Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang turned his head to look, only to see the Second City Lord lying nearby on the brink of death, looking as if he was about to die.

He looked at the Great City Lord and the Third City Lord next to him. Although they looked a bit disheveled, they were still standing straight, without a trace of danger.

”Get lost!” Su Yang cursed impatiently. This Second City Lord, what a weirdo, is so good at acting! Are you running for an acting award?

Upon hearing Su Yang’s words, the Second City Lord was somewhat agitated, immediately jumping up: ”Brother, aren’t you too biased? They are all alive and well, you let them drink Spiritual Liquid directly. I’m about to die, and you tell me to get lost? Is this how you act as a big brother?”

”Scram!” Su Yang curtly told him again.

”...” The Second City Lord wanted to say more, but was slapped down by the Great City Lord.

”Behave!” The Great City Lord glared at him.

The Second City Lord mumbled a few words, but in the end, he couldn’t say anything. He himself felt he was in the wrong.

After the four in front drank the Spiritual Liquid for a while, the light around them gradually dissipated; it was the Divine Artifact withdrawing its power.

Su Yang was a bit regretful. If this light could continue, the Divine Artifact could have been repaired more. However, as soon as the Divine Artifact sensed no life-threatening danger among the four, it withdrew its power, unable to continue the repairs.

Of course, the four could also utilize the Divine Artifact’s power, but the problem is, doing so would only release the power without retrieving it back. Thus, there was no way to repair the Divine Artifact that way. Therefore, it must be under such circumstances to repair the Divine Artifact.

Looking at the injuries on the four, Su Yang asked, ”How is it?”

”It’s fine, we can hold on for a while longer!” Mahakaya replied, being considered the weakest among the four. If he could continue, then obviously there wouldn’t be an issue for the others.

Su Yang nodded and led the group onward.

After walking another half kilometer, the four finally couldn’t withstand it any longer.

Or rather, if Su Yang hadn’t timely pulled them back, the bones of the four would have been shattered.

The four also sensed the danger, summoning the Divine Artifacts to guard their surroundings.

At first, they intended to use the Divine Artifacts for protection, but after summoning them, the hurricane here became even more violent, as if all the innermost hurricanes were bursting out.

Su Yang’s expression changed; he hadn’t anticipated such a situation. Apparently, these Divine Artifacts could indeed provoke a backlash from Storm Valley’s power, something Su Yang hadn’t considered before.

”Retreat!” Su Yang shouted in a low voice. The group rapidly withdrew, while Su Yang also made them put their Divine Artifacts away.

After the Divine Artifacts were put away, the power of Storm Valley returned to calmness, no longer as violent as before.

Su Yang let out a sigh of relief, realizing that he still knew too little about Storm Valley. Inside this place, it’s too dangerous to summon the Divine Artifacts.

”Alright, let’s leave it like this for now.” Su Yang said, ”Your limit is the position before this. You can only reach this place. Remember, at the first sign of danger, immediately drink the Spirit Liquid Essence. And do not summon the Divine Artifacts, this will trigger a backlash from Storm Valley’s power!”

The four nodded, fully aware of the situation just now, so they didn’t doubt Su Yang’s words at all.

”Now you four continue your cultivation, I will go ahead and take a look!” Su Yang said.

The four stayed behind, and Su Yang turned to the three Crystal Skulls beside him: ”Let’s go!”

The Second City Lord was stunned for a moment: ”Where to?”

”Continuing deeper inside!” Su Yang said.

”Huh?” Flames flickered in the eye sockets of the Second City Lord: ”Going deeper? For what? What are we doing? Weren’t we supposed to be cultivating here?”

”You cultivate your uncle!” Su Yang cursed: ”Hurry up, less nonsense!”

”I...” The Second City Lord wanted to say more, but seeing that the Great City Lord and Third City Lord had already followed Su Yang, he immediately fell in line behind them. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice. Who made him the boss, anyway?

Su Yang looked at the Great City Lord beside him, once they reached the depths, the Great City Lord noticeably fell silent, as if pondering or reminiscing about something.

Su Yang didn’t know what exactly the identity of these three Crystal Skulls before their deaths was, but undoubtedly, they must have had a connection with the World Melting Furnace. Now, leading them through the Storm Valley, it might also help them recall something.

Of course, the main reason Su Yang brought them along was still to see where the limits of these three Crystal Skulls lie.

Logically speaking, the strength of these three Crystal Skulls should be slightly stronger than that of the four Beigong War God, but not by much.

Yet, once they reached the previous place, the four Beigong War Gods couldn’t hold on at all, while these three appeared disheveled but were unharmed. This intrigued Su Yang greatly, prompting him to take these three fellows for a trial, perhaps discovering something new.

Not long into the journey, the flesh on Su Yang’s body had also vanished, becoming skeletal like the three companions.

Four skeletal frameworks walking through the storm, as the gusts wrapped around them, producing creaking sounds like saws grinding on their bones.

Su Yang kept watch over the state of these three companions. He could withstand this, but he was worried they couldn’t. At any sign of them being unable to hold on, he would rescue them instantaneously.

Though unreliable, Su Yang wouldn’t let them perish here.

The result showed Su Yang’s worries were unnecessary.

The three companions followed him tirelessly, making it to the end, entering the Spirit Liquid Lake inside the valley without life-threatening situations.

Though the further they went, their steps turned laborious, the pressure increased, unlike Su Yang’s relatively easeful pace. Such resilience through Storm Valley stunned Su Yang.

Su Yang suspected something special about these three companions but hadn’t imagined they could endure Storm Valley, a mortal peril ground. Their body’s resilience astounded him.

The three companions entered the Spirit Liquid Lake, pausing initially, before the Second City Lord exclaimed jubilantly: ”Wow, there’s a Spirit Liquid Lake here too? Oh my, I never knew, had I known here also had a Spirit Liquid Lake, we could’ve fetched some instead of risking trips to the Heavenly Sect! Come on, let’s get the gourds out, we’re gonna clean this place dry…”

Su Yang immediately got a forehead full of black lines, suddenly questioning if bringing these three here was a mistake!
