Chapter 921: Trapped (2)

Meanwhile, Su Yu was feeling greatly troubled by the large number of death spirits surrounding him. He discovered that these death spirits didn't really have any powerful ultimate attacks. They also fought in an extremely simplistic manner.

Basically, their sole method of attack was shooting death qi again and again. But there were too many of them, with a few particularly powerful ones among them. He had exhausted a large amount of heavenly source just to deal with them.

His entire body was shrouded in golden radiance, thanks to his recently received heavenly reward. This was the same golden light he had been asking for. It was very effective in body forging. And he had also received a considerable amount of the golden light this time.

However, he was still feeling very helpless with so many death spirits around him. He wanted to run, but there was no clear way out since death qi was flooding the area. He didn't have his index copy anymore so he couldn't even hire the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion anymore.

He continued running madly with a train of death spirits behind him. At the same time, his physical strength was constantly increasing. He had just completed his seventeenth body forging not long ago, but he could already feel the arrival of the eighteenth body forging. Sure enough, killing was the best way to cultivate.

It honestly wasn't that bad having so many death spirits around him. At the very least, this was enough to prevent his pursuers from approaching him. That thought had barely crossed his mind when someone appeared behind the death spirits. The dark robes around that individual were torn apart, revealing a golden and fancy outfit.

Dao Cheng looked ahead and spoke, "Su Yu, the immortals and humans are allied. I hereby invite you to be a guest at our Immortal Realm again. Are you willing to go?"

"Fuck that!" Su Yu sneered, "What's the point of this act? Your name is Dao Cheng, right? Why are you still playing this game even now? What a hypocrite. Why don't you be straightforward and express your intent to kill me? That way, I might actually find some respect for you."

Dao Cheng said nothing. He took a step into the area covered in death qi. His golden robes started shining, resisting all the death qi around him. A thin layer of heavenly source qi also appeared on the surface of his body to further withstand the death qi.

He casually strode past the death spirits. Thanks to the medallion he was carrying, the death spirits were ignoring him.

Soon, he saw Su Yu.

Su Yu saw him as well.

Dao Cheng. Ninth-stage Cloudbreach.

An existence who had killed a fifth-stage Mountainsea before. Looking at the young appearance of the immortal before him, Su Yu asked doubtfully, "How is your ranking so low? Why are you only ranked ninth in the Earth Index?"

Dao Cheng felt exceptionally dangerous to his senses.

Dao Cheng replied calmly, "I am not proficient in combat. My feat of killing a fifth-stage Mountainsea was merely a coincidence. Luck played a greater role in that. And I'm also quite old. It is only natural that my ranking is lower than people like you."

"Is that so?"

Su Yu smiled, "But you feel even stronger than An Mintian of the divine race. He was sixth in the Earth Index...no, he has fallen to the seventh place. Are you really incomparable to even him?"

An Mintian was a second-stage Mountainsea who had killed a fourth-stage Mountainsea before.

Dao Cheng smiled, "An Mintian? He is indeed younger than me. Furthermore, he is only from the snowfrost divine race instead of the first divine race. If he's a first divine instead, his strength and accomplishment won't be enough to place him in such a high rank."

Su Yu nodded pensively, "I see. So this is yet another criterion used by the index. The stronger someone is and the weaker their race is, the higher that person will rank?"

Abruptly, the hammer transformed into a saber, creating yet another loud rumble as it broke free from Dao Cheng's grip and swung down at him. Fiery flames danced around the descending saber.

With a frown, Dao Cheng produced a layer of frost around his hand and extinguished the flame. Next, a different character appeared as he sent the saber flying with a single palm strike. The collision forced him to take several steps back.

"This is not the strength a first-stage Cloudbreach should have. Your willpower has long surpassed that level. As for your multiple character technique...it doesn't seem quite mature. It is weaker than the character techniques of some other experts from the multiple character faction."

Su Yu said nothing. He continued fleeing toward the inner rings. Every now and then, he would launch some willpower attacks at Dao Cheng. But each time, Dao Cheng emerged victorious.

In terms of willpower, Su Yu was no match for Dao Cheng. Dao Cheng's willpower was simply too powerful. The Soul Expanding Hammer couldn't harm it. Even the character technique could only slightly pressure his willpower instead of overcoming his willpower.

And Dao Cheng was also someone with countless tricks up his sleeve. If it wasn't for the tribulation character, Dao Cheng's space cutting ability would have killed Su Yu several times over by now.

As the pursuit continued, Dao Cheng continued tossing a space cutting ability over every now and then. A relatively weak death spirit happened to be nearby and was instantly cut into two by one of Dao Cheng's space cutting ability. A large amount of death qi burst out of the dead death spirit and flooded the area.

Both Su Yu and Dao Cheng were covered by a large amount of invading death qi. Even Dao Cheng's face was starting to take a darker tinge. He felt more and more helpless. This was a bad place to fight.

Sure enough, eight new death spirits appeared out of nowhere. This time, all of them were focused on him. After all, he was the one who had killed a death spirit. This was extremely troublesome. Nobody enjoyed provoking these death spirits.

At that point, the number of death spirits around them had surpassed thirty. None of these death spirits were particularly powerful, but the death qi had reached a density exceeding what the two of them could handle. Anyone else, even if it was a Mountainsea, would have died by now.

Once again, Su Yu consumed a drop of third-stage Mountainsea blood essence before swinging his saber at Dao Cheng. With a roar, Dao Cheng produced a sword from the character imprinted on his palm. The sword cut through the saber qi and shot straight toward Su Yu.

"Ability blood essence?"

Dao Cheng's eyes shone brightly. Su Yu was truly someone with endless trump cards. More importantly, his body was somehow able to withstand the power of a third-stage Mountainsea. This signified that his accomplishment in physical cultivation was quite high as well.

"Grand cycle acupoints?"

Terrifying indeed. Su Yu did not answer and kept fighting. He might not be Dao Cheng's match, but he wasn't so weak that he would risk dying to Dao Cheng. But abruptly, his expression changed.

He fled without any hesitation, knocking several death spirits in his way. Immediately after, Final Armor appeared out of thin air. With a frown, he said, "He definitely has a powerful detection character or a detection tool..."

He looked at Dao Cheng and asked, "You can't take him down?"

He was quite disappointed to see this result. It had been quite a while since the fight between Dao Cheng and Su Yu started. Without waiting for Dao Cheng to reply, Final Armor vanished again. More death spirits were coming, and he did not intend to kill any of these death spirits. The consequences of that would be way too troublesome.

Looking at the death spirits around him, Dao Cheng sighed, "There are too many death spirits. They kept getting in my way. I need to find an unoccupied building to deal with the death qi in my body. Su Yu has a lot of heavenly source qi on him. Brother Final Armor, keep following him. Force him to waste all his heavenly source qi."

Final Armor said, "I know what to do. Keep in mind that even if my medallion is useless here, you can look for the mayor and borrow his medallion. With his medallion, these Skysoar and Cloudbreach death spirits won't bother us anymore."

As the mayor, Tian He naturally had an ancient city medallion as well. Furthermore, the level of his medallion was very high. With his medallion, these weaker death spirits would even obey his commands unconditionally. That was absolutely terrifying.

Final Armor was starting to lose his patience. That was why he made such a suggestion. Sure, he wouldn't be able to get the medallion from the mayor, but the immortals should be able to get it, right?
