The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1451 - 1450: Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
"Damn, now we’re finished." Su Changfeng gritted his teeth inwardly; he clearly had a chance to kill the Emperor just now, but he hesitated. He was very curious about the Emperor’s true strength and wanted to test his own limits as well. However, he didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
After that punch just now, the energy within his body started to become unstable and couldn’t recover in a short time.
So when the Emperor’s fist came crashing down again, Su Changfeng was caught off guard.
A punch landed squarely on his abdomen, and Su Changfeng’s whole body went tumbling like a kite with a broken string, straight downward.
The Emperor saw this and didn’t intend to give Su Changfeng a chance to react. His tightly packed fists fell like raindrops, ferociously pounding toward Su Changfeng.
The situation suddenly changed; under the Emperor’s assault, Su Changfeng couldn’t mount any resistance whatsoever.
After all, the Emperor was continuously absorbing external power, and his strength was still rising rapidly.
At this moment, Su Changfeng felt immense regret, but in this kind of situation, regretting was of no use.
Then, the Emperor punched Su Changfeng hard, sending him flying into a distant mountain wall, his whole body embedding in the rock. The huge impact sent countless rock fragments rolling down the mountain.
A terrifying rumble ensued.
"What’s happening?" Su Changfeng took the Emperor’s punch and finally fell out of the clouds. Wang Junyi looked up at the scene with a bewildered expression; how could his master, who had always had the upper hand, suddenly falter?
You Meng gritted his teeth and said, "The reason it’s like this is all because of him; it’s deserved. The Emperor now, having absorbed the power of so many masters, is not someone he can contend with. If he had killed the Emperor earlier, it wouldn’t have turned into this."
You Meng’s voice held a hint of anger; she really couldn’t understand what Su Changfeng was thinking. He had so many opportunities to kill the Emperor before, yet he chose not to. Now with the Emperor’s strength continually rising, how could Su Changfeng possibly confront him?
"What’s the plan now, can we help Master somehow?" Wang Junyi asked worriedly.
"Help?" You Meng scoffed coldly, "With your fifth-rank strength, you’d probably die before you got close."
"You Meng, I know my strength is lacking, but what about you? You’re a Primordial Master; you can help my master, right? Haven’t you already formed a pact with Master? If something happens to my master, the Emperor certainly won’t spare you." Wang Junyi looked angrily at You Meng; her uncaring demeanor was hardly befitting of a subordinate.
Besides, if anything really happened to Su Changfeng, she wouldn’t fare well either.
You Meng glared unhappily at Wang Junyi, but he looked back without the slightest fear, staring straight at You Meng.
"I can’t either; I can’t help him," You Meng said.
Of course, You Meng didn’t want anything to happen to Su Changfeng. If he died, the first thing the Emperor would do was likely deal with her.
But in this current situation, You Meng truly felt powerless; a Primordial Master couldn’t play any meaningful role in such a clash of titans.
Rumble...
At this moment, a loud crash came from the mountain wall where Su Changfeng had just caused the mountain to explode.
Rocks clattered down loudly, revealing Su Changfeng’s slightly disheveled figure.
"Su Changfeng, you’ll pay the price for your arrogance, and here, is that price." The Emperor said coldly, the accumulated power within him was enough to severely wound Su Changfeng. Thus, Su Changfeng’s life and death were already in his hands.
Su Changfeng looked indeed a bit battered, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly, as if unaware that he could die at the Emperor’s hands at any moment.
"Do you think you’re the only one who can instantly increase your strength?" Su Changfeng said lightly.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor sneered with disdain; the method to instantly enhance strength was something only he knew in the Tianyuan Continent, and besides this method, no other way existed to quickly boost one’s power.
So to him, this was merely Su Changfeng saying something to scare him.
"Su Changfeng, stop struggling, today you’re destined to die. You’ll pay for your actions!" The Emperor spoke, intending to deliver the final blow to Su Changfeng.
However, just at that moment, the scene changed. A torrent of energy surged fiercely into Su Changfeng’s body.
The clothes on Su Changfeng were instantly reduced to ashes.
Baili Luoyuan and You Meng quickly averted their gaze.
Only Wang Junyi looked proud and said, "I knew Master wouldn’t lose!"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Baili Luoyuan proactively changed the topic, asking You Meng, "Elder You, what’s happening with Sect Master Su, he seems to be mobilizing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power."
You Meng shook her head; she wasn’t quite sure about the situation just now.
In fact, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power was considered the most basic requirement for all cultivators, but she had never heard of anyone who could directly harness nature’s spiritual energy.
"I’m not sure what’s happening either, but his power will likely become more pure and refined. The forced power that the Emperor takes from others can’t compare to such pure strength," You Meng said.
"What are you doing, what’s going on here?"
"I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, how are you doing this?"
Noticing Su Changfeng’s transformation, the Emperor shouted incredulously.
This rapid and frenzied absorption of pure nature’s spiritual energy was beyond the Emperor’s understanding; had the reality not been right before him, he likely wouldn’t have believed that there could be anyone capable of such a feat.
But the fact remained, forcing him to believe, and he clearly knew that if this continued, Su Changfeng’s enhancement would place him in an increasingly difficult position.
He had absorbed the energy of previous emperors and many masters, yet it paled compared to what Su Changfeng was drawing from nature’s spiritual energy, meaning today, he was destined to lose.
"Who exactly are you, is Heaven truly intent on having me perish at your hands?" The Emperor’s voice was filled with reluctance, but the scenario before him had exceeded his control, leaving him with no alternatives.
The Emperor’s only hope now was to seize the opportunity to deliver the final blow to Su Changfeng while he was absorbing spiritual energy.
Therefore, the Emperor no longer hesitated and directly made his move, intending to completely slay Su Changfeng.
"It’s over." Noticing the Emperor suddenly vanish, You Meng’s expression changed instantly.
"What’s going on!" Wang Junyi asked anxiously, wasn’t Master growing stronger? What did You Meng mean?
