Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 933: If Su Yu Wants You To Die At Three (3)

Su Yu continued killing death spirits in secret.

More and more death spirits appeared in the city.

Darkness covered the entire city.

And the darkness continued to intensify.

The number of Mountainsea death spirits was increasing as well. One, two, three...

The death spirits were growing increasingly violent. Too many death spirits had died. And since they couldn't pinpoint the culprit, they could only attack indiscriminately. All the non-residents in the city became their targets. As long as they could kill all non-residents, peace would naturally return. That was their logic.

Rumble!

Yet another locked door was blasted open. A Mountainsea expert in the building roared while fleeing in panic, "Help me! Someone, help me! The Mountainsea death spirits are forcefully opening our doors! Let's head to the mayor's residence together!"

Whoosh!

A sword ray shot over and pushed the Mountainsea death spirit back. An Mintian and the others were here to help. Things were getting very troublesome. For the sake of survival, they had to join hands.

Soon, one hidden expert after another revealed themselves. Some were Mountainseas and some were Cloudbreaches. More than thirty experts had appeared in the seemingly dead city. About eight of them were Mountainseas. This was quite a surprising number.

"Final Armor." An expert from a different race said, "Stop waiting. We need to get to the mayor's residence. What is the mayor doing right now? We need to make him open the gates so that we can leave."

They were going to die soon. What was the point of waiting here for Su Yu? A large number of Mountainsea death spirits had appeared. If this continued, even ancient death spirits at the Sunmoon Realm might start appearing. At that point...all of them would die.

The appearance of such an existence might even end all lives in the city.

Final Armor struggled to make that decision. As for Dao Cheng, he gave Su Yu's building one last glance and said, "Let's go to the mayor's residence first..."

"No!" Final Armor clenched his teeth, "Things are getting dangerous for us, but it's the same for Su Yu. Since even he is still hiding indoors, why should we be afraid? At worst, we can lure some Mountainsea death spirits over. Perhaps they can open his door."

Everyone was equally in trouble, including Su Yu. That was what Final Armor believed. Even if they had to leave, they had to kill Su Yu first. Otherwise, all their losses thus far would have been for nothing.

Dao Cheng performed a divination, but his character exploded. He sighed. That was a sign of absolute danger. The danger was so high not even his divination could read the level of danger awaiting them.

This city had revealed its real face.

A city of the dead.

"Mo Duona is still inside the city. Let's look for Mo Duona first." Dao Cheng said, "Perhaps Mo Duona will know what to do. He's very strong and he might have some treasures bestowed by Invincibles on him."

Who would go?

Final Armor looked at Dao Cheng and said, "Let Jiu Xuan go."

"No!"

Dao Cheng refused. That was too dangerous.

Final Armor coldly said, "The mystic armor race is not respectable enough to ask for his help. He will simply ignore us. Either you or Jiu Xuan needs to go."

After a slight hesitation, Dao Cheng said, "I'll go. Don't stray from Jiu Xuan's side."

He turned to face Jiu Xuan and said, "Don't leave this building. Stay close to Brother Final Armor at all times..."

Jiu Xuan said anxiously, "It's very dangerous out there. If you really need to go, why don't you go with Commander Silver Armor? With him around, it will be safer for you."

Dao Cheng considered that and nodded. He looked at Silver Armor and said, "I'll have to trouble you for this, Commander Silver Armor. Even better if we could gather up the others as well. If this continues, all of us will be in trouble."

Silver Armor looked at Final Armor. With a nod, Final Armor sent a voice transmission, "Keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't run off himself. Between him and Jiu Xuan, one of them must remain with us at all times. The immortals have not sacrificed anything in this operation while we have lost several Mountainseas. We can't allow them to run away just like this."

"I understand."

Silver Armor replied through voice transmission as well. He understood what his superior was saying. They couldn't allow the two immortals to leave their sight. Otherwise, the two could very well choose to abandon the operation.

Dao Cheng knew what Final Armor was thinking. He wouldn't have offered to go alone otherwise. The mystic armor race was most likely harboring an extremely conflicted view of them at the moment.

Soon, Dao Cheng left with Silver Armor. He had to gather up more people and look for Mo Duona. Not even the mayor could afford to slight Mo Duona. Thus, they needed Mo Duona if they wanted to get out of this predicament.

***

Not far away.

Su Yu was tempted to make a move.

Should he? Who should he target? Dao Cheng and Silver Armor or Final Armor and Jiu Xuan? Since he was going to kill through a sneak attack, picking the stronger person to kill was naturally the smarter choice. But could he even kill Final Armor? Even through a sneak attack, it wouldn't be easy.

Should he target Dao Cheng first? That immortal was too strange and unsettling. Something was telling Su Yu that killing Dao Cheng might be even harder than killing Final Armor.

"If I fail to kill Dao Cheng in one hit, Final Armor will arrive shortly. Meanwhile, I will no longer have anything to fear inside the city if I can kill Final Armor."

For him, the biggest threats in the city were Final Armor, Mo Duona, and the Sunmoon mayor. He did not notice any other Sunmoon in the city.

Su Yu was unable to make a decision. Soon, he clenched his teeth and decided to just do it. If he wanted to kill someone, he might as well set his sights higher. He would target Final Armor and Jiu Xuan.

Killing the two, especially a peak Mountainsea like Final Armor, might grant him more heavenly rewards. Perhaps that could even help him finish a few more body forgings. But a peak Mountainsea wouldn't die so easily, even to sneak attacks.

He could unleash the strength of a third-stage Mountainsea for a short moment. The sneak attack would only grant him one chance to kill his target. If he failed, his target would be on alert. And he would no longer be able to kill his target.

"Should I just wait for the Mountainsea death spirits to kill him instead? That's the best way for me to succeed."

Perhaps this was his sole option. Of course, not even a Mountainsea death spirit could guarantee Final Armor's death, but that would force him out of the building. That would create more openings for Su Yu to do something.

He could forget about the others for now. As long as he could kill the biggest threat in the city, he did not need to fear anything else in the city.

Having made up his mind, Su Yu vanished into thin air and reappeared near Final Armor's building. There, he stopped the reversal of his acupoints and dispersed the death qi in his body, allowing his real aura to surface.

Instantly, three Mountainsea death spirits appeared near him. They were here because they finally found the aura of the killer who had killed so many death spirits. The three Mountainsea death spirits had appeared not far away from Final Armor.

But after a short moment, they grew irritated. Where was the killer? The aura of the killer had vanished yet again.

Rumble!

Once again, the death spirits started attacking indiscriminately. Rumbling sounds rang out unceasingly. More and more people started fleeing in the direction of the mayor's residence. They couldn't stay idle anymore.

And before long, Final Armor's expression changed. Perhaps the three death spirits were attracted by his powerful aura. All three of them had appeared in front of his building together. One of them rushed toward the building. Rumbling sounds rang out as the incorporeal barrier tried to stop its entry.

A few death spirits were also trying to break into the little furball's building. But fortunately, Su Yu was there. He started pretending like he was trying to break through the door. The death spirits sank into momentary confusion when they saw someone taking over their task. After a short pause, they went across the street instead.

Someone was already there. They were not needed there.

Su Yu exhaled in relief to see that. Good. But things were absolutely not good for the building across the street.

Final Armor retaliated. He pushed the Mountainsea death spirit back with one strike, but that only increased the number of death spirits in front of him.

His expression sank as he looked at Jiu Xuan, "We might need to abandon this place. Get ready to leave with me. Do not stop once we start moving."

"Leave?" Jiu Xuan hurriedly said, "What about Big Brother Dao Cheng and the others?"

"They will be fine. We can reconvene with them later." Final Armor solemnly said, "There are already three Mountainsea death spirits here. This is the eighteenth ring so it will take them some time to get through the door. But the door won’t be able to hold them forever. More and more of them are gathering here. We need to leave while we still can."

"I understand."

Jiu Xuan was also an elite cultivator. Thus, she was able to act decisively when she sensed that danger was approaching. Final Armor gave the building across the street one more glance. A death spirit was trying to break inside Su Yu's building as well. But the death spirit did not seem too strong. A sense of helplessness rose within him when he saw that.

Whatever. Perhaps his departure would cause these death spirits to switch their target and move on to Su Yu's building instead. With the gates shut, Su Yu wouldn't be able to escape anyway.

Once again, he pushed a Mountainsea death spirit back. He did not even dare to use too much force in his strike. He was worried about accidentally killing one and spawning an even stronger death spirit. That would be very troublesome. If a Sunmoon death spirit appeared, not even he could survive.

Then, he said, "Now!"

He dragged Jiu Xuan and dashed out of the building. It was time for them to leave. The death spirits started giving chase. As for Su Yu, he joined the group of death spirits. It was still not the time for him to make a move yet. Final Armor was still on high alert.

Nevertheless, having Final Armor out in the streets was a good thing for him. There were a lot of death spirits in the city. He could find another chance to release his aura again. Perhaps that would lure even more death spirits over. Final Armor...and the little fairy...time for them to die.

Did they think they could escape the death spirits by leaving their building? That was such a beautiful dream. With him around, the death spirits in the city would be fully focused on the two of them.

He started slowing down, and before long, he ended the reversal of his acupoints. Instantly, numerous death spirits rushed over. Not far ahead, Final Armor cursed. He had assumed that the newly arrived death spirits were here for him. At that moment, two new Mountainsea death spirits had appeared in front of him.

He couldn't stop cursing under his breath. What was going on? When the death spirits pursued others, they would give up after a short while. But why were things different for him? Furthermore, there were even Mountainsea death spirits going after him. Was this because he was too strong?

Final Armor couldn't understand this. Jiu Xuan had an unsightly expression as well. She felt terrible. The death qi around her was too dense, causing her to feel extremely uncomfortable.
