Chapter 685: Fierce and Merciless!
Chapter 685: Fierce and Merciless!
"Captain, it's him, that kid!"
A big man stared at Su Yi, still frightened from the past when this boy defeated them all.
Su Yi's gaze swept over, and there were about forty people with impressive aura. Among them, Su Yi recognized the man who spoke as one of the small group of mercenaries he had dealt with before.
The Green Emperor didn't pay any attention, simply standing calmly beside Su Yi.
"Who are these people?" Su Xiaoshuai asked casually, showing no concern.
"They are the Bloodblade Mercenary Group!"
On the street, a crowd quickly gathered 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 Su Yi (the boy) and the Green Emperor to shiver. They knew that the Bloodblade Mercenaries had a fearsome reputation in the area.
"You, the one who crippled my mercenaries, do you have a death wish?"
A tall and intimidating man stared coldly at Su Yi. After witnessing so many of his men being defeated by a young boy, he had to reclaim his organization's honor or else the Bloodblade Mercenaries would lose their standing in the area.
"You've come to provoke me again and again, now you won't live to regret it!"
Su Yi stood calmly, not even flinching. His eyes met the gaze of the Green Emperor as he spoke.
*The sound of a sudden crack!*
The Green Emperor's figure vanished from sight. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the most powerful cultivator in the Blood Blade Mercenary Group. His fingers slightly bent, and a green light flickered from his fingertips. It was incredibly sharp and fierce. With a loud crack, the big man didn't even have time to react before his head separated from his body, spraying blood everywhere. But not a drop touched the Green Emperor.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Within the empty space, strange green lights filled the air, carrying a terrifying power that could not be evaded. They pierced through the bodies of several dozen cultivators from the Blood Blade Mercenary Group, leaving behind a cloud of demonic energy.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
As the green lights passed through, these several dozen cultivators, including a Yuan True Realm cultivator, exploded into a mist of blood, turning into nothing but a pile of gore.
"..."
This scene left the onlookers in Man City stunned. The middle-aged man in the green robe was unexpectedly powerful. The Bloodblade Mercenary Group had stepped on a steel plate this time, provoking someone they definitely shouldn't have.
"Don't waste them."
Su Yi picked up several space bags from the ground. They couldn't be wasted.
"Don't go yet."
A faint voice spread, lowering its volume. An old man in a gray robe walked out from the crowd, scanning his surroundings with a slight fluctuation in his eyes.
"You...?"
Su Yi was puzzled, not recognizing this person. It seemed they were not acquainted.
"Not recognizing is for the best. Leave quickly to avoid drawing attention."
The old man's voice changed slightly and turned out to be Xi Wuqing's.
"It's you, elder brother." Su Yi was very surprised. He couldn't recognize that this old man was Xi Wuqing at all; he couldn't even sense his aura.
"Swoosh..."
The three of them immediately left the town, disappearing in the distance.
The people left in the town finally came to their senses after a while, but they could only feel regret for the Blood Blade Mercenary Group.
However, no one really cared. In the Forest of Demons, this kind of thing was too common. Countless people die every day, and even more forces rise and fall. It's just so ordinary.
"Brother, is this the art of disguise? It's so amazing."
On the way, several figures were moving through the dense forest. Su Yi was very interested in Xi Wuqing's appearance. It was nothing like the makeup he remembered from his past life, completely unrecognizable.
"This is a small skill called the art of disguise. Although it has some clever aspects, it's nothing extraordinary." Xi Wuqing nodded. He had to go to Central Region City and decided to slightly alter his appearance to avoid some trouble.
"Is it possible for you to teach me this art of disguise?"
Su Yi became interested. The art of disguise has many wonders. 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 much more convenient.
"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 hurried to the city in the Central Region. They took the opportunity to practice the art of disguise.
The art of disguise was not difficult, but it was not easy either. The most important thing was to completely conceal their aura. Thanks to Su Yi's mastery of the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, it was quite convenient.
The art of disguise also required some external objects and simple medications for assistance.
The art of disguise had many wonders, but unfortunately, Su Yi didn't know how to make the necessary elixirs. He had to ask Xi Wuqing for some. Luckily, the elixirs were not particularly precious.
...
From the Forest of Demons to the city of Central Region, the distance is very far. Luckily, with Su Yi's speed, it wasn't slow. However, in the middle, there is a vast mountain range called the Forest of Demons. Along the way, there are various dangers and ferocious creatures.
But with the presence of the Green Emperor and Xi Wuqing, even the aura of Su Yi and Su Xiaoshuai is enough to deter those demon beasts.
Inside the Forest of Demons, it was the first time for Su Yi to cross it so openly.
During several days, besides a few small towns, Su Yi unexpectedly saw two large cities. Magnificent buildings appeared like islands in the mountains, making it bustling with activity.
This surprised Su Yi, and later he learned from Xi Wuqing that there are many such big cities within the Forest of Demons. It is worth noting that the Forest of Demons is not an endless wasteland, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many powerful forces existing.
After seven days, Xi Wuqing told Su Yi that they were about to leave the Forest of Demons. They would have to pass through a few more big cities before reaching the Central Region, where the Saint Martial Assembly was being held.
Through Xi Wuqing's words, Su Yi gained some understanding about the Central Region. It was rumored to be the largest and most bustling city in the entire area. It seemed to stretch endlessly, with no boundaries.
Even before reaching the Central Region, Su Yi could feel the excitement of the Saint Martial Assembly. The nearby cities were already bustling with activity, as many people were heading towards the Central Region.
In the sky, there were many flying demon beasts carrying people. Their destination was clearly towards the direction of the Central Region.
"Normally, people travel using demon beast mounts or through space portals," Xi Wuqing explained to Su Yi. "Many big cities have interconnected portals for fast travel between them."
