Chapter 0777: A Life and Death Struggle
Delight and satisfaction .
This phrase brought about uncomfortable feelings . Of course, the delighted ones were them and not Wu Yu .
Although Wu Yu had emerged victorious against Duan Yi, it could be clear from the jeering laughter and expressions of the princes and princesses that he had clearly failed .
Now they wanted Wu Yu to release Duan Yi . Duan Yi was still suffering amidst the Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design, completely ashamed to face anyone .
To release or not to release?
Wu Yu would naturally let him loose . Additionally, Duan Yi was no longer a crucial piece .
Duan Yi was, after all, merely a p.a.w.n to these individuals . He had lost and was now worthless in their eyes . His aspirations had been shattered . From now onwards, Duan Yi, who was no longer even a dark north general, could not threaten Wu Yu in any way .
Thus Wu Yu released his Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design back into its 10,000 Dragons Staff form in his hands .
Duan Yi truly cut a sorry figure as it was . Perhaps he did not even know what was happening . His vacant gaze stared towards the audience . Anyone could imagine the sort of mental shock he had received . Yet all of this was self-inflicted .
The current him was just itching to find a hole to hide in .
Before the princes could speak, he willingly chose to break his own Darkness Breaching Talisman and escape the Ghost Sea Prison . Before long, an elder came by to escort him out silently .
Truthfully, the news of Wu Yu obtaining numerous Dead Souls Nets had already been spread to the princes and princesses .
"Everyone, I will take my leave . " As they had previously agreed upon this, Wu Yu had no further need to linger here .
Princess You Xue wanted to leave with him, and more than half of Wu Yu"s numerous doppelgangers had already returned to him . Only 300 remained by his side . The Heaven Devouring Avatar was also nearby . When the numbers were fewer, the white-haired, blood red-pupiled avatar was truly eye-catching . All of the members of royalty continued to stare at it .
"Wu Yu . This is our last warning . We are very good-natured people . Don"t force us to turn into killing monsters . Your future lies in our hands," Prince You Yan drawled as he affixed his gaze onto Wu Yu . He still didn"t believe in Wu Yu"s ability - he believed Wu Yu did not have the ability to resist .
This was the plight of those without background .
When Wu Yu left, they did not stop him . Instead, they gathered in a circle and smiled, as though everything had been settled perfectly .
"Alright . As per our agreement, we will begin now . We will compete fairly and see who gains the position of first place . " Prince You Yang smiled gaily . To be frank, he had full confidence in his ability to emerge as number one .
Of course, there were still another 20 days of time . The cultivators and demons were whipped into a frenzy . Whoever obtained the position of champion would obtain the Dark North Royal Obelisk, and it was an unbelievable prize .
After hearing of Wu Yu"s count of Dead Souls Nets, they were a.s.sured that in 20 days, they would push him out of the top five .
Their original agreement was to gather and deal with Wu Yu before engaging in fair compet.i.tion . Despite their amicable dealings, once they separated, they started to battle frenziedly .
It was a race against time, and all 20 of them left even quicker than Wu Yu did .
All that was left was Princess You Xue, Wu Yu, and the hidden Full Moon of Nanshan . Princess You Xue was unaware that this guest was hiding nearby .
Her expression showed a deep furrow as she gazed at Wu Yu sadly . "I"m sorry . I never knew they would use such depraved means . Such coercion must have been hard to tolerate . There"s still time and we can think of a solution . " However, Wu Yu was clearly aware of the situation .
At this point in time, there was nothing that could truly faze him .
"Don"t be anxious," he said as he looked at Princess You Xue . He was filled only with determination and cold blood .
Princess You Xue replied, "After they spoke so and you immediately agreed, I already knew that you would not obey . You should hurry and attain first place . That way, once we leave, I will do my best to restrict them and prevent this situation from spreading . They would not dare to make a move . The only fear is that they will act without caring about their own reputation and dispatch a.s.sa.s.sins in the shadows or act underhandedly . This is something we truly cannot defend against . " She herself was a princess . Within the Dark North Kingdom, her methods were similar . If this spread, that these princes had used such means to pressure Wu Yu, it would be a stain on their reputation . If the elders heard of it, they might not even allow such actions .
It was truly shameless .
Wu Yu insipidly replied, "If I acted as they said, then all of my previous efforts would go to waste . I will not let go of something I"ve almost attained . Especially not to a group of vagabonds and vagrants . This is not my dao . " Thus, he would continue to struggle, regardless of the risk . After all, what in martial cultivation did not possess risk?
Either the fish dies or the net breaks . This was a struggle of life and death .
"Thus, I will struggle even harder to become champion . This way, I will become more famous . Once I"ve done so, I will spread tales of their underhanded means . " This way, the members of royalty would have to closely consider their moves . Otherwise, it would demonstrate their inferior characters and tarnish their reputation throughout the Jambu Realm .
Prince You Yan had not expected that Wu Yu would become even more determined . With such a large blade hanging over Wu Yu"s head, his mood naturally improved . They felt that they had truly suppressed Wu Yu .
Thus, he would not go further and would cease striving for first place .
Additionally, the princes and princesses and the rest of them were the ones with the highest chance of entering the top 10 . Those below the 10th tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm could only curse .
It was obvious that everyone would go all out towards the end .
"You"ve thought things through . They will definitely not let you stay in the top five . Now that things have reached this point, I"m sure they wouldn"t mind doing a bit more . Anyway, anyone could go crazy, right?" the Full Moon of Nanshan said to Wu Yu . Only nonsense ever came out of that boar"s mouth .
"I know, pinning your hopes on others" consciences and scruples is dangerous . If they are left with no choice, even I will be caught in the crossfire! Thus, when the Dark North Battle for Supremacy ends, I need to have the strength to resist them and gain a foundation for myself . "
"Your strength can only compete with that Duan Yi guy . You are only left with 20 days . What else can you do?" The Full Moon of Nanshan guffawed .
Wu Yu did not reply . He had no need for the Full Moon of Nanshan to know of the devouring powers of the Heaven Devouring Avatar . It had already left .
"Regardless, the number of demons that will appear will gradually increase . With only 20 days left, everyone will be striving for Dead Souls Nets!" Wu Yu said resolutely .
After introducing Princess You Xue to the Full Moon of Nanshan, the hiding demon said, "This la.s.s is truly hot . However, I cannot bully my friend"s wife . I will merely appreciate you from a distance . "
"Go and look for demons . " Wu Yu cut him off immediately and the three headed off together, to prevent a similar situation from happening again .
The threat to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent would come later . Princess You Xue"s safety was more urgent .
"Let’s go . " The Full Moon of Nanshan acted as though he had forgotten something as he chuckled before heading off .
Wu Yu and Princess You Xue already knew that they had embarked on a tempestuous road . It would be untold times more unpredictable, where success was not guaranteed .
The opponents had already forced Wu Yu onto a narrow path . He would struggle to the end and see who would emerge alive!
He had no background, but what he had was the valor and courage of a true martial cultivator .
However, the 800,000 viewers outside had no idea what their decision was .
They had seen Wu Yu conquering Duan Yi before leading Princess You Xue away . The other princes and princesses had immediately rushed off, and it seemed like the problem had resolved itself .
Wu Yu and Princess You Xue were even chattering . It seemed like everything was fine .
Wu Yu did not seem like he was leaving the Ghost Sea Prison . He seemed to have quietened down and allowed others to surpa.s.s him .
Otherwise, why would the rest have left so happily?
They had peacefully rushed off to engage in a final brawl . Even the demons were anxious at this point in time . All the sea region demons from the Dead Souls Sea Region were looking forward to leaving this jail .
Now that things were about to come to a close, they would not hold back . Additionally, the number of cultivators remaining was not high .
The Full Moon of Nanshan had also almost obtained the Darkness Breaching Talismans he needed . Wu Yu had also given him a hand .
Just as they thought things were going well .
What happened next was something no one had expected . Wu Yu seemed to have erupted into a frenzy . He fervently sought out demons and fought berserkly, obtaining Dead Souls Nets left and right . Most of the demons had already shown themselves, so his hunting speed gradually hastened . He continued to expand his large lead, and in just half a day"s time, he had almost 70 to 80 more Dead Souls Nets than the person in second place . It would easily take one almost 10 days just to bridge this gap .
Prince You Yan was all smiles at first . He did not know that Wu Yu was slaughtering demons . However, all the viewers knew!
Their attempt to stop Wu Yu had fallen flat . Instead, they had incensed him and made matters worse!
Wu Yu"s fervor could be seen by everyone outside . His speed in striking down demons was naturally quicker than that of those princes .
