Chapter 725: This Is What You Asked For
"It's coming!"
Sensing the increasingly powerful strength on Dong Yu, just as Shen Yu saw in his eyes, Dong Yu was bursting forth with everything he had.
It was as if he were burning his life, staking everything on a single throw. He didn't care at all, even at the cost of his body collapsing, his soul dissipating, and his lifespan being greatly reduced.
That desperate posture and that terrifying power caused the space to shake and distort, making even the Mountain and River Map seem to tremble.
When such terrifying power quickly reached its peak and rushed toward Shen Yu, carrying an aura of destruction.
Facing such terrifying power that was impossible to resist, an ordinary person's approach would be to defend or counterattack with all their might, so as to have a glimmer of survival in this storm.
And for Shen Yu, who possessed the Mountain and River Map, the most correct reaction would be to mobilize the power of the entire World to protect himself; he might even be able to pass through unscathed.
But unexpectedly, Shen Yu did the exact opposite; he did not defend, but instead rushed toward Dong Yu opposite him, regardless of everything.
Even though Dong Yu's attack was about to descend, he remained unmoved, as if he had made up his mind to trade one-for-one with Dong Yu.
That posture seemed to be saying: you're risking your life, so I'm risking mine too; who's afraid of whom?
This move could be said to be completely incomprehensible; facing such a terrifying attack, even if you wanted to trade one-for-one, you simply couldn't do it.
I'm afraid that before even getting close, one would have already been torn into pieces by the terrifying attack.
Yet in Shen Yu's eyes, there was only persistence, without a trace of wavering. Dong Yu, on the other hand, revealed a hint of panic in the depths of his eyes.
"This kid isn't a fool, is he? There's no way to risk one's life like this!"
Normally, risking one's life only counts if there's a glimmer of a chance; knowing for certain that one will die and still risking one's life is called throwing it away.
A normal person's choice is to give up and throw their life away only when they cannot see a single hope.
But the situation now isn't right; the advantage is clearly still with this young man, so how could he be so unwise as to risk his life? Are you out of your mind?
Regarding Shen Yu's choice, Dong Yu couldn't figure out why even after scratching his head. He could only attribute it to the other party having a bad brain, being unable to handle stimulation, and becoming stubborn the moment he was provoked.
But because of this, he himself became passive.
The reason he had to pretend to be desperately bursting forth was because he would have a moment of weakness when the power of time began to take effect.
And it was precisely to cover up this moment of weakness that he had to create the illusion of a desperate attack.
By the time the other party realized his attack was just a feint, it would already be too late, and time would have already flowed backward for him.
At that time, all the injuries and all the negative effects on his body would be washed away by the torrent of time.
In just an instant, he would return to his previous perfect state. At that time, he would settle both old and new scores with this little bastard.
Everything was planned perfectly, but he didn't expect that all of this had long since fallen into Shen Yu's eyes; his eyes could see more than ten seconds into the future, and although this time was short, it was enough.
Accompanied by Shen Yu's movements, the wind and clouds in the sky changed color, and the sharp Sword Qi seemed to want to shred the firmament.
The power of the entire Mountain and River Map quickly gathered onto Shen Yu; the power of ten thousand mountains and rivers, and the essence of the sun and moon, all converged here.
At this moment, his momentum had increased several times over compared to before. The violent power seemed to shake the dust, forming black clouds that obscured the sun.
It was as if he were surging forward with a majestic force, and wherever he passed, time and space shook and space distorted.
For a moment, Dong Yu even felt that he was not facing a person, but an entire World, and that an entire World was crushing down on him.
But at this time, he could no longer care about too much; there was no way, the other party's timing was truly too perfect.
It was exactly at his weakest moment that he suddenly delivered such a fatal blow; wasn't this going to be the death of him?
In an instant, Dong Yu quickly changed his Cultivation Method to defend in a hurry; otherwise, taking this hit at his weakest moment would cost him half his life even if it didn't kill him.
If the backlash of the power of time and space were added to that, it might just cause him to capsize completely in one go.
Therefore, he made a change without hesitation; the power of time that had just condensed on his body shattered, and his body turned illusory instead.
Although the power of time was shattered, it did not mean he could not utilize it slightly.
At this time, his body was formless and substanceless; since there was no form, naturally it could not be attacked, and he wanted to avoid it in this way.
Yet he did not expect that in the next moment, that sharp Sword Qi, carrying the power of an entire World, would descend directly and strike him accurately and without error.
It was as if there were some rule within it, making any of his avoidance methods useless.
He had a feeling that no matter where he hid, no matter how he hid, he would be attacked.
"How is this possible!" The violent impact and the terrifying Sword Qi swept through his entire body in the blink of an eye, and the power that had invaded his body erupted once again.
Added to that was the fact that he had forcibly interrupted the reversal of time and space earlier, and all the backlash from that moment erupted at this time.
Under the double blow of internal and external distress, he almost collapsed on the spot, and a mouthful of blood was violently spat out.
How many years had it been? He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had suffered such injuries or been as disheveled as he was today.
And before he could recover from the blow, the next wave of attacks had already arrived; this time the attack was even more violent than the last.
He wanted to resist but discovered that no matter how he dodged or what methods he used, he couldn't dodge or avoid it.
Blow after blow, fast and accurate, gave him no chance to catch his breath at all.
These attacks seemed to have locked onto him; no matter what methods he thought of, it was to no avail, making him unable to help but doubt life. He could only suffer increased trauma while being passively beaten time and time again, nearly collapsing.
"I can't dodge it!" Looking in near despair as the new round of attacks descended, Dong Yu's body was knocked away in a disheveled state, slamming hard into the mountain range behind him.
The mountain range was shattered by the impact, and his body was also like a rag, already riddled with holes.
Although his cultivation power was not as good as his own, the other party's timing was just right.
Once an opportunity was seized, he was unforgiving; the subsequent rounds of non-stop attacks were meant to crush him in the shortest possible time.
He wanted to open his mouth to prevaricate and buy himself a little time, but this young man didn't give him a chance at all.
Even though he looked like he had no threat now, the attacks continued without stopping; this was the rhythm of wanting to send him off in one wave.
This grasp of timing, this decisiveness, and that indomitable momentum—should one really say he is worthy of being a Heavenly Pride?
"Hoo!" Taking a slightly heavy breath, Shen Yu's forehead was also covered in sweat. The Absolute Strike he had obtained would hit one hundred percent within a quarter of an hour.
Therefore, he had to grasp this quarter of an hour and strive to send this old guy off completely within that time.
It was just that the gap in realm and cultivation power between them was quite large, so the damage from his attacks was actually limited. Precisely because the quality could not compare, he could only make up for it with quantity.
If the damage of one attack was limited, then ten or a hundred would do; he didn't believe he couldn't kill him, and if he couldn't kill him, he would wear him to death.
However, even while attacking, Shen Yu was constantly checking for possible changes with his Future Eye while attacking without stopping.
The next moment, Shen Yu's eyes shifted slightly, and his eyes saw something different once again.
These old immortals really have quite a few things tucked away at the bottom of their boxes.
However, using these things tucked away at the bottom of the box ultimately requires paying a price, and isn't this also my opportunity!
You brought this death upon yourself, so you can't blame anyone else!
