Chapter 2172: Into Battle (3)

Su Yu narrowed his eyes. That was actually a decent excuse.

He said, "Whatever. I can't be bothered to argue about something like this. This time, I'll be serving as the vanguard. But what about the myriad races? When will you deploy your people? You're not going to stay absent even after I'm surrounded by enemies on all sides, right?"

Venerable Moon said, "We naturally won't stay idle as you fight. We will wait near the chaos river. As long as you can lure two Venerables out, we will set off and flatten their territory."

Venerable Moon continued, "It will benefit both our parties to fight independently. This way, we don't need to stay wary of each other even while fighting Control King's lineage. This will help us fight better."

That was true as well.

Su Yu nodded, "What if their Master of Law appears out of nowhere?"

Venerable Moon smiled and said, "Even with the appearance of the Master of Law, we'll need to fight. If possible, you can help us with that Master of Law. If not, we will have to face them alone. That is not an opponent we can ignore."

Su Yu nodded. He gazed toward the Chaos Mountain, inhaled deeply, and said, "They might already be ready for us. I believe they will use all their strength this time. Things won't be so simple anymore."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Perhaps many would die this time. That was also why they wanted Su Yu as their vanguard. The first wave of resistance from Control King's lineage would most certainly be intense.

Previously, Su Yu had heavily injured Yue Hao after catching them by surprise. But they would be ready this time. This would be a hard battle.

Su Yu glanced at the others. Venerable Dragon was among them. Thunderstorm was also nearby. At the moment, Thunderstorm was seemingly saying something to him, and both of them were standing quite far away from the other Venerables.

Su Yu wanted to first rob Venerable Dragon, but there was no promise that the weapon would appear immediately. Thus, he might need to first give the dragon a beating. The others might not sit idle as that happened.

The weapon of a Venerable was not something he could get by requesting for it. He could only snatch it through force. This shit mountain was very important to Grand Dream. And something this important must be obtained.

Su Yu said, "In that case, let's enter the Chaos Mountain together. You're supposed to give me the sendoff of an Emperor. I'm quite disappointed, to be honest."

Then, he took the lead and started walking away. At the same time, he sent Heavenbridge a voice transmission, "Teleport us right beside Venerable Dragon later."

"Understood."

Heavenbridge gave a short reply. Tiangu and the others were also amid the crowd. Tiangu, in particular, was paying close attention to Su Yu. In truth, Su Yu's calm was causing him to feel even more anxious.

He was too used to Su Yu being a shit-stirrer. Something would seem off anytime Su Yu wasn't stirring shit. Not even Tiangu knew why he was feeling this way. Perhaps he had been overthinking. After all, Control King's lineage was Su Yu's main target here. Stirring shit now would not benefit him in any way.

They continued moving forward. With the presence of so many powerhouses, the chaos beasts at the outskirts of Chaos Mountain started fleeing before they even arrived. The world itself shook at the presence of so many powerhouses together. Deep inside the Chaos Mountain, a group of solemn powerhouses was waiting.

The Ancestor's voice rang out, "The myriad races and Su Yu are already aware of our goal. They will not give up. The holy race has been hiding and building power for countless years. So long as we can defeat the enemies before us, the Myriad Realms will be ours.

"We only need to wait patiently for the Hell Gate to open and for our ancestor to return. The dao of the holy race will illuminate the Myriad Realms. The entire Myriad Realms will become the personal dao center of the holy race.

"And now, we are summoning Supreme Yu Qing. Supreme Yu Qing is a true expert of the chaos dao, someone who has mastered the will of chaos. (Yu = Control)

"The moment Supreme Yu Qing returns, all the obstacles before us will be swept aside."

The Ancestor continued stirring the emotions of his people. "The holy race is no weaker than the myriad races. However, we have a higher goal. We wish to defeat them without losing too much of our strength."

That was the shared goal of the various parties. Nobody was interested in a pyrrhic victory.

Hearing the Ancestor's words, the numerous powerhouses roared, "We will give our all for the holy race!"

The Ancestor nodded, "We will stop our enemy outside our territory. We won't allow them to disturb the return of Supreme Yu Qing."

Instantly, the auras of four Venerables and more than ten heavenly kings surged. Behind, dozens of peak Daofuses followed. Together, they flew toward the outskirts of the Chaos Mountain.

Apart from the heavily injured Yue Hao, all the known Venerables of their lineage had been deployed, including Yue Luo. The Ancestor stayed behind. His voice reverberated in the air, but he remained deep inside the mountain range.

Or to be precise, he was staying right before the Hell Gate. He was awaiting the return of his senior sister.

Behind the Hell Gate, numerous eyes flickered into existence. One of them, an eye gleaming with intelligence, gazed upon the Ancestor and spoke, "Yue Zhan, how long will this take?"

The Ancestor, also known as Yue Zhan, answered, "It won't take long. Without the interference of the myriad races, it will be completed within six hours."

Fury flickered in those eyes as the voice said, "News was leaked...too early."

The timing was too coincidental. She was displeased with this. Yue Zhan had no excuse for himself. Indeed. It was so coincidental that he couldn't help but wonder if there was a traitor among them.

Did Su Yu really learn about this from the Hell Gate projection they consumed? But since it had happened, it was pointless to ask more about it.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu's group had reached the chaos river.

All around them, chaos beasts were observing them.

Su Yu looked around and laughed. "The rest of you can stop here. I can already sense their surging auras. Looks like they can't wait to meet me. Everyone, remember to move promptly to support me. Otherwise, I might decide to withdraw if we aren't a match for them.

"Wait, why don't we attack together. I don't feel too comfortable doing things this way. It feels like we're using a human-wave tactic on them."

It was then that Venerable Dragon spoke, "Since you have accepted our gifts, it is only natural that you test our enemies for us..."

That was an inconsequential remark. But an excuse was precisely what Su Yu had been waiting for.

Before anyone could react, Su Yu raged, "Audacious. How dare you question me? Die!"

Boom!

With a flicker, Su Yu's entire group appeared before Venerable Dragon. Everyone was stunned. Their brains hummed as they struggled to react. What was this? Wasn't this guy supposed to be setting off for war?

Holy shit!

Why was he suddenly turning against them? Even Consort Emeritus and the others were stunned. But after the short shock, they raged. Sacred Marquis roared and shot toward Su Yu's group alongside the other Venerables.

Damn it!

Just what was this guy trying to do?

Right at that moment, Tiangu's expression changed as he thought of something. He roared, "Don't--"

It wasn't a good thing for them to turn against each other now. Su Yu's group attacked the stunned dragon. Venerable Dragon's expression changed drastically.

Holy shit!

Why was this happening? That was merely a random remark. Why was this madman trying to kill him for it? These were four Venerables! Su Yu, in particular, felt so powerful that Venerable Dragon could feel the approach of death itself.

With a roar, a gigantic mountain manifested before him. It was the Coiled Dragon Mountain, shaped both like a turtle and a dragon. The mountain had been refined into a powerful weapon.

Venerable Dragon could no longer think of anything. He had to resist with all his strength. Otherwise, he could very well die from this. He attempted to flee while blocking the attacks, but suddenly, his scalp turned numb.

A sense of danger was coming behind him as well. Thus, he stopped stepping back as all his hair stood on end.

Thunderstorm!

Yes! It was that damned Thunderstorm! He was with them!

These people had all gone mad!

Boom!

As that thought crossed his mind, the four powerhouses moved. Three attacked Venerable Dragon while Fat Ball opened his mouth wide and swallowed the entire mountain before them.

Boom!

With a rumble, three attacks landed, sending Venerable Dragon flying far away while coughing blood. Numerous bloody holes appeared on his body.

Then, Su Yu switched his fist into a blade before swinging at the dragon. His willpower rippled out alongside the blade, "Relinquish your control over the Coiled Dragon Mountain or die!"

All Venerable Dragon could see was the blade before his eyes. With fear and despair, he roared, spat a mouthful of blood, and released his control over the mountain.

"Withdraw!"

With that, Su Yu's group vanished again. Only then did Sacred Marquis and the others arrive. Their attacks struck empty air and laid waste to the area around them.

Su Yu's voice rang out in the air, "That was a joke. Why are you taking things so seriously? Alright, we're off to kill our enemies! Let's go! Exterminate the sinned lineage!"

When Sacred Marquis and the others turned around, they were greeted with the sight of Su Yu's group charging forward in excitement.

They wanted to give chase, but all stopped soon after. Instead, they looked at each other speechlessly.

Some were furious, while some felt helpless.

How should they react to this?

Were they supposed to give chase and fight Su Yu to the death?

To the side, Venerable Dragon was still coughing blood in confusion. Moments later, understanding dawned on him as he roared with fury, "Thunderstorm!"

Su Yu's group had left to attack their enemies. Were they supposed to give chase? Thus, he could only direct his rage toward Thunderstorm.

Damn it!

Thunderstorm had prevented him from retreating while Su Yu's group was attacking!

As for Thunderstorm, he sighed inwardly. He knew it. He knew trouble would come for him. So be it. At the very least, this was a smaller trouble than what he would face from Su Yu's side.
