Chapter 900: Kill A Mountainsea For Fun (3)
Inside the city, the Mountainsea of the mystic armor race stared at the newcomer for a long while before asking, "Zheng Ping?"
Zheng Ping laughed heartily, "Yes, it's me. Do you remember me?"
He looked around and asked doubtfully, "Is Su Yu here? Which Su Yu are you talking about? I only know about Cui Lang and Huang Teng. Isn't Su Yu still in the Human Realm?"
He looked at the mystic armors again and laughed, "Come out here and have some fun. Show me what you're going to do about the deaths of your people. How dare pieces of trash like you run your mouth against us humans? You sure are getting gutsy."
Zheng Ping roared with laughter, standing with one foot on the corpse of a mystic armor Sunmoon. At the moment, he seemed more like a thug than a principal.
He was putting so much force on his feet that even the ground under him was cracking. With a sneer, he spoke loudly, "Little Bastards, looks like you guys need to receive a little lesson if you're going to learn that the human race is not afraid of you. Mystic armor race? Do you think you're a very big deal? Mystic Armor King should continue hiding back home. Heavenly Forging King has been waiting for him for over a hundred years. He can try coming out if he wants, but I reckon he will be turned into weaponsmithing material the moment he steps out."
Nobody said anything. This was a human Sunmoon. He was acting oppressively in an absolutely unrestrained manner.
After giving the mystic armor corpse another look, Zheng Ping laughed, "How hard. I'll take this thing back and get someone to forge me something nice. This is some quality forging material."
He then picked up the armor from the ground.
Done with that, he glanced at the people staring at him from inside the city and grinned, "Little bastards, in the future, remember to watch your mouth in front of people from Great Xia. Have you forgotten our blade after only a few years of peace? You there..."
He pointed at the Mountainsea who had charged Su Yu an entrance fee earlier and said, "Stop acting up in front of humans. Have you forgotten that one time when the Martial Dragon Guard killed its way right to the front steps of your Heavendoom City? With a single swing of our prefect's blade, your mayor started crying for his mother."
With a cold snort, Zheng Ping looked in the direction of the towering mayor's residence and roared, "Great Xia is still around! We can still fight! If you want to start stepping all over us, wait until Great Xia no longer exists. As long as we are still around, you guys will remain trampled under us. These are my words. What can you do about it?"
Remain trampled under them.
He was being extremely rude, but nobody in the city dared to even make a noise.
He sneered and continued, "Don't get too cocky just because you have this ancient city to act as your shell. Don't forget that the city does not belong to you. You all are nothing but a bunch of puppets. Do you want to see the Martial Dragon Guard surround the city? You will either have to stay in the city forever or come out and die."
His killing intent soared as he said those words. It wasn't like there were no Sunmoons in the city. But even those with higher cultivation levels than Zheng Ping did not dare to say anything.
Martial Dragon Guard. One of the most murderous armies to have graced the Allheaven Battlefield. Under Xia Longwu's leadership, they once killed their way out of the Eastrift Valley and through the Plain of Desires to reach this city.
The army remained outside the city while Xia Longwu entered alone. Three days later, he left and brought the army back. At the time, the mayor nearly perished under Xia Longwu's blade. It took Xia Longwu only one slash. More than ten years had passed, but many people still remember that incident.
Now, Great Xia had stopped their endless wars in the Allheaven Battlefield. But nobody could forget the rivers of blood spilled by the Martial Dragon Guard back then. Xia Longwu, someone with an Invincible even before becoming an Invincible. The Carnage King.
The Mountainsea commander of the city said nothing even when Zheng Ping was scolding him right in front of him. In truth, he wasn't really afraid of Zheng Ping. But not even the residents of ancient cities could stay inside their cities forever. There was no need for him to provoke a lunatic from Great Xia.
Suddenly, Su Yu appeared and looked at Zheng Ping with stupefaction.
Holy shit!
Wasn't this Zheng Ping? Had he always been this domineering? Why did he look so pitiful in Great Xia? He had been bullied by Wan Tiansheng for many years. Su Yu also heard that people like General Zhao, Administrator Hu, Director Ji Hong, and Marquis Xia had been bullying him for many years as well...
Basically, he would be made scapegoat for most scandals. Marquis Xia would only be the scapegoat for scandals that were too big for Zheng Ping to bear. One could say that Marquis Xia and Zheng Ping were professional scapegoats.
Zheng Ping. Principal of the Great Xia War Academy.
Su Yu had seen Zheng Ping before. Back then, he only felt that Principal Zheng was a pitiful old man. After all, Great Xia was supposed to be a prefecture of warriors, but for some reason, its cultural academy was way more famous than its war academy.
That was most likely due to Ye Batian. He alone was enough to overshadow everything. But today, in the Allheaven Battlefield, and in front of a mysterious ancient city, this person had displayed overwhelming dominance. Even when he was carrying heavy injuries on his body.
Su Yu could sense that. In fact, a lot of people sensed that. This human had killed a Sunmoon from the mystic armor race. That was a terrifying feat. When he stood in front of the city and scolded them, nobody dared to say anything.
Even the mayor, a ninth-stage Sunmoon, was not doing anything. It was unknown if he simply wasn't aware or he simply didn't care.
"Are you coming with me?"
When he noted that Su Yu wasn't very keen on leaving, he sent a voice transmission, "Don't enter the ancient city. These ancient cities are very complicated. The prefect entered once, but he left with heavy injuries. That was why he had to retreat after entering the city. Back then, the boundlessly confident prefect wanted to flip the city upside down and slaughter his way to the Sea of Stars. But instead, his campaign was stopped by a single ancient city. He had no choice but to pull back behind the Eastrift Valley."
Xia Longwu!
Domineering.
That was the only word Su Yu had for Xia Longwu. That was truly a domineering person.
He had killed his way from the Eastrift Valley to this place. He even wanted to kill his way through the ancient city and enter the Sea of Stars, a territory dominated by the demonic beasts. Not even the word ruthless was enough to describe him as a person.
One would never understand the fear the myriad races had over Xia Longwu's dao affirmation without entering the Allheaven Battlefield. Even before his dao affirmation, Xia Longwu was already courageous enough to attack an ancient city. What would he do after his dao affirmation?
Perhaps he would really turn the ancient city upside down and kill his way to the core territory of the demonic beasts. What a crazy man.
Without coming to the Allheaven Battlefield, one wouldn't know that Principal Zheng, the eternally bullied existence in Great Xia, was actually such a domineering individual. What about those bullies in Great Xia? Would they be just as domineering out here?
What about General Zhao? And Administrator Hu? Were those people capable of dominating this place as well?
Su Yu replied with a voice transmission as well, "I understand. Thanks, Grandpa Zheng. I have my plans. Just go help Huang Teng and Wu Qi first. They're so weak. They nearly got themselves killed by Tianduo..."
"..."
Zheng Ping had an odd look in his eyes. He had the sudden urge to wrap his fingers around the brat's neck.
Su Yu smiled and turned into a gust of wind, vanishing yet again. Why should he leave? It hadn't been easy for him to leave the Human Realm. He was already right outside the ancient city. Why should he leave without entering? But there was a need for him to enter with a disguise.
He was way too conspicuous now. As for whether he would attempt to enter through the main gate, that remained to be seen. He wasn't sure if he could make it through. After all, even Mo Duona had struggled with it. In any case, leaving with Zheng Ping wasn't one of his plans.
When Zheng Ping saw Su Yu vanishing, he spread his senses around before grumbling that the brat sure was fast. The brat seemed to have a lot of trump cards. There was no need for him to worry too much.
"Cui Lang, Su Yu..."
He finally understood the meaning of Marquis Xia's words. If he saw Cui Lang, he should offer his help if it wasn't too much trouble. If he couldn't help, so be it. That brat wouldn't die so easily.
So the brat was actually Su Yu. Did the marquis know this long ago? How terrifying. The brat was already strong enough to kill a Mountainsea. Zheng Ping had a sullen expression. That grandson of his had fallen too far behind.
Whatever. He tossed the matter to the back of his mind and headed to the right of the city. His current priority was Huang Teng and Wu Qi. Those were the actual members of Great Xia while this brat had already joined Great Ming. In any case, the brat had way too many trump cards. Zheng Ping even suspected that the brat would still be alive and well even after his death.
After Zheng Ping left, the people in the city finally dared to speak.
One of the Mountainseas sighed and said, "Great Xia...Martial Dragon Guard...a bunch of butchers. How fortunate."
He did not further elaborate. But everyone knew what he meant. Fortunately, Great Xia was too poor to fight more wars. Fortunately, Xia Longwu was on the verge of dao affirmation, catching the attention of the myriad races.
Otherwise, that butcher would probably muster his army and butcher his way to the ancient city yet again after learning about the attacks on the human geniuses. Instead, only Zheng Ping was here.
Everyone started dispersing. It was time to move on or more lives would be lost. So many people had died suddenly today. The mystic armor race sure was unlucky. Even their Sunmoon was killed by one of the mad butchers. It was indeed a bad idea to provoke those mad butchers. A Sunmoon was a big deal everywhere, but someone like that had been killed so easily.
As for Mo Duona's arrival and Su Yu's departure, they decided to stop making further comments about them. These super geniuses wouldn't die so easily. And if they did anything wrong, they could end up dead in the hands of these super geniuses instead.
It would be wise for ordinary people like them to stay out of the conflict between the young geniuses.
At the same time.
Su Yu was racking his brain for a new disguise. Should he enter through the main gate? He really wanted to experience the ancient city for himself.
It would be too regretful to not experience an ancient city after entering the Allheaven Battlefield. Mo Duona was right. Compared to killing, these ancient cities were a lot more interesting.
