The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1452 - 1451: First Clash

"It seems the Emperor plans to attack your master while he’s replenishing his Spiritual Energy. I wonder if your master can withstand it," You Meng said.

Wang Junyi gritted his teeth and cursed, "The Emperor resorts to all sorts of disgraceful means. If he’s so capable, why doesn’t he have an honest fight with my master?"

You Meng smiled helplessly. It’s already a matter of life and death now; does the process matter so much? Once he kills Su Changfeng, he can continue being the Emperor, and no one would dare say he used underhanded means.

Since ancient times, winners are kings, losers are outlaws. It’s always been this way.

At this moment, Su Changfeng had his eyes tightly closed, seeming completely unaware of the Emperor’s plans.

He continued to frantically absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, as if facing a feast with no intention of stopping.

With a loud bang, a huge sound came from the sky as the endless Spiritual Energy seemed to materialize, spreading out in ripples.

The rapidly charging Emperor hadn’t even made a move before being pushed back a hundred meters, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

"What’s going on?" The Emperor’s expression changed. He had planned to strike when Su Changfeng was unaware, to capture him in one fell swoop. He hadn’t expected to be directly repelled by the surge of energy around Su Changfeng.

The key was that the rebound of such energy was enormous, injuring him heavily before he could react.

Conversely, Su Changfeng showed no change in expression, and the energy surging around him grew even more robust.

"Such rich Spiritual Power. Even without active summoning, it can fend off the Emperor. It seems my worries were unfounded," You Meng remarked with mixed feelings.

Su Changfeng didn’t actively strike, yet the energy surrounding him protected him just in time. Although You Meng didn’t understand how this happened, she knew the Emperor was out of options.

If he couldn’t harm Su Changfeng now, once Su Changfeng counterattacked, the Emperor would certainly die.

"Master is truly amazing! I knew he would definitely win!" Wang Junyi said proudly.

You Meng didn’t refute Wang Junyi this time; after all, he was right. Having such a powerful master is indeed a prestigious thing.

Even she felt a bit of envy towards Wang Junyi. How great would it be to have such a master?

"Looks like Sect Master Su is really going to get his wish," Baili Luoyuan said with a smile.

You Meng nodded, just about to say something when her expression suddenly changed, and she looked towards the Emperor.

"Not good!" You Meng exclaimed urgently.

"What’s wrong? Why do you jump like that? You’re scaring us for nothing," Wang Junyi expressed his dissatisfaction with You Meng’s jumpiness. She was, after all, a Primordial Master, yet showed no semblance of one.

"The Emperor plans to attack us," You Meng said.

Just now, she clearly felt an aura lock onto her. Obviously, this aura was emanating from the Emperor.

This showed that, unable to deal with Su Changfeng, the Emperor set his sights on them.

She and Baili Luoyuan were unimportant to Su Changfeng, but Wang Junyi was Su Changfeng’s disciple. The Emperor intended to use this to threaten Su Changfeng, which made sense.

Upon hearing this, Wang Junyi was startled and quickly hid behind You Meng.

Currently, Su Changfeng is still frantically absorbing Spiritual Energy, certainly not able to care for their side. If the Emperor truly intended to act against them, with their strength, they surely couldn’t resist.

"Why? Why would he attack us?" Wang Junyi was nearly in tears.

You Meng didn’t answer. The Emperor, who was in the sky, suddenly vanished, apparently ready to make his move.

"What on earth is your master doing? If he doesn’t stop the Emperor, we’re done for," You Meng couldn’t help but glance at Su Changfeng, visibly anxious. With her strength, protecting Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan, not to mention herself, seemed impossible.

And at this moment, Su Changfeng wasn’t just purely absorbing the Spiritual Energy as You Meng described.

In fact, just before, a voice suddenly emerged in Su Changfeng’s mind, deep and heavy!

The voice said it was very interested in Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng couldn’t accurately identify who the speaker was, but now he could be sure the voice came from the Sourceless Forest.

Su Changfeng knew he would meet the Silver Flood Dragon sooner or later. However, he hadn’t expected his first interaction with it would be under such circumstances.

What’s even more incredible is that the Silver Flood Dragon could speak human language.

"Why do you want to destroy Tianyuan Continent?" Su Changfeng asked in his mind.

"I’m the true ruler of Tianyuan Continent. Humans have stolen my things, so naturally, I’ll take them back," replied the Silver Flood Dragon.

Su Changfeng furrowed his brow. He wasn’t familiar with the history of Tianyuan Continent and was unclear about the Silver Flood Dragon’s previous relationship with humans. But since it had lived for a thousand years as an Ancient Divine Beast, perhaps before humans appeared, it was indeed the master of these lands.

However, times keep evolving. More advanced civilizations have emerged, so it’s not surprising to have a new ruler.

"But you already possess the Sourceless Forest. Isn’t that enough?" Su Changfeng asked.

"Seems like you, too, plan to go against me?" Silver Flood Dragon asked.

Despite the distance from the Silver Flood Dragon, Su Changfeng understood that it hadn’t fully recovered its strength; hence it remained within the Sourceless Forest. But even so, its power was formidable, so the best choice was not to clash with it.

Yet, it was unlikely for Su Changfeng to restrain his temper before an Exotic Beast or even bow down. That’s just not possible.

Besides, a battle between him and the Silver Flood Dragon was only a matter of time, so he didn’t need to feel inferior.

"I’m human; you’re a beast. If you insist on destroying Tianyuan Continent, naturally, I’ll stop you," Su Changfeng stated.

"Ha ha ha... Foolish, arrogant human. Do you really think you can oppose me?" The Silver Flood Dragon’s tone was full of disdain.

Su Changfeng snorted, responding bluntly, "You’re trapped in the Sourceless Forest by humans, are you not? If the forest’s array can imprison you, it means you’re not invincible."

"Foolish creature. That’s merely by design. I need to fall into slumber to hide my aura. As for those people, they’re just pawns in my game," the Silver Flood Dragon said.

Su Changfeng furrowed his brow. What did the Silver Flood Dragon mean by that? Why were those people merely pawns? Why did it need to hide its aura?
