Chapter 1551: Completely Brought This Upon Himself! (3rd Update)
"When have I ever joked?" Elder Yon said calmly, "Moreover, even if this price is paid, do you know what Zhao Funí said? She said that our Xuanshi Divine Pavilion still made a big profit. I say all this just to tell you, this boy might be beyond your imagination. I let him come to eliminate red, let him do it alone. This is just the simplest task. If he can't even do that, then he'll just die on Ghost Red Mountain, and it'll merely mean Zhao Funí misjudged."
Ling Tuanzhi nodded heavily.
He understood.
"What was the score for eliminating red back then?" Elder Yon asked again.
"487." Ling Tuanzhi hesitated for a moment and then spoke. He remembered this number too well. Because this score was created by someone else at the time, and back then, he was eliminating red alongside him. Ling Tuanzhi achieved a score of 139, which was a very good score. Unfortunately, encountering 487, it stole all the attention and glory.
Moreover, this score of 487, over the millions of years and countless generations of talents and monsters in the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, no one has ever broken this number. Let alone breaking it, no one has even come close.
In the history of Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, the highest score for eliminating red is 487, and the second place is only 175.
One can imagine how extraordinary this number 487 is.
In Ling Tuanzhi's view, it is impossible for anyone to ever break this number.
"Elder Yon, are you suggesting that he might break this number?" Ling Tuanzhi took a deep breath and asked.
"Simply breaking it is not enough, it doesn't fit Zhao Funí's evaluation, and it doesn't justify the enormous cost paid by our Xuanshi Divine Pavilion." Elder Yon's voice raised by threefold degrees.
At that very second.
Elder Yon and Ling Tuanzhi fell silent simultaneously.
Their eyes suddenly brightened.
Not just Elder Yon and Ling Tuanzhi.
The entire base of Ghost Red Mountain, everyone suddenly fell silent.
A moment of silence.
Because, Su Chen moved!!!
In a flash.
Su Chen had already landed on the midway platform of Ghost Red Mountain.
He was about to begin eliminating red.
In the crowd, Jia Mingmei's face showed no emotion, but her eyes were fiercely, sinisterly, and venomously staring at Su Chen...
"Little bastard, your death is near, the feeling of being overwhelmed by 'red' will be so delightful!" Jia Mingmei murmured to herself, her voice filled with satisfaction.
At this moment.
Su Chen stood on the stone platform halfway up the mountain.
Exposed to the blows of the mountain wind.
He slightly lifted his head, gazing at the distant scenery.
Seeing this scene, nearly all the disciples at the foot of the mountain were shocked!!!
Li Buxiu's face turned slightly pale.
"Is this crazy boy out of his mind?" Li Buxiu clenched his fists, almost coughing up blood.
"I think I forgot to tell him something about eliminating red." Elder Yon slightly furrowed his brows.
Ling Tuanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth beside him.
Why did everyone watching think Su Chen was crazy? Because Su Chen dared... dared to stand still enjoying the view after reaching the mountain platform? How big of a heart does he have~~~~?
Don't they know that 'red' has already sensed his presence? Don't they know that he'll be engulfed by countless 'red' soon?
When others eliminate red, whoever it is, after reaching the mountain platform, the first thing they do is to move at maximum speed, wandering on the platform, and never remain stationary.
When you move with ultimate speed, you're in motion, allowing you to outrun many 'red,' making it much easier.
And when you stand still, you're a stationary target for the 'red,' and the outcome is predictable.
"Han Yue, it seems he's inevitably doomed, he knows nothing, lacks brains." Chen Zong said calmly, his voice carrying a hint of disdain and boredom. He had previously planned to make sure to eliminate Su Chen.
Now it seems, there's no need for him to take action.
Su Chen is undoubtedly going to die on Ghost Red Mountain.
Xue Hanyue didn't utter a word, her beautiful eyes holding a complex expression—disappointment, relief, nostalgia, expectation, and a bitter smile...
The mountain platform.
Su Chen still stood there.
"Xi, are you saying that 'red' is not a species from our current universe?" Su Chen asked with some surprise, communicating with Xi.
"Yes." Xi confirmed, "In my memory, I once encountered 'red' in other universes, but the 'red' I encountered were countless times more formidable than the ones on Ghost Red Mountain."
"Can my Divine Mansion absorb and refine 'red'?" Su Chen asked. He had already sensed the densely packed 'red' crawling out from the body of Ghost Red Mountain. Although silent, he could feel that aura, and perhaps, in a few more breaths, those 'red' would appear before him.
"It can. But. Your current Divine Mansion isn't invincible, it could at most refine ten thousand of the red." Xi thought for a moment, then replied.
"Not bad." Su Chen responded with a hum. He knew that 10 was the usual score for an average disciple of the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, and 10,000 was indeed a lot.
"However, I can also devour the 'Red'." Xi added.
"Really?" Su Chen was overjoyed. What he longed for the most was for Xi to devour something, because every time Xi devoured something, she would feedback some special and pure energy to him, which was greatly beneficial. Unfortunately, Xi's taste was extremely picky, and ordinary things did not interest her in the least.
Then, Su Chen asked, "How much can you devour?"
"Brother, apart from what your Divine Mansion devours, whatever is left, however much comes, let me devour it all." Xi seemed somewhat eager and excited.
"Hahaha... great!" Su Chen was excited.
"Brother, hehe... soon, many Reds will surge towards you. Don't start devouring immediately; wait until enough Reds are drawn in, and then start. I'm afraid if we both start devouring at once, we might scare the Reds in the other mountain bodies from coming out." Xi said with a laugh.
"Alright." Su Chen nodded heavily. To let the 'Red' engulf him? That would be fine; after all, even if he suffocated being engulfed by the 'Red', for someone at his level of martial cultivation, he could endure without breath for at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, no problem at all.
At the same time.
At the foot of the mountain.
Many observing disciples were anxious!
They really couldn't understand what Su Chen was thinking?
How come he wasn't moving yet?
Suddenly.
Someone shouted in horror, "It's coming, look, the 'Red', the 'Red' is coming..."
With his shout.
Suddenly.
Many disciples saw, on the left side of the mountain platform where Su Chen stood, more than ten meters away, there appeared a 'Red'.
The 'Red' wasn't large, only the size of a fist, wriggling and sticky, devoid of a nose, eyes, or any facial features. If it weren't moving, people would think it was a blood-colored mist.
Following the appearance of one 'Red', then...
Rings of terrifying and fearful exclamations arose:
"Oh my god! Look, there... there... there are so many."
"Left side, right side, below, above, they're everywhere..."
"It's terrible, Su Chen is surrounded!"
"A thousand, no, ten thousand... all 'Red', densely packed, more numerous than ants!"
...
Many of the onlooking disciples lost their composure.
Their faces were deathly pale!!! Completely devoid of blood!
Their eyes were almost convulsively bulging, as if they could burst open at any moment.
Goosebumps covered the bodies of many disciples from head to toe, chilled to the bone...
In their eyes, it was clear that Su Chen was surrounded by thousands upon thousands of 'Red'!
There wasn't even a patch of clear ground on the mountain platform at the mid-slope.
It was all red, all blood-colored.
Like a blood nest collapse, a blood sea roaring.
Countless 'Red' surged and wriggled towards Su Chen...
"It's over, it's over, damn it, it's over." Li Buxiu was trembling all over, his face as pale as can be.
"I want to save him now, but I can't do anything." Ling Tuanzhi furrowed his brow tightly, his face ashen. Previously, everything Elder Yon had said was bullshit!!!
He almost wanted to curse.
He came here intending to save Su Chen in his moment of danger.
But because Elder Yon had said so much, he had built up faith and anticipation for Su Chen. Even when Su Chen stood there motionless before, he forcibly suppressed the impulse to save him, wanting to wait and see if Su Chen had any hidden tricks or surprises?
But this wait, well then!!! What he got wasn't just a surprise? It was a fright!
No matter what secrets Su Chen had, no matter how much strength and talent he possessed, he was done for! Surrounded by innumerable 'Red'! Even if he were a god, he couldn't escape death!
Moreover, even the Heavenly King can't save you now, the time and opportunity to save you have been completely missed. Even if he were the Pavilion Master of the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, at this moment, faced with the countless 'Red' surrounding Su Chen, he was helpless!
Elder Yon also furrowed his brow, his gaze heavy, somewhat regretful and puzzled.
He didn't know if Su Chen had underestimated the enemy or had been too arrogant? But he knew Su Chen was in a dire situation, and it was entirely self-inflicted.
"Zhao Funí, has your judgment really gone wrong?" Elder Yon thought to himself, shaking his head slightly.
