Chapter 685: Fierce and Merciless!
“Captain, it’s him! That kid!”
A large man stared at Su Yi, his fear still lingering from the previous encounter when this young boy had defeated all of them.
Su Yi’s gaze swept over, and he noticed about forty people, each exuding a powerful aura. Among them, Su Yi recognized the man who had spoken—one of the small group of mercenaries he had previously dealt with.
The Green Emperor showed no reaction, standing calmly beside Su Yi.
“Who are these people?” Su Xiaoshuai asked casually, showing no concern.
“They are the Bloodblade Mercenary Group!”
A crowd quickly gathered on the street as news of the commotion spread.
“These two are in trouble!”
“The Bloodblade Mercenaries are ruthless!”
“I heard that a young boy recently defeated many members of the Bloodblade Mercenaries. Could it be him?”
Whispers filled the air, causing both Su Yi and the Green Emperor to shiver. They were well aware of the Bloodblade Mercenaries’ terrifying reputation in the area.
“You, the one who crippled my mercenaries, do you have a death wish?”
A tall and intimidating man glared coldly at Su Yi. After witnessing so many of his men fall to a young boy, he felt the need to reclaim his organization’s honor, or else the Bloodblade Mercenaries would lose their standing in the region.
“You’ve come to provoke me time and time again. Now, you won’t live to regret it!”
Su Yi remained calm, not even flinching. His eyes met the Green Emperor’s gaze as he spoke.
The sound of a sudden crack!
The Green Emperor’s figure disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already standing before the most powerful cultivator in the Bloodblade Mercenary Group. His fingers slightly curled, and a green light flickered from his fingertips, sharp and fierce. With a resounding crack, the man didn’t even have time to react before his head was severed from his body, spraying blood everywhere—yet not a single drop touched the Green Emperor.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
In the empty space, strange green lights filled the air, carrying a terrifying power that no one could evade. They pierced through the bodies of several dozen cultivators from the Bloodblade Mercenary Group, leaving behind a cloud of demonic energy.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
As the green lights passed, the bodies of these dozen cultivators, including a Yuan True Realm cultivator, exploded into a mist of blood, turning into nothing but gore.
“…”
This scene left the onlookers in Man City speechless. The middle-aged man in the green robe was unexpectedly powerful. The Bloodblade Mercenary Group had clearly made a grave mistake in provoking someone they should not have.
“Don’t waste them.”
Su Yi collected several space bags from the ground. They shouldn’t be wasted.
“Don’t go yet.”
A faint voice sounded, lowering in volume. An old man in a gray robe stepped out from the crowd, scanning the surroundings with slight fluctuations in his eyes.
“You…?”
Su Yi was puzzled, not recognizing this person. It seemed they weren’t acquainted.
“Not recognizing me is for the best. Leave quickly to avoid attracting attention.”
The old man’s voice suddenly changed. It turned out to be Xi Wuqing’s.
“It’s you, elder brother.” Su Yi was taken aback. He hadn’t recognized the old man as Xi Wuqing at all and couldn’t even sense his aura.
“Swoosh…”
The three of them quickly left the town, disappearing into the distance.
The remaining people in the town only regained their senses after a while, but their only feeling was regret for the Bloodblade Mercenary Group.
However, no one truly cared. In the Forest of Demons, such events were commonplace. Countless lives were lost every day, and countless forces rose and fell. It was just another ordinary day.
“Brother, is this the art of disguise? It’s so amazing.”
As they traveled, Su Yi observed Xi Wuqing’s appearance. It was completely different from the makeup he remembered from his past life—unrecognizable.
“This is a small skill called the art of disguise. While it has some clever aspects, it’s nothing extraordinary.” Xi Wuqing nodded. He had to go to Central Region City, so he decided to alter his appearance to avoid some trouble.
“Is it possible for you to teach me this art of disguise?”
Su Yi became very interested. The art of disguise had many benefits. Even in the upcoming Saint Martial Assembly, he didn’t want to encounter people from the Divine Sword School and Sacred Mountain. If he could master this art, it would be incredibly useful.
“I can teach you.” Xi Wuqing looked at Su Yi and nodded.
In the following days, Su Yi, Xi Wuqing, the Green Emperor, and Su Xiaoshuai rushed toward the city in the Central Region. Along the way, they practiced the art of disguise.
The art of disguise was not too difficult, but it wasn’t easy either. The most important aspect was completely concealing one’s aura. Thanks to Su Yi’s mastery of the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, it became more convenient.
The art of disguise also required external materials and simple medications for assistance.
The art of disguise had many secrets, but unfortunately, Su Yi didn’t know how to make the necessary elixirs. He had to ask Xi Wuqing for help. Luckily, the required elixirs weren’t particularly rare.
…
The distance from the Forest of Demons to Central Region City was vast. Fortunately, with Su Yi’s speed, their progress wasn’t slow. However, they had to pass through a vast mountain range known as the Forest of Demons. Along the way, there were various dangers and ferocious creatures.
But with the Green Emperor and Xi Wuqing’s presence, even the auras of Su Yi and Su Xiaoshuai were enough to deter the demon beasts.
This was Su Yi’s first time crossing the Forest of Demons so openly.
In several days, besides a few small towns, Su Yi unexpectedly saw two large cities. Magnificent buildings appeared like islands in the mountains, bustling with activity.
This surprised Su Yi. Later, he learned from Xi Wuqing that there were many such large cities within the Forest of Demons. It was important to note that the Forest of Demons was not an endless wasteland; otherwise, so many powerful forces wouldn’t exist there.
After seven days, Xi Wuqing told Su Yi they were about to leave the Forest of Demons. They still had to pass through a few more large cities before reaching the Central Region, where the Saint Martial Assembly was being held.
Through Xi Wuqing’s explanation, Su Yi learned more about the Central Region. It was rumored to be the largest and most bustling city in the entire area, stretching endlessly with no clear boundaries.
Even before reaching the Central Region, Su Yi could already feel the excitement building up for the Saint Martial Assembly. The nearby cities were already bustling with activity, as many people headed toward the Central Region.
In the sky, many flying demon beasts carried people toward their destination—the Central Region.
“Normally, people travel using demon beast mounts or space portals,” Xi Wuqing explained to Su Yi. “Many big cities have interconnected portals for fast travel between them.”
