476: Chapter 476 The Golden Toad Yawned, and the Quasi-Emperor Gone

Wang Baobao's voice was milky and childish.

But on this silent, almost suffocating Starry Sky Floating Island, it carried exceptionally clearly.

Extraordinarily far.

The surrounding Prodigies all turned their heads in unison.

Those faces that were pale just moments ago due to the Golden Toad's Imperial Might were now filled with a uniform expression: What on earth are you talking about?

"She said... eat that Golden Toad?"

"A Great Emperor Realm Starry Sky Giant Beast, the Three-legged Golden Toad! She wants to eat it?"

"Has this little girl's brain been crushed by the Imperial Might?"

The Prodigies looked at each other, all thinking their ears had malfunctioned.

Su Chen looked down at Wang Baobao's little face, which was drooling with greed.

Then he looked up at the Golden Toad, whose back reached the clouds.

[Forget it.]

[You really can't chew this thing.]

[Besides, if you eat it, who's going to guard the door for me?]

"You can't eat it." Su Chen expressionlessly patted Wang Baobao's head. "That's not food, that's... service staff."

"Huh?" Wang Baobao tilted her head, clearly not understanding.

Su Chen didn't bother to explain and swept his gaze toward the teammates behind him.

Jian Buping had already gripped the starfall sword in his hand, his knuckles turning white.

His complexion was not good.

It wasn't the kind of fanaticism that said "I'm going to fight you to the death," but rather a pain caused by the clash of reason and instinct after being suppressed by absolute power.

"Boss Su."

His voice was steady, but the hand holding the sword was shaking.

"This Golden Toad's aura is too stable. It's not the kind of Pseudo-Emperor forced up by Medicinal Pills."

He paused, his tone dropping several degrees.

"It's a genuine Great Emperor."

"If we want to pass, we either endure the Heart Demon Trial it releases, or—"

He glanced at Su Chen.

"Fight it head-on."

The words were spoken very lightly, but even Jian Buping knew how ridiculous that was.

Fight a Great Emperor-level Starry Sky Giant Beast head-on?

The last person who said that, their bone fragments are still giving off a scent by the Immortal Passing Pool.

The monk Monk Jiese was much more optimistic than Jian Buping.

At least on the surface.

He pressed his palms together and performed a standard Buddhist salute.

The Vajra Dharma Image behind him tried to poke its head out—

The Imperial Might pressed down.

The Dharma Image retracted on the spot.

Like a turtle shrinking into its shell.

Monk Jiese's mouth twitched, but he forced himself to maintain his expression.

"amitabha."

"Benefactor Su need not worry."

"This Poor Monk observes this Golden Toad's features; its eyes contain anger, its frog mouth is tightly shut, it clearly has a great Karmic Obstruction entwined around it, knotted in its heart."

"It stands here surely waiting for a fated high monk to chant scriptures and enlighten it."

"This Poor Monk is untalented, but is willing..."

"Stop your legs from shaking," Su Chen coldly interrupted him.

Monk Jiese looked down at his two legs, which were vibrating at a high frequency, and fell silent.

"A... amitabha. This is This Poor Monk's foot-stamping, used for regulating breath, it's not shaking..."

No one believed him.

Hua Nongying did not speak.

She clung tightly to Su Chen's arm. In those fox-like eyes that could charm all living beings, there was currently neither flirtatiousness nor calculation.

Only pure terror.

Su Chen listened to their scattered discussions and looked at the crowd of Prodigies ahead, who were caught in a dilemma and acting like headless flies.

Su Chen closed his eyes for a moment.

[No.]

[No matter what, I don't want to take a bath with five hundred men.]

[There must be another way.]

He opened his eyes.

His gaze fell once again on the Three-legged Golden Toad.

To be precise, it fell on the "small mountain" made of various Magic Treasures piled under the Golden Toad's body.

He stared for three seconds.

The corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

[Got it.]

Just then, a commotion came from a distance.

A young man wearing silver-white battle armor suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

He held a long spear emanating intense Imperial Might. His face was resolute, and his eyes were filled with determination.

"Enough!"

He shouted to the companions behind him.

"Rather than waiting here for death, it's better to give it our all! Everyone, who is willing to strike with me and work together to kill this beast?"

Several Prodigies with decent strength looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and stepped forward one after another.

"Fine! I'll take this gamble with you!"

"Working together, we might not be without the power to fight!"

The few of them emboldened each other, pushing their spiritual power to the limit.

The silver-armored youth took the lead, turning into a streak of white lightning and charging out!

"Break!!"

The spear thrust out!

Carrying a terrifyingly sharp Qi sufficient to pierce through stars, it stabbed fiercely toward the Golden Toad's massive frog head!

"Roar—!"

The other Prodigies also struck at the same time, Divine Abilities and techniques pouring down like a rainstorm!

The momentum was extremely grand!

Su Chen stood in the distance with his arms crossed.

His expression was indifferent.

Like he was watching a performance whose ending he already knew.

He silently counted down in his heart.

[Three.]

[Two.]

[One.]

Boom.

The Golden Toad didn't even open its eyes.

It just slightly puffed its mouth.

A visible wave of golden air overflowed from the edge of its frog mouth.

It was light and airy.

Gentle as a spring breeze brushing against the face.

Then that silver-armored youth, along with those "warriors" behind him, were grabbed by their ankles as if by an invisible giant hand and sent flying back in unison.

The silver-white battle armor crumbled into fine powder in the air.

The long spear snapped into two pieces.

The youth's body tumbled over twenty times in the vacuum, finally plunging headfirst into the distant immortal mist, his life or death unknown.

From the moment they attacked to being bounced away.

It took less than half a breath.

And that Golden Toad, from beginning to end, hadn't even lifted an eyelid.

A trace of golden saliva from its yawn still hung at the corner of its mouth.

The whole place was silent.

A deathly silence.

All the Prodigies retreated ten steps together, their faces as pale as paper.

Su Chen stood in place, coldly watching this one-sided crushing.

Then he sighed.

[This toad just blew a breath and fanned away a Peak Quasi-Emperor, and it held back.]

[It shows it's not here to kill people. It's simply... squatting here to collect fees.]

[No, it's squatting here and has also taken all the Magic Treasures of those people from before.]

[It's not a doorkeeper.]

[It's a toll collector.]

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

An extremely bold, extremely outrageous, but also extremely fitting thought for his merchant instincts instantly formed in his mind.
