Outside the Forest Demon Grave, silence reigned, so still that the drop of a pin could be heard.
At this moment,
Space behind the enormous stele suddenly began to distort.
Although the fluctuations were minor, they instantly drew the attention of everyone around.
At this instant, all eyes were fixed on the area that was gradually twisting.
"Is it Qin Chen and his companion?"
Someone said this, and for some reason, their blood began to boil.
"Please, let it not be you."
Guo Chen stood to the side, fists clenched tightly, looking as if he were the one facing life and death, with an expression of intense nervousness on his face.
Suddenly, in this moment, two figures stepped out from the twisting space.
This moment, the entire crowd focused!
Stepping out of the Forest Demon Grave.
It seemed as if, having stayed in the Forest Demon Grave for too long, the moment Qin Chen and his companion left, they felt a noticeable rise in temperature.
However, Qin Chen quickly realized that this increase in temperature seemed a bit strange.
Until, Qin Chen completely left the Forest Demon Grave.
Qin Chen looked up, scanning his surroundings.
At this moment, Qin Chenâs expression darkened sharply.
They... hadnât left!
And moreover, Qin Chen saw many new faces.
These people were staring at Qin Chen and his companion like hungry tigers eyeing their prey.
"Qin Chen!"
"They, they really came out from inside!"
Suddenly, shouts and tumultuous noises ignited the previously silent hall completely.
Their curiosity, at this moment, reached its peak.
Because they knew.
What the appearance of Qin Chen and his companion truly meant.
As for Dou Li, Zuo Qiucheng, and others.
At this moment, their faces were brimming with coldness.
"So, youâve finally come out, have you?"
Zuo Qiucheng opened those eyes that had been closed for a long time, casting a cold glare at Qin Chen and his companion.
"Damn it."
Only in one area, in stark contrast to the rest of the great hall, stood the Nine-star Palace.
Guo Chenâs complexion was incredibly grim at this moment.
At the same time, deep helplessness and powerlessness filled his eyes.
Qin Chen and Mon Tianran stood at the center of everyoneâs gaze.
Then, under the watchful eyes of all, Qin Chen and his companion slowly walked away.
The expressions on peopleâs faces suddenly froze.
Was this... a snub?
A complete disregard of everyone present?
Or perhaps, fear? An attempt to flee?
Yet, the steps of Qin Chen and his companion were neither hurried nor panicked, showing no signs of fear whatsoever.
Moreover, given the current situation, even if Qin Chen and his companion wanted to flee, could they really escape?
"Halt!"
A thunderous shout suddenly erupted, halting the steps of Qin Chen and his companion in their tracks.
The speaker was Chao Tianhuo, the strongest disciple of the Skyfire Sect.
"Do you two think all of us here are just air?!"
Chao Tianhuoâs gaze was as cold as ice as he stared at Qin Chen and his companion.
Chao Tianhuoâs voice echoed within the great hall.
In the next moment, to everyoneâs astonishment,
The steps of Qin Chen and his companion paused only briefly before moving forward once again.
Being ignored again?
Many hearts skipped a beat.
How bold were they?
To consecutively disregard the presence of so many who wished to kill them?
"Impudence!!"
Seeing his words dismissed as if carried away by the wind, Chao Tianhuo seethed with rage.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, he demonstrated a Low Grade Earth Martial Art movement technique and appeared directly in front of Qin Chen and his companion.
On him, a wild and domineering Sword Intent faintly spread, rampaging over his body.
"Do you intend to stop us?"
Qin Chenâs gaze was fixed on Chao Tianhuo.
Qin Chen knew that today a bloody battle was inevitable.
He had chosen to ignore everyone else because he wanted to see just how many would attempt to kill them today.
"Yes, what about it?!"
Chao Tianhuoâs voice was filled with unmatched arrogance.
In his eyes,
to disciples from a One-star Sect, he had every reason to be overbearing and arrogant.
"Tell me, what did you get from the Forest Demon Grave?"
Chao Tianhuoâs eyes were fixed on Qin Chen.
His tone carried an unquestionable certainty.
"Why should I tell you?" Qin Chen sneered, saying.
"Could it be that I am to interpret this as..."
"You two are seeking death?!"
Upon hearing this, Chao Tianhuoâs patience vanished in an instant.
His eyes already held a sharp and deadly edge.
"Do you know, before this, two people of the same status as you died by my hand?"
Qin Chen coldly spat out the words as he looked at Chao Tianhuo.
Chao Tianhuoâs expression shifted slightly, but he quickly recovered.
"Are you talking about Ba Zhao and Cai Feng?" Chao Tianhuo smirked coldly.
Clearly, he had not witnessed Qin Chen slaying Ba Zhao and Cai Feng.
However, the commotion that day had been so great that he naturally had heard of it.
Qin Chen didnât reply, his silence serving as an acknowledgment.
"Donât think I donât know."
"That day, the reason you could kill them was because it happened on the Black Crow Life and Death Bridge!"
"This place is not the Black Crow Life and Death Bridge!"
"Your advantage here will be completely gone!"
Chao Tianhuo spoke with a cold laugh.
"Let me remind you,"
"When I killed Ba Zhao and Cai Feng, that was half a month ago," Qin Chen said.
"So what?!"
"In just half a month, could your strength possibly have surged that much?!"
Chao Tianhuoâs voice dripped with mockery.
"It seems Iâve overestimated a disciple from a Four-star Sect."
"Such arrogance, truly ignorant."
Seeing the contempt in Chao Tianhuoâs eyes, Qin Chen couldnât help but shake his head and chuckle.
"Ignorant?" Chao Tianhuo laughed in anger.
"Today, then, letâs see whether itâs me whoâs ignorant or you!"
Boom!
As soon as Chao Tianhuoâs words finished, his combat power erupted explosively.
Twin Dragons Roar to the Sky!
Two Divine Dragons spiraled above his head, their fierce presence rolling forth like a blade cutting to the marrow.
Chao Tianhuoâs Cultivation was at the Heavenly Origin Second Realm.
Moreover, he was a Combat Power Genius who could fight across Two Realms.
Thus, at this moment, Chao Tianhuoâs combat power surged up to the Heavenly Origin Fourth Layer.
In his hand, he held an Upper Grade Earth Origin weapon.
Now, as Chao Tianhuoâs combat power burst forth,
the blade of that weapon emitted an endless torrent of overbearing Sword Intent, as if with one slash, he could shatter everything under the heavens.
"Compared to Ba Zhao and Cai Feng, this man is stronger."
Qin Chenâs eyes narrowed at the sight of Chao Tianhuoâs combat power.
Around them,
Ning Jia, Lu Hu, Dou Li, Zuo Qiucheng, and others held back from taking action.
Clearly, they all wanted to observe and wait for the key moment to strike.
"This place is not the Black Crow Life and Death Bridge."
"Qin Chen might be in danger of falling..."
The onlookers thought to themselves.
