Chapter 2322: Slaughter (2)
Chapter 2322: Slaughter (2)
Five Masters of Laws were the targets of the concentrated attack. These were among the weakest of the group, also the ones who were positioned at the edge of the group. Having just released their attacks, they needed a short time to gather themselves.
With over thirty powerhouses attacking at the same time, each of them was faced with about seven attackers when they were completely unprepared. They were all instantly killed. Nobody could react.
Only when the five were dead did Nether Pseudo Emperor finish his warning, "Underwater!"
But it was too late. Five had died instantly.
Next, Heavenbridge Marquis pulled back. The others did the same. They withdrew right after killing their targets.
Silence enveloped the world.
Dead?
What happened?
Where did all those people come from?
Shock covered Nether Pseudo Emperor's face. Where did these people come from? Why were there so many powerhouses? They even outnumbered his group!
Right at that moment, Su Yu's voice rang out from afar, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
Boom!
Before Battle King could reach them, he saw a massive battle erupting from afar. With a cold expression, Su Yu returned with Martial Emperor and declared, "You won't be able to escape. Kneel down, seal your cultivation, and I can spare your lives."
Nether Pseudo Emperor could not recover from his shock. Just what was happening? Where were they from? Also, why were Culture King and Martial King not attacking? Why did the two flee earlier?
Numerous questions filled his mind. However, he did not have the time to think more. He only knew that danger was upon him. Extreme danger. Suddenly, Human Emperor's body flew away. Nether Pseudo Emperor wanted to stop it, but he couldn't do it in time.
At that moment, a certain understanding dawned on him. His head snapped in Su Yu's direction as he said with a grimace, "You...you...you're not..."
They weren't Culture King and Martial King! But who could they be? He was utterly confused. Alas, he was not given the time to think.
A massive battle had erupted behind him. Five on their side had died instantly, but that wasn't the biggest issue here. Their biggest issue was the fact that this sudden change had sowed fear and panic among their people.
Their mysterious opponents had the numerical advantage.
Nether Pseudo Emperor roared, "A trap! Immortal Pseudo Emperor...and the others! This is a trap! We need support!"
They had been encircled.
Boom!
Meanwhile, the myriad races and humans on the front lines all sank into confusion. What happened? Did Culture King and Martial King return with helpers? Whatever.
The battle on their side was too intense for them to think too much. Right at that moment, Human Emperor's voice rang out again, "Kill! Kill them all! Fight with everything you have!"
Boom!
Human Emperor attacked the three supreme powerhouses of the myriad races alone. At the same time, his body was rushing over rapidly. This was a lot more urgent for the three. Thus, Immortal Pseudo Emperor ignored Nether Pseudo Emperor's plea for help and roared, "Go! Stop his body!"
They had to stop Human Emperor's body from approaching.
At that, several myriad race powerhouses flew away. Since they had the numerical advantage here, they could easily send about seven or eight powerhouses over to stop the body.
***
As for Su Yu, he was no longer trying to maintain his disguise.
This was enough!
Five Masters of Laws had died in their ambush. That was enough.
"Go. Kill those fellows."
At Su Yu's command, Martial Emperor shot forth and rushed into the chaotic battlefield. As for Su Yu, he locked onto Nether Pseudo Emperor.
Nether Pseudo Emperor, who was sweating, gnashed his teeth and asked, "You're not Culture King. Who are you?"
"Me? I'm your daddy." Su Yu grinned. Then, he stabbed forth with his pen, "Let's have some fun. Don't bother running."
"Running?"
Nether Pseudo Emperor snorted as a cold and gloomy aura erupted from his body. Countless swords manifested around him before shooting toward Su Yu. "You're not a tier-one."
He could feel that Su Yu was not a proper tier-one, but near that level. In short, the two were about even in strength. However, he couldn't be sure. This was quite confusing. Just how strong was this person? However, this was not the time to think. The time to fight had arrived.
The nether soil started spreading in Su Yu's direction. At the same time, Su Yu used the pen as a blade and swung it forward. The attack did not seem too powerful. But mid-trajectory, it suddenly erupted with a powerful burst of physical body dao. With a rumble, the nether soil shattered while Nether Pseudo Emperor was pushed back.
Shock covered his face.
As of that moment, Su Yu had fully stepped into the ranks of the first tier. And his growth did not seem to be stopping. Yes. He was finally borrowing Return's strength. He hurriedly transmitted, "Return! I need your strength! Keep it flowing! My enemy is here! I need to kill him!"
Behind the Heaven Gate, the old man was left speechless. Why was it happening so soon? Furthermore, it wasn't like the kid stood a chance at killing a peak tier-two. The kid was too arrogant. He truly believed that by borrowing some power, he could kill a peak tier-two as a tier-four.
What was he thinking?
Even so, the old man started sending his power over. Unfortunately, the efficiency seemed too low. Finally, he transmitted in annoyance, "If you're not a match, just flee! Don't persist!"
What was this?
Why was the efficiency so low? He had transferred enough power to fight a Sixteenth Dao powerhouse to the death.
***
Su Yu completely ignored the advice.
He took as much power as he could from the old man. Some of the power was used to reinforce himself, and the rest was used to strengthen his world. By doing so, those fused with his world could grow stronger as well.
At the same time, he was still digesting the power from Great Zhou King's daos. For this battle, he could only keep this tier-one busy. That was all. The others would need to be the ones doing the killing.
***
Heavenbridge Marquis, who was observing the battle from far away, was sweating profusely.
Heavenly Fate, Fateless, and he were the true commanders of this battle.
Under the influence of Su Yu's world, everyone was much stronger than usual. However, a majority of them were tier-threes. They barely had any tier-twos. Meanwhile, their opponents had four tier-twos.
However, Martial Emperor was on their side. The moment Martial Emperor joined the battle, he kept a tier-two busy. That left three tier-twos for the rest. South Heavenly King, Death Spirit King, and the chaos dragon were facing the three with three Masters of Laws supporting each of them.
But at this rate, they would only be able to fight their opponents to a standstill. They could gain a tiny advantage if the three commanders joined the battle as well.
However, there was truly no need for that.
Heavenly Fate's voice rang out in his ears, "Number thirteen."
All the myriad race powerhouses had been labelled accordingly. Heavenly Fate Marquis was in charge of calling out the numbers of the ones they could kill, while Fateless was in charge of calling out the numbers of those needing help on their side.
Their tasks were distributed cleanly.
Number thirteen.
Heavenbridge Marquis focused. An opening had appeared to kill someone. Who should he deploy? Next, a wave of teleportation power swept over Martial Emperor's body. He cursed, but didn't resist. Su Yu had given them an order concerning this.
These teleportations would be used to either help them flee for their lives or kill some enemies.
Understood.
It was time to kill.
As he vanished, his opponent's attack landed on nothing. The opponent first blanked out before looking elsewhere with alarm. At the same time, Martial Emperor appeared before a tier-four Master of Law.
This tier-four was fighting Xia Longwu, and he was riddled with wounds. Martial Emperor did not bother to scan his surroundings or assess the situation. According to their previous orders, he only needed to worry about killing after the teleportation.
"Die!"
He swept his spear out with all his strength. Boom! The tier-four had just evaded an attack from Xia Longwu when Martial Emperor's attack arrived. His head burst apart before he could even react.
Immediately after, Xia Longwu's blade arrived, cutting his entire body apart. Even his dao was cleaved apart.
This was the sixth.
Before anyone could even react, yet another Master of Law was killed. Martial Emperor's previous opponent did not even have the chance to seek a different opponent when both Xia Longwu and Martial Emperor were teleported right to his sides. The moment they appeared, they attacked without any hesitation.
Heavenbridge Marquis' group was in charge of seeking opportunities on the battlefield and moving their people accordingly.
Suddenly, Fateless called out, "Nine!"
He was in charge of reporting those on their side who were in danger.
Heavenbridge did not hesitate to teleport the said person away. Somewhere on the battlefield, He Tu was just about to make another attack when the look in his eyes changed. Next, he vanished just as a dark power erupted right where he was.
That power was incredibly corrosive, capable of even corroding a part of the river. As for He Tu's previous opponent, fury flickered in his eyes. That was a member of the heavenly chasm race.
He Tu, who had reappeared elsewhere, paled when he noticed what happened. That was a curse, one that he had completely failed to detect. Without Heavenbridge's teleportation, he would have been heavily injured by now.
Next, the same teleportation power wrapped around He Tu again. When he reappeared beside the celestial chasm powerhouse, Xia Longwu was with him.
Finally, someone roared with alarm, "It's Heavenbridge! They can teleport freely!"
Instant teleportations.
Their opponents would disappear whenever they were about to land a decisive strike. Meanwhile, more opponents would appear the moment they revealed an opening. This was incredibly terrifying.
Nether Pseudo Emperor's furious voice rang out, "Kill Heavenbridge! Now!"
They had to deal with Heavenbridge! Otherwise, someone capable of freely teleporting in the River of Time would be too dangerous for them. With him, their opponents would have the freedom and flexibility to face them with the most optimal composition.
Right at that moment, Heavenbridge performed yet another teleportation. With a rumble, March smashed a powerhouse to death with his bamboo stick. To the side, September was flashing his ancestor a silly smile. Sure enough, his ancestor was impressive. An opponent he had spent so long fighting had been killed by his ancestor with a single strike.
That was the seventh.
At this point, Nether Pseudo Emperor was starting to lose his calm. In fact, the others were also starting to grow fearful. As more people on their side died, things would only get even more dangerous for them.
"Withdraw!"
Nether Pseudo Emperor ordered. They had to leave. Something terrible might happen otherwise. With that, the various Masters of Laws started fleeing. This wasn't a battle they could keep fighting.
After pushing Nether Pseudo Emperor back with a strike of his blade, Su Yu frowned and roared, "Heaven Gate!"
Martial Emperor blanked out before cursing inwardly.
Holy shit! Weren't they holding the upper hand? Why should he do that?
Was this a good idea?
Su Yu repeated himself with a frosty voice, "Heaven Gate."
Martial Emperor gashed his teeth helplessly. Why? Just why?
The battle had just started!
When their enemies were fleeing, they only needed to give chase and kill more. Was there a need for him to sacrifice his Heaven Gate?
Despite his unwillingness, he still manifested his Heaven Gate before Heavenbridge. And Heavenbridge did not hesitate to swallow the gate with one bite. This was one of the orders Su Yu had given earlier.
When needed, he had to eat Martial Emperor's Heaven Gate. Since the gate was provided by Martial Emperor, he was able to swallow it without much resistance. Instantly, his aura surged.
"Seal!"
With a roar, a burst of sealing power rippled out and swept over Martial Emperor's opponent. As that person stiffened, Su Yu's voice rang out again, "Detonate."
In short, the time had arrived for Martial Emperor to detonate his dao.
Martial Emperor felt like dying. Wasn't this a bit too excessive? This was an opponent he could handle himself. Was there a need for this?
But...but...
"Ahhhhhhh!"
With a mad roar, Martial Emperor manifested his dao. Then, he tossed it toward the temporarily sealed tier-two before detonating it. A tier-two dao was incomparably powerful. And such a dao had been detonated.
Boom!
The sealed tier-two paled with fright. But before he could do anything, a powerful force engulfed his body and reduced him to nothingness.
At the same time, a unique power descended, suppressing the tier-two's dao power. Under the bombardment of Martial Emperor and Heavenbridge, the dao collapsed before being swallowed by Su Yu's world.
Instantly, Martial Emperor reconnected to his dao and returned to being a Master of Law. However, he had dropped to the third tier.
Nevertheless, a tier-two had still died.
The dead tier-two was even someone with an impressive background. Anyone capable of reaching the second tier was not to be underestimated. This dead tier-two, in particular, was a member of the three-headed hound race, a prominent race during the ancient past. Yet he had been killed instantly.
Nether Pseudo Emperor, who was busy withdrawing, was alarmed.
Dead?
That was the eighth!
More importantly, it was a tier-two this time.
A tier-two was already considered a member of their upper echelons.
The deaths of the Masters of Laws had altered the balance of the battlefield. Furthermore, Heavenbridge had grown stronger after devouring a Heaven Gate. Immediately after, Martial Emperor and a few others appeared before the celestial chasm powerhouse.
The celestial chasm powerhouse paled. However, there was nothing he could do.
Martial Emperor was in a terrible mood. The moment he arrived, he roared and attacked. Even after dropping to the third tier, he was still able to send his target flying with a single spear strike. At the same time, March and September attacked alongside Xia Longwu and He Tu. The celestial chasm powerhouse was blasted apart before he could do anything.
That was the ninth.
Those on the other battlefield felt like the battle had barely started. They only knew that rumbles were coming from the other battlefield repeatedly. When Divine Pseudo Emperor finally found the opening to take a look...he blanked out.
Right at that moment, Human Emperor's attack struck him, causing him to cough blood. But even with blood dripping down his mouth, he was blanking out.
Holy shit!
Why did so many people die in such a short time?
It had only been a split second since the start of the battle over there. In a split second, nine Masters of Laws had died, including a tier-two. Even after fighting for so many years, very few tier-twos had died.
Right at that moment, Su Yu's voice rang out again, "March!"
Instantly, March was teleported toward South Heavenly King. March released a powerful bamboo stick without any hesitation. He had yet to unlock the full potential of the bamboo stick, but it no longer mattered.
Su Yu had made things clear previously. The moment he gave the order, it must be carried out.
In truth, March was quite reluctant to part with this bamboo stick. After all, it was a precious weapon he had gained with great difficulty. He had even competed against Great Bamboo, Heavendoom, and September for it. But there was no helping it.
He had a pained look on his face. As he gnashed his teeth, a rumble rang out. Up in the sky, the image of an old man appeared. The expressionless old man held a bamboo stick in his hand. As March's bamboo stick detonated, the old man swung his bamboo stick at the tier-two South Heavenly King was fighting.
The tier-two was a powerhouse from the ape race. He paled with fright.
What was that?
He wanted to flee.
But the incoming strike seemed to be accompanied by a uniquely viscous power, one that was somehow fixing him in place. And then, the bamboo stick landed, smashing the ape's head apart.
March and South Heavenly King attacked together, blasting the ape's body and dao apart.
The tenth.
Also the second tier-two.
