Chapter 417: Marquis Wanhuo's Astonishment, Su Yu's Action!

The battle between marquises is also imminent.

However, compared to King-Conferred Strong Ones, the battle between Marquis-level experts is much simpler.

After all, although Marquis-level experts also wield the power of heaven and earth, compared to King-Conferred Strong Ones, the difference is like that between a vast sea and a small stream.

The battles between King-Conferred Strong Ones all take place in the void.

And the battles between Marquis-level experts take place directly near a small hill.. z. br>

When the battle began, neither side exerted their full strength.

They clearly understood that if they caused too many casualties now, it would become troublesome at the critical moment.

After all, the ninefold Imperial Tribulation has not yet arrived, and even the first tribulation of the Slay Dragon King has not descended.

The current battle is undoubtedly just minor skirmishes; the real carnage will not begin until at least the seventh tribulation descends.

However, at a place where no one noticed.

In the forest, Su Yu's figure flickered quickly, approaching the battlefield.

His soul power surged forth, comparable to that of a mid‑Marquis, even late‑Marquis soul power, causing many to fail to notice Su Yu's presence.

Soon, Su Yu found his target.

That was a Marquis from the Bat Tribe, possessing mid‑Marquis cultivation.

Su Yu softly spoke to the jade pendant on his chest.

"Headmaster, it's up to you now!"

At the instant Su Yu's words fell, a surging heavenly and earthly power gushed from the jade pendant, instantly tearing apart the space around him.

Su Yu, without hesitation, stepped into the spatial rift.

At this moment, on the battlefield, the Bat Tribe Marquis targeted by Su Yu was joining forces with a Tiger Tribe Marquis to fight against a Slay Dragon Army Marquis.

This Marquis is Marquis Wanhuo, a Marquis of the First Army.

Marquis Wanhuo's strength is terrifying; he possesses mid‑Marquis cultivation, and with his Slay Dragon Armor, his defensive spiritual artifact is near the peak of a seventh‑grade, approaching an eighth‑grade defensive spiritual artifact.

Even when facing the combined attack of two Marquis‑level experts, he could still handle it with ease.

But as time passed, the combined effort of the two Marquis‑level experts still put Marquis Wanhuo at a disadvantage.

Marquis Wanhuo's face looked grim, and at that moment a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Marquis Wanhuo, find an opportunity to repel the Bat Tribe Marquis; leave the rest to me!"

Upon hearing this voice, Marquis Wanhuo's expression twitched slightly.

This voice was all too familiar.

"Young Marshal?"

Marquis Wanhuo visibly froze for a moment, and the Tiger Tribe Marquis seized the chance, letting out a vicious laugh.

He threw a punch that directly struck Marquis Wanhuo's chest.

Thud!

The powerful force blasted Marquis Wanhuo several kilometers away.

Marquis Wanhuo gritted his teeth.

At this moment, relying on Zhao Tianxing's spatial power, Su Yu, hidden in space, saw the scene and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

But he continued to transmit his voice.

"Marquis Wanhuo, you only need to find an opportunity to drive back that Bat Tribe Marquis, draw away the Tiger Tribe Marquis's attention, and leave the rest to me!"

Marquis Wanhuo heard Su Yu's voice, initially hesitated, but after thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and replied.

"I obey the Young Marshal's command!"

Although they did not know what Su Yu planned, Su Yu, as the Young Marshal, even though his cultivation was only that of a Great Sun Grand Master.

But as a member of the Slay Dragon Army, Marquis Wanhuo still intended to obey military orders.

Marquis Wanhuo let out a low shout.

"Wanhuo Scorches Heaven!"

Rich heavenly and earthly power surged from within Marquis Wanhuo, turning into a sea of fire that instantly swept toward the Tiger Tribe Marquis and the Bat Tribe Marquis.

The surging flames instantly engulfed both of them.

The Tiger Tribe and Bat Tribe Marquises furrowed their brows slightly.

The Tiger Tribe Marquis let out a cold snort.

"Trivial tricks!"

The Tiger Tribe Marquis actually transformed directly into a striped ferocious tiger and charged forward.

He actually shattered the vast sea of fire outright.

Just as he felt a little pleased, he suddenly realized that Marquis Wanhuo's figure was already charging straight at the Bat Tribe Marquis.

At that moment, the Bat Tribe Marquis was trapped in the sea of fire, unable to move.

"Courting death!"

The Tiger Tribe Marquis roared and was about to charge at Marquis Wanhuo.

However, Marquis Wanhuo, seemingly unaware of the Tiger Tribe Marquis, swung his battle blade, which turned into a flame‑wreathed great sword.

In an instant, it slashed across the Bat Tribe Marquis's back.

"Ah!!!"

A tremendous force carved a ferocious gash into his body, the blade cutting straight to the bone.

Flesh and blood blurred.

Moreover, accompanied by that terrifying power, the Bat Tribe Marquis was blasted back several kilometers before barely coming to a stop.

His face twisted ferociously as he stared toward Marquis Wanhuo and let out a sharp cry.

"Wanhuo Marquis, this marquis will make you wish you were dead!"

The Wanhuo Marquis's strike hit; he instantly turned and rushed toward the Tiger Tribe Marquis to fight.

The Bat Tribe Marquis glared at the Wanhuo Marquis with a venomous expression, just about to rejoin the fight.

Suddenly, beside him, space slightly twisted.

Immediately, a scarlet battle sword abruptly appeared before him, so fast that the Bat Tribe Marquis hadn't even reacted.

That scarlet battle sword actually pierced directly into his heart.

Violent blade energy accompanied the sword as it entered his heart.

Instantly erupted.

In just an instant, it instantly annihilated the Bat Tribe Marquis's heart.

Endless life force flowed away.

A spatial force appeared before the Bat Tribe Marquis, forcibly refining his body into a drop of pure essence blood.

Su Yu grasped it without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.

Su Yu now is not the Su Yu of before.

Back then, Su Yu, when he was in the Golden Body Realm, dared to refine the King's essence blood, although relying on his technique and the Heaven Sword King's help.

But he was also able to refine it.

But the current Su Yu actually possesses the realm of an invincible Grand Master.

Refining a drop of early-stage Marquis's essence blood is naturally easy.

In an instant, Su Yu executed the Seventy-Two Transformations, his body instantly changed, taking the form of the Bat Tribe Marquis.

And this all happened within a single breath, instantly completed.

Su Yu walked out of the space, without attracting anyone's attention.

After all, on the battlefield, things change rapidly; no one would pay attention to others' affairs.

In Su Yu's mind, fragments of the Bat Tribe Marquis's memories flashed; the next moment, a glint of sharp light flickered in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth twitched up, he smiled, and directly darted toward the direction where the Wanhuo Marquis was.
