Capítulo 1864: Chapter 1865: The Cause of the Unexpected

The peculiar properties of the mist completely swallowed Su Chengyu’s technique. He did not understand its principles, but the current situation did not allow him the time to delve into reasons.

Since the opponent wanted to engage in close combat, Su Chengyu didn’t mind playing along, just to test the opponent’s true strength level.

Clang!

The Dragon Slayer Sword pressed against the black stone heavy sword, the powerful oppressive force causing Su Chengyu’s figure to sink below the ground.

Fortunately, the area shrouded in mist was enveloped by the mist’s power, otherwise the sheer force of the collision would have been enough to slam Su Chengyu underground.

A genuine Martial God, though perhaps not excelling in speed, possessed power far beyond what Su Chengyu could unleash.

“Sword Swinging Eight Desolates!”

The horizontal draw of the Dragon Slayer Sword, though a sword was used, the move was transformed from a technique of the Wasteland Battle Halberd.

At Su Chengyu’s current realm, as martial arts go, weapons were no longer a limitation to his skills. He could utilize the Dragon Slayer Sword to execute the first two moves of the Wasteland Battle Halberd.

The third move, being the strongest technique of the Wasteland Battle Halberd, required the support of the Breath of Destruction, and Su Chengyu, having not yet integrated the Breath of Destruction within him into a complete circuit, could not yet perform it.

Nevertheless, even the altered move of the first style, Wasteland Battle Ground, was already fierce enough.

The White Tiger Giant, sensing danger, retreated in response, avoiding the edge of the Dragon Slayer Sword, and tried once again to hide within the mist to obscure his figure.

Yet how could Su Chengyu give him such an opportunity? Taking advantage of the opening from the sword, Su Chengyu sprinted forward, the Wasteland Battle Halberd appearing in his other hand, tightly grasping the long halberd and thrusting heavily at the White Tiger!

Bam!

The black stone sword blocked before the Wasteland Battle Halberd. Though barely, at the last moment, the White Tiger Giant managed to hold the stone sword at his vital spot, preventing Su Chengyu from severely injuring him again.

Su Chengyu sneered, looking at the merely mortal black stone sword before him, without hesitation, increased the force in his grip once more.

With the force intensified again, the mortal stone sword couldn’t withstand the edge of the Wasteland Battle Halberd and exploded directly.

This turn of events finally brought a look of panic to the White Tiger Giant’s face. Watching the ever-approaching sword edge and long halberd, the White Tiger Giant took a deep breath, and a burst of white light suddenly emerged from his Dantian, spreading the power of merit to envelop his entire body.

The Dragon Slayer Sword and the Wasteland Battle Halberd both halted upon the white light. Confronted with this dense and familiar power of merit, Su Chengyu furrowed his brows and spoke softly.

“You actually mastered the power of the White Tiger Immortal Core?”

The milky-white aura and dense merit power, having just faced the White Tiger Immortal Core not long ago, Su Chengyu naturally recognized the source of this power.

What Su Chengyu didn’t understand was, the power of the God Beast Immortal Core, supposedly only directly absorbable by the Demon Clan, was controlled by this human before him.

“What White Tiger, what Immortal Core, outsider, what on earth are you talking about?”

Su Chengyu’s words finally elicited a reaction from the figure before him, and seeing him like this, Su Chengyu was even more certain of his inner guess.

“I can tell you, but I need to correct two errors of yours first, and you need to answer one question of mine.”

“…”

The White Tiger Giant remained silent, staring intently without responding, clearly waiting for Su Chengyu’s further explanation.

“First, strictly speaking, we both belong to the Human Clan, even though I’m not from the White Tiger Tribe, you shouldn’t call me an outsider. I’m not what you think, a member of the Demon Clan, shouldn’t you have sensed that by now?”

The opponent’s means were ordinary, yet his power rivaled a High Grade Martial Emperor, which only suggested that the essence of this power didn’t belong to him.

Even if temporarily possessed, it was enough for the person before him to perceive that he wasn’t the Demon Clan they thought.

Seeing no response from the White Tiger Giant, Su Chengyu continued.

“Second, the term White Tiger Immortal Core may be unfamiliar to you, but the power you are borrowing now comes from it. Or to use your customary term, from the so-called Beast God.”

“Absurd! How could we dare to probe the mighty power of Lord Beast God?”

The White Tiger Giant reacted emotionally, clearly unwilling to accept Su Chengyu’s words.

“Believe it or not, that’s your choice, but seeing your reaction, I think I already know the answer to my question.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your actions have exceeded the expectations of the Beast God you mentioned. To put it in terms you can understand, the power you’ve borrowed wasn’t sanctioned by Lord Beast God, was it? Though I don’t know your tribe’s rules, such presumptuous acts couldn’t possibly be taken for granted, right?”

“Rubbish!”

Agusi of the White Tiger Tribe spoke emotionally.

The two communicated using Divine Sense. Although some terms were hard for Agusi to grasp, he could understand the other’s intention through the Divine Sense connection.

This was the benefit of mental communication: if both parties wished, there would be no misunderstandings, allowing absolutely precise understanding of each other’s meanings.

But clearly, Agusi couldn’t accept Su Chengyu’s words. Presumptuous actions were a serious crime anywhere, and even more unforgivable within the White Tiger Tribe.

Not to mention, if things were truly as Su Chengyu stated, Agusi seizing the Beast God’s power without consent was outright a capital offense!

Watching Agusi, who was agitated, Su Chengyu sheathed his sword and suppressed his aura, expressing with a retreating hostility,

“I have no intention of confronting your tribe, and have already reached an agreement with the Beast God you mentioned. Just hand over what you obtained and return it to the Beast God, and I won’t trouble you.”

Agusi’s brow tightened, glaring suspiciously at the strange behavior of this human, but if everything Su Chengyu said was true, he’d worry his unauthorized actions had undermined the Beast God’s plan.

After hesitating, Agusi inquired,

“What kind of agreement did you reach with the Beast God?”

“I will take it away, and you can continue to thrive freely on this land.”

Though Su Chengyu didn’t understand how this ordinary man seized the power of the God Beast Immortal Core, since it wasn’t the White Tiger Immortal Core’s doing, Su Chengyu was willing to fulfill his previous promise and not act against the people of the White Tiger Tribe, which is why he sincerely communicated with Agusi.

However, after hearing Su Chengyu’s words, Agusi’s brow furrowed even deeper.

“Impossible! You say the Beast God wants to abandon us and leave alone? That’s impossible!”

Su Chengyu was not surprised by Agusi’s response, and calmly replied, “What he has done for you is already sufficient, and now that you’ve found your stride, ordinary Demon Clan can’t threaten your extermination. Surely you don’t intend to always live under its protection, right? If you don’t believe me, remove that Immortal Core as I said, and ask him yourself.”

Su Chengyu spoke very calmly, and Agusi couldn’t discern any deceit from his face, yet precisely because of this, Agusi’s heart was thrown into turmoil.

Is the Beast God really leaving?

Then what were they to make of this? What to make of the dozen priestly lives sacrificed to protect the tribe and assist Lord Beast God?

“No… this absolutely cannot be… You’re lying to me!”

Agusi shouted emotionally, his eyes red, as he grabbed a nearby bush, infused it with Divine Power, and hurled it at Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu slashed away the flying bush with a sword, and not far away, Agusi had already turned and tried to dive headlong into the mist.

“If you wish to die, then don’t blame me for being merciless!”
