Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1305: Chapter 1080: Enemy Situation

With Ruan Ruan helping Melissa to purge the erosion energy from her body, the atmosphere between the parties eased significantly.

Su Yuan asked, "How did you get targeted by this third-tier demon king?"

"The two of us were traveling together, tasked with eliminating low-stage kings within the Kira Desert. After we had just annihilated a second-stage demon king, this demon caught up to us..."

Gasser immediately explained the situation to Su Yuan.

Due to its northern position, Qiguang reacted faster than the Great Flame against the Grey Realm.

Now, Qiguang has gradually established two bases in the Kira Desert and has begun to clear out the surrounding forces.

Su Yuan was quite amazed in his heart; two bases signify that Qiguang has already conquered two advanced royal courts.

It shows that Qiguang is just as powerful as before!

Gasser asked, "Lord Su Yuan, should this demon king be a member of the Five Great Armies?"

Su Yuan flipped open the ring he obtained earlier, checked it briefly, and nodded, "That’s right, indeed from the Dark Erosion Guard of the Five Great Armies."

Melissa and Gasser’s eyes narrowed slightly. The demon kings of the Five Great Armies are undeniably formidable, much harder to deal with.

But the real monster is the person in front of them...

First Stage defeating Third Stage, Su Yuan of the Great Flame Country!

Melissa looked at Su Yuan and asked, "Lord Su Yuan, as far as we know, the main forces of the Sky Patrol Department seem to be attacking the Cloud Cliff Royal Court in Daze Ridge. The situation there is quite urgent. Why are you still here, Lord Su Yuan?"

"Some matters delayed me," Su Yuan shook his head.

"I see..." Gasser frowned slightly, "Before we left, the base detected that there were king-level experts in the Kira Desert heading towards the Cloud Cliff Royal Court to the west."

"Are they other reinforcements from the Great Wilderness?" Su Yuan’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Melissa said, "Yes, I can check the latest information for you, my lord."

As she spoke, Melissa flipped open a White Card marked with a Cross Star, examining the latest enemy intelligence.

"Indeed, there are demon kings heading towards your Vermilion Bird Imperial direction. Please take a look, my lord!" Melissa raised her hand and displayed the projection from the card directly.

"Mark it, yellow for low-stage king level, orange for intermediate stage king level, red for high stage king level..." Melissa explained to Su Yuan.

It is truly impressive how Qiguang’s technological development of star power detection is exceptionally precise.

On the detection projection at this moment, several star points were coming from the northeast, heading towards the junction of the Kira Desert and Daze Ridge.

The foremost mark... was an orange mark!

"This orange mark should be a fourth-stage king level!" Melissa said solemnly.

Beside her, Gasser also reminded, "This is reconnaissance information from a day ago. Lord Su Yuan, you should quickly go near the Cloud Cliff Royal Court to inform the Great Flame to allocate enough forces for defense.

Moreover, you must also be extremely careful, my lord, to avoid encountering this individual on the way."

In Gasser’s opinion, with Su Yuan’s mastery of spatial technique, he should be able to reach the Cloud Cliff Royal Court ahead of the fourth-stage demon king and warn the people of Great Flame.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly.

Communications and other basic war preparations on the Great Flame side have not yet been established, which implies that the Vermilion Bird Courtiers are still engaged in the assault on the Cloud Cliff Royal Court.

A fourth-stage king level, along with several other king level experts... While they might not drastically shift the battlefield situation, they surely cannot be underestimated.

After briefly contemplating, Su Yuan said to the two, "The matter is urgent, so I shall take my leave now."

Gasser and Melissa nodded, and the two bowed again, "The life-saving grace is beyond repayment. If there’s a chance to help in the future without harming the interests of the Imperial Empire, you can count on us, Lord Su Yuan."

"Alright."

Su Yuan responded with a word and then turned into a continuously shimmering silver light, instantly teleporting into the distance at high speed...

Gasser sighed, "Vermilion Bird True Monarch Su Yuan, I’ve heard of his name for a long time, but seeing him in person, he is so different from what I imagined."

"His combat strength is formidable, and his bearing is exceptional; though young, he holds a grand vision," Melissa admired him immensely in her heart.

"Even his greatest rival in the Dragon Vein conflict was like this. It seems the Great Flame is truly sincere in cooperation...

In my view, in the next Holy Temple meeting, it’s time to cast a favorable vote for ’deep cooperation.’"

Melissa agreed, "Yes, indeed!"

"Let’s hope the Great Flame can successfully seize the Cloud Cliff Royal Court this time. Since Su Yuan is a Space Star Card Master, he should be able to arrive first and caution the Great Flame to prepare defenses."

Upon hearing this, Melissa pondered slightly and shook her head, "I think... that’s not the case."

"Hmm?" Gasser turned to look at Melissa, "Melissa, what do you mean?"

Melissa looked in the direction where Su Yuan had disappeared into the horizon, "I believe he is not going to inform the Great Flame, but... to intercept that fourth-stage demon king!"

Gasser’s pupils contracted, "What?!"

...

Su Yuan continued his instant teleportation, rushing ahead at high speed.

However, he wasn’t heading directly towards Daze Ridge Cloud Cliff Royal Court; instead, he remained within the Kira Desert.

Indeed, as Melissa had guessed, Su Yuan intended to intercept that fourth-stage demon king!

The Vermilion Bird imperial courtier is engaged in the assault on the advanced royal court, and every personnel is extremely crucial.

Rather than having more royal-level personnel deployed, it would be best if I could obstruct this reinforcing demon king myself.

However... a fourth-tier is indeed different from a third-tier!

"Fourth-stage king level, compared to third-tier, there will be a noticeable power increase..." Su Yuan solemnly mused.

After advancing to king level, star power continuously enhances as you comprehend the laws, breaking the limits.

But in the first to third tiers, the star power increase is relatively gradual.

However, at the fourth and seventh stages, the accumulation leads to qualitative changes, and star power indeed experiences a significant leap!

For a Star Card Master, star power is always the foundation, incredibly important.

This leads to a fourth-stage king level being noticeably stronger than a third-tier.

Facing a third-tier demon king, even those of the Five Great Armies, Su Yuan is not afraid.

With Canghai Yidou on hand, he wields incredible power.

As long as the opponent doesn’t have a way to counter Canghai Yidou, Su Yuan can gain an overwhelming advantage right from the start!

But if he faces a fourth-tier demon king... Su Yuan doesn’t have much confidence.

Even though Canghai Yidou is powerful, with such a large disparity in strength, using it might not be able to overwhelm a fourth-tier demon king.

But it’s not entirely without a chance... you never know until you try!

Even if I can’t win, as a Space Star Card Master, retreat isn’t difficult.

A short time later.

Near the border of the Kira Desert, above a desolate and narrow canyon, Su Yuan flew and stopped.

"This seems like a suitable place to set an ambush..." Su Yuan glanced around and nodded.

Based on the information from Melissa’s map projection, this fourth-tier demon king should pass through this canyon on the way to the Cloud Cliff Royal Court.

Although I don’t have Ashley for an accurate prediction, it’s quite likely.
