Chapter 1054 - 1052 Very Familiar (1 more)
"Su Chen, do you really want to pursue this to the bitter end?" Hongying was fully aware now that she had underestimated Su Chen. No, not just underestimated—she had grossly underestimated him. Even after deploying several Supreme Treasures, she had still failed to kill him. What did this mean? It meant Su Chen possessed the power to obliterate her.
Her greatest hope for survival had been to escape into the Void. She only needed five breaths. Yes, just five breaths—that would be enough for her to conceal herself anywhere within the boundless Void. Even if Su Chen followed her in, he wouldn’t be able to locate her. After all, the Void was unimaginably vast.
But she hadn’t expected that the three followers who came with her to the Divine Martial Continent would fail to hold off Su Chen for even five breaths. Their incompetence was beyond imagination—it was absurd.
Now, she was trapped in a dire situation—a mortal impasse.
"What do you think?" Su Chen didn’t rush; he steadily closed the distance between them, one step at a time.
"Su Chen, behind me stands the Di Family. I am nothing more than an insignificant ant, or perhaps not even worthy of being called an ant. Killing me serves no purpose. From the moment you discovered the secret of the Moon Spirit Stone, your fate was sealed," Hongying’s voice turned sharp, tinged with mocking indignation and fury. "You’ll die without a doubt! The Di Family possesses a Mother River—their might is beyond what you could possibly fathom!"
"The Di Family? A Mother River?" Su Chen squinted slightly, imprinting these words deep within his mind. The reason he hadn’t immediately finished off Hongying was precisely for this moment—to extract useful information from her.
"Is the Mother River truly so powerful?" he asked, raising his head to fix his gaze on Hongying.
"Hahaha... HAHAHA... HAHAHAHAHA!" Hongying froze for a moment, then burst into laughter, tears nearly streaming from her eyes. "An ant is an ant. Always in the dark, always confined to the pathetic little sky above its well."
Su Chen still didn’t fully understand—Hongying’s words sounded like the Heavenly Book to him. However, Jiuyou’s voice abruptly grew solemn: "Mother River? Is that even possible? In the entire Grand Cosmos World, there are only around ten Mother Rivers at most."
