Chapter 2260 – You, You, You
Feng Yunxiu looked wretched. As the worms devoured his flesh, they left his body riddled with bloody holes. The worms slithered in and out of his wounds. It was a hideous, unsettling sight.
He was a Three-Tribulation Master God. That meant he’d already stepped into the top level of the Divine Dao.
But now, no matter how hard he tried to break free, he couldn’t escape. Only his desperate cries rang out repeatedly.
Even if you’d hit Feng Yunxiu over the head, he would never have imagined that he’d run into such a catastrophe while chasing Xiao Jian. Had he known, he would never have set foot onto this mountain!
“Ancestor——!” When Feng Wuji saw this in the distance, he couldn’t help but cry out.
“Wuji, hurry! Save me! Save me——!” Feng Yunxiu cried out, then turned and charged at Su Yi.
But before he’d gotten far, those strange worms blocked his path. He couldn’t break free.
It wasn’t that the worms themselves were all that strong, but that the gaping maw in the distant skies emanated a terrifying, suppressive power that sealed the entire place off!
Feng Yunxiu was trapped inside, like a beast in a cage, helpless as the worms repeatedly devoured his flesh and blood.
“Xiao Jian, please! Save my clan ancestor! I swear that no matter what you’re after, I’ll agree to any request that’s within my power!” Feng Wuji cried out frantically.
“You hear that, old-timer? Even now, Feng Wuji wholeheartedly hopes to save your life,” Su Yi said calmly. “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
“Xiao Jian! I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Feng Yunxiu cried out. “Aren’t you afraid that Qingwu Divine Court will punish you for this?”
Su Yi laughed derisively. “Even in the face of death, you remain tight-lipped. In that case, I’ll actually be interested to see just how long you last.”
Feng Wuji cried out in grief. “Xiao Jian, I’m begging you. Please!”
Su Yi disregarded him, then said to the man in brocade. “See that? Your operation failed. Tell me the truth, and I can leave you a path to life.
“Refuse, and I’ll toss you in, too. I’ll let you savor the sensation of ten thousand worms devouring your soul.”
The man in brocade was down to just a soul, and Feng Yunxiu’s misfortune had completely terrified him, so he didn’t hesitate. “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Feng Yunxiu arranged all this!
“A month ago, he found me and my eight associates and hired us to participate in this operation. Our goal was to work together to kill the young leader of the Feng Family, Feng Wuji!”
Feng Wuji reacted as if struck by lightning. His eyes bulged. “What did you just say!?”
“I said, your clan ancestor arranged this operation to kill you!” said the man in brocade. “Once you’re dead, the Feng Family will need a new young leader!”
“That’s impossible! How could my clan ancestor possibly hurt me? Impossible… impossible….” Feng Wuji was obviously stunned and despondent.
Su Yi, meanwhile, still had questions. “Was the one who tried to shoot Feng Wuji earlier one of your allies, too?”
“He was!” said the man in brocade. But just as he was about to say more…
“Die!” Feng Yunxiu’s voice boomed like spring thunder, and he chanted an invocation tinged with fury.
Practically simultaneously, Su Yi tossed the man in brocade away.
Boom!
The man’s soul shattered into a rain of light, and in the blink of an eye, it dissipated.
Su Yi hadn’t exactly anticipated this, but he didn’t find it particularly surprising, either.
“See that? Your clan ancestor placed a curse in that guy’s soul. When he heard that the truth was about to come to light, he freaked out and decided to silence his co-conspirator,” Su Yi said calmly.
Feng Wuji’s expression shifted. There was no doubt about it. The truth came as an incomparably heavy blow!
“Wuji, don’t listen to his nonsense!” Feng Yunxiu abandoned his hole-riddled body with a hysterical roar. His soul emerged from its battered flesh and charged explosively out of the worms’ encirclement.
Boom!
His soul seemed to burn. The power of the Laws enveloped and interwove around him, and his eyes blazed like twin suns, majestic and imposing.
Even though he was now just a soul, his Three-Tribulation Master God-level cultivation base was terrifying beyond measure.
Su Yi didn’t hesitate to turn and leave. He hadn’t even considered the possibility that Feng Yunxiu would break free.
Although he had means of dealing with Feng Yunxiu, he didn’t want to waste the hidden cards he’d prepared.
It wasn’t worth it.
“Die!!” Feng Yunxiu cried out and gave chase
“There’s danger all over this mountain. Aren’t you afraid you’ll invite calamity again by crying out like that?” Su Yi warned him as he fled.
Feng Yunxiu looked stricken. His face was ashen with alarm and anger, and his gaze was terrifying to behold. He didn’t give up the chase, but he’d obviously reined in his temper.
There was no doubt about it. His painful encounter had filled his heart with dread, and he no longer dared to act recklessly.
“Xiao Jian! So long as you let the young leader go, I’ll spare you just this once. Refuse, and I’ll destroy you even if it kills me!” Feng Yunxiu said icily, his voice brimming with hatred.
“At this point, what need is there to hide the truth?” Su Yi didn’t even look at him. “Do you really think Feng Wuji is that stupid?”
Feng Wuji’s face flushed red with shame.
Feng Yunxiu’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. He charged ahead and lunged at Su Yi, his speed doubling; he wasn’t wasting any more time on talk.
“Activate!” Feng Yunxiu bellowed and raised his hands into the air. Countless dazzling chains formed of Divine Laws surged forth.
When he swung his hands through the air, the divine chains ripped through the sky and descended.
It was just one attack, but it covered the sky on all sides. There was nowhere to hide.
But Su Yi had no intention of hiding.
The moment Feng Yunxiu attacked, he stopped in place, and a talisman ignited at his fingertip.
He vanished into thin air with a bang.
A moment later, the countless chains crushed the entire stretch of sky and cleaved into the nearby mountains.
Moments later, something strange happened.
High-pitched shrieks emanated from the mountainside, as if countless vengeful spirits had been startled into action.
Feng Yunxiu’s heart pounded in his chest as he realized he’d poked yet another hornet’s nest.
He turned and fled without hesitation, but he was already one step too late.
Dense, ink-black fog suddenly surged, covering the entire area, blanketing the sky and obscuring the sun.
All of creation was instantly plunged into eternal darkness.
Even Feng Yunxiu’s senses were severed. It was as if he’d suddenly gone blind. No matter where he looked, all he saw was darkness.
Shit! His heart shook as he drew upon the full extent of his cultivation base and tried to return along the same path he’d come here on.
“What are you afraid of?” A raspy, feminine voice suddenly resounded amidst the darkness.
Feng Yunxiu panicked, but he had no intention of answering. Instead, he activated an unparalleled divine ability, which swept outward in all directions.
Strangely, even though he’d only just attacked, his unparalleled divine ability vanished into the inky darkness, like snow melting into water.
“It’s useless. A soul like you cannot possibly leave this ‘Spirit Burial Mountain.’ Stay here and become my sustenance. It’s… been a long, long time since I’ve enjoyed such a sumptuous soul.” That raspy murmur rang out once more.
Feng Yunxiu panicked, as it was then that he saw the voice’s owner’s face for the first time.
She was a jade-like beauty with bright eyes and lips as red as fire.
However, her beautiful face was covered in crisscrossing wounds, like cracked porcelain. This gave her otherwise beautiful features an unsettling, hideous quality.
“Ma’am…” Feng Yunxiu opened his mouth to speak, only for the woman to open her mouth wide and devour him whole!
Boom!
The darkness churned like the tides.
An intoxicated look appeared on that beautiful face. “The soul of a Three-Tribulation master God. It might not be the most luxurious, but it’s already the most delicious, top-class delicacy I’ve enjoyed in all these years…”
As her voice tinged with sighs rang out, the churning dark fog suddenly vanished, and the original landscape came back into view.
The beauty seemed to sense something. She turned and gazed into the distance. There, she saw a young man in robes whiter than snow, gazing at her from afar.
“Why not run, sweetie? Aren’t you afraid I’ll eat you, too?” She was delicate and beautiful, and her raspy voice was enchanting.
But she was so covered in wounds that when she laughed, it was as if countless, bloody lines were shifting and contorting on her skin. It was an extraordinarily unsettling sight.
“I have a question for you,” Su Yi asked with a smile. “Answer me, and I’ll spare you.”
The beauty was briefly stunned. Then, she burst into laughter. “You’ll spare my life? I’m actually curious. Where do you get the courage to speak to me like that?”
“You didn’t mishear me,” said Su Yi. He flipped his palm, and the illusory figure of the Sword of the Nine Hells floated into view.
Unsurpassed sword force instantly permeated the entire stretch of heaven and earth. The entire mountain instantly fell into a strange, unnatural silence.
Even the blood-red mist in the sky ceased its churning.
The beautiful woman’s eyes widened. She couldn’t help but cry out, “You, you, you…!”
This was the terrifying entity who’d only just devoured Feng Yunxiu’s soul, but now, she was stammering out of sheer panic, unable to even speak coherently.
“You know who I am,” said Su Yi. “Tell me, do you think I’m qualified to question you?”
“You are! You absolutely are!” Deep-seated dread appeared on that beautiful face covered in wounds. She sighed. “Had I known you were, Your Excellency, I would never have dared to cause trouble.”
“Tell me, then. Where is the Rahu Yao Ancestor trapped?” Su Yi got straight to the point.
“The Rahu Yao Ancestor?” The beauty mulled that over, then suddenly lit up with recognition. “You must mean that old Nine-Tribulation Rahu. He entered this Ancient Battlefield in search of Profound Chaos Stones, but half a year ago, he got trapped in the Dao Transformation Blood Cave. There’s been no sign of him since.”
Su Yi’s eyebrows rose, and he murmured, “The old-timer is quite brave. To think he’d go there on his own.”
Outsiders thought of this place as the Extreme Lightning Demon Cave, but the terrifying inhabitants of this famous forbidden zone thought of it as the ruins of an ancient battlefield. Its origins dated back to the earliest days of the God Domain’s history!
The Dao transformation Blood Cave lay at the heart of this ancient battlefield. It was the most dangerous, taboo place in the entire Extreme Lightning Demon Cave!
