Chapter 460: It’s just Playacting
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After both sides retreated several hundred meters, they stood still again.
The previous exchange had absolutely no impact on either of them – injury was simply impossible. For the two, it was merely a probe.
“Impressive! Su Chen, you’re quite the talent! You’ve surprised me greatly!”
The Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man had an icy expression, his entire body radiating a terrifying aura of bloodlust like an infernal demon god. His eyes seemed to spew killing intent as he fixed his gaze on Su Chen, the rage in his chest no longer containable.
Back in the East Barrens, the Golden Crow Clan had frequently suffered losses at Su Chen’s hands.
However, he did not expect that after coming to the Southern Region, the Thundercloud Hou Clan, who were on good terms with the Golden Crow Clan, would have a great saint directly fall by Su Chen’s hand.
Now, with new hatred atop old grudges, he was barely clinging to rationality. At this moment, he resented Su Chen deeply and wished to kill him as quickly as possible!
This Su Chen was truly detestable! It was ironic that not long ago, he himself used to address him as “fellow Daoists,” showing the utmost respect toward him.
Now, in retrospect, the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man wished he could slap himself for that. Yet he suppressed his fury and maintained composure.
His body ascended into the sky, golden hair fluttering in the wind. His eyes were like two tiny suns, his robes flapping from the gusts.
The treasure wheel behind him also erupted with supreme divine might, seeming to quell heaven and earth. A dreadful projection slowly emerged, like an ancient quasi-emperor revived to oppress the world.
For weaker cultivators, this sight alone could scare them out of their wits.
“Su Chen! I must admit, your strength is indeed formidable. But do you think that just by having a Quasi-Saint Realm woman at your side, you can oppose me? Unless you possess a Great Emperor Realm weapon, everything else is useless against my Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon. They would be crushed like ants! Even with your extraordinary talents, Su Chen, it will be hard for you to escape your demise this day!”
He had reached the pinnacle of arrogance.
To be frank, without a Great Emperor Realm weapon, it would be difficult for Su Chen to slip out of this predicament. Unless he still had other cards left…
“A Great Emperor Realm weapon? I do not have one.” Su Chen glanced up mildly at the extremely arrogant figure in the sky, slowly shaking his head as he spoke.
Yet before the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man’s face could show joy…Su Chen suddenly continued, “I wonder if an immortal grand formation could match your Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon?”
He looked to Ye Ruxue after speaking.
Seeing this, a trace of a breathtaking smile emerged on Ye Ruxue’s face. She gently nodded.
The two already had a tacit understanding that transcended words.
Ye Ruxue didn’t even need Su Chen to say anything – her fair hand had already lifted lightly. In the next moment, countless divine patterns were drawn into the void. The surrounding mountains shuddered in response.
Immediately after, an eerie aura slowly spread out that made even the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man’s scalp tingle despite the protection of his Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon.
At this moment, he desperately wished to flee this place.
This was too bizarre! Too strange and terrifying!
He could not fathom how a mere Quasi-Saint Realm human woman could threaten his existence. If not for seeing it personally, he would never have believed it.
Yet the truth stood plainly before him now, unavoidable.
“Humph! It’s just a deceptive playacting!” The Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man let out a cold humph, though his heart quaked.
He would give them no quarter. The treasure wheel behind him, at this moment, radiated endless flashes of blades, tearing through the void. Dense and countless, boundless, it seems like an expansive ocean unfolding.
Each ray contained the sound of the Great Dao, latent with horrifying power.
Even if a peak-stage Great Saint Realm powerhouse were to personally face this strike, escaping unscathed would be difficult!
The countless saber lights cleaved through the firmament in that instant, seemingly transcending the limits of time and space as they instantly appeared before Su Chen’s forehead in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, it was as if heaven and earth crumbled while the eternal azure sky above seemed to collapse. The terror was palpable.
Even saint kings would have to treat this strike with care.
Yet Su Chen did not attempt to dodge or even move, standing transfixed like a frightened statue.
The Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man felt extremely bewildered by this sight.
However, at this critical moment, each second was pivotal. He had no time for extra thought. As long as he could slay Su Chen, everything afterward would fall into place.
Not only could he avenge past grievances, but the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master would fall neatly into his lap.
As for that human woman…he already had countermeasures brewing.
From their prior interactions, it was apparent she had an intimate relationship with Su Chen. If that were so, he would savor her properly – consider it recompense for his fallen Thundercloud Hou Clan friend.
Most vital, however, was seizing the inheritance!
After all, under Su Chen’s lead, they had advanced far ahead of all rivals. Those other searchers were likely still struggling fruitlessly elsewhere. To reach such heights would require massive time and effort on their part.
Yet, right as the billion saber lights were about to reap Su Chen…
Boom!
A deafening rumble rang out!
In the next moment, a streak of blood-red smoke leisurely drifted up, piercing through the clouds straight into the highest heavens!
The dense mass of saber lights was virtually defenseless before this abrupt development. In an instant, they were pulverized into nothingness, vanishing between heaven and earth.
“What…what is that?” The Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man’s mind quaked violently.
He gazed upward only to see boundless thick columns of bright crimson smoke shattering through the firmament, disappearing into the vast cosmos. The entire land left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master seemed to erupt at this moment, roiling and seething.
The sight before him was too terrifying! These types of fluctuations were rarely seen even over countless eons. Even separated by hundreds of millions of miles the bursts would make one’s heart palpitate with dread, wanting to escape with haste. Let alone having the crimson fumes right before one’s eyes!
At this moment, even saint kings would feel inclined to bow down and submit…
The Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man’s mind was a stormy sea, his body involuntarily trembling..
