Chapter 809: Invitation
Each Bloodblade Squad team was said to have the strength to surround and kill a Heavenly Emperor.
But reputation was one thing, while actually doing it was another.
After all, a Heavenly Emperor stood at the pinnacle of all races. If pushed into a corner, they could even call upon the intervention of Supreme beings. Taking one down was never going to be easy.
Besides, that kind of mission usually fell to the Blackblade Squad. For the Bloodblade Squad, it was well above their pay grade.
Even so, the Third Unit of the Bloodblade Squad had pulled off the unthinkable. They exploited a fatal weakness—a newly ascended Heavenly Emperor's lingering sentimentality—and took him down in a direct confrontation.
The price was steep. Four members of the unit lost their lives. Only recently had their numbers recovered to five. But even so, no one could deny their strength.
The Divine Martial Emperor began reciting their names one by one, "Liu Li, Cong Yun, Ya Qi, Qiong Yu, Tian Qiong..."
They were all merely Tyrants, while he stood as a Heavenly Emperor. Yet he remembered every name. That alone spoke volumes.
"I don't need to say much about Liu Li. He's a Peak Sacred Monarch and has reached the ninety-fifth step of the Supreme Ladder. Among the rest, Vice-Captain Cong Yun is a newer addition. He has a rare talent for spatial manipulation.
"Though he hasn't yet broken through to Sacred Monarch, with the right external tools, his space-based power can rival one's. As for the others, they've all climbed beyond the eighty-eighth step of the Supreme Ladder..."
As the words left his mouth, Shi Xingzun, Dymor, Tyrant Wu Liang, and even Ji Shun were shocked. They instinctively looked back at Li Pin.
He had single-handedly wiped out so many Tyrants—each one far from ordinary, each among the strongest of their rank. Could someone like him still be called a mere Tyrant?
