War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2265 Su Li’s Self-Sacrifice 

Currently, a killing intent rose in Su Li’s eyes as he stared at Little Gold, Little White, and Little Black.

Saint Origin laced with Devil Qi surged into the sky, making his aura similar to that of a gigantic sword. His aura was piercing and cold, shrouding his body.

Little Gold, Little White, and Little Black regained their senses and their expressions changed drastically. At this moment, they knew they were very close to death!

When Little Gold sensed the killing intent from Su Li, she knew he was a hairbreadth away from killing them. She hurriedly said, “Hey! Su Li! Aren’t you Brother Ling Tian’s friend? You can’t kill us!” It was as though she was afraid Su Li would really kill them if he did not know about their relationship with Duan Ling Tian!

When Su Li heard Little Gold’s words. His red eyes that were filled with bloodlust narrowed as he muttered to himself, “Brother Ling Tian? Ling Tian?” It did not take long before the bloodlust in his eyes lessened slightly.

It seemed as though the word ‘Ling Tian’ held some magical power. Unfortunately, it only lasted for a second before the bloodlust in his eyes returned in full force. Even the killing intent that rose from his body seemed stronger than before.

“Su Li! Our Brother Ling Tian is Duan Ling Tian. He’s your friend. Did you forget him? Back then, you were best friends at the Crimson Sky Kingdom’s Paladin Academy… Did you forget all about it?” Little White hurriedly said when she saw Su Li seemed to be losing himself again. Based on Su Li’s earlier reaction, she could tell that he still remembered Brother Ling Ting. However, she still felt anxious. She was afraid he would kill them. With his strength, if he intended to kill them, it would be difficult for three of them to escape even if they reverted to their true forms. At this moment, she could only hope that he remembered Brother Ling Tian in time and would not kill them due to their relationship with Brother Ling Tian. Otherwise, they would definitely meet their demise today.

At this moment, all of them knew there was something amiss with Su Li. It seemed like he was not himself when the bloodlust clouded his eyes. In this state, he felt more like a Devil than a human to them. Moreover, he seemed like a Devil who had gone mad.

After Little White finished speaking, Little Gold and Little Black turned to look at Su Li solemnly. At this time, all they could do was hope that Su Li remembered Brother Ling Tian! If he failed to recall Brother Ling Tian, their likelihood of dying today was high. At this moment, three of them felt slightly regretful. If they knew they were going to encounter Su Li, they would not have wasted time toying with that Ox-Devil. Although they were not certain if they could kill the Ox-Devil even after they reverted to their true forms, it was definitely not a problem for them to escape. They felt as though they had learned a lesson. If they survived this, they would not toy around with their opponents anymore!

The bloodlust in Su Li’s eyes dimmed significantly this time when he heard Little White’s word. He muttered repeatedly to himself, “Ling Tian…Duan Ling Tian…Duan Ling Tian… Crimson Sky Kingdom’s Paladin Academy…” After a few moments, it seemed as though the bloodlust in his eyes had vanished completely.

It seemed like Little White’s words had gotten through to Su Li!

When the bloodlust in Su Li’s eyes disappeared, he shook his head in exhaustion. Then, he looked at the three little fellows and asked, “You… All of you know Duan Ling Tian? You even know about the Crimson Sky Kingdom and the Paladin Academy?” At this moment, Su Li seemed himself again. However, he was unfamiliar with Little Gold, Little White, and Little Black.

“He’s our Brother Ling Tian. Of course, we know him!” Little Gold said earnestly, “I’ve heard about the stories of you and him… You knew him from the Crimson Sky Kingdom’s Genius Camp, right?”

“Genius Camp…” Su Li’s body trembled when he heard Little Gold’s words. His thoughts seemed to have returned to a time when he was much younger…

The first time he met Duan Ling Tian was at the Crimson Sky Kingdom’s Iron Blood City army camp. At that time, they were there to participate in the Genius Camp’s assessment. He could still vividly remember Duan Ling Tian’s actions from that day. The purple-clad young man was as slippery as a snake. He had sent his opponent flying with just one punch, effectively passing the test.

“Su…” Little White began to speak.

However, Su Li quickly cut her off, “No!”

At this moment, Su Li’s body began to tremble violently. His eyes that were clear were clouded with bloodlust again. He growled and grunted as he clenched his teeth as though he was struggling with something.

“No!” Little White and the others’ expressions changed again when they saw the bloodlust in Su Li’s eyes.

“I won’t let you succeed again!” Su Li growled before his Saint Origin surged out of his body like a dragon as bloodlust flickered in his eyes. His Devil Qi skyrocketed as well. At this moment, he seemed like a peerless Devil King.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Little White and the others paled when they saw this.

Su Li suddenly lifted his hand, and the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword, in his hand turned into a sword ray and began to revolve around him at increasing speed.

“Sword, come to me!” Su Li growled again as the sword ray that revolved around him suddenly split and formed thousands of sword rays. Each of the sword rays contained chilling Devil Qi. At this moment, the bloodlust in his eyes intensified.

“I, Su Li, will not allow you to harm Duan Ling Tian’s friends even if I have to die!” Su Li cried out before he manipulated the sword rays around him to pierce himself. There was only one thought left in his mind. He must not kill Duan Ling Tian’s friends! There were only a few people in this world whom Su Li cared about. His master was one of them, and Duan Ling Tian was the other. He had already accidentally killed his master, he would not kill Duan Ling Tian’s companions now. Otherwise, he would be too ashamed to meet Duan Ling Tian in the future. He would rather die than kill Duan Ling Tian’s friends.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

As soon as Su Li cried out, the thousands and thousands of sword rays seemed to have received an irreversible order as they shot toward him like a shower of arrows.

At this moment, the bloodlust in Su Li’s eyes appeared again. His whole demeanor seemed to have changed. It was not an exaggeration to say he seemed like a different person. Saint Origin laced with Devil Qi surged again from his body and formed a shield that blocked the thousands of sword rays heading his way. However, since his defense was created quickly at the last minute, it was very weak. For this reason, the shield only managed to block a few of the sword rays.

In the end, he was still injured and weakened by the sword rays. There seemed to be thousands and thousands of cuts and holes on his body!

“Ahhh!” Little White cried out in horror as her expression changed when she saw this. At the same time, her eyes glistened with tears. Naturally, she understood Su Li’s intention. That was why she was moved to tears.

“Su Li!” Little Gold and Little Black’s eyes also reddened when they realized Su Li’s intention.

It was unknown if the pain had weakened Su Li’s bloodlust., but at this moment, he seemed to have regained control of himself.

“Go!” Su Li said to them with the last of his strength. An expression of agony could be seen on his face as blood gushed out of him like a fountain.

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, the bloodlust appeared in his eyes again, and his aura changed as well, turning him into a different person. He instantly tried to staunch the bleeding on his body. However, the injuries were grievous and it was difficult to heal in a short time. At this moment, his aura had weakened a lot. It seemed as though anyone would be able to kill him at this moment. Su Li who was severely injured shot a look at Little White and the others. After a few moments, he eventually left in another direction as though he realized he would not be able to kill them now even if he tried. However, due to his injuries, his movements were very slow.

“I’m afraid that even a weak Devil would be able to kill him now…” Little White muttered to herself with a worried expression. Then, she turned to look at her companions with a question in her eyes. She did not have to verbalize her thoughts, the other two understood her.

“He’d rather die than hurt us… How can we let the Devils kill him? That’s not me!” Little Gold said with a rarely seen seriousness.

“Let’s go!” Little Black said as he flew toward Su Li.

Anyone of them could kill Su Li at his current state. The three of them agreed to follow and protect him. They would leave once Su Li’s strength had recovered to the point where he could kill them if they reverted to their true forms. After all, if they still continued following him when he regained his full strength, they would probably be killed by him when he goes mad!
