If anyone else told her that, she would never have believed it.
Since Su Yu is the one who told her, however, she believed it without question.
“Whizz…!”
Su Yu activated his divine power. He created a clone of himself, who abruptly barged through the exit.
There was already a hidden trap at the exit. As a result, the long-prepared spell formation was activated immediately.
The spell formation released several light columns that were as thick as someone’s thumb, weaving together to form a fine and closely woven net. The net penetrated Su Yu’s clone as if they were flashes of lightning.
The clone was immediately sliced into thumb-sized cubes by the net, and the pieces scattered all over the ground.
Su Yu only started flying towards the exit after the spell formation was activated.
“Hmph! They were actually escaping from this exit.” As expected, two Level-Three deities with a strong cultivation base appeared from both sides of the cave exit. Their bodies shined brightly with divine light.
On the left side, a yellow-robed elder said, “Notify the rest immediately to come to this exit and block them!”
On the right, a middle-aged bald man with a fat head and big ears smiled coldly, “It is just one person from the Wizard Tribe, the both of us would be sufficient to handle this.”
“Swish——!”
At that moment, Su Yu and Wuxin flew out in succession.
With a slightly fierce gaze in his eyes, Su Yu did not dare to be careless. Suppressing his injuries, he activated the aggressive fighting power of Heaven-fighting Three Strokes.
The immense fighting power surged turbulently like a tsunami rushing out from the cave.
The yellow-robed elder and the obese middle-aged man were taken aback. In response, they immediately activated their divine power together and condensed it into a defensive wall.
“Snap——!”
Struck by the power, their defense started to crack in three breath’s time.
The face of the yellow-robed elder changed. “Get out of the way!”
“Swish——!”
Both of them managed to get out of the way. The invincible fighting power shredded the wall of condensed divine power into pieces before charging towards the sky.
Su Yu and Wuxin took this opportunity to break out of the seal and speed off in the direction of Fan Capital.
“Hurry up and go after them!” The old man in yellow said.
With doubts in his eyes, the obese middle-aged man can’t help but wonder. “That young fellow… Why does he look so familiar? Where did I see him before?”
Upon hearing that, a bewildered expression came across the yellow-robed elder’s face. “You thought so too? I thought it was just my imagination!”
They looked at each other with rather surprised expressions.
All of a sudden, the obese middle-aged man felt as if a bolt of lightning flashed across his mind and illuminated his heart; he suddenly remembered where he saw Su Yu. Shocked, he said, “Elder Huang. Isn’t he Su Yu, the most wanted man who was jointly listed by the Four Great Empires?”
Hearing that, the yellow-robed elder was also shocked, “So it’s him! No wonder he looked so familiar!”
His old eyes immediately sparkled with extreme delight.
“Su Yu, the world’s number one wanted man who is jointly listed by the Four Great Empires! If anyone captures him alive, they would be able to cultivate themselves using secret techniques of the Four Great Imperial Sacred Faction! They would also be able to receive lifetime offerings from an Imperial Sacred Faction of his choice, as well as an endless supply of cultivation materials!” The yellow-robed elder recited fluently what he knew by heart about the reward for capturing Su Yu.
These were temptations that no deity can resist.
Even a Level-Three deity would not be able to resist such attractive rewards.
Their breathing got heavier. Their pupils constricted and sparkled with extreme delight, and their hearts were pounding nonstop as if they saw a great opportunity that was made for them.
The obese middle-aged man realized a problem and asked, “Should we notify the commander?”
The yellow-robed elder was extremely hesitant. He felt uneasy and reluctant as well.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Ah, forget it. Whether we can be wealthy and reach the top of the divine path will depend on if we can seize this opportunity or not!”
Fear flashed across the obese middle-aged man’s face, yet he got carried away by the big rewards. He said, “Yes! Since it is an opportunity, risks are inevitable. Let’s go for it!”
They looked at each other and decided not to pass on the news about Su Yu’s appearance, hoping to pursue him on their own.
“Swish——!”
Soon after they left, three shadows appeared from within the cave.
To their surprise, it was the Blood Demon who was still recovering from a grave injury. Accompanying him were the Giant Eagle and Duckbill Beast.
“Hmph. It seems like he has made plenty of enemies!” The Blood Demon held on to his painful chest and sneered coldly. “This is good. We can imitate the oriole, and then wait quietly for the mantis to appear.”
The Giant Eagle and Duckbill Beast let out a human-like sneer and followed them quietly.
Their escape went on for half a day.
In the midst of it, Su Yu used Yin Yang Wings of Supreme Pole once. It had almost depleted whatever divine power he previously restored.
Even though that’s the case, they still did not manage to escape.
After half a day’s worth of a difficult flight attempt to escape, they were eventually caught.
“Whizz——!”
With one in front and another at the back, both the yellow-robed elder and the obese middle-aged man blocked Su Yu’s paths.
Both were a little surprised yet remained extremely cautious.
Su Yu does have incredible power, just as rumored.
They almost lost him, even with their cultivation base! If Su Yu hadn’t looked like he was gravely injured, they probably would have let him escaped.
“Su Yu! You can’t escape anymore!” The yellow-robed elder shouted. “As people of the God Realm, it is a major sin to collude with enemies from the Wizard Tribe. It is not too late yet for you to turn back now!”
The obese middle-aged voice was slightly less tensed as he said, “If you are willing to leave with us, we will both clarify for you with the God Realm and ensure your safety.”
Wuxin remained unaffected with a cold expression, unconvinced by the obese middle-aged man’s offer.
“Oh. So I leave with you, and then you can get the rewards from the Four Great Imperial Sacred Faction?” Su Yu replied.
The two of them looked like they were stumped. They never thought that, since he was hiding in the Lost Nation, Su Yu would be so knowledgeable about what was happening outside.
“Since you know everything, then we are not afraid to tell you! If you come with us and obey, you will suffer less physical pain. If not… hmph. Several people in the God Realm despise you and can’t wait for us to brutally torture you.” Among those people, the King of Xue Nation of the Northern Region hated him the most.
Su Yu had killed the Royal Family of Xue Nation of the Northern Region, leaving behind no survivors.
With such profound hatred and blood feud, it was natural for him to hate Su Yu to the core.
“You’ll need to have the ability to catch me first!” Su Yu said.
The yellow-robed elder and the obese man exchanged looks. They moved together and attacked from both sides, which brought about a thunderbolt attack that Su Yu couldn’t defend himself from.
“Bang!”
At that moment, a shadow flickered across and stopped. With both hands clasped together, invisible waves of sorcery energy swept by.
The obese middle-aged man had a solemn look, not daring to be careless. He took out a section of the treasured Soul-stabilizing Wood and hung it around his neck.
The attacking waves of sorcery energy were weakened immediately.
He carefully managed to dispel the sorcery energy, though with some difficulties.
The obese middle-aged man shouted with a solemn look, “Elder Huang, make it a quick battle. This witch is no ordinary Level-Three wizard. She is very dangerous, and I won’t be able to hold her off for too long!”
As Elder Huang went straight towards Su Yu, he said, “Don’t worry. This is just like an arrow at the end of its flight, so I am more than enough to settle this!”
“Swish!”
Elder Huang attacked as if he were a lightning strike. Su Yu “could not react in time” and was held down by Elder Huang.
Su Yu let out a grunt from the extreme pain he felt in his shoulder blades.
Elder Huang was surprised that he managed to capture Su Yu without any resistance from the latter. He was quickly overcome with joy as if he had found himself a great opportunity.
“Stop this instant! If not, I would kill him right now!” Elder Huang shouted at Wuxin.
Fearing for Su Yu’s life, Wuxin held back and immediately gave up attacking the obese middle-aged man. With an anxious expression, she shouted, “Let go of him! If you dare to lay a single finger on him, I swear that I would not let you leave the Lost Nation alive!”
The obese middle-aged man joined the yellow-robed elder. Feeling at ease, he said, “Hmph! You’ll have to be able to find us first! Elder Huang, let’s go now to avoid any problems.”
Elder Huang nodded. He took off, prepared to fly away with Su Yu in tow.
As they were leaving, three waves of tyrannical aura descended quickly from afar without any warning.
Looking up, a creature that was half-human and half-eagle dived down, carrying two other live spirits with it.
Both the yellow-robed elder and the obese middle-aged man were shocked. “What live spirits are those?”
They were neither a deity nor a wizard; no one knew what they were.
But regardless of what they were, it was obvious that they came with ill intent.
“Get into formation and defend!” Both the yellow-robed elder and the obese middle-aged man teamed up to put up a defense.
“Screech——!”
Giant Eagle let out a bright scream, as its huge body went forward instead of retreating. It dived down and streaked across the sky at a faster speed.
“Snap——!”
The defense they condensed out of their divine power immediately shattered, while they were both were pushed back by the Giant Eagle’s power.
Su Yu, who was captured by them, broke free of their grasp. Wuxin reacted quickly and returned to protect him again.
She looked at Su Yu with a surprised and impressed expression.
She couldn’t believe that Su Yu was caught because he didn’t react in time. It was clear that he intended to lure out the three ferocious beasts who were pursuing him.
The three ferocious beasts were most likely waiting to be the fisherman in the fight between a snipe and a clam. They were waiting for both sides to lose, so they can come in and deal with the situation easily.
Unfortunately, Su Yu did not do as they wish and intentionally got himself captured.
If that was the case, then why would they just sit back and watch Su Yu be taken away? They would obviously appear and fight with the two strong men of the Divine Path.
The Blood Demon jumped off from Giant Eagle. With his eyes focused on Su Yu, he said, “Second Brother, Third Brother, take care of the two Divine Path martial artists. Leave Su Yu and the witch to me.”
Despite the grave injuries, the Blood Demon still had strong and unmatchable power.
“Drip, Drop,”
A drop of grey blood flowed down the vertebrae in his palm. As if it was being stimulated, the vertebrae emitted an even stronger Power of Asura.
Wuxin’s cold eyes flashed as she jumped forward. “I’ll block him. You go on ahead, and I will catch up with you!”
She could see that it would be best not to use the jade tombstone before such a critical moment. It was something that would hurt both the others and themselves.
She was confident that she had the combat power against a gravely injured Blood Demon.
“Sorcery Roams the World!” Wuxin cast a spell. Her body divided into two, then two into four, and then four into eight.
The eight figures simultaneously performed the same spell, “Life-Ending Curse!”
This curse was the most powerful spell that can be practiced by the Helm Leader of the Lady Saint Temple. It possessed the dangerous ability to instantly capture souls.
When used together with Sorcery Roams the World, eight split figures would cast the curse at the same time; the power of the resulting curse would’ve been frightening.
However, the Blood Demon simply held on to the vertebrae and swept his hand coldly.
An unmatched Power of Asura shot out. Not only did it wipe out all eight spells, but it also shattered the eight figures as well.
One of the shattered figures was Wuxin herself.
Her body was torn to pieces, which gave way for a blood rain that filled the skies.
At the last minute, grey-colored energy emitted from the flesh and blood. It brought the flesh together and completely restored her body
This was similar to the regenerative ability of an octopus.
However, Wuxin’s face was pale, and her sorcery energy was exhausted. She had become so weak that she lost her ability to fight.
She struggled to support herself. Breathing heavily and with cold sweat all over her forehead, she looked apologetically at Su Yu. “I’m sorry that I couldn’t help you.”
Su Yu walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and said, “It’s alright. This is the best possible outcome; you didn’t die.”
After he finished speaking to her, Su Yu held on to the jade tombstone and stared at the Blood Demon. “In every sense of the word, you will die here.”
With those words, he crushed the tombstone!
The tombstone broke into pieces with a snap, but there was no eruption of any powerful force.
However, everyone suddenly detected a ferocious aura nearby and shuddered. It felt as if an ancient ferocious beast was quickly awakening from a deep slumber.
