Chapter 1745: Chapter 1,648, blending in with the group of corpses
Translator: 549690339
“Corpse Emperor Bai Qi?”Su Yu pondered and said thoughtfully, “Are you talking about that white-furred corpse king?”
“Yes!”Tian zu said respectfully.
After the corpse king was the emperor corpse, then what was the corpse emperor?
“How’s his strength?”Su Yu’s eyes flashed. From the situation when they fought back then, he was only equivalent to a single crowned emperor.
“Three-crowned Emperor!”Tian zu said.
Eh? Su Yu’s pupils contracted violently. Three-crowned emperor?
Even the legendary strongest creature in the great yu imperial court had only touched the edge of the three-crowned emperor.
If the white-furred corpse was so powerful, it wouldn’t have been injured by Su Yu’s sword back then.
Sensing Su Yu’s suspicion, Tian zu added, “He was at his peak. He is still a single-crowned emperor.”
That was more like it.
“What about Lan Yue?”Su Yu frowned.
He did not have a good impression of this woman.
She loved fame and fortune, was narrow-minded, and was vicious after gaining power.
This kind of woman had actually become the queen of the corpse emperor, Bai Qi.
Was there a secret that no one knew about?
“I got what I wanted.”Xue Guanyin clenched her fists and looked at the deathly silent old place with deep hatred. “How could she be so vicious? If I knew this day would come, I would have killed her with one slap!”
Su Yu stared at Tian zu and his eyes flashed. “Then why are you staying here?”
Tian zu did not dare to hide anything. He said, “It was the Moon Empress who ordered us to wait for your return!”
“Wait for us?”Su Yu did not understand.
Tian zu looked at Su Yu carefully and said hesitantly, “To be precise, we are waiting for you! She asked us to capture you alive and hand you over to her to deal with personally.”
Su Yu laughed angrily, “How are you going to deal with me?”
“She didn’t say, but judging from her expression at that time, she probably wasn’t much better than the pavilion master of the Red Leaf Branch.”
“Hehe…”Su Yu couldn’t understand Lan Yue’s brain.
From the beginning to the end, he had never harmed this woman in the slightest, and he had even saved her many times.
But what about her? He didn’t know why, but she hated Su Yu instead.
It was simply inexplicable!
“Last question, since you are a living creature, why didn’t the four imperial guards of the corpse clan attack you?”
Tian Zu’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t say anything.
“Humph!”Su Yu’s eyes shot out a beam of light, piercing into the depths of his soul. “Soul control technique!”
Ah —
Tian zu only had time to Groan before controlling his soul.
“Answer me, how did you do it?”
Tian Zu’s eyes were lifeless as he said, “The corpse clan specially developed the Sky Corpse Powder.”
“Where is it?”
“It’s in the storage space.”
Su Yu sucked in the air and sucked his soft body over. With a glance, he immediately found that there was a space fluctuation around his body.
A ball of space divine power gathered in his palm. Su Yu reached into it and grabbed a white jade box.
The box contained countless purplish-black powder that gave off a dense corpse qi.
“How do I use it?”
“As long as I store a small amount in the inner mansion, the corpse clan will determine that you are of the same race through the corpse qi. They will not attack you,”Tian zu explained.
Implanted into the inner mansion? Su Yu understood.
“En, you can go now,”Su Yu said indifferently. The Silver Firebird opened its mouth and swallowed its entire soul.
The feathers on its body became more realistic, and even its eyes became more intelligent.
Killing the leader of the guards with a single move, Jian Hongniang was extremely respectful.
“Senior, it seems that we need to make a trip to ancient star.”Su Yu said to Jian Hongniang.
The other party hurriedly bowed back and said, “Senior SU, please don’t kill Hongniang. I don’t dare to call you senior.”
She smiled bitterly in her heart. If she had known that Su Yu hid such powerful strength, how would she dare to call herself senior?
Su Yu didn’t bother to be polite. He said, “I’ll keep some of the heavenly corpse powder for myself.”
Xue Guanyin took a portion of the heavenly corpse powder and kept it in the inner residence. She said, “The head pavilion master was clearly waiting for us to retrieve the Beixin Royal Cauldron. Why did he suddenly launch a punitive expedition? Did something happen and he changed his mind at the last minute?”
“Maybe not.”Su Yu sighed. “I think he had planned it from the beginning.”
“He gave us an impossible mission. It was merely to send away the most promising junior of the Sea of constellations ahead of time, leaving the Sea of constellations with a spark. That’s why he immediately launched a crusade against the ancient star the moment we left.”
Xue Guanyin’s throat was hoarse, as if something had blocked it. She was unable to speak.
Tears filled her crystal-clear eyes. She choked and said, “Are you saying that the head pavilion master had an ominous premonition a long time ago?”
It was more than bad premonition? Perhaps Huangfu Lieyang had already predicted their ending.
Empress Zi Wei, Heartless Blade Emperor, and Xue Guanyin might have had some of their memories erased by Huangfu Lieyang, but Su Yu had cleverly preserved them.
In that memory, Huangfu Lieyang had revealed a secret to them that no one knew.
That was, thirty thousand years ago, that palm strike from the emperor’s corpse did not recover at all. Instead, it kept getting heavier.
He didn’t have much time left. Once his injuries couldn’t be suppressed and exploded, his life force would be cut off, and then… he would turn into a corpse clan!
A corpse clan with two crowns!
This battle was a desperate one. He had no chance of winning.
If he could win, he could calm down the ancient corpse’s hidden danger.
Unfortunately, from the current situation, there was no sign of victory. Instead, he was in a desperate situation.
Looking up at the ancient star, Su Yu had a premonition that the line of fate was fluctuating even more intensely.
He was unwilling to go there if there was no need.
However, Xia Jingyu and Sheng Ge’s whereabouts were unknown. They had either died in battle and turned into the corpse race, or they were among the remaining living beings that were surrounded by the allied army.
“Let’s Go!”Su Yu’s eyes shone with determination. Yin and yang Qi appeared above his head. In an instant, he left the Star Pavilion and headed straight for the ancient star.
The closer they got to the ancient star, the more intense the evil purple light became.
Roar —
Before they could even get close, dozens of transformed corpse clansmen rushed out.
They sniffed and expressionlessly turned around to return to the ancient star.
Su Yu sensed that the heavenly corpse powder in the inner residence had a slight sign of heat.
This item was indeed useful!
Relieved, everyone descended onto the ancient star.
What greeted them was a shocking scene.
The entire ancient star was densely packed with countless transformed corpse clansmen.
It was densely packed like an endless forest.
They crowded together and roared as they ran in a certain direction.
Ear piercing strange cries and the densely packed corpse horde made their hair stand on end.
“Where are they going?”Xue Guanyin transmitted her voice.
Su Yu’s eyes were filled with wisdom. “There are only two places. One is to pay respects to the Supreme Corpse Emperor, and the other is to surround and attack the Trapped Creatures Alliance army! We’ll know once we investigate.”
The three of them looked at each other and entered the vast zombie crowd without any change in expression, following them forward.
A few days passed, and a huge city wall that was hundreds of thousands of feet tall appeared in front of them.
The city wall was built with bronze coffins. It was messy and irregular, and it could be seen that it was built in a hurry.
The endless zombie crowd crazily attacked inside, but without exception, they were all blasted into pieces by the divine arts above the city wall as soon as they got close.
“We’re lucky to have met the Life Alliance.”Su Yu smiled and separated the zombies in front of him, leading two people to imitate the zombies.
Xue Guanyin and Jian Hongniang understood and pretended to be zombies, following the zombie horde and slowly approaching the city wall.
As long as they were within ten thousand feet of the city wall, they would have the strength to jump into it.
Boom —
The first batch of zombies were blasted into dust, and the next batch was filled in, so Su Yu and the others could take a step forward.
The process was extremely long, and Su Yu and the other two were patient. They didn’t dare to make any drastic movements to avoid being seen through.
If they were really seen through and surrounded by countless corpses, it would be even harder to escape than ascending to the heavens.
Finally, they entered the first three batches, three thousand Zhang away from the city wall.
As long as the first two batches were eliminated, they would be able to follow the momentum and charge into the city wall.
The three of them felt different degrees of urgency.
Soon, they had finally reached this step.
Wu Wu Wu —
All of a sudden, a series of low-pitched horns came from behind the army.
The group of corpses in front of Su Yu changed their charging posture and turned around to run back!
Including the group of Su Yu, they all turned around and disappeared like the tide.
“Retreat? At this time of all times?”Xue Guanyin was so angry that a mouthful of blood was stuck in her chest.
Jian Hongniang gritted her teeth and moved her shoulders, preparing to charge forward forcefully.
If nothing unexpected happened, the distance of three thousand feet shouldn’t be too big of a problem.
However, as soon as she moved her shoulders, she was pressed down by Su Yu’s palm. She heard his warning, “Don’t act Rashly!”
Jian Hongniang said, “We might as well give it a try. With the three of us working together, unless the other party’s corpse king personally stops us, the probability of us rushing into the city is very high.”
Su Yu shook his head, “Don’t be impatient. Just wait and see.”
Almost as soon as Su Yu finished speaking, more than ten figures rushed out from the army of the corpse clan and headed straight for the city wall.
Their bodies were emitting corpse qi. They looked like the corpse clan, but their bodies didn’t have any characteristics of the corpse clan.
Jian Hongniang was surprised, “They also got the Sky Corpse Powder?”
Su Yu’s radiance spread, “We’re not the only ones who found a way to sneak into the corpse clan!”
Jian Hongniang said excitedly, “Quick! Let’s go too. With so many people and so many targets, it’ll be easier for us to get in!”
Su Yu still held her shoulder tightly and said without any hesitation, “I said, don’t act Rashly!”
Swish, Swish, Swish —
At this moment, the appearance of more than ten living beings triggered a series of strange phenomena.
The living beings hidden in the corpse clan jumped out of the corpse clan one after another. One after another, the living beings gave up their disguises and escaped from the corpse clan to the city wall.
Roughly counting, there were at least dozens of them.
And in the blink of an eye, they had jumped two thousand Zhang and were rapidly approaching the ten thousand Zhang Range!
Ten Thousand Zhang!
They were only one step away from the city wall!
At the same time, the Corpse Group finally reacted and roared angrily.
Boom —
At the same time, the terrifying corpse Qi was like dark clouds, instantly descending.
The incomparably powerful pressure of the Emperor of heaven and earth crushed over.
The corpse king made a move! !
But even the corpse king couldn’t stop the many living beings that were about to leap into the city.
The living beings that had fled ten thousand feet all shouted, “We are all living beings, please don’t make a move!”
The people in the city hesitated for a moment, but they really didn’t make a move.
This made those who had escaped overjoyed!
On the other hand, Jian Hongniang’s expression was extremely unsightly.
She was angry and resentful as she stared at Su Yu. If Su Yu hadn’t stopped them, they would have already escaped!
It was all because of Su Yu’s excessive caution that they had missed the best opportunity.
It was impossible to escape into the city wall now. If they moved, they would be immediately stopped by the corpse king behind them.
Xue Guanyin also bit her lips regretfully. They could have entered the city with just a single thought.
Watching the two groups of creatures about to escape, the two women’s hearts were indescribably complicated.
However, at this moment, an unexpected scene happened!
The first group of creatures that escaped actually turned around without any warning!
The second group of creatures that were attracted by them and escaped were caught off guard and collided with them.
Ah Ah —
A series of miserable screams sounded like thunder.
At the moment of collision, the first group of creatures suddenly attacked the second group of creatures, and in an instant, five creatures were killed.
The other seven or eight creatures were stunned for a moment, and then came to their senses. They roared in shock and anger, “You… you are traitors who betrayed the creatures. You deliberately lured us to show ourselves!”
