I Have a Golden Crow

The reason the military approved the request of the two wasn’t just because Du Yu’s trio shared the same master, but more importantly because all three were key personnel of the Great Xia Bookstore·Twenty-Ninth Bureau.

In other words, the three of them were comrades-in-arms, all belonging to the Third Department·First Brigade.

Teammates in the same squad, armed with Ancient Spiritual Artifacts all over their bodies, and having gone through countless life-and-death missions together—that was the fundamental reason Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei were allowed to stay.

When it came to ensuring Du Yu’s life and safety, the Demon Spirit Squad was dead serious.

”Long time no see, huh?” Du Yu turned his head to look at the Cold Tree and called out casually.

Li Mengnan clung tightly to Lin Shiwei’s arm. ”What do you mean, huh? At most it’s been an hour or two, right?”

The girl was clearly nervous to death, yet what came out of her mouth sounded like their usual daily bickering.

”Only two hours?” Du Yu weighed the Fire Age Axe in his hand, staring fixedly at the Cold Tree in front of him. ”Then why do I miss you two so much?

Mmn... must be the Demon Spirit Squad’s fault.”

Lin Shiwei felt both heavy-hearted and amused.

The entire battlefield had been dead silent, and yet everyone was listening to you fooling around here...

The soldiers were a bit stunned as well.

Even though they’d just been blamed to their faces by someone, the officers and men didn’t show the slightest anger; instead, they were even more fired up.

In such a grave and perilous atmosphere, with the Cold Tree in front of the youth still shuddering, ready to take his life at any moment!

Du Yu wasn’t just at a life-and-death juncture; he was carrying out a feat of opening up heaven and earth!

Yet he was as Light Clouds and Gentle Wind, tossing out jokes at random.

Far off in the distance, the expressionless Heaven and Earth·Langao couldn’t help but raise her brows slightly, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.

She quietly watched that carefree, high-spirited figure standing before the Cold Tree Root.

Langao seemed to understand why Du Yu could stand out from the countless living beings in Great Xia.

This attitude and state of mind were probably what set him apart from the rest of the world.

Perhaps, this was also the foundation for his future transcendence and Becoming a Saint.

”Void!” Through the Contract, Du Yu shouted sharply in his mind, and swung the Fire Age Axe in his hand viciously at the Cold Tree Root.

”Thud!” The Fire Age Axe still landed first.

”Ssshh!” The Void Axe rushed in right after, its Blade Edge skimming along the ground, sweeping horizontally before Du Yu.

”Wng!!!” The Youhan Tree trembled violently, as if it had gone mad.

On the battlefield above, came the uniform sounds of legs bending slightly and bodies tensing up.

”Crack~” Li Mengnan only felt her palm being squeezed tight, and a crack line split open on her Demon Breath Battle Robe.

At some point, Lin Shiwei had grabbed the girl’s hand and accidentally used too much force.

It had always been Li Mengnan clinging to Shiwei’s arm; for once, Lin Shiwei had a day like this too.

Li Mengnan subconsciously glanced to the side, only to see that pair of burning eyes of Lin Shiwei.

Lin Shiwei’s gaze had never once landed on the Cold Tree, not even though it was a tree that could destroy the world.

Her eyes were fixed on Du Yu the whole time.

Again and again, she observed and admired that figure standing in the very center of the battlefield.

The very center of the Bottomless Battlefield?

Lin Shiwei knew in her heart... it was far more than that!

In this particularly meaningful Bottomless Abyss, the spot where Du Yu stood was the very center of the entire Twin Tree Realm.

”Heh.” Du Yu ignored the trembling Cold Tree, striding away with big steps, heading straight toward the next spot.

The Cold Tree was indeed huge, and the tree stump circumference was long, but the Void Axe was no small thing either.

Moreover, when the Illusory Axe Blade swept horizontally in front of Du Yu, the Spatial Rift it tore open was extremely long.

At this rate, two more swings and this hollow stump would be completely leveled.

Once the stump was flattened, the Bottomless Gate inside would be exposed, and all those Cold Woods spreading from the top of the ten-meter stump would all turn into ordinary trees, easily destroyed.

By then, there would be no more Cold Wood in this Bottomless.

The Bottomless Gate could then be fully covered and sealed under a Spiritual Energy Carpet, operated by the Spirit Masters.

Du Yu was quite certain that the Divine Tree had already arranged Spirit Masters, and they were most likely people from the Divine Wood Pavilion.

Back in the Kunlun Realm, Du Yu had seen countless Black-robed People.

These Guardian Gods of Great Xia had never truly disappeared.

”Void, done resting?” Du Yu quickly reached the western side, asking in his mind.

”At the master’s command.”

”Good. Once this swing is done, there’s only the last one left!” Du Yu sent his thought through his mind and swung up the Fire Age Axe in his hand.

”Wng!”

This time there wasn’t just the sound of the Fire Age Axe chopping the Cold Tree; the axe itself also erupted in crimson flames, exploding outward. ”Chop.”

”Hm?” Du Yu froze for a moment.

He seemed to have received a trace of intent from the Fire Age Axe?

Emperor Grade·Demon Soldiers were naturally rare treasures in this world, with powerful strength.

But to clearly express thoughts—never mind condensing a Soldier’s Soul—at the very least it should be close to the Holy Grade, right?

And this Fire Age Axe has just advanced to Emperor Grade!

This...

Chopping Cold Trees actually has this kind of effect?

After all, the Fire Age Axe has only just become an Emperor; where would it have had the time to cultivate and gather the Soldier’s Soul?

In terms of hard power it’s still far from enough, but the mind has opened up, the will has surged?

Good, strike while the iron is hot!

Du Yu’s feet sprang off the ground in rapid succession, darting about at high speed.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Du Yu gripped the Fire Age Axe and swung it up fiercely.

The last axe, you just give me...

”Buzz!!!”

The Youhan Tree suddenly roared with a thunderous rumble!

”Whoo~”

Eye of Burning Sun· Hunting Moment!

Du Yu’s eyes shone brilliantly, almost to the point of being blinding.

In his vision, a Cold Branch actually pierced through the bark from inside the Cold Tree Stump, thrusting straight for the spot between Du Yu’s brows!

Damn,

Youhan Tree, you’re really vicious as hell!

Just this final axe short, and the entire Cold Tree Stump exposed outside the Bottomless Gate would be uprooted.

And for the sake of this killing blow, you could actually endure for so long!

”Yu...”

An aged female voice came, and in the world of the Eye of Burning Sun, this simple single syllable was dragged out long, so very long.

Directly in front of Du Yu, that viciously treacherous thin Cold Branch was stabbing toward the spot between his brows at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Almost at the same time, Du Yu felt something appear under his foot, already lifting up his right foot.

This should be some kind of Earth Demon Skill.

And this Demon Skill was actually able to get there before the Cold Branch stabbed into Du Yu’s face, slightly propping him up, trying to flip Du Yu away and save his life.

Heaven and Earth·Langao?

Yes, it could only be her!

It’s just that... does Du Yu need anyone to save him?

Back at the Ancient Pine Tower South Suburb Bottomless, Du Yu had been lashed hard by a Cold Branch. Even with the Eye of Burning Sun open he’d been helpless, only able to watch in despair as the Cold Branch crept closer inch by inch and whipped down on his body.

But this time is different.

This time, he has the Supreme Celestial Cyan Porcelain!

”Snap!”

”Snap!” The flow of the world returned to normal.

A rapid series of cracking splashes of water droplets rang out, accompanied by the collective sharp intake of breath from the crowd, echoing together at the Bottomless Pit.

They saw Du Yu’s forehead directly shatter into a spray of water droplets, letting that fine Youhan branch pierce through as it pleased!

And along Du Yu’s right foot, right leg, mid-waist, and left shoulder, that diagonal line turned into a slanting path of water beads.

A Mud Hand had just sliced Du Yu diagonally into two halves!

Clearly, that Mud Hand had wanted to toss Du Yu away, but instead had hooked out a trail of water droplets.

The problem was, all of Du Yu’s other body parts were still completely intact!

His eyes were still locked on the Cold Wood, his right hand still clenched around the blazing Fire Age Axe.

Such a scene was bizarre to the extreme,

and unspeakably tragic and beautiful...

Hulu Yu’s eyes bulged wide: !!!

Under its protection, Du Yu had suffered such a vicious, insidious killing strike!

This was simply intolerable!

Hulu Yu exploded completely, pouring all its strength into driving its ability, forcibly holding the Cold Wood in place.

The thin Cold Branch was naturally frozen where it was as well.

Du Yu shifted sideways a step; the water droplets at his forehead shattered along the way to his temple, and only then did his skull finish piecing itself back together.

He tightened his grip on the Fire Age Axe, eyes viciously fixed on the Cold Wood before him, and shouted loudly: ”Thank you, Senior, for the rescue.”

In Langao’s deep eyes, a faint ghostly light flickered as she looked at the back of that youth whose strength was unfathomable yet whose attitude was humble.

Rarely, she took the initiative to ask, ”How should I address you, little friend?”

Why does that line sound kind of familiar?

Du Yu suddenly swung out the final axe, casting down a blazing crescent of fire:

”Great Xia· Twin!”
