Chapter 454 376

Chapter 454: 376 Chapter 454: 376 “Done,” Antonios said.

Su Yuan nodded, retracting the Sky Lock and taking out a Green Grade Star Device rope to tie Klaradak tightly to the chair.

After finishing these tasks, Su Yuan looked at Antonios. “Next, please follow me once more.”

Antonios understood Su Yuan’s meaning. He had anticipated Su Yuan saying this.

After all, it seemed that Su Yuan had come from the south to Rhein Country to take Yang Aoshan back.

Given their actions, how could they leave him here?

Even if they wouldn’t directly get rid of him, they certainly would have him accompany them for a while until he could no longer pose a threat.

Understanding this, Antonios readily agreed. “Very well, I’ll accompany you on this journey. But remember to give me the remaining 800,000 commission once we are away from Rhein Country.”

Su Yuan said no more. With a flash of light, a large quantity of Star Stones piled up on the table.

One cubic meter of Star Stones was equivalent to 1 million cents, and though these stones didn’t surpass one cubic meter, they were close enough.

Exactly 800,000!

“So… many Star Stones!”

Yang Aoshan, lying there, was stunned and felt a pang of guilt mixed with a touch of emotion.

Though she, as a Fifth Level Barrier Master, was not short on money, she had never seen so many Star Stones at once.

Who would have thought Su Yuan would pay such a high price to hire Antonios to remove her imprint?

If Antonios hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have known!

And here she was, dragging things down for the barrier model…

Klaradak, bound nearby, was equally shocked. Despite his noble background, he had only recently advanced to Shining Star and could not come up with 800,000 Star Stones on his own.

Even the high-grade Dark Element Energy Stone worth twenty to thirty thousand was a family sponsorship.

Now humbly reflecting, Klaradak finally realized he was caught in something significant.

Given Yang Aoshan’s identity, Klaradak deduced she must be leaving Rhein.

“Your Excellency is really straightforward,” Antonios remarked, surprised that Su Yuan paid the full amount upfront as he collected the 800,000 cents Star Stones.

Su Yuan didn’t elaborate. Though costly, Antonios’s service quality was top-notch.

Not only did he successfully remove the imprint within Yang Aoshan, but he also resolved the potential future pursuit when the imprint failed.

Besides, Su Yuan planned to bring him into the Qingming Realm momentarily, so he didn’t worry about him fleeing.

Su Yuan looked at the limp Klaradak, instructing softly, “Ruan Ruan, hypnotize him.”

“Puchi!” Ruan Ruan used Hypnotic Gaze on Klaradak.

At that moment, Klaradak couldn’t mobilize Star Power, his mind in turmoil, quickly succumbing to Ruan Ruan’s hypnosis.

Su Yuan nodded, saying, “Let’s prepare to depart immediately.”

With a mental command, the Qingming Realm suddenly unfolded around Su Yuan.

Antonios’s expression changed as he, Ruan Ruan, and Yang Aoshan were brought into the Qingming Realm by Su Yuan before he could react.

“Is this… a space capable of accommodating living beings?” Antonios exclaimed, marveling at the empty Qingming Realm around him.

“Ruan Ruan, take care of her,” Su Yuan gestured towards Yang Aoshan, mentally warning her to also watch over Antonios.

Ruan Ruan transformed back into human form, patting her chest and smiling. “Master, don’t worry, leave it to me!”

Su Yuan nodded, then exited the Qingming Realm.

Bringing Antonios inside wasn’t solely to prevent him from escaping but also because Su Yuan needed to travel at full speed.

In the room, Su Yuan surveyed his surroundings, storing all of Yang Aoshan’s books separately in his Space Ring.

With a last glance at the hypnotized Klaradak, his eyes flashed silver as he teleported outside to the hotel room containing the Demon Soul.

Retrieving the Demon Soul, Su Yuan spread his arms. Silver Space Power began to gather, forming a Space Gate in front of him moments later.

Taking a step, Su Yuan appeared miles away in the outskirts before using Instant Movement and Phase Transfer, heading south as fast as possible…

Time passed, and two days went by in a flash.

Su Yuan continued south. As soon as Space Gate or Phase Transfer’s cooldowns ended, he used them without pause, continuously deploying Instant Movement.

Except for the more fluctuating Great Sun Burning Body Technique, he traveled with all his might.

Despite minor detours to avoid certain cities, his current speed meant he would soon cross the majestic mountains ahead and leave Rhein Country by tomorrow.

“Though breaking the imprint took some effort, it was smooth afterward,” Su Yuan thought, consulting his map again. “There are no major cities ahead.”

Su Yuan nodded slightly, feeling some relief.

Still, he couldn’t lower his guard until he returned south.

Resuming Instant Movement, he flashed a kilometer away, but he sensed something almost immediately upon reappearing, alerting him to danger.

Without hesitation, Su Yuan activated Phase Transfer, entering Subspace.

At that moment, a sharp golden light shot from the northeast, piercing the high peak straight ahead where Su Yuan previously stood.

“Boom!”

A thunderous sound echoed as the pierced peak emitted gold lightning before exploding like tofu!

“Someone is here!”

Su Yuan’s mind stiffened as he concentrated.

The golden light, having pierced the peak, transformed into a figure in a flash.

This person, with long golden hair, a handsome yet cold face, wielded a Golden Bow and had gold eyes filled with indifference.

Crucially, this person wore a white uniform adorned with golden stars.

Clearly, he was a Star Envoy of the Twelve Palaces!

“Sagittarius Star Envoy!”

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed, recognizing the constellation symbol on the uniform.

Who would have thought Rhein’s people wouldn’t catch up, but he’d encounter an envoy from Qiguang!

More astonishingly, the envoy successfully intercepted him.

“Hand over the person,” Sagittarius coldly demanded, scrutinizing Su Yuan.

Su Yuan shook his head. “Impossible.”

Although he said this, Su Yuan felt something amiss.

Sagittarius’s eyes turned cold, showing no intention of speaking further. Holding his bow with his left hand and his right glowing gold, he drew an arrow that shot swiftly.

Su Yuan’s eyes flashed silver; the moment the arrow was loosed, he teleported behind Sagittarius, drawing out the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber to slash down.

Sagittarius seemed caught off guard, but his right hand, concealed by his cloak, extended two fingers behind him, sending a golden beam towards Su Yuan before the saber could strike.

Su Yuan’s silver eyes twinkled, seeing everything clearly with the All-Knowing Vision. His body flickered, instantly retreating.

Sagittarius’s golden beam exploded behind him, shattering several peaks.

“Impressive reaction, formidable power, indeed fitting for a Star Envoy,” Su Yuan thought, his expression serious.

Seeing Sagittarius nock another arrow, Su Yuan summoned the Sky Locks from the void, contrasting his left hand.

Sagittarius stomped, releasing four-foot-long golden beams that shattered the twelve Sky Locks surrounding him.

Without pause, Sagittarius drew his bow again, unleashing another glowing golden arrow.

Su Yuan snorted, his hand glowing with Space Power, intercepting the golden arrow with Splitting Monument Hand.

“Bang!”

The golden arrow exploded. Though the Splitting Monument Hand shattered the arrow, it too was damaged, retreating several meters.

Sagittarius raised an eyebrow, surprised his attack was so easily blocked. Clearly, his opponent had some strength.

He momentarily gathered power, releasing another arrow.

“Refraction, dispersal!”

The arrow split mid-flight, scattering in countless golden beams, encircling Su Yuan from all sides.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The golden arrows hit, erupting in blinding golden light.

Observing the explosion, Sagittarius noticed a sharp silver glow amidst the golden light.

Su Yuan’s Twenty-Eight Constellations shone brightly. Enveloped in starlight, his Star Dominator body remained unscathed.

“Purple Flame Burning Body, Flash!”

With purple flames blazing on his Star Dominator body, Su Yuan’s aura surged. Saber in hand, he shot out from the exploding golden glow.

Sagittarius’s pupils contracted, raising the Golden Bow to block.

“Clang!”

A metallic clash resounded. The speed and force behind Su Yuan’s strike nearly dislodged Sagittarius’s Golden Bow.

It was known that archers needed strong arm strength to draw their bows.

Yet, Sagittarius groaned, being sent flying by the blow!

“Indeed, an Epic Longbow…”

Combining this with the previous attack’s power, Su Yuan instantly recognized that Sagittarius’s bow was also an Epic Star Artifact.

Otherwise, the full-powered strike with Star Body, Great Sun Burning Body Technique, Flash, and Divine Fire should have been enough to split even a defensive Super Blue Star Device, let alone a bow.

Moreover, for enhancement-type Star Cards, overlapping boosts had diminishing returns, which was why most didn’t cultivate multiple enhancement techniques.

Su Yuan had no issue since his Demon Soul Avatar provided duplication.

For the moment, Sagittarius steadied himself, blood trickling from his mouth.

“Injuring me… Light Wings deploy!”

With a roar, Sagittarius unfurled six aurora-like wings from his back.

As Su Yuan charged again, Sagittarius’s eyes gleamed coldly. Retrieving the Golden Bow, he drew a slender sword without a sheath, flying towards Su Yuan in a gold streak.

Su Yuan possessed superior strength, while Sagittarius had greater speed, resulting in a fierce aerial clash of gold and silver figures…
