156: Chapter 156 Luckily he's human!

Deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The thick miasma that shrouded the area year-round had been forcibly cleaved open by a Formless edge, sharp to the extreme, creating a massive thoroughfare hundreds of meters wide.

Su Yu walked at the very front.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow.

Around his body, layers of transparent ripples constantly radiated outwards.

That was the Qi Resonance Spear Intent resonating with the Laws of heaven and earth.

There were no flashy movements.

Any Abyss monsters that appeared in his line of sight, attempting to block his path to the Abyss to "go shopping," whether they were War-General Level, Commander Level, or the occasional Devil King, were met with the same fate.

As long as they touched that layer of transparent ripples—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before they could even let out a scream, their bodies were instantly reduced to bursts of bloody mist under the grinding force of the Law.

Leaving behind only glowing Devil Cores that clattered onto the ground.

Behind him.

Battalion Commander Lin Xiao of the Pojun Battalion, leading a group of fully armed elite soldiers, followed closely behind.

This elite ace troop of the Great Xia Kingdom had completely devolved into porters.

"Battalion Commander, this... this is already the five hundred and thirty-sixth Advanced Devil Core..."

An adjutant bent down to pick up a still-warm Devil King-level Devil Core, his voice trembling.

Lin Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Looking at the slightly slender young figure ahead, his eyes were filled with undisguisable fanaticism and awe.

Too strong!

The scene back at the underground base, where Su Yu killed Devil Emperor Moyan with two spear strikes, was deeply branded into the depths of his Soul.

What a shocking and magnificent power that was!

The Abyss defense line that the Human Race had struggled to maintain for over ten thousand years was, in front of this youth, simply like a joke.

"Move faster!"

Lin Xiao lowered his voice, scolding his subordinates.

"The boss is paving the way ahead, and we can't even keep up with picking up the money. Do we want to lose the face of the Pojun Battalion?!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers were flushed with red faces, rushing forward with all their might, terrified of missing a single Devil Core.

Huo Zhenshan, walking in the middle of the team, couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

His old face was grinning like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Satisfying! Too damn satisfying!"

Huo Zhenshan fiddled with the military communicator in his hand as he walked.

He had just uploaded the surveillance video of Su Yu killing Devil Emperor Moyan with two spear strikes, after the highest level of encryption, to the top-secret network of the Great Xia Kingdom military.

It was open only to the highest level of leadership.

"Let those old fogies who always put on airs in front of me see this."

"Today, I'll let you all open your eyes!"

Huo Zhenshan triumphantly pressed the send button.

At the same time. Capital Martial Arts University, Vice Principal's office.

Vice Principal Nie Changkong was looking at Master Zong Yan, who was still chattering away, with a headache.

"Nie Changkong, you must call Su Yu back for me today!"

Master Zong Yan slapped the table, his beard bristling and eyes glaring.

"So what if he has Qi Resonance Spear Intent?!"

"No matter how strong martial arts are, can they be stronger than a Mythical Rank mecha?!"

"As long as he is willing to learn forging from me, I guarantee that within ten years... no, five years! I can have him personally craft a supreme mecha capable of suppressing the Luck of an entire nation!"

"Then, he can sweep across the Abyss..."

Just then. Beep—! The top-secret terminal on the desk suddenly emitted a piercing alert sound.

Vice Principal Nie Changkong frowned. This was the military's highest-level red alert communication, which only rang when something concerning the survival of the Human Race occurred.

He immediately turned around and pressed his fingerprint to unlock it. Master Zong Yan also stopped roaring and leaned over.

On the screen, an encrypted video file popped up. Sender: Huo Zhenshan. Title: [Record of Su Yu Killing a Devil Emperor].

Boom! The moment they saw the title, both Vice Principal Nie Changkong and Master Zong Yan's minds went "buzz."

The two of them were instantly stunned in place.

"Devil... Devil Emperor?!"

Vice Principal Nie Changkong gasped, his voice instantly changing pitch.

"A Devil Emperor actually appeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?!"

Master Zong Yan widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"What the hell!"

"That's a Devil Emperor! What the hell is that old man Huo doing?!"

"Wasn't Su Yu supposed to go take over the money printing factory? How did he run into a Devil Emperor?!"

"Running into a Devil Emperor and not immediately taking Su Yu and running away, but actually having time to film a video?!"

"Is he senile?! Does he not know life from death?!"

Master Zong Yan was so anxious he was stomping his feet. That was a peerless Genius capable of crafting a Mythical Rank mecha; if he were to fall in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he would have to tear apart Huo Zhenshan's old bones!

"Quiet!"

Vice Principal Nie Changkong took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in his heart. His palms were covered in cold sweat as he tremblingly clicked the play button.

The screen lit up. In the ruins of the underground money printing factory. The hundred-foot-tall Devil Emperor Moyan radiated a terrifying pressure that could destroy heaven and earth.

Even through the screen, Vice Principal Nie Changkong and Master Zong Yan could feel the suffocating sense of despair.

However. The next second. Su Yu in the video didn't even use a shred of Qi-blood.

He simply condensed a transparent spear out of thin air. Forward. A thrust.

Puchi! The Devil Emperor's chest was instantly pierced through!

Immediately after, the Devil Emperor used the Forbidden Art of Heavenly Devil Disintegration, doubling his combat power, his momentum monstrous.

The second spear. Bang! The Devil Emperor, with doubled power, was shattered and obliterated under the grinding force of the Laws of heaven and earth!

The video ended there. The office fell into a deathly silence. You could hear a pin drop.

Vice Principal Nie Changkong opened his mouth, like a fish out of water, gasping for breath.

Master Zong Yan was frozen in place, like a stone statue.

Shock? That was no longer enough to describe their current mood.

This was subversion! It was crushing the common sense they had built up over decades into the ground!

A full three minutes passed. Vice Principal Nie Changkong finally stammered, "He didn't seem to use any Qi-blood?"

Master Zong Yan turned his stiff neck with difficulty to look at Vice Principal Nie Changkong. "Isn't he a bit too strong?"

"Being this strong. Then... then what's the point of a mecha?"

Master Zong Yan's voice was terrifyingly hoarse, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness and the confusion of doubting his whole life.

"He didn't even use Qi-blood, and with two spear strikes, he poked a powered-up Devil Emperor to death..."

"With a monster like this around, why not just have him go out and kill the Devil Emperors, and sweep across the Abyss, and be done with it?!"

"What have I been smithing for all my life?!"

Master Zong Yan felt his faith collapse. The Nation-Guardian Rank mecha he was so proud of couldn't even take a single slap from a Devil Emperor. Yet, Su Yu killed a Devil Emperor like killing a chicken!

"This kid..." Vice Principal Nie Changkong swallowed a dry mouthful of saliva, staring fixedly at the youthful face on the screen. "Only eighteen?"

Vice Principal Nie Changkong suddenly turned his head to look at Master Zong Yan, his eyes almost popping out. "You're telling me he's eighteen???"

"What kind of eighteen-year-old freshman can poke a Devil Emperor around like a balloon?!"

This growth speed. This unreasonable combat power. It had completely exceeded the scope of human understanding!

Vice Principal Nie Changkong took a deep breath, leaned heavily against the back of his chair, and looked up at the ceiling. After a long while, he let out a sigh of extreme complexity.

"A Genius truly cannot be measured by common sense!"

"Thank goodness..."

"Thank goodness he is Human!"

Meanwhile. At the northern border, outside the Zhenyuan Great Wall. On the endless Abyss wilderness.

The two Nation-Guardian Martial Gods, Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, who had just been stirred to boiling blood by Huo Zhenshan's video and decided to take the initiative to attack, were now in terrible Luck!

They had originally thought that since Demon Emperor Heitian's palm had been severed by Su Yu from afar, the three great Devil Emperors had already been scared out of their wits, and the outskirts of the Abyss should be defensively empty. So, the two of them led their elites, crossed the boundary, and prepared to wipe out a few Abyss strongholds first.
