Chapter 560 - 464 Confrontation
“Du Te Wei?!”
The people of Black Snow finally reacted, their faces changing drastically.
Mu Baiying’s face turned icy, raising his hand to summon a flurry of snowflakes that enveloped Qiong Ying.
He unleashed the Snow Night Aurora, his spear roaring with frost, and charged as one with his weapon in a blinding flash of light!
However, a swirling black-purple energy appeared around Qiong Ying, easily blocking the attack.
“How could this be!”
Mu Baiying’s heart skipped a beat, and he attempted to withdraw his spear.
Qiong Ying smirked, raising his hand to point at Mu Baiying, causing a layer of black energy to ripple across his body.
In an instant, a powerful wave of despair surged through Mu Baiying’s heart.
“I can’t beat him…”
“We’re all going to die…”
These thoughts erupted in his mind, sapping his will to survive or move. He stood motionless, watching Qiong Ying approach.
Despair Abyss!
“Mu Special Guard, get out of there!”
Qu Yang and Guo Huai shouted, rushing forward despite the danger.
But Rui Si, holding an oil painting, and the military-capped subordinate easily blocked those injured by the Dawn Holy Light.
Mu Baiying struggled within himself, but the despair held firm.
Qiong Ying laughed softly, “It seems the despair in your heart is even deeper than I imagined.”
Despair…?
Hearing this, Mu Baiying’s struggle intensified, realizing the nature of the enemy’s strange power.
His own faint despair during battle had been magnified, leaving him easily subdued.
But it was too late; Qiong Ying reached for Mu Baiying’s neck.
“Then, I’ll send you to your death…”
Death loomed, and Mu Baiying’s pupils constricted. His mind flashed through many memories.
His exceptional talent during his academy days, joining the Hidden Sect after graduation, and entering the Snow Mink Guard.
He had been unmatched among the young generation of Black Snow, praised everywhere he went, becoming one of the Three Special Guards.
But he had been defeated by the Great Flame Star Lord during the Earth Tribulation and the opening of the New Dust Realm.
Now, facing the Qiguang Star Envoy, he suffered another crushing defeat.
Clearly, there was still a significant gap between them!
The world is vast… Beyond Black Snow, there’s Great Flame, Qiguang.
Even other continents!
What a genius in one realm may not be so impressive on the world stage…
His thoughts raced as he saw Qiong Ying’s hand nearing his neck.
At that moment, a black line seemed to appear on Qiong Ying’s body.
There was a familiar fluctuation along the line…
This fluctuation… Hm?!
Mu Baiying’s eyes sharpened, snapping out of his despair.
Qiong Ying sensed something and quickly retreated.
“Hiss!…”
The next moment, a ten-foot-long space fissure tore through where Qiong Ying had stood!
“Sharply aware…” a voice remarked from not far away.
Both Qiong Ying and Mu Baiying, freed from despair, turned to look.
A silver-eyed youth stood with a long blade, shimmering with dark, profound Space Power.
“It’s you!!”
“Oh? It’s you.”
Mu Baiying and Qiong Ying both exclaimed.
Mu Baiying’s gaze on Su Yuan was wary and complex.
This was the first peer who had utterly defeated him, even seizing his Twin Wolf Veins.
Though Su Yuan had spared most of the Black Snow warriors under his command.
At this critical moment, whether intentional or not, he had saved him again…
“It’s that Star Lord!”
Qu Yang, seeing the silver-eyed youth, cleaved his way through the subordinates.
Though not allies, Qu Yang felt a sudden surge of excitement at seeing the newcomer.
The reason was simple—fighting for Tiger Vein was now impossible. Qu Yang hoped someone would defeat these Twelve Palace vermin!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
He had never seen other Star Lords in action.
But he believed the silver-eyed Star Lord was their best chance against the Star Envoys!
Mu Baiying flew to Su Yuan’s side, cautiously eyeing Qiong Ying.
“Why are you helping me?” he asked solemnly.
Su Yuan replied casually, “I’m not helping you. He can absorb negative energy; the stronger the person, the more energy they contribute.
Now, take your people and those waiting outside and leave. If you must die, don’t do it here and complicate things for me.”
Mu Baiying clenched his fists at Su Yuan’s words.
This operation was a failure; the Twelve Palace Star Envoys far surpassed their expectations!
Mu Baiying knew it was difficult even to survive at this point.
Su Yuan’s words gave them a lifeline.
Looking at Su Yuan’s lean figure, Mu Baiying gritted his teeth, “I’ll owe you for this. Qu Yang, let’s go!”
Raising his hand, snow gathered and carried Du Jianqing’s body, and Mu Baiying, with the remaining members, retreated quickly.
Qiong Ying observed Su Yuan intently, “A Star Lord… To see you again in such circumstances is unexpected.”
Su Yuan smiled, “I’m surprised too. From a prisoner to a Holy Temple Star Lord, Qiguang Holy Temple truly knows how to recognize talent.”
“Hahaha.” Qiong Ying laughed in agreement. “Indeed, as you say, the Qiguang Holy Temple has never been a clean place.
Besides, I had a premonition. It must be fate to meet you here…”
“Are you ready?” Su Yuan tightened his grip on his long blade. “This time, I won’t just escort you, but ensure you remain here forever.”
Su Yuan’s cold words made Qiong Ying’s expression turn serious.
“Just a Sky Patrol Star Lord, daring to speak to a Star Envoy like that!”
At this moment, a sharp Star Power fluctuation came from the side. The military-capped subordinate became a blur of blue light, attacking Su Yuan!
Su Yuan’s body blurred briefly, allowing the attacker to pass through him.
The subordinate turned to strike, but a dark blade light tore through him from behind!
“Ah!!”
Blood splattered. The subordinate’s scream echoed as he was cleaved in two, falling from the sky!
“Destroying a few Meteor Fire Stones doesn’t make you invincible.” Su Yuan flicked the blood from his blade, his face expressionless.
“Genus?!” The remaining subordinates gasped in shock, staring at Su Yuan.
Qu Yang and Guo Huai’s eyes gleamed with joy, “Good! As expected from that Star Lord!”
Despite Qiong Ying and Luna’s efforts, only two subordinates were injured; no deaths occurred.
But in one stroke, Su Yuan killed one!
Qiong Ying took notice and moved to act, but Su Yuan extended his left hand. Multiple Sky Locks shot out, entwining Qiong Ying.
Qiong Ying countered with black-purple energy, blocking the Sky Locks, and coldly shouted at Rui Si and the subordinates, “Step back!”
Rui Si and the others, still reeling from Genus’s sudden death, hesitated. The next moment, a piercing white light flashed across their eyes.
Their pupils dilated, the life force in their eyes quickly dimming until they fell from the sky, lifeless!
A Purple Butterfly flew from Su Yuan’s side, morphing into Shen Die.
“Spiritual attack, a psychic specialist?” Qiong Ying squinted, unconcerned with the subordinates’ deaths.
Studying Shen Die while absorbing the despair from the fallen bodies.
Unlike Beck’s ruthlessness toward his subordinates, these were originally Cancer subordinates, with whom Qiong Ying had little rapport.
Meanwhile, in the distant sky, amidst intense Holy Light and explosions, Rhein’s Knight Captain Shane had a head-sized bloody hole in his chest.
Shane’s dim eyes fell from the sky, hitting the snow with a thud.
Across the snowfield lay the corpses of experts including Wei Chiyang.
All Four Countries’ experts, aside from the retreating Mu Baiying group, were slain by Luna and her subordinates!
“At last, it’s clean.”
Luna’s subordinate praised, “Impressive as always, Lady Luna!”
Luna didn’t respond, instead turning toward Su Yuan and Shen Die, her Saint Light flashing as she flew next to Qiong Ying.
“So the Great Flame Sky Patrol Star Lord finally shows himself?” Luna’s cold voice questioned, “Had enough watching?”
Shen Die nodded, “Indeed, seeing a few repel hundreds, both Star Envoys are formidable.”
Luna’s eyes glinted coldly, “Are you ready to be cleaned up?”
The atmosphere froze. In the next moment, intense Star Power surged from all four!
Shen Die smiled, “It remains to be seen who shall clean up whom…”
