Chapter 589: No Gratitude at All

The faintly glowing character of death did not fly toward Su Che but targeted the Ancestor with Divine Eyes instead. However, Su Che didn’t think he was being petty in assuming such high suspicion toward Xue Yu—after all, if he relaxed even slightly, she might take advantage of him.
Whoosh!
Although the character of death appeared large in size, its speed was as fast as lightning, reaching extreme velocity in an instant as it reached behind the Ancestor with Divine Eyes.
Xue Yu chose the Ancestor with Divine Eyes as her target because he had lost a piece of his wing and had not fully recovered yet. Compared to Guang Hao and Lu Nan, his mobility and agility were somewhat inferior. Taking advantage of his weakness was undoubtedly a wise choice.
“Roar!”
The Ancestor with Divine Eyes let out a fierce roar, also sensing the character of death approaching from behind. Unfortunately, its speed was too fast, leaving him no time to dodge.
Like before, this roar was filled with madness and brutality, but this time, it also carried hints of fear and panic. Instinctively, he must have realized that this huge character of “death” carried an extremely terrifying force capable of killing him.
Boom!
Just as the Ancestor with Divine Eyes turned around and stretched out his two sharp claws, attempting to unleash his demonic powers to tear apart the character, it pounced on him like a giant hand, seizing him in its grasp.
With a loud explosion, a thunderous sound akin to that of heavenly lightning erupted—this was actually a bolt of lightning formed by over 300 strands of transparent electricity, combining all their power to deliver a devastating blow.
May the forces of darkness be punished by heaven!
Yet, it was unclear who this “heaven” referred to…
“Argh…”
The Ancestor with Divine Eyes’ agonized screams were drowned out by the blinding flashes of lightning, which lasted for ten breaths before disappearing completely.
After the lightning faded, only his two hardest claws remained suspended in midair. The rest of his body had completely vaporized and vanished.
This space was like a starry sky, devoid of planetary gravity. Without the need for flight techniques, any object could float in the air—these claws were no exception.
“Finally, one less.”
Su Che felt relieved. Without hesitation, he immediately summoned those claws, located over ten zhang away, and stored them in the Immortal Prison.

Of course, while performing this action, he also had to continuously use the “Illusion Shift” technique to dodge the fierce attacks from Guanghao and Lunan.
By obtaining these pair of claws, Su Che wasn’t after such a minor gain; rather, it was to provide Lao Hei with a tangible object to study the weaknesses of this kind of demon race. After all, if they encountered such demons again in the future, they might not have access to similar lightning powers.
After killing one, they could kill another. Through a quick glance, Su Che and Xueyu reached a tacit agreement: this method worked—keep going!
By killing Shenmu, Guanghao and Lunan were naturally enraged, as their relationship was no longer just that of ordinary friends but that of brothers who had undergone evolutionary transformations at the same time, almost like blood relatives.
They had originally planned to capture Su Che and Xueyu alive, holding back their attacks, but now they seemed to no longer care about that.
Roar!
With a roar that vented all their fury, Guanghao and Lunan swung their claws wildly, finally unleashing a unique attack technique specific to their race.
They both targeted Su Che, knowing that his Great Thunder Strike was the greatest threat at the moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
From a distance of nearly a hundred zhang, before Su Che could even react, he felt as though the entire space around him was being torn apart by a powerful and eerie force.
Even before this force fully exerted its power, Su Che could tell it could shatter every object in this area, including himself.
It was a terrifying tearing force, to the point that, in that instant, four words involuntarily came to Su Che’s mind: Great Tearing Technique.
The Great Tearing Technique was one of the Three Thousand Great Paths. Ranked roughly on par with his own Great Slaying Technique, it was also among the techniques ranked after the 2,000th position.
Although it was lower in rank, it was still a supreme technique that surpassed mortal powers and must not be underestimated.
After all, even the lowest-ranked of these Great Paths, if mastered to a high level, could easily defeat even the top 100 ranked techniques at a beginner level.
The greatness of a path itself was hard to distinguish; what truly mattered was the level of mastery achieved by the user.

At this moment, Su Che felt that the tearing power exerted by Guang Hao and Lu Nan was not only likely to be the Great Tearing Art but also that their mastery of this supreme art was extremely high. Even though they had just been corrupted and transformed into such demons, it seemed they, like fish in the sea, were born knowing how to swim and could skillfully control this art of tearing from birth.

Transformation!

Su Che didn’t dare confront them head-on and tried to evade using his teleportation skill, only to be shocked to find that the space around him had been sealed off—like a bird in a cage. Even if it had wings capable of soaring through the sky, it could no longer take off.

“The Great Tearing Art! It must definitely be the Great Tearing Art!”

At this moment, Su Che was completely certain that only a supreme art could possess such power—not only strong offensive capabilities but also various auxiliary effects.

“Tear!”
“Rip!”

Guang Hao and Lu Nan each roared a word, their four sharp claws moving at lightning speed, as if they could tear the trapped Su Che to pieces in the next instant.

Whoosh!

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, Xue Yu, who was about forty zhang away from Su Che, moved suddenly. Wrapped in that circular light sphere, she rushed to Su Che’s side and acted as a living shield to protect him from harm.

“Leave it to me!”

Su Che snorted coldly, refusing her help, and instead unleashed another supreme art he possessed: the second level of the Great Slaying Art—Soul Slaying!

The first level of the Great Slaying Art, Spatial Slaying, used spatial power to create spatial blades to cut through all tangible matter; the second level, Soul Slaying, used intangible power to destroy all intangible entities. Souls, primordial spirits, voices—even others’ thoughts—could all be severed with a single strike.

Hissssss…

Dozens of invisible slashing forces surged out from Su Che’s body. But instead of targeting Guang Hao and Lu Nan, they were meant to break free from the spatial constraints he was under.

Spatial constraints were also a form of intangible power, so Soul Slaying could work against them.

With a roar, like a mad tiger shattering its cage, Su Che broke free. Immediately after, he used another transformation to dodge to a distance of a hundred zhang.

At this moment, the tearing power exerted by Guang Hao and Lu Nan was entirely absorbed by Xue Yu, who stood right in front of them.

Hissssss…

The bright white light sphere protecting the Snow Jade emitted a dazzling glow, after which its diameter shrank by more than half in an instant—clearly having suffered a severe blow and expended a great deal of energy. Yet, Snow Jade’s tactics were truly extraordinary; this unassuming light sphere managed to withstand a powerful attack resembling the “Great Rending Technique,” no wonder she had the audacity to stand in front of Su Che and offer herself as a living shield.

Whoosh!

Soul Slaughter!

Su Che was truly heartless—instead of thanking Snow Jade, he launched a Soul Slaughter, unleashing over a dozen invisible killing forces that silently pierced into the glowing, severely damaged light sphere. He took this opportunity to strike at her in secret; if it worked, great, if not, so be it!

In truth, Su Che didn’t expect this secret attack to hurt Snow Jade at all; it was merely out of frustration—to make her stop haunting him, to stop pestering him relentlessly…

Hating someone to death!

Hiss… Hiss… Hiss…

Unexpectedly, the Soul Slaughter forces seemed to penetrate the light sphere without any resistance. Snow Jade’s body trembled visibly, her face turning pale instantly. She turned to face him and smiled bitterly, saying softly, “Why not let you vent your anger?”

“You really are…”

Su Che shook his head, speechless. This woman was simply a rascal—you could never predict what tactics she would use against you.

At this moment, having endured over a dozen Soul Slaughter attacks and deliberately injuring herself, it was undoubtedly a psychological tactic against him as well—there must be some deeper meaning behind it, surely nothing good…

Ungrateful, Su Che almost instantly unleashed both Soul Slaughter and the Great Thunder Technique. This time, however, the targets of Soul Slaughter were Guang Hao and Lu Nan, to see if these ultimate techniques would be effective against them.

The hundreds of transparent lightning bolts from the Great Thunder Technique still reached Snow Jade’s protective light sphere, and at least two more rounds of such lightning would follow.

After all, that deadly character had successfully killed the Divine Eye Ancestor. After venting his frustration, Su Che still needed to join forces with Snow Jade to eliminate Guang Hao and the other two demons as much as possible.

Hiss… Hiss… Hiss…

Although the speed of the Soul Slaughter attacks wasn’t as fast as that of the Purple Crystal Blade’s light, its greatest advantage was its invisibility and silence, making it hard to detect.

Guanghao and the other demon acted on instinct, faintly sensing that Su Che had launched some kind of attack against them, but they didn’t know what form the attack took. In their haste, they also couldn’t determine from which direction the attack came.
Huh!
The two demons instantly released a grayish mist that surrounded their bodies. Without a doubt, this was one of their defensive techniques.
“Hmph!”
Su Che sneered inwardly: The essence of Soul Slaying lies in cutting the intangible with the intangible—meaning that tangible defenses are basically ineffective against it. Since you’ve come up with such defenses, just wait to be struck!
