Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu remained in hiding.

The sky continued turning bright.

This was a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. This would not be a weak opponent. But since Su Yu had set his eyes on them, he naturally had the confidence to deal with them. This Cloudbreach was no cultural researcher. Rather, he was a warrior.

A warrior's willpower wouldn't be too strong. With a sudden attack on this opponent's willpower, he would be able to stun him momentarily and kill him. Of course, it might create a commotion. As for the third-stage Skysoar, that was nothing. Su Yu could kill someone like that without much trouble.

"Hao..."

Su Yu muttered to himself. He couldn't allow Chen Hao to return. That fellow had to remain in the Martial Dragon Academy.

He did not have too many friends. Chen Hao would be the easiest target. He was someone without a background, sufficient strength, and talent. Someone like that would be in a lot of trouble if people found out his relationship with Su Yu.

"What a big blunder."

He should have emptied his house. Alas, when leaving, he had not imagined that he might not have the chance to return to his childhood home anymore. At the time, he was still hopeful that he would return here one day.

He wanted to keep his home how it was. That way, he might be able to return to his old life when both his father and him returned. Perhaps...that was merely an unrealistic dream. All he wanted was to see his father prepare yet another meal for him in that old apron.

But that dream had been crushed. His beautiful dream had turned into an illusion. The little bit of warmth he wished to preserve had brought Chen Hao danger instead. Since these two had set their eyes on Chen Hao, how about the others? There might be more like them. After all, these two were not the first to enter his home.

"Second Granduncle, the sky is getting bright. You should take a rest. I'll need to start my morning cultivation..."

The old man nodded in a gratified manner. What an obedient young man. No matter how busy or chaotic it was, one should never skip training. That was the strength of mind an expert should have. Without continuous progress and cultivation, how could one grow strong?

"Go. Nanyuan's source qi density is too low so use some source qi liquid."

"Yeah. I will."

The youth turned around to leave. Right at that moment, the old man frowned. Instincts were suddenly screaming at him. But the calm character displayed its prowess.

Calm down.

Everything was fine.

Next, a hammer covered by the deceit character slammed dropped onto the old man's head. Right at that moment, the old man finally felt a clear sense of crisis. It was an intense crisis. He was no cultural researcher. As a warrior, his first reaction was to release a burst of source qi eruption. But before he could do anything, the hammer struck him.

Rumble!

The noiseless hit shook the old man's sea of willpower. Due to his weak willpower, he was momentarily stunned. The little furball then shot out of the hammer and punctured the weak sea of willpower.

The terror in the old man's eyes turned blank...before being replaced by emptiness. However, his body continued moving according to its previous order and finished releasing the burst of source qi.

That was an intense eruption. But Su Yu ignored it. The youth couldn't even react before an attack shot out of his shadow and pierced through his heart. Next, the little furball stabbed through his sea of willpower.

The old man wasn't fully dead yet. Despite his destroyed sea of willpower, his body was still alive. An Invincible might be able to restore his sea of willpower. Su Yu naturally wouldn't give the old man a chance to recover.

If he allowed the old man to recover, the authorities could very well discover something related to him, such as the hammer and the little furball. The moment the youth was killed, Su Yu's yang acupoint opened slightly and released a wave of berserk energy into his body. Utilizing the berserk energy, he threw a punch.

Boom!

That was a punch with all his strength. With an eight-forged body, the strength character, and the slightly opened yang acupoint, his physical strength had surpassed five thousand acupoints.

The old man's body was instantly turned into mincemeat. His source qi swept out and covered the entire area. He could sense that some experts were rapidly moving over. He wasted no time and burned everything before vanishing into the ground.

A ninth-stage Cloudbreach had been killed. This might be an ambush and the opponent might be a warrior, but Su Yu was still greatly excited. He was no longer the nobody who had to endure everything. He finally had enough strength to deal with certain things.

Of course, he might not be able to kill a ninth-stage Cloudbreach cultural researcher so cleanly as his hammer wouldn't be as effective. But it didn't matter. He would start with warriors. Before long, he would start killing cultural researchers as well.

He did not regret killing them. He only regretted his lack of consideration that had placed Chen Hao in danger. He had to notify Chen Hao as soon as possible to not return. Yes. A holiday was coming. It was the end of May. Chen Hao might return for his holiday soon.

The instant Su Yu left, a Sunmoon arrived.

That was a Sunmoon of Great Xia. Suns and moons spun in his eyes as his source qi swept out and covered the area. Time started rewinding in the Sunmoon's eyes.

Whoosh!

He saw a hand. A hand that had destroyed the old man's body with one hit. In almost the same instant, everything vanished. The Sunmoon frowned. The explosive strength of the murderer was very strong.

A ninth-stage Cloudbreach had been killed with one hit. This Cloudbreach was no weakling. As a warrior, he almost had the strength of ten thousand acupoints. Yes, his strength was near ten thousand acupoints.

How would a powerful family employ a weak warrior? Even so, his body had been destroyed with one strike.

The Sunmoon couldn't see too much even after rewinding time. But he could feel that something wasn't right. The Cloudbreach might have already been injured before the scene he saw.

"A cultural researcher? It must be a cultural researcher. He was first stunned from willpower damage before his body was destroyed."

At this time, more and more people arrived.

Numerous bursts of willpower and source qi scanned the area. One of them hurriedly asked, "Lord, what happened?"

"Lord..."

"Silence!"

The Sunmoon scolded before ignoring them. He casually grabbed at the air, capturing a clump of warm energy in the air as he said, "Fire character. The killer has a fire character."

He coldly said, "It was a cultural researcher. The killer has the strength of a Mountainsea, not Sunmoon. The killer has powerful willpower as Wang Chen's sea of willpower was instantly destroyed. The body of this killer is probably around the same level as Wang Chen's body or slightly weaker. But I can't be sure if the killer has used all their strength..."

In short, the killer had the willpower of a Mountainsea and the body of a Cloudbreach. Naturally, Su Yu's willpower was nowhere near that level. The Sunmoon had relied on the instance when Wang Chen's willpower was crushed to make that judgment. Without the willpower at the Mountainsea Realm, it would be hard for someone to remain hidden from Wang Chen. After all, warriors were still able to resist willpower attacks with their source qi.

Since Wang Chen had only released his source qi right before his death, it was clear that the killer had managed to completely hide from Wang Chen. That made it very likely that the killer was a Mountainsea cultural researcher.

At the same time, the Sunmoon sent his willpower outward and spoke through voice transmission, "None of you move. Nanyuan has gone out of control. All of you better remain where you are."

The Sunmoon had an unsightly expression. He had arrived quickly, but the killer was even faster. Nevertheless, the killer had also left a lot of clues behind. A cultural researcher, Mountainsea willpower, Cloudbreach body, a fire character, and maybe an earth movement character as well.

Suddenly, the look in his eyes changed. Mountainsea willpower!

Killing Wang Chen and Zhang Heng...

Someone else reached the same conclusion as well. That person said, "Is that assassin here?"

Who? The same assassin who had killed the various Mountainseas at the Rising Sky Sea, Great Tang, and Great Shang. Was the same assassin here? Definitely!

Who else would be capable of assassinating a ninth-stage Cloudbreach undetected in the presence of a Sunmoon? Was that person here? Had that person gone mad? Was that person really in Great Xia?

Great Xia wasn't too far away from Great Shang, and that assassin had just killed a Mountainsea not long ago. Thus, it was perfectly logical for that assassin to be in Nanyuan now.

"Is that fellow here?"

Instantly, everyone present was alarmed. An assassin capable of killing Mountainseas. Or to be precise, that was an assassin that had killed multiple late-stage Mountainseas. A lot of people were searching for that assassin, but all of them had failed.

"Just who is that person?"

A lot of people already had their guesses, but nobody dared to mention the name. Who could it be? Chen Yong.

When Chen Yong was being pursued by the Six-Winged Divine Sect, everywhere he went, experts would die. But even after the defeat and the escape of the Six-Winged Divine Sect, the trail of bodies did not stop. Thus, Chen Yong was the most likely culprit.

As for the recently killed individuals in Nanyuan...what was the reason for that? Chen Yong wasn't completely unrelated to Nanyuan. Su Yu! That was his link to Nanyuan! The more some people thought, the more alarmed they were.

Not everyone had reached the same conclusion, but some of them had definitely concluded that it was Chen Yong. But was Chen Yong strong enough to do so? Had Chen Yong really arrived in Nanyuan? The Sunmoon stood silently as he continued scanning the area. As he thought about the matter, he became absent-minded.

Was it really Chen Yong? Why? Chen Yong was someone he knew personally! At that thought, he took out a voice transmission talisman and sent a direct message to Marquis Xia.

"Marquis Xia, an assassin has appeared in Nanyuan. Wang Chen and Zhang Heng have been killed. We suspect that this is the same assassin that has been killing Mountainsea military officials all over the Human Realm."

Great Xia City.

Marquis Xia blanked out. Assassination?

He looked in Nanyuan's direction and frowned gloomily. Was it Chen Yong? If he continued killing in such an unrestrained manner, something bad would happen soon. While he was thinking, he received another message.

"Marquis, a Mountainsea was just assassinated in Great Wu."

Marquis Xia was stunned. What? Was someone fishing in troubled water? He had thought that the culprit of the Nanyuan murders was Chen Yong. But another assassination had just happened in Great Wu. That prefecture was quite far away from Great Xia. No matter how strong Chen Yong was, he wouldn't be able to move between the two prefectures in such a short time.

Marquis Xia frowned. This was getting more and more complicated. Was someone trying to create even more chaos? But who would do something like this? What was the point of killing some people in Nanyuan? There was nothing in Nanyuan. There might be a ruin there, but with the Xia Family around, what could they do even if everyone in Nanyuan was killed?
