Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1074: Former Enemies

Su Yuan was instantaneously teleporting over the sea, contemplating the events earlier.

Previously, the Red Emperor had given him a slight warning.

Things can be chosen not to be done.

But once you have a duty, you must fulfill it.

This time, with enemies from the Otherworld ahead, war is imminent, and the situation changes rapidly.

Because of personal cultivation, he missed the department’s actions.

The Imperial Throne had always taken great care of him, avoiding calling on him for fear it would affect his cultivation.

But the Red Emperor was not polite; rules are rules, and thus gave him a slight deterrent.

”This time, indeed, I was a bit careless...”

Su Yuan shook his head silently, not holding any grudge against the Red Emperor.

The Sky Patrol Department handles urgent and critical matters, and if there’s a lack of personnel at critical times, or if someone delays a battle opportunity, the consequences can be very severe.

Fortunately, the situation seems to be going smoothly so far...

Actually, if the Sunrise Sunset One Year Array was used when refining the Radiant Dragon Fruit, it would not have taken so much time.

But now, Ashley is at a critical moment of breaking through, and to help her quickly reach the King Level, the array was given to her for sole use first.

However, this was the first time Su Yuan used a Law Treasure, and he didn’t expect to immerse himself so deeply when absorbing the Fire Law of the Radiant Dragon Fruit...

Su Yuan calmed his mind and looked towards the direction of the Grey Realm.

”With the Red Emperor watching, at least there’s no fear of Emperor Level experts appearing suddenly without warning, but High Stage King Levels are not within the Red Emperor’s observation range.

I don’t know how the Imperial Throne and the others are doing now...”

Su Yuan pondered as he sped forward.

After a long time, he finally entered the land of the Grey Realm again.

”So many days have passed, yet there are still some residual Star Power fluctuations around, indicating some battles occurred when the department’s people rushed in earlier.

Su Yuan continued to instantaneously teleport forward, and the traces of battle on the ground increased progressively.

Occasionally, he even saw some remnant Star Beasts, which he casually dealt with with a few Sky God Bombs.

After a while, Su Yuan found himself in a desert where the wind howled.

According to current intelligence, to the east lies the vast Kira Desert of the Grey Realm, and this is merely its protruding edge.

Once past this edge, it won’t be far to the Advanced Royal Court the department aims to annihilate.

And if that Advanced Royal Court can be conquered, even if it’s impossible to hold long-term, it can still radiate to many nearby Royal Courts as a center in the short term!

Though the Grey Realm used a Divine Artifact to swiftly land its terrestrial mass in this location via reverse conversion,

there are downsides to it; the Grey Realm is too enormous, and Great Flame and Qiguang can entirely find some breakthrough points...

Su Yuan moved swiftly all the way until he suddenly sensed something, turning to look towards the distant desert to the east.

”Seems like there’s some activity there?”

Su Yuan deployed the Thousand-Mile Eye, and though it was obstructed by a large swath of wind and sand, he could still vaguely discern a bit.

”Didn’t bump into colleagues, but ran into former enemies, did I?”

Su Yuan’s eyes showed a bit of surprise. After a moment of pondering, he immediately moved over...

Amidst the sandstorm, a man and a woman were quickly flying.

Both were Second Stage King Level, and they wore the Holy Temple’s white uniforms, clearly showing they were King Level experts from Qiguang!

However, at the moment, both had more or less some injuries, as if they had experienced some battle, fleeing swiftly in a rather disheveled state.

Looking closely, behind these two from Qiguang, a young man in black with a pale face was pursuing them closely like hunting prey!

”Not good, he caught up so fast!” Melissa’s face was somewhat unsightly.

Gasser covered the injury on his chest, glanced back, and his slightly pale face grew even darker.

The two were originally in charge of eliminating some Low Stage King Levels outside, but just after they had dealt with a Second Stage King Level according to intelligence, they immediately encountered this young man in black!

According to the strength of the previous Second Stage Demon King, even if it were Third Stage, the two of them could still handle it together.

However, as soon as combat commenced, they realized they were wrong.

This Third Stage young man in black was much stronger than anticipated!

Due to the misjudgment of strength, Gasser was quickly severely injured by the opponent taking advantage of the opportunity.

A large amount of gray energy, like liquid, remained on the wound, making one feel weak, with a decline in bodily function, requiring Star Power to suppress.

In such a situation, seeing their defeat, the two quickly chose to flee.

Besides, according to Great Flame’s intelligence...

Gasser and Melissa realized that the opponent was likely from one of the Five Great Armies of the Hundred Battle Imperial Court!

”Finally caught up~”

The young man in black at the rear grinned, bringing his hands together and then pulling them apart, and a long lance of grey energy, flowing like mercury, appeared in his hands and was cast forward!

”Watch out!”

Amid the sound of piercing through the air, Gasser and Melissa were both alarmed and, reminding each other, dodged to the sides, narrowly avoiding the long lance.

Just then, the young man at the back arched the corner of his mouth, his right hand making a virtual grip: ”Explode!”

The long lance ”boom” exploded in front of the two, scattering into countless droplets of grey Spirit Light!

”Not good, dodge fast!”

The expressions of Gasser and Melissa changed, and Star Power on their bodies surged, blocking in front and quickly flashing to the sides.

”Sizzle sizzle...”

The sound of erosion echoed from the dissipating Gasser and Melissa. The Spirit Light they unfolded couldn’t stop the liquid-like grey Star Power.

The Star Power fell on them, easily penetrated protective Star Power, infiltrating under their skin, forming large leaf-like white spots in no time.

Gasser and Melissa’s faces turned pale, their bodies increasingly weak, their steps faltering, their actions suddenly slowed significantly!

At this moment, the young man in black behind them licked the corner of his mouth. In his hand, Spirit Light flourished, and another grey lance slowly condensed.

”We can’t keep running like this!” Gasser said gravely.

With determination in her eyes, Melissa decisively turned around, forming seals with both hands, pointing towards the void in front of her:

”Thorny Crown!”

A large area of thorns shot out from the void in front, layer by layer constructing a Thorny Shield resembling a giant crown.

In an instant, the lance hit the center of the Thorny Crown, exploding into a large flow of grey Star Power, quickly eroding the reddish-brown thorns.

Yet soon, more thorns emerged from the void to resist.

This was a Divine Skill comparable to Fourth Grade Skills; the opponent couldn’t easily break it with a casual lance...

Suddenly, the young man in black flew to the front of the Thorny Shield, his palm glowing with grey light, pressing down.

Accompanied by intense Law fluctuations, astonishing grey energy swept out from his hands, decaying and destroying the constantly repairing reddish-brown thorns.

In just a few breaths, the Thorny Crown Shield turned entirely to ashes!

Melissa’s pupils widened abruptly as the young man in black rushed forward, pressing his palm on her.

”Got you...”
