Hold On, Let Me Get Some Slaughter Value First
The group stayed in the cave in the mountain for most of the day.
We waited until it got dark.
Su Ye's brows suddenly twitched, and his expression lightened considerably.
He had been using his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, and now...
"Alright, the Beast Tide is over."
Upon hearing this, the group of people who were cultivating opened their eyes and looked out.
Sure enough, the once dark sky had now become clear.
The Beast Tide that once blotted out the sun was gone.
However, small groups of Sonic Bats still lingered in mid-air.
Although Sonic Bats are social creatures, there will always be some that break away from the group and become unruly.
"They've all scattered?"
Xia Zhiqiu jumped up, her face full of excitement.
Although he told himself to calm down and not to be too impulsive, but...
Personality is something that's really easy to change; there would be no way that would be true.
"Most."
Su Ye smiled slightly.
"There are still a few scattered ones, but not in large groups anymore. Beast Tides are like that—they gather quickly, but they disperse just as fast."
Zhang Xuan opened his eyes, stretched his stiff neck, and eagerly pulled out his Communicator.
"Don't linger once the Beast Tide has subsided."
He projected the Light Screen onto the Stone Wall, and a blue topographical map unfolded.
"I'm rechecking the direction. If we take this route from here, go around that big bend, and then a little further south, we'll reach the Sonic Python's territory."
As he spoke, he drew a winding, meandering path on the Light Screen.
"This road is the most difficult to travel."
Zhang Xuan raised his head.
"But the best way to avoid the Beast Tide is to take a longer route rather than run into those things again."
"Fine, we'll go around it."
Xia Zhiqiu.
"It's better than squatting. If I keep squatting, my legs are going to grow mushrooms."
Agreed.
Shen Mo rarely spoke, but stood up from the corner and dusted himself off.
Zhang Xuan put away the Light Screen and was about to shout "Let's go!"
"No rush."
Su Ye suddenly spoke up.
Everyone was taken aback.
"Don't rush off yet, wait a moment while I have something to attend to."
"Get things done?"
Xia Zhiqiu blinked.
"A'Su, what do you need me to do?"
Su Ye didn't answer directly, but simply raised his hand slightly...
The Blood Shadow Battle Saber had already appeared in his hand.
The Blood Color line on the blade seemed to tremble slightly, like a snake that had just woken up from a nap inside the blade, lazily opening one eye.
In the next instant, Su Ye moved, transforming into a streak of rainbow light, and burst through the narrow opening of the hole, soaring into the sky.
"Why..."
Xia Zhiqiu called out to no one, then turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"What's wrong with A'Su? The Beast Tide just receded, why is he running out there?"
Zhang Xuan looked at the rainbow light and smiled.
"You've known Su Ye for so long, and you still don't know him?"
Of course, we should go and have our fill of killing first.
Several people crowded around the crack in the hole and peered out.
Then they saw Su Ye's figure suddenly rise higher, instantly flying to a height even higher than the Sonic Bat.
His tall, slender figure hovered in mid-air, scanning his surroundings.
The Beast Tide had truly dispersed; the dark mass that filled the sky had vanished, leaving only a few scattered Sonic Bats wandering aimlessly in the mountains, like lone wild dogs.
Su Ye spotted a small group of people not far away.
There were about twenty or thirty of them, slowly flying back along the wind path between the mountains. Perhaps they had fallen behind, as they were swaying back and forth.
"You're the ones."
Su Ye gripped the Blood Shadow Battle Saber tightly, twisted his wrist, and swooped down.
"Buzz--"
The Sonic Bats were extremely alert and almost simultaneously sensed the Killing Intent rushing towards them.
The lead group spun sharply, spreading their textured, fleshy wings, their ears opening and closing...
"Squeak--!"
A sharp sound wave, almost piercing the Divine Soul, crashed down on Su Ye.
This is their specialty.
Sound waves are formless and invisible, making them extremely difficult to defend against. Even Lower God would be severely affected by a single sound wave, causing their Divine Soul to sway and their vision to go black as they fall from the sky.
But who is Su Ye?
On the Challenge Platform of Destruction Paradise, "Qi Ye" fought his way through the ranks.
The sound waves hitting me felt like a tickle.
He didn't even frown; he just raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
That's it?
Before the words were even finished, the Blood Shadow Battle Saber had already slashed out.
The blade flashed as fast as a Blood Color bolt that cleaved the sky.
The Blood Threads on the blade lit up suddenly the instant the blade was drawn, as if it came to life, and following the trajectory of the blade, it flung out the Scarlet.
Before the Sonic Bat could even let out a full scream, half its body and half its wing were cleaved in two by a single cut.
Fresh Blood splattered down, staining a large, shocking patch of red onto the gray-black rocks below.
The Blood Threads on the blade trembled slightly.
In Su Ye's mind, a familiar notification sound rang out:
[Slaughter Value +55]
Very good.
"Come on, let's continue!"
This is exactly what he's been waiting for.
Su Ye charged in again.
What happened next was quite exciting.
The swarm of Sonic Bats initially thought the visitors were just waiting to die, but upon closer inspection, they realized they were a menacing force.
Their sound waves bombarded Su Ye one after another, like hitting a steel plate, unable to even pry open a gap.
Su Ye's Movement Technique was ridiculously fast.
With his left hand pushing out the blade's energy, and his right hand sweeping it horizontally, Bloodlight spurted out wherever the blade passed.
In his hands, the Blood Shadow Battle Saber was less like a weapon and more like a Venomous Snake that drank blood, coiling and tearing at his palm.
With each strike, a Sonic Bat plummeted from the sky.
With each headbutt, that voice echoed in Su Ye's mind:
[Slaughter Value +78]
[Slaughter Value +67]
[Slaughter Value +95]
[Slaughter Value +99]
Later on, the notification sounds became so frequent, like raindrops hitting tiles, a continuous tinkling and clanging.
Su Ye grew increasingly excited as he fought, and his laughter echoed through the Valley.
"What are you running for! I'm right here, and none of you are getting away today!"
The group of Sonic Bats were completely stunned.
They usually roam freely in the Secret Realm, in groups of thousands, and even Middle Gods dare to mess with them.
Today I guess I've run into a whetstone.
Seeing that something was wrong, the leader of the pack let out a long howl and turned to flee.
The rest scattered.
Damn, where did this jinx come from?!
"Escape?"
Su Ye's eyes lit up with laughter.
"It's too late."
Sonic Bats are fast.
It can be faster.
With a sway, Su Ye transformed into a phantom.
With one step, the space beneath his feet swayed slightly, and he was instantly transported more than ten feet away.
Another step, and it's another dozen or so feet.
Space Laws.
They maneuvered and shifted their positions.
No matter how fast the wings of the Sonic Bat are, they cannot outpace the crossing of the Space Law.
Those who tried to escape were gone the moment they flew out in front, followed by a flash of light from behind.
Su Ye chased after them, cutting them down as he went.
The Blood Shadow Battle Saber almost never stopped, and the Blood Threads on its blade grew increasingly red, as if it had just been pulled from a vat of blood.
After a chase of a short while, the last few were finally unable to escape and were each taken down with a single strike.
The sky is now quiet.
Su Ye hovered in mid-air, his robes billowing, yet not a single hem of his garment was stained.
The Blood Threads on the Blood Shadow Battle Saber was still faintly glowing, and the remaining Scarlet dripped down the blade, one drop, two drops, into the pile of wrecked corpses below.
He looked down at the number in his mind.
More than 300 Sonic Bats.
Little by little, it added up to 2,237 Slaughter Value for him.
Tsk, as expected, Slaughter suits me better.
