Chapter 137: Su Ye Has Arrived!

Page 1 of 3

Su Ye was going to kill!

He knew he had to take advantage of this rare opportunity, while the Gu King was “sharpening his blade,” to begin eliminating his enemies.

Otherwise, once this chance was lost, he would be placed at a considerable disadvantage.

“Brat, I don’t have to kill you to subdue you!”

Miao Ba snorted coldly and abruptly withdrew the ox-horn knife in his hand. He was deeply wary of the Gu King sharpening his blade, but he had absolute confidence that he could kill Su Ye with gu poison.

His face was already covered in various terrifying tattoos. Now that his eyes gleamed with murderous intent, he looked even more frightening. Suddenly, he tore open his clothes, revealing bottles of every size hanging beneath them, all of them black.

“Let me show you what gu poison feels like!”

As he spoke, he reached for one of the bottles and began to open it.

Clang!

Su Ye lunged forward in an instant, driving the dagger in his hand straight down at Miao Ba’s head. As he surged forward in fury, layer upon layer of white radiance swept outward. From behind him came a sudden roar, and the phantom of a flaming qilin formed with a thunderous boom.

At a glance, it looked as though a fire qilin were pouncing upon Miao Ba.

Ding!

Su Ye’s dagger struck down, only to tremble violently. To his astonishment, he discovered that Miao Ba had blocked the blade with a single finger. The dagger’s edge had pierced against Miao Ba’s finger, yet it felt as though it had struck iron.

All five of Miao Ba’s fingers were covered in black, callused growths. No one knew what he had soaked them in over the years, but they resembled the claws of an eagle.

Bang!

Miao Ba suddenly kicked upward, and the cultivation within his body erupted.

The eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!

Su Ye raised an arm to block. When the two collided, a burst of light exploded between them and rippled outward.

The martial artists watching from a distance stared in astonishment, not daring to approach. The killing intent erupting from both sides was genuine—they truly intended to kill each other. If another death occurred, it would certainly provoke the Gu King sharpening his blade.

These martial artists did not believe they possessed Su Ye’s ability. If they stepped forward, they would be killed as well.

“Thunderous Momentum—”

Su Ye let out a low shout. He landed gracefully from a backflip, and the instant his feet touched the ground, he borrowed the force to charge forward once more.

This time, his furious figure seemed to skim across the ground.

Swish, swish, swish!

His feet traced an eerie pattern. In an instant, it was as though three shadows had split from him, attacking Miao Ba from three different directions.

Facing an opponent at the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm, Su Ye felt no fear. But neither did he dare underestimate Miao Ba. Miao Ba was a gu sorcerer, and his greatest strength lay not in his cultivation, but in his gu arts.

“Hmph. If the Gu King can’t kill you, then I will!”

The bottle in Miao Ba’s hand shook violently.

Sizzle!

Su Ye was still in midair when he saw a strange light flash before his eyes. A thunderous boom rang out in his head, and agonizing pain spread through him.

It felt as though boiling water had been poured over his entire body.

The torment was so terrifying that it resembled a nightmare, even driving him to thoughts of suicide. His eyes turned blood-red. He felt as though his entire body had been cooked through; if he rubbed himself hard enough, he might be able to scrape away an entire layer of flesh.

“Heh heh, brat. How does it feel?” Miao Ba chuckled, a sinister chill passing through his eyes. He suddenly stepped forward and kicked Su Ye away.

Bang!

Su Ye rolled across the ground. He did not know what he had struck, but every bone in his body throbbed with splitting pain. That pain, however, allowed him to recover a sliver of consciousness.

“Three Thousand Flame-Yellow Tribulations—”

Boom!

Within his sea of consciousness, the words “The Flame-Yellow Multitude is obscure; the Gate of the Mysterious Feminine!” once again emitted a radiant glow. With a resounding boom, it drove all the strange agony from his body.

Su Ye finally recovered. When he looked down at his hands, he saw that they were still flushed red. It seemed the sensation of having boiling water poured over him had not been an illusion.

This gu poison was far too vicious!

But Su Ye had no time to think about it. He rolled over where he lay and, with another bang, threw himself at Miao Ba once more.

“Thunder Slash—”

Sizzle!

In that instant, the heavenly thunder in Su Ye’s hand transformed into the shape of a furious blade, accompanied by a sharp, grating sound.

“What? You weren’t poisoned by the gu?”

Miao Ba had been striding forward smugly, but when he saw Su Ye erupt into motion, he could only raise an arm to block.

Crack!

Thunder Slash swept past, severing Miao Ba’s wrist with a single stroke.

“Ah!”

Miao Ba’s weathered face twisted violently. His severed hand fell before him, and he staggered backward in terror.

Another wave of screams rose from the surrounding crowd.

“Why does your Miao family want to kill me?”

Su Ye spun around sharply and swung Thunder Slash again. With a sharp hiss, he slashed across Miao Ba’s severed hand, this time cutting directly into the arm.

“You little beast—”

Miao Ba showed no intention of begging for mercy. With one hand, he reached into his clothes and pulled out a second bottle.

This bottle was unusual. Its shape resembled a gourd.

From the desperate ferocity in Miao Ba’s eyes, it was clearly his ultimate weapon.

“If you won’t tell me, then die!”

Boom!

Su Ye feared no gu poison. He lunged forward, leaping over Miao Ba’s head. Both feet slammed into Miao Ba’s shoulders and chest, sending him crashing backward.

Then Su Ye brought Thunder Slash down again and again upon Miao Ba on the ground.

His strikes formed the shape of an X, and even Su Ye himself had no idea how many times he had swung the blade. His arms had become a dense blur of shadows.

Slash, slash, slash!

In the blink of an eye, Miao Ba had been cut into a horrific, unrecognizable state.

Every martial artist present witnessed it. Their pupils contracted, and their hearts nearly stopped beating. Su Ye’s methods were simply too terrifying, too cruel.

He was clearly a ruthless man!

Miao Quan and several other gu sorcerers nearby let out strange cries and charged forward.

Boom!

At that moment, another peal of thunder suddenly rang out in the sky. An ancient Miao blade formed from light appeared and came crashing down upon Su Ye.

“The Gu King’s Wrath!”

“Get out of the way!”

Amid the chaos, everyone remembered that any death would inevitably provoke the Gu King sharpening his blade.

Boom!

This strike was even more powerful than the previous one.

Even the Miao family martial artists who had rushed forward were caught in its range. The two warriors at the very front had no chance to dodge. The Gu King’s Miao blade cleaved them into pieces.

“Ah… Run!”

At last, some people reacted. They realized that only Su Ye could withstand this terrifying wrath of the Gu King. For anyone else, charging forward was nothing but suicide.

“It’s impossible! Impossible! Our cultivation is higher than Su Ye’s—why is he unharmed?”

Though some cried out in unwilling disbelief, most had already begun fleeing for their lives.

Given the situation, Su Ye could kill them, but they could not kill Su Ye.

The Gu King’s blade had just killed two martial artists while also blasting nearly ten others who had charged in from all sides into the air. They landed heavily and rolled across the ground, gravely wounded.

Su Ye slowly steadied himself. Once again, the ancient characters within his sea of consciousness had shielded him.

“If none of you will speak, I’ll kill one. If ten of you won’t speak, I’ll kill ten! You people from the Miao family of Buddha Field Peak want to kill me? Then I’ll wipe out every last one of you!”

Su Ye showed no mercy. He rushed toward one of the martial artists, seized him by the throat, and shouted, “Speak! Why do you want to kill me?”

“I—I… You little beast! You killed us, and our clan leader…”

Sizzle!

Su Ye could not be bothered to waste words on him. Thunder Slash flashed from his hand, severing the man’s head.

The martial artists who had been rolling on the ground nearby saw this and somehow found the strength to rise and flee.

Su Ye spun around, caught up with one of them, and kicked him to the ground.

Rumble!

Because Su Ye had killed again, the Gu King’s Wrath appeared once more.

A third Gu King’s Miao blade thundered down upon Su Ye’s back. Su Ye had been walking and had not even looked behind him. The blow struck him with tremendous force, yet he merely swayed slightly. He suffered no injury at all.

To everyone who witnessed it, this scene was even more terrifying than a god of slaughter.

The group fled desperately, scrambling over one another to escape, like a flock of sheep being hunted by a starving wolf.

“Su Ye is coming! He’s here to kill us!”

“You damned gu sorcerers! How did you provoke him? Tell us! Don’t come any closer!”
