Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 925: Su Yu’s Trump Card (3)

After a short silence, Flame Armor said, “Maybe…I should just convert into a resident. Black Armor is dead. We don’t have any Mountainsea residents in the city anymore. With my cultivation level, I might even be able to take control of several death spirits after my conversion. That way, I can try to break into that building with the death spirits under my control.”

“…”

Final Armor sank into silence.

Conversion? Conversion would bound him to this city for life. But there was also a need for the conversion. The mystic armor race had lost a lot of their experts here. They still had some residents left, but the strongest among them was only a Cloudbreach. All their Mountainseas had died off.

They had suffered disastrous losses just to take down Su Yu. Final Armor sighed and said nothing.

Flame Armor knew that Final Armor had agreed. He said nothing and took a jade talisman out. After dripping a drop of fiery red blood on it, he tossed the talisman out. Instantly, one additional death spirit appeared.

After collecting the talisman, the death spirit started drawing on the signboard outside the building, completely ignoring the people inside. A short while later, the death spirit left. The conversion began.

After three days, Flame Armor would officially become a resident. At the time, the death qi in the city would no longer affect him too much. Even the death spirits would leave him alone so long as he didn’t provoke them.

Dao Cheng and Jiu Xuan watched on in silence. Generally, one would only convert into a resident if they were out of options. This mystic armor was quite a decisive one.

Jiu Xuan asked, “Are we going to wait like this? We don’t even know how long Su Yu will remain inside. Before long, we’ll need to leave to remove the death qi on us. We have to wait at least one day before we can return. If he decides to leave during that time, we will lose track of him again.”

Final Armor coldly said, “Very few people have eighteenth ring medallions. Apart from the mayor, a few Sunmoons are probably in possession of these medallions as well. If you don’t wish to wait, you need to go looking for these people to borrow their medallions. But it is unlikely that they will be willing to lend their medallions since it involves killing a human genius.”

After a short pause, he continued, “But apart from these people, a certain individual might have one such medallion as well. Mo Duona.”

Jiu Xuan said, “The humans are enemies with the divines and devils. Since Mo Duona is here, why has he not attacked Su Yu?”

She had been in doubt about that. What was Mo Duona thinking? With his strength, talent, and background, he definitely had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. With his participation, Su Yu might already be dead.

Dao Cheng sighed, “Mo Duona is raising a worthy opponent. Su Yu is not strong enough. Mo Duona is too proud. Unless Su Yu is strong enough to kill a seventh-stage Mountainsea, it is highly unlikely for Mo Duona to interfere.”

That was the confidence of Mo Duona. He was not worried about the growth of potential rivals. When Su Yu reached the point where he could kill seventh-stage Mountainseas, Mo Duona would act even without any invitation.

“Fool.”

Jiu Xuan cursed. What an idiotic choice. Why wait until a potential grew strong before killing them? What if the rival grew too strong to be killed? What if he himself ended up defeated? Would he be happy then?

She was still quite young. And she hadn’t been in the Allheaven Battlefield for long. She had participated in some battles before, but this was her first time participating in something so intense. Even Mountainseas had perished.

This was also her first time facing the geniuses of other major races. In the past, she had only encountered the geniuses of the minor races. Suddenly, several individuals appeared on the street. These were not death spirits. They were the experts of a different race.

Not far away, Long Zhan of the celestial dragon race had also appeared. When he noticed the immortals in the building with the door wide open, he smiled. Under the dark night, he looked exceptionally conspicuous in his white robes. He said nothing and entered a random unoccupied building. Like the immortals, he left his door wide open as well. He was here to enjoy the show.

An Mintian, Tianduo, and some other people had arrived as well. Instead of entering the eighteenth ring, they stayed in the twentieth ring. Each party entered a random unoccupied building. They left their doors open as well. Basically, each party had found a building offering them a clear view of Su Yu’s building.

These geniuses had been heading in this direction after departing the Skyrend Valley. But instead of this city, they had gone to the city Qin Fang was in. But things had been silent there, so they all decided to come here.

At that moment, an individual clad in black armor and mounted atop a fierce tiger entered the city. He hovered in the dark sky and flew straight toward the eighteenth ring.

The moment he laid eyes on Final Armor, he roared from afar, “Audacious. Is the mystic armor race trying to get exterminated? Final Armor, I heard you have been capturing the humans here. How brazen.”

Instead of attacking, Final Armor spoke solemnly, “Su Yu killed two of our geniuses. It is only natural for us to avenge our geniuses. The human race might be powerful, but we did not deploy any Sunmoons for this. Is this not fair enough for the human race? Is the human race really going to interfere? If you’re going to babysit all your geniuses like this, you might as well withdraw all your geniuses from the Allheaven Battlefield.”

Qin Fang thought about those words and nodded, “You make a lot of sense.”

He landed on the roof of a random building and laughed. Looking at Dao Cheng and Jiu Xuan, he said, “What a familiar smell. Are there some immortals here? Is that Dao Cheng? Oh, and Jiu Xuan? Last year, I killed a little fairy. She was a third-stage Cloudbreach. I think she was related to the two of you. Am I right?”

Dao Cheng looked at him and coldly said, “That is a younger sister from my clan. Qin Fang, since the deed has been done, so be it. Why are you speaking about it openly? Are you not afraid of courting unnecessary trouble for yourself?”

“Trouble?” Qin Fang said, “Dao Cheng and Jiu Xuan. The humans and immortals are allies yet the two of you are openly trying to kill Su Yu. Why worry about the so-called trouble anymore? Do you want to kill me as well? I’m right here.”

Dao Cheng said, “No one is trying to kill Su Yu. I’m merely trying to invite him to the Immortal Realm. He will be accorded the treatment of a guest. Every genius of the multiple character faction needs to visit the realm of a different race as a guest. That has always been the rule…”

“Rule my ass. Who made that a rule? You?”

Dao Cheng replied, “Not me. It was decided by some Invincibles from multiple races. Since Su Yu has left the Human Realm, it is only natural that we have to invite him over as a guest. Qin Fang, are you going to stand in our way?”

“Me?” Qin Fang smiled, “I’m not capable enough. I’m a mere sixth-stage Cloudbreach. I’m not even comparable to you. What can I even do here? I only wish to remind you that the alliance still stands. Do not make a fool of ourselves in front of the divines and devils”

Dao Cheng proceeded to ignore Qin Fang. There was nothing he could say. He was still unsure about Qin Fang’s actual strength. Perhaps Qin Fang was already a seventh-stage Cloudbreach.

At that level, not even Dao Cheng was confident he could defeat Qin Fang. After all, this was someone who had killed a third-stage Mountainsea before. A long time had passed since then.

Final Armor sent Dao Cheng a voice transmission, “What should we do now that Qin Fang is here?”

A human expert had arrived. Qin Fang might not seem too impressive, but he used to be in the Heaven Index. At the moment, he reigned at the very top of the Earth Index. Final Armor wasn’t exactly worried about being defeated by Qin Fang, but there was a big difference between Qin Fang and Su Yu.

Qin Fang was a descendant of Great Qin King. He was the son of Qin Zheng and the grandson of Qin Guang.

Strictly speaking, he had a very high status. Killing the grandson of Great Qin King might even provoke the retaliation of Great Qin King. That was a terrifying thought. As for Su Yu, he might be a human as well, but life had always been difficult for the multiple character faction in the Allheaven Battlefield.

And no Invincible had openly expressed their support for Su Yu. Thus, killing Su Yu was very different from killing Qin Fang. Unless one had a background similar to Mo Duona’s, killing Qin Fang was the same as suicide.

“Ignore him.”

Dao Cheng was not afraid of Qin Fang. Even if Qin Fang was already a seventh-stage Cloudbreach, he could still put up a fight against Qin Fang even if he wouldn’t be able to kill Qin Fang. He only hoped that the myriad race experts would be able to stop more human experts from arriving. Otherwise, they would no longer be able to kill Su Yu.

After standing alone under the dark sky and enjoying the baptism of death qi for a bit, the ignored Qin Fang shrugged and entered a random unoccupied building as well. Like all the others, he left his door open to allow for a clear view of the area.

Inwardly, he felt extremely helpless. There really wasn’t anything much he could do here. He was alone. And he wasn’t strong enough. Even Dao Cheng would be a tough opponent for him, not to mention someone like Final Armor. It wasn’t surprising at all that a genius from the multiple character faction would be targeted by everyone.

He wondered what the people back at the headquarters would do about this. Would they send some reinforcements? If no help arrived, Su Yu would probably die in this city. Furthermore, Mo Duona was also in this city. He could only hope that Mo Duona did not notice him.

If Mo Duona saw him and somehow concluded that he was strong enough, that lunatic might decide to attack out of nowhere. The complications of that might even somehow drag Mo Duona into the siege against Su Yu, bringing Su Yu even more trouble.

How troublesome.

He shot another glance at the distant Dao Cheng and Jiu Xuan before rolling his eyes. Damn it. Those damn immortals sure were rich. Just look at how openly they were burning their heavenly source qi just to withstand the death qi in the air.

He had just arrived, but he was already feeling greatly uncomfortable due to the death qi in the area. The Qin Family was most certainly not as wealthy as the damn immortals. Next, his gaze landed on the building surrounded by death spirits. That was probably Su Yu’s building.

That fellow sure was gutsy. He had actually killed so many people inside an ancient city. And now, he was surrounded by both his enemies and the death spirits. How much longer could he last? Hopefully, help would arrive soon.

Then again, that brat was truly getting more and more terrifying. Sure, he seemed to have used some ability blood essence to kill the third-stage Mountainsea, but his physical body must definitely be strong enough to accomplish such a feat. Also, had the research on ability blood essence progressed so far?

“He’s only a first-stage Cloudbreach, but he has already killed a third-stage Mountainsea. I only did the same after reaching the sixth stage. That damn brat has actually surpassed my accomplishment.”

Qin Fang started playing with the voice transmission talisman in his hand. His second uncle wasn’t too far away from this place. Would his second uncle come? He was unsure. If his second uncle wasn’t coming, would Great Ming send anyone over?

Great Ming had always enjoyed keeping a low profile. They did not like to bask in the limelight. If not even Great Ming sent help, Hong Tan would probably be Su Yu’s only hope since his relationship with Great Xia wasn’t exactly good at the moment.

But even if Hong Tan did decide to come, as an early Sunmoon, could he even do much here? Also, his appearance might even cause the appearance of Invincibles. Thus, Great Xia would most likely prohibit him from coming.

After all, a lot of people were paying close attention to his disassembly method. If he came, he would only further complicate things.

“Su Yu…sigh.”

That single sigh was accompanied by endlessly complicated emotions. Su Yu was very talented and strong. Alas, no Invincible was able to openly back him. He also didn’t have a reliable prefecture as a backer. His identity as a member of the multiple character faction only served to further complicate things. He was completely unlike Qin Fang and Huang Teng, who were able to move around with relative freedom even in the Allheaven Battlefield.

The mystic armor race had the courage to kill Su Yu, but they didn’t have the courage to kill Qin Fang. That was the difference between the two. At times, backing was very important. Just look at how arrogant and overbearing Mo Duona was. Yet no experts had ever tried to kill him.

***

At the moment, Su Yu was too busy to think about anything else.

Covered in a thick layer of heavenly source qi, he was busy making use of both the heavenly source qi and death qi to temper his body. He didn’t even bother to think about who would come and who wouldn’t.

Rather than relying on others, he was better off relying on himself. Even if no help arrived, it didn’t matter. Before the super experts of the various races arrived, he would sacrifice his body and unleash slaughter upon all these people. Perhaps he could even try killing every single one of the bastards outside.

What was the worst that could happen? He only needed to recultivate his physical body. From the moment he decided to stay, he had also decided to shoulder all the consequences himself. Otherwise, he would have fled right after his conversation with the big bird.

He was unwilling to flee. Back in the Human Realm, he had been acting like a turtle. He was tired of being a turtle. Out here, he was not going to act like that anymore.

He would kill to his heart’s content, consequences be damned.

At worst, he would use his ultimate trump card: his yang acupoint.

“Furball, if I die and manage to crush you to death before that, will your dada come and slaughter everyone here?”

“…”

That random question caused the little furball to shiver with fear.

“No…don’t crush me to death. I can run with your sea of willpower! You said that yourself!”

The little furball felt like crying. Yummy was planning to crush him to death. Would his dada come and kill everyone here if that happened? Definitely. But he would still die. He didn’t want to die!

Su Yu had a pensive look as he contemplated all his options. That could perhaps serve as his final option. The arrival of a Pseudo Emperor might cause the death of every single person in this city.

***

At the same time.

The ancient statue in the mayor’s residence suddenly opened its eyes.

It, no, he seemed to have sensed someone scheming against him. And the culprit felt quite near. Instantly, his gaze landed on Su Yu. Then, he blanked out. What was going on? What was that odd sensation he was feeling?
