Chapter 2776: The War Begins
In fact, Su Yang never intended to run to the very end.
The reason he chose to flee was that, under the circumstances at the time, going head-to-head with the Guardian God would definitely put them at a disadvantage.
And the process of escaping was actually Su Yang’s way of collecting Chaos Gaps.
To deal with these Guardian Gods, Su Yang could only use the rules of Chaos against them. The best way was to utilize the Chaos Gaps to disperse these individuals.
The strength of these individuals was formidable, and ordinary Chaos Gaps had no significance to them. What could really restrict these Guardian Gods were the more powerful Chaos Gaps.
In his flight through the Chaos, Su Yang was searching for stronger Chaos Gaps.
In this Chaos, truly powerful Chaos Gaps were extremely rare.
Previously, when Su Yang entered, the Chaos Sparrow had informed him of the locations of some powerful Chaos Gaps. Su Yang collected those Chaos Gaps, which led to the earlier trap against the Guardian Gods.
However, those Chaos Gaps were left at the site of the previous trap and could not be retrieved in time. Now, being extremely far from that location, it was impossible to return quickly and make use of those Chaos Gaps, so Su Yang had to gather them on his own.
Having fled for several years, Su Yang hadn’t encountered any powerful Chaos Gaps. However, he collected many small Chaos Gaps. By merging these small Chaos Gaps, he could form a strong Chaos Gap.
Once this Chaos Gap was successfully merged, Su Yang cast a glance at the Supreme Dragon Emperor and the three others.
The four were also unwilling to continue fleeing. Seeing Su Yang’s look, they immediately understood.
As they were running, the Supreme Dragon Emperor suddenly disappeared, as if accidentally falling into a Chaos Gap.
Seeing this, the eyes of the Guardian Gods behind them lit up. This was an opportunity — with one less person on the Human Clan’s side, wasn’t this the best time to slaughter them?
In fact, Su Yang and the others immediately stopped in their tracks due to the Supreme Dragon Emperor’s sudden disappearance, anxiously watching the spot where he vanished.
"Quick, catch up!" The Heavenly Sect shouted urgently, directly taking out the Heavenly Dao Jade Pendant and casting a beam of light forward.
This Heavenly Dao Jade Pendant, possessing the power of the Heavenly Dao, could fill the Chaos Gap. He did this to prevent Su Yang from setting any traps here. After all, they had suffered too many losses at Su Yang’s hands before and were now overly cautious.
However, this time Su Yang hadn’t set any trap. The Heavenly Sect charged forward unabated and quickly reached the four’s side without encountering any obstruction.
"Block them!" The Heavenly Sect roared furiously, "Kill them! Kill them!"
The Guardian Gods, filled with rage from the chase, seized the chance and charged forward, surrounding Su Yang and the others in the center, all attacking them with full force.
At this moment, Su Yang and the others were filled with anxiety. The Immortal Titan and the two others hurriedly blocked the attacks from all sides, while Su Yang rushed toward where the Supreme Dragon Emperor had disappeared, seemingly trying to find him.
"Don’t let them escape!" The Heavenly Sect shouted angrily, urgently pushing forward with the power of the Heavenly Dao, ready to drive Su Yang back.
Meanwhile, there were also three Guardian Gods attacking Su Yang from behind.
These three Guardian Gods, still some distance from Su Yang, were almost upon him when they suddenly disappeared!
"What happened?" The Heavenly Sect’s eyes widened, and his face turned livid: "Su, did you... set another trap?"
Su Yang smiled; this time, the gain was not insignificant as they managed to trick all three Guardian Gods.
This Chaos Gap was created by merging those small Chaos Gaps. It’s unstable and very small, usable only once.
Su Yang had contemplated earlier that if two Guardian Gods could be sent away, it would be a good outcome. Unexpectedly, this time, three were sent away, improving their situation significantly.
Only seven Guardian Gods remained, reducing Su Yang and the others’ pressure greatly.
"Heavenly Sect, you’ve fought me before; how could you be so careless?" Su Yang said with a faint smile.
The Heavenly Sect, fuming with rage, quickly expanded the power of the Heavenly Dao and roared: "Su Yang, today, I must kill you!"
The power of the Heavenly Dao swept around, aiming to destroy those Chaos Gaps.
In reality, what the Heavenly Sect did was a complete waste of effort. After the three Guardian Gods were sent through the Chaos Gap, there were no more Chaos Gaps here, so what he did was meaningless.
"Want to kill me? Let’s see if you have the ability!" Su Yang sneered. "Master Heavenly Sect, you’ve wanted to kill me for a long time, but you’ve never succeeded. This time, I doubt you will either."
"Hmph, don’t think that sending away three of my people means you can truly fight us." The Heavenly Sect gritted his teeth and said, "Those who can come here are similarly powerful. Yet, we have seven people here while you have only four. On what grounds can you contend with us!"
"Oh, really?" Su Yang smiled and, with a wave of his hand, the Supreme Dragon Emperor suddenly burst out from the nearby chaos.
This was the last small Chaos Gap Su Yang had left, intended to hide the Supreme Dragon Emperor. Earlier, he had placed the Supreme Dragon Emperor into this Chaos Gap to temporarily hide him, enticing the trailing Guardian Gods.
The Heavenly Sect thought the Supreme Dragon Emperor was also transported away, which led him to utter such arrogant words.
Seeing the Supreme Dragon Emperor reappear, the Heavenly Sect’s face turned even grimmer.
This way, the Human Clan now had five people. Meanwhile, their side only had seven. Despite the numerical advantage, the problem was that Su Yang’s strength was excessively formidable. Their seven, against Su Yang’s five, was indeed somewhat challenging.
Nonetheless, matters had reached this point; not fighting was no longer an option. Separated all this time, losing so many Guardian Gods — if they didn’t fight this time, who knew how many Guardian Gods would be left next time they encountered Su Yang.
"Kill!" The Heavenly Sect roared frantically, charging at Su Yang first.
The other Guardian Gods also rushed up, with one joining the Heavenly Sect to attack Su Yang. Meanwhile, the remaining five engaged in battle with the Supreme Dragon Emperor and the other four.
In one-on-one combat, the Human Clan’s strength was slightly superior. However, with five Guardian Gods against four Human Clan strongmen, the Human Clan would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
On the other side, the Heavenly Sect and one Guardian God besieged Su Yang, attacking him with full force, causing Su Yang to retreat step by step.
