Chapter 233 Su Zhou's Mode of Action (7400, W update today, requesting monthly tickets~)

Su Zhou's breath was a high-temperature gale formed with the Azure Seed as its core, mixed with his own fire-elemental spiritual power. If it were replaced with Divine Thunder True Art, it would be a thunderous breath.

In theory, this kind of breath doesn't actually need to be kept in the mouth, but since it's called breath, let's just spray it out for now—anyway, he is indeed a sprayer, and when others think that blocking Su Zhou's mouth can block his breath, he will let the enemy know what floating cannons are.

The sub-sonic gale mixed with hundreds of degrees of heat instantly melted the ice cone after shattering it, turning it into a cloud of black mist. The black mist was blown away in an instant, revealing its essence—a cluster of vengeful spirits constantly emitting shrill howls.

The scorching gale continued unabated, bombarding the Duke's mansion's shield, causing it to ripple.

"...Mentor of the Dead?"

Because he saw this cluster of vengeful spirits, Su Zhou didn't even take the opportunity to pursue. He stared at the dissipating vengeful spirits, the figure and aura of the Shepherd flashed through his mind, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although this ice cone spell looked like a water spell on the surface, it was clear that its essence was a kind of vengeful spirit curse, giving him a familiar feeling: "Unlike the wood centipede, I really didn't expect to meet the main culprit so soon."

The enemy also didn't expect Su Zhou to stop. After the cursed ice cone, which was originally intended for a sneak attack, failed, they began to formally counterattack—twelve clusters of deep blue magic runes leaped up from the mansion, and they were connected layer by layer with the great array formation, forming sharp ice spike balls.

These spike balls were like flails embedded with nail teeth, each with a diameter of more than two meters. A thick, extremely cold frost aura was nurtured within them, causing a thick white mist to appear in the air—and in an instant, these ice spike balls, harder than steel, smashed down at Su Zhou one after another at a speed of two hundred meters per second!

Even an army of hundreds of people or a towering castle would be completely destroyed when faced with these 'frost meteors'!

However, just as these ice balls had flown six or seven meters, everyone around the lord's mansion, whether it was Elias, who was taking out magic scrolls from his arms, seemingly thinking about how to assist Su Zhou, or the De Lange mages in the Duke's mansion who were preparing the next spell, all sensed a sudden surge of intense killing intent.

Immediately afterward, Su Zhou's figure exploded directly. He shot from the ground like a cannonball and exceeded the speed of sound in the violent vibration.

And in this rapid movement, a flash of a blade passed by.

Boom! The magic shield around the Duke's mansion began to tremble violently when it came into contact with this supersonic shock wave. The windows of the surrounding residences, and even the surrounding floors, shattered one after another like dominoes. Before the shock wave created such a commotion, the scorching blade light had already cut through the atmosphere. When facing it, the ice spike balls that came flying were all rapidly melting like ice cream next to a stove. The seemingly solid Duke's mansion's shield was as fragile as foam, and a huge gap was cut open.

"Ahhh!" Instantly, within the lord's mansion, mages who were maintaining the shield screamed. They clutched their heads, their legs weakened, and they rolled to the ground in pain. The intense pain was like inserting a sharp knife smeared with chili water into their fingernail crevices, stimulating their entire bodies' nerves.

"That blade, that blade has the effect of destroying souls!" Someone noticed the effect of Su Zhou's weapon and warned while enduring the severe pain: "Don't use soul magic against him!"

But the effects of the Death Ender Blade are numerous. It can not only destroy souls, but also demolish houses.

Su Zhou, who was going all out, was now flying in mid-air, attacking the Duke's mansion from a high position. He wielded a five-foot-long blade in his hand, wantonly releasing his and the Divine Blade's spiritual power. With the blade as the core, a semi-transparent light flame blade more than ten meters long seemed to condense into a solid form. When a blade was slashed down, it could directly smash several walls, like destroying a castle built of blocks, and incidentally set it ablaze with golden-red flames.

Su Zhou's Evil Devouring Demonic Fire has no temperature. It only causes self-destructing items to become similar to burning ashes after being excessively strengthened. However, the Death Ender Blade's flames have a starting temperature of as high as 1,500 degrees Celsius, enough to melt even metal and warp it.

In just three seconds, Su Zhou, wielding the blade at supersonic speed, had swung the blade eleven times, creating vertical and horizontal cuts on the Duke's mansion—he wasn't just attacking randomly. Su Zhou could sense a dark black curse aura in the area where each blade struck. There must be a Transcendent of the mysterious organization stationed there.

Around the blade marks, magical traps and spells were exploding. The battle position that had been fully prepared was now being cracked by the simplest and most brutal methods. Even Elias, who was hiding in a corner and couldn't bear to look directly at it, had to admit that this was indeed the best way to crack it.

"Just who are you?!"

At this time, the enemy, huddled inside the Duke's mansion, finally realized a fact: that the one fighting them was not a member of the Nesser family or someone related to Nesser City. The former would definitely not destroy their ancestral home, which they had lived in and repaired for thousands of years, and the latter would instinctively not destroy this city landmark that symbolized prestige.

Their enemy had nothing to do with these and naturally had no scruples—not to mention the Duke's mansion, if there was a real need, he would probably even destroy this sanctuary city!

"Just a kind-hearted person passing by, remember that!"

Subconsciously replying loudly, Su Zhou took a deep breath at this time—nearly two hundred Azure Seeds surrounded him, forming a tight hurricane armor, like an ancient armored knight.

At the same time, at the core of the Duke's mansion, a vast magic power reaction also rose. In the very center of the mansion, the deep blue water-elemental magic that suddenly lit up seemed to form a sun, releasing a blue light that was enough to illuminate half the city.

In the next instant, a huge deep blue three-fingered giant hand rose from the blue light and grabbed towards Su Zhou!

The firelight derived from the Death Ender Blade was actually extinguished by the suppression of this majestic water-elemental spiritual power. At this time, it could already be seen that a giant with sharp teeth and a body composed of tide-like spiritual power had broken through the walls and ceiling of the lord's mansion and was slowly rising.

This giant was more than thirty meters tall, covered in carapace like crabs and lobsters. Its strength was impressively at the High-Rank Transcendent level. As soon as it appeared, extremely humid rain clouds began to slowly condense on the top of the Duke's mansion, which had already collapsed by half. Members of the mysterious organization who were originally stationed within were fleeing in panic from this crumbling building, completely losing the courage to confront Su Zhou.

"Tidal Giant!"

At this time, seeing this scene, Elias, who was watching from the sidelines, let out a painful groan: "It seems that this is De Lange's trump card—but you guys really have no scruples when you fight!"

In fact, only Su Zhou had no scruples. De Lange clearly didn't want to destroy his magic array. The old mage with long, dark green seaweed hair was now located in the very center of the Tidal Giant. The silver sapphire ring on his hand was flashing with dazzling magical light, and a thick crack had already appeared on it.

"Listen, if you leave now, we can be at peace. If you are coveting the wealth of the Nesser family, then we can give you enough of a share!"

At this time, he was issuing a final warning to Su Zhou. The mage still held a glimmer of fantasy: "We have no interest in this city. After we get what we want, with your strength, you can completely come here to be the new Duke!"

Although it was persuasion on the surface, it was actually just a trick to distract the enemy. The giant's palm, grabbing towards Su Zhou, was now surging with thick torrents of water with a diameter of five meters. Like a high-pressure water gun, it transformed into a surging tide at sub-sonic speed and burst towards Su Zhou.

When the surging high-speed waves collide with other objects, they are harder than steel, and the higher the flow rate of the waves, the faster their pressure decreases. The low pressure generated by this sub-sonic burst of water caused it to boil at room temperature, producing a large number of explosive steam shock waves.

The sea tide, which can both be soft and hard, and can boil and explode, is the most terrifying weapon in the giant's hands. Even the huge deep-sea lizard whales cannot escape and can only be hunted.

But Su Zhou had blocked him out after replying. Not to mention soul communication, it would be useless even if he spoke Chinese loudly—so, facing the enemy's targeted sea tide attack, the scorching flames on Su Zhou's body suddenly turned, transforming into exploding azure-blue lightning without any stagnation.

Coincidentally, it was at this time that the auras of two other Elite-tier beings simultaneously rose from the other end of the city and outside the mortal world. Without a doubt, those were the other two Elite-tiers of the mysterious force in Elias's words. They were coming at full speed, wanting to encircle Su Zhou.

Even if De Lange, who had used a divine artifact, could not defeat the other party, he could definitely hold him back. At that time, even if this passing wilderness walker's strength was beyond imagination, they would definitely be able to maintain the advantage by besieging him.

However, Su Zhou's speed would turn their so-called encirclement into a futile effort. Facing the oncoming sea tide torrent, the young man who was controlling thunder and gales revealed a hearty sneer. Immediately afterward, he gripped the Divine Blade that was also beginning to flash with violent thunder, and his whole person seemed to transform into lightning, charging towards the core of the Tidal Giant with the Azure Seed Armor.

Boom! The air was deforming under the trampling of tremendous force. The Azure Armor, operating at full power, created a violent shock wave, sweeping away fiercely. Under Su Zhou's counter-impact, the giant wave, which was enough to penetrate reefs, shattered in an instant, turning into a sky full of raindrops, and azure-blue arcs were intersecting and flashing among the countless raindrops.

"How can an Elite-tier be so strong?!"

De Lange's pupils contracted, forming an extremely strange wavy shape. He had just been casting the next spell and had not anticipated that someone could directly block the Tidal Giant's fierce attack—but there was no time to think about it. Su Zhou, who was riding the gales, rushing forward, and attacking with flames and thunder, had arrived at the core of the Tidal Giant. He slashed with his blade, cutting off its head, and then kicked out, kicking the old mage's head into the ground like an athlete kicking a soccer ball with great force.

"Eh."

The illusion of the Tidal Giant, condensed from water spiritual power, had already collapsed into a sky full of water mist. Although it was powerful, its weakness was also obvious. As long as the controller could not control it for a moment, it would dissipate. However, Su Zhou let out a light "eh," obviously noticing something was wrong: "With this kick, I could have kicked an iron ball to pieces, but that guy's head was only kicked away. It feels like kicking a glob of non-Newtonian fluid."

De Lange's strength was not bad. Unlike the previous armored soldier, he was strong enough to condense a Wraith Soul. Su Zhou didn't see the other party's Wraith Soul, so he naturally knew that he wasn't dead. Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly raised his blade again. Azure-blue lightning spread through the water mist, condensing into flashing magnetic storm arcs, searching for the old mage's location.

At this time, De Lange's head had already transformed into a ball of water. Just as Su Zhou thought, he was not dead. The head, which had been spiritualized, now formed a peculiar slurry that was nearly immune to physical attacks, and it could also rapidly regenerate by absorbing water—the water mist condensing around the Duke's mansion was the raw material for his self-regeneration. It could be seen that his body had already recondensed for the most part, only like a phantom, like a ghost condensed from water.

"No, this inexplicable wilderness walker is ridiculously strong, almost like the Grand Duke at the peak of the Elite-tier before his death—I can't fight head-on, I have to wait until Seth and Alfonso arrive before I can fight him!"

Even in a great disadvantage, De Lange was still thinking seriously. Tentacles had appeared around his body, like a giant octopus—this was its true form. The human form was just a disguise, and these tentacles were twisted into the shape of a drill, with water flowing around them, beginning to rotate rapidly.

It wasn't planning to appear on the surface and was directly digging a hole to hide underground, until its reinforcements arrived before considering a counterattack.

But the enemy's combat skills were high, and Su Zhou's combat skills were even higher. The aura on his body suddenly turned again, transforming into a raging blaze.

Rapidly landing on the ground, Su Zhou thrust his hand back, inserting the Death Ender Blade, which had already begun to turn golden-red, into the earth. The surging firepower evaporated the moisture in the damp ground, causing it to dry up and crack, and a desperate, seemingly severely injured wail came from the ground.

Soon, a bizarre humanoid creature, like a mix of an octopus and a human, shot out from the hole from which hot steam was constantly pouring out. Its body was completely composed of a blue liquid and a semi-transparent spiritual body, which could immune most physical attacks.

But such a body was now constantly evaporating and shrinking under the high-temperature firepower, until it had shrunk to the size of a fist when Su Zhou pulled out the Death Ender Blade and slowly approached it, and a light blue Wraith Soul floated on the surface.

It was dead.

Collecting the Wraith Soul, Su Zhou slightly sensed the two Elite-tier auras in the distance that were beginning to hesitate. He smiled, took off again, and rapidly flew towards the enemy in the city closest to him.

At this time, the residents living around also noticed this series of rapid confrontations. They cautiously opened their doors and were shocked to see that the Duke's mansion, which stood in the center of the city and had suffered countless Wraith Soul raids, monster sieges, and even direct attacks by flying monsters for thousands of years without the slightest damage, had now collapsed for the most part. The remaining ones had also been baptized by thunder and fire, becoming charred black.

"Did someone just attack the Duke's mansion?"

"Could it be that the Duke's heir has returned?!"

"But isn't the Nesser family good at water flow and earth elements? What lit up just now was clearly fire and lightning, right?"

"What should we do? Should we put out the fire? If the fire spreads, the surrounding area will be burned!"

"Do you dare to go? Huh… the fire is out?"

At this time, Elias cast an invisibility spell on himself, and then hurriedly cast a spell, using water to extinguish the flames on the Duke's mansion—at this time, he no longer felt that Su Zhou needed to be careful. Judging from the other party's strength, even if three people besieged him, they would probably be beaten to a pulp. On the contrary, he needed to be careful, lest he be killed by the aftermath.

"I seem to have accidentally found an extraordinary powerhouse…" At this time, Elias's mood was quite complicated. Not because the Duke's mansion was mostly destroyed. It was indeed half destroyed, but the secret treasure was not in the mansion, but in the underground vault.

What really made his mood complicated was the details that Su Zhou revealed in the battle: "Although he looks extremely violent when fighting, in fact, neither the Tidal Giant's water flow nor his own attacks affected the surrounding civilians at all—otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to forcibly withstand the Tidal Giant's waves, he could have flashed past them and eliminated De Lange faster!"

"This wilderness walker actually values the lives of ordinary people so much? It's clearly the end of the world, and even those ordinary people themselves probably wouldn't care so much."

At this time, Su Zhou felt unprecedentedly good.

"This feeling of eliminating evil is really great."

Although Su Zhou did use various methods to punish evil on Earth, he often took a team to cooperate with the official Transcendents in various places and took action to subdue the powerful Transcendent criminals who appeared everywhere.

That was really too simple of a thing—Su Zhou didn't even remember the names of the criminals he subdued, or what their abilities were. Because he only needed to walk over, stretch out his hands, and then shake the other party's head to easily subdue them.

But he couldn't eliminate them. Because killing criminals who had not been sentenced was not within Su Zhou's responsibility. His job did not include judgment and execution.

At this moment, Su Zhou could see another Elite-tier Transcendent on the street, a knight covered in armor that resembled a carapace. He held a three-section flail in his hand, and each of the spiked hammerheads of the flail was engraved with cursed runes that gave people a chilling feeling.

The evil thoughts on this knight's body had completely condensed into pure black, almost like the demon generals in the Divine Wood World who had killed and eaten countless people. He didn't know what he had done to be entangled by such evil thoughts. When he noticed Su Zhou rapidly approaching him from mid-air, the knight's eyes hidden behind the helmet narrowed slightly. He felt an unprecedented pressure suddenly descend on him, as if it was pressing down on him and making it difficult for him to breathe.

However, years of combat experience prevented the knight from shrinking back because of such pressure. On the contrary, precisely because the pressure was strong, he could explode with his hidden power under the pressure! Facing Su Zhou, who was swooping down, the knight stood firmly, going all out. He raised the flail, aimed it at the direction of Su Zhou's head, and swung it decisively!

This knight also had a divine artifact, which was the gauntlet he was holding tightly in his hand. The gauntlet, made from the skin of a giant, was activated with the infusion of magic power, and instantly unleashed the giant's power that was enough to lift a hundred tons of boulders.

At the same time, the knight's strangely structured arm, simulating a mantis shrimp, also began to accumulate power, and then burst out fiercely!

Boom!

The two forces cooperated with each other. Under the knight's control, he swung the flail, directly piercing through the air and exceeding the speed of sound. The intense friction even generated electric sparks in the air, and the three hammerheads of the flail were like three meteors, tearing through the atmosphere while rapidly condensing enormous power, flashing with dim magical light!

In the atmosphere, scorching high-temperature and high-pressure gas clusters burst open. The three hammerheads created a vacuum separately and then tore them apart separately. This was a divine power that even the Tidal Giant could not stop. The flail strike could not even be stopped by the city walls and would be directly smashed!

"With this strike, I have exerted my peak!"

When making this strike, the knight named Seth felt an indescribable sense of enlightenment in his heart. He felt that he had connected all the Transcendent organs in his body, allowing his power to be exerted perfectly—he was only one step away from the peak of the Elite-tier. In this way, even under His Majesty's command, he would probably be…

But his thoughts stopped at this moment.

Because Su Zhou also burst out with all his strength. He gripped the Death Ender Blade tightly, and the flame blade, which spanned dozens of meters, exploded, igniting half of the Nesser City's sky. He used faster speed, greater power, and a better weapon to directly shatter the high-temperature gas cluster created by the knight's flail swing with a simple and brutal method, shattering his condensed magic power flow, shattering his flail, his arm, and his armor and chest.

Pfft—light blue blood spurted out wildly, but Seth did not die in this strike. His armor was also an ancient relic. After Su Zhou broke through his attack and weapon with a frontal slash, he also cut through his armor, but the remaining power was not enough to tear apart the body of a High-Rank Transcendent professional.

"I can't beat him!" Without hesitation, taking advantage of Su Zhou's power, Seth endured the severe pain and turned around to run as his entire body flew backward.

But Su Zhou's speed was even faster. He landed on the ground, stepped on the ground with force, and immediately a wave like an earthquake began to make most of the street tremble. The bricks rose and fell like waves, and in the next instant, Su Zhou had exerted his strength and caught up with Seth.

At this moment, Su Zhou's heart was truly incomparably happy!

In another world, facing evil people felt completely different from being on Earth—although he could use various methods to punish criminal offenders on Earth, it was too much of a hassle.

Now, he only needed to draw his blade—he only needed to swing his blade!

Although he had become the Transcendent representative supported by the Zheng Nation, a professor at the Diligence Academy, and the captain of the Security Bureau's special operations force, Su Zhou felt that he was still a little less free.

"Everything you say will be used as evidence in court."

Arriving later but arriving first, catching up with Seth, who was running away with all his strength, Su Zhou laughed loudly and swung his blade, cutting him down to the ground in the other party's desperate eyes: "But how can this kind of rhetoric compare to 'I will cut you into pieces at this moment', which is simple and true!"

Bang! Seth's body fell heavily to the ground, divided into two halves with his chest as the dividing point, and light blue blood soaked the street.

"Behind us is God!"

His spine was directly severed, and his lungs were filled with uncontrolled blood. Seth didn't die for a while, but he couldn't speak. His soul was scorched by the soul-burning power of the Death Ender Blade, emitting an incomparably painful wail.

This knight cursed Su Zhou: "You wilderness walker who doesn't know anything, doesn't know our noble purpose at all… You are destined to sink into the cold sea abyss, accompanied by silt and sewage!"

"There's a god behind you? I have a snake on my head."

Su Zhou had always been disdainful of this kind of threat. He should have also blocked the knight, but obviously, the other party was about to die, so there was no need. Su Zhou should have this bit of mercy: "What noble purpose can't be said properly and explained properly? Do you need to interrogate, kill, and hang people on the gallows?"

He stabbed the blade into Seth's head and sneered: "Any purpose that can't be said out loud will never have anything to do with nobility."

Unfortunately, Seth couldn't hear Su Zhou's words.

A light blue Wraith Soul appeared. He was dead.

At this time, outside the city in the distance, the aura of the last Elite-tier had disappeared. That ranger had run away when he saw that the situation was not good—but Su Zhou had always been a perfectionist. He liked things to be 'clean'.

The so-called cleanliness was to kill all the enemies and purify all the villains, leaving no one behind, which was the so-called complete eradication.

Therefore, he did not stop at all, but directly flew up again, turning the wind resistance of the Azure Armor into a shape similar to a cannonball, and rapidly flew towards the direction where the ranger disappeared before the surrounding people and Elias, who had rushed over, could react.

An hour later, Su Zhou, who was uninjured, flew back to Nesser City with a somewhat gruesome fish-man corpse—that was the ranger's true form—and at this time, Elias had already begun to gather people in the square, giving a speech as the Duke's heir, saying that he would reorganize the entire order of the sanctuary city.

"Look, this is the hero who has eliminated the enemy for us and returned order to Nesser City!"

Although Elias was still young, he was already a qualified leader who was good at inspiring people under the education of the Duke's family. After Su Zhou landed in the square, he directly stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Zhou in a fanatical tone, focusing the attention on the young man.

The corpse that Su Zhou brought caused an uproar of cheers from the people—during the half a year that the unknown organization had occupied Nesser City, everyone was in danger, and people were dragged out to be extorted or even killed for fabricated reasons from time to time, and there would always be relatives and friends among those people.

The corpses of the dead were located outside the Duke's mansion, hanging on the gallows in a string. Every time they saw these corpses, everyone's hatred would surge. Before, they could not vent it and could only remain silent, but now they could make their voices heard, turning into cheers and curses, and flowing tears.

Although Su Zhou looked expressionless on the surface, his slightly raised mouth could reflect his true mood.

Su Zhou, the time he descended into the other world was 9:37 AM, local time.

The current time is 7:45 PM, local time.

In the tenth hour of entering the other world, the unknown evil organization that occupied a sanctuary city was destroyed.

Throughout the whole process, Su Zhou didn't know the other party's name, their purpose, or what their organization was called—but that was enough, because he knew that he was here to kill them all.

And this was Su Zhou's usual mode of action.

I feel like my condition has recovered a bit!
