Chapter 1679 - Prey
Whoosh!
Su Yi’s figure silently shifted, splitting into countless doppelgangers that shot up the slopes from different directions. It was like a grand army charging into battle, a spectacular sight.
But a horrifying scene followed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As soon as Su Yi’s countless doppelgangers entered the dark fog, spatial rifts surged forth, like countless gaping maws.
Bang bang bang!
Su Yi’s doppelgangers popped like soap bubbles and disappeared. Only a small portion made it up the slopes, but as they continued up, spatial rifts relentlessly assailed and destroyed them.
Just watching made Tang Yuyan and her allies’ hearts jump with fright. They couldn’t help but sweat on Su Yi’s behalf.
Only now did they realize on a visceral level that Su Yi was right. The dark fog blanketing the mountain was indeed far too terrifying!
But against all expectations, Su Yi just shot up the mountainside and manifested more and more doppelgangers, like densely packed shadows. No matter how many were destroyed, new ones appeared to take their place.
What a wondrous movement technique. He’s using these body doubles to test the waters. After repeated attempts, he’ll gradually be able to carve out a safe path! Tang Yuyan exclaimed inwardly.
She wouldn’t have guessed that a Universe Realm Immortal like him would have such a wondrous movement technique. She was an unrivaled Immortal Lady, but even she felt her horizons broadening.
“That kid… isn’t as useless as we thought,” said one of the Immortal Lords. He too was impressed. Who could have failed to realize that Su Yi had just displayed extraordinary abilities?
Before long, they watched as Su Yi bypassed numerous obstacles to reach the halfway point of the mountain.
Boom!!
When Su Yi reached the run-down altar, it suddenly rumbled and boomed. Immediately afterward, the entire mountain swayed.
The terrifying power of spatial Laws burst from the altar, blanketing the sky and blotting out the sun as they descended upon Su Yi.
Tang Yuyan and the others held their breath. All of them looked startled.
Even just watching from afar, they felt terror and despair!
But it was then that the boundless, ancient humming of a sword resounded through the air.
No one saw how Su Yi did it, but a heaven-shaking impact followed, and the altar split into chunks.
Su Yi seized the opportunity to grab hold of the golden beast skin.
Boom!
The golden beast skin burst forth with appalling energy fluctuations of the Laws. The light of the Grand Dao burst forth. This was the power of a Great Realm treasure. It was vast beyond measure!
It could easily threaten the lives of even Immortal Kings!
But when Su Yi closed his fingers around the hide, the power of the Sword of the Nine Hells suppressed it. The beast skin shook, and its radiance scattered. The power of its Laws crumbled.
Su Yi slipped the beast skin into his sleeves. He’d succeeded!
It all happened in the blink of an eye. Su Yi smoothly broke the altar and subdued its treasure!
The attempt had been so incomparably perilous that Tang Yuyan and the others couldn’t help but break out in cold sweats just watching. A moment later, their expressions filled with delight.
A moment later, Tang Yuyan realized something and said hurriedly, “Everyone, be on guard! We have to leave as soon as Shen Mu returns!”
The other Immortal Lords were instantly solemn. All of them drew their treasures and readied themselves for battle.
But before Su Yi made it back to them, something entirely unexpected happened…
Boom!
Divine majesty shook heaven and earth as a stalwart man in silver armor suddenly shot over from afar.
He wore a tall hat, and his silver armor glinted with eye-catching radiance. He gripped a blood-red spear as his aura blanketed the sky and blotted out the sun.
“Give up the treasure, and I’ll spare your life!” The armored man bellowed, raising his spear and pointing it at the distant Su Yi. His entire body seethed with murderous intent.
A group of Immortal Lords appeared behind him with fierce momentum.
“Hua Mingwu!” Tang Yuyan’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. Hua Mingwu was the unrivaled Immortal Lord of the Exquisite Immortal Pavillion. He was extraordinarily powerful.
But it wasn’t over yet. One group of Immortal Lords after another emerged from all sides. All of them had terrifying auras, and soon, they’d sealed the entire mountain off.
Boom!
The wind and clouds shifted. Throughout the surrounding area, everything shook.
The Immortal Lords were from different camps. The smallest groups had three or four people, while the largest had more than ten.
Their ranks included no small number of unrivaled Immortal Lords!
Tang Yuyan and her companions instantly lost their cool. They’d realized that there were people lying in ambush nearby, but they hadn’t realized there were so many of them!
“The White Bone Demonist Sect’s unrivaled Immortal Lord, Li Xiao!”
“Fu Yunzi, the unrivaled Immortal Lord of Liuding Immortal Mountain!”
“Huang Beiye, the unrivaled Immortal Lord of Purple Qi Sword Court!”
“The unrivaled Immortal Lord of the True Martial Daoist Sect, Tao Rushuang!”
…As they recognized these new arrivals, Tang Yuyan and her allies’ hearts sank. They were now fully cognizant of their predicament.
How could they possibly fight so many people? Tang Yuyan alone couldn’t possibly lead Shen Mu to safety!
“We’re finished…”
“Dammit, how could there be so many of them?”
“Can’t you tell? They hid themselves earlier with various secret arts and treasures. That’s why we didn’t discover them!” Tang Hanfeng and others’ expressions were overcast.
“Tang Yuyan, that guy’s one of yours, right? Have him give up the treasure. Otherwise, none of you will escape, not even if you grow wings!” someone bellowed.
When they looked over, they saw that the speaker was Gu Dongliu of the Church of Divine Flame.
Not long ago, outside Meteor Ridge, Gu Dongliu led a group of his allies and attempted to seize the Star Origin Essence Stone Tang Yuyan had discovered.
But then, Su Yi ordered the monk, Zhuo Yun, to help Tang Yuyan send Gu Dongliu packing.
But now, Gu Dongliu and his cohort were back, and they were targeting Tang Yuyan’s group once more!
An austere, murderous aura permeated heaven and earth. The Immortal Lords of different camps had them thoroughly surrounded!
Tang Yuyan felt a headache coming on, and her allies visibly tensed with fear. Every last one of them had an unsightly look on their face.
This was a death trap. They feared their only hope of turning this around was to admit defeat!
“Shen Mu, crush your life-saving talisman and flee. That’ll be enough to protect this good fortune!” Tang Yuyan said suddenly.
The experts surrounding them looked stricken. She was right! If “Shen Mu” crushed his talisman, there’d be nothing they could do to stop him from leaving!
“You want me to run?” Su Yi laughed. “Seems to me that they’re the ones who’ll choose to flee in the end.”
The group was stunned, but before they could respond, Su Yi started walking down the mountain.
“What are you doing? Are you seriously acting tough even now?” Tang Yuyan cried out in panic. “So long as you hold onto that good fortune, you’ll be the greatest victor of this Divine Hunt. What’s there to hesitate about?”
Tang Hanfeng and the others were speechless too. They felt as if they might explode with anger. What is Shen Mu thinking? Why isn’t he fleeing as quickly as possible?
There are at least sixty Immortal Lords here, including six or seven unrivaled Immortal Lords. Who could possibly overcome so many?
“Relax. In my eyes, everyone blocking my path is just prey throwing their lives away,” Su Yi said with a laugh. His light, airy voice echoed throughout heaven and earth, leaving everyone who heard it flabbergasted. They almost suspected they were hearing things.
“Arrogant!” someone said with a cold laugh.
“If you’ve got the balls, don’t run!” someone else bellowed.
“Not bad. If you’ve really got the guts, stay here and fight. Show us the source of your courage. Let\'s see why you dare treat us like prey!” someone said expressionlessly. He was deliberately riling Su Yi up.
Su Yi just scanned the Immortal Lords eyeing him hungrily and laughed. “Sure.”
He agreed, just like that? The crowd was unwittingly stunned. After all, no matter how someone tried to provoke them, none of them would have agreed to fight so many. They would have disregarded all other concerns and fled the Divine Hunt Demon Mountains in favor of protecting this grand stroke of good fortune!
Yet now, this Shen Mu person had agreed not to flee!
“Shen Mu, have you gone insane? Hurry up and run!!” Tang Yuyan was completely frustrated. She was the only one here who knew that Shen Mu was only in the Universe Realm.
He was a Universe Realm cultivator surrounded by Immortal Lords. Even if she helped him, he had no hope of victory!
“Do you want to know why your seventh uncle told you to act in accordance with my orders?” asked Su Yi.
Tang Yuyan was stunned, but before she could answer, Su Yi chuckled. “Just stand there and watch. You’ll have your answers soon.”
As he spoke, Su Yi stepped off the fog-shrouded mountain.
The gathered Immortal Lords didn’t hesitate to attack in full force.
“Get him!”
“Surround him! We can’t give him any opportunity to escape.
“Hahaha, I’ve never seen anyone this stupid before. He had an opportunity to flee, but he actually didn’t take it.”
The Immortal Lords were seething with murderous intent, and excitement was written all over their faces. They immediately struck to kill, unleashing their treasures to attack with everything they had.
Meanwhile, the experts of other camps took action too. Each unrivaled Immortal Lord led their followers, and they worked together to surround Su Yi.
Boom!
Heaven and earth were in turmoil. Murderous intent filled everything between heaven and earth.
Tang Yuyan couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh. Shen Mu, oh Shen Mu, just what are you thinking?
The dense encirclement had already thoroughly intimidated her allies. Their courage failed them, and they quivered from head to toe.
They didn’t understand why Shen Mu refused to flee. Had he simply gone insane?
“Hurry up and save him! No matter what, we can’t let them surround him!” said Tang Yuyan through gnashed teeth.
She gripped her short saber and charged into the fray, only to freeze in place a moment later. Her beautiful eyes widened as an unbelievable scene played out before her eyes.
Shen Mu’s sleeves billowed around him as he drew his hand through the air.
Boom!
The entire stretch of sky abruptly collapsed.
The seven Immortal Lords leading the charge felt as if a divine mountain had slammed into them—and their treasures. Their weapons exploded with a bang.
Some of the Immortal Lords didn’t even have time to crush their life-saving talismans. They were instantly destroyed, body and soul.
As for those who did manage to crush their talismans, that did not prevent them from taking grievous damage. Their bodies broke, and only their souls were fortunate enough to make it out alive.
Blood fell like rain, and desperate cries shook the heavens.
That tyrannical strike didn’t just astonish Tang Yuyan. The Immortal Lords encircling Su Yi on all sides jumped in fright.
One casual strike and he defeated seven Immortal Lords!?
