Chapter 567: Southbound (3)

High in the sky, the dao protectors were also conversing with each other through voice transmissions.

"This Su Yu is very murderous. Sure enough, the multiple character faction is filled with psychopaths."

Those bandits had been killed in the blink of an eye. Su Yu was definitely aware that these weren't cultists, yet he had shown no mercy. As bandits, these people wouldn't even be executed upon capture.

A different dao protector said, "So be it. A genius would not be able to grow without tasting blood. But this kid is indeed a tad bit too murderous. Didn't he say that he would let the others deal with those below the Skysoar Realm?"

Nobody said anything. Su Yu had probably fought personally because he believed that the others might spare the attackers. Thus, he had decided to deal with the attackers himself and kill them all to save time.

Suddenly, one of them asked, "Why are all the beasts in the wilderness so aggressive recently?"

Not far away, ashy fog could be seen rising into the sky. A group of beasts were charging toward Su Yu's group, looking like they had been provoked by something.

Looking at the incoming beasts, Su Yu's eyes flickered. When he gazed at the students behind him, Zhou Hao said, "These are ash rhinoceroses. Their strength generally varies between the Great Strength Realm and the Skysoar Realm. This is one of the stronger beasts you can encounter in the wilderness. In fact, they are quite common. For some reason, this group has been provoked..."

He cautiously said, "Someone must have ruined their lair in secret. Be careful."

At least seventy or eighty ash rhinoceroses were charing in their direction. These beasts were massive, and they looked rather strong. The leader of the group was a Skysoar beast. In the wilderness, a group like this could be considered quite strong. After all, this was the Human Realm. Thus, Skysoar beasts were very rare. Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

With a smile, Su Yu tapped at the suanni's torso and said, "Charge."

The suanni charged forward unhesitatingly. The saber in Su Yu's hand started shining. In the blink of an eye, Su Yu arrived in front of the beasts. The leader roared and rammed its head in Su Yu's direction with bloodshot eyes the moment it saw Su Yu.

"Die!"

With a flash, the saber cleaved forth and separated the massive head of the beast from its body. Next, Su Yu soared into the sky and stabbed his saber into a different beast. A loud pop sounded.

The beast burst apart, allowing a small silhouette within its body to shoot toward Su Yu with a pair of daggers.

With a cold snort, Su Yu utilized the Suppressing Sunmoon move. That was the second move of the Time technique. He was able to activate it instantly, stomping the attacker right into the ground. With a rumble, the ground solidified while the small silhouette burst apart.

That was an assassin. This assassin was decent at concealment, but he was too impatient. He had sent his senses over to spy on Su Yu, allowing Su Yu to detect him immediately. Just like that, a fifth-stage Skysoar assassin that had killed even a seventh-stage Skysoar before was killed.

With a wave of his hand, a dagger and a merit card flew into Su Yu's hand. With a smile, Su Yu sent his saber into the sky. Then, lightning bolts rained down on the beasts, instantly killing a large number of them.

Only then did the other students arrive. They started engaging the beasts in battle. But a few of them were constantly looking at Su Yu in shock.

Su Yu smiled. This might be a good thing for him. As a cultivator, was he supposed to reach the Invincible Realm through meditation alone? No, slaughter was required as well. Slowly, the blood around them vanished.

Su Yu was allowing the blood character to absorb all the blood around them. If his blood character could reach the third tier, it would also benefit him even if it would put more pressure on his sea of willpower. At the third tier, the blood character could probably fool even Cloudbreach cultivators with its illusions.

After the battle, everyone stopped moving. They were tired. Every single one of them was gasping for breath.

However, some of them had actually slacked during the fight. For example, Ji Xiaomeng. She had spent the entire fight facing only a single beast. Even after the fight, she had spent a long time crouched beside the beast's corpse to study it.

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to say anything. He would be happy as long as she didn't create trouble for him.

The panting and blood-soaked Zhou Hao said, "We aren't even that far from the capital yet. If this continues, we will probably take several days to reach Nanyuan."

The battle had been tiring. They needed some time to recover as well.

Su Yu smiled, "It's fine. We are supposed to be killing beasts for this mission anyway. The more we kill, the better the reward would be."

Seeing that Su Yu himself was in no rush, Zhou Hao said nothing else. He sat down cross-legged and started recovering his strength through meditation. The others did the same. Su Yu was the only exception as the short fight was not enough to exhaust him.

High in the sky, someone said through a voice transmission, "This kid sure is impressive. He killed a fifth-stage Skysoar like he was killing a chicken. Is he really a Mental Tempering student?"

No, right? They felt like Su Yu would need less effort to kill a Skysoar than they would need to kill a Great Strength cultivator. Of course, a large part of Su Yu's combat strength came from his cultivation at the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

He was also at the peak of the Mental Tempering Stage. And he had opened over 300 acupoints. Even his cultivation method was a top-tier heaven-grade method. And he also had a heaven-grade martial technique. One could say that he was already standing at the very peak of his peers.

"Old horse, why don't you go ahead of us and scout the path? That fifth-stage Skysoar assassin was almost able to hide from me. It's better for us to start scouting ahead..."

"Me? What if something happened to my prince during my absence?"

"Don't worry. There are so many Mountainseas here. We won't neglect him."

"Fine. I'll go..."

Su Yu was unaware of the conversation between the Mountainseas. But he wasn't bothered about them either. His hope did not lay on these dao protectors. If his guesses were right, these dao protectors would probably start splitting up before long. That was understandable.

Standing there, Su Yu waited as the others rested. Meanwhile, the suanni was stealing glances at Su Yu as his heart thumped madly. He had witnessed something incredible today. Were Skysoars so easy to kill?

No wonder this fellow had talked about killing him so many times. This human was a monster.
