Chapter 2323: Slaughter (3)

Su Yu was being very extravagant here.

Martial Emperor's Heaven Gate and dao. Human Ancestor's bamboo stick. All these could be used to greatly strengthen Su Yu himself, but he had sacrificed them without any hesitation. Killing two tier-twos was enough as well.

Of the four tier-twos in the group, two had died. The battle had barely started. In fact, Battle King had just broken through the battle line to join the battlefield on Su Yu's side. But the moment he arrived, he blanked out. Dead?

That was way too fast! It hadn't even taken him that long to arrive. In fact, he had rushed over while ignoring even Human Emperor's body. But he had still arrived late. Su Yu had killed a third of the opponents by the time he arrived.

At this point, Nether Pseudo Emperor finally started to panic. He roared, "Withdraw! Do it at all costs!"

Two tier-twos were killed almost instantly.

Shit!

South Heavenly King and a few others had been freed from their respective opponents, and Battle King had arrived.

Far away, Divine Pseudo Emperor and the others noticed that as well. One of them roared, "Go! Rush over and join up with them!"

A large number of people had died. However, they still had the numerical superiority. As long as they could join up with the second group, they would have nothing to fear. With that command, they started moving in Su Yu's direction while fighting Human Emperor and the others.

Immortal Pseudo Emperor looked over with gleaming eyes. With one glance, his expression changed. He roared, "No, leave that area! That area has been polluted!"

He seemed to have noticed something.

"How dare you distract yourself while fighting me?"

Boom!

Suddenly, Human Emperor tossed a seal out. The seal crashed into Immortal Pseudo Emperor, sending him flying while coughing blood as countless dao power rippled out. The battle paused slightly as everyone looked at the massive seal in the sky.

That was not Xing Yu's token. Rather, it was the strongest weapon of humanity, Human Emperor's seal. Human Emperor had finally used his seal. With one strike, it heavily injured Immortal Pseudo Emperor.

However, everyone also saw that Human Emperor's figure was starting to tremble, looking as though it was going to fall apart at any time.

Divine Pseudo Emperor said, "Are you tired of living? If you wish to die, go on. We won't be stopping you."

Human Emperor had heavily injured Immortal Pseudo Emperor with one strike, but he had also destabilized his sea of willpower with it. This was a clear sign of his heavy injuries. However, Divine Pseudo Emperor and the others were also growing slightly fearful. They were terrified that he would drag some of them down right before dying.

Boom!

Human Emperor appeared indifferent. Would he be scared so easily? They should save the threats and focus on actually killing him. With Immortal Pseudo Emperor heavily injured, the other two could no longer spare their attention elsewhere. Both roared and charged toward Human Emperor again.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu had reappeared before Nether Pseudo Emperor. He spoke indifferently, "Can you escape me?"

Nether Pseudo Emperor gasped for breath. He looked at Su Yu before looking at his nearby allies. Looking at them dying one after another, he gnashed his teeth and said, "Understand that I'm a tier-one. When I throw caution to the wind, do you think you'll escape unscathed?"

"This must be your world, right? If I use all my strength to break your world, you will suffer as well."

"You are free to try."

With Su Yu standing in his path of escape yet again, Nether Pseudo Emperor was starting to worry. Left with no choice, he roared and manifested a spear wrapped in a chilly power. Su Yu focused on evading the spear strikes, but he continued blocking Nether Pseudo Emperor's path while absorbing the scattered dao power in the air.

With so many Masters of Laws dead and Martial Emperor's earlier dao detonation, this was the perfect opportunity for him to further grow his world. Furthermore, Return was still sending an unending stream of power toward him.

With Battle King's arrival, even more enemies were killed. With the situation stabilizing, Heavenbridge Marquis sighed with relief. However, he did not stop moving their people around under the suggestion of his two helpers.

Boom!

Yet another rumble rang out as another powerhouse was killed by Battle King and a few others.

Battle King had not received Heavenbridge's brand, so he couldn't be teleported around. Right after killing a powerful opponent, he didn't have the chance to celebrate when the allies around him vanished one after another before reappearing before the final tier-two enemy.

South Heavenly King, March, Martial Emperor, chaos dragon, eight-winged tiger, Xia Longwu...

The various powerhouses attacked together. The tier-two roared with desperation. Just as he was about to detonate his dao, Heavenbridge roared and sealed him for a split second.

That momentary delay was enough for them to kill him.

Boom!

Seven powerhouses worked together, blasting him apart.

A wave of dao power rippled out and the seven vanished just as Battle King reached. He wasn't fast enough to join the fight, but he was fast enough to be hit by the shockwaves of all the attacks. He looked around gloomily with blood dripping down his mouth.

Fuck!

He was too slow here. They were teleporting everywhere while he was moving manually. By the time he arrived, the fight would be over. He was only fast enough to be hit by the aftershocks of the previous clash.

Heavenbridge Marquis was feeling quite annoyed.

"Battle King, stop running around randomly!" He complained, "I will fail my mission if you die! Quit messing around!"

Battle King did not have his brand. He couldn't teleport Battle King around even if he wanted. Why was Battle King running around and messing things up for him? He would need to explain himself for Battle King's death.

Battle King, a premier peak tier-two powerhouse, felt incomparably gloomy.

He...was very strong!

He wasn't here to mess around! He was here to help!

To help!

Just then, Su Yu's voice rang out, "Battle King, you can help here."

Yeah, that guy should stop messing things up.

All the tier-twos among their opponents had died. Since Battle King was here, he might as well focus on Nether Pseudo Emperor. In the blink of an eye, more than ten Masters of Laws had died. Only about half the group was left.

It wouldn't be long before Heavenbridge and the others ended the battle. At this point, they were already outnumbering their opponents by more than two to one.

After checking the time, Su Yu said, "A minute has passed. You have one more minute to end the battle."

"Yes!"

Everyone roared, and next--Boom! Yet another Master of Law was killed. At the same time, Su Yu's strength surged abruptly. He had cut off the support toward the others and focused the power of his world on himself before swinging his blade forward. With a rumble, the blade struck, leaving numerous wounds on Nether Pseudo Emperor's arms.

At that moment, a panting Battle King was finally there. He felt like he had been doing nothing but running around the entire battle.

In his desperation to flee, Nether Pseudo Emperor roared and poured all his dao power into a spear strike and sent Battle King flying. Battle King didn't even get the chance to draw his blade before he was sent flying very, very far away.

"I—"

Battle King was uninjured, but his ego had been badly damaged. He would be kicked off whenever he tried to join a fight. Either that or he would be hit by the shockwaves of a recently ended fight.

He was a peak tier-two! But he seemed completely useless here! He even wondered if he was the first under Su Yu to be injured here...wait, he was never under Su Yu in the first place!

As for Su Yu, he was too busy to spare Battle King any attention. Battle King's arrival had delayed Nether Pseudo Emperor for a split second. And that was enough. Sure enough, Battle King was quite useful. Any other person might have been killed when attempting to stop Nether Pseudo Emperor, but Battle King was strong enough to survive the attempt.

Yes. Su Yu was of the opinion that Battle King was very useful as a wall. At the same moment Nether Pseudo Emperor sent Battle King flying, Su Yu swung his blade forward. The blade wasn't sent Nether Pseudo Emperor's direction, but suddenly, Nether Pseudo Emperor warped and appeared in the blade's path. Instantly, an arm was severed.

Nether Pseudo Emperor was alarmed. Earlier, he had been influenced by Su Yu's dao. As a result, he had thrown himself at Su Yu's blade.

At the same time, the intense battle was still raging. Not far away, a desperate powerhouse self-detonated in desperation.

That managed to injure several powerhouses lightly as they were all teleported away in time. Pressed for time, Heavenbridge had teleported everyone except Martial Emperor, the strongest among them, and leaving him to take the explosion alone. By the time the dust settled, the bloodied Martial Emperor roared, "Why was I excluded?"

He was indignant. He felt like he was the unluckiest of all today. Why was he the only one left behind to eat the explosion?

Heavenbridge Marquis couldn't be bothered to reply. No shit. That guy was strong enough to survive the explosion while the others might die. That was why.

Those on Su Yu's side still had the same number. On the other hand, there were only ten or so left among their opponents. After intense struggle, they finally managed to regroup. Grief and dismay covered their faces.

Just what was going on? They had yet to even recover from their initial confusion. But about twenty Masters of Laws had died. Over thirty Masters of Laws had encircled them. How were they supposed to escape this?

Also, this was so confusing. Martial King had detonated himself, but he was still a tier-three after the detonation. What was up with that? Wasn't he supposed to drop from the level of a Master of Law after losing his dao?

Also, why was Heavenbridge here?

What was Culture King doing?

They were still confused. It had only been a short moment since the start of the battle. They only saw numerous people on their side dying.

One of them roared, "Come near us and we will all self-detonate! The self-detonations of so many Masters of Laws will be enough to kill many of you!"

The detonation of ten Masters of Laws could do a lot of damage before they could even teleport away. This was the only option left for the myriad race powerhouses.

Fighting was no longer an option.

Their auras stirred as they demonstrated their determination to drag more people down before dying.

"Release us!"

Someone demanded. They wanted to leave this scary place.

What an utterly confusing battle. Over thirty Masters of Laws had appeared out of nowhere. Nobody had expected that. Even Heavenbridge hesitated. Not even he could guarantee the safety of those on his side. A few might die. But these people might be able to escape without the encirclement.

What now?

He looked at Su Yu. He did not know what to do.

At that, Su Yu's eyes turned sharp as he roared, "Human Emperor!"

Human Emperor, who was busy fighting, looked over and resisted the urge to start cursing.

Holy shit!

Yes. He understood.

"You..."

He really wanted to start cursing...but he decided against it.

Right at that moment, Human Emperor's body stopped charging forward and started pulling back instead.

Su Yu roared again, "Kill them."

Heavenbridge's expression changed. The expressions of the ten changed as well. One of them gnashed his teeth and roared, "Screw this! Let's self-detonate and blast them all to hell!"

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted, but right at that moment, Human Emperor's body transformed into a mountain before descending upon them.

Boom!

And then, silence descended. A badly damaged body splashed heavily into the river. Not far away, Su Yu nodded with satisfaction. Well done. His people were fine. Human Emperor's body sure was impressive. It survived even the detonations of ten Masters of Laws. Truly incredible.

Su Yu believed that since Human Emperor's body was already so badly injured, it might as well gain a few more injuries. Nothing much would change. Instead, it was a profitable trade as numerous powerhouses had died in exchange for some new injuries.

Sure, his people could still kill those people without Human Emperor's help, but some would die in the process.

"Nobody knows me better than Human Emperor!"

Su Yu laughed.

With one word from him, Human Emperor instantly understood what he wanted.

How impressive.

Meanwhile, the others were greatly shocked. Did that...happen?

Meanwhile, those on humanity's side were greatly confused. Since that wasn't Culture King, who was that? But this guy...was just as treacherous as Culture King. He actually used Human Emperor's body as the meatshield.

How...savage.

More importantly, Human Emperor had cooperated. Then again, it was a resounding success. In the blink of an eye, Nether Pseudo Emperor became the sole survivor among Su Yu's opponents. Everyone else had died.

So many Masters of Laws had died consecutively that the entire River of Time was shaking violently.
