Four days later.
Su Yu traveled north, passing through the territory of the Maple City Bai Family. Maple City was somewhat larger than Jiang City, but the Maple City Bai Family was not settled within Maple City. Instead, they resided at a place called Tan Mountain, roughly seventy miles outside the city.
He did not enter the city, much less go to Tan Mountain to seek trouble for himself.
After passing Maple City from afar and glancing at it, Su Yu continued north toward Moon Worship Immortal City.
However, half a day later, a convoy appeared on the road ahead.
Su Yu sensed several cultivators' auras within the convoy, but he paid them no mind and rode his spirit horse past them.
Yet the next moment, a thunderous shout, louder and harsher than a man's, rang in his ears.
"Stop!"
Seeing that Su Yu had no intention of stopping, that person shouted again, "Stop him!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, a five-man cultivator squad led by a Seventh Layer of Qi Refining cultivator flashed forward and blocked Su Yu's path.
The middle-aged Seventh Layer of Qi Refining man stopped before Su Yu. He was fairly polite, giving a slight bow as he said, "This young friend, my Second Miss wishes to see you."
Su Yu frowned. Then he saw the specially made, enormous carriage within the convoy shake as a woman eight feet tall, like a mountain of flesh and as broad as three or four Su Yus, dressed in something resembling a skirt, leaped down from it.
The moment this woman saw Su Yu's handsome, dashing "pretty boy" face, she was overjoyed. "What is your name? And who are you?"
"Forget it, there's no need to know. Uncle Huai, I've taken a liking to this man. Bring him back to Maple City first. I want him to stay in Maple City and bear me children!"
Su Yu's heart stirred. Looking at that mountain of flesh, he asked, "You are the Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family?"
The woman was imposing simply standing there. More importantly, this Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family was actually a Ninth Layer of Qi Refining cultivator.
The woman nodded at his words. "That's right. Since you know who I am, obediently come back to Maple City with me!"
Su Yu found it strange. "Aren't you afraid that I'm an Inner Disciple of Cloud Sword Sect? Or perhaps a disciple of some other great clan?"
The woman grinned. As she stared at Su Yu's handsome face, her eyes narrowed into slits of flesh. She could barely contain herself, her soul already hooked away by his good looks.
The woman said, "So what if you are? Can you escape? You're only at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining. If you come back to Maple City willingly, you'll suffer less. Besides, it's not as though I'm going to do anything to you. I merely want you to bear me children."
"Not even Cloud Sword Sect could interfere in such a trivial matter."
"Besides, it's not like I haven't captured disciples of Cloud Sword Sect before. It's just a pity—"
As she spoke, the woman gazed at Su Yu with the infatuated look of a lecherous fool. "He can't compare to you. He is nowhere near your equal!"
The hairs all over Su Yu's body stood on end, and goosebumps covered his skin.
He was slightly stunned as he thought of the trauma Lin Danlang might once have suffered beneath this woman—cough, at this woman's hands?
And so Lin Danlang had experienced something like this?
The mere thought made Su Yu shudder with revulsion.
Fuck—what a blindingly awful sight!!!
"Die!"
Su Yu shouted furiously and abruptly launched himself into attack. The Maple City Bai Family Seventh Layer of Qi Refining cultivator standing less than five zhang before him changed expression.
Just as he was about to make a move, vines emerged throughout heaven and earth, trapping him in place in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
His mana erupted, yet he was unable to shatter even a single vine.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened. Both of them were at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining—how could this be possible!?
The next moment—
Bang!
The vines exploded. The power of Su Yu's Body Refining Technique erupted, and his physique swelled several degrees larger. His muscles coiled like horned dragons, while blood-red patterns resembling the scales of a demonic crocodile covered his body. A savage aura, like that of the Demon Race, burst forth.
With a single punch, Su Yu shattered the vine prison trapping that Seventh Layer of Qi Refining cultivator.
Vine fragments scattered through the air, along with the body of that Seventh Layer of Qi Refining cultivator, which Su Yu's giant-crocodile-like punch had blown apart.
At the same time—
Wooden vines wrapped around the remaining four Qi Refining cultivators.
Su Yu did not even need to act personally.
The wooden vines in the air transformed into wooden spikes and spears, piercing those four fourth- and fifth-layer Qi Refining cultivators into hedgehogs.
"Aaaah!"
"Pfft!"
Amid waves of shrill screams echoing across the wilderness, in the blink of an eye—
All five Maple City Bai Family cultivators who had intercepted Su Yu were dead.
That mountain of flesh—no, the Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family—changed expression. Fierce light burst from her eyes, and her fury soared to the heavens. Her slit-like eyes struggled open a crack as she glared at Su Yu and roared, "You've got some nerve! Killing my people right in front of me!?"
"I had planned to let you enjoy yourself, but now, you're only fit to be a dog!"
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family suddenly charged forward like a frenzied, enraged beast. Each footfall shook the ground, creating the earthquake-like sensation of ten thousand beasts galloping.
Buzz!
An earthen-yellow radiance flashed over her body. The eruption of Earth attribute mana made her seem even more like a mountain.
As she rushed at him, the pressure she exuded truly made Su Yu somewhat tense.
End this quickly!
I can't drag this out!
Su Yu swept out his hand, and a streak of black light landed before him, transforming into a strange puppet beast two zhang tall. It resembled a giant eagle, yet possessed a dragon's tail.
"Roar!" The Dragon Eagle Puppet Beast let out a roar the instant it appeared, then pounced fiercely and invincibly toward the Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family.
Boom!
One claw of the Dragon Eagle clashed with a fist seal from the Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family.
The spell-formed fist seal was instantly shredded by the claw.
The Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family's expression shifted slightly. The next instant, the Dragon Eagle's claw struck her body.
Bang!
Earthen-yellow light flared brilliantly. The Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family, massive as a mountain, was sent flying backward by the Dragon Eagle's claw.
"A top-tier first-grade puppet beast!? No, that power is already close to the Foundation Establishment stage! How is that possible? How can you possess such a powerful puppet beast!?" the Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family shrieked in disbelief.
Though she mainly cultivated her body and defenses, the Dragon Eagle Puppet Beast's claw had still shaken her internal organs, drawn blood from the corner of her lips, and left her dizzy and dazed.
This showed just how terrifying the Dragon Eagle Puppet Beast's strength was.
Boom!
Su Yu said nothing. A talisman appeared in his hand.
As he poured mana into the talisman, he flung out the Thunder Fire Talisman with a wave of his hand.
While still in midair, it suddenly transformed into a streak of blazing thunderlight.
Crack!
The sky abruptly darkened as a crimson bolt of flaming lightning, thicker than the Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family's body, crashed down from the heavens.
The Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family was still flying backward through the air. Her eyes widened as she watched helplessly while the lightning struck her.
Boom!!!
The skirt on her body erupted once again with an earthen-yellow defensive barrier, but it shattered instantly.
The next moment, her body exploded beneath the lightning.
Chunks of charred flesh scattered in all directions and fell across the ground.
"Aah!"
The ordinary people in the convoy screamed and tried to flee, but in the next instant, vines emerged and bound them. Then wooden spikes pierced their bodies one after another.
The ordinary Maple City Bai Family members in the convoy all died with unwillingness and terror on their faces.
Su Yu reached out and collected the Cosmos Bags and magical artifacts of the Second Miss of Maple City Bai Family and the other five cultivators.
The ugly skirt on the woman was a Mid-grade Defensive Magical Artifact, but it had already been utterly destroyed by the second-grade lower-rank Thunder Fire Talisman.
Su Yu waved his hand and put away the Dragon Eagle Puppet Beast. He hurriedly summoned a flying sword magical artifact, abandoned his spirit horse, and flew away from the area at low altitude on his sword.
