These earth spikes that broke through the soil, some straight as spears, others crooked like blades, pierced toward Su Muyao and the others with a sharp whistling sound.
Su Muyao’s Level 10 superpower fully erupted, stomping down hard to suppress the earth spikes.
Wen Nanxi and the others unleashed their superpowers, killing the spider beastmen trying to enter the protective barrier.
Shen Ci’an charged fiercely at the Earth Ability User.
But this Earth Ability User was extremely stable, Shen Ci’an’s attacks couldn’t harm him at all.
Not even breaking through the protective shield around him.
The opponent’s superpower was unleashed, making Su Muyao and the others’ expressions change.
"This is a Level 12 Superpower User."
"How could this be."
As far as they knew, Dongning Beast Kingdom had no Level 12 Superpower Users, not just Dongning Beast Kingdom, but none on this continent.
Yun Qinglan spoke while fighting, "He should be from the Unknown Zone or another continent."
If he came from the Unknown Zone, then everything would be explained.
Su Muyao’s expression tensed, confused as to why, given they now faced a Level 12 superpower user, a Level 10 was dispatched during the assassination of the Empress.
Su Muyao’s expression changed several times; to protect everyone, she might have to forcibly increase her strength.
At that moment, Mei Qingchen used divination, saying, "Wife, he likely used special power to temporarily strengthen himself. If you can delay him for an hour, his strength will not remain at Level 12."
Su Muyao listened to Mei Qingchen and instantly understood.
It’s just like when she once quickly enhanced her strength by absorbing large amounts of Wood Element Ability; after a certain time, forcibly increased Spiritual Energy would leak out like a balloon being punctured, leaving one weaker than before.
So they must find a way to delay this beastman for an hour.
Su Muyao suspected he used a Secret Technique.
She and Shen Ci’an coordinated, using the ground’s array to block this Level 12 Superpower User while killing other spider beastmen.
Su Muyao fought increasingly bravely, her skills fast, fierce, and precise.
She attacked the Level 12 Earth Ability User while simultaneously controlling the Wood Element Ability.
Countless arm-thick green vines broke through the earth, like giant pythons wrapping around the charging spider beastmen, some directly shredding the spider beastmen.
The assassins quickly reacted, slicing through the vines, but even after they were cut, Su Muyao still controlled the plants.
Countless plants grew wildly, and thick vines shot out like hidden weapons, piercing the assassins fiercely.
The Level 12 Earth Ability User, seeing this scene, his expression turned particularly grim, pressing down with might, quickly attacking Su Muyao using Earth Element Ability.
Shen Ci’an protected Su Muyao, fighting furiously.
Wen Nanxi and the others attacked other beastmen, guarding the barrier to prevent these beastmen from killing other innocent beastmen in the Su Mansion.
In the end, Shen Ci’an had no choice but to use the Blood Clan Secret Technique, injuring the Earth Ability User.
"You’re courting death!"
Because of this, he was enraged, starting to attack everyone madly.
After such a long battle, time was still not enough, and Su Muyao was injured and somewhat exhausted.
Wen Nanxi and the others concernedly asked, "Wife, how are you?"
Su Muyao shook her head, saying, "I’m fine, you should quickly protect the barrier."
There are still many servants in the Su Mansion, all elderly servants, many without much fighting ability, they must not be harmed.
But unfortunately, more spider beastmen appeared.
Just then, Yun Qinglan resolved the three spider beastmen nearby, quickly coming to Su Muyao’s side, he said, "Miss Su, I’ll transfer my superpower to you."
"No, it’s impossible to transfer superpower to another."
Su Muyao refused without hesitation.
Yun Qinglan quickly explained, "Miss Su, my Yun Clan possesses a Secret Technique, cultivated Thunder Ability that’s unique, using a special method to merge with your Wood Element Ability."
"Miss Su, trust me, it’s a power merger, I won’t be harmed."
"Otherwise, it’s no solution to keep fighting this way."
Since the border battle, he returned home and researched the clan’s Thunder Ability Secret Technique, discovering the Yun Clan’s unique bloodline, capable of merging superpowers, so he learned this Secret Technique.
Now it could finally be utilized.
Above Level 10 Superpower Users, every level increased results in exponential power growth.
Level 12 is hard to deal with.
Su Muyao nodded, placing her hand in Yun Qinglan’s.
Yun Qinglan held her hand, and Thunder superpower quickly surged into Su Muyao’s body, merging with her Wood Element Ability.
"You... Yun Clan."
The Level 12 Earth Ability User, seeing this, his expression changed, attempting to interrupt their superpower merger, but Shen Ci’an withstood injuries to obstruct him.
Once the powers merged, Su Muyao’s strength greatly increased, she swiftly controlled the vines, infused with Thunder Ability, shooting like hidden weapons at surrounding assassins. All assassins were directly killed, even the Earth Ability User’s body was pierced through.
"Puh..."
He couldn’t believe what was happening.
Without the Level 12 Superpower User, the other assassins and spider beastmen were easier to deal with.
After eliminating all the assassins, Yun Qinglan fainted, Su Muyao quickly checked Yun Qinglan’s pulse, finding him only somewhat exhausted, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is he?"
"He fainted, just needs rest to recover."
With Yun Qinglan in this state, everyone had to let him rest in the Su Mansion.
"Truly worthy of the Yun Clan, capable of superpower fusion."
This skill is indeed unique. If Yun Qinglan becomes the beast husband of the wife, they may have even fewer objections.
Because it’s equivalent to a guarantee, crucial moments can enhance combat power without harming the wife’s body.
...
When Su Muyao fell asleep at night, she inexplicably dreamed of childhood scenes.
At five or six years old, she traveled to many places with her father, who showed her many things.
That day, her father brought her to the Northern Territory, visiting the Yun Family.
Her father wanted to talk to Mr. Yun, and Mr. Yun, fearing she’d be bored, had a maid take her to stroll in the courtyard.
As she strolled in the courtyard, she saw a very handsome young boy by the pond.
Though it was early autumn weather, he wore a thick cloak.
He sat on a chair, his silhouette somewhat solitary, occasionally coughing.
She freed herself from the maid’s hand and quickly ran over, curiously watching him but saying nothing.
The young Yun Qinglan, at ten years old, looked down at the pretty little girl in front of him, stupefied.
He suspected he was hallucinating, suppressing his cough to avoid scaring her, he spoke softly, "Little sister, why are you here?"
"Are you lost?"
Five-year-old Su Muyao shook her head, blinking as she gazed at his pale face, asking, "No, brother, are you feeling unwell?"
Ten-year-old Yun Qinglan was momentarily dazed; no one ever asked him such a thing.
His expression softened, saying gently, "Brother is fine."
At that moment, the maid ran over, knelt to explain who Su Muyao was to Yun Qinglan.
Yun Qinglan, having no gifts on him, unfastened a Jade Pendant from his waist and handed it to Su Muyao, saying, "This is for you, it’s a meeting gift from brother."
Su Muyao accepted the meeting gift, rummaging through her own belongings, finally having only a bell ball, she handed it to Yun Qinglan, saying, "Brother, I only have this, give it to brother first, later when I find a better gift, I’ll give it to brother as a meeting gift."
Yun Qinglan looked at the bell ball in his hand, a toy from a little girl, given to him.
He found it very peculiar, it was his first time receiving such a unique meeting gift.
"Brother giving you a gift is the way it should be, I shouldn’t accept your things."
