736: Chapter Saint Armor Blade King

At the critical moment, two beams of light, platinum and dark red, flashed past, intersecting.

“Clang!” A crisp metallic clang echoed, and the Insect Emperor Guard's movements suddenly froze.

Fine lines of light simultaneously appeared on its brow, throat, and heart, with blood gushing from them.

Su Wuming's Light Sword and Duanmu Yan's short blade had pierced its body from left and right, respectively.

“This time…it’s…really…over…”

Duanmu Yan gasped as he withdrew his weapon, his body trembling slightly, clearly having expended too much physical strength.

The Insect Emperor Guard's body transformed into silver sand and dispersed, but Su Wuming wouldn't waste it, collecting all the silver sand.

He turned his head to look in a certain direction; the Shura Armor sensed a more terrifying energy reaction there.

“The Insect Emperor's true body is about to awaken.”

Su Wuming nodded slightly, his Light Sword re-condensing in his hand. He looked at Duanmu Yan and asked, “Can you still fight?”

Duanmu Yan stood up, and the cracks in his Shura Armor began to self-repair, albeit extremely slowly.

He took out several energy crystals from his storage space; these energy crystals shimmered with colorful light, exuding a rich energy Aura.

He then absorbed them into the Shura Armor, beginning to restore his energy.

Duanmu Yan flexed his wrist, his blade pointing at the massive shadow that suddenly rose on the horizon.

“If the boss doesn’t retreat, why should I?!”

Suddenly, five brilliant lights flew from behind, streaking across the sky like meteors, finally arriving before Su Wuming and the other. The newcomers were Su Fen and his three companions, along with Su Yao, who had arrived via a teleportation array.

“Boss, Captain, we’re here!”

On the other side of the Steel Forest, at Yue Shan's feet, Yue Shan was stepping on two, and holding one barely alive Insect Emperor Guard in each hand.

The Insect Emperor Guards in his hands were being rapidly absorbed, melting quickly like ice, transforming into streams of energy that surged into his body.

Yue Shan suddenly looked up into the distance, his brows tightly furrowed, because he felt a dangerous Aura rapidly moving away.

He murmured to himself, “Did the Insect Emperor act early because of that 010?”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

A howling sound, as if from an ancient abyss, like a sleeping beast startled awake, raged throughout the entire Steel Forest.

This fierce gale was unusually violent, like invisible giant Dragons rampaging through the forest; wherever it went, everything was intimidated by its Aura.

The Insect Emperor had not yet appeared, but this gale seemed to be its pre-released signal of majesty.

Under the fury of the gale, the silver-white giant trees swayed wildly, their thick trunks colliding with each other, emitting sharp, piercing metallic clanging sounds.

It was as if countless sharp blades were rubbing by one's ears, instantly making one's scalp tingle, and every single hair felt as if it were being tightly pulled by an invisible hand.

Su Wuming stood still, his brows tightly furrowed, a solemn expression on his face.

He stared intently at the direction of the Steel Forest's core, a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

“It's here!”

No sooner had he spoken than a humanoid creature, like a ghost, suddenly appeared in the sky.

It floated in mid-air, like a majestic God of War, looking down at the people below, its eyes revealing disdain and arrogance, as if the people below were merely insignificant ants.

“The Insect Emperor of the Steel Forest—Saint Armor Blade Emperor!”

Su Fen couldn't help but exclaim, his voice filled with solemnity.

This humanoid creature had a robust physique, every muscle as hard as steel, with clear lines, as if forged through a thousand trials.

Its entire body was tightly encased in platinum bone armor, which shimmered with a cold luster, inscribed with mysterious runes, seemingly containing endless power.

Especially on its back, it wore a massive blade, several zhang long, its blade shimmering with silver light, as if condensed from moonlight, exuding a heavy sharpness that made one dare not look directly at it.

The Saint Armor Blade Emperor first slowly turned his gaze to the battlefield where the Four Insect Emperor Guards had fallen, a hint of anger and regret flashing in his eyes.

His eyes, like two cold bolts of lightning, scanned every corner of the battlefield, seemingly searching for something.

Then, he finally turned his gaze to the crowd, but only gave them a brief glance or two, his eyes revealing contempt, as if the crowd were just a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Finally, his gaze locked onto Duanmu Yan, his eyes like a tangible force, as if trying to see through Duanmu Yan.

“Did you kill my guards?!”

The Saint Armor Blade Emperor's voice rumbled like thunder, echoing through the sky above the Steel Forest, shaking the surrounding trees and making even the air seem to tremble.

Duanmu Yan tightly gripped his Shura Hell Blade, straightening his back; although the energy within him had not fully recovered, there was no hint of retreat in his eyes, but rather a kind of madness.

His eyes, like burning flames, stared directly at the Saint Armor Blade Emperor, as if declaring his unyielding spirit to him.

“That’s right, it was me.”

Duanmu Yan's voice was firm and strong, without the slightest fear.

Su Yao and the others quickly formed a circle, their movements synchronized, as if practiced countless times.

Each person's face wore a serious expression, and they activated their weapons and armor.

Their weapons gleamed with cold light, their armor shone brightly; they stood ready, like a solid fortress, protecting each other.

Su Wuming then stepped out of the protective circle, shielding the others behind him, his Light Sword in hand glowing brightly, the runes on its hilt faintly shining.

“They want to kill us, so we can only eliminate the threat, including you!”

Su Wuming's voice was deep and powerful, echoing through the forest, as if declaring war on the Saint Armor Blade Emperor.

The Saint Armor Blade Emperor sneered, his laughter like an ice pick, piercing into everyone's hearts.

The giant blade on his back slowly lifted, its speed slow, but carrying an invisible sense of oppression.

A chilling killing intent, like a surging tide, spread out; the surrounding air seemed to be frozen by this killing intent, making one shiver.

“How interesting, a group of ants dares to challenge this Emperor’s authority.

But you are right, if you are strong, you can kill them, but since this Emperor is stronger than you, I can naturally kill you too!”

Before his words finished, the Saint Armor Blade Emperor's figure flickered, almost transforming into a white light, moving at a dizzying speed.

He instantly attacked Su Wuming; wherever he passed, the air was violently compressed, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Su Wuming's eyes narrowed, a flash of determination and decisiveness in them.

His Light Sword instantly accelerated, transforming into a silver streak, meeting him with an unstoppable Aura.
