Chapter 891: Kill Lei Jue, Run (2)
Su Yu was impressed. This silkwyrm was a decently strong Cloudbreach. And the silk produced by this silkwyrm was actually excellent material for producing armor. In fact, this material was good enough to be used for the production of an earth-grade weapon.
Once again, Su Yu was impressed with his honesty. He had said that he was traveling to gather weaponsmithing materials. And look, so many of his opponents were voluntarily delivering him with suitable materials.
With the armor of the mystic armor race and the silk of the silkwyrm, he could probably forge a powerful armor for himself. Even though he was trapped within the net of silk, he wasn't too worried. After all, he had started this fight to catch Lei Jue's attention.
The silk around him might be durable, but he was still capable of fleeing if he really wanted to. Meanwhile, the silkwyrm was overjoyed. He had successfully trapped Wang Hu's successor!
But this human was truly quite strong. He wasn't confident he could kill this human. He was only capable of trapping this human. In fact, offense had always been one of the weaknesses of the silkwyrm race.
Not far away, thunder rumbled. The silkwyrm's expression changed. Someone was coming. Who was it? Not everyone in the valley was aware that Lei Jue was chasing after Su Yu. After sensing the arrival of an expert, the silkwyrm grew wary. Only after Lei Jue drew nearer did the silkwyrm manage to determine who the newcomer was.
"Lei Jue!"
An expert from the lightning divine race.
Suddenly, Su Yu roared and swung his saber at the net of silk around him. He created a big ruckus, looking like he was about to escape. Further away from them, Lei Jue was pleasantly surprised to see this. That human was trapped by a silkwyrm! What an unlucky human.
The silkwyrm would not be able to kill Cui Lang so easily, but if the silkwyrm focused only on trapping him, escape would be very difficult. Back then, this was what happened to the Silk Destroying King. The Silkwyrm King managed to trap Silk Destroying King, but he wasn't able to defeat Silk Destroying King. In his anger, he decided to swallow Silk Destroying King and slowly kill him through digestion.The silkwyrm race was very unique as there was even more silk in their body. Thus, swallowing an opponent to kill them was actually a valid strategy. But Silk Destroying King had subsequently kicked up such a fuss in Silkwyrm King's stomach that Silkwyrm King had no choice but to remove Silk Destroying King through his backside.
"Bisuo, keep him tangled!" Lei Jue roared, "If I manage to kill him, I'll reward you generously!"
Bisuo's expression changed again. At this point, he had the urge to run. He wasn't too familiar with Lei Jue, so he was feeling quite wary. But with Wang Hu's successor trapped, he was also somewhat unwilling to leave.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to kill this human. And the human’s struggle had suddenly increased in intensity. Bisuo started hesitating. After a short moment, he made his mind and spat even more silk around Su Yu.
Meanwhile, Su Yu was using more and more of his strength, severing the threads of silk around him.
When Bisuo sensed how strong this human was, he shouted, "Lei Jue, if you manage to kill him, I only want his legs. Nothing else."
Lei Jue blanked out. Legs?
"He is the successor of Wang Hu. The Silkwyrm King will reward his killer generously."
First, Lei Jue was stunned. Then, he was overjoyed. This was Silk Destroying King's successor? No wonder he ended up fighting a silkwyrm when he was supposed to be running.
In that case, there wasn't even a need to worry that the silkwyrm would suddenly side with the human. The Silk Destroying King was the eternal enemy of the silkwyrm race. Hell would freeze over before the two worked with each other.
Silk Destroying King viewed his past with the silkwyrm race as the greatest humiliation in his life. As for the Silkwyrm King, he was also furious with Silk Destroying King due to the constant attacks by Silk Destroying King on the silkwyrm race.
Thus, Lei Jue's joy was understandable. But he was also quite shocked. In other words, this human probably knew the Time technique as well. Yes, that seemed to be the movement technique this human had used when escaping before!
Time, Sky Sundering Saber, Soul Expanding Hammer, multiple characters...
A certain clue started emerging in his mind, but it was too vague. Since Su Yu had never been to the Allheaven Battlefield before, he was very foreign to the myriad races. But Lei Jue was sure that he had heard of something similar before.
"Cui Lang...no, who was it?"
He couldn't recall it. Back then, someone had only mentioned the topic in passing. He only remembered that the matter was slightly related to Liu Wenyan of the multiple character faction.
Liu Wenyan...Su...Su Yu?
Suddenly, a certain name emerged in his head. Yes, that was the name! Was this him?
Su Yu!
The successor of the multiple character faction!
Slowly, some memories surfaced in his mind. Back then, he had not given the matter much thought as the person they spoke of was in the Human Realm. That was too far away for him.
"Yes, it's Su Yu! The humans recently created a new cultivation method called the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art. Father spoke of it once..."
He finally remembered. His father was one of the generals of the lightning divine race, and he had once mentioned this matter in passing. The human race was apparently spreading the new cultivation method all over the Human Realm. The name Su Yu was also mentioned back then, but Lei Jue had not given it much thought.
A researcher from the multiple character faction…
Su Yu! Lei Jue's expression changed again. He was very surprised, but he was also overjoyed. Su Yu! This human seemed to be very important. At the very least, he was much more important than Cui Lang.
He was still unsure how important this human was, but this was someone his father had personally mentioned. Thus, killing this person might result in unimaginable rewards!
"Su Yu!"
Lei Jue roared. This was a test. Amid the net of silk, Su Yu had a helpless expression. Sigh. What could he do if his genius was too bright to be concealed? Very few people among the myriad races should know that he existed. And this was his first time here. Even so, Lei Jue was able to guess who he was.
Then again, that was also because he had been revealing too many of his abilities. There was no helping it as a lot of his abilities were too unique. Not everyone knew a combination of Time, Soul Expanding Hammer, and Sky Sundering Saber.
More importantly, he was exposed not because too few people knew these arts. Rather, he was the only person who knew all three of them. That made it way too obvious who he was.
"Nonsense." Su Yu denied, "Lei Jue, you have been following me for a while. What do you want? You can get a lot more killing Huang Teng."
"Huang Teng?"
Lei Jue sneered. He sent numerous lightning bolts toward Su Yu from afar, forming a net of lightning outside the net of silk.
"Huang Teng said that you're a lot more important than him. You're the successor of Xia Family, right?"
"What?"
"What's your name?" Lei Jue asked, "Are you Cui Lang? Or Su Yu? Or Xia Yu?"
Regardless of the name, he was sure that this human was very important. If he could kill this human, the reward would be enough for him to become a Mountainsea and elevate him beyond a large number of young geniuses.
With a roar, Su Yu used his Sky Sundering Saber and cut through countless threads of silk around him. Bisuo also found the name Su Yu familiar.
But he couldn't exactly recall who that person was. This was understandable. For example, Su Yu wouldn't have known about the geniuses of the myriad races without entering the Allheaven Battlefield himself. Thus, they only found his name familiar, but they couldn't recall who he was.
The silkwyrm couldn't remember who Su Yu was, but he didn't have the time to think. He continued producing more silk to trap Su Yu. Lei Jue had also finally arrived near them. The moment he arrived, he said nothing and stabbed his lightning spear through the net of silk.
Boom!
Due to his precise control, the silk remained undamaged. The entirety of his attack was focused on Su Yu. With a swing of his saber, Su Yu blasted the bolt of lightning apart. But his hand was still hurting from the prowess of the lightning. He was forced to step back repeatedly. He roared madly and started swinging and kicking at the silk around him, constantly damaging the net.
Outside the net, the silkwyrm was shaking. The vibrations were so intense that some of his silk had snapped.
"Lei Jue..."
Bisuo shouted urgently. Could they really kill this human?
Lei Jue's eyes turned cold as he said, "Give me a moment."
He pulled his spear back, activated all his acupoints, and sent an endless stream of lightning power into his spear. He was going to kill this human with one hit. This was an opportunity that couldn't be missed.
Even Lei Jue himself had not imagined that this human would end up trapped by a silkwyrm. He used all his strength, not daring to underestimate this human.
Bisuo was alarmed upon sensing the amount of power Lei Jue was gathering. He couldn't help but worry that Lei Jue would take the opportunity to kill him as well after dealing with the human.
Sure, they weren't enemies and he only wanted the legs of that human. But...did one need a reason to kill in the Allheaven Battlefield?
Then again, this attack seemed to be very draining for Lei Jue. Perhaps he wouldn't have enough strength to do much after killing the human. In fact, Lei Jue should be the one to worry about the silkwyrm turning against him. At that thought, Bisuo became slightly less worried.
Perhaps he could even consider killing Lei Jue after Lei Jue drained himself killing Su Yu...
Naturally, Lei Jue wouldn't fully exhaust himself in this attack. He was still keeping some strength to deal with any unexpected situation. The power of lightning in his spear continued growing.
The pressure Bisuo felt from the spear grew stronger and stronger. Su Yu seemed to have sensed the threat as well. He suddenly yelled, "Bastard from the silkwyrm race, remove your silk or I'll be sure to drag you down with me before dying!"
Then, he used more strength and attacked with his saber, willpower, and characters, severing numerous strands of silk. However, that was not enough to free him. As the power within the spear grew more and more intense, the tribulation character started pulsing faster and faster. Noticing that, Su Yu concluded that this was enough. It was highly unlikely that Lei Jue would have enough strength left to escape after releasing an attack of this level.
At that thought, a burst of divine power suddenly rippled out of Su Yu's body. That divine power held a suppressive effect on Lei Jue, causing him to stiffen slightly. That was the power of the first divine race!
The power started gathering the divine power in the air. Then, with the Sky Sundering Saber, a large amount of saber qi was pulled over as well. But that was not enough for Su Yu. He swallowed a drop of blood essence, causing a burst of Mountainsea power to erupt within his body.
"Sky Sundering!"
His roar reverberated in the area.
Finally!
If Lei Jue could survive even this attack, Su Yu would be willing to prostrate himself with admiration. Before the saber attack itself was even released, the surrounding net was already torn apart from the sheer pressure emitted by the blade.
Boom!
