Chapter 781 - 603: Drawing the Sword
Chapter 781: Chapter 603: Drawing the Sword
The ground shook gradually from all directions as soon as Yellow Lion Tiger’s voice fell.
Birds and beasts scattered, trees toppled. From a distance, countless dust clouds rose, seemingly indicating numerous Star Beasts converging from afar, including even the aura of Radiant Moon Level.
Yellow Lion Tiger grinned, “Colleagues, let’s take action and intimidate them first!”
“Alright!”
Everyone, including Fu Shan and Zhang Qianyi, responded in unison. Then, they leaped into the air to engage around the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar.
The intent was not to truly protect the pillar, but to use thunderous methods to intimidate the Star Beasts for a few days.
After everyone left, Su Yuan remained and gazed into the depths of You Man Forest. An odd expression appeared on his face.
“Ruan Ruan and Antonios, are they really here…?”
Ever since entering the You Man Forest, Su Yuan had sensed through his spiritual perception that Ruan Ruan seemed to be deep within the forest.
According to Bai Chengyun’s intelligence, there were indeed many Radiant Moon Level Star Beasts in the You Man Forest. It was an excellent place for harvesting Star Cores and upgrading the Demon Saber. He wondered how far the two had progressed…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
“Are there really no more Star Beasts coming?”
Fu Shan and the others looked at the surrounding corpses. Except for four Waning Moon Level Star Beasts, the rest were below Shining Star Level.
Half a day ago, no Upper Three-level Star Beasts had approached, far fewer than expected.
Fu Shan asked, “Major Huang, it doesn’t seem as dangerous as we thought here in the You Man Forest?”
Yellow Lion Tiger also frowned, “It is quite strange. This forest holds significant strategic value. Previously, the high number of Radiant Moon Star Beasts kept us from advancing here…”
Fang Li said, “Although we don’t know why, it seems like a good thing. If no Star Beasts come for now, we can fully prepare to face Gerard.”
Talking about this, everyone became serious and began their preparations…
Another half day passed in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Zhang Qianyi, who was scouting ahead, seemed to sense something. With a flick of his hand, he crushed a Jade Talisman and disappeared into a whiff of Clear Wind.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a Wusa military uniform stealthily approached. From his rank, he was a Major.
In the armies of East Continent countries, a Colonel had to be Full Moon Level, while Majors and Lieutenants were typically Waning Moon Stage.
At this moment, the Wusa Major cautiously advanced, following the strategic deployment to encircle the area with the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar.
Suddenly, the Wusa Major stopped upon noticing something.
Ahead, the space was covered with a massive web of countless fine white threads.
Upon closer inspection, the white threads on the web were not “threads” but extremely fine and sharp “wind threads.”
The ability to manipulate the Wind Element to such a degree was beyond ordinary people!
A cold sweat broke out on the Wusa Major’s back. If he had reacted a moment later, he would have been shredded by the wind threads!
But just then, the Wusa Major felt a sharp pain in his throat.
“Huh?!”
He touched his throat and found a handful of blood. There was a barely visible wind thread on his neck!
His soul left his body in fear. He tried to retreat, but the wind thread moved first, swiftly slicing through his neck!
“???”
His expression froze, and his head flew off.
As the wind blew, Zhang Qianyi reappeared.
“One down.”
He glanced at the Wusa Major’s corpse and turned into a whiff of Clear Wind, flying away again.
Not only him, but three other assassins were also lying in ambush, targeting the northern scouts.
However, the enemy quickly noticed. Soon, intense black light accompanied by screams came from afar.
Judging by the sound, a Waning Moon Level Sky Patrol Officer Envoy had been discovered.
“Envoy Liu is dead…” Zhang Qianyi’s expression froze, “Detected so quickly. Impressive…”
Since they were exposed, Zhang Qianyi did not linger and swiftly retreated…
In front of the valley, Yellow Lion Tiger, Fu Shan, Fang Li, and others already hovered in the air.
Ahead, a point of black light emerged in the void and expanded into a deep black vortex, spreading rapidly in all directions.
Moments later, nearly twenty people in white-brown uniforms appeared, floating in the air.
Gerard, in white with a black moon emblem, looked down at Su Yuan and others, grinning.
“Oh? As expected, the elites from Sky Patrol Department and Firehawk Guard.”
Next to him, Sam looked at Yellow Lion Tiger, “Major Huang, so many of you came here to seize the Tiger Vein first. Bold indeed~”
“Green-faced Bat Sam!” Yellow Lion Tiger frowned, not expecting his presence.
Sam was an elite of the Wusa Royal Knight Order, active recently in the Central War Zone, with formidable strength.
Zhuang An Yin’s intelligence had not mentioned him, showing Sam avoided Zhuang An Yin’s scouts.
Gerard eyed Yellow Lion Tiger with interest and asked Sam, “Firehawk Guard Major, Sam, how does he compare to you?”
Sam smiled, “Yellow Lion Tiger, known as the Fiery Flame Beast, is very strong, likely on par with me.”
“Is that so… Let me try.”
Gerard, intrigued, pointed southward. A twisted black hole formed, rapidly expanding toward them.
“Hm? Such a powerful suction force!”
The southerners felt alarmed, quickly using Star Power to resist.
The black hole grew larger and stronger, likely pulling everyone in soon!
Yet neither Yellow Lion Tiger nor the other Full Moon Levels acted.
Gerard and the others felt puzzled but then saw a young man with a plain appearance and a straight sword by Su Yuan’s side.
“Zheng!”
Shen Tu Yuan drew his sword. The blade light, like snow and moon, leapt up and split the black hole into two!
“Ah…!”
A scream came from behind the black hole as a Qiguang Major got sliced, bursting into blood mist!
“Major Andrew!”
The sudden change shocked the northern elites!
Even Gerard’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the newcomer.
After his strike, Shen Tu Yuan sheathed his sword, meeting Gerard’s gaze without flinching.
One in a black moon white uniform, the other in a white moon black uniform.
The contrast between the two was stark.
Gerard coldly said, “Sky Patrol Moon Monarch?”
“White Tiger Upper Moon, Shen Tu Yuan.”
Their terrifying auras clashed, nearly freezing the surrounding space!
Suddenly, Shen Tu Yuan disappeared, reappearing before Gerard in an instant!
“So fast!”
Gerard’s pupils shrank. He pulled out a black long spear to block.
Shen Tu Yuan’s quick draw slashed out, a terrifying white arc rising into the sky!
“Clang!” Gerard was forced back dozens of meters!
Gerard steadied himself, looking at his spear. The Dragon Spine Black Spear crafted from Black Dragon’s spine had a dent!
The sharp blade light even cut a blood line on his chest through the spear.
“Impressive…”
Gerard licked his lips, eyes burning with excitement.
Sam and others quickly reacted, attacking Shen Tu Yuan.
“Holy Light Cross Sword!”
“Light of Punishment!”
“Fury of the Barbarian Bear!”
“…”
Shen Tu Yuan sheathed his sword, gripping the handle as icy killing intent surged!
Sam’s pupils contracted, shouting, “Retreat!”
“White Tiger Saber Drawing Skill… Mangzhong.”
Shen Tu Yuan’s speed was extreme as he slashed countless times in an instant!
White blade lights shot out like blinding wheat awns, shredding the incoming attacks!
Blood mist erupted everywhere. Besides Sam, all northern elites were injured, some severely, one dead!
“Everyone, retreat!”
Seeing Shen Tu Yuan’s lethal blade light, Sam shouted again.
A black spiral light shot from afar as Gerard charged!
Shen Tu Yuan paused slightly, then drew his sword to meet the attack.
“Clang!!”
Their weapons clashed, Shen Tu Yuan’s sword precisely hitting the spear’s tip!
The void between them shattered like glass, and black-and-white spiritual power roared, shredding everything around!
“So strong!”
Both sides were shocked.
Even Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed.
Without any fancy moves, their simple, direct combat was already too much for ordinary Full Moon Levels to handle!
“Dark City!”
Gerard raised his Dragon-level Black Spear, a black domain enveloping Shen Tu Yuan.
“Moon Monarch Shen Tu!”
Fu Shan and others were shocked.
But Yellow Lion Tiger shouted, “Moon Monarch Shen Tu is strong enough to handle his opponent. We only need to deal with the rest!”
“Indeed!” Fang Li nodded, eyes on the northern elites.
Wusa’s Royal Knight Major Sam, plus over ten Qiguang and Wusa’s Radiant Moon Level warriors.
Almost half of the Radiant Moon Level elites from the east frontline were here!
“Kill!”
Sam issued his command.
“Envoy Su, please!”
“Alright.”
Su Yuan made a sealing gesture, and water light filled the air, with water vapor covering a radius of over twenty miles!
