Chapter 615: Arm Awakens!

Wang Peng's face bore the expression of a profiteer.

Su Yu glanced lightly at Wang Peng, as if in thought.

Then, he nodded.

"All right!"

Having received Su Yu's nod, Wang Peng suddenly burst into cheers.

"Heh heh, after all, you're just a newly promoted Blade Wielder, never having come to the Core Area; in this region I've held down the fort for a full eighteen years, and aside from the last Spirit God Tide, no Green Kui has ever come here."

"Not even a passerby has come through; there's basically no danger. As long as this little guy goes back and tells the Second Hall Master, I can return!"

Wang Peng even became somewhat excited.

You see, because of his sharp tongue, he offended the Second Hall Master and should have been stationed here for fifty years.

But eighteen years have passed, and Wang Peng himself is a talkative type.

For eighteen years there was nothing to do; even cultivating here was extremely difficult, enough to suffocate Wang Peng.

Now, seeing Su Yu, Wang Peng felt as if he had seen hope.

Only then did this plan come about.

"Little guy, kill without worry; I'll protect the Dao ahead for you!"

Wang Peng struck a pose of righteous solemnity.

He slowly entered the Core Area, sat cross-legged in the void, and the previous profiteer expression completely vanished.

In its place came a solemn expression.

One must say, his speed of changing faces could win an Oscar for Best Actor.

A faint energy welled up from Wang Peng's body, as if turning into a brush that drew a horizontal line before him.

"Beyond this line, as your Dharma Protector, I guarantee your safety!"

Wang Peng's deep voice sounded.

Su Yu glanced at Wang Peng's back, lost in thought.

"A Dharma Protector–level figure should be able to fend off a few Green Kui, right!"

Saying this, Su Yu took out a purple stone from his bosom.

Upon it floated a faint Spirit God aura.

"Hmm?"

Wang Peng's body paused slightly, as if sensing something, and out of the corner of his eye he couldn't help glancing toward Su Yu.

When he saw the purple stone in Su Yu's hand, his pupils constricted slightly.

His complexion also turned somewhat stiff.

"This guy... actually brought the Purple Kui's energy core; just how many Purple Kui will this attract!"

Wang Peng's mouth corner twitched slightly.

This purple stone was none other than the energy core Su Yu obtained by slaying a Red Kui in the Central Area.

These energy cores are useless to humans; moreover, without the protection of a Holy Blade, they corrode a person, transforming him via Spirit God aura into a Kui.

But for the Kui of the Abyssal Passage, they are practically a tonic.

Kui have low intelligence; they act on near‑beast instinct, and once they smell this scent they swarm forth.

This also counts as a method of attracting Kui.

"But it's fine; it's just a single Purple Kui energy core—Green Kui wouldn't even glance at it!"

Wang Peng's mouth corner curved up again.

Soon, purple‑shaped figures emerged from the Core Area, sniffed, and caught the scent of the energy core.

Their eyes flashed scarlet, as if they'd seen a great tonic, and they surged forward madly.

Wang Peng's figure flickered, as if vanishing into thin air, leaving no trace for those Purple Kui to detect.

Su Yu also hid behind a huge rock, waiting quietly; when a few Purple Kui approached the vicinity of the purple energy core,

Su Yu suddenly drew his Ancient God Blade.

The Ancient God Blade burst forth with snowy blade qi, like a white flash suddenly appearing in darkness.

He struck in an instant.

"Shatter Star!"

Blade‑qi stars surged instantly.

In the blink of an eye, those few Purple Kui were completely slain.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this, Wang Peng, hidden in the void, couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air.

"After all, he's still the Second Hall Master's junior disciple—his combat power is terrifying; though these Purple Kui aren't especially strong, one of them had mid‑Venerable Realm strength, yet he was killed instantly."

Even though Wang Peng himself is an Imperial Realm powerhouse, watching Su Yu strike so decisively—and even easily slaying several Purple Kui—left him somewhat shaken.

"This guy, no wonder he could slaughter all the Purple Kui in the Central Area."

"Compared to that little madman, he's far stronger!"

Wang Peng murmured.

"What does this guy intend to do?"

Wang Peng stared blankly at Su Yu.

Su Yu stepped out from behind the rock, removed the energy cores of those several Purple Kui, and quietly placed them back in their original spots.

They exuded a rich Spirit God aura.

Seeing this, Wang Peng's mouth corner twitched slightly.

「This guy... so many Purple Chief cores... If the quantity increases a bit more, maybe it could really attract some Azure Chiefs' attention! 」

Wang Peng suddenly felt a toothache.

Obviously it was a good job, but I don't know why, accompanying Su Yu's series of operations.

Even a good job is turning into a bad job.

「No way, no way, after so many years, the Azure Chief hasn't noticed this place; that Azure Chief would come to the edge to take a look if nothing was wrong! 」

Wang Peng muttered, as if cheering himself up.

Just like that, with the passage of time.

More and more Purple Chiefs died at Su Yu's hands.

Later, Su Yu even became somewhat exhausted, but Su Yu merely put away those Purple Chief cores, after a simple rest.

Again, he laid out those densely packed Purple Chief cores.

It seemed that unless he killed off the Purple Chiefs in the God Spirit Abyss, Su Yu wouldn't go out.

Looking at the ground where over a hundred Purple Chief cores lay, Wang Peng's heart suddenly panicked.

God Spirit Abyss Core Region

A pale arm hovered silently in midair.

Countless black currents drifted from that pale arm, then gathered into a black mist.

And within the black mist, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly emerged.

「Strange, why do I feel the number of Purple Chiefs is sharply decreasing? 」

The black mist seemed somewhat puzzled.

「Could it be that the Blade-wielding Hall is once again going to cleanse the abyss passage? 」

「No, according to what they, the Human Race, say, the God-Hunting War is about to start again; they probably have no time now.... 」

The black mist fell into contemplation.

The next moment, the black mist let out a sharp screech.

A blue-green figure appeared beside the black mist.

Indeed, it was an Azure Chief.

The Azure Chief gazed at the black mist with a fervent expression.

The black mist spoke lightly.

「Go check the edge; the number of Purple Chiefs there has decreased significantly! 」
