Chapter 139: The Birth of Xue Di

Just as Su Yu returned to the corridor, he ran head-on into a dark shadow.

"Who?" the other party growled, a tyrannical purple light blooming instantly, and a terrifying pressure spread out; with the help of Yi Lao, this pressure was instantly neutralized.

Two yellow, two purple, and four black—eight optimal-ratio Soul Rings appeared on the other party's body; he was clearly a powerhouse at the Soul Douluo level. He had a pair of exceptionally thick arms, and at this moment, both arms had transformed into the shape of large pincers.

"Presumptuous, you bastard, are you actually trying to make a move on me?" A low and aged roar came from Su Yu's mouth. Su Yu knew that the more critical the moment, the less he could panic; given Du Busi's arrogant temperament, his subordinate would naturally be scolded by him.

Su Yu did not pull off the disguise on his face; relying on his current aura and voice was enough. After all, who would guess that the Sect Master disguised before them would dare to curse at them?

Seeing the aged face created by the Simulation, the other party paused for a moment, then respectfully knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Sect Master."

Listening to the other party's respectful tone, Su Yu's heart was also pounding wildly. The person before him was no ordinary Soul Douluo; this was one of those freaks from the Body Sect!

Under Yi Lao's control, Su Yu steadied his mind and said, "The task I entrusted to you, have you succeeded?"

"Yes, I have succeeded." The Soul Douluo's emotions were clearly somewhat agitated; he felt around his body with his right hand, then held something up with both hands and presented it before Su Yu.

Good fellow, I bluffed you and you actually believed it. If you knew I was a fake and still cursed you as a bastard so arrogantly, you'd probably be so angry you'd die...

But Su Yu was also puzzled: how did Huo Yu Hao know they were coming to snatch the item, and why was his first sentence "have you succeeded?"

It must be said, the secret behind this is truly mind-boggling.

The item the Soul Douluo handed over was a white tray, and on the tray was a wooden stand inlaid with at least a hundred gems of various colors.

On this small wooden stand, a mass of pure white airflow was fluctuating slightly.

Xue Di, this is Xue Di!

The last time he saw this item was at the top-tier auction of the Starlight Auction House. If he hadn't been truly afraid to buy it at the time, Su Yu would have obtained Xue Di long ago. The reason he didn't buy it was that as long as he bought it, the Su Family would face the outcome of being besieged and annihilated.

This thing is a hot potato; whoever dares to take it is taking on a huge amount of trouble, and furthermore, this was a grand conspiracy laid out by the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yu suppressed the wild joy in his heart; victory was right before his eyes, and he could not afford any slip-ups.

Without the slightest hesitation, he snatched the Sealing God Platform and said, "Task completed well, go!"

Su Yu did not make the mistake Huo Yu Hao made in his haste, using his low-level Spirit Guidance Storage Device to hold the Level 9 Sealing God Platform; instead, he directly stored it into his family's heirloom Starlight Sapphire Storage Ring.

It was precisely this action that prevented the Soul Douluo opposite him from becoming suspicious; after all, how many storage rings in this world could hold a Level 9 Soul Guidance Device?

Just at this moment, there was another earth-shaking roar outside. It seemed Du Busi and Jing Hongchen had already started fighting, and Su Yu did not idle, leaving the place directly.

"Sect Master, where are we going now?" the man in black continued to ask.

After putting away the Sealing God Platform, Su Yu replied, "You are responsible for continuing to hold off the reinforcements from Mingde Hall; I am going to personally hold off Jing Hongchen now."

The man in black's eyes began to flicker uncertainly, and then he said, "I can feel the combat aura of the Sect Master outside. You are not the Sect Master! Give the item back to me, who exactly are you?"

Damn it, I forgot about that!

The combat aura and fluctuations of Du Busi could not be masked; even with Su Yu and Yi Lao's current state, they couldn't do it!

This Body Sect Soul Douluo was instantly enraged, and a pair of large hands hammered toward Su Yu without any courtesy; that terrifying explosive power completely exceeded Su Yu's expectations.

Su Yu knew he couldn't dodge it now, so he directly raised the Sealing God Platform, blocked it in front of him, and said, "Since I've been exposed, I have nothing left to act out; at worst, I'll perish together with the Sealing God Platform!"

At the critical moment, Su Yu grasped the other party's weakness; as long as the other party still cared about the Sealing God Platform, it was absolutely impossible for them to destroy it just to kill him!

For any Soul Master, a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and soul bone are absolute treasures. This Soul Douluo from the Body Sect never expected that Su Yu would actually use the Sealing God Platform to block his attack!

This crazy move scared the Body Sect Soul Douluo half to death. This item was wanted by the Sect Master, and he had been specifically arranged to obtain it; if it were destroyed in his hands, he feared his own life would be forfeit!

What's more, in the hands of the guy opposite him was not only the Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast Embryo, but also a hundred million in prize money, and this Soul Beast Embryo itself and the Level 9 Soul Guidance Device that carried it, the Sealing God Platform!

These items were all extremely precious treasures, yet this bastard opposite him was actually using this thing to block his attack!

How could such a crazy move not make him anxious? Not make him furious?

For this plan, the Body Sect could be said to have taken great pains; the preliminary preparations alone took nearly two years. They had naturally researched the Level 9 Soul Guidance Device, the Sealing God Platform.

Inside the Sealing God Platform, one could seal any living organism, but it could only be done if the target had no ability to struggle before the sealing. Once sealed inside, even a Title Douluo-level powerhouse would not be able to get out. It was generally used to seal powerful Soul Beasts that had lost their combat ability, and it was rarely used on human Soul Masters.

But the Sealing God Platform was not without problems; its principle was to maintain the seal by absorbing the soul power of the sealed entity itself. Therefore, it was very powerful internally, but its external defense was very weak. A certain degree of attack could cause this Level 9 Soul Guidance Device to shatter. Thus, the Sealing God Platform also had the nickname of "soft on the outside, hard on the inside."

If it were really destroyed by this brat, his life would be at an end...

Su Yu was very clear about the current situation; he wouldn't think of going head-to-head with the other party. No matter how strong he was as a Soul Ancestor, he could at most fight a Soul Emperor or a weaker Soul Saint. But the person opposite him was no ordinary Soul Saint; he was a Soul Douluo!

He really didn't know where Huo Yu Hao found the courage to fight this guy back then; not being smashed to death by a single punch was truly a stroke of luck!

Even relying on Red Dust Protection, given the huge difference in cultivation realms, it was impossible to block the other party's attack. The only chips he had to survive now were the Sealing God Platform and the Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast Embryo in his hands!

Even if he smashed this Sealing God Platform, Su Yu would lose something, but since he intended to obtain Xue Di, he had made full preparations.

This Body Sect Soul Douluo, chosen to execute the key mission, was indeed astonishing in strength and very steady in his control over his own power. After exhausting his efforts to retract his fist, he began to stand off against Su Yu.

"Hand the item to me, and I can spare your life."

As he spoke, the Body Sect Soul Douluo wanted to negotiate with Su Yu, but Su Yu knew that this item could not be handed over even if he died; once handed over, his life would be at an end.

"Step back! If you dare to take another step forward, I will destroy this Sealing God Platform right now! Put away your thoughts; don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Su Yu did not hold back, still using Du Busi's voice to speak. The situation was very clear: once he handed over the Sealing God Platform, all that would remain was for him to be beaten into a pulp by the other party's fist.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll step back..."

Suppressing his rage, the Soul Douluo clenched his fists and began to slowly step back. Su Yu also circled around and returned to the corridor. Now there was only one thing he could do: after leaving, smash the Sealing God Platform!

Only in this way could he escape from the hands of Du Busi, Jing Hongchen, and this Soul Douluo, and only in this way could he take Xue Di away without anyone knowing. Otherwise, he would most likely die in the aftermath of the battle between Du Busi and Jing Hongchen, let alone be able to subdue Xue Di to become his Soul Spirit.

Just as Su Yu retreated to where he had come from, the Soul Douluo behind him suddenly erupted. The moment Su Yu turned around, a pair of large hands slammed directly toward Su Yu's head.

"Damn it, you bastard, you actually dared to ambush me!"

Su Yu didn't say a word and directly activated the Ice Emperor's Bodyguard, then fiercely smashed the Sealing God Platform in his hand toward the other party.

Seeing this, the Body Sect Soul Douluo's expression changed drastically. Oh no, oh no, the Sealing God Platform is going to be destroyed in my hands!

Amidst the terrified expression of the Body Sect Soul Douluo, the Sealing God Platform emitted a heart-wrenching cracking sound.

"Crack..."

The Sealing God Platform smashed fiercely onto the clenched right fist of the Body Sect Soul Douluo. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of shattering, a clear crack appeared on the originally dazzling and eye-catching Level 9 Soul Guidance Device.

Following the appearance of the first crack, a large number of cracks also continued to spread.

"Bastard! You're courting death!" the Body Sect Soul Douluo roared, and backhanded, he reached out toward the shattered Sealing God Platform.

However, at this very instant, the temperature within the entire corridor suddenly plummeted at an astonishing speed. A wisp of white airflow, resembling smoke and clouds, quietly drilled out along the cracks of the Sealing God Platform.

Seeing this scene, Su Yu completely disregarded the loss of soul power and fully activated the three great soul skills bestowed upon the fellow by the Ice Empress: Ice Empress's Pincer, Ice Emperor's Bodyguard, and Eternal Frozen Domain.

He even activated Red Dust Protection!

He dared not gamble, because Huo Yu Hao truly possessed the power of the Ice Empress, while his own were merely copied soul skills; he dared not count on being able to withstand the power of Xue Di's Extreme Ice relying on these copied soul skills!

A cold, feminine voice filled with endless fury spoke, "Despicable humans, go die, all of you go die."

The next instant, whether it was Su Yu or that Spirit Douluo-level powerhouse from the Body Sect, both felt as if everything before their eyes had turned into a vast expanse of white. In a short moment, both were submerged within the ice mist.

Su Yu could not see the appearance of the Body Sect Spirit Douluo, but he could feel that his Red Dust Protection was currently being slowly disintegrated!

Before long, the Red Dust Protection he had released began to appear sluggish at this moment; the soul power circulating within it seemed as if it had been frozen, and the next moment, the protective barrier generated by the Red Dust Protection slowly shattered, while terrifying chill surged in from all directions, beginning to constantly erode the Red Dust Protection.

Before long, the terrifying cold current instantly swept his body within it.

Thinking back, even Huo Yu Hao, who possessed the Extreme Ice martial soul, felt as if his soul were about to be frozen; now, Su Yu, who had activated the Ice Empress's three great soul skills, was no better off, and could only rely on his powerful Life Force to endure it. Anyway, as long as his head was not destroyed, Su Yu could still regenerate via his head.

This was the powerful aspect of Life Gold; as long as his head remained, even if his clone carried his head away and his corpse was left here, he could still live!

As long as this old man's head is still here, help me up, I can still show off!

When he opened his eyes again, he was immediately shocked by everything presented before him.

The entire corridor had become narrower than before, because there was at least an extra layer of Ice Crystal about a foot thick inside the corridor. The Body Sect Spirit Douluo, whom he had been completely unable to resist before, had now turned into an ice sculpture, standing not far in front of him, motionless. The Sealing God Platform had fallen to the ground and was also frozen.

As for his own body, because he had the Ice Emperor's Bodyguard and Eternal Frozen Domain, as well as the Ice Empress's Pincer and his own powerful Life Force, he had managed to survive by sheer force.

However, that Body Sect Spirit Douluo was not so lucky; in the face of Extreme Ice, if he had no way to cope, he could only be frozen into an ice sculpture. Although he was frozen into an ice sculpture, Su Yu could still sense the other party's signs of life.

The corridor had now become pitch black, and the Soul Guidance Devices originally used for lighting had all lost their function. The Soul Guidance Devices on Su Yu's body were also basically destroyed completely; fortunately, the Red Dust Protection was a Level 9 Soul Guidance Device and was not damaged, and fortunately, it was a Level 9 Soul Guidance Device, which could save his life.

Looking at the frozen Spirit Douluo opposite, Su Yu had no choice; since his tracks were exposed, he could only kill to silence him.

Su Yu said nothing more, directly took out the Blade of Judgment, and stabbed it into the other party's heart. Now, the method to kill the other party and utilize the greatest efficiency was to plunder the other party's Life Force.

Picking up the shattered Sealing God Platform on the ground, Su Yu knew that this thing had great research value; after all, it could even seal Xue Di, so he figured that in the future, as long as he could trap an opponent, even a Limit Douluo would likely not be able to get out!

Such a good thing must not slip through his hands. After cleaning up, he did not forget to destroy the corpse of this unlucky Body Sect Spirit Douluo; after all, such matters must leave no traces.

When Su Yu returned to the original spot under the table, the outside had long since become a battlefield for a three-way war.
