Chapter 1409: Mountains and Rivers Shatter Qian Jun
Cui Manlou, who had almost effortlessly resolved the pincer attack from two people, looked at Su Chengyu with a light smile: "Continue, I know you have a backup plan. I also want to see just how powerful an Immortal Artifact can be in your hand."
Hesitating to take out the Wasteland Battle Halberd, Su Chengyu’s thoughts were interrupted by Cui Manlou’s audacious words. Just as Cui Manlou expected, when Su Chengyu realized that ordinary methods were completely ineffective against Cui Manlou, his first instinct was indeed the Wasteland Battle Halberd.
And the other party’s words were clearly a prepared response to the Wasteland Battle Halberd.
Warily watching Cui Manlou, Su Chengyu took the initiative to speak: "What exactly do you want from me? With your combat strength, if you joined the Thousand Tents Palace, you could certainly create even more chaos for Bei Luo."
"Hmph. Bei Luo? It’s nothing but a so-called great nation already riddled with holes; I simply don’t regard it as anything significant. Moreover, compared to Bei Luo, obviously, bringing back the Lord of the Sect is our most important task."
A single sentence instantly made Su Chengyu realize the situation. His eyes widened excitedly at Cui Manlou: "You’re also after Yan’er?"
"What else did you think? You believe there’s something on you worth my effort, that Immortal Artifact that’s at most comparable to a King-grade Divine Artifact?"
A disdainful cold laugh echoed from Cui Manlou. In an instant, Su Chengyu could sense the Wasteland Battle Halberd stirring restlessly within his Divine Sense, for the first time volunteering to cleave someone in two.
Su Chengyu forcefully suppressed the Wasteland Battle Halberd. The opponent’s intentions were so clear that there was probably a countermeasure against the Wasteland Battle Halberd, and a rash move would definitely not lead to any good outcome.
After all, he understood the truth in Cui Manlou’s words. The current state of the Wasteland Battle Halberd, despite being in its prime, could only be regarded as equivalent to a King-grade Divine Artifact when wielded by an Earth Immortal—far from the pinnacle of a truly top-tier Immortal Artifact.
"I will not hand over Yan’er. Moreover, even if I die, now that Yan’er is in the Capital City, the Demonic Path stands no chance."
