Chapter 407 - 407: Qin Ziteng’s Intervention
At this moment, Qin Hao had displayed two divine techniques. Few at the same level could withstand such an onslaught head-on.
Finally, the sword light exploded, billions of divine swords dissipating into nothingness. They became a stream of light, vanishing into the void.
Yet after the swords faded, a massive claw rapidly enlarged before Qin Yuan’s eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan’s expression drastically changed as he exclaimed, “How is this possible?”
That previous strike had been so astonishing. How could one of Qin Hao’s twin beast phantoms still remain?
Given his current state, if truly struck by that attack, the outcome would undoubtedly be dire. Though dying was unlikely, grievous wounds were inevitable. Once he was severely injured, today’s battle would surely conclude.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan had no time for hesitation. His palm flipped, and a bronze stone seal instantly appeared within.
In the moment this stone seal appeared, it grew rapidly against the wind, instantly covering an area of several hundred miles, forming a barrier in front of itself.
Bang! A loud sound rang out.
The Suan Ni’s gigantic claw collided with the stone seal, emitting a deafening metallic clang.
The seal Qin Yuan had used was a low-grade Dao weapon that blocked the strike. Yet even so, Qin Yuan was hardly unscathed.
He was blasted flying, his organs nearly displaced. Blood gushed from his mouth, dyeing the sky crimson. He looked absolutely miserable.
“How hateful!” Qin Yuan roared furiously. He tumbled through the air and took out a jade bottle, pouring out a golden pill he was about to swallow to heal his wounds.
But at that moment, Qin Hao suddenly charged over swiftly with unforgiving intent.
Bang!
Before Qin Yuan could swallow the pill, it was forcibly shattered.
The two clashed again. This time it differed from before. In no time, Qin Yuan was battered flying once more.
He wanted to activate the Mystic Eyes divine technique, but Qin Hao never provided the chance. At each critical juncture, Qin Hao would abruptly change moves, denying Qin Yuan any opportunity to mimic him.
In just half a day, countless wounds covered both their bodies. As the end neared, each deployed their hidden trump cards, seeking to defeat the other as swiftly as possible.
“All!” Qin Yuan cried out.
In this exchange, he had suffered tremendously. His entire right arm was mangled, his body drenched in blood. The exposed white bones were gruesome to behold.
Qin Hao charged forth, exerting his all to suppress Qin Yuan. He punched out continuously, determined to end Qin Yuan then and there without providing any chance.
Seeing Qin Yuan on the cusp of defeat, Qin Ziteng and the rest could endure no more.
In their Qin family, Qin Hao was virtually already expelled. While Qin Yuan was their future. It could be said that in the Qin family, anyone could fall, even…die! But Qin Yuan alone could not be harmed! He could not even be defeated! For he represented the Qin family’s honor!
“Stop!” With a loud shout from Qin Ziteng, the heavens shook. Even time seemed to momentarily halt as a pressure akin to that of a saint swept forth, overwhelming the vast sky.
All present felt as if engulfed by a boundless ocean, nearly unable to breathe.
“Qin Ziteng? Is he finally making his move?”
Everyone present felt the Saint Realm pressure, their hearts quaking as they looked toward Qin Ziteng.
But with a saint’s pressure bearing down on them, turning their heads was impossible, let alone the weaker among them even twitching a finger.
Innumerable beings could no longer stay aloft, plunging from the sky. If it weren’t for the cultivators having tougher bodies, many would have been thrown to death directly!
Time itself seemed frozen in this moment. A saint’s might was unfathomable!
None knew how many heavenly tribulations Qin Ziteng had crossed. But from his current aura, he was no ordinary Saint Realm expert, at minimum having passed five Saint Tribulations!
With his aura alone, he could nearly freeze the void! He might even have crossed six or seven heavenly tribulations!
Qin Hao was pressed from the sky down to the earth, his legs sunk deep within. It was as if he shouldered a mountain, on the verge of being pressed into the planet’s core.
Even at his peak, Qin Hao would have struggled to withstand a saint’s pressure. Let alone now when he was already grievously wounded.
His battle with Qin Yuan had reached the brink of life and death. The only reason he could hold on until now was relying on his last bit of strength, wanting to determine the outcome. At the same time, he also wanted to distinguish between life and death!
Now, interrupted at the most critical juncture, the injuries within his body fully erupted.
Boody wounds split open as fresh blood flowed out, dyeing Qin Hao into a bloodied figure.
Even though he had refined quite a bit of the Black Blood Stones, which could aid in quickly recovering from injuries, at this moment, with the pressure of a saint’s aura present, his recovery speed was far from keeping up with the pace of his injuries.
The instant a wound closed, it burst open again the next second in an endless cycle. His spiritual power was rapidly depleted as his whole body began to wither.
The only reason he could continue to persevere now was simply due to his unyielding willpower.
On the other side, Qin Ziteng strode upon the air. He paid Qin Hao no heed. In his eyes, with his appearance, a mere Nirvana Realm prodigy was nothing to worry over!
Unless Su Chen made a move! But with Su Chen yet to show himself, none presently dared obstruct Qin Ziteng!
The paramount matter now was Qin Yuan’s wounds! Everything else paled compared to them.
“Yuan’er, how are your injuries?” Qin Ziteng came before Qin Yuan and helped him up. A pill appeared in his hand and was fed into Qin Yuan’s mouth as he asked with utmost concern.
All present were left speechless by this scene. The life-and-death battle between the two exceptional talents was about to reach its climax. It was somewhat unacceptable that someone from the older generation like Qin Ziteng had personally intervened.
However, given the Qin family’s prestige and the nearby Shadowless Hall, many who wished to speak for Qin Hao could only reluctantly swallow their words.
It was not hard to speak for Qin Hao, but the situation they would face after doing so had to be carefully weighed.
After all, the Qin family and the Shadowless Hall were not to be trifled with! If they dared not confront Su Chen now, did that mean they wouldn’t dare to deal with others either?
