Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 444: Violent Victory (1)

Zhao Ming went over without any hesitation. With the murderous look in these students\' eyes, it was clear they were going to cause trouble during the match.

The moment Zhao Ming arrived, he looked at the students of both teams and seriously said, "You are not allowed to kill your opponent for no reason. I will interfere when someone is at risk of death."

Su Yu smiled, "Teacher, what if we kill by accident? An accident can\'t be considered killing for no reason, right?"

"..."

Zhao Ming ignored Su Yu and looked at Li Shiyun\'s team. None of them said anything. Neither side would give up on the chance to kill the other side if such a chance appeared.

Sure, a Cloudbreach referee would make that hard. But that also meant that if even a Cloudbreach referee failed to prevent the death of a student, the killer would take no blame. The referee would be the one to take responsibility for the death. After all, he was a Cloudbreach and they were only students. It wouldnt be too surprising if they couldn\'t control their own strength too well.

Sure, the students might also shoulder some blame for the killing, but that was no big deal. The single character faction would be more than happy to help them deal with the aftermath if they could kill Su Yu.

Realizing all that, Zhao Ming cursed inwardly.

Fuck!

These bastards were clearly trying to create trouble for him. As the leader of the referees and a Cloudbreach cultivator, he couldn\'t even find a reason to request the students to hold back during their match for his sake.

"I will interfere when needed."

Zhao Ming raised his voice, emphasizing on the fact that he would interfere.

"Start!"

At the exact moment, all 300 acupoints of Su Yu activated.

"Sky Sundering!"

With a roar, he attacked with only the power of his source qi. All 300 acupoints in his body unleashed an intense storm of source qi. Su Yu\'s entire body shone brightly. He swung the saber in his hand.

"Kill!"

His vitality surged.

Boom!

One of his opponents, Xie Hu, was just about to seal Su Yu with a character. But his attempt was ineffective as Su Yu wasn\'t using his willpower at all. His valiant vitality and source qi were able to blast through the seal with no effort whatsoever.

Boom!

A character burst apart. How strong was Su Yu\'s body? That was a body with 300 opened acupoints. It was much stronger than the body of a regular Infinite Strength cultivator. His vitality was extremely robust. With the power of his vitality alone, he had smashed through the seal of his opponent before destroying the character that had tried to place a seal on him.

The sole female on the opposing team, Sun Qian, had also launched her attack on Su Yu at the same time. She specialized in weakening her opponents. She intended to weaken Su Yu with her character, but before she could even approach Su Yu, her willpower and character destabilized from the collision with Su Yu\'s vitality and source qi.

Su Yu was too fast.

Incredibly fast.

The first move of the Sky Sundering Saber was used. With a flicker, he appeared before Xu Ming, the person who Li Shiyun had told to engage Su Yu in melee combat. Xu Ming\'s expression changed to shock. With a roar, his willpower erupted. As he was the one charging in front of his team, he was the first person to stand in Su Yu\'s way.

His cultivation of ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm erupted. It was worth noting that he was someone who had only fused eight acupoints for his advancement, making him an Eight Strength Realm cultivator. His willpower had barely surged out before an incorporeal hammer appeared and descended, instantly stunning him.

"Xu Ming!" Li Shiyun roared, "Kill him!"

His acupoints erupted in power as he sent his cultural weapon shooting toward Su Yu. The other students also attacked. Booms resounded unceasingly as they launched their attacks.

"Sky Sundering!"

Another saber attack was activated, stacked on top of the first saber attack. Before the saber even landed, Xu Ming\'s body had already been reduced to mangled flesh by the saber qi. It was only then that he finally regained a tiny bit of his consciousness. At the realization of what had happened to him, his expression changed massively.

"Transform!"

With a roar by Li Shiyun, a character activated and caused Xu Ming to shrink in size. That was a transformation character. Alas, that was not enough.

Whoosh!

The saber continued descending. With a horrified expression, Xu Ming started detonating his acupoints. Borrowing the temporary burst of source qi produced by the detonated acupoints, he swung his hand at Su Yu\'s saber.

Bang!

Xu Ming was overjoyed when his arm stopped the sabers advance. He might have been forced to destroy some of his acupoints, but he had managed to survive the attack. That thought had barely crossed his mind when he felt a sharp pain coming from his chest.

He looked down and saw a sharp blade jutting out of his chest. Without him realizing it, blood started dripping out of his mouth. When he looked up again, he saw that Su Yu had already pulled away from him.

"I"

He then staggered and dropped to one knee. His vision started turning dark as he wondered if he was dead. Impossible! He was a peak Mental Tempering Stage and ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator. The instant his consciousness faded, Zhao Ming pulled him out of the ring with a curse.

Holy shit!

The match had just started and it was already so intense. He started madly sending white rays onto Xu Ming\'s body. Xu Ming was suffering from the destruction of his acupoints, destabilization of his willpower, and a physical wound on his chest. Without immediate treatment, Xu Ming would die.

After giving Xu Ming an emergency treatment, Zhao Ming tossed him over to Elder Sun and said, "Do it yourself!"

He was furious. While he was administering treatment to Xu Ming a moment ago, Su Yu had taken the chance to appear above Sun Qian with a flicker before stomping his foot down. As his foot descended, illusions formed around it.

"Save me!"

Sun Qian cried for help. The baleful aura descending upon her was so intense that she felt like her body was going to burst apart. First, her hair disintegrated. Next, her skin split, and blood flowed out. If that kick could land, she would definitely die.

Li Shiyun, Xie Hu, and Wang Chao had desperate looks on their faces. Wang Chao roared as his arm turned into a tentacle before lashing out at Su Yu\'s head. But before the tentacle could reach Su Yu, it burst apart.

Beyond the mangled tentacle, Su Yu could be seen nonchalantly pulling back his bloodied saber. Su Yu was too strong. With 300 acupoints opened, his offensive power was much higher than that of a regular Sky Sundering Saber cultivator.

Apart from the Sky Sundering Saber, Su Yu also had many other heaven-grade techniques to use. After all, he had fully opened the acupoints for the first two moves of the Time technique, Crushing Mountainsea and Suppressing Sunmoon.

There were also the Soul Devouring Art and the Body Strengthening Art. One granted him a strong physical body while the other allowed him to corrode the willpower of his opponents. The Soul Expanding Hammer was also an incredible technique. Even a peak Mental Tempering Stage like Xu Ming could be stunned with a single strike of that hammer.

Wang Chao\'s tentacle had failed to stop Su Yu. Meanwhile, Sun Qian was looking incredibly miserable with her mangled head and the blood pouring down from the top of her head. She couldn\'t find a way to escape Su Yu\'s attack.

"KIll him!"

She wailed madly. In her desperation, she detonated a fused acupoint of hers.

Boom!

The explosion destroyed Su Yu\'s shoe, but it failed to leave any damage to his flesh. With a cold snort, he continued stomping down.

Of the other three students, Wang Chao had lost an arm while Xie Hu had lost a character. Li Shiyun was the only uninjured person left. He noiselessly appeared behind Su Yu before pushing his sword toward Su Yu\'s neck.

That was a very strong attack. However, Su Yu was still able to instantly react to the attack. Moving at an incomparably fast speed, he allowed the sword to dig into his neck. Ignoring the blood pouring out of his neck, he smiled and spread his arms before wrapping them around Li Shiyun.

He tightened his grip.

The Soul Devouring Art activated. Li Shiyun wailed in pain and hurriedly pulled his willpower back. But without his willpower, he lacked the strength to break free from Su Yu\'s hug. He might be a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator, but his physical strength was far weaker than Su Yu\'s. With a sudden pop, both his arms burst apart due to Su Yu\'s tight hug.

"What a weak body."

Was this really a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator? This was an Infinite Strength cultivator with 72 acupoints who had advanced after fusing only 7 acupoints. This was an incredibly weak ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator.

Even at this moment, Su Yu was still in the middle of stomping down on Sun Qian.

While Li Shiyun was crying out in pain, Xie Hu resisted the pain of his mangled arm and reached out toward Sun Qian before pulling her out of Su Yu\'s way.

Bang!

At that moment, Su Yu finally arrived. Sun Qian had already been dragged away, but one of her legs was still in the way. That leg was completely crushed by Su Yu\'s stomp. Su Yu still had Li Shiyun in his arms. With a sneer, he activated the power of all his apertures.

His hammer reappeared. With a rumble, it struck Li Shiyun\'s head, directly knocking him unconscious.

Su Yu reached out with his right hand and grabbed Li Shiyun\'s head. Glancing at Zhao Ming who was about to interfere, he grinned and smashed Li Shiyun into the ground.

Bang!

The impact created a massive shockwave while Li Shiyun\'s body started breaking apart. With a curse, Zhao Ming grabbed Li Shiyun and stabilized the explosive power running havoc within Li Shiyun\'s body.

But right at that moment, yet another wail rang out in the ring. Sun Qian, who had just lost a leg, had been stabbed through her chest by Su Yu\'s saber. By the time Zhao Ming looked over, Su Yu had already appeared above Xie Hu.

He was simply too fast. His opponents were completely unable to keep up with him. Sure, their willpower would be fast enough to follow him, but they would be burned each time they tried using their willpower.

It wasn\'t like they had come to this tournament unprepared. They came with defensive talismans. But they weren\'t even able to activate their talismans in time. The activation of talismans wasn\'t instantaneous. Su Yu was simply too fast.

With yet another curse, Zhao Ming grabbed Sun Qian. Yet another student was on the verge of death. In the blink of an eye, three out of five students had been pushed to the verge of death. It was now Sun Qian\'s turn.

Oh, there was also that Xie Hu. Zhao Ming wondered if he should wait there for a moment and took Xie Hu out while he was at it. If he did nothing, all these students would die. Su Yu was too strong. His physical body was unparalleled. His willpower was powerful. He also had unique abilities to burn and strike one\'s willpower.

Su Yu seemed to be incredibly good in both offense and defense. His physical body was much stronger than even the bodies of some regular ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivators. Just look at how easily he had turned Li Shiyun into a lump of mangled flesh right after closing the distance between them.

When Su Yu saw Zhao Ming reaching out at Sun Qian, he grinned and released a strand of flame from the saber that was still stabbed through Sun Qian\'s chest. At the same time, a burst of lightning power erupted from the saber.

The lightning power spread everywhere, covering the single strand of fire that had come out of the saber.

Crash!

With the prowess of his second-tier lightning character, Sun Qian was instantly blasted into pieces, leaving only her head intact. The moment she opened her head, she wailed in pain.

Fire.

That one strand of fire was pushing her sea of willpower to the brink of collapse.

"Save...me..."

When Sun Qian saw Zhao Ming, she pleaded miserably.

"Impudent!" The furious Elder Sun was about to interfere when he calmed himself down and shouted, "We concede!"

Su Yu was simply too fast. Su Yu was so fast that even a Mountainsea like him was nearly unable to react in time.

Xu Ming had been crippled. Li Shiyun was almost dead. Sun Qian had also been crippled. Xie Hu was dying. In comparison, Wang Chao was in a much better condition. He had only lost a single arm.

They had been beaten too miserably. Their opponent was too strong. Even the Skysoar and Cloudbreach cultivators present stood up in shock upon witnessing Su Yu\'s prowess.

"Sky Sundering Saber!"

"300 opened acupoints!"

Was this kid still a human? There was no way he was a human!

Who in their right mind would open 300 acupoints at the Great Strength Realm? Furthermore, he had multiple heaven-grade techniques in his possession. From what they saw, he had a heaven-grade art that could strengthen his body, a heaven-grade leg technique, and the heaven-grade Sky Sundering Saber...

Su Yu actually had three heaven-grade techniques in his possession! And on top of all that, he also had an incredibly powerful soul technique and multiple second-tier characters.

Was this really a Great Strength cultivator? Was this really a Mental Tempering Stage cultivator? They could totally start viewing Su Yu as a Skysoar instead!

Even a regular Skysoar from the single character faction would only have one second-tier character and a body that had not been forged with blood essence. Currently, Su Yu felt even stronger than these cultivators who were the actual Skysoar cultivators.

Su Yu showed no reaction to what Elder Sun said. Conceding? It wouldn\'t count unless it came from the mouth of an actual combatant.

Right after Zhao Ming had saved Sun Qian, Su Yu\'s leg stomped down. Zhao Ming immediately materialized one of his characters and sent it toward Xie Hu. A loud bang rang out.

A blinding golden radiance appeared around Xie Hu\'s body. He had not created the golden radiance himself. It was Zhao Ming\'s character that was protecting him.

Zhao Ming was a Cloudbreach cultivator. Su Yu was still not a match for someone at that level. He had no way of breaking through that layer of defense. When Zhao Ming saw that, he exhaled in relief.

Holy shit. He almost let one of the students die!

This little bastard was too fast. In the blink of an eye, four of his opponents had been defeated. All these students were as strong as the top ten students. Even with five of them working together, four of them had been defeated in less than ten seconds!

Wait. Four? Zhao Ming\'s face changed.

"Stop! The victory is yours!"

With the announcement from the referee himself, the match came to an official end.

Right before that, Su Yu had been swinging his saber at Wang Chao\'s neck while a hammer slammed into Wang Chaos head from above, stunning him completely. Su Yu proceeded to cut Wang Chaos neck after stunning his opponent. When Zhao Mings announcement came, Wang Chaos head was a tiny bit away from being severed from his body.

Due to Zhao Ming\'s announcement, Su Yu stopped his attack.

Turning to look at Zhao Ming, Su Yu smiled, "Teacher, I will stop out of respect for you. If it was any other referee, I would not stop until the actual combatant himself surrenders."

He then put his saber away. Wang Chao crumpled onto the ground, a puddle of blood around him. He was barely even breathing anymore.

Xie Hu, who was protected within a layer of golden barrier, was in a much better condition than his team members. He had nothing but terror in his eyes.

Defeat.

Absolute defeat.

If it wasn\'t for Zhao Ming, all five of them would have been killed in less than 10 seconds. A sense of sorrow welled within his heart. Apart from a destroyed character, he had not suffered other injuries.

Sun Qian was the worst off, followed by Wang Chao, Li Shiyun, and Xu Ming. The former two had suffered willpower injuries while the latter two had suffered physical injuries. They had basically been turned into cripples.

Without extensive and expensive treatment, all four of them would not be able to recover from these injuries.

In truth, the destruction of a character could actually be considered a heavy injury. But even with such an injury, Xie Hu was actually the least injured person in the team. Without Zhao Ming, he would have been killed by that stomp of Su Yu\'s.

Standing in the ring, Su Yu smiled. He looked confident and at ease in his neat clothes. Apart from a tiny bit of bloodstain, his clothes still look as good as new. Right, there was also the shoe Sun Qian had ruined when detonating one of her acupoints.

Since one of his legs was bare, he tore the remaining half of the shoes off as well. Standing on the bloody floor with his bare legs, he flashed Elder Sun a gentle smile.

"Elder Sun, I hope you can treat all of them. These are all the elites of the single character faction. You don\'t want to disappoint your members by abandoning them after using them, right?"

With these injuries, Elder Sun would need over 10,000 merit points to heal them up. Would he be willing to spend that much money on them? They were merely some Mental Tempering Stage students. Were they worth it?
