Chapter 0764: Eight Dark Immortals' Descent
For Wu Yu right now, every Dead Souls Net was worth pursuing .
It was also normal for demons to appear in places that he had already searched . After all, demons roamed freely as well .
Riding his Somersault Cloud, he charged over, reaching the site of his clone's death in the blink of an eye . And he indeed saw a sea region demon!
This demon was strange . It looked like a gorgeous tree, but was armed with many sharp tentacles . Growing up near the East Sea, Wu Yu naturally knew that this was a coral, but he did not know that coral could become demons .
This coral demon's speed was rather slow . Wu Yu needed some time to come over, but the demon had not yet fled yet, remaining where it originally was . Although he could not see his face upon his arrival, Wu Yu felt like something was strange . This coral demon looked off . Unnatural .
However, Wu Yu could still see the Dead Souls Net on it . This was enough for him .
Wu Yu quickly pulled out his advanced dao treasure . Holding the 10,000 Dragons Staff in his hand, he swung it towards the coral demon's head without hesitation .
The demon was terrified, and shrieked, "Don't kill me! Save me! I've already fulfilled my mission . Let me go!"
These were strange words . After hearing this, Wu Yu pulled himself back, right as he was above the coral demon's head .
However, he was too late .
He immediately realized that this was a trap . He should have expected it . Seeing how bold he was, the Dark North people must have been thinking of a way to deal with him .
"Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design! Eight Dark Immortals' Descent!"
This voice shook the entire area like a clap of thunder . It came from all around, as though there were yells from eight different directions .
Wu Yu vaguely heard familiar voices, such as Prince You Yan and Duan Yi’s .
When he thought about it, probably only Duan Yi and those others would be so anxious to get rid of him .
Actually, Wu Yu was very confident in himself . Therefore, even if he had an instant to escape, he chose not to take the opportunity .
However, the others still continued to create spirit designs, and Wu Yu understood that they were preparing to take him down .
This was definitely a fairly elite spirit design!
In this instant, eight shadowy giants appeared all around Wu Yu with a wave of seawater . The giants were armored, and cut imposing figures with their menacing frost energy . They had the bearing of immortals . When they appeared, all eight fixed their eyes on Wu Yu, pinning him down with pressure . These had to be the Eight Dark Immortals they had spoken of!
These Eight Dark Immortals all had ultimate mystiques . They were not easy to deal with, and they surrounded Wu Yu, creating spirit designs .
After they appeared, a violet formation appeared in a huge area, with Wu Yu at the center . It spun wildly, fusing with the Eight Dark Immortals . Wu Yu could feel a terrifying pressure assailing him from all sides . It was an extreme frost that not only chilled one's flesh, but also the Primordial Spirit . Especially the Primordial Spirit - it felt like it had been completely shut down . This was an alarming reaction . Wu Yu felt that its effect was to sever the connection between Primordial Spirit and body, isolating the two .
Such a spirit design was not just effective on Wu Yu . Even against experts at the Dao Querying Realm, it would have locked them down completely . Wu Yu was currently facing the brunt of this power, and he could clearly feel how fearsome this spirit design was .
Any ordinary person would have been a sitting duck here . And they were not going to just let this duck sit around .
After severing the Primordial Spirit from the physical body, it was sometimes difficult to command one's physical body . However, Wu Yu had been prepared . As soon as he sensed danger, he summoned the Somersault Cloud into his own body . Therefore, although the spirit design could cripple a majority of Wu Yu's mobility, it could not fully lock down Wu Yu's mystique . He had confidence that he could escape this spirit design and leave .
That was enough .
However, Wu Yu was still astonished that such a high-level spirit design would be employed against him . "This spirit design, even for their level, would take a few months to set up . Did they stop killing demons for these few months, all to create this trap for me?"
That seemed rather implausible .
In that case, Wu Yu guessed that they had used something else .
Seeing that Wu Yu was successfully trapped in the Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design, a person appeared above the heads of each of the Eight Dark Immortals . They had emerged from within the bodies of the Eight Dark Immortals, and Wu Yu had seen them all before many times . Their leader was Prince You Yan .
By right, this person was Wu Yu's better, but he had treated Wu Yu cruelly, and had now even set this trap against him . Wu Yu did not feel a single iota of gratitude towards him .
Seeing that their plan had worked, all eight smiled .
"Is this huge pomp and fuss meant to be an invitation for me to join your squad?" Wu Yu was completely calm, even mocking them . His ability to speak was testament that this spirit design had not fully locked down his Primordial Spirit . However, his body could not move, let alone employ dao techniques and mystiques . Luckily, the Somersault Cloud had already been used, and Wu Yu was simply lingering to hear what they had planned .
"Your time to die has arrived . Stop being such a hard mouth . " Duan Yi laughed coldly .
"Die? Impossible . This is the Dark North Battle for Supremacy, and there are 800,000 people watching . You wouldn't kill someone outright, would you?" Wu Yu asked, puzzled .
"This is the Dark North Kingdom . Against you, nothing is impossible," Prince You Yan retorted .
"Why? Can we not have a fair fight?" Wu Yu said .
They all roared with laughter .
"The more Dead Souls Nets you obtain, the more you humiliate the Dark North Kingdom . If you enter the top 10, the face of our entire Dark North Kingdom will be thrown away . Do you think that we won't kill you? Whether you live or die depends on whether you have enough control to ignite your Darkness Breaching Talisman . "
If he lit the Darkness Breaching Talisman now, they might not have the chance to kill Wu Yu .
"So that's how it is . " To them, Wu Yu seemed unafraid in the face of death, and would probably not cry until he was in the coffin .
"Duan Yi, I'll give you the opportunity to kill him," Prince You Yan said .
So he had given the chance to Duan Yi .
Firstly, he knew that Duan Yi wanted to kill Wu Yu the most .
Secondly, Duan Yi was the newest person in his group, and killing was a necessary part of proving his loyalty .
Thirdly, it was a sticky situation to kill someone here . He, Prince You Yan, wanted to enter the top 10 . If he were disqualified, then he would have to give up his chance . Duan Yi had no hope of reaching the top 10, so it would not be a problem for him to be disqualified . After he left, Prince You Yan could still protect him .
His provincial lord father would be all too ecstatic to earn the favor of Prince You Yan .
"I thank the Prince!" Duan Yi was moved . He curtsied to the Prince You Yan and then quickly made his way over to Wu Yu, appearing before him . A long, black spear had already appeared in his hand - his advanced dao treasure .
"Both you and I have advanced dao treasures . Today, I will use mine to send you to the next world - a fitting end for you . Princess You Xue is mine . Trying to snatch her from me was the biggest error of your life . Enjoy your last few moments . Wu Yu, see you in the next life . "
This was a rare opportunity, and he naturally wanted to decide this battle quickly . To him, even the slightest hesitation would be unforgivable .
"Sorry to disappoint you . Your spirit design might be very valuable, but it's far from being able to kill me . Sorry to have wasted your treasure . " Wu Yu had basically confirmed their reason and motivations through prolonging the exchange . He would definitely be more careful in the future .
That they would even expend such a spirit design on him showed him the strength of their resolve .
At this time, Duan Yi sent his long, black spear lancing punishingly towards Wu Yu's brow . He would have no more sleepless nights over him .
But all he faced was Wu Yu's grinning face . At the last moment, he used his Primordial Spirit's last vestige of control over his body to flip . To Prince You Yan's fury, Duan Yi's spear connected with nothing but air!
Wu Yu had escaped again .
It was as Wu Yu had said . Their Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design had been wasted . To Prince You Yan, preparing the Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design could have been equivalent to taking down a Dao Querying martial cultivator .
That was the level it was on .
All eight looked at each other .
"Prince, forgive me . I was inept . " Duan Yi hurriedly knelt in fear, his face pale . At the same time, his eyes welled with fury . Again, he was foiled by Wu Yu .
Prince You Yan knew that this had nothing much to do with Duan Yi . He had underestimated Wu Yu .
"It was I who made the mistake this time . " Prince You Yan's expression was hateful as he looked at the spot where Wu Yu had vanished . His killing intent flooded him again . What to do? The others were already dismayed . Even after bringing out such a valuable spirit design, they had not been able to capture Wu Yu . There was no other way .
Duan Yi thought about it . "I think it might be very difficult to force him out of the Dark North Battle for Supremacy now . He is too slippery, and has a myriad of ways to flee . But I have an idea that will make it difficult for him to continue accruing Dead Souls Nets at such speed . "
"Go on . "
"Isn't he using the clones to lure demons? Then we will just spread the word of this, and let all the demons know that this is a trap . Then there will be no more demons to take his bait . "
If they spoke loudly, their voices would travel far, so making this announcement would not be difficult .
