The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1448 - 1447: On the Brink
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
The Emperor, who was initially confident, felt a hint of unease upon seeing the White Jade Python appear. After all, the White Jade Python is an Ancient Strange Beast, second only to the Silver Flood Dragon according to the records, and defeating Primordial Level martial artists would be effortless for it.
Although he now possesses the power of the Holy Spirit Realm, dealing with the White Jade Python is not so easy.
Moreover, his opponent is not only the White Jade Python but also the powerful Su Changfeng.
At this moment, the Emperor finally understood why Su Changfeng was so arrogant; the trump card he holds is truly beyond his imagination.
However, at this point, it’s too late for regrets. The Emperor has to quickly deal with the present trouble because he can’t maintain his current state for long.
"Su Changfeng, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to let a Exotic Beast help you now?" The Emperor looked at Su Changfeng, hoping he would withdraw the White Jade Python, which would increase his chances of victory.
But Su Changfeng wouldn’t fall for the trick. What he needed to do was to solve the immediate problem as soon as possible.
"What’s the matter, are you afraid? If you’re willing to voluntarily leave Chenguang Hall and give up the Emperor’s position, I naturally won’t make things difficult for you," said Su Changfeng.
The Emperor’s face turned ugly. Giving up the Emperor’s position—a behavior that tramples dignity underfoot—he would rather die than do!
"Arrogant to the extreme. Since you refuse to repent, don’t blame me for being impolite." With those words, the Emperor’s figure flickered and appeared in front of Su Changfeng.
The Emperor making a move was originally a matter of great attention. After all, the martial artists gathered around hoped the Emperor would teach this arrogant Su Changfeng a lesson. However, upon seeing the Ancient Strange Beast, the White Jade Python, their feelings became mixed.
Initially, they thought Chang Feng was doomed, but this idea became rather shaky after the appearance of the White Jade Python.
With the aid of a powerful Ancient Strange Beast, whether the Emperor could defeat Su Changfeng became uncertain.
"This epic battle might completely change Xingluo."
"Even with a Exotic Beast as powerful as the White Jade Python, it’s not that easy for the Emperor to handle. Could it be... could this guy really become the next Emperor?"
"Who knows, let’s wait and see."
"..."
As everyone conversed, the battle had already begun.
In an instant, a large area of dark clouds covered the sky above Chenguang Hall. The pressure was like a mountain pressing down, making it hard for many who were slightly weaker to stand normally, forcing them to squat on the ground.
As for Wang Junyi, he simply lay down on the ground. Unable to resist the pressure due to its intensity, he just let things be.
In truth, this posture allowed Wang Junyi to better observe the battle above.
"Their moves are too fast, I can’t see anything. My master finally made a move, am I going to miss it like this?" Wang Junyi complained with a tone of grievance.
In fact, many were like Wang Junyi, completely unable to capture the movements of the Emperor and Su Changfeng. Even You Meng, a Primordial Master, could only vaguely discern a few techniques.
Although it was impossible to see clearly, one could still feel that Su Changfeng was responding very easily. With the White Jade Python’s support, Su Changfeng’s condition was extraordinarily good.
"It seems the Emperor’s position truly has to be given up." You Meng couldn’t help but sigh, even though the battle was still ongoing, the current situation made Su Changfeng’s victory seem very likely.
Upon hearing this, Baili Luoyuan couldn’t help but ask, "Elder You, do you mean Su Changfeng can defeat the Emperor?"
"The Emperor hasn’t yet exerted his full strength, but the same goes for Su Changfeng. They both are holding back for now. However, with the White Jade Python present, even if the Emperor uses all his strength, he probably won’t be able to deal with Su Changfeng," replied You Meng.
Back in the day, she never dared to imagine witnessing such events, but now that she had seen it, there was no choice but to believe.
Baili Luoyuan couldn’t help but widen her eyes. Until then, Su Changfeng was always a powerful martial artist in her mind, but it was only at this moment she truly felt the demeanor of a strong warrior.
His strength was formidable, so powerful that he could contend with the Emperor!
"Of course, my master is especially powerful, how could the Emperor defeat him? I think you’re overestimating the Emperor. In my heart, my master is the mightiest in the Tianyuan Continent, others simply don’t compare," Wang Junyi couldn’t help but laugh.
Though he hadn’t expected Su Changfeng’s strength to be this formidable, this guy would never miss an opportunity to boast.
Dongling, Wangyun Mountain.
These days, everyone in Dongling had been keeping an eye on the events at Wangyun Mountain, all because of a mysterious woman, whose name was unknown, defeated all the skilled martial artists in Dongling; despite everyone’s calls, the top martial artist, Yu Changfeng, hadn’t appeared, leading many to suspect he was deliberately hiding.
There were even rumors that Yu Changfeng couldn’t defeat the opponent and thus hesitated to come out, causing the mysterious woman on Wangyun Mountain to rapidly ascend in status.
Even the Dongling Emperor didn’t know what to do.
In recent times, because many experts were humiliated at the hands of the woman, challengers had become few and far between.
A mysterious woman had achieved feats on Wangyun Mountain unlike any before and had even claimed it as her own.
In the eyes of many cultivators, attaining such fame meant having supreme status, something originally quite joyful. However, she seemed utterly indifferent to these.
She rarely smiled, only when facing her daughter would she show a captivating smile that could enchant the crowd. Aside from that, she maintained an icy demeanor.
"Mommy, why hasn’t daddy come yet? Niannian misses daddy." The little one buried her head in the woman’s embrace, showing signs of fatigue.
Then, the mysterious woman who made all Dongling’s martial artists tremble, gently patted the little one’s back and said, "Niannian, daddy doesn’t seem to be here, but we can’t go anywhere else right now."
"Why?" The little one looked at the woman with confusion, not understanding her mother’s words.
The woman’s gaze fell in the direction of the Sourceless Forest. Just recently, a great disturbance occurred there, and she knew a powerful Exotic Beast had appeared, yet to leave Dongling, one had to pass through the Sourceless Forest.
If it were just her, she would be willing to try, but since she was with Niannian, she couldn’t make such decisions lightly.
For her, the world before her was entirely new and unfamiliar; she couldn’t determine what she might encounter. That man cherished this daughter deeply, and she too, naturally, would carefully protect the little one.
