Chapter 443: Chapter 225: Death is Not Frightening, What’s Most Terrifying is Provoking Su Yu!_2
"Although I do have the ability to pollute you, I have no grievances with you, so why would I pollute you?"
"Tell me, what have you encountered recently? Let me help you analyze it, maybe we can find the true source of the pollution."
Su Yu thought that if he wanted to find the hidden danger in War City, he should start with Yue Cheng.
But how could Yue Cheng believe Su Yu’s words? He only considered it as the bewitchment of the Evil God.
Honestly, the aura of the Brutal Battle Armor was truly terrifying. The first time Yue Cheng was in close contact with the Brutal Battle Armor, he almost felt like suffocating.
Su Yu must be the Great Evil God incarnate!
Not a single word of his could be trusted!
Yue Cheng, however, had backbone, unwilling to cooperate with such an Evil God even if it meant death.
He was also confident that he had been through so much torment, his heart was like dead ashes.
No matter how frightening Su Yu was, he couldn’t make Yue Cheng submit.
"Since you’re unwilling to cooperate, then I’ll have to use some means."
Su Yu saw this and slightly shook his head.
"Fear Intelligence!"
Su Yu called out softly.
"Yes, master!"
A slightly childish voice came from the Brutal Battle Armor.
Then, an extremely terrifying aura emanated from Su Yu.
Just moments ago, Yue Cheng had a face of resolute death, but now upon sensing this aura, boundless fear surged from his heart.
He instantly collapsed, crying bitterly, kowtowing incessantly, "Spare me, spare me..."
It was Su Yu who let the Fear Intelligence emit a trace of the Power of Fear.
This fear, originating from the Brutal Split Mind, was far beyond the imagination limits of any ordinary human.
Although Su Yu asked the Fear Intelligence to restrain it a bit, it still made Yue Cheng kneel instantly.
Even the seven-star Xie Yitian was terrified back in the day, let alone Yue Cheng?
"Okay, that’s enough."
At Su Yu’s command, the Fear Intelligence immediately retracted its power.
Meanwhile, Yue Cheng immediately relaxed, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, with lingering fear on his face.
It seemed like he had just experienced something more frightening than death.
Indeed, he had experienced the terror of an Evil God.
"I ask, you answer."
Su Yu spoke after Yue Cheng had caught his breath for a while.
"...Yes."
This time, Yue Cheng didn’t dare to retort and was exceedingly honest.
While answering Su Yu, he didn’t dare to raise his head, nor to look at Su Yu.
In his heart, Su Yu’s identity as the Great Evil God was now beyond doubt.
How else could someone create such boundless terror?
"I really was too naive, the horror of the Evil God was far beyond my imagination..."
Yue Cheng deeply regretted his previous boastful words.
Just moments ago, he said, "Do whatever you want, I don’t care, it’s just death!"
But now, after experiencing such extreme terror.
He understood that death was not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing was angering Su Yu!
So at this moment, he was exceedingly honest, fearing Su Yu would make him experience that extreme terror again.
"You should have been this honest from the start, it would have spared you this pain..."
Looking at Yue Cheng’s condition, Su Yu couldn’t help but comment in his heart.
Truth be told, Fear Intelligence is truly adept at extracting confessions.
A slight spread of fear, and the other side instantly confesses, requiring no mental effort.
"Tell me, all the things you’ve gone through in the past month, in detail."
Su Yu ordered.
"Yes, recently I..."
Yue Cheng immediately began his narrative.
Under Su Yu’s instruction, he started from his trip to the Mechanical City.
Su Yu listened quietly, trying to analyze any anomalies.
However, almost everything was ordinary.
Until Yue Cheng completed his task at the Mechanical City and returned to War City to meet Tie Long.
Yue Cheng said that at the time, he reported to Tie Long that most of the resources from the Dead Silence Wilderness were taken by the Mechanical City, hoping that Tie Long would uphold justice.
But Tie Long merely smiled and asked Yue Cheng to step down, instructing him not to worry about these matters anymore.
Clearly, Tie Long didn’t care about the resources from the Dead Silence Wilderness.
Yue Cheng, therefore, felt betrayed by Tie Long and was depressed till now...
Even this part seemed ordinary.
But Su Yu frowned, "Something is off!"
Because he noticed that when Yue Cheng talked about this, his wording seemed somewhat abnormal.
Earlier, when Yue Cheng mentioned Tie Long, his wording was very respectful.
But when it came to this part, the words were filled with deep resentment, lacking the previous respect.
It seemed like Yue Cheng’s attitude towards Tie Long subtly changed after that meeting.
Though he remained loyal to Tie Long, the respect wasn’t the same as before.
This was an anomaly.
"Describe in detail what Tie Long’s expression and actions were back then!"
"And how you felt at the time!"
Su Yu immediately inquired.
"Yes, at that time..."
Upon hearing Su Yu’s question, Yue Cheng’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly recalled the scene when he last met Tie Long and began to narrate.
After hearing it again, Su Yu nodded slightly:
"It seems you were polluted by Tie Long during your last meeting."
"Perhaps Tie Long is also a victim, polluted himself, and then passed it onto you."
Su Yu estimated that the source of the pollution was with Tie Long.
Even though Tie Long attended the Transcendent Union previously, Su Yu hadn’t found anything unusual with him.
"The Commander polluted me? How could it be..."
Yue Cheng instinctively wanted to refute upon hearing this.
But halfway through, he remembered Su Yu’s terrifying methods earlier and hastily shut his mouth.
However, Su Yu ignored him and continued to ponder:
"Come to think of it, Tie Long was quite active at first."
"In these past two weeks at the gatherings, he seemed a bit quieter, hardly speaking..."
Su Yu recalled Tie Long’s recent behavior.
But truthfully, Su Yu wasn’t that familiar with Tie Long, with not much to recall.
At most, Tie Long seemed to be speaking less lately, which wasn’t particularly strange.
Yet through Yue Cheng’s narrative, Su Yu realized that the City Lord Tie Long indeed had issues.
"Could the hidden danger in each city originate from its City Lord?"
"Could all these seven-star beings have problems?"
"First it was Xie Yitian, then Zhao Shuangming, and now this Tie Long..."
Su Yu suddenly found that his random wandering and investigation in War City was for nothing.
If he had gone straight to Tie Long, he might have already found the issue and not wasted so much time.
"But it might not be that simple."
"If I went directly to Tie Long, he might have concealed it well, and I might have discovered nothing."
"This Yue Cheng, however, couldn’t hide it and gave me a hint."
Su Yu thought to himself, realizing that his investigation still had merit.
He then suddenly turned to look at Yue Cheng and reached out his hand towards him.
"No..."
Yue Cheng cried out, covering his face with both hands, thinking Su Yu was about to use those terrifying methods on him again.
However, Su Yu didn’t let the Fear Intelligence go rampant but instead silently activated the Power of Nihility.
And the target of the Power of Nihility was the strange aura on Yue Cheng.
As soon as the strange aura came into contact with the Power of Nihility, it began to erode the Power of Nihility.
The previously deathly Power of Nihility now showed signs of rebellion.
Thankfully, the Power of Nihility is the core power of the Ghost Hidden Blade Evil God Origin, deeply bound to Su Yu and wouldn’t be easily affected.
Su Yu slightly activated the Evil God Origin and immediately suppressed this bit of turmoil.
Meanwhile, the strange aura on Yue Cheng was swiftly pulled into the Nihility Space by the Power of Nihility.
He intended to collect a bit of that strange aura as a sample for research, and then confront Tie Long with confidence.
With the removal of the strange aura by Su Yu, Yue Cheng instantly felt relieved, feeling unprecedented ease.
The abnormalities were all caused by these strange auras, and now that Su Yu had eradicated them, he naturally felt freed.
"I’ve cleared your pollution. I’m going to find Tie Long now, you stay here."
Su Yu said to Yue Cheng, and then his figure disappeared instantly.
