Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 916: Lunatic (3)

Chapter 916: Lunatic (3)

Just as Su Yu was about to pull away, Tian Men suddenly spoke, "Black Armor, you're already a resident of Heavendoom City. It is unlikely that you will be able to leave the city in your life. Things won't end well for you after your betrayal of the mayor for the mystic armor race."

Black Armor coldly said, "Betrayal? Commander Tian Men, you jest. I am merely serving my people. How is that betrayal? There is no need for you to worry about my future."

Tian Men said, "So be it."

Then, he flew toward a different city gate. Some visitors seemed to be trying to enter the city there. At the moment, those visitors were stuck outside. It would seem like Tian Men was flying over to deal with this issue.

Su Yu blanked out. He started hesitating. Did that individual notice him? Was this a deliberate opening created for him to act or was this a trap? This was too big of a coincidence.

He had just arrived when the second Mountainsea found a reason to leave, giving him the perfect chance to make his move against the lone Mountainsea left behind. He was having trouble believing he could get this lucky.

An opening was right before him. What else could he do? The Mountainsea from the city guards did not seem to get along well with Black Armor. Then again, that was understandable. He wasn't even a mystic armor. Why should he offend the humans for the sake of Black Armor?

With his presence completely hidden and a blade in hand, Su Yu consumed a drop of Mountainsea blood essence. A blinding saber light erupted out of nowhere. Intense killing intent permeated the place. With the calm character, Black Armor was unable to immediately detect the crisis.

Kill, battle, blood, fire, lightning...

Using multiple fourth-tier characters with his character technique, Su Yu's willpower reached the level of a peak Cloudbreach. Black Armor was a Mountainsea, but that did not mean that his willpower had reached the same realm.

It was very common to see a Mountainsea warrior with their willpower stuck at the Skysoar Realm. Black Armor was blanking out as the blade descended upon him. But almost instantly, his source qi erupted and cleared his mind. With a roar, he activated his Armorize ability.

His black armor turned white and shiny. All his acupoints activated. He had yet to complete the process of fully fusing his acupoints into one, but the process had started, making him a true Mountainsea. He stabbed his spear outward.

Right at that moment, a profound weapon in his storage ring exploded. His storage ring was blasted apart. Even he himself staggered slightly from the explosion. That caused his spear strike to miss. A look of alarm covered his eyes as a certain realization dawned on him.

But at that moment, the blade arrived.

Rumble!

The blade was a character technique. With one strike, it cut into Black Armor's sea of willpower, but it left Black Armor's physical body undamaged. The vibrate character worked its magic, shredding the sea of willpower apart.

Su Yu followed with a kick. Combining the physical strength of a Mountainsea and his Time technique, he penetrated the tough armor with a pop. Even the core within Black Armor's body was instantly blasted apart by the kick.

Before anyone could even blink, Black Armor was already in Su Yu's storage ring. A cloud appeared in the sky, but it was swallowed by the little furball before Su Yu could even take a look at it.

"Mine! Willpower!"

"..."

Holy shit!

Why was this furball's memory so good? That was merely a random promise Su Yu had given to entice him. The furball had not forgotten the promise.

Su Yu did not stop with Black Armor. Since he had acted, he might as well go all the way. He started flickering in the are as head after head dropped to the ground. There were several Cloudbreaches there, but none of them could react.

Only then did Tian Men's roar rang out from afar, "Audacious! How dare you attack the night patrol? Guards, watch the gates. I'll personally deal with this criminal." He was shouting very loudly, but he was moving rather slowly. With so many deaths, a large number of death spirits appeared in the area.

Only then did Tian Men arrive. With a medallion in his hand, he roared, "Leave!"

The death spirits hesitated, but they eventually left one after another. Before long, sounds of people flying over rapidly rang out from the distance. Final Armor and the other experts were rushing over.

Final Armor had a dark look in his eyes. Meanwhile, Dao Cheng looked into the distance with a few characters swirling above his palm. He saw the thick death qi in the distance. After a slight hesitation, he roared, "Give chase!"

Final Armor and the other gladly did so.

Damn it!

They weren't even that far away, yet the attacker did not hesitate to charge in and kill Black Armor. Even the night patrol was not spared. More than half of them were dead. After they all left, Tian Men smiled and killed the remaining night patrol with a casual wave of his hand.

"Commander!"

The guards around him exclaimed in alarm.

"Don't worry. They were killed by death spirits."

Then, Tian Men released a burst of death qi toward the corpses of the night patrol. He indifferently said, "This is the Heavendoom City, not Mystic Armor City."

The guards sank into a momentary silence.

Shortly after, one of them asked, "Lord, was the human earlier Su Yu?"

"Perhaps."

Tian Men smiled. Who could say for sure? He only knew that Black Armor was a fool. He was already a commander of the night patrol. Why was he still taking orders from the mystic armor race? Did he really think that the mayor would let that slide?

Yes, their mayor had the habit of ignoring everything. But by no means was he someone who would tolerate betrayal in his own territory. After becoming a member of the night patrol, one would belong to the city, not the race they came from.

"His weapon detonated by itself..."

Tian Men muttered to himself, recalling if he had accepted any weapons from that kid. How fortunate. The answer was no. It was true that one would either need to forge their own weapons or have it done by a reliable weaponsmith. As for weaponsmiths like Su Yu, one should never accept their weapons lest the weapons explode randomly while one was in the middle of battle.

"Black Armor is already near the second-stage Mountainsea Realm yet he was killed with a single slash. What a terrifying kid."

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was busy running from ten death spirits.

That was a terrifying number.

The hissing sounds around him grew louder and louder. A large amount of death qi tried to invade his body, forcing him to waste a large amount of heavenly source qi. Suddenly, his body shook.

With a rumble, a blinding golden radiance erupted from his body. He had finally completed his seventeenth body forging. That pushed his physical strength beyond nine thousand acupoints. At the eighteenth body forging, he would reach the strength of ten thousand acupoints, putting him on par with regular Mountainseas.

He had yet to fully exhaust the power of the Mountainsea blood essence he consumed earlier, but he could feel that with this advancement, the blood essence was no longer that useful for him.

But since he had reached the strength of nine thousand acupoints, perhaps he could try consuming the blood essence of middle-stage Mountainseas. It should be fine, right? Or perhaps not.

Not long ago, he learned at the Vanguard Regiment that a fifth-stage Mountainsea would have the strength of fifty thousand acupoints. The gap between the early and middle stages of the Mountainsea Realm was quite big. In fact, this was also applicable for the gap between the middle and late stages.

Final Armor was rapidly catching up with Su Yu. Due to the large number of death spirits behind Su Yu, Final Armor did not dare to rashly approach. Rather, he shouted from afar, "Su Yu, how dare you?"

Su Yu ignored the shout.

A different voice rang out, "Su Yu, you can run, but don't forget that there are a lot of humans in the city. They are not strong enough to run like you. Why don't you fight a match with me? I'll spare those humans if you agree."

Su Yu said nothing. He merely took out something from his storage ring. It was the corpse of a recently deceased mystic armor Cloudbreach. He tossed the corpse out before throwing a punch at it.

Boom!

The corpse was blasted apart. As this was a recently deceased individual, the blood within the body was still quite fresh. As the black blood rained down from the sky, around eight additional death spirits appeared out of thin air.

Boom!

Final Armor and the others found themselves rushing headfirst into the midst of newly spawned death spirits.

Final Armor hurriedly took out a medallion and roared an order. After a slight hesitation, the death spirits unwillingly rushed in Su Yu's direction instead. In mere moments, the number of death spirits behind him rose to more than ten.

Final Armor coldly said, "This trick won't work against us. You're merely digging your own grave. Nobody can save you now."

Su Yu was simply dreaming if he wanted to deal with them using the death spirits. There was a large group of death spirits behind Su Yu. There were also numerous death spirits all over the city. There was no escape for Su Yu, the culprit who had spawned all these death spirits.

Su Yu could clearly sense that there were even several Cloudbreach death spirits in the mix from the intensity of the death qi assaulting his body. He took out his medallion, causing several death spirits to stop in their tracks. But the rest of the death spirits continued pursuing him.

But that was enough to force Final Armor and the others to stop as several death spirits were now standing in their way. Final Armor frowned with annoyance. Death spirits were very troublesome to deal with. Sure, the medallions worked against them, but that would not last forever.

"Let's retreat for now."

Dao Cheng made the choice to stay away from these death spirits for now. A lot of their weaker members were already filled with death qi. If they continued their pursuit, they would be in a lot of trouble as well.

Final Armor cursed with frustration, but he had no choice but to order a withdrawal. Ahead of them, Su Yu vanished into the distance.

Looking in Su Yu's direction, Dao Cheng frowned. Using a phrase common among the humans, Su Yu was very cold-blooded. He showed zero reaction even when he was being threatened with the lives of the other humans.

But he wasn't too worried as the dense death qi around Su Yu was serving as the beacon to constantly update them on his location. After all, the death qi around Su Yu was currently the thickest in the entire city. He wouldn't be able to escape them. Even if he took shelter in an unoccupied building, nothing would change.

"Let's follow from the distance. It would be even better if he decided to hide inside an unoccupied building. We can keep him trapped in the building."

Final Armor nodded in agreement. They resumed their pursuit. Two Mountainseas had perished thus far.

Beside Dao Cheng, Jiu Xuan said, "Big Brother Dao Cheng, he seems to be even stronger than me..."

Dao Cheng said nothing. But he did notice that Su Yu's killing intent was incredibly strong. How did the human race produce someone so murderous? Earlier, Su Yu had given them a glance before leaving. That gaze of his was akin to someone looking indifferently at corpses. His eyes were even more murderous than the eyes of the death spirits. What a terrifying young man.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu had taken out his index copy yet again.

"Lure the death spirits behind me away."

"Five drops of Sunmoon blood essence."

"I don't have that. I can offer you two Mountainsea corpses from the mystic armor race."

"Deal. We can keep them occupied for half an hour."

"One hour. Don't even dream of working for only half an hour for two Mountainsea corpses."

They were too greedy!

"Sure."

Su Yu had nothing else to say. Inwardly, he was cursing. Greedy bastards! He was the one doing the heavy lifting, killing even two Mountainseas and giving the corpses to them. But that was only enough to buy their service for one hour.

Holy shit!

They better not give him an opening to do anything. Otherwise, he would definitely give the damn Heavenly Hunt Pavilion a big trouble. He had decided to remember the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion for this.

A short while later, a masked individual appeared before him. The individual was still clad in white.

"Pay up."

Su Yu tossed a storage ring over. The white figure then took out a medallion and gave a series of orders. The death spirits seemed hesitant, but they ultimately obeyed and left with the white figure.

Su Yu exhaled in relief. Good. He was feeling way too much pressure with so many death spirits behind him.

One hour...

Those people would probably assume that the death spirits were still behind him. Well, it was time for them to suffer some payback.

Su Yu vanished into thin air and started heading toward Final Armor. But he needed to stop on the way and find a place to try consuming a drop of third-stage Mountainsea blood essence. If he could push his physical body to that level, he would be able to do much more against those people.

After killing multiple Mountainseas, Su Yu's name had finally increased by one rank in the index.

16th on Heaven Index, Su Yu.

His past accomplishments had changed slightly, indicating that he had killed multiple Mountainseas in the past. At the same time, the index copies of numerous individuals shook. When they saw the update, they cursed at the lunatic murderer.

How many days had it been? How many Mountainseas had he killed during the time? Were Mountainseas really so insignificant?

***

Human territory.

Marquis Xia had an index copy in his hand as well. When he saw the update, he grumbled, "What is he doing still killing people left and right out there? He should be running back to the human territory instead."

Was he trying to speedrun losing his life?

It was inconvenient for Great Xia to get involved at this time. If Great Ming wanted to interfere, they had to deploy at least a peak Sunmoon to stand a chance at bringing the troublemaker back safely.

***

At the same time.

News started spreading rapidly.

Great Ming, Human Realm.

Zhu Tiandao sighed. What a troublemaker. Just which race was the troublemaker fighting this time?

The mystic armor race? How audacious of the mystic armors. Why did they retaliate when the kid tried to kill them? How dare they! If the kid wanted to kill them, they should just stretch their necks out and welcome death. Did they really think that the Mystic Armor King was all-powerful?

"Umbra."

"Here!"

"Take the Shadow Guard and enter the Allheaven Battlefield. Bring Su Yu back." Zhu Tiandao ordered, "If anyone tries to get in the way, kill them all."

"Lord, how many people—"

"All of them."

Umbra exclaimed in shock, "Lord, all twelve of them?"

"Go."

"Yes!"

Umbra was greatly alarmed. Twelve Shadow Guard members. Including himself, there were thirteen of them. Six of them were Sunmoons and seven of them were peak Mountainseas. This was the most elite security personnel Great Ming had to offer. Had the prefect gone mad?

It was too risky to send them all to the Allheaven Battlefield at the same time. Umbra didn't even dare to imagine the consequences of losing them all.

Staring at the index copy, Zhu Tiandao muttered, "Damn it! I'll take this gamble. He's already capable of killing Mountainseas. Perhaps...this is the second coming of Ye Batian."
