Chapter 176: Chapter 173: The Collapse of Su Yu
Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang, the fat-and-skinny duo, had thoroughly implemented the "Three Alls Policy."
Anyone they came across, whether a criminal or a genius participating in the annual selection, was shown no mercy. They were all stripped naked and robbed of all their possessions.
And so, a rumor about the "Fat and Skinny Fiends" spread throughout the area Within the Pass.
Almost everyone knew that two deranged perverts had appeared Within the Pass.
They didn’t want Tokens, nor did they kill anyone. They only stole valuables and had a penchant for stripping people of their clothes.
What was even more terrifying was that they didn’t discriminate between men and women.
They wouldn’t go easy on you just because you were a girl.
The fat one, in particular, wouldn’t even bat an eye while stripping girls, doing it without a moment’s hesitation.
For a time, the mere mention of the word "fat" made everyone Within the Pass turn pale.
Many female Cultivators even started gathering in groups voluntarily to avoid falling victim to them while alone.
As for the two who had created this panic, they were currently sitting in a circle, staring at a heavily injured young man.
Liu Hui, relying on the Dragon Energy within his body, had sensed a familiar aura Within the Pass.
The aura was powerful, but not pure.
This meant it wasn’t a Dragon Vein of the Mountain and Sea Empire, but likely a Demon Beast possessing the bloodline of the Dragon Race.
This was a great opportunity for Liu Hui. If he could obtain this Demon Beast’s Essence Blood, it would surely make his Dragon Transformation Divine Technique even more perfect.
So, he and Jin Sanpang had rushed over at once.
Who would have thought they were a step too slow, and that Su Yu had already released it?
A Void Realm Silver-backed Earth Dragon that had regained its freedom was not something the two of them could handle.
Liu Hui, already fuming, could no longer hold back after hearing Su Yu muttering to himself, which led to the present scene.
Revived by the Medicinal Cuisine, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.
’I’m not dead?’
Su Yu was first overjoyed, but then his peripheral vision caught sight of Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang at his side, and he immediately tried to flee.
DONG!
Jin Sanpang threw out his hammer, blocking Su Yu’s escape route.
Seeing the hammer that was as large as half a room, Su Yu gave up on the idea of running.
"Spill everything, and I can give you a quick death," Liu Hui said, his face dark.
Su Yu sneered disdainfully. "Threaten me? With just you two? Torture won’t work on me."
Liu Hui couldn’t be bothered with small talk. He waved Jin Sanpang over. "San Pang, come have a seat."
With his fat jiggling, Jin Sanpang plopped down right on Su Yu’s waist.
CRACK!
"Argh..."
Su Yu’s vision went black. A mountain-like pressure focused on his waist and abdomen.
His already severely damaged internal organs were suddenly squeezed up into his chest.
Even if his spine wasn’t pulverized, it was definitely fractured.
But things didn’t end there.
"Give it a little twist, a little shake," Liu Hui prompted.
"Oh, oh, okay."
So Jin Sanpang, sitting on Su Yu, began to shake his head, waggle his body, and grind his butt.
Su Yu’s mouth gaped open instantly, his eyes bulged, and their surfaces filled with blood vessels.
A "CHH-HUU, CHH-HUU" sound came from his throat, as if he wanted to speak but couldn’t make a sound.
Do you know what it feels like to have your belly rub against your spine?
Do you know what it feels like to have your internal organs squeezed back and forth like dumpling filling?
Su Yu could tell you he knew!
It was an indescribable pain, as if a hundred Fire Sticks had been stuffed into his stomach and were constantly churning and ramming around.
If it were possible, he would rather die than suffer his current torment.
However, with his Cultivation sealed, he couldn’t even commit suicide by severing his own heart meridian.
He had also tried to bite his tongue off, but Liu Hui would periodically feed him scraps of Medicinal Pills. Not only could he not die, he actually felt more and more vigorous, and his perception of pain became clearer and clearer.
"You can’t die without my permission," Liu Hui said with a smile, patting Su Yu’s face.
Half an hour later...
Su Yu’s eyes were vacant, his face was dull, and drool trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Still feeling naughty?" Liu Hui asked.
"No more, no more!" Su Yu shook his head repeatedly, a terrified look appearing on his face.
"Then tell me everything!"
"Okay, okay, I’ll talk. My name is Su Yu. I am a disciple of Yan Hong, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Imperial Academy. A few days ago, he..."
After being "conditioned" by Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang, Su Yu had suffered a complete mental breakdown.
He held nothing back, answering every question they asked.
After learning the whole story, Jin Sanpang got off Su Yu.
"Your master must be an idiot, sending a piece of trash like you to kill our lord?" Liu Hui sneered and shook his head. He initiated his Dragon Transformation and gripped Su Yu’s head.
"Don’t kill me... I can give you my Token," Su Yu stammered, shakily taking out a golden token.
"A Gold-level Token grants access to better Cultivation Resources in the Imperial Academy."
Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang had strange looks on their faces.
"You mean this thing??"
They each took out their own Tokens. Both were gold.
Su Yu was dumbfounded. ’Since when were Gold-level Tokens so worthless? Everyone has one?’
"Never mind that we don’t care about your Gold-level Token. Even if we wanted it, wouldn’t it be ours after we kill you anyway? Are you an idiot?"
"Don’t kill me... I’m begging you, I..."
In a life-or-death moment, even the most aloof person has a side that will beg humbly for their life.
Unfortunately, Liu Hui paid this no mind. With a sudden exertion of force, his Dragon Claw tore Su Yu’s head off.
"Time to meet up with our lord. San Pang, let’s go!"
After looting Su Yu’s possessions as well, the fat-and-skinny duo vanished on the spot.
...
"Pig Emperor, what’s the situation?"
Qian Duoduo and the other three had been attacking for a quarter of an hour.
"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" the Pig Emperor asked, squirming out of Mo Qi’s embrace and perching on his shoulder.
"The good news."
"The good news is, I have confirmed the location of the Dragon Vein. We can head over anytime."
"And the bad news?"
"The bad news is, not only is the Dragon Vein far from here, it’s also buried deep underground. At our current speed, even if we travel with all our might, it’s impossible to get there before the annual selection ends."
Mo Qi frowned slightly. He never would have expected this situation to arise.
The annual selection lasted for three days. One day had already passed, leaving only two.
Once the time was up, the Tokens would forcibly teleport all living participants away.
’What am I going to do now?’
If he couldn’t reach the Dragon Vein, he couldn’t possibly find the Dragon Vein Imperial Bell, let alone ring it.
And if that happened, Jin Sanpang’s father, Jin Quan, was doomed.
"That’s enough. Stop attacking."
Mo Qi waved his hand, and Qian Duoduo and the others stopped and gathered around him.
"Big Bro, how’d it go? Did you take care of what you needed to do?"
Mo Qi nodded. Just as he was about to ask Qian Duoduo if he had any treasures for Earth Escape or for increasing their travel speed, the Pig Emperor’s voice rang in his ear.
It was urgent and laced with anxiety.
"Mo the kid, this is bad! A super-powerful expert is approaching at high speed!"
’A super-powerful expert?’
"How powerful?"
"On the same level as the Ni Brothers!"
Mo Qi’s face fell in shock. Before he could even react, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a figure shot out from below, landing in front of everyone.
