39: Chapter 39 Star Demon Cult Plan

"Run!"

Xiao Bai didn't even think; it bit onto Su Yu's clothes and turned to run.

A Martial Emperor fighting a Martial Saint? That's suicide!

"Do you think you can escape?"

The monster let out a sharp screech, and the dozen tentacles behind it instantly surged a hundred meters, descending like a net covering the sky, sealing off all avenues of retreat.

"It's over!"

Looking at the tentacles that blotted out the sky, a sense of despair rose in Su Yu's heart.

Was he really going to die here just after arriving in the capital, before even entering the school gates?

At the critical moment when those slime-covered tentacles were about to crush the human and the beast into pulp.

Time seemed to freeze.

Hum—

An indescribably magnificent pressure descended upon this abandoned area without any warning.

The surrounding space instantly solidified.

Those wildly dancing tentacles, as if hit by a pause button, stiffly stopped in mid-air, less than ten centimeters from the tip of Su Yu's nose.

"Who?!"

The monster rolled its eyes in terror; it discovered that it couldn't even move a single finger!

The Devilish Qi within its body was suppressed so tightly, as if it had encountered a natural predator!

A figure appeared silently before Su Yu and Xiao Bai.

He wore simple casual clothes, his hands in his pockets, his expression indifferent.

Yet, standing there, it was as if he held up the entire sky.

"Dad?!"

"Boss! You're finally here!!"

Xiao Bai also shrank back to the size of a fur ball, swishing into Su Wu's arms and shivering.

Su Wu gently patted his son's shoulder, then turned around, his gaze icy as he looked at the ugly monster.

"Star Demon Cult?"

Su Wu's voice betrayed no emotion, but the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing.

"In broad daylight, intercepting and killing new students on the territory of Beijing Martial Arts University. You have quite a lot of nerve."

"Star Lord?! How is that possible!"

The monster let out an incoherent roar; it felt a destructive threat from Su Wu.

Su Wu did not answer.

He only slowly raised his right hand and gripped the air toward the monster.

"Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Art · One Yuan Heavy Water · Water Prison!"

Swish—

The water molecules in the air instantly gathered, forming a giant, deep blue hand made of flowing water.

This giant hand was crystal clear, yet heavy as a thousand jun.

It firmly grasped the Martial Saint Realm devil-man in its palm!

"Ahhh!!"

The monster let out a shrill scream.

Its incredibly tough tentacles snapped inch by inch under the pressure of the water flow, and the dark green blood was purified and evaporated the moment it flowed out.

"Speak, who sent you? How many more accomplices are there?"

Su Wu's eyes were like knives.

The monster's bones were crushed, but a crazed and twisted smile appeared on its face.

"Hehe... so what if you kill me? The Holy Cult's plan... has already begun... not just him... everyone... must die!!"

After saying this, its body suddenly swelled violently, and a black core inside its body began to emit a blinding red light.

"Want to self-destruct?"

Su Wu snorted coldly.

If it were the previous Martial Saint Realm, facing the self-destruction of a devil-man of the same rank might have required retreating three steps.

But now, he was a Star Lord!

"In front of me, you don't even have the qualification to die."

Su Wu clenched his palm suddenly.

Pfft!

An extremely muffled sound.

The self-destruction energy, which was enough to raze half a residential district, was actually forcibly compressed by Su Wu within that square inch of his palm!

The terrifying explosion occurred inside the water prison, yet not a single drop of water splashed out.

That arrogant Martial Saint-Grade devil-man thus turned into a pool of dark green pulp.

Plop.

Su Wu casually dispersed the water prison, and a black crystal fell to the ground.

That was the devil-man's core, and its only remains.

"Dad..."

Su Yu stepped forward, looking at the crystal on the ground, still feeling lingering fear, "What exactly is this..."

Half an hour later.

Imperial Capital Martial Arts University, Admissions Office Director's Office.

"What?! Star Demon Cult?!"

Admissions Director Lei Zhen looked at the black crystal Su Wu threw on the table, along with the sample of the foul-smelling liquid that hadn't dried yet; he stood up abruptly, as if struck by lightning.

"This... this is a high-level devilized crystal core! Only a Martial Saint-Grade devil-man can produce it!"

Lei Zhen's hands were trembling.

He could never have imagined that in this Yanjing Base, known as the safest place in the entire Federation, right under the nose of Beijing Martial Arts University, a Martial Saint-Grade devil-man had infiltrated and attempted to intercept and kill their students!

If not for Su Wu's secret protection, Su Yu, this peerless Genius, would have really fallen here today!

"Mr. Su, please wait! This matter is too big; I need to report it immediately!"

Lei Zhen couldn't care about etiquette and grabbed the phone.

Yanjing Base, some unknown location.

This was an extremely luxurious yet dim room.

The walls were hung with eerie starry sky totems, and the air was filled with faint incense.

A man wearing a dark red velvet suit was lazily leaning back in a large high-backed chair.

His appearance was extremely demonic, his eyes presenting rare vertical pupils, and he was gently swirling a cup of liquid as scarlet as blood in his hand.

Star Demon Cult Earth Branch High Priest — Ye Xiao.

"My Lord."

In the shadows, a figure in a black robe knelt on one knee, their voice respectful, "Report on the first phase of the 'Elimination Plan': 109 targets, 73 confirmed eliminated, 15 severely injured. The mission... is basically complete."

"Oh? 73, is it..."

Ye Xiao took a sip of the liquid in the cup, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

"The blood of these Geniuses really does taste the most delicious. It's a pity a few escaped."

"It is this subordinate's incompetence." The black-robed person lowered their head, "Among them, the devil-man codenamed 'Hunting Blade' went to intercept target number 100, but lost contact, and its soul lamp extinguished. The last bit of energy fluctuation transmitted from the scene indicates... a Star Lord Realm powerhouse likely appeared there."

"Star Lord Realm?!"

Ye Xiao's hand swirling the wine glass paused slightly, a flash of surprise appearing in his narrow, long eyes.

"A bit interesting. It seems that among this year's new students, someone has quite a background. To actually have a Star Lord Realm powerhouse as a bodyguard?"

But he didn't show much fear; instead, the smile at the corners of his mouth grew thicker.

"No matter."

"Just one Star Lord, it cannot change the overall situation."

Ye Xiao stood up, walked to the huge starry sky totem, and spread his arms, as if to embrace the entire Universe.

"The general trend is already set. The fall of these 73 Geniuses is just the beginning."

"The seeds of fear have been sown. Very soon, this planet, and even the entire Solar System, will become the pasture for my Holy Cult!!"

"Pass down the order, initiate the second phase."

In the dim room, Ye Xiao's crazed and elegant laughter echoed, like a demon's whisper, foreshadowing a greater storm about to be unleashed on Yanjing Base.
