Su Xing had excellent eyesight.
He quickly spotted two figures amid the darkness.
One was dressed in black, the other in white. The white-clad figure held a long blade that reflected a faint glimmer of moonlight onto his clothes. Su Xing could clearly see several people with their entrails gouged out kneeling on his clothes, kowtowing toward "Spirit."
Su Xing had seen clothes like that before.
Spirit Cult followers again.
Only people from the Spirit Cult wore such bizarre-looking clothes.
The other person wore ordinary black sportswear and held a crimson spear formed entirely from energy.
But his face took Su Xing by surprise, because he was actually his younger brother, Su Yu.
Su Yu was...
Had the organization assigned him a mission?
Or had the Spirit Cult targeted him?
While Su Xing's thoughts ran wild, the battle between the two continued. One move, two moves, three moves—they repeatedly clashed and separated. They appeared evenly matched, but Su Xing could clearly tell that his younger brother had already fallen into a disadvantage.
With every exchange, several small wounds appeared on Su Yu's body, while the Spirit Cult follower remained completely unharmed.
"I advise you to surrender quickly. That way, you might receive a lighter punishment. Otherwise, once our organization's people arrive, you'll undoubtedly die."
Su Yu spoke in a mature tone that felt somewhat unfamiliar.
He seemed like an entirely different person from the Su Yu who usually followed behind Su Xing, calling him Brother and Big Bro every day.
However,
After saying that, he gave a soft cough. He was clearly injured.
"Hahaha, a first-tier Sequence user sure talks big. That red spear should be your Sequence, right?"
"Don't forget, my Sequence still hasn't appeared!"
The Spirit Cult follower gave Su Yu a disdainful look. The corners of his mouth split apart as he said viciously:
"Right here and now, I'll use the divine power bestowed upon me by Him."
"To hold the grandest Dirty Ritual for you!"
"To hold the grandest Dirty Ritual for you!"
After saying that,
The Spirit Cult follower directly threw away his weapon. His body suddenly seemed to swell, growing over three meters tall. Muscles burst through his skin and bulged outward, while tumor-like lumps rose one after another across his blood-red flesh. The sight was utterly shocking.
At that moment,
The Spirit Cult follower looked like a true monster.
Su Yu's face turned even paler. He took a step back with his right leg and said in surprise:
"Sequence No. 214 at the peak of the first tier: Body Reassembly?"
"Hehe, you know quite a lot, little brat. But so what if you recognized it? You're still going to die here!"
After activating Body Reassembly, the Spirit Cult follower's face was no longer recognizable. Only a vague, buzzing voice came from where his head had originally been.
Although Su Yu was surprised that his opponent's realm was a level above his,
He quickly calmed down again. Just because the other man was stronger didn't mean he couldn't be beaten.
After all,
The red spear in his hand
Was the Delusion-Breaking Spear, Sequence No. 135—nearly a hundred ranks higher than the other man's.
The Spirit Cult follower also knew that his advantage was not overwhelming. If this little brat managed to stall him until reinforcements arrived, he would truly be finished.
So he stopped wasting words. He activated Body Reassembly again, gathering all the muscles in his body into his right fist. It made him look like a tiny man lifting Mount Tai, utterly ridiculous, but the power behind that fist was terrifying!
The heavy punch came smashing straight toward Su Yu.
Beneath that fist, Su Yu looked as small as an ant. Yet he merely narrowed his eyes, without a trace of fear, and thrust his spear directly at it!
In almost an instant,
The spear and fist collided.
Bang!
But the Spirit Cult follower's strength
Exceeded Su Yu's expectations. His hand gripping the spear went numb, and he staggered back several steps before stopping. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
The Delusion-Breaking Spear in his hand began to twist under the immense impact. Only when Su Yu clenched it tightly again did it regain its stability.
Was the gap between the first tier and the peak of the first tier
Really this great?
It shouldn't be. Su Yu frowned deeply, feeling that his opponent's strength was absurdly excessive.
The Spirit Cult follower had no intention of showing mercy. Seeing that one blow had forced Su Yu back, he ignored the hole pierced through his fist and leaped directly at Su Yu, intending to kill him in one strike!
If this punch landed,
Su Yu was certain he would become a lump of mangled flesh.
Su Yu showed no panic whatsoever. His face remained as pale as ever, his eyes slightly narrowed as he watched the enemy plummeting rapidly toward him from above. He sighed inwardly.
Do I still have to use that move?
Using it would definitely cause some damage to his body. The organization had warned him repeatedly to avoid using it whenever possible, but this situation had arisen too suddenly. He had no other choice.
Su Yu extended his right hand toward the descending Spirit Cult follower. His pupils abruptly turned brilliant gold, and he began speaking in a language that was difficult to understand.
"Sequence: Judgment."
"Target: the person before me."
"Price: part of my lifespan."
But just as he was about to activate his Judgment Sequence, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out. Su Yu immediately stopped activating his Sequence and leaped backward out of the area.
Boom!
The Spirit Cult follower missed his target, kicking up a huge cloud of dust. At the same time, a white sword light slicing through the air shredded the dust into fragments.
The sword light was like snow.
A snow-white streak of sword light slashed down in an instant!
What the hell was that?!
The Spirit Cult follower was startled. He reacted quickly, mobilizing the muscles on his body and piling them over his chest to form a massive shield.
A sharp pain shot through his chest.
A deep wound appeared across his chest, but it ultimately failed to break through his flesh shield.
A trace of madness appeared in his eyes as he roared:
"Where did this rat come from?!"
"I hate sneaky rats the most! I'll slaughter you first!"
The Spirit Cult follower's legs suddenly began to swell. He shifted part of his muscles into his thighs, greatly increasing his jumping power.
"Run!"
Su Yu shouted. His judgment of the battlefield was extremely sharp. He did not know who had unleashed that streak of white light.
But judging by its power, they were at most a first-tier Sequence user. If that person was caught in close combat by this monster, they would not fare any better than he had!
The Spirit Cult follower suddenly leaped. His terrifying jumping force made Su Yu feel as if the ground itself had trembled. He instinctively wanted to give chase, but his previous injuries, coupled with forcibly canceling the Judgment Sequence just now, had greatly depleted his Sequence energy. He was already unable to keep up.
He could only watch as the muscle-covered figure vanished into the night.
He gritted his teeth,
Then ran in the direction where the Spirit Cult follower had disappeared.
The Spirit Cult follower was indeed incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived above Su Xing. Su Xing could even see the deformed, blood-red muscles twitching across his body.
"At the peak of the first tier?"
Su Xing murmured as the sword in his hand suddenly slashed out.
White light covered the greatsword, drawing a long, slender white line through the night!
The white line spread. One became two, two became four, four became eight, and finally, sixteen white lines slashed out.
This sword was exceptionally bright.
Even the moon in the sky seemed to dim in comparison.
The white lines passed through his body.
