Chapter 792: Chapter 453: From the Sun Kingdom
...
"These people aren’t from the Sun Kingdom," Xiao Ning casually remarked, his words making Yan Xiaobao grin. It was almost as if they were suggesting they could outright steal their treasures.
Although Yan Xiaobao tried to be a fair person, he knew he needed to enhance his own strength. These experts outranked him significantly, so he sighed. Failing to defeat experts of the Emperor ranking was their own shortfall.
Taking one last glance at the opposing group, Yan Xiaobao noticed the shameless smile on Xiao Ning’s face. With a matching grin of his own, the two were ushered into the new organization. They had no clue how many experts were on either side, and frankly, no one seemed to care. Each side had resolved their own strength would prevail.
As Yan Xiaobao surged forward, the experts standing in front finally felt a slight sense of relief, though, in their hearts, they pitied those who thought it was a good idea to clash with these two.
"These two are far more dangerous than any trap in this tunnel," one of the experts muttered. "They’re undoubtedly creatures no one ever wants to encounter." With that said, the four-member group forged ahead again, this time moving much faster, hoping to escape the gaze of these monsters.
...
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Deng Wu’s voice echoed through the tunnel. His eyes were sharpened with fatigue, his tone icy and brimming with hostility that was palpable. Beside him stood Rong Ming, Rong Xing, and Gao Yan. Blocking their path were a pair of experts, evidently ranked as Emperors.
"No problem, just hand over the beautiful woman and all your treasures, and we’ll let you live," said one of the Emperors with a lecherous grin. His greedy gaze was locked onto Rong Xing, and as he occasionally licked his lips, his intent couldn’t have been clearer.
The words were enough to ignite Deng Wu’s fury. Though rage surged through his veins, he refrained from any immediate action. On the other hand, Gao Yan had to go all out to keep Rong Ming in check.
"I’m terribly sorry, but these treasures are ours, and this beautiful girl is someone we cannot surrender. She’s our goddess, so if you want her, you’ll have to place her over our dead bodies." His voice was cold, and beneath his frosty gaze was a sinister smirk.
The statements from Rong Ming, Rong Xing, and Gao Yan left everyone stunned. It was apparent that the experts in front of them were Emperors. How could they possibly take them down? However, as Deng Wu had instructed, they decided to stand their ground. After all, there was no other choice.
The experts stared at Deng Wu in shock, and this reaction didn’t just come from his companions but also from the two Emperors. Dumbfounded for a moment, they suddenly burst into laughter. A mere King-level expert dared to threaten them? Without a doubt, this was the most amusing thing they’d ever heard. But their laughter quickly faded.
The energy ripple around Deng Wu began to intensify, eliciting a knowing smirk from the expert himself. His King-level power rapidly surged, and it showed no signs of stopping even upon reaching Emperor-level. It climbed higher still, forcing the two proud experts to swallow hard and subconsciously take a step back. It became evident that the entire tomb was filled with monsters. As the escalating power caused their nerves to tighten, fear started creeping into their eyes.
"I’ve never attempted this before," Deng Wu said with calculated calmness. "But if you intend to lay your filthy hands on the Queen of my heart, it seems I’ll have to take desperate measures."
Upon hearing his words, the two Emperors smirked. So, this man was resorting to a skill he’d never used before? They figured that even though his energy vastly exceeded theirs, he likely wouldn’t be able to control it. In their overconfidence, they believed they could still triumph. Their morale surged as they lunged at Deng Wu, intent on mocking him. Unfortunately for them, Deng Wu’s power continued to rage. The catastrophic energy ripple was so immense that it slowed the movements of the two experts.
As Deng Wu turned, his long blue hair began swirling around him. His blue eyes glittered with fury as he raised a massive hammer formed with the power of Wu Wei.
The energy surging through his meridians was far more potent than anything he’d felt before. Reassured by the newfound strength, he was confident he could protect his friends. Without waiting for the two experts to make contact, he swung the hammer toward the first expert with pinpoint accuracy.
The target, an Emperor, had initially dismissed Deng Wu and his group. Yet as the hammer hurtled toward him, his smile grew as he prepared to deride Deng Wu for such a seemingly weak attack.
Unfortunately for him, he never got the chance to utter a single sound, as a pained scream suddenly erupted beside him. Turning his head, his expression changed drastically as he noticed that his companion, who had been standing right next to him, now had one arm hanging limply, clearly immobilized. His shoulder had collapsed inward, and his bones had clearly been crushed. The sheer energy contained in that strike was devastatingly evident. The expert who evaded the attack found himself blocking the view of his injured comrade, giving the Emperor no indication of what had come for him until it was too late.
The dodging Emperor took a deep breath, realizing he wasn’t the actual target; he’d merely been used as a means to disguise the strike. By the time the other Emperor noticed, it was already far too late.
