The voice was old and indifferent, as if it had fallen from the heavens or come from the depths of the earth; it was omnipresent yet its source could not be found.
Words become law.
As the words "crossed the line" were uttered, an invisible and irresistible will, like a tangible shackle, instantly enveloped Hei Sha.
His body, which was taut like a drawn bow, suddenly stiffened.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze into ancient ice, and the murderous intent that was about to erupt, enough to tear mountains and rivers apart, was forcibly suppressed.
A look of wild joy instantly flashed in Luo Yuan's eyes.
"Savior?"
"Is it some senior master hidden in this forbidden area?"
However, what happened next caused the color to drain from her face even faster, and her heart sank into an icy abyss.
Faced with this warning, which would make any martial artist below the King Realm tremble, Hei Sha's shark-like expression remained unchanged.
There was no panic, no anger, not even a hint of surprise.
He simply straightened up slowly, his cold eyes glancing at the gray, misty void, as if he were staring at some unseen being.
Then, he did something that Luo Yuan couldn't understand.
With a casual wave of his hand, a massive, still-warm demon corpse appeared out of thin air at his feet.
It was the " Earth Baleful Intent Mimicry Beast " that Su Yu had seen not long ago, at the Heaven Realm Second Level, but its size and the chaotic aura it contained were far more solid than the one Su Yu had killed.
What are you going to do with a corpse?
Luo Yuan's thoughts were not yet fully formed.
Hei Sha then spoke calmly into the void, in the same emotionless tone. "One Heaven Realm Second Level biomorphic beast in exchange for two hours."
His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly through the deathly silent ruins.
There was no haggling; it was as if a transaction that was already well-known and anticipated was taking place.
"He's... making a deal with that voice?!"
Luo Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
In the void, the aged voice remained silent for a moment.
Immediately, a gray mist emerged from the void, like an invisible hand, and gently swirled around the demon's corpse.
The body vanished instantly.
"Can."
The aged voice uttered a single word, and the terrifying will that had enveloped the Hei Sha receded like a tide, vanishing without a trace.
The entire world returned to deathly silence.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
But Luo Yuan knew that wasn't the case.
She looked at Hei Sha in despair, at the man who had once again turned his cold gaze toward her, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Two hours.
The mysterious enforcer sold her "life force" openly, using the corpse of a demon.
Just then, a rapid telepathic message rang in Su Yu's mind.
"He's Hei Sha of the Blackwater Alliance! A fierce general under the Alliance Leader, Heaven Realm Fifth Level Peak! He specializes in the Law of Water, his methods are unpredictable, and countless people of his level have died at his hands! We must hurry..."
Luo Yuan stopped mid-sentence.
Because she saw that Su Yu's face still held that infuriatingly calm expression.
Even... a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"He had gills on his face, a bluish-gray complexion, and carried what looked like a door panel on his back... oh, he wasn't carrying one."
Su Yu looked at the figure in the distance and silently made a sarcastic remark.
"Isn't this just a True Person version of Kisame Hoshigaki? Interesting, I wonder if he can use Water Release: Great Exploding Water Wave."
Hei Sha, of course, also noticed the strange smile on Su Yu's face.
That wasn't fear, nor was it feigned composure; rather, it was a look... akin to "a hunter spotting interesting prey."
A mere Heaven Realm Second Level cultivator looking at him like that?
For the first time, a ripple appeared in Hei Sha's otherwise emotionless eyes.
He did not act immediately.
The deal with the "law enforcer" gave him two hours, plenty of time.
What intrigued him even more was what it was about this newly advanced Heaven Realm Second Level that prompted the Alliance Leader to send a special telepathic warning to "be extremely careful."
The aura emanating from him began to undergo subtle changes.
The air seemed to become damp and sticky.
A thin layer of moisture Soundless rises from the cracked, dark purple rock beneath our feet.
A suppression originating from the level of laws, like an invisible net, slowly unfolded, aiming to completely transform this space into his domain.
I'm very curious.
Hei Sha finally spoke, his voice hoarse and rough, like sandpaper scraping, "How did you kill Blackwater Third Brother and the others?"
Su Yu did not answer his question.
He simply extended a finger and gently shook it at the Hei Sha.
Then, to the astonishment of Hei Sha and Luo Yuan, he held up two fingers.
"Two hours?"
Su Yu's voice was soft, yet it carried a sense of certainty that came naturally to him.
"It's been too long."
"Killing you won't take that long."
The moment the words left her lips, Luo Yuan felt her heart skip a beat.
"He's gone mad! He's completely gone mad!"
A Heaven Realm Second Level cultivator tells a top assassin at the Heaven Realm Fifth Level Peak, "Killing you won't take more than two hours?"
This isn't just arrogance; this is actively seeking death!
Hei Sha was also stunned.
He has killed more people than Su Yu has ever seen.
Some people appear fierce but are actually weak-willed before they die.
Some knelt down and begged for mercy.
Some launched a fierce counterattack.
But Su Yu is the first person to utter such arrogant words so calmly.
After a brief moment of surprise, for the first time, a smile appeared on Hei Sha's shark-like face.
That smile was chilling and cruel.
"Very good."
He nodded slowly, seemingly acknowledging Su Yu's "courage".
"As a reward for your courage, I will turn you into a water golem, condemning you to eternal damnation in the endless depths of the sea."
He raised his right hand.
laugh--
Countless fine water droplets condensed out of thin air in the surrounding air, transforming into a pitch-black trident that exuded an extremely cold aura, hovering in his palm.
The power of the laws has begun to stir.
"Timer..."
The Hei Sha's chilling voice heralded the start of this hunt.
However, Su Yu spoke two words slowly before he could.
"Start."
boom!!!
Almost at the same instant Su Yu finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly and without warning exploded!
But what was blasted open was not soil or rocks.
Instead, it was a Thunderous Abyss... woven from billions of purple-black lightning bolts and demonic shadows!
Thunder Demon Shadow Trace Steps - Ultimate Killing Move - Thunder Prison Demon Abyss!
Su Yu's figure vanished the moment the lightning exploded.
Under Luo Yuan's gaze, it wasn't a retreat, nor was it a dodge.
Instead, it took the initiative and charged towards Hei Sha, who was at the Heaven Realm Fifth Level Peak!
