"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could you have opened so many acupoints? This is an illusion, it must be an illusion!"
Seeing the acupoints on Su Xiuyi's body light up one after another without concealment, Lang Yue's eyes filled with terror. He had been in the Sun and Moon Realm for many years and knew Human Race martial artists extremely well. He knew how difficult it was for them to open acupoints. Even those in the Invincible Realm had opened only a little over two hundred, yet Su Xiuyi, whose cultivation was merely at the Mountain and Sea Realm, had opened close to three hundred. Lang Yue could not believe it.
According to Human Race research, the body simply did not have that many acupoints. The Greater Celestial Circuit acupoints had long been lost in the immemorial era.
So, looking at the number of Su Xiuyi's acupoints, Lang Yue could not believe it at all.
"Nothing is impossible. Die!"
There was not a trace of mercy in Su Xiuyi's eyes as the black saber in his hand moved.
"Avici Hell!"
Su Xiuyi slashed with his black saber, sending terrifying saber Qi sweeping out. Lang Yue's pupils contracted. It was as though the slash had opened the gates of hell, sending monstrous Sha Qi soaring into the sky. Within it, Lang Yue felt countless hideous evil ghosts pouncing at him.
"Crack, crack!"
Lang Yue fell into utter despair. The Invincible Will Character before him was cracking, and in the next instant, it shattered into fragments that filled the air before his eyes.
Shing!
A razor-sharp streak of saber Qi swept past. The next moment, the mountain behind Lang Yue collapsed with a thunderous rumble, revealing a smooth cut surface.
"No..."
Lang Yue clutched his neck with both hands, but blood kept spurting between his fingers, and his gaze began to lose focus.
Su Xiuyi's expression did not change in the slightest. He appeared beside Lang Yue and reached out to seize his head, separating it from his body.
Having done all this, Su Xiuyi remained utterly calm and walked toward the exit, one step at a time.
Streaks of saber Qi began to rage through the place. The mountain collapsed, burying the cavern and destroying everything there.
"Who goes there?"
Before Su Xiuyi could get out, a figure blocked his path, his expression icy cold. That was where Lang Yue had been cultivating in seclusion, and now it had been destroyed. An old eunuch who had just entered the place immediately fixed his attention on Su Xiuyi and the corpse servant.
A eunuch?
Could someone in the imperial capital have discovered that Lang Yue was hiding here and sent someone to kill him? After all, Lang Yue was no weakling. An ordinary peak Sun and Moon Realm cultivator was no match for him. Hearing the eunuch's words, Su Xiuyi silently speculated.
Su Xiuyi raised his head and looked at the eunuch. He waved the head in his hand and explained, "Lang Yue, a survivor of the Silver Wolf Clan. I happened to discover his whereabouts and killed him. There's no need for you to act, Senior. This is Lang Yue's head."
"What?"
"You killed Lang Yue?"
Yet when Su Xiuyi finished speaking, the eunuch showed no joy. Instead, a cold killing intent appeared in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Su Xiuyi.
Hmm?
Could this man be in league with Lang Yue?
When Su Xiuyi saw the old eunuch's expression, his eyes darkened. The old eunuch's reaction was far too strange. If he had come to kill Lang Yue, he should have been glad that Su Xiuyi had done it, not furious and humiliated.
"Senior, I did indeed kill Lang Yue!"
Faced with the man's questioning, Su Xiuyi frowned but explained himself again. What if he had misunderstood him?
"Brat, you're courting death!"
"You actually had someone kill Lang Yue?" Su Xiuyi's confirmation sent the old eunuch into a fury. He stared fixedly at Su Xiuyi, his eyes turning blood-red in an instant.
The killing intent in his eyes instantly reached a terrifying degree.
Damn it, he actually killed Lang Yue! Lang Yue's bloodline was rich, and he was a hidden piece cultivated by His Majesty. His Majesty seemed to attach immense importance to him. I came this time to take Lang Yue away for questioning. The old eunuch was furious to the extreme.
"You're courting death! Who are you?"
The old eunuch looked at Su Xiuyi, his voice icy cold, as though it came from beneath the Nine Nether Purgatory.
"Lang Yue is dead, yet you're this angry. The Human Race and the Demon Race are locked in a struggle to the death, as all humans know. You're a eunuch from the imperial palace, yet you colluded with the Demon Race. You deserve death even more than they do." Su Xiuyi's expression turned chillingly cold. He finally began to study the old eunuch before him in earnest.
"Who are you, hiding your head and showing your tail, to question how I conduct my affairs?" The old eunuch nearly exploded with rage.
"You colluded with the Demon Race-the very Demon Race that killed the imperial tutor. You're the one who deserves to die!"
A chilling smile touched Su Xiuyi's lips. In the next instant, he charged at the old eunuch, drawing his black saber for the second time.
The old eunuch's strength was unfathomable. The corpse servant moved too, soaring into the air and locking onto him, leaving him no chance to escape.
Hmm?
The Innate White Bone Divine Ability, coupled with this saber intent. No wonder they could kill Lang Yue. As an expert from the imperial palace, the old eunuch naturally had a discerning eye, and he assessed their strength.
As he felt Su Xiuyi's saber intent surge and his presence grow ever more terrifying, the old eunuch's expression gradually turned grave. A lion used its full strength even when hunting a rabbit; he did not want to capsize in a gutter. Since Lang Yue had died too, he felt that Su Xiuyi and his companion were no weaklings.
But when he fought Su Xiuyi, the old eunuch's expression changed completely. He found it incredible that Su Xiuyi's strength was so terrifying, and his hands trembled slightly.
"Avici Hell!"
After they separated, an utterly terrifying saber intent erupted from Su Xiuyi. His acupoints lit up one after another, and he slashed at the old eunuch.
Watching Su Xiuyi's acupoints light up, the old eunuch's eyes filled with disbelief. The number of acupoints on Su Xiuyi's body frightened him so badly that he trembled all over, for the number known to the Human Race was nowhere near this great.
"Impossible!"
The old eunuch roared in disbelief, then hastily shouted, "Heavenly Gang Virgin Art!"
A huge golden Gang Qi barrier enveloped the old eunuch.
Rumble!
At that instant, the saber light descended.
When the Heavenly Gang Virgin Art, the old eunuch's pride, met the saber light, it was rapidly worn away by the hundred-meter blade of light.
"The Heavenly Gang Virgin Art is hailed as the Eastern Depot's strongest ultimate art, but it amounts to no more than this!"
The presence within Su Xiuyi surged once more, and the utterly terrifying saber light cut straight down.
"Rip!"
A piercing sound rang out as the old eunuch was cut down along with the Gang Qi barrier. His corpse split in two in midair and fell straight into the abyss below.
