Chapter 961: Seize the Opportunity to Escape!
Within this freezing cold breath, there is a strange and unsettling fluctuation, making one’s soul extremely uncomfortable and shivering for no reason.
“Soul Devouring Emperor, meet your demise!”
A powerful aura erupted once more as Wei Yidao’s internal vital energy surged to its peak. Sensing the opportunity, he unleashed his strength without hesitation. His third-grade Yuan Emperor Realm aura radiated intensely, and in his grasp, a half-zhang long gleaming great cleaver shimmered ominously. With precision and force, he launched a ferocious attack on the Soul Devouring Emperor, while Yang Baikun flanked from both sides.
“Wuwu… despicable humans…”
The piercing screech of the Soul Devouring Emperor’s voice was capable of tearing through one’s soul. The continuous surges of freezing cold breath enveloped the surroundings, sweeping through the vast void.
The towering ancient trees below seemed to transform into ice sculptures, and the frigid breath was enough to instantly freeze weaker creatures with low cultivation into ice.
“Fourth level of Demonic Emperor Realm, Ice Medullary Spirit Eater!”
Upon seeing the true form of the Soul Devouring Emperor, Su Yi couldn’t help but be astonished and stunned.
The Ice Medullary Spirit Eater is definitely a terrifying powerful creature from the demon race.
Rumor has it that the Ice Medullary Spirit Eater is enough to make cultivators of the same level shudder and avoid it, because of its eerie icy aura that specifically targets souls.
The Ice Medullary Spirit Eater carries a unique icy poison, once infected, it can infiltrate the body and freeze the bone marrow, haunting the victim like a shadow. Eventually, the whole body will become frozen, and the most horrifying fate is to have one’s soul devoured by the Ice Medullary Spirit Eater.
Even cultivators one level higher than the Ice Medullary Spirit Eater would hesitate to provoke it, so you can imagine how furious Yang Baikun must be right now.
At this moment, Wei Yidao is in the most helpless position, as he dreads the Soul Devouring Emperor.
Even though the sect leader intends to deal with the Soul Devouring Emperor, it seems that he still lacks complete control. Wei Yidao has no choice but to help cautiously, fearing that he might fall under the influence of the Soul Devouring Emperor.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
In an instant, the three emperor-level powerhouses clashed with full force, causing the surrounding area to rumble and tremble, as if the mountains were crumbling and the earth was splitting.
“Boom, rumble, rumble!”
Various smells gathered together to form a terrifying storm of energy, spreading wildly like a mountain-moving tsunami.
Ripples of powerful force descended, smashing towering trees and creating cracks in the ground.
“Let’s go.”
Looking up at the chaotic battlefield in the empty sky, Su Yi clenched his teeth tightly, and then suddenly sneaked away.
“Boss, what are we going to do about your Dao Tool that is still in the hands of the Soul Devouring Emperor?” Su Xiaoshuai asked.
“We’ll figure it out later. The Soul Devouring Emperor won’t suffer much. If we don’t leave now, we won’t make it in time!”
There’s no better time to leave than now. Su Yi wasted no time, suppressing his presence and swiftly escaping.
Confronting an adversary as formidable as the Soul Devouring Emperor, armed with the Ice Medullary Spirit Eater of such caliber, Su Yi surmised that both Yang Baikun and the powerful Yuan Emperor Realm figure from the Golden Sword Sect would be fully preoccupied. With their focus entirely on the battle, neither would spare a thought for him. Seizing the opportunity, Su Yi knew this was the ideal moment to slip away unnoticed.
Yang Baikun is in the Fifth Grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm in terms of cultivation, and it seems that the strong members of the Golden Sword Sect are also in the third grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm.
But Su Yi knew very well that even if the two of them joined forces, at most they could suppress the Soul Devouring Emperor and make him suffer a bit.
And this nearby place belongs to the demon clan. With such commotion, it’s likely to attract other powerful demons.
Even if the Soul Devouring Emperor doesn’t have any friends, the demon clan always presents a united front when facing humans. By that time, it would be Yang Baikun who would be at a disadvantage. Once Yang Baikun realizes that something is wrong, it will be too late for him to leave.
Su Yi didn’t dare to hesitate, he hurriedly escaped. It’s better to leave this place early.
As for the Golden Scale Flaming Heavenly Bow, Su Yi certainly didn’t plan to just give it away to the Soul Devouring Emperor.
The Soul Devouring Emperor should be the nearby Demon Emperor. They will find a way to get it back later.
Although the Soul Devouring Emperor is not easy to provoke, with the current strength of the Green Emperor and Yin-yang Dark Emperor, Su Yi estimates that there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
“Roarrrr…”
A tremendous commotion shook the mountains, with demon beasts roaring and fierce birds flapping their wings, causing majestic mountains to tremble.
A strong and mysterious smell suddenly spread into the air, exploring this place.
“Whoosh…”
In the distant emptiness, a figure appeared from far away, surrounded by green light. It was Ji Tianfu.
“Didn’t Yang Baikun go after Su Yi? Why is he now fighting the Soul Devouring Emperor!”
Watching the continuous battle between the figures in the distant emptiness, Ji Tianfu’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.
“Humans dare to attack my monster clan, they are getting bolder!”
Suddenly, in the distant emptiness, there was a burst of purple light, accompanied by a deep voice and a figure as fast as lightning, approaching rapidly.
“Shameless humans, thinking they can bully us!”
There was a roar, and darkness covered the sky, with a powerful aura.
“Oh…”
A gentle voice, calm like a still ancient well. As the last sound faded, an old figure appeared in the empty space, surrounded by a mysterious aura.
“Whoosh, whoosh…”
Soon, many figures also floated in the sky, appearing in the distance of the empty space to observe.
…
Su Yi, who was escaping rapidly, had no idea that his sudden plan was causing a great commotion among the nearby powerful forces and the Demon Emperor.
Su Yi didn’t dare to stop, fleeing at full speed.
Yang Baikun arrived in person, accompanied by other strong warriors of the Yuan Emperor Realm. Su Yi estimated that it would be better to avoid encountering anyone other than the Green Emperor and Yin-yang Dark Emperor.
Even if Huang Jian, who was currently in the mysterious space, reached the Yuan Emperor Realm, it still wouldn’t be enough.
Now, besides the Golden Sword Sect, it seems we have also angered the Soul Devouring Emperor. This is the territory of the Yao clan, so we should leave as soon as possible.
Within the mountain range, there are constantly moving herds of animals, with fierce birds hovering in the sky.
This doesn’t affect Su Yi and Su Xiaoshuai much. With their auras slightly released, the demon beast’s soul trembles and dares not approach.
After several hours, the earth-shaking commotion from the battle between the imperial-level powerhouses had finally subsided. Despite the silence, Su Yi remained vigilant, unwilling to let his guard down. He couldn’t shake the worry that Yang Baikun, once he regained consciousness, would waste no time in coming after him.
Su Yi figured that Yang Baikun was unlikely to regain consciousness anytime soon. Even so, he knew Yang Baikun would never abandon his quest to reclaim the Golden Scale Flaming Heavenly Bow from the Soul Devouring Emperor—a formidable adversary who was not to be trifled with.
“Hehe…”
As he thought about the success of his impromptu plan, Su Yi couldn’t help but admire his intelligence and wit in times of danger. He remained calm and had both courage and strategy…
“Boss, it seems like we’ve gone in the wrong direction, haven’t we?”
Just as Su Yi was silently praising himself in his mind, Su Xiaoshuai interrupted his thoughts.
“How could we have taken the wrong path…”
Su Yi frowned, paused his steps, and squinted his eyes.
Su Xiaoshuai flapped his wings and perched in front of Su Yi. He gazed ahead and said softly, “I think we have indeed gone in the wrong direction.”
As the sky gradually darkened, the view ahead became vast and hazy. In the distance, the outline of an ancient city appeared at the end of their sight. Even the sounds from the main road brought glimpses of figures and traces of carriages and horses.
“It seems like we took the wrong way.”
Looking ahead, Su Yi squinted his eyes and hesitated. In panic, they had gone in the wrong direction. This place was not where they were supposed to find Su Xiaoshuai.
