Chapter 1696: Chapter 1,599, one sword of betrayal (second watch)

With a boom, the ground nearby was pressed down by hundreds of feet!

Empress Zi Wei’s body was stuck in the mud, unable to extricate herself!

Under the suppression of the blood palm, layers of pitch-black gas were emitted from her body, overflowing from her body.

Her sparkling eyes were also covered by pitch-black at this moment.

She raised her eyes, and anger finally appeared on her cold face.

“This is the end!”Empress Zi Wei’s entire body suddenly turned snow-white, and her entire body was covered in white ice from the inside out.

Endless chalkiness and extreme cold erupted with a terrifying momentum.

The huge palm was instantly destroyed by the terrifying chalkiness and extreme cold.

Moreover, the cold air went against the momentum and charged straight at Xue Guanyin!

The bloody light around Xue Guanyin’s body swayed and transformed into a huge refining block in front of her.

However, it was still unable to withstand the eruption of the chalkiness extreme cold and was smashed into pieces!

The remaining chalkiness extreme cold did not stop it at all and wrapped around Xue Guanyin.

Xue Guanyin’s divine art was continuously broken and her face turned pale.

“Sigh, I tried my best! It’s my lack of strength that can’t be blamed on others!”Xue Guanyin sighed and took out the altar fragment from her sleeve.

Just as she was about to throw it away, a layer of space power suddenly wrapped around her.

In the next moment, she was sucked away into thin air.

Empress Zi Wei missed her attack, and traces of hostility appeared on her beautiful face. “As expected, there’s an expert on the side!”

Her ice-cold eyes shot into the depths of the ground, and she snorted coldly. Without thinking, she chased after her.

“Frozen soil of the Ice Kingdom!”Even underground, Empress Zi Wei was extremely powerful. With just a thought, she turned the ground into ice.

Walking underground like this was extremely difficult.

After Xue Guanyin was rescued, she sensed the hand that was pulling her. She knew who it was without even looking. She said angrily, “You still have the face to come back? Is this your plan?”

Su Yu smiled and did not say a word. He walked forward with difficulty in the frozen soil.

Behind him was the approaching cold air. Empress Zi Wei was about to catch up.

“Where are you taking me?”Xue Guanyin was furious.

Su Yu smiled mysteriously. “Of course, it’s to borrow strength!”

“Borrow… Strength, now?”Xue Guanyin was about to faint from Su Yu’s anger. She had fought to the death for a long time, but Su Yu did not bring any external force. Now that she was ready to leave, the external force came.

All of a sudden, Xue Guanyin sensed something and said in surprise, “Wait! There’s a very powerful ferocious creature ahead…”

“You’re right. That’s its nest…”Su Yu turned around and smiled. Then, the power of space surged out from his body and enveloped Su Yu and Xue Guanyin, disappearing together.

When Empress Zi Wei chased after them, Su Yu and the others had already left the underground.

Empress Zi Wei was about to chase after them when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the place where Su Yu had left, leaving behind a battle axe.

The Battle Axe was a one-time consumable and had already been activated.

When she arrived, the battle axe exploded with a bang.

A violent explosion shook the ground nearby.

Empress Zi Wei’s eyes were indifferent. With a casual wave of her hand, she dispersed the aftermath of the explosion.

An attack of this level was of no use to Empress Zi Wei.

With a tap of her toes, she was about to break through the frozen ground and chase after Su Yu and Xue Guanyin.

However, the explosion just now had alarmed a certain ferocious creature hidden deep underground.

Crack —

The frozen soil suddenly cracked open. Four sharp and tiny limbs pierced through the frozen soil and hugged Empress Zi Wei.

Empress Zi Wei had just sensed the existence of this ferocious creature!

“Get lost!”Empress Zi Wei shouted coldly. Her entire body emitted a powerful chalky extreme cold, freezing the four limbs into ice shards.

But the result was that the four limbs were not afraid of the Chalky Chill!

At the same time, a sharp and thin head bit through the frozen earth, revealing its true appearance.

It was an extremely crafty and sinister looking monster!

“Demon Subduing Beast?”Empress Zi Wei’s expression changed deeply!

She knew a little about the records of this thing. It was a ferocious and crafty monster.

It usually hid itself very well and was very good at sneak attacks. It could often seize the most appropriate opportunity.

The explosion just now had instantly disrupted Empress Zi Wei’s sense of danger to the outside world. And the demon subduing beast had seized this opportunity to capture Empress Zi Wei!

What was even more unfortunate was that this place happened to be the lair of the demon subduing beast.

“Xue Guanyin!”Empress Zi Wei shouted in a low and cold voice. She finally realized that she had been tricked!

In the sky above the swamp, Xue Guanyin stared at the violent and surging waves of the battle below with her mouth agape.

“The fierce beast is the external force you mentioned?”Xue Guanyin finally felt a little comforted.

Su Yu nodded and shook his head slightly. “It is not an ordinary fierce beast, but a demon subduing beast that is close to the overlord of the Mystic Crystal Realm! Three years ago, it successfully ambushed a top-tier demon overlord of the Mystic Crystal Realm!”

“What? Demon-subduing Beast?”Obviously, Xue Guanyin, who was in the Star Pavilion, had a wide range of knowledge.

“It’s actually such a troublesome demon overlord?”Xue Guanyin’s expression was very interesting. She was shocked, shouting, and then she could not stop laughing, she gloated and said, “Demon-subduing beast, this is a precious demon that rarely misses its target once it has caught its prey. If you encounter it at the same level, you would be afraid to avoid it! Moreover, this one is about to reach the overlord of the Mystic Crystal Realm!”

“Even if Empress Ziwei doesn’t die, I think she will still lose a layer of skin!”Xue Guanyin giggled. Her depressed mood was swept away and she let out a breath of turbid air.

Even if she withdrew now, she did not have too much hatred.

However, when she came back to her senses, Xue Guanyin stared at Su Yu suspiciously. She bared her teeth and said unkindly, “Humph! There was this vicious beast long ago. Why didn’t you lure her here from the beginning? You almost caused me to be injured by her again!”

Su Yu said, “If you didn’t provoke her, would she be easily fooled with her vigilance?”

“No!”Xue Guanyin Thought for a while, she said with certainty, “Judging from my two exchanges, although she is confident in her own strength, she is terrifyingly experienced on the spot. She would never chase me to an unknown dangerous area.”

If she had fled to the swamp from the beginning, Empress Zi Wei would never act rashly.

Only after a few rounds of fighting and provoking her would she lose some of her vigilance.

Thinking of this, Xue Guanyin looked at Su Yu curiously. She did not understand why Su Yu, who did not look much older than her, was so smart?

He could see through people’s hearts, make ingenious arrangements, grasp the timing, and so on. He was as experienced as an old monster that had been around for thousands of years.

He seemed to be very familiar with doing all these things.

Xue Guanyin snorted indignantly and said, “Well, I admit that you’re a little smart, but only a little!”

Su Yu smiled and stared at the tumultuous swamp below. “Actually, this is just the beginning of my plan. If it really starts, I need you to help me with something.”

Xue Guanyin came over and blinked her clear black and white eyes.

Su Yu completely aroused her curiosity!

“What, what is it? Tell Me First!”Xue Guanyin was itching to pry open Su Yu’s brain and see what was inside.

Su Yu stared at her and said in a strange tone, “I can only tell you that I will not only let Empress Ziwei learn a lesson, but also eliminate her!”

“Ah?”Xue Guanyin widened her bright eyes in disbelief. “What do you want to Do?”

Su Yu’s tone became unfathomable. A sense of strangeness and coldness swept towards Xue Guanyin.

Along with it was a silent asura sword. It stabbed towards the defenseless Xue Guanyin from Su Yu’s sleeve without any warning.

“You… Su Yu, you want to kill me?”Xue Guanyin could not believe her eyes.

She stared at the huge sword that was stabbing at her chest, her mind blank.

She could not understand why Su Yu, who had been on her side before, wanted to kill her now?

The other party had attacked too quickly, too suddenly, and too mercilessly!

Xue Guanyin did not have time to react. She could only watch as the huge sword stabbed at her vital points!

Ding —

The dream ancient altar sensed the danger of Xue Guanyin. A powerful fluctuation was generated and blocked the huge sword.

She was spared from death. As a price, she was eliminated!

The altar fragment in her sleeve flew out and fell into Su Yu’s palm.

Xue Guanyin shook her head in disbelief. Why did Su Yu do this.

If he wanted the altar fragment, she would have given it to him as long as he asked!

Why did he betray her and give her a sword?

This sword did not hurt her person, but it hurt her heart.

It was rare to trust someone, but in the blink of an eye, she was betrayed.

Her figure slowly disappeared, and Su Yu’s figure playing with the altar fragment was reflected in her eyes.

That expression, that figure, it was so vague and so unfamiliar!

“This is the last time I’ll teach you. Don’t trust people too much,”Su Yu said indifferently.

Xue Guanyin was swept out of the dream ancient altar in a daze.

She expressionlessly put away the altar fragment and said indifferently, “Come out, heartless blade emperor! Have you been hiding at the side for a long time?”

Rumble Rumble Rumble —

In the forest not far away, ancient trees were trampling and rocks were flying everywhere.

A haughty figure stepped on a huge blade. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and sneered, “Hehe, how wonderful!”

“I always thought that you, Su Yu, were a gentleman, but I didn’t expect you to be a hypocrite! You really had the heart to strike that sword! I’m sure Xue Guanyin must be devastated!”Heartless Blade Emperor looked at Su Yu and said sarcastically.

Su Yu’s face was indifferent as he said leisurely, “Those who achieve great things don’t care about trifles. I only met her by chance, so what if I took her fragments?”

Heartless blade emperor laughed, “What a good saying, those who achieve great things don’t care about trifles! Although you are a good-for-nothing, this saying is not wrong!”

Immediately, his eyes were stunned, he sneered coldly, “Then, now you should understand what kind of decision you should make in order to achieve my great things. Hand over all the altar fragments on your body and I’ll let you go as soon as possible! Otherwise, there will be no lack of torture!”

Su Yu was indifferent and said with his hands behind his back, “If a person does not have foresight, he will definitely bring about his own destruction, let alone accomplish a great task.”

Heartless blade emperor laughed coldly, “Stop trying to reason with me. Hand over the fragments. Take advantage of the fact that my attitude towards you has slightly changed and I do not want to make a move on you.”

Su Yu’s expression was indifferent as he said, “Hehe, the stupidest person is invincible! You can accomplish your great task just by taking my fragments? Unless, your great task is not the Buddhist relic in the second floor of the Attic!”

After his thoughts were exposed, heartless blade emperor’s pupils shrank.

His gaze was cold and stern. The giant saber under his feet flew over with a swoosh and slashed towards Su Yu. “You talk too much!”

Su Yu did not Dodge. Even if the saber qi brushed past his face and lifted his silver hair, he still did not move.
