Chapter 2369: Never Submit (1)

Devil Pseudo Emperor had died.

A supreme powerhouse and a warlord who had dominated since the ancient past had died just like that. The devil race had more than one emperor. The one who had died was the third. The first had died, as mentioned by Martial Emperor.

The second, Blazing Flame Devil Pseudo Emperor, had gone missing for many years. It was rumored that he had entered the Earth Gate with Control King.

The one upstream was the third.

This was also the strongest of them all. Or to be more accurate, he seemed to be the strongest from what they knew for now. During the ancient past, countless powerhouses roamed the world. Blazing Flame Devil Pseudo Emperor had abdicated due to a lack of strength. Then again, no tier-one was truly weak.

And now, someone so impressive had died.

***

Immortal Pseudo Emperor was shocked. Divine Pseudo Emperor was alarmed.

But there was still hope.

Yes. Even with a tier-one dead, there was still hope for them. The newly healed powerhouses were near. The moment they arrived, they could turn the situation around. No matter how strong Su Yu and Great Zhou King were, two tier-ones wouldn't be able to defeat over thirty Masters of Laws.

Perhaps only someone like Human Emperor could do so at his peak. But Human Emperor was not here.

Even if most of these people were tier-threes and tier-fours with only a small number of tier-twos among them, they had enough number to handle two tier-ones. Furthermore, with Divine Pseudo Emperor there, they only needed to handle one, not two.

Despite the abrupt change, it was still time for action. Immortal Pseudo Emperor roared, "Kill! Kill Su Yu and victory will be ours!"

They only needed to kill Su Yu.

They could still win.

Definitely!

Immortal Pseudo Emperor roared madly. Divine Pseudo Emperor was roaring as well. He punched repeatedly, keeping Su Yu suppressed. As for Great Zhou King and the others, they started hesitating after killing Devil Pseudo Emperor.

Should they assist Su Yu?

Just as they hesitated, Su Yu's cold voice rang out, "Go. Kill Immortal Pseudo Emperor. All of you."

That order shocked all of them. Four tier-ones were sent to deal with a heavily injured Immortal Pseudo Emperor. What was Su Yu thinking? The fight over here would be much more difficult.

After a slight struggle, Great Zhou King gnashed his teeth and roared, "Kill!"

And thus, they moved around the over thirty incoming powerhouses and shot straight toward Immortal Pseudo Emperor.

Immortal Pseudo Emperor's expression changed slightly, but he roared as well, "Continue!"

That shocked many people as well. Multiple powerhouses were attacking him, but he was not seeking any help. He was clearly quite a crazy one as well. He was betting that Su Yu would die before him. He wasn't even surprised that Su Yu wanted him dead. Even Human Emperor wanted him dead.

As a supreme powerhouse who had mastered the life dao, his existence was too dangerous for his enemies. In fact, he was almost as important as Su Yu. Without him, all the injured Masters of Laws wouldn't have recovered so soon.

One could say that both Su Yu and Immortal Pseudo Emperor were the cores of their respective factions. In fact, Human Emperor had sustained his heavy injuries back then when he tried to kill Immortal Pseudo Emperor.

Great Zhou King and the others were charging toward Immortal Pseudo Emperor while gnashing their teeth. Divine Pseudo Emperor had a cold expression as he faced the crazy Su Yu.

It was obvious that Su Yu was betting that Immortal Pseudo Emperor would be the one to die first. Unfortunately for him, he did not understand Immortal Pseudo Emperor enough. That wouldn't happen. He was greatly shocked by Devil Pseudo Emperor's death.

But Immortal Pseudo Emperor was still around. With him around, everyone could recover despite their heavy injuries. Things weren't that bad yet. Also, how was Su Yu going to face over thirty Masters of Laws? Did he really believe that he was unrivalled?

The intense battle continued. People were constantly dying.

And finally, the over thirty powerhouses arrived. The moment they arrived, numerous attacks rained down on Su Yu.

Just die already!

No matter how strong he was, he was only one man. They had the numbers, and they also had Divine Pseudo Emperor here. Everyone on Su Yu's side grew anxious. Those were too many enemies for him to handle.

It was over. That was what many believed

Suddenly, Su Yu reached out. A pen manifested before him. And as he pointed, two figures appeared above the pen. Riding atop the gigantic pen, the two charged forward.

Pen dao.

The pen dao in the River of Time, to be specific.

The moment the pen appeared, its mighty prowess swept through the world, alarming Divine Pseudo Emperor.

That was not all. Down below, a dark shadow spread out and covered the world. It was the ink dao.

Liu Hong's voice rang out, "Liu Hong, commander of Emperor Yu's Court's Secret Guard, offers his greetings."

Su Yu remained silent.

As the power of Su Yu's world spread out, more and more figures appeared.

Numerous daos manifested.

"Commander of Secret Guard, Zhu Tiandao, offers his greetings."

A laughter rang out as formations appeared everywhere.

"Master Xia the Second, Commander of Secret Guard, offers his greetings."

One powerhouse after another walked out of the manifested daos.

Incomplete Heaven Gates could be seen on their bodies. Right as they appeared, Su Yu started projecting the strength from five of the powerhouses waiting inside the Heaven Gate toward the five newcomers.

The five waiting inside the gate were tier-ones and tier-twos. Prior to this, Su Yu had not bothered to use their strength since it wouldn't do much for him. But this would be a massive boost for his subordinates.

As the daos shook, the bodies of the ones receiving the boost cracked open for a split second before their bodies repaired themselves fully.

They were able to easily recover because they no longer had their physical bodies.

Dao fusion.

They had become one with their daos.

"Commander of Secret Guard, Xia Wushen, offers his greetings."

An overbearing blade swept forth.

Nan Wujiang and Yun Chen were considered one since they jointly controlled the pen dao. Thus, there were five of them, matching the number of the waiting powerhouses inside the gate.

Secret Guard.

But they weren't so secretive that everyone was surprised to see them.

Pen, ink, formation, physical body, and saber.

The powers of five different daos seeped out of Su Yu's body. The power stripped from Return, a tier-one, was enough to produce multiple peak tier-twos. The moment the five daos were pushed to peak tier-two, five powerhouses had emerged from these daos.

They had been hiding inside the daos, awaiting the perfect moment to make their move. As the blade flashed forward, a head was severed. At the same time, the swamp-like darkness spread forth and swallowed someone in the blink of an eye.

The pen dao, in particular, showcased the greatest level of strength. After all, this was the dao Culture King had created his legend with. With a jab, the pen blasted a powerhouse apart.

Three Masters of Laws had died instantly.

Marquis Xia and Zhu Tiandao were slightly weaker among the five. Even with the boost, they were only tier-threes. But the two worked together, caging a powerhouse in the numerous formations before detonating countless talismans inside the cage.

The caged powerhouse was blasted apart.

Prior to this, Divine Pseudo Emperor and four other powerhouses were charging at the very front of their group toward Su Yu. Divine Pseudo Emperor was pushed back by Su Yu's saber while the other four had been killed in a split second by the newcomers.

The expression of Divine Pseudo Emperor changed drastically.

Dead!

Su Yu had more people!

"Pen dao?" Divine Pseudo Emperor was ashen-faced. Looking at the gigantic pen in the sky, he gnashed his teeth and spat, "Transforming into dao spirits? How ruthless. You are too ruthless, Su Yu."

As a peak powerhouse, Divine Pseudo Emperor was able to see through the newcomers easily. All of them had transformed into dao spirits. That was not all. Su Yu was also boosting them with some unknown power. It was the Heaven Gate!

Finally, Divine Pseudo Emperor noticed. His face turned even more unsightly. Four on their side had died. That wasn't a big number, but the damage to their morale and momentum was big.

Prior to this, all of them had charged forth with the belief that Su Yu would die. But several new powerhouses had appeared out of nowhere to kill those charging at the very front, halting their momentum.

In fact, they were no longer charging. All of them were worried that even more powerhouses would appear to kill more of them. Were there more? Just how many powerhouses was Su Yu still hiding?

Zero.

That was Su Yu's answer. This was all he had. Furthermore, Marquis Xia and Zhu Tiandao couldn't even be considered proper Masters of Laws. They were only being boosted beyond their level by the borrowed power from the gate.

And this was only possible because they had shed their physical bodies to become one with their daos. Otherwise, the projected power would be enough to blast their bodies apart. Strictly speaking, they were no longer humans. They were daos. A lot more power was required to feed an actual dao to the point of bursting apart.

Su Yu noticed how all of them were calling themselves commanders, but he did not care about that. They were free to call themselves whatever they wanted.

Gazing at his gathered opponents with indifference, Su Yu said, "Too weak. Too little. This is far from my limit. Let us continue."

As he spoke, numerous silhouettes appeared behind him.

Divine Pseudo Emperor narrowed his eyes and roared, "Those are fakes! Kill him!"

Boom!

He led with a punch, sending a wave of divine power rippling forth alongside his fist. Instantly, the silhouettes behind Su Yu burst apart.

Yes. Fakes.

He was only trying to scare them. Unfortunately, Divine Pseudo Emperor did not fall for that. What a pity. Not only had Divine Pseudo Emperor not fallen for it, but he had even exposed it. How mean.

Su Yu hurriedly stepped back while recalling the five to stand guard before him.

He grinned and asked, "You have a major battle for your debut. Isn't this exciting?"

A lot of people had joined the Secret Guard, but some still weren't ready to fight. Since Su Yu didn't have more people he could borrow power from, those Daofuses and heavenly kings wouldn't be able to do much here.

Summoning those people here would be the same as telling them to drop dead and die. The five chosen were the ones with powerful chosen daos. Coupled with the boost from the five inside the gate, they could be pushed to the level of Masters of Laws. This couldn't be replicated to the rest of them.

Divine Pseudo Emperor roared again, "Kill!"

One Su Yu and several Masters of Laws were still not enough to stop them.

Su Yu sighed, but next, he chuckled and said, "So be it. Let's...fight."

Boom!
