Chapter 54
Su Mali: Feeding Me Peanuts
A private estate in Europe.
Sumali was lounging leisurely in a sun lounger, her fingertips gently swirling a glass of red wine.
He gazed at the azure sky and sighed softly, "I wonder when I will be able to return to my king's side..."
Hua Ye's former image floated into his mind, tinged with a mix of nostalgia and resentment.
Suddenly, a spatial wormhole opened up not far away!
Sumali's eyes sharpened, and she instantly summoned her battle armor, her dark silver dagger already tightly gripped in her hand behind her back.
Amidst the wormhole's fluctuations, a figure slowly emerged—it was Cang Yu.
Sumali stared intently at the uninvited guest, her mind racing, but she couldn't find any memories related to him.
Since we've never met before... then the visitor's intentions are probably not good.
"I wonder why this handsome guy would go to all this trouble to find someone as insignificant as me..."
Sumali tentatively began to speak.
I want to find out the other person's identity and purpose in coming to see me through conversation.
However, it was clear that Cang Yu didn't want to waste words with him.
Qilin is still asleep in bed. I need to finish this quickly so I can go back and make her some soup.
Several whiskers and wings, shimmering with holy light, slowly unfurled behind Cang Yu.
Sumali instinctively took a step back.
For some reason, those tentacles inexplicably conjured up the image of a giant onion head in his mind.
(Puni: How dare you call me Onion Head! You've already committed suicide!)
"You should feel honored." Cang Yu's voice was ethereal and distant, carrying an unprecedented divinity. "You are the first person to witness me in this state—"
His pupils glowed with golden light, and divine patterns appeared at the corners of his eyes. His body slowly rose from the ground and levitated.
"He will also be the first person to die in this posture."
Sumali was completely stunned.
Where did this fiend come from? I clearly never provoked him!
Why is it a fight to the death right from the start... No, this isn't a fight to the death at all, it's clearly a one-sided attempt to take his life!
Before he could think any further, those several wings of light attacked him like sharp arrows!
Sumali hurriedly swung her dark silver dagger to parry, the blade colliding with the light and sparking blinding flashes. He used the momentum to retreat, his wings suddenly unfurling and creating a gust of wind:
"At least let me die knowing why!"
Azure Feather floated in mid-air, with light strands spreading out behind him like wings.
Someone is paying to save your life.
Cang Yu casually replied, and the tentacles of light behind him suddenly lashed out—
【Sky-Splitting Strike】!
A dazzling wave of light shot out with a flap of its wings.
As soon as Sumali regained her footing, she saw the deadly light wave rushing towards her.
His mind was racing, trying to figure out who wanted to kill him. He didn't have time to dodge and could only hastily turn to the side to try and avoid a vital spot.
however--
"what!"
A piercing scream tore through the sky.
Sumali's movements were ultimately a step too slow; her left arm, along with her left wing behind her back, was severed at the root by the light wave.
What's even more chilling is that the force of the Sky-Splitting Strike didn't diminish after severing his limbs, and it exploded behind him with a deafening roar.
The violent energy surge sent him flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
Despite the burning pain from the sacred energy emanating from her wounds, Sumari struggled to sit up.
"Sir! I have no grudge against you! If someone has simply hired a hitman, I am willing to pay double... no, ten times the price!"
Knowing the disparity in strength, he suppressed his fear and tried to sway the other party's murderous intent with the promise of mutual benefit.
Cang Yu seemed not to hear, and stepped forward in mid-air, his shoes creating ripples in the air.
Seeing the other party approaching without any reaction, Su Mali panicked and cold sweat poured down her forehead.
He spoke rapidly, emphasizing his words: "Believe me! I am the right-hand man of King Hua Ye of the Heavenly Palace. In terms of resources and wealth, few in the known universe can match me!"
This was both a final test and a veiled threat; if he were killed, they would inevitably face Hua Ye's furious retaliation.
"Ha, Hua Ye? A worthless stray dog." Cang Yu sneered. "Don't waste your breath. Your only choice is to die here."
Upon hearing this, the last glimmer of hope in Su Mali's eyes was completely extinguished. His gaze hardened, and the dark silver dagger shot towards Cang Yu's face like lightning!
however--
An unbelievable scene unfolded before him. Cang Yu merely glanced at it, and the dagger mysteriously hovered in front of him.
He extended his left hand, and the dagger obediently fell into his palm.
"So, this is all the sneak attack tricks the ancient god-slayers knew?" Cang Yu chuckled, toying with his dagger. "However... I'll let you die knowing why. The person who bought your life is named He Xi."
Sumali's pupils dilated violently. Before she could recover from the shock, Cang Yu's right palm had already gathered a dazzling holy light.
【aurora!】
A golden aurora beam, as thick as a bucket, burst forth, heading straight for Sumali's launch.
Sumari desperately flapped her remaining right wing, screaming, "Move! Fly!"
Driven by his survival instinct, he finally staggered off the ground, his face showing the ecstatic joy of surviving a near-death experience.
What makes you think you can outrun light?
Cang Yu's indifferent words were like ice water poured over his head.
The aurora had already swallowed his figure, and the three-second bombardment annihilated everything.
When the light faded, not only were there no bones, but not even a speck of ashes remained.
The manor behind them had long since turned into ruins, and charred marks on the ground stretched for twenty kilometers, like scars on the earth.
As the afterglow of the holy light completely dissipated, Azure Feather slowly descended into the center of the scorched earth.
The luminous tendrils behind him gradually dissipated, the golden lines at the corners of his eyes faded like the tide, and his eyes returned to their usual depth.
Cang Yu looked up at the sky
At this moment, a spaceship with wings is hovering in the air.
Cang Yu had already noticed the three people who had followed him.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the spaceship was unusually lively.
"Sister Yan! Did you see that?" A-Zhui excitedly grabbed Angel Yan's arm, her eyes shining with excitement. "The way my idol looked just now... was so handsome! And..."
She swallowed the rest of her sentence.
That sacred and majestic aura even reminded her of Queen Keisha.
This idea surprised even herself, since such words shouldn't be said casually.
However, Angel Yan ignored A-Zhui's calls and just stared blankly at the figure in the projection.
So handsome...so powerful...such a sacred feeling...
She unconsciously pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart pounding more violently than ever before.
Rose, standing nearby, was also stunned.
This... isn't that a bit too unfair?
She had never considered herself someone who valued appearances, but at this moment, gazing at Cang Yu's sacred, awe-inspiring, and unapproachable demeanor...
Rose felt as if her gaze was locked in place by some force, and she could not look away even a fraction of an inch.
Just as the three were lost in their own thoughts, Cang Yu's voice rang out.
"How did you manage to catch up?"
Seeing Cang Yu suddenly appear inside the spaceship, the three women suddenly snapped out of their daze.
