Chapter 237 : Chapter 237
Chapter 237: Destroying the Bai Family!
“Please stay your hand, Fellow Daoist!”
“We are both human. There is no need for us to kill one another. Joining forces against the Eldritch Race is the right course of action.”
As the words fell, a young face appeared before Su Ming.
Su Ming looked at the young man before him. From the aura on his body, he could tell that the other party was also in the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
Faced with the young man’s courteous words, Su Ming gave a disdainful laugh.
“Since I’ve already shown up here, do you really think the filthy business between you and the Eldritch Race can still be kept hidden?”
The moment those words were spoken, the smile on the young man’s face remained, but killing intent began to surface in his eyes.
“Oh?”
“Since you’ve put it that way, then I can only send you to the Eldritch Race as a gift. What a pity for such a genius!”
WHOOSH—As soon as the young man’s words fell, four Heavenly Venerables instantly appeared around Su Ming. Including the young man, there were five Heavenly Venerables in total.
“Oh?”
“Just the five of you?”
“You really think too little of me!”
...
Among the crowd, after hearing the young man’s words, the expression on Chen Shu’s face changed from blankness to shock, and then once more into fear.
She had not expected the other party to personally admit the matter involving the Eldritch Race.
If that was the case, then Su Ming had been right.
However, she was very puzzled as to why it seemed that only she could hear the conversation between Su Ming and the Bai Family.
The other people around them knew nothing about this exchange and were all discussing what had just happened.
What Chen Shu did not know was that the young man had used a special kind of energy to block the conversation from others, but Su Ming had casually nullified it where she was concerned.
Su Ming wanted Chen Shu to witness the truth with her own eyes.
...
Above the pavilion!
Su Ming looked at the people around him and shook his head helplessly.
He had no time to play these childish games with them, where the old came out after the young were beaten.
Time was the most precious thing to him.
“Chen Shu! Come here!”
“It might get dangerous in a moment. Hide inside my Void Domain for a while!”
Su Ming looked toward Chen Shu in the crowd.
The reason he wanted Chen Shu to hide inside the Void Domain was because what was about to happen could easily harm her by accident.
After hearing Su Ming’s voice, Chen Shu found her body flying toward him almost involuntarily.
She did not know why, but she trusted Su Ming that much.
Perhaps it was because, after seeing that Su Ming’s earlier guess had been correct, she had begun to view him differently.
“So you have an accomplice?”
“Looks like she’s one of the people from the Ancient Emperor Ruins.”
“Don’t worry. Once I deal with you, I’ll go kill the people in the Hope Zone right away too!”
As he looked at Chen Shu flying over, the young man’s gaze grew colder and colder.
He would not allow even the slightest oversight to cause the Bai Family’s century-long grand plan to fail.
...
After Chen Shu entered the Void Domain, Su Ming’s body began to float higher and higher.
“You people are too slow!”
The young man watched Su Ming with a wary expression, unable to tell what he was planning.
The image of Su Ming instantly defeating a Heavenly Venerable with a single move was still vivid in his mind.
That was also why he had joined forces with four other Heavenly Venerables to kill Su Ming together.
After rising to a certain height, Su Ming’s eyes filled with killing intent.
“Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect · Sword Domain Descends!”
BZZZZ!!!
In an instant, waves of sword intent spread rapidly outward from Su Ming’s body.
In the blink of an eye, the range of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect · Sword Domain Descends enveloped the entire Heavenly Emperor City.
At the same time, in that very instant, all five Heavenly Venerables, including the young man, felt a terrifying sword intent sweep across their bodies.
“What was that?”
“What just happened?”
They looked at one another, none of them knowing what had just happened.
Very quickly, they realized that it had been caused by Su Ming, and all of them turned to look at him.
“Strike first!”
As the young man’s words fell, the other four attacked Su Ming at the same time.
“Too late!”
In the next moment, ten thousand swords rang out across the entire Heavenly Emperor City, and sword cries filled the air everywhere.
Su Ming stood in the void, looking down at Heavenly Emperor City below with icy indifference.
Behind him, a Sword Emperor Phantom flickered in and out of view.
Compared with the Chaos Phantom from before, this Sword Emperor Phantom appeared far more solid.
Moreover, many golden sword patterns circled around it.
Then Su Ming casually moved both arms.
With each swing of his arms, the Sword Emperor Phantom behind him moved in the same way, then unleashed a heaven-shaking Divine Power.
“World-Breaking Sword Art!”
“Heavensplitting Draw Sword Art!”
...
Each of these Divine Powers possessed enough might to injure an Immortal Realm cultivator.
Faced with such Divine Powers, the five Heavenly Venerables of the Bai Family had no power to resist at all.
Because Su Ming’s Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect · Sword Domain Descends covered the entire Heavenly Emperor City, every Divine Power was striking the whole city at once.
That was also why Su Ming had made Chen Shu enter the Void Domain earlier.
Under such a vast, wide-area Divine Power assault, he could not guarantee that Chen Shu would not be injured.
As the young man looked at the Divine Powers constantly hurtling toward him, the despair in his eyes was plain to see.
“This is... the power of an Immortal!!!”
Even in death, the young man could not understand why a cultivator in the Eighth Tribulation Realm could wield power on the level of the Immortal Realm.
Carrying that confusion with him, the young man died beneath Su Ming’s Divine Powers.
Ten breaths later, the entire Heavenly Emperor City had been reduced to ruins.
At Su Ming’s current Eighth Tribulation Realm, he could only barely maintain Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect · Sword Domain Descends for one minute.
One minute later!
Su Ming slowly descended onto the rooftop of the ruined pavilion.
Su Ming closed his eyes and carefully sensed his surroundings, not even sparing the underground.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.
When he found that not a single aura remained, Su Ming let out a sigh of relief.
The reason he had wanted everyone in the Bai Family to attack together was so he could wipe them all out in one stroke with this move.
But what he had not expected was that the Bai Family had never committed all of their forces.
Fortunately, the ending was still a good one.
He had still underestimated the power of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect · Sword Domain Descends.
Afterward, Su Ming released Chen Shu.
The instant Chen Shu came out, Su Ming’s face turned deathly pale, without the slightest trace of blood.
Seeing this, Su Ming slowly stuffed a pill into his mouth.
That move just now had consumed all of his Spiritual Power. His body was now extremely weak.
【Ding!】
【Congratulations on completing Mission Two: Destroy the Bai Family of Heavenly Emperor City!】
【Issuing reward!】
【Congratulations, you have obtained: Weakened Simulation Attempts ×2】
When he saw the message announcing the mission’s completion, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Su Ming’s lips.
Beside him, Chen Shu looked at the weakened Su Ming and, for a moment, did not know what to say.
Just before entering the Void Domain, she had only just informed Chen Tian about the Bai Family’s collusion with the Eldritch Race.
Yet before much time had even passed, Su Ming alone had directly wiped out Heavenly Emperor City.
“You...”
