"Lord Pla!"
The knights battling with the Star Beasts on the battlefield were all shocked and wide-eyed at the sight of Pla’s head flying off in sudden death!
Herman’s face turned extremely grim upon seeing the silver-haired person appear ahead.
"Vermilion Bird Guardian, Su Yuan?!"
Herman immediately recognized, wasn’t this one of the S-class targets, Su Yuan!
Moreover... the Vermilion Bird Robe on the other person seemed to indicate he took the position of Vermilion Bird True Monarch.
"Damn it!"
Herman never expected that Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan would suddenly appear here and kill Pla with just a single sword stroke!
This was the Demon Beast Forest at the northeast of Qiguang, how did he manage to cross the empire?
But now was not the time to think about these things at all.
Information about Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan quickly surfaced in Herman’s mind as he flew back and urged Blue Steel forward.
"Kill him, Blue Steel!"
Multiple blue radiant steel bars, like shooting serpents, surged towards Su Yuan.
However, with a flicker of silver light, Su Yuan effortlessly teleported out of the Blue Steel.
Herman knew Su Yuan could teleport, and with a raise of his hands to manipulate, the speed of Blue Steel’s flight instantly increased, transforming into a streaming light persistently pursuing the teleporting Su Yuan.
But there wasn’t much entanglement, as silver light flickered before Herman, Su Yuan suddenly appeared in front!
"Teleport so far?!"
Herman was inwardly startled, having deliberately widened the distance earlier, yet Su Yuan still instantly teleported right in front of him!
In his shock, Herman spread his left fingers, and the surging blue light instantly condensed into an exceedingly tight, incredibly hard steel shield.
With a strike, Su Yuan’s sword came down with a "clang", leaving a not too deep or shallow sword mark on the steel shield.
"As the information said, the defense is indeed strong..."
Seeing the steel shield block the slash, Su Yuan secretly nodded.
This sword of his didn’t use Divine Break; in truth, Herman was already alert, making it impossible to kill or seriously injure him with one strike.
Even with Three Flowers Sheng Shen, one can’t recklessly deplete spiritual power.
Taking advantage of the force from Su Yuan’s sword, Herman once again quickly pulled back the distance.
Su Yuan raised the longsword, looking at Herman pulling away: "When feeling danger, you distance yourself from the opponent to allow more reaction time... So you’re already fearful, are you, [Tower]?"
Herman’s expression turned grim upon hearing that.
Indeed, witnessing Su Yuan suddenly kill Pla with one sword strike had Herman rattled, still not calmed down!
Su Yuan chuckled lightly, silver light flickering on him, teleporting forward to slash again.
Herman lifted the high-density blue steel shield to block, yet was struggling incredibly.
However, Herman’s eyes flickered subtly; the numerous Blue Steel he released earlier had hurriedly converged from behind Su Yuan!
Simultaneously, Herman’s right hand fiercely brightened, the dozens of Blue Steel that were ready and waiting instantly charged at Su Yuan from the front.
Truly a pincer attack from front and back, leaving Su Yuan no room to escape!
Yet the next moment, the many steel bars that were about to shoot at Su Yuan stopped amidst a stilled stasis around him.
Herman’s pupils constricted: "Huh?!"
Regarding S-class target "Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan", quite a bit of intelligence had naturally been collected within the Holy Temple.
Herman knew, Su Yuan possessed such an ability to manipulate space for defense.
Only he hadn’t expected this capability to be so strong, even his post-release Blue Steel being warded off!
Frowning, Herman spread his hands, more vigorous blue light cascaded like a waterfall surging towards Su Yuan.
Although halted by the Infinite Barrier, it still intricately wove into an impermeable steel sphere!
"Iron Binding Kill!"
Herman made a virtual grip with his right hand, the hundreds of blue steel bars instantly compressing against Su Yuan protected by Infinite Power, intending to crush him like a Molten Lava Burst Dragon.
However, with a flicker of silver light, the next moment, Su Yuan who was within the steel ball instantly teleported out!
Herman was shocked: "What?!"
"Attempting to trap Heaven’s Dominator in a prison of scrap iron?" Su Yuan coldly laughed, the Demon Saber in his hand swirling with black light as it struck down swiftly!
In haste, Herman raised the shield in front, while his body surged with blue light for full defense.
Following the descent of the Divine Break Sword Light, blood spattered as Herman’s chest was cut open with a deep gash, the shield along with the left hand holding it being severed together!
"Damn it!!"
Herman was infuriated, seeing Su Yuan wielding the sword to kill again, he immediately uttered in a low voice: "Holy Steel Body, Unbreakable Body!"
Instantly, a strong blue radiance erupted from Herman’s chest.
