Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Failure of the Escape Technique

Su Chengyu and the others’ complexions changed greatly as they sensed that something was wrong, knowing that things had evolved toward the worst possible scenario.

The Demon Clan that had found them only consisted of four groups, but in this vast area, it was clear that many members of the Demon Clan were searching for their tracks.

Just as the three revealed their presence, those Demons who had not found a target finally homed in on them and surged toward the trio.

Su Chengyu’s expression shifted slightly as he immediately prepared to face the enemy, but after Yihe’s Divine Sense swept the surroundings, he made a decisive command, "Su Chengyu, you go first. I will hold them off by myself."

Su Chengyu turned his head unexpectedly to look at Yihe, scarcely believing that Yihe would make such a decision. The overly kind gesture made it hard for Su Chengyu not to think more of it.

"Hmph, you think I want to? That Demon Monarch is also hastening this way. Once you are exposed before him, it will be too late to escape!"

In that instant, Yihe’s Divine Sense had also detected the aura of the Demon Monarch who was pursuing them. After the three of them had willingly exposed themselves, the pursuer had completely stopped hiding and was rapidly approaching.

Having had several encounters with warriors from the Hollow Realm before, Su Chengyu understood that being targeted by such powerful beings meant likely misfortune, and he didn’t put on any false pretenses.

"Then, my thanks to you, Lord Jiugui. Be careful not to die," Su Chengyu said.

Yihe laughed coldly, "If I weren’t covering your retreat, could he have caught me? Just be careful yourself, and don’t die here!"

With that said, Su Chengyu no longer hesitated, and taking Yu Yanshu with him, he immediately employed the Shadow Escape Technique and submerged underground.

Though Su Chengyu’s previous uses of the Shadow Escape Technique had not completely shaken off his opponents, he had been facing the powerhouses of the Hollow Realm after all.

Without the Hollow Realm warriors, it was still an easy task for Su Chengyu to elude these ordinary members of the Demon Clan using this method.

Su Chengyu, fleeing swiftly underground, couldn’t care less about where he was heading; his only thought was to leave this place of trouble as quickly as possible.

Yihe, who was nearby, was startled by the fleeting presence of Su Chengyu. He truly hadn’t expected Su Chengyu to have such a high-level life-saving technique.

However, once he confirmed that Su Chengyu was safe, he let out a sigh of relief. Given that Su Chengyu had such a means of preservation, the amount of time he had to buy for him was much less.

After all, it was a Shadow level Escape Technique; even for someone from the Hollow Realm, tracking it would be no easy task.

What Yihe hadn’t anticipated, however, was that from the very start, all their actions had been under the watchful eye of someone else.

"My lord, is that man one of the targets of His Majesty the Emperor?" a Demon Monarch hiding in the shadows asked the figure next to him on the mountain wall.

"Yes, the man from Xia Country. I thought we would have to search for where he was, but I did not expect him to come to us directly," the shadowy figure replied.

The young Demon Monarch asked in confusion, "My lord, why would this Xia Citizen come to Mount Fuji? Isn’t stepping onto Mount Fuji seeking death for someone merely at the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Inside Mount Fuji, which was Demon Clan territory, not only Xia Citizens, even those from Dongying entering without permission would likely face great peril.

"Doesn’t matter, just kill him," the shadow indifferently dropped these words. Upon hearing of intruders, he had personally come with the news. Nevertheless, on discovering it was Su Chengyu, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

What the shadow cared about more were Long Xuan and Ye Qingci, those two hot potatoes.

The young demon lord, upon hearing the shadowy figure’s words, felt a shock through his heart and tentatively spoke, "Sir, are you planning to kill Ye Qingci?"

The shadow turned its head and glanced at the young demon lord, "Yes, I had heard that there was a human female here and thought it was Ye Qingci who had intruded, which is why I brought you here in person. It would’ve been a good opportunity for you to handle it yourself, pity..."

The young demon lord immediately knelt on the ground, "Your intention is more than enough for me, sir. Please, leave the killing of Ye Qingci to me!"

The shadow sneered, "When you were creating chaos in Xia Country back then, Ye Qingci was just a little child, wasn’t she? Do you truly hold such a grudge against the Demon Slayer Department?"

The young demon lord was none other than the Ping Shan Demon, whom Ye Qingci had been seeking for a long time.

With gritted teeth and tightly clenched fists, the Ping Shan Demon said, "The Demon Slayer Department destroyed my youthful foundation, Su Zhedian cut off my path to immortality! I naturally yearn to tear their flesh from their bones!"

The shadow chuckled lightly, "I wish you luck then. I’ve heard Ye Qingci’s appearance isn’t bad, she should taste quite good. But before you go after Ye Qingci, why not kill this Xia Citizen here first?"

"Yes!"

The Ping Shan Demon turned his head, his gaze locking onto Su Chengyu who was desperately escaping beneath the ground.

The shadow suddenly sensed something, and its eyes shifted, "I have other matters to attend to and must leave for a while. Inform me immediately if anything comes up."

Leaving behind these cold words, the shadow leaned against the wall and soon completely merged with it, leaving no trace behind.

After the shadow had left, the Ping Shan Demon finally revealed the sharp fangs at the corner of his mouth, a single step kicking up numerous pebbles as he launched himself directly towards the fleeing Su Chengyu underground!

"Qi Covering Mountains and Rivers!"

Boom!

A heavy and forceful blow smashed right down onto the ground. The ground around Su Chengyu was immediately compressed, pressing in on him and the sudden change in pressure forced him to halt in place.

As Su Chengyu’s face turned pale with shock, before he could make any response, another vicious surge of energy assailed him, aiming for his head to crush down!

"Splitting Mountains and Earth!"

This hit directly shattered the ground; the powerful Demon Qi tore through the soil and landed straight onto Su Chengyu’s face.

Trapped underground with nowhere to hide, Su Chengyu could only bring out the Heaven-Mending Stone and fully activate the True Dragon Armor. Despite the additional protection afforded by these two powers, the blow still left Su Chengyu feeling a blockage in his chest, and he spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Oh? Still alive? As a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, to survive a blow from your grandpa, you should be proud. Tell grandpa your name."

"I am your grandpa!"

Su Chengyu bellowed, deploying the Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique. Rumbling thunders surged from all directions toward the demon lord in front of him, as he himself attempted to use the Shadow Escape Technique to flee the scene once again.

However, as he once more channeled his Mana into the Shadow Escape Amulet, this amulet, which had saved Su Chengyu’s life twice before, crumbled into dust and dissipated into the air.

The Shadow Escape Amulet, already limited in the number of times it could be used, had finally degraded beyond repair after several instances of excessive use by Su Chengyu. The last breath of energy on the amulet escaped its confines and returned to where it belonged.

Witnessing this scene, the Ping Shan Demon casually deflected the thunders summoned by Su Chengyu, and smilingly said.

"What’s the matter? Has your escape trick failed you? Is it time to stop struggling and quietly die at your grandpa’s hand? Don’t worry, I am always gentle with Xia Citizens."
