A God Clan Elder Defies the Heavens

The old fisherman narrowed his eyes, looked at Chen Ning, and smiled, "It's a great fortune that the Nine Provinces Realm could produce someone like you. It's just a pity that those in power in my clan are short-sighted and didn't win you over. You originally had the opportunity to serve my clan."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning understood the other party's background.

It seems the Darkness God Clan are starting to panic as they see themselves growing too fast.

But Chen Ning found it rather strange that the old man seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with his own God Clan.

Two possibilities.

Either he has ulterior motives.

Either he is of extremely high seniority.

It's most likely the latter.

The facts were just as Chen Ning had guessed.

The old fisherman held a very high position among the Darkness God Clan, being a generation older than the current clan leader.

It's just always been that way.

They were indifferent to power and influence within the clan.

They stopped interfering in the affairs of the Darkness God Clan a long time ago.

But.

It's not that we don't care.

He is actually a trump card for the Darkness God Clan.

He was the one who did all the dirty work behind the scenes.

His real name is Chu Hengkong.

Late Saint Emperor stage realm.

Given Chen Ning's current strength, he was definitely no match for the other party. Therefore, after the other party finished speaking, Chen Ning said, "Senior, you are truly insightful. In fact, I very much want to serve the nobility. It has all been a misunderstanding. Today, with your arrival, it's truly like meeting an old friend. It's not too late to turn hostility into friendship, is it?"

"You lad, sharp-tongued and with a remarkable character. If it were in the past, taking you under my wing would surely have made you one of the strongest warriors of my Darkness God Clan. But alas, it is too late now. Trying to win you over now would only bring a lurking tiger into our ranks, one that may strike at any moment."

"The old man isn't stupid."

Chen Ning sighed; it seemed that a battle was the only option.

Behind Chu Hengkong, his five disciples shouted in unison, "Master, please wait. We will go and take his head off!"

After saying that.

Five men charged out.

All five of them were at the Saint King Late Stage realm.

Moreover, they are all elite forces among the God Clan, and under Chu Hengkong's guidance, they joined forces to attack. Even against Saint Emperor Early Stage, they would have the strength to fight.

Now.

Each of the five unleashed a powerful killing move.

Spirit Flame Storm.

A giant hand a hundred feet tall.

Destructive Fist Shadow.

It also involves the combination of secret treasures and forbidden techniques.

The five of them had excellent teamwork.

A massive offensive came from all directions.

They wanted to completely destroy Chen Ning.

They knew Chen Ning was capable of defeating the Divine Son of Kunlun, so they immediately unleashed their most lethal attacks.

Chen Ning, however, remained completely unafraid.

Actually.

The only person he truly feared was Chu Hengkong, a Late Saint Emperor.

His apprentices are nothing special.

Chen Ning gave a soft shout.

A dazzling Sword-Ray bloomed.

Chen Ning gained a lot from his battle with Li Xuanjun, the leader of Ten Thousand Swords Valley, and developed new insights into the Sword Dao.

The Sword Intent surged forth.

The entire world paled in comparison.

The sun and moon have lost their light.

It was as if this entire world was now only left with this single, breathtaking brilliance.

The killing moves unleashed by the five men were all shattered by this sharp edge.

Even.

They also looked fearful.

They can barely save themselves.

In the blink of an eye, three people perished under this overwhelming force.

At last.

Chu Hengkong let out a low roar, and a monstrous black light swept out, blocking Chen Ning's powerful Sword Intent.

He saved his two apprentices.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

He remained lost in thought for a long time.

With only Early-Stage Saint King level, he fought against five Saint King Late Stage, killing three of them in the blink of an eye. In fact, if that Late Saint Emperor hadn't intervened, he could have killed all five of them.

This young man is absolutely terrifying.

Tonight's trip was definitely worth it.

First, he witnessed the birth of a legendary figure in the Sin Domain and the theft of the Pirate Emperor's treasure.

At this time.

And here I am again, witnessing such an unparalleled genius, a prodigy unlike any other in history.

This made them feel a sense of loneliness.

"Chen Ning, you are truly amazing. I will kill you, even if it incurs divine retribution, I will defy the heavens!"

Given Chu Hengkong's level and seniority...

They naturally knew what burdens Chen Ning would bear after defeating the Divine Son of Kunlun.

Execute Chen Ning.

It is to oppose the will of the Vast Land world.

But just as he said, even so, Chen Ning must be killed.

Otherwise.

Given this child's temperament, we await his attainment of the Supreme position.

The Darkness God Clan will surely perish.

Chen Ning was also quite surprised at this moment, as the sword strike he had just unleashed actually resonated with the rhythm of heaven and earth.

Its power is doubled.

But.

However, it was still not enough to defeat Chu Hengkong.

The difference in their levels of understanding was too great.

One was just beginning to become Saint King, while the other was an ancient relic who had remained in the Late Saint Emperor for countless years.

And at this time...

After defeating Sui Qingshan once again, the Pirate Emperor looked over and shouted, "You have a grudge against this man, and I also have a grudge against the person he saved. We should join forces. As long as you can keep the person who stole my treasure here, I will owe you a favor."

In response to the words of the Pirate Emperor.

Chu Hengkong only spoke in a hoarse voice, "Who do you think you are, daring to join forces with me?"

He came today only to kill Chen Ning; everything else is none of his business.

"You're being far too arrogant..."

The Pirate Emperor's pupils contracted, his rage reaching its peak.

But before he could say anything more, Sui Qingshan's figure rushed towards him once again.
