The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1450 - 1449: Sudden Turn of Events

"Sect Master Baili, I think you don’t need to worry at all. Given my master’s strength, there’s definitely no problem. Look at me, I’m not worried at all," said Wang Junyi, lying there with an expression of complete nonchalance.

Truthfully, from the beginning to the end, he never worried that Su Changfeng would lose, because in his heart, as long as it was something his master wanted to do, he would definitely achieve it.

Baili Luoyuan glanced at Wang Junyi. How she wished she could face this matter with the same ease and calmness as Wang Junyi. However, she had to consider not only herself but also the fate of the entire Qingluan Sect, so she couldn’t be as carefree as Wang Junyi.

Above the vast black clouds, Su Changfeng indeed occupied an advantageous position. With the help of the White Jade Python, things were much easier for him, and facing the Emperor wasn’t as difficult as he expected.

At least after fighting for so long, Su Changfeng hadn’t felt much oppressive pressure. In contrast, the Emperor on the opposite side was struggling more and more as his energy gradually diminished.

"At this point, do you still think you have a chance?" Su Changfeng looked at him with an indifferent gaze, his voice devoid of much emotion.

The Emperor appeared somewhat haggard; ever since he became the Emperor, he had never been so disgraced.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with unwillingness. The Emperor’s authority in Chenguang Hall had never been challenged like this, and he never imagined that someone could stand against him at Chenguang Hall.

If this drags on, his situation will become increasingly dangerous, but he definitely won’t admit defeat just like that.

"Do you think this is the full extent of my power?" the Emperor said with a vicious tone.

If the Emperor were so easily defeated, he wouldn’t have sat securely in this position for so many years. Su Changfeng wouldn’t naively think that the Emperor would be easy to deal with either.

"At this point, you better show all your strength, or you might not get another chance," Su Changfeng said lightly.

The Emperor’s face turned ugly. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to exert his full strength; it was that doing so would entail unimaginable costs.

Simply using the power of Chenguang Hall required him to use his own lifespan as a price. If he were to forcibly enhance his abilities now, even if he won today, he wouldn’t have much time left to live.

But if he didn’t do so, he might die here today, leaving him with no choice.

"Su Changfeng, since you’re determined to seek death, I’ll fulfill your wish!" With that, the Emperor began frantically absorbing the outside power. His originally declining strength suddenly surged, and even his physical body grew larger and larger.

The experts who had gathered around to watch the commotion started collapse in succession. Their bodies quickly withered away like mummies, as if their essence had been directly extracted.

Seeing this, You Meng’s expression instantly changed. She understood that they ended up like this because the energy in their bodies was seized by the Emperor, and his strength, which was originally at a disadvantage, was now surging anew.

"Come over quickly!" You Meng said to Baili Luoyuan and Wang Junyi.

Though Wang Junyi didn’t understand what was happening, seeing those who suddenly collapsed, he realized that the situation had changed. So he dared not delay and quickly crawled to You Meng’s side.

"What is actually happening?" Wang Junyi asked You Meng with a face full of shock.

"The Emperor absorbed their internal energy to quickly enhance his own strength. It seems he is preparing for a final confrontation with Su Changfeng," You Meng explained.

"How could he do such a thing? It’s simply too ruthless!" Watching the experts collapse one after another, Wang Junyi’s face turned pale with fear. Fortunately, he had You Meng’s protection; otherwise, his fate might have been the same as theirs now.

You Meng sighed slightly in her heart. The Emperor’s actions would certainly deplete many experts from Chenguang Hall. Clearly, he had lost his senses in his effort to defeat Su Changfeng.

At this rate, even if he were to defeat Su Changfeng, Xingluo’s strength would greatly diminish compared to before. If this matter was discovered by the remaining two countries, they would surely seize the opportunity to target Xingluo, making Xingluo’s situation truly perilous.

"I underestimated him. Little thing, perform well in a moment, and we’ll aim to defeat him in one strike. If we continue to drag this out, I’m afraid none of the experts from Chenguang Hall will remain," said Su Changfeng to the White Jade Python.

He naturally saw clearly what was happening below. Although Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan had You Meng’s protection, they shouldn’t have any problems in the short term. However, the Emperor at this moment was clearly disregarding everything else. If they didn’t stop him in time, the three of them would be in danger sooner or later.

Although they weren’t especially important to Su Changfeng, he was indeed a person who valued relationships. Furthermore, since he had brought them to Chenguang Hall, he naturally had to ensure their safety.

The White Jade Python flicked its tongue, seemingly understanding Su Changfeng’s intentions.

"The time has come. You attack from the front; let me figure out what to do," Su Changfeng said.

With that, the White Jade Python launched itself forward, moving at a rapid speed, reaching the Emperor’s side in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Emperor, who was still wildly absorbing energy, harshly scolded, "Beast, get back!"

With that, he clenched his fist and slammed it down on the White Jade Python’s head, causing several streaks of lightning to appear in the sky.

The White Jade Python flew straight back, retreating nearly a hundred meters, shook its head, and then launched a second round of attacks.

"Humph, just a beast, yet dares to challenge me, courting death!" The Emperor’s body was expanding faster and faster, now resembling a giant. The sound of the air exploding could be heard whenever he swung his fists.

The White Jade Python directly charged forward, using its head to take the Emperor’s punch, because it needed to distract the Emperor to create an opportunity for Su Changfeng.

Once again struck by the overbearing punch and sent flying over a hundred meters, the White Jade Python’s head was already spinning, with its pupils turning redder.

"Trying to ambush me? Su Changfeng, you have no chance left." Although dealing with the White Jade Python, the Emperor’s awareness of Su Changfeng remained undisturbed.

So when Su Changfeng appeared from behind, the Emperor swiftly turned around.

A punch was thrown, colliding with Su Changfeng’s fist at the moment of impact.

With a bang, a thunderous noise echoed around their ears.

Su Changfeng and the Emperor each retreated dozens of meters. Even though both were injured by the other’s punch, due to the continual energy supply to the Emperor, it didn’t significantly affect him.
