NOVEL NEXT Chapter 996: Dead for Wealth
The battlefield fell silent once again, and everyone's gaze settled on the masked old man, who was tightly gripped by a large, bright silver spatial hand, his body riddled with wounds.
The masked old man "Lao Hei" shouted, "Slaughter Blood King, save me."
This scene was eerily similar to before.
Not long ago, three Half-step Condensing Star Realm experts faced the same fate.
Now, their mangled bodies lay on the ground below.
Thinking of this, Lao Hei trembled with fear and hastily pleaded for help, blurting out the name of the blood-masked man in panic.
"This person's strength is extraordinary."
The man in the yellow robe stared at Chen Yu; his previous thoughts of despair faded, perhaps there was still a chance of survival.
If he could return alive, he would definitely mobilize the Black Dragon Auction House's strongmen to dismember the Slaughter Blood King.
Inwardly, the blood-masked man cursed Lao Hei for being an idiot while feeling extremely frustrated.
This plan had originally been foolproof, but now the development of events was far from their initial expectations.
"This bastard, ruining my plans!"
The blood-masked man stared at Chen Yu, his thoughts filled with intense, murderous intent.
However.
Now was not the time to fight Chen Yu to the death.
"Sir, please halt, spare his life, and I'll offer you a share of the spoils."
The blood-masked man tried to persuade once more, his tone much softer, even willing to share the benefits.
A share of the spoils?
Chen Yu looked disdainful; the top-grade yuan stones in his possession now amounted to seven or eight hundred thousand.
"I've said before, your matters have nothing to do with me."
"This person wanted to kill me, so his life belongs to me now."
Chen Yu's expression turned cold again.
With a squelch!
Another blood-red blossom bloomed, and Lao Hei's body disintegrated into fragments, scattering to the ground.
After the killing, Chen Yu turned and left.
He didn't believe the blood-masked man dared to deal with him any longer; they were already short of manpower.
Just as Chen Yu expected.
This time, apart from the blood-masked man, there were two other early-stage Condensed Star Realm experts, staring intently at Chen Yu as he left, but saying nothing more.
"First, deal with these two from the Black Dragon Auction House. Later, I will show this kid the consequences of opposing the Slaughter Blood King."
The blood-masked man "Slaughter Blood King" transmitted to his companions.
Kill!
The three of them attacked simultaneously, channeling their resentment and anger towards the man in the yellow robe and the woman in black clothes.
The two from the Black Dragon Auction House were already heavily injured, retreating repeatedly, now fearing for their lives.
"Sir, save the two of us, and the Black Dragon Auction House will surely reward you greatly."
The man in the yellow robe shouted for help.
In usual circumstances, if Chen Yu encountered such a situation, he might lend a hand to earn some benefits.
But the previous antics of the man in the yellow robe had left Chen Yu feeling disgusted.
Now, Chen Yu turned a deaf ear and quickly distanced himself.
"How can you be so indifferent? You have the power to help, yet stand idly by."
The woman in black clothes wore a distressed expression, almost eliciting sympathy.
Chen Yu still remained unmoved, not looking back.
This renewed the duo's sense of despair and madness.
Both simultaneously burned their essence blood and yuan energy, unleashing power far beyond normal.
They didn't confront the Slaughter Blood King directly but used the burst of power to enhance their speed.
Swish! Swish!
The speeds of the man in the yellow robe and the woman in black clothes surged to the limit, breaking through the Slaughter Blood King's encirclement, rushing towards Chen Yu.
"Scram!"
Chen Yu, noticing this scene, shouted coldly.
He had only been passing by, yet because of these two, he was dragged into this kill-and-rob conflict.
Now, they sought to entangle him again.
"Sir, it is but a small task for you to assist us, yet the reward would be substantial."
The man in the yellow robe pleaded once more.
The woman in black clothes followed closely, adopting a pitiful demeanor, asking Chen Yu to intervene.
But in truth, they were not sincere, merely appealing on moral grounds for Chen Yu to act.
Chen Yu was already thoroughly annoyed.
He realized these two were merely trying to cling to him.
Should the Slaughter Blood King act, it would inadvertently involve Chen Yu, tying both parties together.
"You two have schemed against me multiple times; do you think I won't take action against you?"
Chen Yu suddenly turned, his gaze indifferent, sharp, like two icy spikes piercing into the man in the yellow robe and the woman in black's bodies.
"If you are unwilling to help, so be it, but do you plan to antagonize the Black Dragon Auction House?"
The man in the yellow robe showed disappointment.
Even the Slaughter Blood King and others concealed their identities to attack them.
He didn't believe Chen Yu would dare to act openly.
Chen Yu said nothing, letting his actions speak for him.
With a thud!
He struck with a palm, piercing through the man in the yellow robe's chest.
"You..."
The man in the yellow robe stared wide-eyed at Chen Yu, unable to believe it.
The other dared to brazenly kill someone from the Black Dragon Auction House over a mere disagreement.
"Stop."
The man in the yellow robe regretted; it was only because he banked on the Black Dragon Auction House's reputation that he was so audacious.
Now, he regretted it beyond measure.
But in this world, there are no remedies for regret.
With a thud!
Chen Yu reached upwards, grabbed the man in the yellow robe's heart, and crushed it.
The body of the man in the yellow robe fell, his storage space falling into Chen Yu's hand.
"Brother Huang."
The woman in black clothes beside him, reacting only now, stared blankly at the fallen body of the man in the yellow robe, dumbfounded.
"It's your turn."
Chen Yu's gaze fixed on the woman in the black shirt. She was suddenly enveloped in an icy chill, as if she had fallen into an ice abyss, and fear spread throughout her body.
Since he had taken action, he might as well kill them all.
Bang!
With just a simple punch, the woman in black was already heavily injured and could not evade. Her heart was shattered, and her beautiful body fell to the ground.
Chen Yu manipulated the Profound Meaning of Space to take away the storage space of the woman in black.
The Slaughter Blood King and the others who were pursuing from behind froze in place.
They had meticulously planned and worked for most of the fight, only for the spoils to be easily taken by Chen Yu.
Seeing that Chen Yu was about to leave.
"Stop!"
The Slaughter Blood King shouted angrily.
He already held a grudge against Chen Yu. Previously, he didn't deal with Chen Yu because he planned to first kill the two from the Black Dragon Auction House.
Now that the two from the Black Dragon Auction House were gone, his inner fury was immediately revealed.
Moreover, Chen Yu was holding the spoils that rightfully belonged to them.
"Although you ambushed them, you also contributed. The spoils will be divided eighty to twenty."
The Slaughter Blood King said coldly.
Get some benefits first and then find an opportunity to deal with Chen Yu to prevent him from using any trump card to escape, leaving them with nothing.
"Eighty for me and twenty for you?"
Chen Yu asked.
The three were stunned, suspecting that Chen Yu had lost his mind?
"Boss, what's the point of talking to him? This kid has killed so many of us, let's kill him."
"We can't let this kid go."
The other two at the Early Stage of Star Condensing harbored deep hatred for Chen Yu and communicated this telepathically.
"Take action!"
The Slaughter Blood King felt Chen Yu was mocking him, his intent to kill was undeniable, and he immediately shouted.
In the sky, blood light surged, transforming into a giant blood-red palm, emanating a bloody, corrosive aura, instantly draining the vitality around, causing plants to wither, and the world to darken.
"Blood Explosion Palm!"
The Slaughter Blood King knew Chen Yu's strength was formidable, so he used his ultimate move without reservation.
The other two at the Early Stage of Star Condensing also used their killing moves.
"Men die for wealth."
Chen Yu smiled faintly, star acupoints across his body opened, and starlight surged, transforming into a wide Star Robe.
Swoosh!
His speed was like a shooting star, approaching the two at the Early Stage of Star Condensing.
"Don't even think about it."
The Slaughter Blood King knew Chen Yu intended to kill his two companions first and controlled the "Blood Explosion Palm" to capture him.
Boom, boom, boom!
The attacks of the three Condensed Star Kings fell simultaneously, the ensuing storm sweeping in all directions, engulfing the two at the Early Stage of Star Condensing.
This scene exceeded the Slaughter Blood King's expectations. How could the power of the Blood Explosion Palm be beyond the ordinary, so formidable?
But in reality.
Part of it was the counterattack from the Star Pattern Robe.
When the storm subsided.
The Slaughter Blood King's slightly delighted expression froze.
Chen Yu stood in place, his Star Coat fluttering, exuding an ethereal and mysterious aura.
The two companions of the Slaughter Blood King were flesh and blood, dead, and their corpses fell.
"How can this be?"
He roared in madness, unable to believe it.
"Your companions are dead, and you shall accompany them in death."
Chen Yu said calmly.
The Slaughter Blood King took one last heavy glance at Chen Yu and turned to flee.
Chen Yu's strength was already impressive. Earlier, he had somehow withstood his attack unscathed and killed the two at the Early Stage of Star Condensing in an instant.
The enemy's methods were terrifying and his strength extraordinary. His companions were all dead, leaving him alone.
The Slaughter Blood King knew his chances of winning were slim and did not pause.
Moreover, with the people from the Black Dragon Auction House dead here, there would likely be people arriving soon. This was not a place to linger.
Swoosh!
He turned and fled, a layer of dark blood light rising from his body, disappearing without a trace.
Chen Yu watched the Slaughter Blood King leave, not pursuing him.
The Slaughter Blood King was at the Mid-stage of Star Condensation Realm. If Chen Yu wanted to kill him, it would take considerable effort and time.
He was pressed for time, needing to quickly find the Qingyun Emperor, and then hurry to the Eight Great Emperor Sects.
Not long after moving forward.
Chen Yu arrived at the center of the Chaotic Sea Plain, seeing the majestic and boundless giant city ahead with black city walls.
"Didn't expect there'd be a city for cultivators here."
Chen Yu paid with a Primordial Stone to enter the city of cultivators.
Compared to other cities for cultivators, this one appeared somewhat old and dilapidated, without the protection of barrier arrays.
There were quite a few cultivators inside but it was not lively, rather a bit quiet, and most people seemed not to be trifled with.
Chen Yu wandered around casually, then inquired about the information he needed.
"This city for cultivators is called 'Chaotic Sea City,' and the one who holds the City Lord Mansion is the Human Race's military force stationed here. And the Qingyun Emperor is stationed here!"
Chen Yu's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but head towards the City Lord Mansion.
The area near the City Lord Mansion was extremely quiet, with hardly any ordinary cultivators coming and going.
Not far away, in front of the ten-zhang high black giant gate, ten black-armored guards were chatting idly.
"Stop, this is the City Lord Mansion, you can't just approach, get lost."
A guard with a pointed chin shouted coldly.
Chen Yu frowned slightly and said: "I'm looking for someone."
"Looking for someone?"
The guards exchanged glances, seeming not to have heard of such an instruction from above.
"Who are you looking for?"
The pointed-chin guard glanced sideways at Chen Yu.
"Qingyun Emperor!"
