Chapter 222: Teacher Li Is at a Loss!

Su Yu had broken through!

A terrifying aura continuously boiled around him, mixed with horrifying energy, so much so that even the surrounding space could faintly be seen distorting.

Furthermore, centered on Su Yu, the ground beneath his feet cracked ceaselessly, spreading outward like a spider web.

The earth split apart, as though cleansed by heavenly fire.

Su Yu's eyes flickered with a white-jade radiance.

Behind him, the Arhat Golden Body had already reached a size of two to three meters, and upon that Arhat Golden Body, ten lines shimmered with dazzling brilliance!

Ten-Cycle Golden Body, Golden Body Great Perfection!

Su Yu slowly raised his fist and blasted a punch toward the mountain ahead.

An ordinary punch actually shook the entire mountain range, causing the great mountain to sway slightly as boulders tumbled down from its peak.

Crashing heavily onto the ground.

Su Yu's expression showed slight astonishment.

This punch of his had not even carried any energy; relying solely on his physical body's strength, it was unexpectedly this terrifying.

A trace of excitement filled Su Yu's face.

"It truly lives up to being the Arhat Golden Body. A Great Perfection Arhat Golden Body, relying on physical strength alone, is already comparable to some mid-stage Flying Heaven Realm experts. If combined with the power of Spiritual Qi, I'm even confident I could slay a mid-stage Flying Heaven Realm expert!"

Su Yu was incomparably excited.

Four Great Sun Grand Master inner cores, one mid-grade Star Stone, and one Star Ancestor Master inner core had finally raised his cultivation to the Great Perfection realm.

He was only one last step away from the final breakthrough to the Flying Heaven Realm.

"Once I break through to the Flying Heaven Realm, perhaps my combat power could approach the late stage of the Flying Heaven Realm!"

Su Yu excitedly estimated his current combat power.

"Right now, the Ninefold Thunder Demon Slash is only cultivated to the fourth level. If I could cultivate it to the sixth level, perhaps I could directly slay a late-stage Flying Heaven Realm expert in reverse."

Su Yu murmured, the light in his eyes growing ever brighter.

Su Yu sensed the surging energy within his body; that Spiritual Qi, like a Torrent, ceaselessly flowed through every limb and bone of his.

"Soon. Just give me another portion of the same resources, and I'll be able to break straight through to the Flying Heaven Realm!"

Su Yu looked at the Star Origin Fluid inside his Space Ring.

Ten drops of Star Origin Fluid shimmered with a deep blue radiance, gleaming like stars.

"Eh? I wonder if Star Origin Fluid can still be synthesized."

Su Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he placed two drops of Star Origin Fluid into the Synthesis Slot.

"Ding, the host's own level is insufficient; unable to synthesize higher-tier items!"

The synthesis had failed!

Even so, Su Yu's eyes were still full of light.

One must know that Star Origin Fluid was essentially the most top-tier resource in the Myriad Races Continent; even half-emperor experts might not necessarily be able to use Star Origin Fluid for cultivation.

Yet according to what the Synthesis Slot indicated, there might be an even higher-tier resource above Star Origin Fluid.

"There's still half a day's time..."

Su Yu glanced at the sky outside and calculated the time.

"According to Bao Xian'er, Thunder Leopard Marquis is right outside. Once I go out and come into close contact with Thunder Leopard Marquis, I'll inevitably be discovered by him."

"Moreover, Bao Yun and Bao Lei were able to find the Star Ore Vein, so perhaps even the Leopard King is keeping watch. Although I don't know whether the Leopard King is nearby, this is a problem."

Su Yu's expression gradually turned solemn.

Although he had already broken through to Golden Body Great Perfection, placed among all the prodigies of Daxia, his cultivation was still top-tier.

But the moment he stepped out, he would be facing an expert at the Marquis realm.

Such a terrifying expert was absolutely not something Golden Body Great Perfection could contend against.

Not to mention, there might also be the Leopard King's informants here.

After pondering for a few breaths' time, Su Yu gritted his teeth and fixed his gaze on the Star Origin Fluid.

"Even with Teacher Li by my side, Thunder Leopard Marquis is a peak Marquis expert. When the time comes, I'm afraid even Teacher Li might not have any solution."

"I'll risk it! Only by breaking through to the Flying Heaven Realm can I carve out a sliver of survival among the leopard clan!"

Su Yu gritted his teeth, took out a drop of Star Origin Fluid, and without any hesitation, swallowed that drop of Star Origin Fluid directly into his mouth.

In an instant, energy violently exploded within Su Yu's body.

Although the energy of the Star Origin Fluid was abundant, compared to the energy of inner cores or even blood essence, the Star Origin Fluid's energy was much gentler.

Even though the vast energy still caused Su Yu's meridians to swell slightly.

It still remained within the range Su Yu could endure.

The Devouring Demon Heart Method circulated slowly, directing the energy within his body to surge into his Golden Body.

The so-called Flying Heaven Realm was to fuse one's Golden Body with oneself, making oneself the Golden Body.

And in one's dantian, it too would be replaced by the Golden Body.

Similar to the Nascent Soul realm in novels.

And once successful, it would mark the successful step into the Flying Heaven Realm, enabling one to fly through the air.

The strength of the Flying Heaven Realm was also determined by the strength of the Golden Body a Martial Artist forged during the Golden Body Realm.

An expert like Su Yu, who stepped into the Flying Heaven Realm with an Arhat Golden Body, once he entered the Flying Heaven Realm, would absolutely be a top-tier Flying Heaven Realm expert.

Upon entering the Flying Heaven Realm, invincible among the Flying Heaven Realm!

The surging energy ceaselessly stimulated the connection between Su Yu and his Golden Body. Under the circulation of the Devouring Demon Heart Method, the Arhat Golden Body, a full three meters in size, actually began to be compressed without limit.

Fusing into Su Yu's body little by little.

Outside.

Marquis Thunder Leopard slowly opened his eyes, and deep within his gaze, one could faintly see lightning flickering ceaselessly.

Terrifying energy brewed continuously within Marquis Thunder Leopard's body.

Although Marquis Thunder Leopard had not revealed his cultivation, a oppressive aura still permeated the air around him.

And this was the might of being a peak Marquis expert.

It inspired panic.

Marquis Thunder Leopard's gaze fell upon the Altar, his expression cold and severe.

Three days had passed, and Bao Xian'er still had not sent out any news.

If Bao Xian'er were not his own offspring, Marquis Thunder Leopard might even have suspected that she wanted to keep everything for herself.

And now, the lack of news could only mean one thing.

Bao Xian'er had not succeeded!

This made Marquis Thunder Leopard's expression incomparably gloomy.

He looked at Granny Feng beside him and said flatly.

"Tell me everything about the young lady's situation before this!"

Although Marquis Thunder Leopard was filled with fury in his heart, he still wanted to understand what had happened to Bao Xian'er before.

In Marquis Thunder Leopard's view, Bao Xian'er's strength was absolutely top-tier among those in this secret realm; unless Bao Yun and Bao Lei joined forces, no one was Bao Xian'er's match.

Even if she had entered the forbidden zone within the secret realm, Bao Xian'er could still rely on the life-saving measures he had given her to enter and exit at ease.

By all rights, there should not have been any problems at all.

Granny Feng hurriedly told Marquis Thunder Leopard about how Bao Xian'er had chosen to join forces with Su Yu previously.

"My Lord, that Bao Chong is also one who plays the pig to eat the tiger; the manner he displayed three days ago was completely different from the intelligence we had received before!"

Granny Feng said with some concern.

"Could it be that after entering the secret realm, Bao Chong turned against us?"

Marquis Thunder Leopard's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Bao Chong?"

He had also looked into Bao Chong; as the offspring of Marquis Luo, he was still worthy of Marquis Thunder Leopard's attention.

Marquis Thunder Leopard slowly looked toward the direction of Leopard City, his gaze unfathomably deep.

"So you also want to intervene!"

Killing intent flickered in Marquis Thunder Leopard's eyes.

Although they were of the same race, it was still possible for relations within the same race to be less than amicable.

Therefore, upon hearing Granny Feng's words, Marquis Thunder Leopard's first reaction was that Bao Chong had turned against them.

And all of this had been orchestrated by Marquis Luo.

Marquis Thunder Leopard said flatly.

"Once they come out, everything will be known!"

As Marquis Thunder Leopard's words fell, the secret realm Altar suddenly began to tremble.

With a rumble, a portal slowly materialized above the Altar, and pale blue radiance filled the entire valley.

The secret realm!

Was about to open once more!

Rumble—!!

Accompanying the opening of the portal, the entire valley shook ceaselessly, and one after another, cracks spread across the earth.

Even the entire mountain range split open with cracks.

Immediately after, one could see figures emerging from the secret realm one after another.

These were all experts of the Leopard race.

Some were geniuses, others were veteran Golden Body experts.

Their faces were overflowing with smiles.

Clearly, they had reaped abundant harvests from this trip to the secret realm.

Marquis Thunder Leopard watched the portal quietly, waiting for familiar figures to appear.

And in the distance, Li Zhangsheng was likewise watching the portal; but compared to Marquis Thunder Leopard's calmness, Li Zhangsheng's entire body instantly tensed up.

As long as he saw Su Yu come out, he would immediately draw upon his own aura to draw Marquis Thunder Leopard's attack.

That way, Su Yu's chances of survival would be even greater!

Li Zhangsheng took a deep breath and waited.

He did not know how much time had passed, but the silhouettes within the portal grew fewer and fewer.

Even Bao Lie's brow furrowed slightly.

This time, two geniuses from Leopard City had gone in—one was Marquis Luo's offspring, and the other was the Second Protector's offspring; both were top-tier geniuses of Leopard City.

As the Great Protector, he naturally hoped that both of them could come out.

Yet, the portal was on the verge of dissipating, and the two still had not emerged.

Not only those two, but even Bao Lei, Bao Yun, and Bao Xian'er had not appeared either.

Granny Feng had a bad premonition in her heart.

"My Lord, could something have happened to the young lady?"

She looked at Marquis Thunder Leopard with worry.

Marquis Thunder Leopard took a deep breath, suppressed the fury in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

"Wait!"

Although Granny Wind was somewhat unwilling, since Marquis Lei Bao had said so, she couldn't say anything more.

Time passed, and the light on the portal continually dissipated.

It seemed as if it would disappear in the next moment.

At this moment, Marquis Lei Bao's gaze grew dark to the extreme.

Because, even now, Leopard Fairy has yet to appear!

And just then, a figure slowly appeared within the portal.

Instantly, the experts present all turned their gazes toward the portal.

All that could be seen was the figure of Su Yu, transformed into a Leopard Rush, slowly walking out of the portal.

When Bao Lie saw Su Yu, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Good!"

Bao Lie's face showed a smile.

Although he hadn't seen Blaze Leopard, as long as Leopard Rush emerged, he didn't need to explain himself to Marquis Luo's side.

As for Blaze Leopard,

Even the Second Guardian didn't dare provoke Bao Lie.

Seeing Leopard Rush emerge, Marquis Lei Bao's face darkened, and he fixed his stare on Leopard Rush.

Marquis Lei Bao's brows were tightly knit.

He didn't know why, but looking at the Leopard Rush before him, he always felt something was off, yet he couldn't put his finger on it.

As Su Yu emerged, the portal instantly dissipated.

Su Yu let out a sigh of relief, looked up, and his gaze sank.

Sure enough, Marquis Lei Bao was nearby.

However, Su Yu also had confidence.

At the moment the secret realm's passage was about to dissipate, Su Yu successfully broke through to the early stage of the Flying Heaven Realm by relying on the Stellar Primordial Liquid.

Combined with the ability of the Seventy-Two Transformations, even a Marquis-level Expert could not discern Su Yu's true form.

Even though Marquis Lei Bao was so close to Su Yu, he still didn't realize that the Leopard Rush before him was Su Yu in disguise.

As Su Yu emerged, the aura around Marquis Lei Bao instantly became agitated.

He had just wanted to speak when he heard a sword whistle from afar.

"Hahaha, Marquis Lei Bao, behold my Li Zhangsheng's sword!"

Marquis Lei Bao abruptly turned his gaze to where Li Zhangsheng had been.

All that could be seen was Li Zhangsheng holding a long sword mottled with rust, taking a big swig from his wine gourd, and lightly swinging the sword in his hand.

Between heaven and earth, sword qi crisscrossed.

Thick and dense, like threads, it spread throughout the surrounding heaven and earth.

Immediately after, a sharp sword qi, as if tearing apart heaven and earth, surged forth from the rusted sword.

Lotus blossoms bloomed between heaven and earth.

Like pure water hibiscus, they were extraordinarily vivid.

Marquis Lei Bao's eyes sank, and he let out an angry shout.

"Human Race Grand Master, how dare you act wantonly in my Leopard Clan's territory!"

Li Zhangsheng's appearance clearly caught the Leopard Clan off guard.

Instantly, it drew everyone's attention to Li Zhangsheng.

Bao Lie moreover instantly appeared beside Su Yu, his majestic energy shielding Su Yu.

Granny Wind likewise showed killing intent.

"Human race, dare to act so wantonly in my Leopard Clan — you're asking for death!"

Granny Wind spoke hoarsely, and the cultivation of a Great Sun Grand Master erupted, like a great sun's energy, instantly surging forth.

Boom—!!!

The sword qi swept in, mingled with streaks of terrifying might, instantly closing in on Granny Wind.

Granny Wind's face changed drastically; although she too was a Great Sun Grand Master, within that sword qi she actually felt a strand of power sufficient to threaten her life.

It seemed as if, under that sword qi, her life was like a small boat in a vast sea, liable to capsize at any moment.

Buzz—!!!

Lotus blossoms bloomed around Granny Wind, the lotus blossoms opening, their stamens swaying.

Threads of sword qi spewed forth from the lotus blossoms.

At an extremely terrifying speed, they instantly landed on Granny Wind.

Granny Wind hadn't even reacted before, under that terrifying sword qi, her fleshly body instantly exploded.

She didn't even manage to cry out for help before she perished!

Marquis Lei Bao's eyes sank, and he fixed his gaze on the distant Li Zhangsheng.

Marquis Lei Bao clenched his teeth bitterly, as if forcing the words out from between his teeth.

"Invincible Grand Master! No wonder you dare to barge into my Leopard Clan's territory!"

"You're asking for death!"

Marquis Lei Bao roared, thunder rolling around him, and he surged toward Li Zhangsheng.

At this point, he could no longer concern himself with the truth of the secret realm.

The appearance of the Human Race in the Leopard Clan was, to Marquis Lei Bao, an extremely strange matter; perhaps within it lay a human conspiracy.

Although the Leopard Clan is a second-rate tribe among the myriad races, it also has a King-level Marquis seated in command.

However, for the Human Race, without the support of the Three Races, the Leopard Race still retains a sense of wariness.

After all, among the Human Race, there are far too many experts capable of destroying the Leopard Race.

An invincible Grand Master has appeared here; who knows if any other Human Race experts have shown up near the Leopard Race.

Compared to the affairs of the entire Leopard Race, Thunder Leopard Marquis's own matters seem trivial.

He madly rushed toward Li Zhangsheng to kill him.

He now only wants to completely exterminate Li Zhangsheng and shatter the Human Race's conspiracy.

After Li Zhangsheng killed Granny Wind with a single sword, he laughed loudly.

"The Leopard Race Grand Master is nothing more than this!"

"Hahaha, Human Race Li Zhangsheng has made a cameo here, farewell!"

Li Zhangsheng laughed loudly, turned into a strand of sword Qi, and instantly fled into the distance.

Although Li Zhangsheng's combat power is strong, comparable to a Marquis, with Thunder Leopard Marquis pursuing him, he dare not linger and instantly departs.

Li Zhangsheng sighed slightly in his heart.

"Little brat, I've done all I can; whether you survive depends on your own abilities!"

Li Zhangsheng also felt helpless; there was nothing he could do because Su Yu's affairs were too great, and even as a Great Sun Grand Master he couldn't settle them.

If Li Zhangsheng were to break through to Marquis, perhaps he could forcibly rescue Su Yu, but now he does not have this ability!

So, he could only resort to this inferior plan.

Meanwhile, in the valley, Su Yu watched Li Zhangsheng's movements and went numb.

"Teacher Li... what are you doing?!"

Su Yu scratched his head.

Having broken through to the Flying Heaven Realm, unless the Leopard King arrives in person, no one can see through him.

Moreover, Bao Chong, as a descendant of Marquis Luo, even if Thunder Leopard Marquis knows that the Stellar Primordial Liquid was taken by himself, what could he do?

Moreover, this place is near Leopard City; if Thunder Leopard Marquis wants to act, he at least needs to ask Marquis Luo whether he agrees.

Don't look at Marquis Luo being in seclusion; as soon as Thunder Leopard Marquis dares to act, Marquis Luo will dare to come out.

Moreover, this kind of Stellar Primordial Liquid, among the top experts of the Leopard Race, is something they turn a blind eye to; once it blows up, the Leopard King will intervene.

No one can obtain it.

Su Yu was also somewhat speechless.

Li Zhangsheng is practically just looking for trouble for himself!

Nevertheless, Su Yu's heart still warmed; facing the peak-Marquis Thunder Leopard Marquis, Li Zhangsheng being able to do this is indeed not easy.

At that moment, Bao Lie beside him said to Su Yu.

"Young City Lord, please hurry back to Leopard City; if Human Race experts appear in Leopard Race territory, there may be a great conspiracy, and only by entering the city is it safest."

Su Yu's mouth corner twitched slightly.

Good fellow, now it's troublesome.

I just wanted to leave, but now that Li Zhangsheng has done this, I probably won't be able to get out for a while.

Su Yu inwardly cried out in helplessness.

"Teacher Li is clueless!"

Facing Bao Lie, who had reached the Great Sun Grand Master realm, although Su Yu was unwilling in many ways, he could only return to Leopard City under the protection of several Grand Masters.
