Chapter 161: Instantaneous Art

Wisps of black aura snaked across the blade.

Su Yu looked at the black blade held by the Demon Clan member before him. He had to admit, the appearance and the black aura it emitted truly gave off a unique feeling.

Su Yu cast his gaze toward the weapons in the hands of the other Demon Race, only to discover that they were not like the weapon before him.

His was simply a bit more unique.

However, it was all just for show. The black aura it emitted served no real purpose; perhaps its only function was to look impressive, but Su Yu could tell the true worth of this weapon at a glance.

In fact, the quality of the black blade held by this Demon Clan member wasn't even as good as the sword currently in his own hand.

Although they were both Profound Rank Medium Grade weapons, there were still distinctions in quality even among the same grade.

Su Yu had no intention of saying much more to this Demon Clan member.

He gripped his sword and assumed a stance.

He was in no rush to attack first; the Demon Clan member before him clearly lacked patience.

He only needed to wait quietly.

The result was obvious. The Demon Clan member facing Su Yu looked at him and said, "Die!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than the Demon Clan member, who had been standing opposite him, vanished in an instant, leaving a black afterimage streaking through the air.

When Su Yu looked up, dozens of black blades were descending upon him.

Su Yu pinched a sword seal, and instantly, sword shadows shimmering with a cold, eerie light surrounded him.

The number of sword techniques he currently mastered was beyond anyone's imagination.

Whenever he wished, he could manifest the power of any grade of sword technique.

The technique he was currently using was one he frequently employed within this squad, and it was sufficient for most situations.

Su Yu transformed his finger into a sword and swiped it toward the Demon Clan member's attack above.

In an instant, the shockwaves from the collision of blade and sword began to spread outwards.

Wang Yang and the others watched as the battle between Su Yu and the Demon Clan member began, and it appeared the two were evenly matched.

However, based on their understanding of Su Yu, they knew he was still holding back some trump cards.

They didn't know if the Demon Clan member had any trump cards, but if he didn't, he likely wouldn't be a match for Su Yu.

No sooner had they spoken than the Demon Clan members on their side couldn't help but launch an attack against them.

Wang Yang and the others flew up to respond.

On Su Yu's side, the final collision between his sword shadow and the blade kicked up a violent gust of wind, and the surrounding trees had long since been shattered by their aura.

Such an attack was actually not very spectacular in this battle; in fact, it was quite mediocre, as many in the Golden Core Stage present could achieve the same.

Therefore, no one paid any particular attention to his side.

Their gazes were always drawn to the Geniuses.

The battles of those Geniuses were always so dazzling; people like them were like stars beside the moon, and people's eyes were always drawn to the moon.

Both attacks remained deadlocked in the air, neither gaining the upper hand.

But it didn't stay deadlocked for long; the intense shockwaves caused by their attacks forced the Demon Clan member back quite a distance.

Seeing this, Su Yu also pretended to retreat.

Su Yu didn't forget to feign a state of disordered breathing.

The Demon Clan member was also panting; looking at Su Yu's state, it seemed he was in much the same condition.

He hadn't expected that this person before him, who looked like he shouldn't be very strong, actually possessed a fair amount of strength when fighting.

This attack also made him clear on Su Yu's strength.

Afterward, the two began to fight continuously, their figures flickering constantly in the firmament, and their speeds were unimaginably fast.

It was as if bolts of lightning were traveling across the sky.

The blade lights and sword shadows emitted by the two slashed at the surroundings, which had long been carved with countless sword marks.

The two remained deadlocked in the sky, neither able to do anything to the other.

Both had sustained minor injuries to varying degrees, but these injuries had no real impact.

Su Yu looked at the Demon Clan member before him. His performance was not bad, right? He had portrayed the strength of a Golden Core Stage early phase cultivator to the fullest.

Even the minor injuries on his body were faked.

It was all to maintain his current identity.

The Demon Clan member looked at Su Yu. They had been fighting for so long, and he had already clearly grasped Su Yu's strength.

Continuing to fight like this was meaningless; in the end, it would just come down to who exhausted their reserves first.

He pulled back to create some distance and looked at Su Yu. "Kid, I didn't expect you to have some strength, but this is the end. If you have no trump cards, then become a soul under my blade here."

"Instantaneous Art."

In an instant, the aura of the Demon Clan member before Su Yu surged violently.

Thick, black aura constantly gushed out from around his body.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was twisted, and the Meridians all over his body bulged.

Just looking at his appearance made one feel uncomfortable.

The sudden change on Su Yu's side also caught the attention of Wang Yang and the others.

Su Yu saw Wang Yang and the others look toward him, but they quickly stopped paying attention.

They knew that if Su Yu couldn't handle it, he would send them a signal. Since Su Yu had no unusual movements, they just needed to focus on the battles before them.

At this moment, the Demon Clan member before Su Yu spoke in a hoarse voice.

This was likely the trump card of this Demon Clan member. He really couldn't hold anything back, using it so early.

From this aura, Su Yu could see at a glance that the Cultivation Technique this Demon Clan member was practicing had a time limit.

Moreover, there were significant side effects after using it.

As expected, the script was finally getting interesting. Su Yu had been waiting for this moment to arrive.

If he hadn't had this trick up his sleeve, it would have been a bit disappointing.

But fortunately, he didn't disappoint him.

Since that was the case, he might as well bring out the trump card he had prepared for his superficial identity.

Wang Yang and the others had actually seen this move of Su Yu's before, which was why they hadn't been overly worried just now.

Su Yu pressed his two fingers together and pointed toward the sky. Instantly, the sword momentum on Su Yu's body continuously condensed and rose.

Sharp Sword Qi constantly impacted the surroundings.

Seeing that Su Yu had also used his trump card, Wang Yang and the others realized that the battle over there would soon be over, so they needed to step up their efforts as well.

In just a moment, the sword momentum on Su Yu's body had condensed to its limit.

Invisible sword momentum filled the surroundings. Su Yu opened his eyes, and instantly, a cold light flashed in them; at this moment, the sword momentum had reached its peak.

The auras of both sides were constantly clashing at this moment.

The Demon Clan member before Su Yu did not back down either.

He took a step in the sky, and just with this step, the shockwaves produced behind the Demon Clan member caused the ground below to begin collapsing continuously.

Su Yu watched as the Demon Clan member launched his attack.

That spirit sword, condensing the sword momentum, tore through the firmament and attacked the Demon Clan member.

After a dazzling flash of light, both of them were sent flying backward, each smashing a huge deep pit in the ground below.

But it was clear that the Demon Clan member was more severely injured; a small half of his body was already gone.

Whereas Su Yu only had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his aura was merely unstable.

Su Yu pretended to stand up with difficulty, his aura in disarray, and walked over to the Demon Clan member's side.

"It seems I have won." The Demon Clan member in the deep pit was already on his last breath and was unable to speak.

Su Yu raised his hand and dealt him the final blow.

He then prepared to pretend to rest for a moment, but at this moment, Su Yu's gaze shifted elsewhere. "Hmm? Who is this person?"
