Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1751: 549: Counterattack at the Brink_5

Witnessing this, Irene Liss instantly unleashed her might, confronting the onslaught. The chilling Meat Tumor Long Spear hurtled towards Su Ming.

Just as the two were on the verge of collision.

Su Ming expertly guided Ilyas, performing an ultimate evasive maneuver, narrowly avoiding the strike.

Crack!

The ice-blue Meat Tumor Long Spear grazed Ilyas’s form, exposing its inner biological structure.

In that fleeting moment, Su Ming drove a spear directly into Irene Liss’s chest.

The instant the Dragon Base Spear’s tip pierced through, Irene Liss’s left hand shot out, seizing the Dragon Base Spear.

Immediately, the entire Dragon Base Spear came to a halt.

“This is not good!”

A look of alarm crossed Su Ming’s face as he compelled Ilyas to forcefully wrench the Dragon Base Spear free and retreat.

“Foolish.”

Irene Liss unleashed her full prowess, causing a ring of ice-blue light to materialize above her head. Terrifying cold radiated outward, manifesting an Absolute Ice Seal domain.

Ilyas was instantly encased in ice, becoming a statue.

“My foolish sister, now you shall be reunited with me once more.”

Irene Liss extended her left hand, pressing it against Ilyas’s frozen form. Her entire hand plunged into the ice, digging deeper and voraciously absorbing Ilyas’s strength.

“Ilyas!”

Su Ming cried out towards Ilyas.

Enduring immense agony, Ilyas, in a desperate surge, shattered the ice prison. Multiple tentacles erupted, violently impaling Irene Liss’s body and reversing the flow of power absorption.

“Hmph, still fighting for survival, but it’s all in vain!”

Irene Liss countered with icy disdain.

At this precise moment, Su Ming’s eyes narrowed. A formidable spiritual power erupted, successfully establishing a connection with Irene Liss.

Irene Liss’s spirit faltered momentarily. When she regained her senses, she found herself amidst the desolate landscape of an Ancient Battlefield.

Fractured weapons lay scattered across the ground, interspersed with corpses, their blood painting the earth a deep crimson.

At the heart of this Ancient Battlefield stood a solitary black throne.

Su Ming, adorned in a black Dragon Robe and crowned with the Crown of Silence, occupied the throne, with Ilyas lying supine at his feet.

Irene Liss approached Su Ming, her voice laced with coldness.

“Is this your final gambit?”

“Indeed, sister, you have been defeated!”

Ilyas chimed in, addressing Su Ming.

“Relying solely on him, a mere mortal?”

Irene Liss remained unfazed, exuding confidence. She was acutely aware of her spiritual strength’s might, certain that no mere human could overcome her.

“Is that so? Then let us put it to the test.”

Su Ming raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Swoosh!

Irene Liss was instantly plunged into the vast expanse of deep space, yet she didn’t fall; instead, she floated.

“Merely this, and you intend to consume me?”

Irene Liss unleashed her full power, causing the surrounding deep space to begin freezing over.

Ilyas, observing this turn of events, was stunned and incredulous – it was the first time she had witnessed someone capable of resisting Su Ming’s spiritual power.

However, at that very instant, from the depths of the void, a monstrous figure emerged, its scarlet eyes blazing ominously.

“What is this…”

Upon beholding those eyes, Irene Liss’s cold demeanor instantly shifted to surprise.

She felt an invisible, colossal hand constricting her essence.

Irene Liss’s spirit was immediately suppressed, and her physical form ceased its relentless draining of Ilyas’s strength.

“Now is our chance!”

Su Ming urgently instructed Ilyas.

Seizing the opportunity, Ilyas channeled all her might, frantically siphoning power from Irene Liss.

In mere moments, Irene Liss felt her strength rapidly depleting.

A flicker of fear crossed her face.

Yet, fate intervened. As Ilyas’s frenzied extraction continued, its pace gradually slackened. Irene Liss’s body, entwined with the tentacles, began to freeze.

At this critical juncture, Irene Liss’s innate abilities activated.

Irene Liss violently unleashed her power, shattering the connected tentacles, severing the spiritual link, and rapidly retreating.

Concurrently, the icy glaze encasing Ilyas began to melt away.

“What a pity, I never anticipated that the peculiar ice attribute your sister merged with would be her salvation,”

Ilyas expressed with profound regret.

Su Ming’s brow furrowed as he fixed his gaze upon Irene Liss.

Irene Liss glanced at Su Ming, sensing a terrifying presence. Overcome by instinctual fear, she transformed into a streak of light and fled.

Observing Irene Liss’s swift departure, Su Ming chose not to pursue. Instead, he turned to Ilyas and said,

“Let us depart!”

“Understood!”

Ilyas replied softly.

Su Ming guided Ilyas, and they both transformed into streaks of light, soaring away.

…

Meanwhile, in the nearby expanse of the starry sky, the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme and the Holy Shadow Fortress congregated, awaiting with palpable anxiety.

Coronan and the others, though having retreated, had not ventured far.

Within the Thunder Extreme’s central command center.

Ankaga and his companions paced restlessly, like ants on a hot surface, their voices filled with worry.

“Boss, why haven’t you returned yet?”

“Could something have gone wrong?”

“No, my faith lies with Su Ming.”

An Ruoxue uttered with a gentle tone, her lip pressed between her teeth.

Just as a wave of immense worry washed over everyone, a sudden ping on the scanning radar revealed a green blip.

Timi’s voice chimed with pure delight.

“Lord Su Ming has returned!”

“Wonderful news!”

An Ruoxue and the rest chorused with immense joy.

At that very moment, the communication channel opened, and a holographic projection materialized before them.

“Su Ming, you’re safe!”

An Ruoxue and the others inquired with evident concern.

“I’m unharmed; prepare for an immediate withdrawal!”

Su Ming conveyed his instructions to the assembled group.

“Understood!”

An Ruoxue and the others promptly acknowledged.

Shortly after, Su Ming piloted Ilyas into the Thunder Extreme, and the vast fleet commenced its departure.
