Chapter 742 Hero Saves the Beauty!_1

The Ice and Snow Empresses saw the sinister middle-aged man flash toward them, their expressions filled with panic, and they immediately tried to dodge out of the way.

But they found themselves unable to move a muscle under an overwhelming pressure that descended upon them.

The sinister middle-aged man stood in front of them.

His powerful spiritual force surged out, as if it sensed something.

"You carry the aura of Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying."

"Speak, when have you seen them?"

The Ice and Snow Empresses had been desperately channeling their Soul Power to struggle free, but they realized they were completely unable to break away and were left like lambs to the slaughter.

Their complexions turned ghastly pale.

Although Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying had put tremendous pressure on them before, they had never been so suppressed as they were now.

It was clear that the strength of the newcomer far surpassed that of the two Abyss Great Emperors they had encountered before.

And the man's tone was filled with an unimaginable tyranny, not putting Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying in his eyes at all, sparking a terrifying guess in their hearts.

They were absolutely certain that they could not betray their saviors.

They shook their heads repeatedly.

The Ice Emperor said, "What Emperor Meng, what Emperor Ying? We sisters have never seen them."

"That's right." The Snow Lady nodded from the side, her demeanor composed.

"Heh heh."

"Lying to me, the Emperor?"

The sinister middle-aged man sneered, and without any visible motion, the pressure in the heavens and the earth grew even more immense, crushing down on the two women from all directions.

Their bones seemed to creak from the friction, their delicate faces twisting in shades of agony, they let out pained groans.

But they didn't reveal any information about Luo Yu.

When they heard this person call himself the Emperor, their hearts trembled, and they prepared to face death.

They did not believe Luo Yu could handle the Abyssal Emperor.

They only hoped that they could delay for a little longer, that Luo Yu would realize sooner what was happening here, and then quickly flee.

This way, they would have a clear conscience.

"Not talking yet?"

The sinister middle-aged man's mouth curled into a cruel smile.

"Then let's have one die first."

With that, he slowly clenched his hand forward, terrifying energy converging; his actions deliberate and slow, seemingly to intimidate the women into submission.

At that moment, a rainbow streak shot from the distance, arriving in an instant, slashing at the hand of the Abyssal Emperor.

The sword clanged, reverberating in all directions.

"Boom!"

The Abyssal Emperor was forced to retreat three steps back, his sword striking the ground and carving out a massive crack.

The Emperor looked up and saw a young figure appeared before him.

Black hair was tied up, blowing in the wind, with an air of indifferent grace about him, like a Banished Immortal descending to the mortal world.

Luo Yu raised his hand and the Longsword hummed, flying back into his palm, overjoyed.

The Ice and Snow Empresses had braced for death, but then they saw the man once again appear in the nick of time, so timely.

To think, from the arrival of the Abyssal Emperor to the moment he tried to kill them, it was only a brief period, yet the man arrived in but an instant.

What did this mean? It meant that although the man always seemed indifferent, in fact, he had been keeping an eye on the safety of the far northern lands all along.

So cold on the outside, yet so warm on the inside.

The Ice and Snow Empresses looked at the tall figure before them, their beautiful eyes trembling continuously.

Their sense of security skyrocketed.

But reason prompted them to shout out urgently.

"Benefactor, you must run! This man is the Abyssal Emperor; you won't be able to handle him. Don't worry about us; save yourself first!"

"Yes, hurry up and go. We absolutely cannot drag you down," the Snow Lady also shouted.

Luo Yu glanced back at the two women and slowly shook his head, saying:

"Hush!"

"Move aside."

As Luo Yu's words fell, the two women found the mountainous pressure they faced drastically reduced, and they immediately relaxed.

The Ice Emperor opened her mouth to say something but saw that the man had already turned away.

"Let's not disturb him."

The normally reserved Snow Lady acted like an obedient girl for once, following Luo Yu's arrangements and taking the Ice Emperor to hide afar.

The Abyssal Emperor sized up the young figure that had suddenly appeared.

He made a slightly surprised sound.

"Oh?"

"I hadn't expected that a lower plane like Douluo would have a young talent such as yourself."

"Were Fierce Emperor and Shadow Emperor killed by you?"

Luo Yu stood with his sword, shaking his head indifferently.

"Trash is killed in such large numbers, I can't remember their names. Which two are you referring to?"

That casual voice pierced the Abyssal Emperor's chest like a knife, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Was it you who killed the Fierce Emperor and the Shadow Emperor?"

"Hahaha, to think I was somewhat worried, but now I'm relieved. It turns out it wasn't the deities of the Divine Realm who struck down Fierce Emperor and Shadow Emperor."

"A mere Douluo native having the audacity to kill both Fierce Emperor and you, indeed, you possess a bit of arrogance."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time," Luo Yu said, bowing his head and running his finger along the blade.

"What?"

The Abyssal Emperor's composed character couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"Waiting for me?"

Luo Yu lifted his beautiful eyes that sparkled with Purple-Gold Divine Light.

"Killing two dogs."

"The dog's owner will naturally come looking sooner or later."

"And I, don't mind slaughtering the dog's owner as well."

"Boom!"

A rich bloodlight flashed in the Abyssal Emperor's eyes as his domineering presence burst forth.

His entire body emitted boundless black mist, which spread rapidly, instantly obscuring the sky and darkening the day with terrifying might.

This terrifying pressure made the Ice and Snow Empresses pale in horror.

This was a fight that they, at their level, could not partake in; to rashly enter the fray would only be a hindrance.

Now, their instincts were telling them to flee the scene, but not a single one of them moved to leave.

Luo Yu fought tooth and nail for them, for the far northern lands. How could they possibly be greedy for life and fear death, leaving him alone to depart?

Both women had their own stubborn nature, preferring to die there rather than be seen as ungrateful cowards who ran away.

"Rumble!"

The oppressive force emanating from the Abyssal Emperor caused the world to change color, shocking and appalling all who beheld it.

A twisted smile spilled over the corners of his mouth.

"Human, do you know who you're speaking to?"

"Having the capability to kill Fierce Emperor, I would recognize you as the strongest talent in Douluo, but daring to spout such nonsense in front of me, you only have one path left—to die."

The Purple-Gold Divine Light shone from Luo Yu's eyes as he surveyed the imposing presence of the Abyssal Emperor.

He looked him over, inside and out, once more.

Finally, he let out a sigh.

"Seems it's only an avatar that has come."

"What do you mean?"

The Abyssal Emperor was dumbfounded; this man should be trembling with fear at the sight of his power, so why the regret?

This didn't follow the usual script at all.

Luo Yu said:

"Slaying just an avatar, where's the fun in that?"

"Enough, enough."

Luo Yu held up three fingers.

"Three strikes, within three strikes, I will take your dog life."

The Abyssal Emperor was stunned.

How many years had it been? It had been so many years since anyone had said such arrogant words to him.

Was this guy a fool? Could he not feel that the aura released by him was already approaching God Rank, climbing even higher?

"Hahahaha!"

The Abyssal Emperor burst into loud laughter.

"It seems, after you cut down Fierce Emperor and Shadow Emperor, you've become quite inflated."

"I'll tell you, today… is the day you die!"

"Three strikes, you say?"

He crossed his arms, standing there, towering like a mountain.

"I will stand right in front of you, let you have your three strikes."

"If you're a man, come and chop!"
