Supreme Conceited Emperor

Inside the crevice of the stone tower, Su Jue's entire body was bathed in starlight, his eyes closed.    

    

The starlight was very weak. It looked like it possessed all sorts of power, but it was the only light in the darkness.    

    

Xiao Chengyi stood beside Su Jue and looked around with a serious expression.    

    

He knew that his master was at a critical juncture.    

    

Within the scarlet dawn, the ancient scroll with the star map similarly glowed with a faint starlight.    

    

Weng    

    

An hour later, only the first ray of light appeared in the sky, Su Jue's body froze, under the starlight, his entire body became transparent, the bronze coloured bones and the golden energy slowly circulated within his meridians.    

    

Crack!    

    

In a moment, Su Jue clenched his fists, and then opened his eyes.    

    

A bright light flashed in his eyes, and the starlight also scattered at the same time.    

    

"I've finally succeeded, but …"    

    

Su Jue's face showed joy, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.    

    

According to the golden left hand, his body was not weak in the first place, so it wouldn't take him long to become a bronze body.    

    

It turned out to be true.    

    

After days of constant fighting and absorption, his bones and meridians had turned bronze.    

    

However, the changes to his body were still not obvious, and there was an even larger gap between him and the dragon arm.    

    

It was obvious that he had yet to reach the true bronze body.    

    

"Golden left hand, am I still lacking something?" After a while, Su Jue asked.    

    

"Right now, your body is already extremely close to bronze, but you are hesitating to stay in the Heaven Realm. The Heaven Realm's power is unable to satisfy your breakthrough, in short, the star power is too far away from you, you can use my method to sense and absorb it, but you are unable to use it to break through." The Golden Left Hand sighed.    

    

"Is there no other way?" Su Jue asked doubtfully.    

    

"This depends on your luck. What you lack now is an opportunity to break through, an opportunity to break through your shackles."    

    

The shackles!    

    

Su Jue's heart tightened. This kind of restriction that the world placed on humans was called a shackle, breaking it was extremely difficult.    

    

But he also believed that there was an opportunity in this world, and his dragon arm had already reached Bronze-ranked.    

    

Letting out a breath, Su Jue stopped thinking about it and walked out.    

    

He wanted to fight the black bugs one last time.    

    

The black bugs seemed to have been waiting for a long time on top of the ruins.    

    

"Squad leader, today is the last battle with you, and it is also the time for us to determine the victor."    

    

Su Jue laughed and said. In these ten days of battle, he and this black bug were already very familiar with each other, so he gave this black bug a name.    

    

Squadron Leader!    

    

"Break!"    

    

As if he understood Su Jue's words, the captain's eyes revealed a blood-red color, and he immediately pounced towards Su Jue.    

    

Su Jue laughed, and led the captain's sharp claws forward.    

    

swish *    

    

The sharp claws clashed with Su Jue's fist, but surprisingly, the claws only penetrated into Su Jue's flesh.    

    

The change in his body made Su Jue feel that it was extremely weak, but during the battle, it was shown with extreme delicacy.    

    

If it was ten days ago, his hand would have already been pierced, but now it was just his flesh.    

    

These are two completely different concepts.    

    

"Like I said, this time is the time to split your burden."    

    

His right fist suddenly swung out, and in an instant, the captain was sent flying by Su Jue.    

    

After these few days of fighting, Su Jue had a deep understanding of these Demon Insects.    

    

Not only were these demonic insects not afraid, they did not even feel the slightest bit of pain. However, they were also very intelligent. They were simply a natural battle machine.    

    

After an intense close combat with the golden body, the squad leader was clearly lacking in strength, and his strength had gone from being evenly matched to being completely suppressed by Su Jue.    

    

"Haha Squad Leader, you've lost!"    

    

Su Jue laughed out loud, he condensed all of his power into his fist and prepared to give the captain one last strike.    

    

However, at this moment, a sword light flashed by and the captain was divided into two, dead.    

    

Su Jue frowned, he looked at the captain's corpse, and killing intent flashed past his eyes.    

    

After ten days of battle, the squad leader could be considered his sparring partner. At the same time, the squad leader had treated him as an opponent and had even abandoned his comrades.    

    

Even if he died, he should have died in his hands.    

    

However, he was ambushed and killed by a sword qi.    

    

"Who are you?"    

    

Su Jue lifted his head and looked into the distance.    

    

On a nearby mound of dirt, a man dressed in green was looking at Su Jue with a smile, his robes fluttering in the wind.    

    

"You don't have to thank me. I just killed it."    

    

The green-robed man said indifferently, and then walked over to the demonic insect's corpse.    

    

"Seems like it's no longer of any value. Blame me for not being able to use my full strength in a casual strike. I actually hacked him into two!"    

    

Su Jue raised his brows, and a disdainful expression flashed past his face.    

    

"Why did you kill it?"    

    

"Why?"    

    

The green-robed man was surprised: "Little guy, I saw your fight. You are simply courting death. I'm going to kill him to teach you a lesson. I'll let you know what kind of method you should use to kill the demonic insects."    

    

"Is that so? Since you have seen my battle, you should understand that it is about to be defeated." Su Jue said coldly.    

    

"Lost, haha!"    

    

The green robed man raised his head and laughed loudly. After a short while, he said, "You actually used the word 'defeat' to come to the holy city to meet the demonic insects. You have to kill them as fast as possible, do you understand?"    

    

"I only know that you cut my spoils of war in half." Su Jue scoffed, this guy clearly came here to show off his might, and actually said it in such a righteous manner.    

    

"Your spoils of war, kid, I don't think you know how to appreciate favors. I'm here to teach you how to survive in Holy City."    

    

He pointed to the Free Zone of the Holy City and said, "Here, there are many newcomers every day. They all want to make a name for themselves in this place where the strong are as common as the clouds, but most of them died on their first try. You should be glad that you met me during your first battle."    

    

Su Jue was speechless and couldn't help but to shake his head. He was a little suspicious of the fact that such a high quality product could actually survive in such a place like the ruins of the Holy City.    

    

Seeing Su Jue's change in expression, the green robed man could not help but laugh, and said: "Looks like you understand, but don't thank me. Remember, my name is Bai Di, I am known as Flying Sword Sect's Bai Di, and no one in the west region does not recognize me."    

    

"I'm not interested in who you are."    

    

With that, Su Jue turned and walked back.    

    

"Kid, you should show some respect in front of me." The person who called himself Bai Di suddenly had a cold expression.    

    

"Respect you a bit. Why? Who are you? I must respect you. I did not pursue the matter of you destroying my spoils of war. It can be said that you have done your best." Su Jue's voice also became colder.    

    

"What did you say?" Bai Di's eyes shot out killing intent.    

    

Su Jue laughed disdainfully, then said: "You kept on saying that you wanted to save me, but because of that sentence, your killing intent revealed that you wanted to kill me. In the end, the reason why you made your move is simply to show off in front of a new person.    

    

Bai Di did not speak anymore, his face was overcast, obviously had already revealed his intentions.    

    

"I don't know if you really didn't see that the demonic insects were about to be defeated, or if it was fake. I also don't want to pursue this matter, but don't think that you can find a sense of accomplishment in front of me."    

    

An ice-cold voice came out from Su Jue's mouth, and the two of them stared at each other with murderous intent in their eyes.    

    

Ka-cha    

    

Just as the great battle was about to begin, a voice suddenly came from afar. Su Jue was very familiar with this voice, it was the voice of the Demon Insect.    

    

The two of them turned around at the same time and saw a cold-faced young man riding on a giant blood-colored insect, slowly walking towards them from the top of the gray ruins.    

    

"Executioner Li San!"    

    

Bai Di muttered, his face was pale white, the killing intent earlier vanished without a trace, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of fear.    

    

"Scram!"    

    

At this time, the teenager sitting on the insect coldly looked at Bai Di.    

    

Bai Di trembled, he immediately turned and left.    

    

Su Jue looked at the teenager curiously.    

    

The executioner Li San was not inside the booklet that Xuan Gang gave him, he was clearly one of the later generation, but from Bai Di's expression, he could determine that Li San was not an ordinary person.    

    

"Executioner!"    

    

What kind of person is the person who carries out the death penalty in the mortal world called the executioner?    

    

In the world of martial dao, it undoubtedly referred to those practitioners who killed without blinking an eye.    

    

More importantly, this Li San was actually riding on the Ogre Beetle.    

    

The Devouring Bug, the Three Worms, were the most terrifying and bloody demonic insects. It was difficult to kill them, yet they managed to tame one.    

    

"Newbie, this is the first time. Next time you appear in front of me, kill!"    

    

A cold voice sounded as if it had come from hell. Li San walked away from Su Jue's side without even giving him a glance.    

    

Su Jue's heart congealed. Li San's direction was clearly the resting place of the Stone Demon that was ranked ninth on the Abyss Level!
