chapter 1070: killing a sunmoon (1)

grandstar city.

su yu walked out of his building. when he noticed that the death qi was receding, he knew that the powerful death spirits had departed. after removing about thirty percent of the death qi in his body, he looked quite healthy.

he no longer had the mask on him. for what he was doing next, he had to remain as su yu. he started walking toward the location where the dark devil dragon had perished. he was still cautious, but he wasn't too worried anymore.

there were still a decent number of residents in the city. some of them would definitely be interested in the mayorship. but how many of them would be sunmoons?

su yu had already completed forty-nine body forgings. his physical strength had surpassed 190,000 acupoints, and his defensive strength had also grown considerably. thanks to the defensive barrier that had formed above his skin upon completing his 36th body forging, his body was now capable of withstanding a force surpassing 200,000 acupoints.

a weakling wouldn't be able to even get through his skin. combined with his yang acupoint, his ability to consume sunmoon blood essence, and his characters, his overall strength was far beyond what others imagined.

furthermore, 144 of his acupoints were on the verge of completing the first transformation. upon completion, those acupoints would grow even stronger.

but su yu was still unsure just how much stronger they would grow. he only knew that the growth wouldn't be small.

with the dark devil dragon dead, su yu was no longer too worried about his safety in the city. even if there were sunmoons among the residents, these people would have suffered significantly from death qi erosion through the recent chaos. he doubted they could even muster that much of their strength anymore.

walking on the streets, he started observing his surroundings. there were still death spirits in the city. apart from the three pseudo invincible death spirits, the others had yet to depart. and one of them was a sunmoon death spirit. that was the main reason the gates were shut.

su yu wasn't that far away in the first place, so it didn't take him long to reach the place where the dark devil dragon had died. someone else had arrived before him.

su yu was not the only person whose courage had grown after the former mayor perished.

the person standing there was someone in a humanoid form, his sunmoon aura rippling around him. when that person noticed su yu, the look in his eyes changed slightly as he asked, "you're su yu?"

"yes."

su yu's gaze landed on the two items on the ground: a storage ring and a black medallion.

with a look of alert in his eyes, the sunmoon said, "su yu, your cultivation is not enough for this. even if you get the medallion, you won't be able to refine it. instead, the medallion might trigger the death qi in your body and make your situation worse. let me have the medallion and you can have the storage ring. what do you think about this proposal?"

as a sunmoon, he was actually bargaining with su yu. why? because he was wary. he was scared.

su yu might only be a cloudbreach, but one would need to be extremely stupid to view him as a regular cloudbreach.

su yu gave the sunmoon a long stare before replying, "they're both mine. the dark devil dragon died because of me. are you here to steal the result of my hard work?"

the sunmoon said, "su yu, you're a genius, but you're also a resident. the city is currently sealed. don't tell me that you think you can kill all the sunmoons in the city as you wish."

su yu asked, "how is that related to your attempt to steal the result of my hard work?"

"the mayor's medallion isn't yours."

the sunmoon spoke even as death qi swirled around his body, "it belongs to the city. su yu, think carefully. even if you get it now, can you withstand the coming siege?"

the sunmoon said nothing. he was doubtful, but he also didn't dare to risk it. he hesitated. this was a hard choice to make. he didn't want to let go of an opportunity that was right before his eyes. this was his chance to become a regional overlord.

meanwhile, su yu was starting to lose patience. he cursed inwardly. all these people were nowhere to be seen when he was killing the dark devil dragon. but now, all of them were here.

he could sense that there were more experts hiding nearby. according to his perception jade, there were no other sunmoons around. but a few of them were mountainseas. how dare mere mountainseas get involved as well?

then again, the mountainseas of the major races wouldn't be too weak. but unless one was a genius, not even a mountainsea from a major race could overcome a sunmoon.

the saber qi in su yu's 144 acupoints started gathering strength.

at the same time, the yang acupoint started opening bit by bit.

inside his mouth, the drop of mountainbreak bull blood essence was ready to be swallowed. his strength character came on standby while his character technique took the form of a saber. the vibrate character started shaking, and his apertures readied themselves for action.

instantly, su yu's entire being started emitting a slight sense of danger.

with a cold tone, he said, "senior, please withdraw from this. as a resident, both of us should be on the same side. i doubt there are that many sunmoons among the residents. i can make you a commander of the guards. do not seek death, senior."

the sunmoon hesitated and said, "su yu, you won't be able to protect this position unless you hide in the mayor's residence forever. but that's the same as waiting for death. su yu, if you do me this favor, i can—"

whoosh!

a radiant saber rose into the sky.

favor his mother! since this sunmoon wanted a favor, he would grant the sunmoon the favor of early demise.

he was the one who had caused the dark devil dragon's death. he had nearly gotten himself killed by a pseudo invincible death spirit in the process. as a mere first-stage sunmoon, did this fellow think that he was a big deal?

an overbearingly powerful burst of saber qi surged. at the same time, a tongue appeared out of thin air behind su yu and shot toward the back of his head. as a sunmoon, the red toad was no naive youth. he was also a cunning old man.

thus, he had prepared for the eventuality of a fight as well. however, that saber carried the strength of a sunmoon. in fact, it felt far stronger than the level of a first-stage sunmoon. that was the result of a combination between the first-stage sunmoon blood essence, yang acupoint, and su yu's own strength.

as the saber descended, the red toad retreated in panic. meanwhile, his tongue continued shooting forward noiselessly. he was still trying to piece through su yu's head. could su yu survive without his head?

holding the saber with his right hand, a large hammer appeared in su yu's left hand. he swung it backward unhesitatingly. lightning, fire, and blood swirled on the surface of the hammer.

before the saber even finished its descent, the hammer struck, creating a massive rumble and generating powerful shockwaves. the tongue was turned into mincemeat.

"ahhhhhhh!"

the red toad wailed in pain as a clump of flame followed his tongue through space itself to arrive inside his mouth. the smell of burnt flesh started spreading in the area. with a desperate roar, the red toad bit his own tongue off.

finally, he was able to stop the spread of the flame in his mouth. with a thud, the cooked tongue landed on the ground. the red toad returned to his original appearance. the massive toad hurriedly leaped into the distance.

he was greatly terrified. he wasn’t sure if su yu had detonated ye batian's character during that short exchange, but he could feel that su yu was definitely fighting with the strength of a sunmoon.
