Chapter 509: Killing Skysoar (3)
Su Yu's heart thumped. He realized that...he was still not cautious enough. Even after knowing that some people might be making a move on him, he still did not suspect these strangers just because of their uniform. This was too careless of him.
While Su Yu was feeling some lingering fear from his own carelessness, the fake soldiers approached him. When they approached, Su Yu saw that they looked nothing like the individuals he had encountered earlier.
There were five of them, three men and two women. It wasn't too surprising for women to be present in the Martial Dragon Guards. After all, there were a lot of female cultivators out there.
All five of them looked young.
They stopped in front of Su Yu. From the uniform, the leader of this group was a 100-man commander. Xia Bing of Nanyuan was only a 10-man commander as an early-stage Skysoar. Su Yu guessed that this leader was probably the leader of that Zhang Family.
A ninth-stage Skysoar?
While he was thinking, the leader asked, "A student? Don't run around so late at night. Su Yu...are you that famous strongest new student of Great Xia Cultural Research Academy?"
"Yeah..."
Su Yu played along. He couldn't help but admire the guts of these people.
They actually dared to pretend to be Martial Dragon Guards. How incredible.
The leader looked around before frowning, "You're traveling without a dao protector? Are you tired of living? A genius student like you is definitely on the bounty list of the Myriad Race Cult. They will not spare you when they encounter you. Sure, the suburbs are relatively safe, but there is no guarantee that you will receive prompt assistance in the event of an attack."
"Thank you for the reminder, Sir."
Su Yu knew what the man was doing. The man was trying to fish for information about any hidden dao protectors.
"Since it's only a trip to the suburbs, I didn't let my martial uncle escort me. After all, I'm still within the capital itself..."
Su Yu flashed a simple smile and said, "With the Martial Dragon Guards around, how would those shady individuals dare to try anything? The main city isn't even that far away. I'll reach there soon."
"Do you have your student ID with you?"
With a smile, Su Yu hopped off his mount and took out his student identification and said, "Sir, this is my student ID."
As he said that, he handed his student identification over.
"Fifth Brother, check it."
At that, a man stepped forth. According to the water elemental, this might be the boy they had encountered earlier.
After checking the student ID with a serious expression, the boy said, "Lord, it's real."
"This place is not too far away from the main city, but you're a genius student. Why are you traveling alone so late at night? Forget it. We'll escort you back..."
With a strict expression, the leader said, "Remember, don't travel alone when you're leaving the main city in the future. It's not easy being a genius. You need to be on constant alert."
The old man deliberately nagged Su Yu so that they would stay there longer. With their presence, even if there were others who were targeting Su Yu around, those people would promptly retreat.
...
Little did they know, a Mountainsea was observing them high in the sky. After staring at the soldiers for a while, he rubbed his temple and lamented that he was really getting old. Initially, he had not noticed anything.
He had thought that this was truly a coincidence. But he eventually realized something. Weren't these fellows...the same people from the Zhang Family?
"Age is truly catching up with me!"
The middle-aged man sighed. If these people were slightly better at disguise and were Cloudbreach cultivators, he would probably fail to detect anything off about them. This was too embarrassing!
"No, I have known about them all along. I discovered them the moment they appeared. I was merely waiting to test Su Yu's reaction. I am merely giving him the opportunity to learn about how complicated the real world is..."
Yeap. He was making excuses for himself.
But shortly after, his expression turned awkward again. He saw that as Su Yu walked forward, the shadow under him was slowly merging into Zhang Wu's shadow.
Evidently, Su Yu had seen through these fake soldiers.
How awkward.
The hell?
That kid had actually seen through these people before him. He was a Mountainsea! This was too embarrassing!
The so-called unrivaled within the same level was generally only a term used when talking about those who were similarly geniuses. As for a garbage cultivator like this, a freak like Su Yu should be able to skip a level and kill him instead.
With a roar, the young man's body lit up as he activated his acupoints.
Warrior.
With a sneer, Su Yu said, "Garbage. A piece of trash with only 60 acupoints..."
With only 60 acupoints, even a Skysoar wouldn't be too impressive.
"Die!"
The hammer descended upon the young man. Instead of attacking, the young man was actually trying to turn around and flee. But instantly, he froze. But immediately after, his life force surged and forcefully pushed the hammer back. Nevertheless, he was still experiencing slight dizziness.
He was just about to start fleeing again when his vision blurred and Su Yu appeared in front of him.
The young man was alarmed. When did Su Yu get in front of him?
But he immediately realized something and roared, "Break!"
His source qi surged and broke through the illusion. His guess was confirmed. This was indeed an illusion. Alas, he was still too slow.
Behind him, with a cultural weapon in hand and 300 bright acupoints, Su Yu swung his saber, unleashing a torrential wave of saber qi. The young man turned around and faced the attack with his saber in fury.
Boom!
The two sabers collided loudly.
Under control of Su Yu's willpower, the hammer reappeared. At the same time, his killing intent and battle intent surged out.
The young man was so shocked that he actually took a step back. How was this a Great Strength cultivator?
The hell?
Great Strength?
This was too strong to be a Great Strength cultivator!
The young man was just about to charge forward again when Su Yu retrieved the saber with a sneer. Then, eight characters came together, forming a small saber in his sea of willpower.
Character technique!
This was his first time using his character technique. This was a perfect opportunity for him to test its might. And this was also his first time using the disassembly method, allowing him to use his character technique with only eight characters.
Skybreak Technique!
The cultural weapon fused with the character technique, instantly growing sharply in strength. At the same time, Su Yu's willpower drained rapidly.
With eight characters, his character technique appeared incredibly powerful. In fact, it felt almost as strong as the character techniques of some of the multiple character faction's past Skysoar cultivators. That was understandable, as Su Yu had multiple second-tier characters.
And his willpower was also as strong as the willpower of a Skysoar. Thus, this attack of his was akin to the attack of a multiple character faction's Skysoar cultivator.
"Kill!"
When he was a few meters away from his opponent, he swung his saber. WIth a roar, the young man also swung his saber to meet the incoming attack. But at that moment, his vision blurred, causing him to miss it completely.
"I'm a cultural researcher, idiot."
With a pale face, Su Yu snorted. His cultural weapon vanished. When the weapon reappeared, it had already penetrated the young man's neck. Instantly, the young man's sea of willpower broke apart.
As a Skysoar, the young man had a decently powerful willpower even if he was only a warrior. With the destruction of his sea of willpower, darkness started covering his vision. Before he fully succumbed to eternal darkness, his head dropped to the ground, showing him the sight of a headless body with a saber in hand.
"So weak."
Su Yu curled his lips. Was this really a Skysoar?
The hell?
He had overestimated the Skysoar Realm!
Was he actually this amazing?
Why was he not aware of this before now?
