Chapter 884: Swaggering Into The Earth Index (1)
An Mintian had entered the valley with a considerably large group. There were geniuses of the divine and other minor races in the group. The people qualified to join his group were naturally not weaklings.
These people were moving rapidly in Huang Teng's direction as well, but they were quite far behind An Mintian since he was much faster than them. Everyone saw the saber qi eruption that had killed an expert earlier. That was the saber qi released by Huang Teng.
From how urgent the saber qi felt, they could all sense that Huang Teng was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Tianduo's group had caught up to him. Evidently, Huang Teng and Wu Qi were no longer capable of escaping. Thus, these people were moving while conversing nonchalantly.
"Looks like we won't be able to take part in it."
"Yeah. Huang Teng is already dead. What a pity that we won't be able to get a share of the contribution. Even Lord An might not be able to reach there in time. That Tianduo from the devil race is going to gain a lot from this. Huang Teng is ranked first in the Earth Index. Killing him will definitely produce a great heavenly reward. The reward might be enough to push him to the eighth or ninth-stage Cloudbreach Realm or even the Mountainssea Realm."
"That will save a lot of time for him. Tianduo is also still quite young."
"A Mountainsea of the original devil race...if he really manages to become a Mountainsea, even Lord An might find it hard to defeat him."
This was a place where the strong reigned supreme. This was something all of them had to accept. With their incredible racial abilities, cultivation methods, and talents, the divines and devils had a great advantage over the other races.
No matter how hard someone from a minor race worked, it would be very hard for them to overtake the top geniuses from the divine and devil races. One ought to admit that not everyone was born equal.
Among the group was a Cloudbreach from the divine race. He had three wings on his back, and as he listened to their words, a look of pride covered his face. Arrogance was the common trait of many divines and devils. As far as they were concerned, they were superior to all the other races.
The six-winged divine indifferently said, "The original devils are powerful, but even if Tianduo manages to become a Mountainsea, he still won't be a match for some of the geniuses in our divine race. Even compared to Mo Duona, who is also an original devil, he is much weaker."
Nobody argued. They nodded in agreement.
Mo Duona of the original devil race, number one expert in the Heaven Index. A seventh-stage Cloudbreach who had once killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea. Even the number two expert in the Heaven Index, Zhan Wushuang of the first divine race, was lower than him in the ranking. One ought to note that Zhan Wushuang was a first-stage SSunmoon while Mo Duona was only a Cloudbreach.
One of them asked curiously, "Why isn't Mo Duona here?"
The six-winged divine said, "He definitely won't come. Huang Teng is not worth his time. If Qin Fang is here as well, he might be attracted. Otherwise, Mo Duona is too arrogant to put so much effort into killing a weaker individual."
The others had a look of envy and admiration at the mention of Mo Duona. That was the number one genius of the myriad races. His arrogance knew no bounds. Even someone like Huang Teng was not worth his time. As for the likes of Long Zhan from the dragon race, they naturally couldn't catch his attention as well. Perhaps only the other geniuses in the Heaven Index could catch his attention.
The group continued traveling leisurely while talking about all sorts of topics. The result would be the same regardless of their speed, so why bother wasting their energy?
That was the moment Su Yu arrived. He arrived like a thunderstorm. With the wind character boosting his speed and the pseudo-earth shoes, he had just appeared in the distance before reappearing in their midst with a flicker.
The six-winged divine couldn't even get a clear look at the newcomer. But he did manage to yell out a warning, "Attack!"
These experts were experienced killers. None of them was slow to react. But they were also quite surprised. There were eight of them, and one of them, the six-winged divine, was an expert in the Yellow Index.
He was a young third-stage Cloudbreach who had once killed a sixth-stage Cloudbreach. Who would dare to attack them with such a composition? It would be understandable if there were more in the opposing party, but the opponent was attacking alone.
Right after the six-winged divine yelled his warning, one of them turned into a massive peng. He opened his mouth wide and attempted to pull Su Yu in. As for the others, some went into concealment while some charged him with their weapons raised. One of them was even attacking him with fire.
The six-winged divine flapped his wings and broke through the illusion generated by Su Yu instantly. When he saw Su Yu's appearance, he roared, "Cui Lang! How impudent!"
Was this human crazy? How dare he attack them?
"Six-winged divine?"
Su Yu turned furious the moment he saw the six-winged divine. This was a race he hated. The Six-Winged Divine Sect of the Human Realm had been targeting the multiple character faction repeatedly. They had killed Wu Jia's parents. They had almost killed Feng Ji as well. Because of them, Chen Yong had to leave Great Xia and live the life of a fugitive.
They should all die!
Damn them all!
His killing intent surged. With a furious roar, his hammer turned into a saber. That was the true form of his character technique. It was a character technique with ninety-nine characters. It might still be incomplete, but even in an incomplete form, it was much more powerful than other character techniques.
"Break!"
His break character instantly broke through the defenses of his opponent. At the same time, a powerful burst of willpower erupted from the saber as a layer of black fire appeared around its blade.
Additionally, Su Yu was also using the Sky Sundering Saber. The activation of the Sky Sundering Saber attracted all the saber qi around them, calling them over to further boost the saber strike.
This divine was only a third-stage Cloudbreach. Did this divine think that he would be stronger just because he was a divine? As the rumbling saber descended, the expression of the six-winged divine changed. He hurriedly flapped his wings and moved aside from the attack. That was too strong.
The look in his eyes changed completely as a certain realization hit him. This was not a single character cultivator! This was a character technique!
"Who are you?"
He questioned. Something wasn't right. How could this person know a character technique? As a genius who had fought other humans before, the six-winged divine was quite knowledgeable about the human race. He also knew that character techniques were extremely rare, and one that was so powerful was even rarer. This Cui Lang was not one of the people who should know such a powerful character technique.
"I'm your daddy."
With a roar, Su Yu swung his saber again. Space itself started shattering from the might of his saber. The six-winged divine hurriedly retreated. He was actually quite nimble.
Shock and doubt filled his mind. Who was this person?
The multiple character faction must perish! Those were the words from an ancient prophecy of the divine race, and those words had been passed down from generation to generation in the divine race.
Before the six-winged divine could even recover from his shock, Su Yu abruptly switched to the First Divine Art. The six-winged divine immediately found his body turning stiff. That was a suppression from the ruling race of the divines.
At that point, the expression of the six-winged divine changed again. No...first divine race? Impossible!
"You're not Cui—"
Rumble!
Before he could finish his sentence, another saber attack arrived. This was an attack Su Yu had launched with all his strength. Both his willpower and source qi entered the saber, releasing a blinding saber ray that soared high into the sky. This saber ray was not as powerful as the one released by Huang Teng previously, but it was also not much weaker.
With a loud explosion, the attack landed, blasting the six-winged divine into pieces. Only the six wings of the divine remained undamaged. They tried to escape, but Su Yu activated his fire character and burned them all.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
A miserable wail rang out as the six wings turned into ashes. Only a few pieces of flesh and blood were left where the six-winged divine once stood. With a casual swing of his hand, Su Yu gathered some of the blood.
It was then that the other experts finally broke free of the illusion. But they were all stunned by what they saw. Dead? It had only been a moment. The battle between Su Yu and the six-winged divine had lasted an incredibly short time. The two had exchanged less than three sentences before the divine was dead.
"Run!"
All of them started fleeing, including the peng who had transformed into his original beast form. That was too terrifying.
Run!
Meanwhile, a cloud appeared above Su Yu. After a single glance, he scattered the cloud with a slap. It was some garbage heavenly source qi again. He wouldn't waste his time absorbing a trash reward like that.
"Running from me?" Su Yu snorted coldly, "How dare you join hands with the divines and devils to attack humans? Is the human race something you can afford to provoke?"
The divines and devils were strong, but these minor races were nothing. Even if some of them were members of some top-100 races, such as that peng, the human race was definitely no pushover. They must be tired of living.
At that moment, the little furball made his move. The person who was the slowest to flee instantly stopped with a blank look in his eyes. Then, a saber descended upon him and cut him into two. The two halves started falling from the sky, only to be collected by Su Yu before they could land on the ground.
The six survivors continued fleeing with everything they had. Even with a ninth-stage Cloudbreach among them, they did not have the courage to face that human. This was not someone they could contend against.
At the same time, flashes of lightning appeared far behind Su Yu. Lei Jue was rushing over rapidly. He was not here to help the defeated group. Rather, he was here to kill Cui Lang before that human could escape yet again.
Even further away, An Mintian looked behind him. He saw the imposing saber ray in the sky that Su Yu had used to kill the six-winged divine. He frowned and cursed, but he did not bother turning around. Instead, he continued heading toward Huang Teng.
It wasn't like he could return in time to save those people. In any case, those people were only in a cooperative relationship with him. They weren't his family. Why should he care about them? Huang Teng was not far ahead. He wouldn't give up on Huang Teng so easily.
