760: Where are you now?

“Hmph, if the Sea King can’t even deal with mere alien races and those sea beasts, what’s the point of saving him?” Luo Xiu immediately showed disdain, speaking coldly.

“This King can crush such a fellow with a flick of a hand. Saving him now would simply be a waste of time and energy. This King doesn’t want to delay the important matter of attacking the Ice Clan for such a useless person.”

Shadow Lord’s expression remained calm. He merely spoke slowly, “But Master has already prepared a potion for the Sea King. Perhaps Master has some kind of plan for the Sea King. If he dies, it might affect Master’s grand scheme, so…”

“Where are you?” Before Shadow Lord could finish, Luo Xiu interrupted him directly, an unprecedented look of seriousness in his eyes.

“Next time, get straight to the point. Don’t ramble on about irrelevant things here. This King doesn’t have the patience to listen to your long-winded speeches.”

Seeing this, Shadow Lord’s lips curved slightly. He knew Luo Xiu was already tempted.

He immediately stated his current location, then said, “If Lord Luo Xiu is willing, you can travel with my personal guard. This will save a lot of time, and your subordinate can assist you better.”

But Luo Xiu shook his head, “While your ability is suitable for travel, this King will reach the Ice Alliance in a few days. There’s a formidable fellow there. If this King leaves, Sword Demon and the others won’t be able to withstand the Ice Alliance’s offensive.

This King cannot disregard the entire Demonic horde for the sake of one Sea King. The threat of the Ice Clan is also not to be underestimated.”

As he spoke, a dark golden Divine Fire Clone emerged from his body. The Divine Fire Clone emitted dazzling light, finally solidifying beside him.

This Divine Fire Clone looked exactly like Luo Xiu, only its aura was slightly weaker, but it still made Shadow Lord feel alarmed. That powerful aura seemed capable of incinerating everything around it into ash.

Luo Xiu said confidently, “They are merely three fellows who have just entered the Emperor Realm. With this King’s Divine Fire Clone, plus you and the Sea King, it’s more than enough to counter-kill them!

This King’s Divine Fire Clone possesses a portion of this King’s strength. Dealing with those few fellows should be no problem.”

Luo Xiu waved his hand, signaling Shadow Lord that he could leave.

Shadow Lord didn’t waste words. He immediately manipulated his personal guard to condense a black hole-like passage, which emitted a mysterious light.

Luo Xiu’s Divine Fire Clone unhesitatingly entered it, followed by Shadow Lord, who flickered and disappeared from his original spot.

After the two left, Sword Demon flickered and appeared on the back of the giant elephant.

He said with a look of guilt, “Apologies, Your Majesty, your subordinate failed to detect Shadow Lord’s arrival. Please forgive your subordinate.”

“No matter, it’s normal for you not to sense him.” Luo Xiu knew what Sword Demon wanted to say. He shook his head slightly and said, “Shadow Lord’s secretive methods are something even this King has to admire. What’s more, you haven’t broken through to the Emperor Realm yet, so it’s understandable that you couldn’t sense his aura.”

“What’s the marching speed now? How long until we reach the Ice Alliance?”

“The army is currently moving at full speed. We’ll arrive in seven days at the fastest!” Sword Demon still reported in a low voice with his head bowed.

Luo Xiu nodded slightly. His gaze looked into the distance, as if he could penetrate through layers of mist to see the location of the Ice Alliance.

He said leisurely, “Flame Demon is about to make a Breakthrough. You and the other two need to hurry as well.”

Although Luo Xiu’s words held no reproach, they doubled the pressure in Sword Demon’s heart.

He quickly said, “Yes, your subordinate will strive to make a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm as soon as possible to share Your Majesty’s burden.”

“You may go. All the Yao Beasts on the way will be dealt with by the four of you. Whether you can make a Breakthrough depends on your own fortune!”

“Your subordinate understands!” Sword Demon replied respectfully, then flickered and disappeared from the back of the giant elephant.

Above the Steel Forest, a dense metallic aura permeated the air, like a thick mist.

Three agile and sharp figures clashed wildly in the air. Each fierce confrontation was like two massive meteorites colliding, shaking the already fragile space around them to shatter like glass.

Numerous hideous and terrifying cracks, like winding black pythons, hung in the air.

Blue electric arcs flickered along the edges of the cracks, constantly jumping and flashing, emitting an aura that caused a chill to rise from one’s heart and an incessant palpitation.

And the cause of all this chaos and destruction was Yue Shan, Su Wuming, and the Saint Armor Blade Emperor guarding the Steel Forest!

“Hoo hoo hoo ~” The three’s hurried gasps were exceptionally clear amidst the whistling wind.

They separated at a touch, each suspended in mid-air, subtly adjusting their Qi.

Since the battle began, they had all given their full effort, pushing their abilities to the limit.

However, despite this, they remained evenly matched, and the situation had fallen into a stalemate.

“010, are you determined to be my enemy?” Yue Shan’s deep voice rumbled through the air like muffled thunder. His battle armor, like colorful crystals, shone with brilliant light. Each crystal seemed to contain endless energy, constantly flowing and shimmering.

A heavy, almost tangible aura emanated from his entire being, like a towering mountain slowly pressing down, making it difficult to breathe, as if even the air was compressed and thinned by this aura.

His gaze was calm yet held a hint of majesty as he stared at Su Wuming, his eyes seemingly able to penetrate the other’s Soul, as if delivering a final warning!

Su Wuming wore the Emperor Armor, its patterns exquisite and mysterious, shimmering with a faint golden light.

The Light Sword in his hand gleamed with a cold light, and a vast and powerful pressure emanated from him without weakness, causing the surrounding air to solidify.

“Yue Shan, although you are considered my Senior, I cannot obey you in this matter!” Su Wuming said firmly, his voice clear and powerful, echoing in the air.

He knew in his heart that although he was suppressed by Yue Shan in certain aspects, he was not without a fighting chance.

If he chose to retreat today, how could he face Yue Shan in the future?

Would he always be suppressed and always have to choose to yield?

This thought made his eyes even more determined, and a strong fighting spirit surged within him.
