Chapter 428 Hatred
Over the past three days, more than five battles took place, and Su Jiuzhou encountered the weakest enemy every time. He didn’t think it was all by coincidence.
Moreover, when Su Zheng’s hand was torn off in the first battle, it was Su Jiuzhou who restored it. He had to admit that she was better at medical skills…
“Master has a keen eye. She has recognized that Su Jiuzhou is a phenom…”
Su Xianyun thought silently, turning his head to the hourgla.s.s placed on the ground.
Time pa.s.sed slowly. No one would like to think about anything else but leaving this treacherous place as soon as possible.
The number of enemies they had seen in the past few days alone had significantly exceeded the number of disciples who came to the tea party. Was this still a test? We were sent here to die!
Seeing the water in the hourgla.s.s was about to finish dropping, Su Zheng could not help but mutter, “It’s close, it’s close…”
Tick-tock!
Tick-tock!
…
After the last drop of water fell, three days were over!
The hearts of Su Xianyun and the other two stopped beating at this moment. They were expecting being expelled from the s.p.a.ce.
But after quite a while, nothing happened. The cave remained the same, so did the humid air inhaled… Nothing had changed.
Su Xianyun’s face turned gradually pale, and his body began to tremble slightly. He took out the jade slip, and squeezed it so fiercely that the jade slip broke into halves with a cracking sound.
“How could this happen?”
Su Zheng s.n.a.t.c.hed the jade slip with his eyes full of doubt, “Why are we still here? Could it be possible that the three days were not over?”
Su Wenbing’s face turned pale and he muttered, “It’s all a lie. We’re trapped here.”
“Impossible!”
Su Zheng’s eyes went red as he stood up suddenly and yelled, “How could the Master give up on us? We are the three most talented disciples in the second branch! This will never happen!”
“That’s annoying…”
Su Li sighed. She just wanted to achieve her goals through the tea party and didn’t expect so many unforeseen events.
At this time, a burst of footsteps came densely from outside the cave. Su Zheng and the other two stopped their talks and gazed at the entrance covered by vines. There must be over a hundred people outside.
An alien centuria!
The flush on their faces faded, while the same thought arose.
“c.r.a.p!”
“We’re done!”
Su Xianyun trembled and took a deep breath, “Let’s go out! We won’t die without a fight!”
Su Li looked at him in amazement. There were not many fools like him nowadays.
Although Su Zheng and Su Wenbing were trembling badly, they managed to straighten their backs after hearing Su Xianyun’s words. They lifted the vines and walked out of the cave.
Those alien pract.i.tioners, who had surrounded the cave, laughed loudly when seeing the four coming out. They talked a lot. Although the four couldn’t understand the words, they knew that they must be mocked now.
Su Xianyun and the other two, overwhelmed by despair, stood still and were stunned.
How could they survive a fight against so many enemies?
Su Xianyun took a deep breath and calmed down. His flying sword was taken out of the sheath, floating in front of him. He roared with red eyes, “We’ll split up! Kill more if you can’t escape! Don’t let those evil pract.i.tioners look down upon righteous pract.i.tioners like us!”
“No need to escape.”
Su Li, who had been silent, finally spoke up, and looked into the distance.
What?
Su Xianyun was slightly dazed. He then noticed the chaos in the rear of the alien troops. As a giant fiery blade swept through the crowd, a dozen people were cut in two at the waist and blood spilled over!
“Hahahaha! You alien weaklings, watch out my sword!”
A burst of wild laughter sounded. Su Xianyun recognized a familiar voice transmission and got overjoyed, “It’s seniors from Qingshui Circle. We are saved!”
Only pract.i.tioners of Yuanying Realm were able to transform materials into blades.
“Don’t get happy too soon.”
Su Li poured cold water on Su Xianyun and he immediately calmed down. He stared at Su Li.
“Junior sister apprentice Jiuzhou, how could you know that the seniors of Yuanying Realm will come right behind the enemies to rescue us?”
Su Xianyun could not help but ask. Before he got an answer, he heard a furious voice from the alien troop. He then turned around, finding that a scarlet pract.i.tioner with a height of about two meters was colliding with the fiery blade.
“Defended?”
“They also have someone comparable with our Yuanying Realm senior! The senior alone was unable to fight against so many enemies, but we can hardly help him. What shall we do?”
Su Xianyun and the others, worried, concentrated on the battle. They didn’t notice that Su Li approached the enemies suddenly.
“Blockhead, make a move now! I’m dying!!”
Su Yang, surrounded by giant fiery blades, cursed fiercely. He struggled to fight back, but the attacks kept coming from all sides, especially the two-meter-tall scarlet pract.i.tioner. Every time that pract.i.tioner struck Su Yang with his tremendous power, Su Yang could feel his organs shuddering. Blood had drenched his clothes and dripped down along the corners.
The whole ground shook with his words. Numerous giant spikes emerged from the ground without any indication and pierced through about forty or fifty alien pract.i.tioners.
Su Yang barely avoided the spikes attacking indiscriminately, gasping for breath. He could hardly speak, “Blockhead, you almost killed me! d.a.m.n you!”
The scarlet pract.i.tioner saw the hundred-man troop had suffered a heavy loss and only less than thirty men were left. His eyes were filled with endless rage and all his muscles began to shake violently.
The blood-red light faded as he trembled, but a ray of golden light emerged!
When it appeared, Su Yang’s body instinctively shuddered, as if he was targeted by something extremely terrifying.
“What the h.e.l.l?”
Su Yang opened his eyes wide and controlled his body to step back quickly. He sensed a deadly crisis. An alien pract.i.tioner in this state should never be confronted head-on!
“Crack!”
The scarlet pract.i.tioner glared at Su Yang, and his huge figure abruptly disappeared after he roared.
At this moment, Su Yang’s heart stopped beating and a huge pressure came from behind, but he could not dodge the attack!
“Move!!”
Su Yang shouted furiously with his bones bursting and blood spurting out. After paying such a price, he could turn around in time to put his hands in front of his chest for defending.
At the same time, Su Mu also appeared from the camouflage tactical matrix. He spat out a mouthful of blood and forced his hands to make a magic gesture. A thick ice wall appeared between Su Yang and the pract.i.tioner and stretched into the sky right before Su Yang’s nose.
The next instant, the fists with a golden light arrived finally!
Boom！
A huge shock wave blew a gale and those alien pract.i.tioners who were close enough spat out blood and retreated. Su Xianyun and the others couldn’t open their eyes even though they were further away.
“How powerful that alien pract.i.tioner is! Who wins now…”
Su Xianyun opened his eyes and was instantly dumbfounded. He saw a black veil fluttering with the wind.
“Su Jiuzhou? When did she…?”
Crack!
Su Yang’s arms were twisted, and he flew out backward like a kite with a broken string. He hit the mountain rocks hard and spat out a mouthful of blood. His pupils became focused again after dilating for an instant. He then struggled out of the rocks and rushed again to that b.l.o.o.d.y figure.
Su Mu looked at the scarlet pract.i.tioner fiercely and ice crystals emerged on his face, sparkling. As he exhaled the freezing air, the vapor surrounded him was condensed into sharp arrows shooting at the back of that pract.i.tioner, but they were stopped by his skin.
“Both his power and his defense increased greatly…”
Su Mu’s ice-cold eyes were gloomy. Although he made no action, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped and ice under his feet spread out quickly. In the blink of an eye, several alien pract.i.tioners surrounding him were frozen into ice sculptures, which cracked into pieces as the wind blew.
The scarlet pract.i.tioner did not even look at the unlucky ones. He broke the ice with his inexhaustible strength of pneuma and blood.
As the ice was smashed into flying dusts, the b.l.o.o.d.y figure disappeared again.
Su Mu’s pupils shrank. He had just covered his body with ice crust when he felt a sharp pain on his head. The next moment, he was crushed into the ground by mountainous strength and only his upper body could be seen on the ground.
Su Mu coughed.
Blood came from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. He felt dizzy and the ice crust could no longer be maintained. The scarlet pract.i.tioner raised his fists over his head, and the deadly pressure arose again.
“Blockhead!”
Su Yang’s eyes opened widely, but he was unable to save him.
At this critical moment, a phantom with a black veil suddenly appeared beside the b.l.o.o.d.y figure.
Su Yang’s blood-stained face froze for a moment, and his eyes became moist. He shouted with all his strength.
“Senior Su, save him!”
Su Mu raised his head blankly and saw a scene he would never forget in the rest of his life.
A young girl dressed in white under a black veil came like an immortal. She stretched out her gentle hand, grasped the back of the b.l.o.o.d.y figure, and threw it backward violently!
The alien pract.i.tioner who had shown his great power let out a scream and was thrown into the sky.
Su Li exerted some strength on her toes and flew to the pract.i.tioner in the sky.
The scarlet pract.i.tioner stared at Su Li with a ferocious face. The deep hatred in his eyes made Su Li frown slightly. She was about to verify something when she suddenly sensed the mess inside him.
Her expression changed slightly and she then kicked the pract.i.tioner higher into the sky.
Then, the powerful scarlet pract.i.tioner exploded like a firework.
Su Mu was more confused…
They couldn’t defeat this enemy even with their full strength, but she… Was that pract.i.tioner so weak?
So Su Yang was telling the truth?
b.l.o.o.d.y rain was dropping. Those alien pract.i.tioners were stunned for a moment. However, they did not scatter and flee but roared in despair. They rushed to Su Li and began to acc.u.mulate the power for self-destruction.
Su Li frowned. She quickly controlled a few, but a dozen succeeded in self-destruction, setting off bursts of shock waves.
An unspeakable sadness spread out silently from the blood rain.
After sealing the pneuma and blood of several captives, Su Li waved her hand and freed Su Mu from the ground.
Su Yang limped over with his arms hanging down. Some white bones could be seen on his body, but he did not even care. He grinned, “Senior, have we completed our test? Our strength may not worth mentioning for you, but as long as there is an opportunity, even if we have to go through the most severe trials, we will improve our strength as fast as possible!”
“What test?”
Su Mu wiped the blood off his face and asked, confused.
Su Yang grinned mysteriously and transmitted a voice to him, “It’s a good thing anyway.”
Carrier runes were not banned in this s.p.a.ce. Su Yang wanted to ride Su Li’s coattails, so he had been contacting Su Li in the past three days until Su Li said,
“You can follow me, but you should show your strength first.”
That was the story.
Su Li looked at the sky silently. After a long while, she stretched out her hand and caught a drop of light-gold blood, and murmured, with n.o.body knowing that she was asking herself or others.
“Why?”
She could not understand what kind of hatred could make them explode their bodies without hesitation.
That b.l.o.o.d.y-shadow pract.i.tioner had a chance to survive…
