As the disdainful words fell, a cloud began gathering in the sky. On it stood a gray-robed man. He was not very tall or strong, yet carried an aura that looked down on the world and all living beings as if no one in the East Barrens could be his equal.
Facing Su Chen’s attack, he remained composed. From his bosom, he retrieved a golden talisman. On it, six black runes condensed countless bolts of lightning that pierced the heavens in an instant. The resulting collision was like a mountain collapsing, with deafening thunder.
“Is it…him?” Qin Yuan’s face flashed with surprise.
He had thought this person would not show up. Yet at this critical juncture, he had blocked that terrifying strike.
“Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?”
“With such bearing, he can’t be a nobody. An expert from the Shadowless Hall perhaps?”
“Su Chen is among the best saints, able to battle great saints. For someone to block his casual attack is no ordinary being!”
“It must be the expert of the Shadowless Hall!”
“But the East Barrens branch of the Shadowless Hall has no such person!”
“He must be from the main hall then!”
“That’s right. Qin Yuan is a prodigy of the Shadowless Hall. How could they ignore Su Chen crippling his Longevity Immortal Body?”
“How terrifying!”
Amidst the discussions, the gray-robed man’s lips curled into a cold smile, filled with disdain. Hands clasped behind his back, robes fluttering, he held the bearing of one looking down on all beings.
He had not intended to make a move. After all, Su Chen’s strength exceeded his expectations. Even using his trump card, he held no confidence in defeating Su Chen. Besides, this was not Su Chen’s true self, just a phantom. Vanquishing a mere phantom despite exhausting all methods would be a losing deal no sane person would take.
However, Su Chen trying to erase Qin Yuan’s Longevity Immortal Body was unacceptable. In the end, he too came with orders to find the Longevity Immortal Body’s owner. The moment he saw Qin Yuan, he determined the ancient mighty one’s words would likely come true for him! If nothing unexpected happened, Qin Yuan would surely rise above all beings in the future. For this, he could not let anything happen to Qin Yuan. At the very least, Qin Yuan’s Longevity Immortal Body had to be preserved.
As for Qin Hao, he only glanced at him before losing interest. Without the Longevity Immortal Body, that was Qin Hao’s fatal flaw. Even if he showed signs of recovering, the final outcome remained uncertain. The Longevity Immortal Body was no common thing. Its return could not be taken for granted. Most importantly, Qin Hao was a rogue cultivator! For great clans like his, those without backing often died young. Qin Yuan was different. With the Qin family, the Shadowless Hall, and now his master behind him, Qin Yuan might suffer but would never perish! With Qin Hao’s future uncertain, Qin Yuan was undoubtedly the best choice, irreplaceable by any other!
Thinking thus, he cupped his hands and proclaimed loudly, “Zhang Feng of the ancient Long family greets fellow Daoists!”contemporary romance
“Long family?” Many present revealed puzzled looks. They sized up the gray-robed man, certain he was but a lowly servant of the clan, yet he regarded all with disdainful eyes. This made them uncomfortable, for few had heard of this Long family, let alone one claimed to be “ancient.”
“Is there such a power in the East Barrens?” someone asked softly.
“I’ve never heard of this Long family. It can’t be from the East Barrens,” an elder replied thoughtfully. “Of course, they may have always been in seclusion, unknown to the world. That would explain why we haven’t heard of them.”
“Long family?” Su Chen muttered the words, his expression intrigued. Glancing at Zhang Feng, he said indifferently, “Quasi-Saint Realm?”
“Haha… So what if I’m only at the Quasi-Saint Realm? Killing you will suffice!” Zhang Feng retorted arrogantly. “Qin Yuan is valued by my master. Crippling his Longevity Immortal Body makes you an enemy of the Long family! The ancient Long family is not something the mere Qin family can compare to!”
At this, the previously overjoyed Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor and Qin Ziteng now wore ugly expressions.
Even though the ancient Long family was powerful, but must he belittle them so? What grievance had the Qin family committed? The Sixth Ancestor suppressed his anger only because Zhang Feng had acted to save Qin Yuan’s face. Otherwise, he’d have struck the man dead long ago. If he could not deal with Su Chen, could he not handle a mere quasi-saint?
“Haha…” Su Chen laughed. “You’re just a servant. Do you think a few compliments qualify you to be my equal? You’re not worthy of calling me Fellow Daoist!”
Su Chen’s voice gradually became cold. In the vast expanse of the heavens and earth, a succession of killing intent surged, enveloping the wilderness for tens of thousands of miles in a layer of bloody mist.
Everyone felt a chill running down their spines, an extreme sense of horror. This was substantialized killing intent, evolving in the void.
Beings capable of reaching this level typically had a strength of at least the Saint Realm or above! Moreover, even among those at the Saint Realm, not everyone could achieve what Su Chen had accomplished!
