Chapter 2243: Chapter 2243
Su Yang didn't give him a chance to recover, swiftly attacking and forcing Tu Yuan to retreat.
Half an hour later, Tu Yuan's body was shattered again.
Tu Yuan escaped once more, hastily trying to heal his body. However, Su Yang continued his assault, slashing madly.
As a result, the frequency of Tu Yuan's body being shattered increased, and his situation became increasingly perilous.
Saints may be immortal, but that depends on circumstances.
Even someone as mighty as Human Emperor Xuanyuan was eventually killed. What hope does a new Saint like Tu Yuan have?
It wasn't long before Tu Yuan was battered and unable to heal his wounds, completely at a disadvantage.
Tu Yuan was genuinely panicked, considering his current state, if this continues, his life would likely end here.
He never expected Su Yang to be so fierce and relentless.
Su Yang fought with all his might every time, disregarding his own safety, intent on killing the opponent.
Yet, the problem was Su Yang's resilience. In fact, Tu Yuan struck Su Yang far more often than Su Yang hit him. But Su Yang merely felt the pain without injury, whereas when Tu Yuan was hit, he certainly got hurt.
Given this situation, the outcome of this battle for Tu Yuan was decided from the start!
Tu Yuan finally recognized the issue, but it was too late. He wanted to flee, but Su Yang offered no opportunity.
If Tu Yuan had chosen to escape a few days earlier, Su Yang might not have been able to stop him. But now, with heavy injuries and mostly depleted power, escaping was a mere dream.
Su Yang exerted all his strength, blocking Tu Yuan and continually using the Xuanyuan Sword to gravely wound him.
After fighting for seven days more, Tu Yuan finally couldn't hold on. His body was completely shattered, and he felt the threat to his life.
"Help me, help me..." Tu Yuan cried toward the Asura King on the moon.
The Asura King's expression changed anxiously, realizing Tu Yuan was indeed in grave danger. He immediately rushed forward to aid Tu Yuan.
At this moment, several Saints came out from the moon, blocking the Asura King's path.
"Asura King, have you forgotten our previous agreement?" The Feather Clan Saint teased, "This is a battle of life and death, we can only watch, not intervene!"
"Nonsense!" The Asura King roared, "Tu Yuan is one of my Asura Clan, and in danger, why can't I help? What does your support for Su Yang mean? Do you intend to side with the Human Clan?"
"Of course we're not siding with the Human Clan, but don't forget we have a bet!" The Ghost Realm Saint laughed, "Asura King, if you intervene, how do we settle this bet? Are you trying to con us by having two Saints from the Asura Clan both attack Su Yang?"
The Asura King's face was angry, looking at the perilous situation of Tu Yuan, he gritted his teeth: "Fine, fine, I admit defeat in this bet, is that acceptable? Can you get out of the way now?"
They exchanged glances and smiles but showed no intention of moving aside.
"Since we made a bet, it should be decided by skill!" The Ghost Realm Saint laughed, "What does admitting defeat mean? If you unwillingly refuse to acknowledge it later, what would we do? So, I believe letting them decide the outcome by their abilities is most appropriate. What do you all think?"
Everyone nodded in agreement with the Ghost Realm Saint's suggestion.
The Asura King was furious, understanding their intent clearly, these people were trying to prevent him from saving Tu Yuan.
Simply put, the Eight Realms are in competition, and any two realms have competitive relations. Under such circumstances, if the Asura Clan loses a Saint, their power would surely decline, a situation the other Seven Realms would be most pleased to see.
Saints rarely engage in battle because the consequences are widespread and severe. Even the strongest Saints pay a price to kill the weakest Saints.
And this price is something they wish to avoid.
For instance, the Buddha Domain Saint, known as a top-tier presence among the Eight Realms Saints, but after a battle with another Saint, the Buddha Realm Divine Artifact was damaged, causing a sharp decline in the Buddha Domain's power, a heavy price.
Therefore, a battle between Saints rarely occurs, and even when it does, it isn't a life-and-death duel. The presence of Saints is simply a deterrent, a symbol of power, much like atomic bombs!
However, just because Saint battles don't happen often doesn't mean they don't wish other Saints to die. In fact, they hope for other realm Saints to fight and die, which would increase their influence.
Now a Saint battle has finally occurred, and one Saint is truly about to die. Without effort, without cost, witnessing a Saint being killed would undoubtedly be the ideal scenario for them.
So, at this moment, these Seven Realm individuals are certainly trying to prevent him from rescuing Tu Yuan.
On the other side, Su Yang also sensed the movement of the Saints, aware that the Asura King intended to save Tu Yuan, so he accelerated his assaults. This time, he was determined to kill Tu Yuan no matter what!
The Asura King saw Tu Yuan's dire situation, becoming more anxious and roaring angrily, "Get out of my way!"
"Asura King, who are you trying to scare?" The Ghost Realm Saint replied coldly, "We're not moving today, and what can you do?"
"Are you really looking to make an enemy of me?" The Asura King shouted.
"We are merely being reasonable, that's all!" The Feather Clan Saint chuckled.
The Asura King burst with anger, suddenly rushing forward: "Let me see who dares block me!"
Several Saints simultaneously acted, stopping him.
"Why would we be afraid?" The Demon Clan monkey responded nonchalantly, "Today, they must fight fairly!"
The Asura King was nearly frantic, "Are you trying to incite a Saint battle?"
"Asura King, if you keep acting unreasonably, we don't mind fighting you!" A Heavenly Realm Saint flew over, speaking coldly.
The Asura King's expression changed, surveying the surroundings, seeing seven or eight Saints surrounding him. In other words, the Seven Realms Saints were watching him, clearly not allowing him to save Tu Yuan.
In these circumstances, his strength was futile. These people wouldn't fear him due to his dominance. On the contrary, lashing out would only create problems for him.
