Chapter 942: Your Brows Are Furrowed (3)

The look in Su Yu's eyes changed when he noticed that. Tian He indifferently said, "Since you have the courage to kill death spirits and have the ability to live until now, this little bit of death qi is probably not an issue for you. Give it a try. It's pretty good. This is the most popular liquor of the death spirit race, known as the Death Fluid. It was brewed from corpse water and ten-thousand-year-old corpses..."

Su Yu sank into silence.

Tian He coldly said, "You have the courage to unleash slaughter in an ancient city. Are you afraid of something like this?"

Su Yu said nothing and drained the glass of wine in one gulp. Death qi started corroding his organs. But shortly after, a pure burst of life force erupted within his body, instantly healing his corroded organs.

He raised his head to look at the mayor in surprise. The mayor said, "Life and death. Only a thin line separates the two. Death leads toward life. At the very end of death is life."

Su Yu couldn't quite understand that statement. He solemnly said, "This student is ignorant and fails to understand the profundity behind those words."

Tian He smiled, "Profundity? No, there is nothing profound about that. I am merely speaking from my own experience. You are very brazen. You even dare to drink the Death Fluid. Very few people have the courage to drink it."

"Ignorance breeds courage."

Su Yu gave a short reply.

Tian He smiled, "No. It's not ignorance. It's fearlessness. You are confident. You are certain that a mere glass of Death Fluid is not enough to take your life."

Tian He asked another question, "Why did you enter the Allheaven Battlefield?"

"Strengthen myself."

"What comes after?"

"Protect myself."

"Only that?"

"Only that."

Su Yu looked down and asked, "Why else would I need strength?"

"Have you never thought of activating the suppressive force of the Human Realm or conquering all realms in existence?"

"Not interested." Su Yu spoke with a completely tranquil tone, "My enemies will be killed. Those trying to step on me will be killed. Race and creed do not matter."

"That's not a good thought to have." Tian He laughed, "If that's how you think, you will have a lot of enemies."

"I will simply kill...until I can't kill anymore."

"What a murderous young man." Tian He said, "In recent years, the most murderous human to have emerged is Xia Longwu. Prior to him, it was Ye Batian. And even earlier than that, it was Great Qin King. Ye Batian is dead. As for Xia Longwu...his dao affirmation will be extremely challenging. Are you trying to walk the same path as those people?"

With his head still lowered, Su Yu said, "I don't walk anyone's path. I am who I am. If I want to kill, I kill. If I don't want to kill, nobody can make me do it. If anyone tries to make me do it, I'll kill that person. I am murderous not because I want to kill. Instead, I am murderous to protect myself from being killed."

"If I refuse to open the gates for you, will you kill me after you grow stronger?"

Su Yu's head was still lowered as he answered, "No. You misunderstand me, Lord Mayor."

Tian He laughed.

"You don't mean those words." Tian He said, "You will. If I refuse to let you go and you manage to survive, you will take your revenge against me after growing stronger."

"I won't."

"You will."

His killing intent further intensified. Even the old man beside him shivered from the killing intent. How murderous. This human genius was indeed very different than the other humans he had seen.

This was a decisive, and terrifying person.

The moment he realized that his current plan wouldn't work, he left without any hesitation. The moment he stepped out of the mayor's residence, a new round of slaughter would probably begin.

What a ruthless individual. Even back when Xia Longwu was this young, he was not as murderous. Just how many people had Su Yu killed to build such an intense killing intent?

Su Yu had indeed killed a lot of people. If the death spirits were considered people as well, he had basically killed more than a thousand people in a short amount of time.

Young geniuses, demonic beasts, single character faction members, divines, devils...he did not discriminate when killing.

Seeing that Su Yu was about to leave, Tian He laughed and said, "What's the rush? I can't open the gates for you, but it's not like there is no alternative for you. There is an inner hall in the mayor's residence. You can try your luck there. If you're lucky enough, you might find a solution to your current predicament. If you're not lucky enough to find something like that, feel free to do what you need to do. I won't interfere."

This was an interesting brat. Also a troublesome brat. Perhaps, only that person could deal with this brat. As for whether that person would be willing to help or not, that was out of his control.

Su Yu was surprised. He turned and respectfully said, "Thank you for the guidance, Mayor."

Heavenly Hunt Pavilion!

According to the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, there was an opportunity to be found in the mayor's residence. And that so-called opportunity was located in the inner hall.

He had not encountered any of the ancient building opportunities. He did manage to get his hands on some ancient city medallions. But there was a third opportunity to be found in an ancient city: the mayor's residence.

He had not expected that he would get the chance to search for the opportunity within the mayor's residence.

"Tian Men, show him the way."

"Yes!"

Tian Men was quite surprised as well. The inner hall had always been a forbidden zone.

After Su Yu and Tian Men left, the old man spoke through voice transmission, "Lord, why did you send him there? Is this...appropriate?"

While sipping on wine, Tian He smiled, "It's fine. There is no hiding anything in the city from him. This is not a small headache, so it's better to let him deal with it. I'm not an Invincible so this is out of my depth. Since I can't kill or help him, I might as well do him this tiny favor. Regardless of the result, a favor will still be a favor."

The old man did not say anything else. He naturally didn't want to attract the attention of the existence in the inner hall.

That statue was a taboo in the city. But he still couldn't understand the mayor's reasoning for reaching that decision.

Once again, Tian He picked up the cultivation manual and sighed. What a pity. This was an excellent cultivation method, but it wasn't suitable for him. The death qi in his body was getting thicker and thicker.

Could Xia Longwu really cut the death qi away?

A self-mocking smile formed on his face. Perhaps this was merely a beautiful dream on his part.

***

In the inner hall, the stone statue opened his eyes and looked at Su Yu and Tian Men who were heading his way.

Then, his gaze landed on Tian He. What an expert at shirking responsibility. That damn fellow had a habit of throwing all sorts of troubles his way. What even was the point of having the fake mayor around if he was going to do that?

The stone statue grumbled that he had already turned into stone. Why did he still need to deal with all these troubles?

A short while later, Su Yu stepped into the inner hall. The stone statue had already shut his eyes. He decided to pretend Su Yu wasn't there. He really didn't feel like doing anything.

Tian Men had also entered the inner hall. His gaze landed on the stone statue, but he was completely unsurprised. This stone statue could not be damaged or moved. It had existed since time immemorial and had never caused them any trouble. But why...did it look like the stone statue's brows were furrowed today? Was he seeing things?
