Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: The Power of Merit

Facing a Second-Class Monster Emperor, the True Dragon Treasure Technique and God Phoenix Treasure Technique were indeed sufficient to injure the opponent.

But he was clear that to achieve a one-hit kill, he would still need to rely on the power of the Wasteland Sky Halberd.

This time, it was the first time Su Chengyu felt the halberd working so smoothly in his hands since he had formed a covenant with it.

The violent Qi of Slaughter was perfectly avoided from Su Chengyu himself by the control of the Wasteland Sky Halberd’s Artifact Spirit, and also imposed immense pressure on Zhu Xie.

If Zhu Xie had been questioning how Su Chengyu could oppose him just a moment before, he now fully understood that the person in front of him, who appeared to be merely at the Golden Core Realm, was not only qualified to be his enemy but also had the ability to kill him!

Under these life-threatening dangers, Zhu Xie’s overheated brain finally began to cool down.

Wielding the Wasteland Sky Halberd, Su Chengyu’s aura was astonishing, but it was definitely not an easy task to manipulate an Immortal Artifact at the Golden Core Realm.

Two strikes, no... there should only be one strike.

Zhu Xie made his judgment, as long as he could block one strike, at worst he could escape from this place, and might even have a chance to counter-kill.

Having made up his mind, Zhu Xie no longer cared about anything else, and instantly brought out a necklace made of countless human skulls.

The necklace radiated a golden light, immediately enveloping Zhu Xie from head to toe.

"The power of merit?"

Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised, although it was his first time seeing this golden radiance.

But based on the thick aura of karma emanating from it, he still recognized what this golden light was.

The power of merit was generally only used by Buddhist cultivators, not only possessing extremely strong offensive capabilities, but also having their unique advantages in breaking illusions and resisting attacks.

Su Chengyu did not expect that the first time he saw the power of merit, it would not be from a Buddhist but from a member of the Demon Clan.

"So be it! Let’s see how long your power of merit can last!"

Su Chengyu’s chilling words, without the slightest hesitation, unleashed the Wasteland Sky Halberd towards the golden light of Buddhism!

The golden Buddhist light halted the advance of the Wasteland Sky Halberd, the head of the halberd making a noticeable dent upon the power of merit.

"Break for me!"

Accompanied by Su Chengyu’s conscious roar, the Wasteland Sky Halberd erupted with a powerful impact once again, and the coherent Buddhist light shattered into countless fragments scattering in all directions the next moment.

"Impossible!"

Zhu Xie’s eyes turned bloodshot as he watched the scene before him, unwilling to believe.

He could never have imagined that his trump card protective Magic Artifact would be so easily shattered.

Just one strike!

He needed only one strike to turn the tables.

Now standing before Zhu Xie, Su Chengyu looked at him indifferently, seeing how Zhu Xie still couldn’t accept his defeat.

"There are no such things as impossibilities. In your view, all those incomprehensible things are simply because of your ignorance."

Pfft!

The Wasteland Sky Halberd pierced Zhu Xie’s body effortlessly, as if it were piercing through tofu.

Without the protection of the power of merit, Zhu Xie’s body was no different from being completely defenseless against the Wasteland Sky Halberd.

The Green Lotus Godfire instantly covered the halberd, quickly enveloping the true body of the Second-Class Monster Emperor!

"Ahhh!"

Accompanied by Zhu Xie’s heart-wrenching scream, this Second-Class Monster Emperor eventually met his demise.

Hua Qian, who had been standing by Yu Yanshu, was utterly shocked in her heart after watching the battle, and she looked at Yu Yanshu incredulously.

"Master’s strength, has it already reached the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Where could ordinary Golden Core cultivators have the power to slay a Monster Emperor?

Not to mention facing multiple opponents, with three other Golden Core cultivators assisting on the side.

"Realms have no meaning for Master,"

Yu Yanshu said calmly, but inside she was equally shocked.

She knew Su Chengyu possessed the power to confront those in the Nascent Soul Realm, but the combat strength he had demonstrated during this battle far exceeded Yu Yanshu’s imagination.

She was almost certain that if it weren’t for those three Golden Core cultivators distracting part of Su Chengyu’s attention,

from the start, Su Chengyu would have used all his methods. With the help of the Heaven-Mending Stone and Wasteland Sky Halberd, this second-class demon emperor wouldn’t have stood a chance to fight back against Su Chengyu.

In the sky, the life force of Zhu Xie had completely vanished. Su Chengyu waved his hand and directly drew the demon core into his grasp, then tossed it to the Heaven-Mending Stone.

Su Chengyu currently didn’t want to give the Heavenly Black Dragon Seal to the Heaven-Mending Stone, therefore he could only use this demon core as a substitute for the time being.

If you want the horse to run, how can you not let the horse eat grass?

The Heavenly Black Dragon Seal was something he was reluctant to part with at the moment; the only thing of value he had on hand was the demon emperor’s inner core.

"That’s more like it. Be careful; the noise earlier wasn’t small. If there are still Nascent Soul cultivators on the island, they might have sensed something,"

"Understood,"

Su Chengyu nodded lightly.

In fact, even if the Heaven-Mending Stone didn’t mention it, Su Chengyu would have been cautious of this.

On the other side, although the Dragon Slayer Sword was under his control and had slain one of the Golden Core cultivators, there was still one heavily wounded Golden Core cultivator who managed to escape.

Being able to gather these experts for an ambush against Su Chengyu, he did not doubt that the enemy had more manpower at their disposal; he had to tread carefully.

Concealing his aura, he returned to Hua Qian and Yu Yanshu’s side. Su Chengyu directly addressed Hua Qian,

"Can your divine skill that conceals aura cover others too?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qian immediately nodded and said, "As long as you stay close to me, it can achieve almost the same effect!"

Su Chengyu nodded and gestured for Hua Qian to begin.

He was indeed very appreciative of the Dragon Carp clan’s technique for concealing aura; if it weren’t for Yu Yanshu’s intuition, Su Chengyu might not even have noticed the presence of a demon clan member under the same roof.

With this divine skill, Su Chengyu was sure that even if the other party had the assistance of the demon clan, they would no longer be able to continue detecting his aura on the island.

After concealing their figures, Su Chengyu led the two away from the area quickly, to avoid any reinforcements from the enemy arriving.

Only after entering a stalactite cave did Su Chengyu stop and say, "Let’s rest here for a while."

Hua Qian nodded and immediately went to the entrance of the cave to use her divine skills, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

Yu Yanshu, who was beside Su Chengyu, asked, "Master, you’re not injured, are you?"

Su Chengyu shook his head, "Just a second-class demon emperor, not enough to pose a threat to me."

Zhu Xie’s methods were elementary, and he continuously underestimated Su Chengyu. By turning the tables, Su Chengyu could say that he dealt with Zhu Xie at the smallest cost.

"Master, who sent them?"

"I don’t know,"

Su Chengyu shook his head.

Although it looked as though they were after the Wasteland Sky Halberd, Su Chengyu always felt it wasn’t that simple.

An alliance between cultivators and the demon clan to pinpoint and track Su Chengyu’s whereabouts in the vastness of Xia Country didn’t seem like something ordinary cultivators could accomplish.

The Long family? The Luo Clan? Or the Yu Clan?

Or perhaps, is there more than just one family’s shadow behind this?

At this moment, Su Chengyu couldn’t be certain of the answer, but one thing he was sure of, the enemy’s assassination attempts were far from over.

It was even extremely likely that Zhu Xie, this second-class demon emperor, was merely a sacrificial piece they threw out to test Su Chengyu’s strength.

"This trip to Laisong Island may be more complicated than anticipated,"
