Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 853: A Good Start (3)

After thinking about it, the old man asked, "Lord, are you from Great Qin, Great Xia, or Great Zhou?"

"No!"

"Are you from the Dual Holy Prefecture?"

"No. I'm from Great Ming."

"..."

The old man instantly stopped walking upon hearing that. His subordinates also stopped with him. They started distancing themselves from Su Yu. It was way too dangerous to follow someone like that around. They were worried that he would end up killed before he could even put up a fight. In that situation, things could get very dangerous for these vultures as well.

Holy shit!

This was a cultural researcher from Great Ming. Did he think that he was out on a scenic tour? Things might not be that bad if this was a warrior. The warriors of Great Ming were still quite strong.

As for their cultural researchers...the myriad races loved encountering Great Ming's cultural researchers. Yes, yes, their cultural researchers had a lot of abilities. But some of these abilities were too weird. For example, they would suddenly transform into a beauty in the middle of a fight. What was the point of that?

Was this guy here to throw his life away?

When Su Yu noticed what they were doing, he blanked out. But soon, he laughed in amusement as he asked, "What's the problem with cultural researchers from Great Ming? Brother, why are you scared when I'm not scared? The cultural researchers of Great Ming are very scary. Well, since there is a suitable opponent here, let me demonstrate my skills..."

Mid-sentence, Su Yu vanished into thin air. At the exact same moment, a large hammer appeared and struck a specific spot in the air.

Rumble!

With an explosion, a figure flickered into view. Before that person could even do anything, the hammer struck again. The escaping vultures were greatly astonished. A figure finally appeared in the air.

Clad in his fluttering white robes, Su Yu hovered in the sky. With a smile, he said, "Interesting. Someone from the shadow race. This is a very interesting race."

The shadow instantly decided to retreat. This was not an easy target. The light-headed shadow was just about to start escaping when the large hammer descended yet again. With a loud bang, the shadow was fully revealed upon everyone there.

Next, Su Yu reached out at the shadow. With a crack, the shadow's head was crushed.

Su Yu did not stop at that. His hand suddenly shot toward the shadow's heart. With a crushed head, the shadow's heart blood activated. Before the heart blood could escape, a hand shot through the shadow's chest before withdrawing with a black heart.

Pa!

The heart was crushed as well. Then, Su Yu gathered all the blood of the shadow into a ball before storing it in his storage ring.

Then, Su Yu returned to his earthdragon. Everything had happened instantly. He smiled and said, "Brother, let's continue our journey. You guys can have the corpse, but I'll keep the blood. That's a first-stage Cloudbreach, so the corpse is worth something, right?"

"..."

Far away, the old man had a look of shock. He swallowed and carefully said, "Lord, that's someone from the shadow race. That race might not be a top 100 race, but it is still a race with at least one Invincible."

Su Yu indifferently said, "Invincible? We humans have so many Invincibles. Why should we be scared of that? The shadow race? Yeah, I know about them. What's so special about them?"

"..."

No, it wasn't that there was anything special about them. The old man was simply shocked and scared. Holy shit. This was a ruthless guy!

In the blink of an eye, this fellow had killed a shadow of the same cultivation level. The shadow race was also known as the assassins of the myriad races. A member of that race was totally capable of killing those with a higher cultivation level.

It also wasn't surprising that such a person was able to sneak into the human territory. After all, the territory was too big. It wasn't easy to control everything inside the territory.

As long as an intruder stayed away from the headquarters, they wouldn't be discovered so easily. But now, one such intruder had been killed instantly. That was a Cloudbreach!

The old man was greatly alarmed. But he was also incredibly courageous. His group instantly surrounded the corpse. Even without the blood, the corpse of a shadow was still worth a lot.

The old man hurriedly explained, "Lord, after killing the members of the myriad races, you can collect something from their corpses to claim your reward from the military. Generally, killing a Cloudbreach will net you at least a thousand merit points."

That was a lot of money. As a Cloudbreach, this shadow could be considered a big deal. This shadow was truly unlucky to be killed by Su Yu not long after sneaking into the human territory.

Su Yu nodded and said, "I'm aware of that. I read it somewhere before. But the heart has been crushed. Forget it. For the shadow race, the military requires the heart to verify the kill. Looks like the military is not stupid. This is a hard requirement to meet as very few people can kill a shadow while preserving the heart."

The old man realized that this fellow might be venturing out for the first time, but he wasn't completely clueless. At the very least, he was aware that he could only claim the reward for killing a shadow with the heart.

The vultures worked on the corpse while Su Yu watched on leisurely not far away. He said, "This is really amusing. This shadow was so weak. Would the Invincibles discover such weak intruders and casually kill them?"

"You must have misunderstood something, Lord. The Invincibles won't scan their surroundings for no reason."

The old man explained, "Even Invincibles need to cultivate. And they are very busy. It is very draining to spread their willpower across a large area at all times. Thus, unless you go near an Invincible, they won't really detect you since they won't be randomly spreading their senses everywhere at all times."

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. He said, "Brother, I thought you could get heavenly rewards by killing here. Where's my reward?"

"..."

At this point, the old man and his team had finished dealing with the corpse. He was left speechless by that question. He thought about it and said, "Lord, you need to kill someone above your level for heavenly rewards. In fact, heavenly rewards are very rare. At times, the requirements to receive these rewards can be very hard to understand. For example, you might end up with nothing even after killing a Mountainsea. It depends on your luck."

"That's so inconvenient."

Su Yu shook his head. But at the very least, he had still benefited somewhat by killing a Cloudbreach. The blood itself could be considered a profit for him. That was only a first-stage Cloudbreach. Su Yu had zero fear against an opponent like that.

He also knew the shadow race very well. But he had never consumed the blood essence of the shadow race before. This would be an opportunity for him to finally do that. As for the shadow in his research center, that fellow had been rather obedient so he had not forced that fellow to provide him with blood essence.

Was the shadow he just killed a cultural researcher? It was hard to determine, but Su Yu reckoned that the dead shadow was most likely a cultural researcher. Perhaps he could get a cultural art or something from the blood essence.

"Money is dropping from the sky for me right after I stepped out of the city. This is a good start!"

Su Yu laughed happily. It would seem like Consul Liu's well wishes for him had worked very well. He had encountered a Cloudbreach shadow right after leaving. That was a profitable encounter. None of the vultures said anything. Inwardly, they all realized that they had really stumbled on a powerful genius.

How was a shadow Cloudbreach so easy to kill? Any other Cloudbreach would have been instantly assassinated by that shadow. But this fellow had actually killed that natural-born assassin instantly.

And from how composed this fellow was and the lack of hesitation when killing, he was most definitely not a stranger to killing. When did Great Ming produce someone like this?

Su Yu did not care about what they were thinking. Seeing that the vultures were done, he started moving again. With a smile, he said, "Guys, come closer. Don't stay so far away. Let's chat while walking. I've discovered that you vultures know a lot. If we encounter more opponents, I will kill them and take only their blood essence. You guys can keep the corpses. Both of us can benefit from this!"

"Lord..." The old man laughed awkwardly and said, "You should go ahead. We still have something to do so we won't be bothering you anymore."

Forget it. They might earn more following this fellow...but his instincts were screaming at him that it was extremely dangerous to travel with this fellow. And vultures were extremely sensitive toward danger.

Before leaving, the old man gave one final reminder, "Lord, if you kill too much, the aura of blood around you might grow too heavy. That could very easily attract the attention of dangerous experts. You should try not to kill when possible."

"Thanks for the reminder." Su Yu had a pensive look. He hurriedly asked, "Will consuming blood essence attract the attention of dangerous experts as well?"

"Yes. Try to be careful, Lord."

"Thank you!"

Su Yu nodded. If he had known this, he wouldn't have bothered cleansing his body in the Heart Calming Spring. Then again, if he hadn't done so, he might not have been able to hide the fact he was the killer of Zhang He's son.

How troublesome.

He was feeling regretful. It would seem like he needed to consume more blood essence. That way, he did not need to look for opponents. Instead, opponents would come running toward him instead.

He started praying to meet more Cloudbreach opponents. Su Yu was unbothered by the old man's departure. Vultures were very common out here so he could find a random team easily if he had anything else to ask. Without those vultures, he increased his pace.

It was time for him to visit the frontlines. Perhaps he could kill more enemies there. Before long, he vanished into the distance.

Not long after that, someone arrived at his previous location. After scanning the area, that person muttered, "That fellow is not weak at all. Well, looks like his name is worthy of entering the index of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion."

A shadow had actually been killed in the blink of an eye. That Cui Lang was most definitely qualified to enter the Yellow Index. Before long, this person vanished again.

Not long after the mysterious person left, Su Yu returned to the same spot. Looking in the direction the mysterious person disappeared, he rubbed his chin and smiled. Was this someone from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?

Or was this a spy sent by someone else?

Interesting.

He had a lot of inhibitions in the Human Realm, but here, he could finally let loose.
