Chapter 410: Su Chen Attacks
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After hearing Su Chen’s words, Qin Ziteng’s expression turned extremely complex and gloomy.
Su Chen had already annihilated the Spirit Race. The relationship between the Spirit Race and the Qin family was clear to all in the East Barrens, even the entire continent.
Yet now, Su Chen spoke of making an enemy of him? Was this not deliberately muddying the waters? When Su Chen destroyed the Spirit Race, he had already become enemies with their Qin family!
Fury blazed within Qin Ziteng, nearly erupting outward. But at the final moment, he suppressed it.
Since Su Chen had come, it meant the saint king behind him was also present. If they battled Su Chen now, even the Qin family’s deep foundation could only muster one saint king against one saint here. Against Su Chen, they had no advantage whatsoever.
As for whether the Qin-aligned factions would aid them, Qin Ziteng had never considered it. With third-party involvement, Su Chen’s allies were also not few. In the end, a great battle might erupt here.
Only if the Shadowless Hall intervened could this storm be completely averted. But the crux was the Shadowless Hall had always stood aloof from secular affairs. To them, avoiding interference in other factions’ conflicts was habitual.
In their view, as long as Qin Yuan still lived, naught else concerned them. As for how many casualties the Qin family suffered, that was even less of a concern for the Shadowless Hall.
Thinking of this, Qin Ziteng’s heart plummeted. He spoke in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Su, I am merely managing my clan’s affairs. As an outsider, intervening in our Qin family’s matters, isn’t it a bit inappropriate, to say the least?”
“Inappropriate? If it’s inappropriate, then let’s not talk about it. As for today’s matter, I’ve taken charge. What can you, Qin Ziteng, do?” Su Chen casually replied.
Hearing this, Qin Ziteng’s expression instantly froze. He had never imagined Su Chen would so bluntly admit to interfering in the Qin family’s affairs.
If this news spread, it would surely deal their reputation a heavy blow. After all, if outsiders were intervening in their family affairs, what dignity did they, an ancient imperial family, have to surpa.s.s other forces?
“Su Chen! Do not go too far!” Qin Ziteng erupted furiously.
Striding forward, he fixed his eyes on Su Chen and spoke with a solemn expression, “I have yet to settle the matter of the Spirit Race with you. Today, you humiliate my Qin family again. Do you really believe my Qin family is devoid of talent?”
As his words fell, a layer of green battle armor enveloped Qin Ziteng. This was a sacred weapon. The surrounding void warped under its pressure as traces of the Great Dao emerged, its aura majestic.
His casual stance sent shivers down one’s spine. A terrifying aura and a dense surge of vital energy swept across heaven and earth. There was a feeling as if he could swallow mountains and rivers, a sign that he could strike at any moment.
Seeing this, the surrounding spectators swiftly retreated.
The battle between the Nirvana Realm youths was not even worth mentioning. They could simply watch nearby. But the battle between saints was different. Once Su Chen and Qin Ziteng clashed, the scene would undoubtedly be one of catastrophic devastation. Even the stars in the firmament might shatter.
If they remained, their flesh and souls would likely be obliterated without a speck left behind.
“Oh?” Su Chen’s phantom gazed at the green-armored Qin Ziteng as if witnessing something bizarre. He said, “Do you want to battle me?”
“So what?” Qin Ziteng spoke icily.
As an elder, Su Chen was but a junior before him. Yet now they stood equal, while Qin Ziteng had never forsaken an elder’s pride.
Although Su Chen’s talent was peerless, Qin Ziteng was not far inferior. To reach their present heights, who had not been a genius in their youth?
Moreover, he had lived for thousands of years. His experience contending with foes was plentiful indeed. Even if Su Chen’s battle prowess edged ahead with his dual talents, he would inevitably lose out in experience.
From this angle, if they clashed, at the minimum it would be an even match! As long as they fought evenly, Su Chen’s storied reputation would be rendered worthless. After all, reputation alone was just reputation. Without absolute strength to back it up, even the greatest renown would be like water flowing away.
“You have courage! Yet it is a pity…” Su Chen stared at him and spoke indifferently.
Boom!
His icy words descended from the heavens. Before he could even finish speaking, an aura erupted from Su Chen’s phantom as explosively as a mountain flood.
At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to overturn, as if an entire galaxy descended. All living beings within a radius of a million miles involuntarily knelt down.
Boom!
Su Chen flicked his finger. In a flash, divine light resembling an azure dragon’s leap shattered all obstacles.
Before Qin Ziteng could react, it had already arrived before him. Qin Ziteng only managed to raise both arms blocking his face. But this was inadequate to divert Su Chen’s terrifying strike.
He was directly blasted flying. The battle armor that was the root of his fame revealed shocking fissures from the divine light’s impact.
A deafening sound rang out as Qin Ziteng hurtled like a meteor, gouging out a chasm thousands of feet deep as he skidded along the ground. From the sky above, the sight was tremendously shocking.
“Yet it is a pity your strength is far too lacking!” Su Chen’s composed voice followed.
The next moment, Su Chen withdrew and stood quietly, gazing down at Qin Ziteng below.
Witnessing this scene, all present were extremely shaken, remaining speechless for a long time. This was truly too inconceivable.
Su Chen was a powerhouse at the Saint Realm! And Qin Ziteng was likewise among the elites within the Saint Realm. Yet today, not even Su Chen’s true form had appeared. Merely a projection had been enough to completely suppress him.
If Su Chen himself came, what scene might that be? Perhaps, he could even achieve instant destruction!
“How is this possible?” Such was the thought of countless people present.
Especially Qin Yuan, who was completely dumbfounded. A mere few years ago, his fame had been on par with Su Chen’s. Although his reputation suffered a huge blow due to his Longevity Immortal Body stemming from Qin Hao, overall many still thought highly of him. Even Qin Yuan himself had always believed the disparity between him and Su Chen was not substantial.
Back then, he had been in the Nirvana Realm while Su Chen was only in the Quasi-Saint Realm. They differed by just one major realm. Yet now….everything had changed!
