Chapter 673: Chapter 515: Breach the Passage, The Decisive Battle Is Imminent!_2
Such a scene could be called Hell.
Even the most inhumane slave master, faced with this sight, would stand aside like a greenhorn trembling and taking notes with a notepad.
However, there was neither compassion nor any other expression on Li Hongxiu’s delicate and pale face.
The commands of Su Heng were supre; all she needed to do was ensure their execution.
Moreover, these demons were rely expendable materials to her.
In the eternal heavens, evil existed without end; even if this group of demons were all to die, enough ti would allow for their resurrection from the Blood River.
Finally…
This relentless work continued day and night.
Bang!
With a horned military governor hamring a heavy nail into a hole,
the originally sturdy wall burst open with a thunderous sound, cracks spreading outward, followed by a blinding white light shining forth.
For a mont, it dazzled people so much that they couldn’t open their eyes.
“Roar!”
Faced with such a scene, the demons in front hesitated before raising their arms, letting out deafening cheers.
Li Hongxiu also gently set down her scepter, a slight smile appearing on her indifferent face.
…
…
Blood Realm;
With a flash, Su Heng appeared in the dim and majestic temple.
He didn’t rush to ditate and cultivate; instead, he took so ti to adjust and plan for his future developnt.
He sat on his throne with crossed legs, his posture relaxed, resting his hand lightly on his chin. Near the wall to his left, there was a heavy wooden cabinet painted black. Su Heng seed to think of sothing; his brow raised slightly. He tapped the armrest of the throne, and with a crisp sound, the cabinet door opened, and a few shiny objects flew out of a drawer.
Su Heng caught the objects with a backhanded grab, feeling their warm and smooth texture emitting a faint heat.
These crystals were Sun Iron Essence.
Su Heng had previously used the power contained within them to repair his Second Heart.
As for the ones in his hand now, they were mined by Li Hongxiu from the Mythical Battlefield and kept by Su Heng as snacks to pass the ti.
The Domineering Dragon followed Su Heng into the temple, its feathered tail swinging back and forth, and its distinct black and white eyes filled with longing.
It stared unwaveringly at the Sun Iron Essence in Su Heng’s left hand.
Pop!
Su Heng flicked his finger.
A piece of Sun Iron Essence imdiately flew toward the sky, tracing a perfect arc.
The Domineering Dragon leaped up, opened its mouth, and, like a dog catching a frisbee, caught the Sun Iron Essence in its mouth, a bright light suddenly bursting forth in its clear pupils.
Su Heng seed to find it amusing.
He scattered the remaining Sun Iron Essence one after another.
The Domineering Dragon moved with incredible speed, leaving afterimages in the air, catching all the shimring crystals.
“Pop!”
After all of the Sun Iron Essence had been tossed,
Su Heng sat on the throne and clapped his hands lightly.
The Domineering Dragon’s cheeks puffed out, a look of reluctance on his face, but he still spat out the Sun Iron Essence he had caught and offered it with both hands.
Su Heng glanced at it but didn’t actually take it, just lightly nodded his head, “Not bad, all these things are now yours, consider them your compensation for this mission.”
“Ah!?”
A look of surprise appeared on the Domineering Dragon’s face.
He first flicked his wrist, magically stashing away the Sun Iron Essence.
Then, with a perplexed look on his face, he cautiously asked, “Compensation… Haven’t we already agreed that I would dedicate my life to you from now on?”
“One matter at a ti, working under , you get rewarded for good work, and there’s punishnt for what should have been done well but wasn’t, that’s the rule,” Su Heng responded calmly as he pinched her cheek.
A look of delight reappeared on the Domineering Dragon’s face.
He thought he would be penniless for the rest of his life, but things didn’t seem as bad as he had imagined.
Although the hope was still faint, the whole world seed to brighten up a bit all at once.
The Domineering Dragon imdiately straightened his back, chest out, patted his chest, and said, “I will make sure to work hard!”
“Hmm.”
Su Heng gently nodded.
“By the way!” He seed to rember sothing, and then said, “I told you before that there is a descendant of the Moon Dynasty here, and I will arrange for soone to take you to et her. Besides this, there’s another Divine Beast in my territory, still in its infancy… If you have the ti, help instruct it a bit, I will pay compensation based on the results.”
The image of Little Golden Crow surfaced in Su Heng’s mind.
On his journey so far, the Golden Crow Heart had played an indispensable role, often proving decisive in many fierce battles.
Although the old Golden Crow had been dead for many years, Su Heng still rembered this sentint.
When the Domineering Dragon was just born, she had sensed another Divine Beast’s presence in the Blood Realm but thought that sensation originated from Su Heng. Now, hearing this news, a surprised expression erged on the Domineering Dragon’s chubby face. Upon hearing there would be extra compensation, her motivation was ignited, and she couldn’t wait to rush out.
“Elder Zhao, I’ll leave this matter in your hands,” Su Heng said, looking up and speaking in a low voice.
A Dragon Guard standing next to the Coiled Dragon Pillar stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Su Heng, then extended a hand in a guiding gesture and left the dim temple with the Domineering Dragon.
Not long after the two had left, the door was pushed open again from the outside, and in the pouring light, a slender silhouette appeared.
It was Li Hongxiu, returning from the volcanic Mythical Battlefield.
“We’ve already broken through to create a path to the other side, but this route isn’t very stable yet, to fully reinforce it will take so ti and a lot of resources,” Li Hongxiu stated directly without pleasantries, her rapport with Su Heng evidently familiar.
Calculating with his fingers, Su Heng said with so surprise, “That’s actually much faster than I expected.”
Li Hongxiu said, “It’s because we harvested so Authority from the invaders before. Although it wasn’t much compared to the whole, any improvent in the Blood River is significant.”
Reflecting on this, Li Hongxiu couldn’t help but feel moved, “No wonder so many powerful beings fought desperately over these things. After reaching the Realm Lord Realm, one almost reaches the limit of progress, and any step further involves trendous risks and costs.
But with such a clear and potentially limitless path in front of them, those ambitious ones, I’m afraid, there are not many who can resist the allure of the Blood River.”
“Hmm… That’s not necessarily the case,” Su Heng chuckled.
Li Hongxiu paused, her gaze locking onto him.
Su Heng was, of course, an exception; even having grown to this extent, his power was still in a period of rapid growth.
Especially since Li Hongxiu could feel the depths of whatever Su Heng had brought back from the Immortal Heaven, even more profound than the current Blood Realm.
Yet, it was treated as a re toy, playing in his palm.
Such power was unimaginable, beyond her understanding.
Li Hongxiu pursed her lips and couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t co back this ti to see you show off, I ca to ask about your next plan, Lord.”
“If we pay a certain cost, we could deploy so of our elite to the West Continent, but the opposition is likely already prepared. Apart from the highest echelons of power, overall, we are still at a disadvantage, and it won’t be easy to establish a bridgehead. However, I’m afraid they might set a trap for a fight to the death if you take action personally…”
Li Hongxiu continued, “They may not be your match, but with the help of the chaotic currents of Immortal Heaven, they could exile you from this world. The Descenders still hold a batch of Divine Artifacts from the Federation Era, their power imasurable. Even you must not underestimate them.”
