Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: Battle of the Shadow Level

As Su Chengyu, already prepared beneath him, watched closely, Shinazugawa Tengen’s pupils constricted. He had not expected Su Chengyu to discern where his true killing intent lay.

However, with the arrow already notched, there was no choice but to release it.

Without further hesitation, Shinazugawa Tengen attacked horizontally with the kunai in both hands, striking directly at Su Chengyu!

"Desolate Sky Battle Ground!"

It was still the first technique of the Wasteland Sky Halberd, but with the formation personally set up by Ye Qingci, its power was far beyond what Su Chengyu could muster on his own.

This formation was centered around Su Chengyu’s Sky-splitting Dragon Slayer, based on the True Dragon Treasure Technique and God Phoenix Treasure Technique, and, in practice, it didn’t enhance the power of the Wasteland Sky Halberd itself.

But was that necessary?

The Wasteland Sky Halberd was an Immortal Artifact!

In the hands of Su Chengyu, what it lacked was never power per se.

The biggest issue Su Chengyu had always faced when using the Wasteland Sky Halberd was the insufficiency of his mana. But now, within the formation, Su Chengyu was wielding not only his own mana but also a significant portion of the Nascent Soul Full Circle realm’s mana left behind by Ye Qingci!

Su Chengyu’s upward strike pierced through the stars!

Bang!

For the first time, the strike from such a superior Immortal Artifact was unleashed to such an extent in Su Chengyu’s hands; the vast mana completely engulfed Shinazugawa Tengen and, after transforming into a powerful repulsion force, sent him flying!

Flung sideways, Shinazugawa Tengen had no choice but to use the Shadow Escape Technique to awkwardly maintain his form in the air. After completely stopping, he still found it somewhat unbelievable as he said to Su Chengyu,

"How is this possible? How did you do it?"

"Don’t underestimate the power of an Immortal Artifact."

"That’s not what I’m talking about! I mean, how did you pinpoint my location?"

Shinazugawa Tengen spoke with great urgency.

He certainly understood that it was normal for him to be repelled by the might of the Immortal Artifact unleashed to such a degree.

But what Shinazugawa Tengen could not comprehend was how Su Chengyu, who was merely in the Nascent Soul Realm, could capture his movement.

Even with the support of the formation and despite Su Chengyu’s physical strength and reaction time surpassing that of an ordinary Nascent Soul, Shinazugawa Tengen could not accept that Su Chengyu was genuinely able to capture his motion.

After all, he was a ninja, a shadow-rank ninja unrivalled in all of Dongying, and in the matter of ambush, he did not believe anyone could do it better than him!

"Oh, you mean that? I have to thank your precious disciple of Demon Clan origins for that. Having been fortunate enough to see him use similar methods, when I saw you summon those two Spirit Beasts, I guessed you wouldn’t make your move that way."

Shinazugawa Tengen was surprised and finally understood, but he still found it somewhat unbelievable as he looked at Su Chengyu and said, "Are you gambling? Don’t you know what will happen to you if you guess wrong?"

In terms of strength, even ten Su Chengyus could not compare to Shinazugawa Tengen. Due to the huge gap in realms, even with the support of the formation, Su Chengyu could not afford to make any mistakes. If Shinazugawa Tengen seized just one opportunity, he was confident that even if he couldn’t kill Su Chengyu instantly, he would certainly be able to inflict serious damage or even break the formation!

And at that point, Su Chengyu would be no different from a dead man. He really could not understand why Su Chengyu would dare to take such action.

"So what if I am? Even so, I don’t want to do nothing."

Su Chengyu spoke coldly. In that moment when he lost sight of Shinazugawa Tengen, many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he chose this approach simply because he believed it had the greatest potential benefit for himself.

If he was going to gamble, he naturally chose to bet in the way that could yield the greatest return.

"Very well, very well. I never imagined you, of all people, could have survived this long. But eventually, your luck will be the death of you!"

"It’s a pity that the person who will end my good fortune doesn’t seem to be you."

Although the last strike did not completely disable Shinazugawa Tengen’s ability to fight, having taken the edge of the Immortal Artifact head-on, he indeed suffered a significant injury.

Even if Su Chengyu chose the most conservative way of fighting afterward, it would definitely not be something Shinazugawa Tengen could break through in a short amount of time.

Meanwhile, the tribulation of Ye Qingci had already passed the halfway mark.

Having withstood the third heavenly thunderbolt, she showed not the slightest sign of exhaustion; on the contrary, she seemed to become more vigorous as the battle progressed, her aura skyrocketing compared to the beginning of her tribulation, countless times stronger.

At this moment, Ye Qingci had one foot already stepping over the threshold of Hollow Vacuum, the other foot also moving toward that direction.

A successful tribulation seemed almost a certainty.

"Yihe! How much longer do you plan to watch? Even if you do nothing, I can still consider your actions treasonous!"

However, just as Su Chengyu thought everything would progress smoothly, a sudden remark from Shinazugawa Tengen tensed his nerves again.

Following that declaration, the hidden Jiugui of Yihe had no choice but to show himself, dressed in all black, he said to Shinazugawa Tengen, "Old man, don’t think that I would take your side just like that."

"What else do you want!"

Jiugui of Yihe looked at Shinazugawa with a smile and said, "If you promise to give me the opportunity to ascend to immortality all to myself, I may consider helping you."

Hearing this, Shinazugawa Tengen’s brow furrowed, but he did not immediately retort.

This action slightly shocked Su Chengyu; sensing that the situation was taking a bad turn, he immediately spoke up, "Your Excellency Yihe, even if he makes the offer now, you wouldn’t really trust him, would you?"

Yihe Jiugui glanced at Su Chengyu and said, "Mr. Su is indeed cautious. You’re right, this old man is certainly not trustworthy, so..."

"I can make a ninja oath of the heart, but you also promise me, after becoming an Earth Immortal, to stay loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

When Jiugui of Yihe heard the answer he wanted, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly in a satisfied smile, saying, "Agreed."

The sudden shift in the situation caught Su Chengyu off guard. He locked his brows and looked at Yihe Jiugui, saying, "Have you lost your mind? Do you really think that by killing me, you could find that so-called opportunity to ascend? How much do you understand about this Cave Heaven?"

Shinazugawa Tengen scornfully scoffed at Su Chengyu’s words, "So you understand a lot about this Cave Heaven?"

"Of course!"

Su Chengyu said without hesitation, and then suddenly brought out the Dragon Slayer, not hiding anything any longer, releasing the overwhelming power that clung to the Dragon Slayer into the surroundings!

As the aura from the Dragon Sword was detected, Shinazugawa Tengen’s expression showed astonishment, and Jiugui of Yihe was momentarily stunned. After confirming for several seconds, he finally spoke.

"Is this sword the personal weapon of Su Linyuan?"

Su Chengyu coldly responded, "Isn’t this proof enough that I know much more about this Cave Heaven than you do?"

Shinazugawa Tengen’s eyes darted around, and after a brief hesitation, he turned his gaze toward Shinazugawa Tengen, but before he could act.

Shinazugawa Tengen made the first move against Yihe Jiugui, a multitude of shurikens flying directly at Jiugui!

"Old man, you’re backstabbing me!"

Jiugui of Yihe immediately dodged the shurikens and exclaimed angrily.

"Strike first to gain the upper hand, or should I wait for you to attack me?"

Shinazugawa Tengen sneered as he spoke. The two Shadow-rank Ninjas, provoked by Su Chengyu, finally took opposite sides and began to fight each other in earnest.
