Chapter 815: Su Yu Battles Hundred Battles

"You have been plotting for many years..."

Su Yu let out a sigh. "I never imagined you started scheming so long ago. Is what you said about guiding the Human Ancestor true or false? Why do you want to open the Gate of Hell?"

Was it really that simple?

Su Yu continued, "Did you know from the beginning, or did you only learn of it after Zhou Ji's appearance? And thus chose to betray?"

"Baizhan... you could have become the strongest ruler of this generation, the heir to the Human Emperor. Why are you so stubbornly misguided?"

Su Yu murmured, "The Human Emperor—in your eyes, is he truly inferior to the Human Ancestor?"

Su Yu chuckled lightly. "Why do I feel the Human Emperor is even more formidable than the Human Ancestor?"

In Su Yu's eyes, the Human Emperor might not be entirely reliable... well, actually, he was quite reliable. Though Su Yu hadn't inherited the Human Emperor's path of responsibility, in his view, the Human Emperor was still a man of great vision and ability.

The skilled warrior has no conspicuous feats!

In ancient times, the Human Emperor was less renowned than King Wen, yet King Wen respected him, King Wu respected him... all the ancient strong ones respected him.

When the crisis arrived, the Human Emperor stood up swiftly and quelled it.

Perhaps the Human Emperor thought he would return soon.

After he left, humanity could rise quickly.

But the result? A divine pitfall!

Su Yu felt the Human Emperor's life was tragic—betrayed at his peak by King Wen, betrayed by King Wu, and in the final moment, betrayed by Prison King, by Baizhan and these people, even Great Zhou King and the rest were divine pitfalls!

Betrayed so many times and still not dead—with such terrible teammates, one had to admit the Human Emperor was incredible!

Anyone else would have been done in long ago!

It was a miracle he had survived this long.

"The Human Emperor?"

Baizhan didn't seem too anxious either, speaking softly with a smile: "The Human Emperor is strong, very visionary—he even opened his own world. Who would dare say the Human Emperor is not strong?"

Su Yu's heart trembled slightly!

Baizhan knew!

He knew the Human Emperor had opened a world!

Baizhan laughed again: "It's not just the Human Emperor who is strong. King Wen is strong too—these people are all very powerful. But if I told you the Human Ancestor is even stronger, you might find it hard to believe... yet that is the truth!"

With a smile, he slowly said: "Do you know what the Human Ancestor's most glorious achievement was?"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow: "Tell me."

"Defeating the Lord of the Dead!"

Baizhan spoke slowly: "The Lord of the Dead did not vanish on his own; it was because of the Human Ancestor's existence that he was forced to disappear... Does that make it clear to you?"

"In this world today, the Lord of Time might be the first, and you might think the Lord of the Dead is second... but in truth, the Human Ancestor is no weaker than the Lord of the Dead—perhaps even stronger!"

Baizhan sighed: "You all think you are right! Wrong! The Human Emperor opened a world—what kind of world? A chaotic one! A feeble one! As for you, Su Yu..."

Baizhan smiled: "You want to say your trump card is your world, don't you?"

Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Why do you always underestimate the people of this world?"

Baizhan murmured: "You do it, and the Human Emperor did it too—he thought he could solve all problems. But in reality, Su Yu, do you think you can surpass the Human Emperor? Surpass the Lord of the Dead? Surpass the Lord of Time? Even the Lord of the Dead could not match the Human Ancestor, and the Human Ancestor could not solve these problems either—he could only rely on time to grind everything down. What makes you, Su Yu, think you can achieve it?"

At this moment, Su Yu's heart was churning.

Was Baizhan... in despair?

Perhaps he had once wanted to rise and strive, but it seemed he was utterly hopeless.

Was the Human Emperor strong?

Su Yu had thought Baizhan didn't know the Human Emperor had opened a world, but Baizhan did.

Not only that, Baizhan also knew secrets Su Yu had never learned—for instance, that the Human Ancestor might have once defeated the Lord of the Dead!

That was a shocking revelation!

In Su Yu's eyes, the Human Ancestor's path was strong—the path of the physical body, terrifyingly powerful—but no matter how strong, Su Yu thought it should be inferior to the Human Emperor's. Yet according to Baizhan, the Human Ancestor was definitely stronger than the Human Emperor.

After all, the Lord of the Dead was certainly stronger than the Human Emperor!

So, the Human Ancestor... might have also opened a world?

Was that it?

Just like King Wen—everyone thought he wielded the path of the brush, but no, he had long abandoned it and opened his own world, though Su Yu didn't know where.

Thoughts swirled in Su Yu's mind.

Not only that, but Baizhan also knew he had opened a world. Thinking of this, Su Yu said softly: "Did Thunderstorm tell you?"

"Thunderstorm?"

Baizhan laughed: "Was that necessary? No! Su Yu, don't think you are the only genius, the only wise one. The moment I saw you emerge from the Dead Realm, I understood!"

"Don't you think only the Gate of Heaven can observe everything?"

Baizhan smiled: "I didn't open the Gate of Heaven—I opened the Gate of Man!"

Gate of Man!

Su Yu was startled. What did that mean?

On Baizhan's forehead, a small gate appeared, slightly different from Su Yu's gate. Baizhan said softly: "The Gate of Heaven requires opening seven hundred and twenty acupoints—too complicated! The Gate of Man is much simpler. Humanity's development of the physical body is too shallow. When you push the body to its limits, you'll find some things aren't so difficult... for instance, the Gate of Man!"

Su Yu frowned: "Gate of Man... Gate of Heaven... Gate of Hell... the three gates of Heaven, Earth, and Man?"

Su Yu frowned: "That doesn't make sense. If so, the Gate of Earth comes first, and the Gate of Heaven comes after?"

Some things were not just names; they carried special meanings. For example, according to Baizhan, there was also a Gate of Man. How could the Gate of Heaven come after the Gate of Earth?

The Gate of Earth sealed chaos, while the Gate of Heaven sealed the era of creation?

Strange!

Baizhan laughed: "It doesn't have to follow chronological order... Isn't it better to rank by strength? Simple: the beings inside the Gate of Heaven are stronger—so naturally it's called the Gate of Heaven! For instance... the Lord of Time!"

Su Yu's heart stirred!

"Is the Lord of Time really inside the Gate of Heaven? And the Lord of the Dead?"

"Perhaps he is too!"

Baizhan said softly: "Who knows? Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. What does it matter to you?"

Baizhan sighed: "Su Yu, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. When you know too much, don't you feel despair?"

Su Yu thought for a moment and shook his head: "No. Knowing a lot excites me!"

Su Yu said excitedly: "For instance, now that I know you know so much, I really want to beat you to death, devour your memories, and see exactly how much you know. Tell me, am I a bit twisted?"

Su Yu was thrilled: "I love this feeling of peeling back someone's secrets and seeing through everything! I love the thrill of having everything under control, of knowing it all!"

Su Yu let out a sinister chuckle: "You don't get it. That feeling is absolutely incredible! For instance, you don't know who your father is, but I do. I expose it right in front of you, and you're dumbfounded—'So that's my father... Su Yu is amazing, he actually knows who my father is!'

"That's the feeling!"

Su Yu laughed, a bit maniacally: "So... that despair you speak of, I want to try it! In my life, if there's been despair, it's only happened once. After that, I told myself: never again despair, never again rely on others. Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself—everything must be fought for!"

Su Yu pointed into the distance, toward the human realm, and laughed: "Just a few years ago! Right there! My teacher was besieged and killed, my elders, my friends... they were surrounded and slaughtered over there! I shouted, 'Save them!'—I begged everyone, I offered my most precious treasures, some of my secrets, things no one thought I should possess..."

"That day, I was utterly despaired!"

"No one was willing to help me!"

Su Yu's smile was dazzling: "Baizhan, have you ever experienced that kind of despair? Your loved ones, right before your eyes, being slaughtered! You beg for help, but no one listens, no one wants to help... I was young then, just starting out in martial arts, only eighteen... Though I'm not much older now, I've been through far too much!"

Su Yu's smile grew even brighter: "From that day on, I knew: everything depends on myself! I found my own backers, my own protectors—everything, I found on my own. I never again expected these things to come knocking at my door, because... I don't need them anymore!"

"When I was weak, I called everyone 'grandfather,' 'ancestor,' 'master,' 'mistress'... Baizhan, you've probably never been through this. If you had, you'd understand... what does it matter?"

Su Yu roared with laughter: "What are ancient secrets, primordial legends, human ancestors or human emperors? Are they more reliable than myself? If I have the ability, I can take everything. If you don't give it to me, I'll beat you to death! It's that simple!"

"You, a pampered creature, probably don't understand!"

Su Yu shook his head: "What a pity! Then again, I've heard that from childhood you were gifted, treated like a treasure by the old fossils of antiquity. You've never experienced this, never known that kind of despair. So, the despair you speak of... to me, it's laughable!"

Su Yu shook his head with a sneer, full of mockery: "Indeed, how could those from the previous tidal eras understand? How could you, who've been sheltered since birth, understand? Do you know what it felt like for me, a weakling at the Kaiyuan stage, to have to kill someone and earn merits just for a single drop of Qianjun Ironwing Bird's essence blood?"

"I was eighteen, at Kaiyuan... you probably don't even know what Kaiyuan is! Someone like you might have been born with all nine apertures open, even crossing into Qianjun in a single day... You probably don't know what Kaiyuan means... I, who had only ever written characters, for the first time in the academy, beat a cultist of the Ten Thousand Races to death with my bare hands... That feeling, it's different!"

Su Yu's smile grew even more radiant: "To me, do you think the secrets you speak of count as despair? How ridiculous!"

Baizhan's smile gradually faded as he looked at Su Yu.

This, perhaps, was the first time he had delved so deeply into understanding Su Yu.

Eighteen years old, from a student who only read books, killing for the first time—for a bit of merit, to exchange for a drop of essence blood so weak it was negligible.

His teachers were besieged and killed; he shouted hoarsely, begged, pleaded... but no one helped him.

Despair?

Utter despair!

Baizhan didn't understand, because as Su Yu said, he had never experienced such a scene. He was exceptionally gifted, protected by countless ancient relics from a very young age!

When Su Yu spoke of these things, Baizhan fell silent.

Su Yu laughed again: "You've been stalling for so long—are you waiting for news? Waiting for the Martial Emperor to truly be taken away, lured off by Zhou Ji, right?"

Baizhan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Su Yu smiled: "Don't worry. That fool Martial Emperor, to be honest, isn't very smart. He's probably been lured away!"

Baizhan raised his eyebrow again: "Su Yu, you're very confident. Is it because you opened the heavens with the sun and moon?"

"Opening the heavens... indeed, it's extraordinary, remarkable! But you've only just opened them!"

Baizhan sighed: "I originally thought you'd have the Martial Emperor deal with me, or lure me deep into the chaos, into your world. But I see you've done neither!"

He was surprised: "Are you that confident?" A hint of a smile crept in: "Confident enough to think you can really handle me?"

"Why not?"

Su Yu also smiled: "Baizhan, do you know the biggest difference between you and me?"

"Pray tell!"

"I'm a bit... shameless... If I can't handle it... I'll run!"

Baizhan was momentarily stunned. Su Yu had already vanished from where he stood.

Baizhan's face stiffened!

It was Su Yu who had forced him, who had sealed the lower realm. And now, after chatting for a while, Su Yu had actually run away!

What was this?

Baizhan's expression turned slightly sour. Then, suddenly, a portal appeared on his forehead. He threw a punch—seemingly casual—but it blasted across ten thousand miles, shattering the void in the distance!

Su Yu's figure abruptly reappeared.

With a hint of gravity, he looked at Baizhan and frowned: "Are you really going to pester me? We were just talking—can't we leave it at that? Do we have to fight for real?"

Just talking?

Did you think this was a joke?

Baizhan's face darkened: "Su Yu, you are, after all, a lord of an era!"

Su Yu grinned cheekily: "Oh, really? If you kill yourself, I'll even call you 'Dad'! Baizhan, you were taught that as a sovereign, you must have sovereign dignity... But I never studied the art of emperorship—sorry about that!"

Dignity?

What's that?

I don't know!

People like Baizhan were traditional emperors, indoctrinated from childhood with certain ideals, certain habits that were hard to change.

The difference between a rogue and an aristocrat!

Face? Su Yu treated it like dung—useful for decoration when needed, worthless when not.

With that, Su Yu vanished again!

Baizhan watched coldly. Could you escape?

Since you came, don't think of leaving!

"Chase!"

Baizhan gave a low command. Changmei, Changqing, and the others shed all fawning expressions, their faces turning grave, and vanished in an instant.

Su Yu couldn't escape!

And Baizhan had locked onto Su Yu. Run?

You can't get away!

His 'human gate' had been fixed on Su Yu. Did Su Yu think he could flee to the chaos, to his own world?

Impossible!

Baizhan strode through the void, tearing it apart with incredible speed!

In an instant, he appeared in one direction, but Su Yu hadn't arrived yet.

However, Su Yu quickly changed course and continued his flight.

Baizhan frowned: "Since you sealed the lower realm, wasn't it to settle this with me? Su Yu, if you run again, I'll go to the upper realm and kill your people!"

He could go to the upper realm too!

If Su Yu kept running, he would go kill!

Su Yu bared his teeth: "Go ahead!"

Baizhan was taken aback!

Su Yu chuckled: "Go kill! My father, my master, my friends—I've hidden them all. The rest... well, they're just subordinates. Killing subordinates, I don't care! If you find my father and kill him, I'll surrender. Otherwise, go ahead and kill. Kill them all, and I'll just hide and kill your entire family every day... Hah, threatening me with that? What a joke!"

Su Yu’s face was smug: “If it really comes to it, you kill them all, and I’ll go upstream in the River of Time to find the Human Emperor and the others. I’ve nothing to hold me back anyway, so running away is only natural. Grandson, if you don’t kill them, you’re no Hundred Battles! Idiot, you think that threat scares me? Do I look afraid of that?”

“……”

Bai Zhan’s face turned icy: “So everything you said—for humanity, for the greater cause—was all a lie?”

“No, it wasn’t!”

Su Yu fled as he spoke, laughing: “This is called applying the principle with limits: when you succeed, you benefit the world! When I can’t beat you, can’t outfight you, then I keep to myself in poverty! I studied well—I understand that saying perfectly! If I can kill you, I’ll bring benefit to all; if I can’t… then I’ll just look after myself! Is that so hard to grasp? Reading should be alive, not dead. Little Bai Zhan, you’re still too green, ruined by those old fossils!”

Bai Zhan laughed: “What a ‘too green’ indeed. Su Yu, it seems you really are a tough nut to crack!”

The threat didn’t work!

Bai Zhan was actually thinking: if he really went to the upper realm to kill people, would Su Yu care?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

But it was just talk!

How could he leave now to go kill those people?

Since Su Yu was trapped in the lower realm…

Just as he finished speaking, Su Yu suddenly opened a necromantic passage and said cheerfully, “Little Bai Zhan, farewell! I’m off to the Netherworld! Oh, and I recorded your betrayal of humanity—looks like you’ll soon be public enemy number one!”

Bai Zhan’s expression shifted: “Think you can leave?”

He threw a punch, and at the same time, a portal suddenly appeared in the sky—the portal on Bai Zhan’s forehead. As soon as the Human Gate emerged, Bai Zhan shouted, “Seal!”

Boom!

The Human Gate anchored heaven and earth, and in an instant, an overwhelming force permeated every direction. The necromantic passage Su Yu had just opened was abruptly cut off!

Su Yu froze. Bai Zhan said coldly, “Su Yu, did you really think you were the only clever one in this world? Did you think I didn’t know you could open the Netherworld?”

Su Yu gasped: “It’s over—I’m dead! Bai Zhan, I surrender! Does what I said earlier still count? I give up—let’s coexist peacefully. You do your thing, I do mine. What do you say?”

“Too late!”

Bai Zhan tore through the air. His Human Gate was indeed formidable. Su Yu tried to open another necromantic passage but truly couldn’t. He gasped again: “Come on, Brother Bai Zhan, let’s talk this out… The myriad realms are vast—if you really fight me, I’ll just keep running. That’s no good!”

Su Yu’s shamelessness shattered Bai Zhan’s expectations!

Maybe Su Yu was right—compared to him, Bai Zhan truly wasn’t as brazen!

One moment he was a beast, the next he was Brother Bai Zhan!

Such a degree of shamelessness—Bai Zhan indeed couldn’t match it.

“Su Yu, go ahead and try—see how long you can run!”

At that moment, a great net suddenly appeared in the sky. Changqing, Changmei, and the other Dao-Integration experts had woven it—a net of rules!

The net descended instantly toward Su Yu!

Changmei and the others unleashed their auras to the limit!

With Bai Zhan pursuing from ahead, these men did not scatter but converged to surround Su Yu, clearly aware of his cunning and wary of being picked off one by one.

“You dare bully me too?”

Su Yu frowned and shouted coldly. The next moment, he slashed upward with his blade!

Changmei and the others wore stern expressions.

Just as they braced to receive the blow, Bai Zhan suddenly yelled, “Left three!”

The group changed color and swiftly shifted the net three degrees to the left. In that instant, Su Yu’s blade aura dissipated, and he himself appeared directly beneath the net’s coverage!

Su Yu was caught in the net and instantly retreated, cursing, “That’s too much! You’re even directing them! Can’t we fight fair? No one-on-one? Bai Zhan, you’ve got no kingly bearing at all!”

Bai Zhan stared at him coldly, closing in fast. At this point, Su Yu still dared to talk about kingly bearing—wasn’t that utterly shameless?

“Rend!”

With a low shout, Bai Zhan punched again. The void suddenly split open, as if cutting space itself!

Su Yu felt instantly severed from the surrounding world and gasped: “What the hell? Aren’t you a physical body cultivator? Now you’re playing with space?”

“When the body is strong enough, everything changes naturally!”

Bai Zhan walked toward him step by step: “I told you—you don’t understand the physical body!”

In that moment, Bai Zhan’s body began to shimmer. Points of light emerged, each blazing with immense power—acupoints.

Su Yu suddenly trembled: “You… you’re not human? No… you have 720 physical acupoints!”

Impossible!

Both humans and myriad races had at most 360 primal acupoints. Bai Zhan had 720!

At Su Yu’s level, he couldn’t have missed hidden physical acupoints!

And the positions of Bai Zhan’s acupoints—Su Yu had seen them—he himself had none there, not even hidden ones!

Bai Zhan said indifferently, “Thus, the Ancestor’s power is beyond your imagination. The humanity you speak of is only the humanity in your eyes. Who says true humanity doesn’t have 720 physical acupoints?”

Su Yu bared his teeth: “Damn, so we’re not even the same race? We look alike, but you’re just wearing human skin—a fake human!”

“You’re wrong—you’re the false human!”

Bai Zhan’s physical acupoints blazed, each acupoint a world. Their radiance spilled across heaven and earth, and from his acupoints stepped out figures—all Bai Zhan.

Bai Zhan said coldly, “They say all races have innate techniques, but humanity has none—you’re wrong again! Your kind doesn’t have them, but that doesn’t mean we don’t! Su Yu, humanity’s innate techniques are far beyond what you can imagine! Don’t think that just because you’ve opened the heavens, you’re omnipotent!”

In an instant, a Bai Zhan appeared—appeared out of nowhere!

He pierced through the void!

And in the distance, Bai Zhan’s true body teleported and swapped places. The phantom Bai Zhan vanished, and the real Bai Zhan appeared, punching at Su Yu!

Su Yu retreated again, only for another Bai Zhan phantom to emerge—this one wielding a sealing technique!

Bai Zhan said calmly, “One acupoint, one martial art; one acupoint, one talent! Su Yu, you truly don’t understand humanity!”

Su Yu grew truly serious this time!

“One acupoint, one battle technique… I’ve heard of that years ago, and I’ve done it myself—one acupoint, one martial art… but it’s not the same as yours!”

“Of course not, because… are you even human?”

Bai Zhan punched and shattered the void. Su Yu instantly turned into a phantom and dissipated on the spot, but at that moment, the Human Gate suppressing heaven and earth suddenly shot out a beam of light!

Boom!

The void was blasted apart!

And on the gate, Su Yu’s form appeared instantly—he had turned into a breeze, lurking nearby. Following the projection’s direction, Bai Zhan punched again!

With a thunderous crash!

Su Yu was knocked out of his breeze state!

Bai Zhan remained cold: “You always thought the physical path was just for brutes and thugs, only fists and feet. You’re not wrong—I do only use fists and feet, and that’s my forte. But that doesn’t mean I can’t do other things—I just can’t be bothered!”

720 acupoints, 720 martial arts, 720 talents, and the Human Gate locking on!

A hundred battles—not mere fleshly cultivation, but the might of a versatile prodigy!

Blood seeped from the corners of Su Yu's mouth, a hint of gravity in his tone: "Damn, you're almost catching up to me! I've only mastered a few thousand talent techniques, and you've already got 720. A hundred battles, you're about to rise!"

Su Yu suddenly grinned: "Let's play—see who's better at this game!"

In an instant, he transformed into flames, a conflagration that scorched the heavens, burning the Star Sea dry, revealing the seabed in a flash!

But a hundred battles sneered, throwing a punch that summoned wind and rain. A torrential downpour descended, quenching the flames outright. Another punch followed, water surging through heaven and earth, slicing through the void!

Su Yu retreated swiftly. The moment he left, the space where he stood shattered, and those water currents felt more dangerous than sharp swords.

Su Yu bared his teeth: "Impressive... Brother Hundred Battles, I concede—how about that?"

"Despicable scoundrel!"

A hundred battles snorted, displeased. Su Yu wasn't weak, but he refused to clash head-on, relying on every trick to keep evading!

"Seal him!"

A hundred battles barked. Above, Long Eyebrow and the others swiftly dropped the net!

It descended toward Su Yu!

That net was formidable!

Woven by two Celestial Venerables, several Heavenly Kings, and over a dozen Dao Harmonizers.

A hundred battles said coldly: "It was meant for the Martial Emperor, but since you insist on sticking your neck out... take it!"

"Such words..."

Su Yu suddenly chuckled darkly. In the next moment, in the eyes of Long Eyebrow and the others, Su Yu transformed into a hundred battles. In an instant, he tangled with the real hundred battles, and then they separated!

Then... Long Eyebrow's group was stunned!

Who was the real hundred battles?

A hundred battles barked: "A cheap trick! The Human Gate, lock on!"

As he spoke, the Human Gate trembled, shooting a beam of golden light at Su Yu!

Pretending to be me?

Ridiculous!

Long Eyebrow's group jolted, hastily spreading the net toward Su Yu. But this Su Yu instantly roared: "Bastard!"

With that, he reached out and tore apart a phantom Human Gate in the void, snarling: "He's Su Yu!"

Meanwhile, the "Hundred Battles" who had just manipulated the Human Gate—well, he was Su Yu—also roared: "Bastard! You dare use an illusion?"

A hundred battles was furious!

His 720 apertures burst into dazzling light, while Su Yu's side also displayed 720 apertures in an instant. If I don't have the real thing, can't I fake it?

What a joke!

Is there anything Hundred Battles knows that I don't?

Now Long Eyebrow and the others were utterly bewildered.

They couldn't see through it!

Truly!

Both were too strong; they simply couldn't tell who was who. Without the Heavenly Gate, the Human Gate, or the Earthly Gate, how could they distinguish truth from falsehood?

Who should they trap?

If they made a mistake and trapped the real one, the fake might seize the chance to strike a heavy blow!

They absolutely couldn't get it wrong!

Su Yu was too cunning, and in that moment of disguise, he had even taken the initiative to stir the Human Gate... Long Eyebrow and the others had no idea who was real anymore!

...

A hundred battles was furious!

He hadn't expected Su Yu to stoop so low as to impersonate him!

The key was... Su Yu's disguise was spot-on!

Because Su Yu had many tricks, immense strength, numerous battle techniques, and mastery over many Daos, his impersonation was nearly flawless.

Of course, a hundred battles still had a way. The next moment, he shouted: "Long Eyebrow, taste a hundred wines in the clouds..."

In the air, Long Eyebrow jolted and quickly called out: "This one's real!"

The group hastily manipulated the net, covering Su Yu!

Su Yu was startled—a code phrase? I don't know that!

In the next instant, he shouted: "Changqing, on the couch we talked late into the night..."

Changqing was baffled—what the hell?

But the others also hesitated—could this be the real one?

They looked at Changqing, whose expression shifted. Then they saw that the Su Yu from a moment ago had vanished, once again tangled with the hundred battles from before!

The group nearly vomited blood from rage!

Damn it!

They were mixed up again!

Now how could they tell?

Holding the net woven from the Dao of rules, they had no idea who to cover. The real hundred battles roared: "Drop it over both! We'll sort it out eventually!"

But Su Yu shouted back: "No! He wants to use my power to break the seal. If we join forces and break it, you'll all be gravely injured!"

That made sense!

So Long Eyebrow and the others hesitated again!

A hundred battles was about to explode with rage!

He hadn't expected Su Yu's tactics to be so shameless!

His brow twitched, and the Human Gate reappeared. On the opposite side, Su Yu's Heavenly Gate manifested, now looking identical to the Human Gate!

Su Yu struck first, shouting: "Reveal yourself!"

On his Heavenly Gate, an image of a hundred battles appeared, but quickly transformed into Su Yu, his own form. Su Yu roared: "Still won't show your true self?"

Idiot!

He was certain that a hundred battles wouldn't have told his subordinates all the functions of the Human Gate. What functions it had—wasn't that up to him to fabricate?

Who would reveal everything to their underlings?

Only a fool!

Especially someone like a hundred battles!

Indeed, Long Mei and the others trembled—this one was real, the one opposite was fake!

And the true Bai Zhan was about to spit blood!

Yes, Su Yu had guessed correctly: Long Mei and his crew had no idea what the Human Gate actually did.

The next moment, Bai Zhan roared in fury: “I am the Flesh Path! His flesh is weaker than mine! Su Yu, come duel me in flesh! If you are Bai Zhan, don’t you want to prove yourself?”

The two were not incapable of defeating Chang Qing and the others—that was impossible.

But they had been locked in a tangled fight, and with this great net added, it was all too easy for one side to fall into a passive position!

Moreover, for Bai Zhan, Chang Qing and the rest were his own people. For his own people to strike at him… that was too treacherous—it would make him vomit blood!

Su Yu cursed inwardly: That’s true enough—my flesh is nowhere near as strong as this bastard’s!

He could mimic or fake some of Bai Zhan’s talent techniques, like the Human Gate, but flesh strength could not be faked. In a real fight, Bai Zhan’s flesh was mighty, and Su Yu was certainly no match.

Still, losing the fight must not lose the face. Su Yu shouted coldly: “Su Yu, you’re asking for death—bluffing!”

With that, he instantly charged at Bai Zhan, and as he did, an illusion emerged.

Everyone saw the true Bai Zhan suddenly struck, his flesh torn apart… while the real Bai Zhan, now enraged, erupted with blood energy and blasted the illusion to pieces!

Su Yu, shameless!

He had actually used illusions to deceive Chang Qing and the others!

At this point, Bai Zhan could no longer hold back. He bellowed: “Fall back! Do not interfere! I will kill him myself!”

The presence of these people was only getting in his way!

Better they just leave!

But Su Yu shouted: “Don’t fall for his trap!”

Above, Chang Qing and the others were nearly going mad!

What were they to do now?

Should they retreat or not?

Bai Zhan, furious as well, roared: “Chang Qing! Six thousand years ago, I told you that when I returned, I would surpass the ancients… Withdraw!”

Chang Qing’s face changed, and he shouted: “Retreat!”

In an instant, the group scattered back!

Seeing this, Su Yu had no choice but to revert to his true form, sighing: “I can’t fake that. How shameless—‘surpass the ancients’? That disgusts me. Sorry, but I could never say something so nauseating!”

“…”

Bai Zhan was somewhat enraged: “Su Yu, is this all you dare to do?”

Su Yu was speechless: “You brought a crowd to ambush me, and you call me a coward? You hypocritical dog, die a dog’s death!”

“…”

Bai Zhan threw a punch, flames burning the sky!

I’ll butcher you first and talk later!

And Su Yu… once again began his escape, fleeing swiftly, wailing: “Stop hitting me! I surrender!”

Bai Zhan pursued, growing more solemn: “What are you really up to? Why have you been stalling for time?”

Su Yu was stalling!

Yes, he was certain now—Su Yu was buying time. This guy was strong. From the way he fought and fled with such ease, he didn’t look like someone about to be beaten to death!

Su Yu was stronger than expected!

Then Su Yu suddenly stopped, his expression grave, and turned his head: “So you finally noticed!”

Bai Zhan was startled, but Su Yu quickly broke into a grin: “Fuck your grandpa, you’re so dumb! You only just figured it out? Damn, I thought you knew from the start! Hah, that cracks me up!”

“Su Yu!”

A furious roar shook heaven and earth!

Bai Zhan realized that this Su Yu could infuriate a man to death without paying a price!

“Hahaha!”

“Gah gah gah, what a fool, Bai Zhan!”

Su Yu laughed wildly, his laughter making the surroundings tremble.
