Supreme Warrior in the City

Although Qi’er said this, Su Yang couldn’t be at ease.

As for the gap above, Su Yang didn’t know what exactly was going on inside. However, the Great City Lord had already said that the strongest force within was in that gap.

Moreover, standing beneath this giant tree, Su Yang could clearly feel an immensely powerful pressure preventing him from flying. In other words, he could only climb the tree this way.

However, that masked man had to climb the tree as well.

This indicated one thing: the masked man was also suppressed by this pressure and could not fly, so he had to climb the tree.

Su Yang didn’t know how strong the masked man truly was. But without a doubt, the masked man’s strength was far greater than Su Yang’s.

Logically, the pressure Su Yang endured shouldn’t affect the masked man. However, the fact that the masked man couldn’t fly clearly pointed out another issue.

Under this giant tree, the pressure each person endured was related to their own strengths. The stronger they were, the greater the pressure they had to bear. The weaker they were, the lesser the pressure they experienced. It just made sure you couldn’t fly but wouldn’t crush you underfoot.

Faced with such a situation, such a giant tree, and such immense power, Su Yang couldn’t imagine how strong the force within the tree’s gap must be.

Qi’er, with her current strength, being brought to that place... even if she could open that gap, who knows what dangers would await once inside?

”Hey!” Su Yang shouted loudly, ”Masked man, put Qi’er down, I can also open the gap, let me help you open it!”

The masked man stopped and turned his head to glance at Su Yang. Although the distance was great, Su Yang could see the disdain and mockery in the masked man’s eyes, as if he was mocking Su Yang for lying.

”I’m telling the truth!” Su Yang shouted, ”If you don’t believe me, wait a moment, I’ll come up to help you. Besides, carrying Qi’er up the tree must be exhausting, I can climb myself, which will save you a lot of trouble?”

This time, the masked man didn’t even look at Su Yang, turned straight around, and continued climbing up.

Out of extreme anger, Su Yang shouted a few more times, but the masked man completely ignored him.

Left with no option, Su Yang could only climb the tree as well. There was no other way, Qi’er had already reached the top, he had to go and rescue Qi’er.

After climbing for a bit, Su Yang suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from behind.

Turning his head to look, Su Yang was stunned.

The three Crystal Skulls that accompanied him were now under the tree. And underneath the tree, several vines had somehow stretched out, firmly tying the three of them to the tree. The most crucial part was that there was a thorny vine vigorously lashing them.

The three, with their mouths covered, could only produce muffled sounds, unable to let out any real screams, looking extremely miserable.

Seeing Su Yang turn around, the three continuously signaled to him, motioning for him to come down and save them.

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, but right at that moment, several vines rose directly beside him, staring straight at him. From their posture, if he dared to go down and save them, these vines would immediately deal with him too.

Su Yang immediately chickened out, turning his head and climbing upwards without even glancing at those three.

”Better him than me,” Su Yang understood this principle well.

Besides, those three deserved to be dealt with.

Once inside, they acted like big shots, soaking in the Spiritual Liquid stream was one thing, but bathing in the Spiritual Liquid Lake? Why not fly up to the sky and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun?

Su Yang wouldn’t dare mess with those three fools. Once these vines identified him as connected to them, wouldn’t he end up tied to the tree and whipped too?

The thorny vine lashing the three might not matter much since they didn’t have flesh. Thorns on bones wouldn’t hurt that much. However, Su Yang had a flesh body, and the whipping effect would be entirely different on him.

”Mmmm...,” the three tried desperately to call for help, but Su Yang was determined to continue climbing upwards.

Anyway, Su Yang had realized, these vines weren’t going to kill those three. They were merely punishing them. Those three needed a good lesson, lest they truly think that being bald would let them run wild!

Not long after, Ye Xingjun arrived as well. He too was suppressed by the pressure, unable to fly, and had to climb the tree alongside Su Yang reluctantly.

Yet, after climbing for a while, Ye Xingjun suddenly stretched out his wings, flapped them, and managed to fly.

Though he couldn’t fly very high each time, coupled with his hands and feet climbing the tree, his speed was much faster.

Soon, Ye Xingjun overtook Su Yang. As he passed by Su Yang, Ye Xingjun burst into laughter, ”Hahaha, Su Alliance Leader, I’ll go ahead a step. Now you understand why the heritage of the Feather Spirit Palace belonged to our Feather Clan, right?”

Su Yang was startled. He hadn’t expected the Feather Clan to have such an advantage here. Watching Ye Xingjun’s speed, Su Yang felt immensely vexed; under these conditions, he could definitely catch up to the masked man.

After a moment of silence, Su Yang suddenly said, ”Ye Xingjun, be careful, there’s danger above!”

”Danger?” Ye Xingjun was taken aback, immediately halting and looking above in astonishment, ”Are you trying to trick me? He’s climbed so high, what danger could there be?”

”Hmph, his strength is countless times greater than ours combined, yet he crawled up like this. Do you think it’s without reason?” Su Yang said coldly, ”If there’s no danger, wouldn’t he have flown up himself?”

Ye Xingjun paused for a moment; this was something he hadn’t considered. Su Yang’s words left him somewhat astounded; could there truly be danger in flying up?

While Ye Xingjun hesitated, Su Yang used all four limbs, accelerating and gradually closing the distance to Ye Xingjun.

When only a few meters away, Su Yang suddenly leaped forward, lunging directly at Ye Xingjun.

”What are you doing?” Ye Xingjun exclaimed in shock; he hadn’t expected Su Yang to attack him at this moment.

Su Yang clung tightly to Ye Xingjun’s arm, laughing, ”Nothing, just hitching a ride; now we can go!”

”Huh?” Ye Xingjun was stunned, wondering what Su Yang meant by this.

”Nothing, fly ahead, there won’t be any danger,” Su Yang laughed.

Ye Xingjun finally realized what was going on; Su Yang’s words were merely to scare him, just to make him stop so Su Yang could approach him.
