Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1195: Butcher (3)
Chapter 1195: Butcher (3)
Without a change in his expression, Su Yu looked at the two remaining human Sunmoons and said, "Are you seeing this? That Invincible does not care about you. The moment he sees that you can't escape, he will burn your sea of willpower and kill you. Tell us his identity and you may yet survive..."
One of them wailed, "We're unrelated to him! We're only here to help Liu Wenyan! How can the pavilion attack us?"
"Help?" Su Yu laughed, "Come on. Take your mask off and show me your face."
"Profound Nine, you will die miserably! How dare the pavilion interfere in the affairs of humanity? When our Invincibles return, you will die! Everyone from the pavilion will die!"
Ye Hongyan looked at Liu Wenyan questioningly. Were these two allies?
Liu Wenyan frowned slightly and sent a voice transmission, "We do nothing."
"But..."
Ye Hongyan was quite a righteous person. If they were really allies, she couldn't watch and do nothing when they were in trouble. Since the late-stage Sunmoons of the pavilion were currently occupied, she might be able to save them and escape together.
Liu Wenyan gave it some thought and said, "I advise the two of you to take your masks off. If you're really here to help, I am willing to plead your case with the pavilion. This will be considered a part of the mission my student issued. Lord Profound Nine, is this acceptable?"
Lord? Su Yu, who was in a mischievous mood, started wondering what else his Teacher Liu would call him next. When he disguised himself as Cui Lang previously, Teacher Liu had addressed him as Brother Cui.
Su Yu said, "Of course."
He did not believe that these two were really here to help. But it did not matter as knowing who they were would still help. At the very least, he could figure out their origins.
Then again, it also didn't matter too much if they were unwilling to take their masks off. As Sunmoons, they weren't nobodies. With their deaths, it would only be a matter of time before he found out who they were.
But this wasn't foolproof since some Sunmoons had a tendency to stay in seclusion for a prolonged period of time. These Sunmoons could be dead for a very long time with none the wiser.
These two had been fighting with common cultivation methods so it wouldn't be easy to determine their identities based on how they fought. Meanwhile, the battle between the Pseudo Invincibles continued escalating in intensity. Not far away, the eighth elder had just blasted a Sunmoon apart with a roar.
The sky was raining moons. In the blink of an eye, a few more Sunmoons had died. Titanic Strength and Earthfire seemed exceedingly capable when fighting a winning battle. Together, they had killed several Sunmoons after joining the battle.
At this point, only ten myriad race Sunmoons were left. The two human Sunmoons were coughing blood nonstop after receiving First Profound's attacks, but they remained stubborn and refused to remove their masks.
At this point, a certain realization dawned on Su Yu. If these two were also the subordinates of the traitor, they would have died by now. It was more likely that they were the people of some other prefectures, here only due to greed. That was why they had stubbornly refused to remove their masks.
Su Yu sneered. They weren't the subordinates of the traitor. Which prefectures did they come from? Perhaps they came from two different prefectures, or perhaps they came from the holy land.
Once again, the eighth elder sent him a voice transmission, "We need to leave now. I can sense more experts arriving."
However, ten of the myriad race Sunmoons were still alive, including all four of the late-stage Sunmoons. It wasn't surprising that more experts would come to reinforce these people.
Previously, the myriad races had thought that one Pseudo Invincible would be enough for this task. However, that Pseudo Invincible was kept busy by the First Divine Sect master. Thus, they were probably sending more top experts over.
After a short silence, Su Yu sent a voice transmission, "Everyone, attack with all your strength. All of us will attack this time. Kill everyone below the seventh-stage Sunmoon Realm. Eighth Elder, do your best to kill the rest. Leave Liu Wenyan's group to the First Divine Sect master. The next Pseudo Invincible to arrive will keep him busy."
"Leaving them to First Divine Sect master?"
The eighth elder gave it some thought and nodded. This sounded like a good idea. Otherwise, the sect master might flee, thinking that Liu Wenyan was in good hands. Since he had appeared, he was most certainly here to protect Liu Wenyan.
Killing or leaving with Liu Wenyan would only turn the pavilion into the target of everyone else. In that case, leaving Liu Wenyan with the sect master was indeed the appropriate course of action.
"Sure."
They all attacked, driving the intensity of the battle to a whole new level. Su Yu wasn’t idle either. He was busy collecting and extracting blood essence.
When he noticed that one of the human Sunmoons was on the verge of dying, he threw a punch and blasted the human apart coldly. Behind him, Ye Hongyan continued hesitating, wondering if she should make a move against Su Yu.
She was still unsure if these pavilion members were allies or enemies. She was quite infuriated to see a human dying in the hand of a pavilion member.
On the other hand, Liu Wenyan appeared a lot more indifferent. He had persuaded them to take their masks off several times, but they remained stubborn. It was clear they were no friends of the multiple character faction. In that case, their deaths were of no concern to him.
He held the same opinion as Su Yu. These humans were even more hateful than the myriad races. Each of them deserved death. In fact, he hated these people so much he would have killed them himself if the pavilion members hadn't arrived when they did.
Finally, an incomparably powerful presence started approaching them. Once again, Su Yu studied the battlefield. He noted that almost all of their targets were already dealt with. Previously, there were dozens of Sunmoons in the area. Now, only a few were left. And even these surviving Sunmoons were struggling at death's door. If this continued for a tiny bit longer, even these surviving Sunmoons would die as well.
Su Yu wasn't too bothered that there were still a few survivors. He laughed and shouted, "First Divine Sect master, or Lord Nan Wujiang, to be precise. We won't be able to keep protecting Liu Wenyan's group after this. They're yours now."
Then, he issued his order, "Retreat!"
With that, the eighth elder manipulated space and instantly moved Liu Wenyan's group behind the First Divine Sect master. With a roaring laughter, he collected what flesh and blood he could from the dead Sunmoons before vanishing into thin air with the rest of the pavilion experts.
The group of over twenty Sunmoons had left just as suddenly as they had appeared. During that short period of time, they had killed twenty-one Sunmoons. Twenty-four Sunmoons had arrived to kill Liu Wenyan, with five of them being late-stage Sunmoons. Only three dying late-stage Sunmoons remained.
Moons were practically raining from the sky today. Never before had so many Sunmoons died within a single day in the Human Realm. The battlefield was in a mess, with space itself in disorder and the sky dyed red.
With a roar, the First Divine Sect master pushed the Pseudo Invincible he was facing away with a palm strike before turning. After grabbing Liu Wenyan's group, he vanished as well.
Less than a second after that, a Pseudo Invincible from the divine race arrived. With a frosty expression, the devil Pseudo Invincible glanced at the distant eighth-stage Sunmoon devil who had yet to die before saying, "Go after First Divine. He has Liu Wenyan."
The two Pseudo Invincibles said nothing and instantly started the pursuit.
***
Somewhere else, the eighth elder spread his senses around. After a moment, he laughed and said, "You're right, Profound Nine. They're going after First Divine."
This felt great!
Even after killing so many people, they were free of consequences. Instead of going after them, the two Pseudo Invincibles were targeting the First Divine Sect master instead. Liu Wenyan was basically the most effective bait around.
Anyone with him would turn into everyone's target. All the pavilion experts were in a great mood. They had not suffered much losses even after killing over twenty Sunmoons. Apart from some injuries here and there, they were perfectly fine.

Su Yu smiled, "Elder, you may return with First Profound Elder, Titanic Strength, and Earthfire and kill the three surviving Sunmoons. Naturally, we will deny all involvement. It doesn't matter what the two Pseudo Invincibles have to say. We will deny everything."
"..."
The others stared at him with stupefaction.
Su Yu laughed, "Since the two Pseudo Invincibles are not there anymore, why not? Every single one of them is a potential competitor for the ruin. The more we kill, the less competition we will face. First Divine is there to take all the blame so there is nothing to fear."
Hearing those words, the eighth elder grinned.
"Sure."
With that, the four Sunmoons vanished again. By leaving the three gravely injured Sunmoons behind, the two Pseudo Invincibles were practically inviting the pavilion experts to return and kill the three. In less than a minute, intense undulations erupted from the direction of the three surviving Sunmoons.
With one Pseudo Invincible and three late-stage Sunmoons on the job, it didn't take long for two moons to drop from the sky.
Shortly after, the four returned. The eighth elder hurriedly said, "We need to leave. That eighth-stage Sunmoon devil managed to escape near the Pseudo Invincible. It won't be too convenient for us to continue."
After exchanging gazes with each other, the group laughed before vanishing into thin air.
***
News of what happened shocked the Myriad Realms.
In one battle, twenty-three Sunmoons had perished. Among them, four were late-stage Sunmoons. So many experts had gone over to attack Liu Wenyan, but only an eighth-stage Sunmoon devil had survived with grave injuries. That was not all.
Rumors that the First Divine Sect master was Nan Wujiang also spread everywhere. After rescuing Liu Wenyan's group, he had escaped with two Pseudo Invincibles in pursuit. The two Pseudo Invincibles came from the divine and devil races respectively. The pavilion experts, who were responsible for the majority of the deaths, were left alone as Liu Wenyan was a much bigger priority.
Naturally, the fame of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had grown yet again thanks to this incident.
The surviving eighth-stage Sunmoon ultimately returned to Nanyuan and complained to the myriad races that the pavilion was the culprit for the disastrous losses. He swore that the pavilion was getting more and more ambitious, to the point those from the pavilion were cooperating with the First Divine Sect master to kill all of them.
***
Inside Nanyuan.
Marquis Xia stared at Hong Tan speechlessly.
That grandstudent of this guy...was truly the greatest butcher to ever live. Among the myriad races, Xia Longwu was most definitely the person who had killed the most Sunmoons. Rather, that crown was probably Su Yu's. The number of Sunmoons who had died directly and indirectly in the hands of that kid had probably surpassed fifty, right?
That was basically the same as wiping out the Sunmoons of two human prefectures. Killing Invincibles was probably the only achievement the kid still lacked.
Hong Tan was left quite speechless as well. After a long while, he said, "That kid...no, more importantly, he tossed my senior brother to First Divine. If that's not the third principal..."
Wasn't the kid a tad bit too careless? How could he leave his teacher behind like that? What if First Divine was an enemy?
As for the sheer number of dead Sunmoons...truth be told, Hong Tan was already numb to this. After all, the kid had screwed over even Invincibles during his time in the Allheaven Battlefield. He might not have caused any Invincibles to die, but he had certainly caused the death of multiple tri-life bodies.
Marquis Xia said, "It's fine. Your grandstudent knows what he's doing. No matter First Divine is, it is unlikely that he will harm Liu Wenyan for now. Even if he's not, he has to stick to his assumed role and escort Liu Wenyan safely to Nanyuan."
Hong Tan thought about it and nodded. Hopefully, his senior brother would be fine.
Apart from hoping, there was nothing he could do.
