Chapter 409 - 409: Want to Be My Enemy?
“Sixth Ancestor?” Qin Ziteng looked at the elder in confusion.
Even he could see Qin Hao’s threat. The Sixth Ancestor had lived so long in this world, so how could he not discern Qin Hao’s immense potential?
If Qin Hao continued unrestrained, along with today’s events and the past, once he fully matured he would surely not let their Qin family off.
No! To be precise, he would not spare those of their lineage.
The other clansmen might be fine, having never provoked Qin Hao. But Qin Ziteng’s lineage, Qin Yuan included, likely faced dire ends.
In this cruel world, when holding the advantage, they did not kill. With the tables turned, whether they could keep their lives would no longer be up to them.
The Sixth Ancestor’s expression was very awkward. His face twitched as he gazed into the void beside him, speaking heavily, “Fellow Daoist Su Chen, are you satisfied now?”
These words left all present rooted in place.
Su…Su Chen? Had he not failed to come? What did the current words of the Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor signify?
Moreover, everyone knew full well the Sixth Ancestor was a Saint King Realm master. He had lived for so long that few could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, let alone be addressed by him as “fellow Daoist”.
“Is this your Qin family’s sincerity?” Just then, a light and gentle voice echoed between heaven and earth.
The next moment, the void suddenly ruptured with a rumble.
Right after, a hazy figure appeared before everyone, emanating endless radiance like a celestial being, standing in mid-air, making people unable to resist the urge to kneel and bow in reverence.
None could clearly glimpse his true form.
This seemed but a phantom, ensconced in dazzling runes, mysterious yet mighty.
One could sense this was a young man whose aura blotted out the heavens. He appeared as if a celestial deity descending, causing souls to tremble. The only discernible feature was those profound eyes, filled with astonishing scenes, shrouded in primordial chaos as if creating the world anew. Though not some eye technique, they could project such terrifying vistas.
In his hand, he held a black-red longsword that seemed to flow with blood, containing a billowing aura of endless slaughter. The shifting light was mighty and daunting to the extreme.
The Azure Dragon Sword! At the sight of this blade, countless hearts pounded violently.
After Dashang’s downfall, Su Chen’s fame reached its zenith in the Heavenly Martial Continent. Many yearned to meet him, yet found no chance. Today, unexpectedly, they encountered him here.
But the one who came today seemed not Su Chen’s true form, but a phantom. Yet it was still tremendously formidable. From this specter, it was hard to discern Su Chen’s precise might. But the terrifying pressure was undeniable. With only this phantom, over 90% of the experts present could likely be annihilated. Even Saint King Realm masters had to bow their heads, addressing Su Chen as a “fellow Daoist”.
One had to understand that in countless eyes, Su Chen was merely a Saint Realm powerhouse!
“Su Chen… How could it be him?” Qin Ziteng’s expression froze as he mutely gazed at the figure in the sky, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Just now, endless thoughts had flashed through his mind. He had even wondered if the Sixth Ancestor’s heart was moved by compassion.
Yet he never expected Su Chen to be meddling in this. Su Chen was merely a saint! While his ancestor was a Saint King Realm master.
What virtue or ability did Su Chen possess to make his Sixth Ancestor lower his head? Could it be due to the True Dragon behind Su Chen? But even so, it was merely a contest between two saint kings! With the entire Qin family behind him, the Sixth Ancestor had no cause to bow before Su Chen!
Not just Qin Ziteng, but everyone, including Qin Yuan, was baffled by this. Only the Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor was guarded, gazing at Su Chen’s phantom with deep dread.
Though their first meeting, the pressure Su Chen exuded was no less than an equal-level expert. Even…greater!
This led him to suspect Su Chen may have already become a Great Saint Realm or even Saint King Realm powerhouse!
But as soon as this thought emerged, it was promptly dismissed by the Sixth Ancestor because it was just too unimaginable. Su Chen had only been cultivating for a very limited time! Becoming a saint at his current age was already unparalleled, with no predecessors or successors to compare. If he were to become a great saint or even a saint king, it was likely that Su Chen’s potential could no longer be measured by conventional standards.
“Fellow Daoist Su, what sincerity do you ask for?” The Sixth Ancestor steadied himself and spoke heavily.
He deeply respected Su Chen, but that did not mean fear. He simply wanted to avoid escalation. After all, he could effortlessly kill Qin Hao! But equally, with Qin Yuan present, if they became enemies, Su Chen could directly end Qin Yuan!
If both Qin Hao and Qin Yuan perished in the end, it would be a massive loss for their Qin family. As the sixth ancestor, he could not make such a blunder.
In mid-air, Su Chen’s will descended. Although his figure appeared ethereal, it exuded extreme strength, as if a god-king had come to earth. Every inch of his skin emitted boundless divine radiance. His disheveled long hair and profound eyes, along with a barely perceptible yet sweeping pressure, stirred the hearts of those who witnessed it.
Below, Qin Hao was first in despair, then endless joy. He’d thought his elder brother might not come. Yet unexpectedly, he had still descended at this crucial moment! With Su Chen present, none could harm him today. This sudden trust inexplicably swelled in Qin Hao’s heart.
Even the Qin family and the nearby Shadowless Hall chose to avoid confrontation, declining to vie with Su Chen. This subtly left all present in awe.
In this brief span, Su Chen alone had become an enormous momentum. Moreover, one that could not be stopped! Wherever he went, no forces dared contend with him, let alone mere youths like Qin Yuan.
After a brief silence, Su Chen’s phantom slightly lowered its gaze at the Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor. He spoke slowly, “Qin Ziteng is the Qin family’s patriarch. Knowing Qin Hao is my sworn brother, he still moves against him. Does he plan to make an enemy of me?”
The statement was calm and ordinary, but to those who heard it, it was no less impactful than a thunderclap!
