Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1071: Killing A Sunmoon (2)

Right at that moment, a rumble rang out. Space itself was split apart as the saber descended and sunk onto the massive back of the red toad. Blood was spilled and bones were shattered.

"Mercy..." The red toad pleaded with desperation, "Please stop here! If I launch a desperate attack, I can still drag you down with me..."

A crescent moon appeared in the sky. The moon descended upon Su Yu with incredible might. The red toad wasn't trying to kill Su Yu with this move. He was simply trying to buy time so that he could flee.

Su Yu remained indifferent, "Are Sunmoons this weak?"

This was really a tad bit too weak. He could sense that the red toad could only muster the strength of 300,000 acupoints.

Then again, Su Yu did not have any experience killing the Sunmoons of minor races. Thus, he was unsure of how strong they could be. But through this exchange, he finally knew.

Perhaps the death qi in the red toad's body had also weakened the red toad slightly. In any case, the red toad was far weaker than Su Yu had expected. In fact, the red toad simply felt like a smarter Sunmoon death spirit.

Su Yu could release the strength of 200,000 acupoints even without using blood essence. And currently, he was under the effect of mountainbreak bull blood essence. One should not forget that the mountainbreak bull race was still a top 100 race. A first-stage Sunmoon mountainbreak bull was far stronger than a first-stage Sunmoon from the red toad race.

Su Yu decided to stop wasting time. With a flicker, he vanished. At almost the same moment, the fleeing red toad turned around in panic and fled in a different direction instead.

Whoosh!

Once again, a saber descended from above.

At the same time, a cage appeared around the red toad. It was the Five Element Purgatory. With a roar, the red toad crashed through the cage. No matter what, he was still a Sunmoon. Su Yu's willpower was still not strong enough to keep him trapped.

But right after crashing through the cage, the red toad's vision blurred. A peak Sunmoon death spirit appeared not far ahead of him. The red toad was alarmed, but he kept reminding himself that this wasn't real. This was an illusion!

Yes, an illusion!

His source qi surged madly.

A single acupoint appeared. That was his Sunmoon acupoint, the acupoint created through the fusion of all his opened acupoints. It was important to be wary of these tricks when one was fighting a cultural researcher.

Boom!

With a blast of source qi, he shattered the illusion. But right at that moment, the saber landed on him yet again. One of his legs had been completely severed.

"Su Yu!"

A miserable howl rang out.

Suddenly, Su Yu reversed his acupoints and threw a punch powered by death qi. He was someone who had consumed death spirit blood essence before. The punch sent the red toad flying away. The red toad's expression changed yet again. The strength of that punch alone was weaker than the saber, but it had triggered the death qi in his body.

Su Yu was able to transform into a death spirit instantaneously. Punch after punch, and saber after saber, he attacked. Each attack was laced with death qi.

Finally, the red toad was blasted apart, forcing his sea of willpower to manifest in the sky. The massive sea of willpower only remained for a split second before violent waves of death qi covered it, causing a complete collapse.

With that, Su Yu ended his death spirit transformation. With an indifferent expression, he looked around him and coldly ordered, "Return to your buildings. You may also try your luck against me if you wish."

As he spoke, a Sunmoon death spirit appeared in the sky. Beside the death spirit, a moon was falling. Next, a massive shining cloud appeared above Su Yu. That was his heavenly reward for killing a first-stage Sunmoon. And this time, the reward was massive. Incredibly massive.

This was a Sunmoon he had killed with his own two hands, hence the massive reward. Sure, the death qi in the red toad's body had also played a big role in the death, but he had also dominated the fight from the beginning until the end.

***

All around him, people started fleeing.

That was a nightmarish scene. Someone below the Sunmoon Realm had defeated a Sunmoon in such an overwhelming manner.

Before Su Yu, the red toad Sunmoon was as defenseless as a baby. First, his tongue was cut off. Then, he was cut by the Sky Sundering Saber. Finally, he was hammered to death.

Su Yu had way too many abilities. He could generate powerful tremors with his character, transform into a death spirit, utilize the Sky Sundering Saber, Five Element Purgatory, and illusions...

With his seemingly endless abilities, he had easily killed the red toad. Not even a corpse was left behind.

The red toad had been thoroughly destroyed, to the point he couldn't even transform into a death spirit. Of course, Su Yu was unsure if the red toad could still become a death spirit through a different method. But no death spirit had arrived to welcome the red toad to the land of the dead.

Evidently, transformation was no longer possible since the red toad had lost both his body and his sea of willpower. A large amount of willpower entered Su Yu's sea of willpower. He was quite pleased with this reward.

Naturally, the little furball was also stealthily consuming the rewarded willpower. Su Yu was unbothered. The amount was big enough, so he was feeling quite generous. The storage ring, mayor's medallion, some of the red toad's body parts, and some random belongings of the red toad were left on the ground. Su Yu was in no rush to collect all those items.

He remained in the air as he absorbed the rewarded willpower. Meanwhile, the residents could only stealthily observe him from inside their buildings without the courage to even make a sound.

Su Yu!

They were still greatly shaken. This person had killed a Sunmoon without being a Sunmoon. They had witnessed that feat with their very own eyes. With that level of strength, he could already be considered a regional overlord.

Even the remaining Sunmoon residents in the city were hiding. They weren't sure about the limit of Su Yu's strength, nor were they sure if Su Yu had accomplished the kill through Ye Batian's character.

They didn't sense any particularly powerful character during the short battle, but they could sense a terrifying level of strength on Su Yu's body.

"Ability blood essence!"

Some of them were aware that this was a subject the human race was researching.

The aura Su Yu released during that battle was the same as the aura of a mountainbreak bull. Was that the ability blood essence? Ability blood essence at the level of a Sunmoon? Was that really possible? If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that Su Yu had way more trump cards waiting for them? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Why was Su Yu still floating in the sky? Was he trying to lure them out to kill them as well? Was he trying to kill all the Sunmoons in the city? Sure enough, anyone born in Great Xia would end up as a bloodthirsty lunatic. He was the same as Xia Longwu. No, not even Xia Longwu was this big of a savage.

***

Meanwhile, those near the city also noticed the fall of the moon. This time, the moon wasn't too big.

Clearly, yet another Sunmoon had perished. But this Sunmoon wasn't too strong. It was likely that this was a first-stage Sunmoon. Before anyone knew it, the death of Sunmoons had turned into a regular event. Prior to this, even the death of a single Sunmoon would become massive news.

The humans had fought the divines and devils for decades. Even then, very few Sunmoons from these three races had perished. Generally, they would lose one Sunmoon about every three to five years.

But recently, dozens of Sunmoons had perished in the span of less than two months. Even a ninth-stage Sunmoon had perished.

"Are there any updates from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?"

"Who died?"

"Were they fighting for the mayorship?"

"Who was the killer? Who won the mayorship?"

"..."

Those outside the city were getting curious. They knew that a battle would definitely erupt for the mayorship. But they had not expected a death so soon. Why was the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion so slow this time?

After a while, someone said, "There's a new update from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Naer of the red toad race has died. The killer was Su Yu. After consuming a drop of Sunmoon ability blood essence, he killed the red toad overwhelmingly. Nobody dares to fight him over the mayorship anymore."

"Su Yu!"

At the mention of that name, silence descended.

Him again! That fellow was already a living dead. Could he calm the fuck down?

"He's trying to become the mayor?"

"That's not the point. More importantly, he has the ability to produce ability blood essence at the Sunmoon level."

Someone gasped in shock, "Is that true? Isn't the human race still stuck at the Cloudbreach level for this research?"

"What a stupid question. Su Yu is a genius. He's also a genius researcher. Perhaps that's a result of his own research. Have you forgotten about all the cultivation methods he released in the Human Realm? Regardless of whether he has access to a secret ruin, there is no denying his talent in research."

"How terrifying."

"Yeah. Fortunately, he's now an ancient city resident."

Some of them were feeling quite relieved. Someone like that was simply too terrifying if allowed to continue growing.

***

Once again, news of what happened spread everywhere.

The battle for the mayorship had started. Su Yu had achieved overwhelming victory over a Sunmoon from the red toad race. Nobody else had the courage to compete against him. He could potentially be the new mayor. That was came as shocking news for many people.

Was Su Yu going to become the first-ever Cloudbreach mayor in existence?

***

Human Realm.

Zhu Tiandao turned his chair into fine powder from sheer shock. He was left speechless for a long while.

Holy shit!

Mayor of an ancient city?

When Su Yu first left Great Ming, he was as weak as an ant. It hadn't even been that long yet he had accomplished the feat of getting a ninth-stage Sunmoon killed. And soon, he was going to become the mayor of an ancient city. Was this really happening?
