Lu Haosen was stunned and he immediately grinned . "A quick fight? Yes, it will be a quick fight to defeat a piece of trash like you . "
Swish—
Lu Haosen boldly made his move .
Underneath his red clothes, his muscle convulsed and gradually expanded with his abundant spiritual energy .
His soft body had been transformed into an iron-like physique! He was full of muscles!
Popping sounds came from his body and he crackled with a bang . The reverberating sound was actually his bones undergoing astonishing changes . His height grew by more than half!
"Senior Brother Lu's Golden Transformation Mantra has been cultivated to Stage One Top Class . Not only he can transform his muscles, he can also change his bones as he has reached the third realm . " A junior brother looked envious .
"Junior Brother Lu is conscientious . Although his appearance may be quite unruly, he's quite cautious at the heart . You could learn more from him . " A Fifth Level Peak Holy King stood with his arms folded and with admiration in his eyes as he admonished the disciples around him .
Everyone agreed . There were many dangers in the Abyss of Wutong . Caution and prudence were essential for survival and Lu Haosen understood this point extremely well .
Therefore, his habit dictated that, even if he despised Su Yu, he would never be careless .
In the blink of an eye, Lu Haosen transformed into a two-foot-high metal giant!
The terrible power of his inner strength flooded his entire body and the surface of his body appeared to have formed a thick layer of blood membrane .
Not only could the blood membrane be transformed into a form of offensive force, it could also weaken the opponent's attack as a form of defense .
Unexpectedly, Lu Haosen was a master of body refinement!
"Although I don't know how you got into the Abyss of Wutong, it's unfortunate for you to have met me the moment you have arrived!" Lu Haosen took a step and the ground slightly quaked!
The rocks underneath his feet fractured into several fine lines .
"And now, I'm going to beat you up so that you will show your true colors!" Lu Haosen growled . With his knees slightly bent, he was ready to launch!
Bang—
The rocks underneath his feet rumbled . His entire person turned into a red blur and he charged straight toward Su Yu!
He got closer within that brief instant despite the seemingly long distance .
Lu Haosen's humongous right fist, strengthened with the force of his crimson color inner strength, struck with a loud bang .
It was powerful and crushing . Su Yu felt as if he was still a mortal and a large stone had suddenly fallen on top of his head .
His body felt crushed . He found it hard to breathe and his chest felt tight .
What a powerful physical force! It was unfortunate that he had met Su Yu!
Crackle—
Bluish-green ice flames burst up, sixty feet high!
The terrible chill immediately caused a cold mist to fill the entire place .
Su Yu looked calmly at his opponent's terrible fist while his own right fist rapidly absorbed a large amount of the bluish-green ice flame .
Wheezing—
The bluish-green ice flame rapidly increased in size and converged within Su Yu's small right fist as it transformed it into a massive fist!
His opponent's gigantic fist came attacking!
Su Yu slightly turned sideways with his right fist drawn back and then . . . like a dragon rising from the sea, he suddenly struck with his fist!
Boom—
Both their fists collided and erupted in an explosion .
Su Yu's extreme chill clashed with Lu Haosen's inner strength and the fallout of the collision sprayed everywhere!
Thud, thud, thud—
Lu Haosen tumbled backward .
The corners of his mouth overflowed with traces of blood, his entire right arm was burnt by bluish-green ice flames and had completely turned into an icicle .
A look of anguish emerged on his face . His confidence and calm vanished in an instant . Instead, shock and alarm filled his eyes .
Was his full strike inferior to his opponent's?
He was very aware that Su Yu had held back . Otherwise, that strike would not have just jolted his insides .
The Abyss of Wutong disciples gasped . "Lu Haosen was defeated?"
"The real shocker is this new kid… When did such a freak emerge from the Faction?" Another senior disciple lightly gasped .
A Fourth Level Upper Tier Holy King had defeated a Fifth Level Upper Tier Holy King . If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe .
The Fourth Elder slightly frowned; Su Yu had become stronger in just a few days! He could still easily prevail without the aid of the divine artifact .
Even when there was the divine artifact in his last duel with Yang Fan, it was still a hard-won victory for him .
Su Yu withdrew his fist and the sixty-foot high ice flame slowly pulled back into his body . He gave Lu Haosen a cool glance and walked away with the departing team without a word .
His cold look of indifference made Lu Haosen felt deeply humiliated . He felt the loss of face even more .
This fight was indeed fast, but it was Su Yu who easily won!
"Time is pressing . You can set out now," the Fourth Elder ordered indifferently .
Mo Wu took the lead and quickly led her team to down toward the bottom of the Abyss of Wutong . "Use your spiritual energy in your eyes to maintain your vision!" During their fall, Mo Wu immediately became aware that the abyss was pitch-black . No wonder the assessment required a strong eyesight .
Everyone activated their spiritual energies and adjusted their vision to adapt to the dark .
Only Su Yu's crystalline pupils were flickering as the darkness appeared like daylight to his eyes . Furthermore, Su Yu could even penetrate the dark abyss and see the deep bottom with a glance!
The abyss was more than thirty miles deep . If Su Yu's vision had been unable to reach fifty miles, it would have been difficult for him to detect the deep bottom .
"Everybody, pay attention to the formation!" Mo Wu stared at the bottomless dark abyss and coldly commanded them . "The three team leaders will form a drag angle and lead the way . The ten Sixth Level Holy Kings shall encircle the twenty Fifth Level Holy Kings to protect them . We'll slowly advance in a triangular formation!"
Hearing those words, the team immediately regrouped .
Su Yu and the rest of the Fifth Level Holy Kings were in the center and were swiftly surrounded by the ten Sixth Level Holy Kings . Every angle had a strong guard . They would be protected at any time if danger struck .
In terms of the angle, it just so happened that Tang Yixuan had inopportunely appeared in Su Yu's direction .
When he saw that it was Su Yu, Tang Yixuan's lips slightly twitched . He was mean and taunting . "Aren't you powerful? Do I even need to protect you?"
Su Yu's expression was calm . "If you have the time to mock others, you better pay attention to the surroundings . Be careful, you don't know when something may attack . "
"There's that self-righteousness again . I, Tang Yixuan don't need your reminder . "
However, Tang Yixuan's voice had just trailed off when the team leader Mo Wu called out, "Tang Yixuan! Be careful!"
Screech—
Subtle and rapid sounds came in a dense rush from the precipice of the rock wall, aiming for the center of the team . And it just so happened to be the direction that Tang Yixuan was responsible for .
Tang Yixuan's face changed as he looked over in a fluster . It turned out to be a group of powerful bats!
A bat with the lowest cultivation base was a Fourth Level Peak Holy King and the highest was a Fifth Level Upper Tier Holy King!
There were hundreds!
Tang Yixuan hurriedly responded to the sudden invasion . His Sixth Level Holy King power erupted like never before!
Boom—
Plop—
Tang Yixuan was indeed a Sixth Level Holy King . His ability was profound and unpredictable . He killed a bat with every move he made .
When the colony of bats swarmed over, many of them were killed by him!
There were only a few bats left . There was not enough time to ward the bats off .
Two of them bypassed him and charged into the pack of Fifth Level Holy Kings and were strangled to death on the spot .
The last Fifth Level Upper Tier Holy King bat seized the opportunity to take a bite out of Tang Yixuan .
Ah—
Tang Yixuan groaned, there was a soul-stinging pain in his shoulder where he was bitten!
Tang Yixuan killed the last bat in fury, but the pain deep in his soul was slow to dissipate . So, his features were twisted and he was in pain .
"These are the demonic blood bats, you should be thankful that they are not poisonous . You will only feel the pain that's all!" Mo Wu coldly snorted with barely concealed anger!
Mo Wu's phoenix eyes were cool . "Pay attention to the surroundings . The next time, you will be beheaded without mercy!"
Obviously, Tang Yixuan's carelessness had almost caused losses to the team .
Tang Yixuan swallowed his pain and his heart slightly quivered . He did not feel that Mo Wu was making a joke .
Regaining his composure, Tang Yixuan paid close attention to the surroundings .
Though, whenever his gaze swept past Su Yu and Mo Wu, a hint of hidden venom slithered within his eyes .
Due to Tang Yixuan's encounter, many inattentive Sixth Level Holy Kings quickly braced themselves . They looked at each other because they all felt there was something strange going on .
After taking a moment to consider, they decided to voice it out to Mo Wu .
"Senior Sister Mo, there is a matter I feel like I should tell you!"
Mo Wu raised her eyebrows slightly . "Speak . "
"The demonic blood bats normally live at the bottom of the abyss, they rarely venture out! We are not even down below for less than a tenth of the distance and we have encountered the demonic blood bats . This almost never happens, unless there are very special circumstances . " They had been stationed here for years and knew a lot about the demonic blood bats .
Now, the appearance of the demonic blood bats in this section greatly attracted their attention .
A vigilant look slipped across Mo Wu's pretty eyes; even if it was only a coincidence, they had to guard against it .
"What type of special circumstances?" Mo Wu questioned closely .
"For the demonic blood bats have only left once before, and that was a month ago . The bottom of the abyss had an earthquake and many demonic blood bats fled the abyss in terror . "
Was there an earthquake in the area a month ago? She had not heard of it before . Could it be that the Fourth Elder did not report it to the Faction?
However, an earthquake did not seem significant enough for it to be reported .
Curbing her misgivings, Mo Wu insisted, "We need to strengthen our security!"
Swish—
They crossed the darkness and encountered a few more colonies of demonic blood bats along the way .
The strange phenomenon made Mo Wu and the others even more alert .
Finally, they succeeded in their descent to the bottom of the abyss .
When their feet stepped onto the ruin, everyone was more vigilant .
"Stay in your formation! Be highly alert! There will be other dark demonic beasts other than the demonic blood bats from the precipices of the rock walls and bottom . With their strong abilities, we must not be careless!" Mo Wu lightly called out and immediately led the team to proceed to the forbidden ruin .
Su Yu's brilliant pupils looked through the dark and scanned the bottom .
Unfortunately, the bottom of the abyss had twists and turns . His line of sight was blocked by the ruin's rubble . Su Yu could only observe the surroundings within ten miles .
Suddenly, Su Yu was stunned to discover that there was an unexpected flash of a black figure ten miles away!
The figure's speed was very fast, it was beyond the speed of any Holy King! A spine-chilling scary energy also surrounded the figure's body!
His gaze quickly pursued the figure . They stood in a section of the rubble, looking for something . A moment later, he looked like he had found something and ducked into the ruin .
Thump, thump—
Su Yu's heart jumped .
Was that a man or a demonic beast?
Rumor had it that there were human-like demonic beasts in existence . Could it be that the Abyss of Wutong also had such peculiar monsters?
Su Yu gasped . The figure seemed to have discovered Su Yu's gaze and they thrust out from within the ruin!
A pair of eyes produced two scarlet rays of light! Only ten miles away, he stared coldly at Su Yu!
His body gave a shudder . Su Yu felt a numbness washed over him as those scarlet ghostly eyes stared at him!
