Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 589: Killing Zhou Pingsheng (2)

Chapter 589: Killing Zhou Pingsheng (2)

Suddenly, Su Yu vanished. But that wasn't the issue. The main issue was that even after Su Yu had vanished, the sword continued on its original trajectory. A different individual was standing on Su Yu's previous spot.

It was Li Minyu! Her expression changed when she noticed what was happening. Damn that Su Yu! That bastard was actually capable of instantly switching spots with someone else! Just a moment ago, she was still happily enjoying the show. Suddenly, she had appeared in front of the sword.

And the sword had even changed its target to her. Initially, the sword was locked onto Su Yu. But he had used an unknown method to break free, causing the sword to lock onto Li Minyu's sea of willpower instead.

Zhou Pingsheng was greatly alarmed to see that. Why was that happening? Right at that moment, his heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly retreated. He had barely moved when a saber appeared before him.

Spluuurt!

A leg was sent flying. With a sneer, Su Yu swung his saber yet again.

"Do you think you've won? A piece of trash will forever remain a piece of trash."

Ignoring what was happening with Li Minyu, Su Yu continued advancing on Zhou Pingsheng. Meanwhile, the look of fear in Li Minyu's eyes transformed into one of indifference. With a slight frown, she gazed at Su Yu.

Then, she looked at the sword before her again and shook her head helplessly. What a crafty kid. And what a ruthless kid.

Lan Tian, who had taken control over Li Minyu's body with his strand of consciousness, even wondered if Su Yu would use the girl from the Ji Family to block the sword if Li Minyu wasn't here. That was very likely to happen.

That kid looked kind, but he was actually vicious and merciless. Since he didn't know for sure if Ji Xiaomeng was a friend or an enemy, he wouldn't care about her well-being. A powerful aura erupted from Li Minyu's body. It only lasted for a split second, but that was enough to cause Lan Tian's strand of consciousness to fade away.

Boom!

A loud explosion erupted. Li Minyu was sent flying away while coughing blood. As for the little sword, it had broken apart.

"Cough..."

While coughing blood, Li Minyu regained consciousness. Her face was unsightly. Her teacher's strand of consciousness had been destroyed!

"Su Yu!"

She clenched her teeth in anger. Su Yu was too ruthless! She had never shown him any malice, yet he had used her as a shield unhesitatingly.

Crouching beside her was Ji Xiaomeng, who was poking her with a random branch while asking, "Are you dead? Will your teacher show up again?"

How pitiful.

The little explosion earlier had created multiple holes on her chest. Could she recover from these wounds? Would these wounds leave any scars on her chest? How pitiful. Su Yu was such a savage! She stole a glance at Su Yu and mumbled that he was too fierce.

Meanwhile, Li Minyu was busy coughing blood. She was greatly troubled. Her teacher's stand of consciousness has been broken. What should she do now?

That thought had barely crossed her mind when Ji Xiaomeng took out a bundle of rope and started tying her up. With a cheerful smile, Ji Xiaomeng said, "My dad said that if we can catch your master, we can claim a reward of one million merit points. Even if we only manage to capture you, we'll get a reward of one thousand merit points. I was wondering how I was supposed to capture you before this..."

Before long, the rope was tied all around Li Minyu. She tried to struggle free, but she found that the rope around her was surprisingly tough. She had no way of breaking free.

"Ji Xiaomeng, your father is not my teacher's match. Since my teacher isn't active in Great Xia, why provoke us for no reason?"

Ji Xiaomeng said, "I'm not provoking you. I'm only capturing you since you're already right in front of me. Su Yu and Teacher Zhou are the ones who have done this to you. Why don't you pay me one thousand merit points? I can let you go for the money."

"..."

Li Minyu snorted and decided to ignore Ji Xiaomeng.

"Wait, even the merit points on you should be mine now!"

Ji Xiaomeng then searched Li Minyu's body before fishing a merit card out.

She was about to swipe the money in the card for herself when Su Yu, who had just severed an arm of Zhou Pingsheng, said, "Ji Xiaomeng, don't lay your hands on something that is not yours. That's my spoils of war."

"..."

Ji Xiaomeng stiffened somewhat. She pitifully said, "Her teacher is very strong. It's not worth offending her teacher for money..."

"It's still mine. If you steal from me, I'll make sure that not even your money will be yours anymore."

"..."

Ji Xiaomeng pouted angrily before throwing the card onto the ground. Seeing that Su Yu wasn't looking at her, she kicked the card further away. Perhaps he would forget about the card later. She would then be able to take it for herself. That shouldn't be considered taking from him, right?

Li Minyu felt terrible. How could she fall into the hands of a silly girl like this? This was too embarrassing!

Su Yu ignored Ji Xiaomeng's antics. Well done, Lan Tian. Without Lan Tian, he would need to deal with that sword himself. He was right to keep these people around. These people were quite useful. If something like that happened again, it would be Ji Xiaomeng's turn to be his shield.

Zhou Pingsheng had greatly exhausted himself activating the Mountainsea talisman. Combined with the hammer strike on his sea of willpower and the loss of his limbs, his combat strength had dropped significantly.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was still at the peak of his strength, possessing the combat prowess of a Cloudbreach. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Pingsheng was reduced to a sorry state.

Desperate, Zhou Pingsheng howled madly, "Kill him! Kill him! Something is wrong about his character technique and his apertures!"

This did not make any sense! A character technique with 8 characters and 108 linked apertures? This did not make any sense!

Meanwhile, Jin Yuhui muttered to himself, "This isn't right. A character technique with eight characters..no..this is...disassembly! The disassembly method! Bai Feng!"

He suddenly recalled what Bai Feng had done. His expression changed drastically at that realization.

"The character technique has actually been disassembled!"

With a look of madness in his eyes, he howled, "Su Yu, since you can disassemble your character technique, can you assemble it as well?"

He knew the difficulty of fusing multiple characters as he also walked the path of character fusion.

Su Yu sneered, "Why don't you take a guess?"

Jin Yuhui howled, "That is definitely possible! Is it Bai Feng or is it you? Or is it Hong Tan? No, it can't be. It's either you or Bai Feng!"

Some of the people there were still confused, but Jin Yuhui had realized what was happening. Shortly after, Yu Hong's expression changed drastically as realization hit her as well. One after another, the expressions of the single character faction experts changed.

Even Xia Wen was howling madly, "Su Yu, are you capable of disassembling your character technique? What will happen next? Is it possible to reassemble the technique? Can you add more characters into the technique after taking it apart?"

This discovery could change the path of all cultural researchers.

Su Yu laughed wildly, "Of course I can."

Xia Wen howled, "Second Brother, fight with everything you have! We need to protect Su Yu and bring news of this back!"

They must protect Su Yu! This was a discovery that could change everything. It would enable countless cultural researchers who were not multiple character cultivators to grow greatly in strength. It could even be the key to breaking through the barrier between the Mountainsea and the Sunmoon Realms.

This was something that might grant humanity dozens of new Sunmoons. This might increase the strength of human cultural researchers by at least fifty percent. This was even more important than a so-called ruin. It was even more important than Su Yu himself.

Was Bai Feng capable of the same? Probably.

But Bai Feng was already at the Allheaven Battlefield. They didn't even know if he was still alive. Meanwhile, Su Yu was still alive. He was right in front of their eyes. Apart from Su Yu and Bai Feng, did anyone else know how to do this? Xia Wen was unsure. He could only use all his strength to protect Su Yu and ensure that this new knowledge would not be lost.

Xia Wen, Xia Wu, and Hu Hao started fighting madly. Hu Hao had already been suspicious of Su Yu's strength. Now that he had finally witnessed Su Yu's character technique, he was alarmed. His suspicions had been correct.

Xia Wen howled, "Sky Horse and Mountain Antelope, protect Su Yu at even if you have to die doing so. Escort him out of here at all costs. Great Xia will not forget this!"

He was making a promise on behalf of the Xia Family. The situation permitted it. At this point, the old sky horse's wings had already been broken while the old mountain antelope had lost his antlers. Even so, they still rose and fought bitterly.

Even Blood Rakshasha was looking at Su Yu with hesitation. He had to capture Su Yu. This kid couldn't be killed. The 108 apertures and disassembled character technique of Su Yu could no longer be hidden from these experts.

Boom!

Finally, Jin Yuhui was attacking without holding anything back. He must capture Su Yu. As a Sunmoon, he knew more than the others. At the Sunmoon Realm, he was capable of fusing eight characters into a system.

Something was telling him that the character techniques of the multiple character faction might be the key to reaching the Invincible as a cultural researcher. Unfortunately, he did not have a character technique. And his cultivation was already too high to start forming one.

Thus, he was even more desperate than the others. He roared, "Su Yu, is it now possible for those at the Skysoar Realm and above to form character techniques? Answer me!"

With this, even those who were still clueless finally understood everything. Even One-eye and the other beasts were alarmed. Turning everyone into multiple character faction cultivators? Was that a joke?

The multiple character faction was filled with butchers. But due to the difficulty of their cultivation, there weren't a lot of them. Thus, the myriad races could still tolerate them somewhat. But what if everyone could follow the teachings of the multiple character faction?

What if even those at the Skysoar Realm and beyond could form character techniques?

Holy shit!

This would shake even the Myriad Realms!

***

Zhu Tiandao wiped his sweat and muttered, "Holy shit. 108 apertures, foundation cultural art, ability blood essence, and the disassembly of character techniques, allowing people at the Skysoar Realm and beyond to form character techniques...Old Hou, we need to silence everyone here. I don't think this is something I can handle."

Any one of Su Yu's trump cards was enough to shake the world.

Zhu Tiandao wondered if he was getting extremely lucky or if he was actually getting unlucky. If words of this spread, things would get very troublesome. Even his old man might have trouble withstanding the resulting pressure.

The biggest issue was the disassembly method. Was it really possible for one to form a character technique even after reaching the Skysoar Realm? If that was possible, all cultural researchers would go wild.

These people had not opted to cultivate character techniques because it was too difficult, not because they didn't want to. Even a talented genius like Wu Jia had only formed nine characters so far. One should not forget that she was a high-high student who Chen Yong had personally taught like a daughter.

The multiple character faction's path was simply too difficult. Only a super genius could successfully form a character technique. How many super freaks would Great Xia produce each year?

That was not a path anyone could walk. But it was a path everyone wanted to walk.

Did the people in the single character faction really want to become the members of the single character faction? They were simply left with no choice since they weren't talented enough to join the multiple character faction. They blamed the multiple character faction for wasting resources, but they were simply jealous.

Who wouldn't want to be unrivaled within the same cultivation level? When they were members of the single character faction, they would naturally blame the multiple character faction for wasting resources. But if they could actually become a part of the multiple character faction, they would be more than willing to do so.

The prospect of strength was too alluring. Zhu Tiandao was starting to sweat in panic.

Holy shit!

Just how big of a genius had he recruited this time? Wait, did Bai Feng know this as well? That...was a genious of Great Ming! Since his student was going to join Great Ming, was Bai Feng not returning to Great Ming? He was born in Great Ming!

In his excitement, Zhu Tiandao said, "Time to end this! Kill them all! Old Hou, kill, no, get some people over and seal the entire Starfall Mountain. Kill them all—wait, scratch that. Some of the Great Xia fellows can be spared. Xia Longwu should know how to deal with them."

There was no longer any need to keep fishing. What were a few more Sunmoons compared to Su Yu? He had to prioritize getting Su Yu into Great Ming!

But Director Hou suddenly said, "Wait a bit more."

Zhu Tiandao stopped moving as he had also sensed what Director Hou had sensed. The look in his eyes changed as he cursed, "Fuck!"
