739: Chapter domineering Yueshan, showing strength
Su Wuming felt a secret shock in his heart; he hadn't expected Saint Armor Blade Emperor to have such a trump card, which caught him somewhat off guard.
“Hahahahaha, how about this move of mine?”
Saint Armor Blade Emperor laughed triumphantly, his laughter particularly grating in the chaotic battlefield.
In his eyes, the killing intent solidified even further, like a tangible sharp blade, pointing directly at Su Wuming.
“Perhaps you would truly have a chance in the outside world, but here, as long as Steel Forest remains, I will be immortal!” Saint Armor Blade Emperor said arrogantly, a confident smile plastered across his face.
“Is that so?”
But just then, a deep, magnetic voice suddenly rang out. The voice seemed to come from the distant sky, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
This abrupt voice startled both Su Wuming and Saint Armor Blade Emperor.
Their nerves instantly tensed; someone had approached them without the slightest detection, which filled them with immense shock and vigilance.
“Who!”
Both quickly looked towards the direction from which the voice came, their eyes filled with wariness and doubt.
At the same time, neither hesitated to launch an attack in that direction.
The weapon in Su Wuming's hand instantly burst forth with brilliant sword light, which streaked across the night sky like a meteor.
Saint Armor Blade Emperor, on the other hand, brandished the sharp blade in his hand, and a keen saber light shot through the air, carrying immense power.
But the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded.
Both their attacks were forcibly blocked in mid-air by a pair of large hands, hands that seemed forged from steel, indestructible.
Immediately after, a burly figure stepped out, revealing himself from the Void Realm.
His figure was tall and imposing, like a towering mountain.
“Yue Shan!!!”
Su Wuming's pupils contracted, and a rare look of astonishment appeared on his face beneath the Emperor Armor.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and his breathing became rapid. He had learned of Yue Shan's existence through Duanmu Yan's combat footage back in Scarlet Grassland, and he had a clear understanding of his strength.
Now that Yue Shan appeared here, and considering his abilities, Su Wuming's expression turned extremely grim, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
If he were to intervene, his journey this time might very likely be reduced to a mere supporting role, and his previous efforts could all go to waste.
“It seems I underestimated you.”
Saint Armor Blade Emperor also looked at the Yue Shan before him with some surprise, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
Earlier, he had only thought the other party was a formidable intruder, so sending four Insect Emperor Guards was already quite cautious, but he hadn't expected the other party's strength to be so great.
Just from that single move, he could tell that this person's strength was at least not beneath his own!
Yue Shan, however, looked at the two with a calm expression, his eyes deep and resolute, as if he could see through everything.
The Qi around him began to erupt, like surging ocean waves, one after another.
“010, hand him over to me. I'll give you one-third of Steel Forest!”
Yue Shan's voice was deep and powerful, echoing clearly across the chaotic battlefield.
His eyes, like a deep, cold pool, calmly watched Su Wuming and Saint Armor Blade Emperor.
Upon hearing Yue Shan's words, Su Wuming's brows furrowed deeply. He knew that Yue Shan's strength was unfathomable, like a majestic mountain hidden in the clouds, making it difficult to grasp its true height.
Moreover, he knew that the ability Yue Shan possessed was extremely restrictive to him, as if it were a sharp blade specifically tailored for him, constantly hanging over his head.
He was even more aware of what an additional powerful enemy meant at such a critical, fate-deciding moment.
This was not merely an intense battle, but also concerned whether his years of effort and dreams would come to naught.
However, facing Yue Shan's proposal, a strong sense of unwillingness arose in his heart.
In order not to be suppressed by Yue Shan, he had been like a tireless traveler, constantly striving forward on the Dao of scientific research.
He had given too much, pondering endlessly through countless days and nights, even hiding himself, unwilling to appear in the world.
How could he easily give up?
Furthermore, now that he had basically completed the Emperor Armor, he felt like an eagle about to spread its wings and soar, why should he still be timid?
“Yue Shan, I respect you as my Senior, and I know your strength is extraordinary and greatly restrains me.”
“But if you expect me to retreat and yield just because of that, then I'm sorry, I cannot do it!”
Su Wuming's tone was firm, he spoke each word distinctly, every word carrying his resolve.
Although the light on the Emperor Armor was dim due to the previous fierce battle, like a star obscured by dark clouds.
His will, however, was even tougher, like a steadfast rock that had endured the baptism of wind and rain, unyielding.
Saint Armor Blade Emperor, on the other hand, gave a cold laugh, his smile like winter frost, full of mockery and disdain.
He was happy to see such a divergence, as it might be a turning point for him, at least he wouldn't have to worry about being jointly attacked.
“Heh heh, what an interesting situation.”
He said with a cold glint in his eyes, “Yue Shan, is it? If you want my territory, then first prove you have the capability.”
Yue Shan gently shook his head, his movements relaxed and elegant, seemingly unsurprised by their reactions.
“010, I understand your persistence, but you should also understand that sometimes cooperation is more beneficial than confrontation. One-third is my maximum, this is already a decision I made after careful consideration.”
His voice was steady and calm, as if stating an undeniable truth.
“As for you, Saint Armor Blade Emperor, not only do I want this Steel Forest, but I also want your life.”
As he spoke, the Qi around Yue Shan grew even stronger; an invisible aura seemed to form around his body.
It was as if an ancient and powerful force was Awakening within him, a power like a Dragon that had slept for a thousand years, unstoppable once awakened.
The next moment, within the entire Steel Forest, an invisible pressure suddenly descended.
This pressure was like a heavy boulder, making the air seem to solidify.
The combatants below, who were in fierce battle, all paused, and those with weaker strength were directly pressed to the ground, unable to move, their faces showing expressions of terror, their bodies trembling.
