Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1377: Don’t Offend Women (2)

Great Xia King said nothing. He glanced around in silence as he tightened his grip on his saber before letting go. As Great Zhou King said, if he attacked, the immortals and divines might take the chance to encircle and kill him. Things were getting even more difficult for the human race.

Great Qin King was right. After the recent events, humanity had grown stronger. However, the immortals had also stopped pretending to be their friends. It might look like the immortals were only targeting Su Yu, but they had still attacked the human encampment. Clearly, they were about to link up with the divines and devils to eliminate the human race.

Dao King was making that clear. The alliance between the humans and immortals was no more. The Daofuse eye used by Dao King earlier was clearly the Daofuse eye of Tiangu. Thus, everything he did here was sanctioned by Tiangu.

Several human Invincibles stood behind Great Xia King. Hearing his words, they all had complicated expressions. They disliked the immortals. However, humanity had no choice but to maintain cooperation with the immortals to resist the divines and devils.

Thus, the conflicts between the human and immortal races had been limited to secret clashes all these years. Most of the time, humanity would end up taking a step back in the event of a conflict, hoping that the alliance would last longer.

However…it did not seem like the alliance would persist much longer.

Suddenly, Dao King’s voice reached them, “Hand Su Yu over and the immortal-human alliance will remain strong. These are the words of my Emperor. Consider it.”

Looking at the humans from afar, the Dao King smiled.

Su Yu was too hard to locate, especially when he was hiding in an ancient city. However, that wouldn’t be the case for the human race. After all, there were simply too many connections between humanity and Su Yu. His father lived among them. His teacher lived among them. His friends lived among them.

Su Yu would occasionally visit these people in secret. It was likely that the top experts of humanity were aware of that. For example, Great Qin King might have been aware of his previous visit to Liu City.

These top experts had ignored it. Thus, the human race would have a far higher chance of capturing Su Yu.

Right after saying those words, Dao King’s expression changed. A massive ancient city had descended from the sky.

A burst of laughter rang out from inside the city as someone spoke, “Why are you allowing people through the blockade without waiting for me? Are you looking down on the Holy City Alliance?”

Along with that voice, a man appeared in the sky.

Clad in elegant white robes, he was seated atop a floating throne. Su Yu had appeared.

“Su Yu” was slightly pale. Death qi was also leaking out of his body. He first swept his gaze through the area. Then, one ancient city after another descended from the sky.

With a smile, Su Yu said, “Do you think I’m dead? Or do you simply not care about the Holy City Alliance? What is the meaning of this disrespect?”

Dao King’s eyes shone brightly as he gazed straight at Su Yu. At the same time, the eye in his palm did the same.

As the ancient cities were covered in death qi, the myriad race Invincibles did not dare to approach the city lest a battle with the ancient statues be triggered. With the arrival of the ancient cities, one Invincible after another revealed themselves again.

All of them looked toward the seriously injured Su Yu. They could see that his aura was still unstable, but he had clearly recovered significantly as well.

The Su Yu in the sky was none other than Liu Hong.

With an indifferent, unrestrained, and disdainful expression, he looked around and said, “What is this? Are you trembling in fear to see me alive? A battle nearly erupted here earlier. Why did it stop?”

“Su Yu!” Dao King said, “How dare you show up after forging an evil weapon? We have yet to punish you for that.”

At that, Liu Hong laughed. With a mocking tone, he replied, “Dao King, don’t bother playing this game with me. If you and that little bastard called Tiangu really want to kill me, be more straightforward about it. Come. I’m waiting here. I’m looking forward to that. Unfortunately, I doubt you have the balls to do that.”

“Impudent!”

A single roar by Dao King caused the space to tremble. His voice rippled out in waves. Right at that moment, a source qi storm erupted above the ancient city before descending upon Liu Hong.

Inwardly, Liu Hong was terrified. But he maintained a sneer on his face as he said, “Audacious. Looks like the immortal race has decided to declare war against the Holy City Alliance. How dare you attack me? Lords, I beseech you to take action.”

Immediately, a fist appeared out of nowhere and shot toward the immortal encampment.

Then, a stone statue appeared in the sky and roared, “Impudent! Are the immortals courting death?”

Boom!

A massive battle erupted in the sky. In the blink of an eye, Dao King and Grandstar exchanged more than ten moves before Dao King was sent flying while coughing blood. Almost immediately after, three immortal kings soared to the sky from the immortal encampment.

With a cold expression, Grandstar threw punch after punch at them.

Then, he roared, “Immortals, is this a declaration of war?”

At that question, the projections of multiple stone statues appeared in the sky. Behind the three immortal kings, Dao King was still coughing blood. Ignoring his injuries, he was still looking around. Was the Su Yu in the city real? Or was the real Su Yu outside the city?

Just because Grandstar could act did not mean that Su Yu was in the city.

Once again, the hand in his palm scanned the area. Soon, a voice rang out in Dao King’s mind, “No death qi detected in the crowd.”

For Grandstar to act, Su Yu would most certainly be subjected to a massive burden of death qi. Even if he could handle the death qi, it wouldn’t be easy for him to hide any trace of death qi in the presence of so many Invincibles.

However, no death qi had been detected among the minor race cultivators or the human cultivators. What did that signify? Clearly, Su Yu was not among them. In that case, the Su Yu in the city could very well be the real Su Yu. However, there was no way to verify that since the death qi in the city was interfering with any attempts to pry.

In any case, they could now be sure that Su Yu was not among the crowd outside the city. At the very least, he was absent from the hundred-kilometer radius around the massive gate. This could only mean that Su Yu was already suspicious of them. Thus, he had not opted to approach in a disguise.

***

Grandstar City.

Mayor’s residence.

Old Man Bai had a pale expression as his yang acupoint madly absorbed death qi. Each moment Grandstar spent outside the city would send a large amount of death qi into his body.

He wouldn’t be able to last for long. Thus, Grandstar wouldn’t be able to stay outside for long either. He was different than Su Yu. For Su Yu, the yang acupoint was merely an additional help when processing death qi. He mainly relied on the reversal method to deal with death qi. However, this wasn’t the case for Old Man Bai, who relied entirely on the yang acupoint.

Looking up at Liu Hong, Old Man Bai swore inwardly.

Was that bastard done with his act?

If he was done, he should come back down.

Fuck!

That bastard only needed to act while Old Man Bai needed to withstand the burden of death qi. If Grandstar were to remain outside for more than an hour at a time, he would die.

***

In the sky.

With his eyes narrowed, Liu Hong smiled, “Lord Grandstar, please calm your anger. The immortals are very strong. They also have an old Pseudo Emperor, Tiangu. They are so strong. How will they fear us? Lord Tiangu is terrifyingly strong. Even the Divine and Devil Emperors need to follow his lead. What are we before someone like him?

“Just look at what happened back when Tiangu voiced his support for humanity. With one word from him, both the devils and divines pissed off in fear. They no longer dared to provoke humanity after that. And now, Lord Tiangu has spoken yet again. The divines, devils, nethers, and dragons all need to obey and kill us. We only have three Pseudo Emperors and thirty-five Invincibles. We’re not a match for this alliance led by the immortals. The immortals simply have too many running dogs.”

Dao King warned, “Su Yu, these verbal disputes are pointless. Killing you is not our decision. However, you have committed an unforgivable offense. You are someone who has triggered the blood tribulation. The heavenly laws have demanded your death.”

Liu Hong grinned, “Wow. That’s so scary. Dao King, come on. Kill me. I’m here. I have never experienced the attack of an Invincible before. O Great Dao King, come on. Give me a punch. I’m so scared. Ahhh, I’m terrified.”

He was incredibly annoying. Even Dao King, with his years of cultivation, felt his dao heart shaking in annoyance. As for Grandstar, he merely snorted before returning to the city.

With a sneer, Liu Hong looked at the immortals and the other races before saying, “What’s the point of this? How about this? Just let me fight the immortals alone. When I cripple them, all of you can join in and take advantage of our weakness. Don’t worry, I’ll lose. But I won’t have any issues killing ten or so of their Invincibles before that. Since they are so strong, just let them charge ahead. Why bother fighting for them?”

The white-haired divine king said, “Su Yu, this is pointless. There is no need for you to incite disharmony between us. You took what’s mine. Return it and I’ll leave you alone.”

He was referring to his carrier treasure. Inwardly, the white-haired divine king was wondering about his carrier treasure. Why was it gone? Why couldn’t he feel it?

Why?

He couldn’t enter the ancient city, but that carrier treasure was something he had nurtured for countless years. Even outside the city, he should be able to sense it somewhat.
