Guarding the River of Time
Chapter 572 - 562: Invincible Body! Ultimate Showdown!
Upon hearing Su Mu’s shout, Wu Di’s hand holding the dagger paused in mid-air.
Su Mu walked over, smiling as he said, "Brother Wu, I don’t mean to offend you."
"This dagger can easily break the defense of a Slaying Dao Artifact, so... Brother Wu, you don’t need to waste the treasures you’ve painstakingly crafted to test it."
If Wu Di were to try it, all his armors here would be destroyed...
Because Su Mu was very aware of the capabilities of this "silver old comrade" of his.
He didn’t want such things to happen; it would truly be a waste of these armors if they were destroyed.
....
Hearing these words, Wu Di’s eyes widened, and he did not doubt Su Mu’s words.
Because the moment he held the dagger, he could feel that the Unity Perfection jade token was like a fragile piece of glass in front of this dagger...
Capable of easily breaking the defense of a Slaying Dao Artifact...
Wu Di stared blankly at the silver dagger in his hand, lost in thought.
This was crafted by someone?
Just who was capable of forging such a level of weapon, someone beyond his reach...
...
It seemed the only thing he could do was to use his strongest defense.
He extended his left arm and, holding the knife in his right hand, aimed at his left arm.
His strongest defense was his own body!
There was no hesitation in his eyes as he slashed brutally at his right arm.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu’s pupils contracted, and he prepared to speak to stop him, but it was too late.
Clang—
A ripping sound echoed.
A one-centimeter deep cut appeared on his right arm!
As Wu Di stared at the golden blood continuously gushing out, he was stunned, his mind blank.
Had his body, forged over countless years, just been broken through?!
Yet, on Wu Di’s face, there was no sign of dejection or collapse, instead, there was excitement, immense excitement!
....
Seeing such a brutal slash from Wu Di, which resulted in only a one-centimeter cut, Su Mu was also greatly shocked.
The strength of Wu Di’s body must have reached an incredible level!
However, he truly was ruthless with himself, slashing at himself with deadly force!
......
After being silent for a long time, Wu Di slowly raised his head.
"Brother Su, may I ask a presumptuous question....."
"Where did this dagger come from?"
He couldn’t discern the origin of the silver dagger, but he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart and asked Su Mu.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu paused before saying, "Family heirloom."
Actually, Su Mu had just stumbled upon it.
But to spare Wu Di’s confidence, he opted to make it sound more prestigious.
Otherwise, if a knife he picked up on the roadside destroyed the armor Wu Di painstakingly forged, anyone would feel uncomfortable...
...
After listening, a flash of Immortal Light crossed Wu Di’s eyes, and his gaze towards Su Mu held an unusual undertone.
After a long silence, he began to introduce himself: "I come from a small place, a barren continent without even a name."
"My ancestors were all blacksmiths, and it has been passed down to me for over a hundred generations..."
"Being obsessed with blacksmithing, I embarked on the path of Body Refining, a path I have walked for a very long time, making many wrong turns and taking much time..."
"I refine my body, in fact, to better forge and smith, to have the strength to craft more powerful weapons."
After hearing Wu Di’s self-introduction, Su Mu also sharply inhaled.
He hadn’t expected Wu Di’s background to be so humble; going from a mere mortal blacksmith to this point was truly unbelievable, truly unimaginable...
Wu Di voluntarily introduced his background, and Su Mu also reciprocated with a simple introduction:
"I have no special identity; I am the River Guardian here."
"I guard this river."
After hearing this, Wu Di’s eyes widened, his gaze towards Su Mu filled with disbelief.
Isn’t this the River of Time?
He was the guardian here, which means he is the Time River Guardian?!
At this moment, he understood why Su Mu gave him such a strong sense of oppression, why he could appear in his residence unnoticed.
It turned out that this River of Time was guarded by him!
No wonder every Magical Treasure he took out was astonishing.
...
At this moment, a thought that had never occurred to Wu Di before emerged in his mind.
He returned the silver dagger to Su Mu and said very seriously, "Brother Su, I wish to spar with you."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu was stunned and asked in response, "Spar with me?"
"Yes."
"I hope Brother Su can give it your all; I want to test my current level of strength."
In truth, he wanted to test Su Mu’s level of strength to make an informed decision.
Although he had been out of touch with the Ten Thousand Realms for a very long time, having no interest in the developments there, he had heard of the "River Guardian" fame...
This alone showed that Su Mu’s fame was indeed extensive!
Because once you reach a certain level, even if you want to avoid it, some major causes and effects cannot be avoided.
For example, even though he had hidden by the River of Time to smith, not wishing to be disturbed by anyone, he still encountered Su Mu; this is fate.
...
"Alright."
Su Mu said as he looked at Wu Di.
In fact, he also wanted to find an opportunity to test Wu Di’s strength; now that Wu Di had requested it, it suited him perfectly.
The two stood on an open ground, facing each other.
To prevent too wide a spread, Su Mu waved his large hand, and a golden seal flew out from his sleeve, floating above the two.
In the next second, the seal emitted Immortal Light, enveloping the surroundings, and the scenery around began to change as they entered an independent Different Dimension.
In this Different Dimension, the space was infinitely large, unrestricted by space, allowing them to fully showcase their skills.
...
Wu Di looked up, observing that the Space Rules were very sturdy.
"Rest assured, this space will not enhance me in any way, nor will it affect you in any way."
Su Mu said to Wu Di.
......
Wu Di looked at Su Mu, flames of battle intent igniting in his pupils. As his pupils contracted, a powerful aura instantly enveloped the space, his Vital Blood Force so strong it materialized, with thick golden blood mist filling the space, spreading beyond his sight.
This was merely Wu Di’s blood qi overflowing, yet to such an extent, demonstrating his powerful physique.
...
Su Mu still stood in place, without any movements or use of Cultivation Techniques.
He intended to clash physically with Wu Di, as he had long desired to test the limits of his own body.
