Numerous geniuses were scattered all over the eastern sector.
The frontlines had been very chaotic and busy as of late. Thus, some people had taken that opportunity to sneak through the frontlines. Some of these geniuses were humans who were roaming the eastern sector to hunt the infiltrators. Some of these geniuses were the infiltrators who were here to challenge the human geniuses.
As for Su Yu, he had missed out on a chance to meet Huang Teng and Wu Qi. Of course, even if he did meet them, he wouldn't operate alongside them. Huang Teng was someone who had beaten his teacher three times. He had promised Bai Feng to return this favor one day.
Even without a mount, Su Yu was still able to move rapidly. But after the series of encounters, he was a lot more cautious than before. This place was extremely dangerous. But it was also exhilarating.
This was the feeling he had been searching for. A feeling where danger was everywhere. This was the same sensation he used to feel in his nightmares. And now, this sensation had returned to him!
His tribulation character constantly pulsed. The calm character was kept active, helping him stay calm and reducing the cautiousness of others around him. During this first trip beyond the Eastpart City, Su Yu felt like he had joined a game of predator and prey. It seemed incredibly interesting.
Some people seemed to have sneaked through the frontlines during the chaotic battles there. And these people seemed to be everywhere, seeking for their respective prey. How exciting. Was the Allheaven Battlefield so exciting all the time?
Little did Su Yu know, things hadn't been this intense for many years. The Vanguard Regiment had always been a very busy army, but things were clearly different this year as they had to get involved in battle after battle. The last time things were so intense was fifty years ago.
Su Yu's body was faintly discernible as he traveled in the sky. Below him, some vultures could be seen heading toward the frontlines. Some lone travelers could also be seen. Perhaps they were roaming around looking for prey, or perhaps they were looking for some other opportunities.
Slaughter was the main theme of the Allheaven Battlefield.The Perception Jade was kept fully active at all times. Su Yu also paid full attention on his surroundings with his senses stretched to their limit. Not far away, a battle seemed to have broken out.
After sensing the battle, Su Yu moved in its direction. In less than a minute, he arrived. He was just about to conceal himself before observing the battle when he saw someone vanishing while dragging a corpse behind him. The victor seemed to be a human while the corpse belonged to a large demonic beast.
The human did not even look behind him as he warned, "I'm Great Jin's Jin Biyue. If you're a human as well, stay out of my way."
After saying that, he vanished into thin air.
"It's him?"
Su Yu knew this person. This was a genius from Great Jin, someone ranked rather high in the Yellow Index. He was someone comparable to Great Xia's Wu Qi. After spreading his senses around, Su Yu was astonished. The dead beast seemed to be a seventh-stage Cloudbreach.
Holy shit!
Who was it that had told him that a Skysoar could do well in the Allheaven Battlefield? But look, he had just arrived not long yet he had already killed a Cloudbreach. And this fellow from Great Jin had just killed a Cloudbreach as well. Two Cloudbreaches had died in such a short span of time. A Skysoar doing well here? Was that a joke?
Suddenly, his eyes flickered as he vanished into thin air again. Right at that moment, an arrow appeared out of nowhere and struck his previous position. Not far away, a silhouette flickered and vanished.
"Fuck!"
Su Yu streaked toward the attacker. How dare this fellow mount a sneak attack on him? He was fast, but the other person was also extremely fast.
The two vanished into the distance. Moments later, some other people arrived. One of them scanned the area and smiled, "This seems to be the Profound Breaker Arrow. Is that guy from Great Yuan testing a newbie? Has a newbie arrived?"
"I guess so. Which prefecture are the recent newcomers from? That Yuan Shihao seems to be mentally ill. For some reason, he loves provoking newbies. It's not like he hasn't been beaten up for this before. Hopefully, this newbie is not too terrible. That Yuan Shihao deserves another beating."
"Don't get your hopes high. Yuan Shihao might be mental, but he's quite strong."
***
Meanwhile, Su Yu was still chasing his attacker. After a while, the young man ahead of him stopped running. He looked at Su Yu with a look of madness and grinned in an absolutely unrestrained manner.
"Too slow. You're not good enough. Great Ming's Cui Lang? Since you're a weaponsmith, just go back and stick to weaponsmithing. Killing is an activity for people like us. Weaklings like you have no business here."
"You must be sick." Su Yu cursed. Holy shit. So it was really a human.
That arrow earlier was fast, but it was honestly not too destructive. Perhaps it was merely meant to test his strength instead of killing.
"How do you know about my sickness?" The young man said, "Cui Lang, you're too weak. You better fuck off or I'll have to use you to lure some fellows out."
"You?" Su Yu smiled. He observed the young man for a bit and said, "Come with me. There are too many people here. We have too many spectators hiding nearby. This isn't a good place to fish. Come with me. I'll take you somewhere with fewer people to fish."
After saying that, Su Yu vanished with a flicker.
The young man called Yuan Shihao laughed and vanished into thin air as well.
***
A few minutes later, Su Yu arrived before a mountain. He stopped and vanished into thin air.
At the next moment, Yuan Shihao appeared. He looked around. His eyes flickered as he took out a bow, pulled the string, and unleashed an arrow at the spot Su Yu had vanished previously.
Boom!
Space shattered while a large hammer appeared right above Yuan Shihao. His source qi erupted and blasted the hammer apart. But immediately after, dozens of hammers appeared all around him.
Booming sounds rang out repeatedly as the hammers struck down at him unceasingly. The hammer strikes generated numerous vibrations that stacked with each other. One stack, two stacks, three stacks...and eventually, it reached eighteen stacks.
With a rumble, Yuan Shihao's willpower defense was finally smashed apart. Dizziness assaulted him while his mind screamed at him of danger. Before he could think of anything, an incomparably powerful clump of flame appeared around him. His clothes were burned into nothingness. Even the hair on his body was burned clean.
Not a single strand of hair remained on his entire body. Then, a fist shot out of nowhere, punching Yuan Shihao's face and flattening his nose. Blood sprayed out like a waterfall.
Stepping out of thin air, Su Yu looked around and sneered, "Kid, when your Grandpa Lang started traveling the world, you were still playing with mud somewhere. If we're not in the human territory, and if your first arrow had been launched with the intention to kill, you would be dead already."
After leaving those words behind, Su Yu vanished.
After about two seconds, Yuan Shihao finally recovered from his dizziness. He rubbed his nose and stained his palm with blood, but he did not seem to mind. He laughed and said, "Interesting. Cui Lang, I'll remember you."
***
"He's definitely sick in the head."
Somewhere else, Su Yu was cursing. That fellow was crazy. That was the vibe he got from that fellow.
So that was Great Yuan's Yuan Shihao? That was one of the geniuses he had read about. Basically, that was a madman.
He had even been captured by the military several times because of his random attacks on fellow humans. But since he never attacked with the intention to kill, his life was spared. But that fellow had still been sent to the Vanguard Regiment twice as punishment, once as a Skysoar and once as a Cloudbreach. Each time, he served his sentence and killed the required number of enemies before he was released. But after his release, he would return to his old ways.
From the way that fellow was acting, he was probably trying to get into the Vanguard Regiment again.
Yes, that was most likely the case. The Vanguard Regiment was the army with the highest intensity and frequency of battles. That madman was trying to get into that place so that he would have an excuse to kill as many people as he wanted.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, Su Yu rubbed his chin and considered getting into the Vanguard Regiment as well. Forget it. There were too many people there. He wouldn't be able to fight freely.
That Yuan Shihao was actually decently strong. He might not have used all his strength earlier. Like Su Yu, he had also been suppressing his strength. Su Yu wouldn't have obtained a victory so easily otherwise.
"The hammer is pretty strong with eighteen stacks, but that's probably my limit for now. Teacher is a lot more impressive with his over a hundred stacks. With one hit, even Mountainseas would be stunned."
Su Yu couldn't help but think about Old Zhao. After entering the Mountainsea Realm, with his incredible willpower and Soul Expanding Hammer, Su Yu believed that he would be able to stun a regular fifth or sixth-stage Mountainsea with a single strike.
As for Su Yu himself, he was far from that level. His mastery of the Soul Expanding Art was not high enough. Otherwise, he would be able to defeat Yuan Shihao with only one hammer strike.
"I'm not interested in playing with these people here."
Su Yu muttered to himself. He didn't dare to use his real strength in the human territory. He had to cross the frontlines. This place could be considered the hinterland of the human territory. It was pointless to stay here.
Since he was finally out here, he wouldn't return before killing to his heart's content. Even better if he could kill some geniuses. The heavenly rewards were not the only reason he wanted to kill. He also wanted to fully release his nature through battle. He was worried that after staying patient for so long, he would really turn into a coward.
He resumed his journey at a rapid pace, not even bothering to slow down and appreciate the beautiful starry sky above him. If he was already outside the human territory, he would have beaten Yuan Shihao to death for the provocation. But since he was still within the human territory, he decided against that. What if an Invincible discovered what he did? That would be troublesome.
Some people, like Yuan Shihao, simply needed to be taught a lesson. Not everyone was interested in playing that game with him.
Su Yu continued heading toward the Vanguard Regiment. There, he might be able to see his Teacher Liu. He wondered if things would be dangerous there. Then again, he wouldn't be participating in any of the battles there. That was a place that might be under the monitoring of Invincibles at all times. He wouldn't risk exposing himself.
Furthermore, several of his enemies were currently in the Vanguard Regiment.
Members of Great Xia's single character faction like Zhou Mingren, Zheng Yuming, and Elder Ma were all there. He wondered if these people had been creating trouble for Liu Wenyan. According to what Su Yu heard, Zhou Mingren had left for the Allheaven Battlefield the day after the trial. He had probably reached the Vanguard Regiment already.
