"Kid, how do you want to die?"
As he spoke, Ximen Zhantian's voice turned icy in an instant, cold Killing Intent surging in his eyes.
Seeing Ximen Zhantian make the first move, Mu Jiuzhou did not press the issue any further.
He knew exactly how strong Ximen Zhantian was.
This was the perfect chance to see just how strong Chen Wen was when he fought head-on.
The other talented disciples also sneered at Chen Wen, their lofty, superior airs displayed to the fullest.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Chen Wen moved. With a swift dash, he vanished from where he stood.
Not good.
Ximen Zhantian and Mu Jiuzhou's expressions changed drastically at the same time.
As for the other talented disciples, they had not even reacted yet.
When Chen Wen appeared again, one hand was already pressing down toward where Ximen Zhantian stood.
Chaos Heaven-Crossing Hand!!!
His hand blotted out the sky and covered the earth, Chaos Power spreading from his palm as the momentum of a million heaven-crossing forces awakened and roared.
As it descended, space burst apart, and incomparably terrifying power swept outward in every direction.
A nine-colored shockwave could be seen spreading out, forming its own domain, while Mu Jiuzhou and the others were violently blasted away.
"You... how is this possible?!"
Ximen Zhantian was instantly seized by utter terror.
Because the power crushing down in that instant had pulverized all of his protective astral force.
Even the power surging within his body was forcibly pressed back at that moment, crashing wildly through him.
The next moment, the palm fell, slapping straight toward Ximen Zhantian's head.
"No..."
In his terror, Ximen Zhantian hastily activated the Nine-Sun Body. Heavenly Sun Power around him erupted like blazing suns, bursting forth with radiance that stretched ten thousand zhang.
Wave after wave of vast divine-body light continuously struck the descending Heaven-Crossing Hand, seeking to block the attack.
Pfft.
Those vast rays of light were slapped into explosions of light, and the unmatched power poured down, crushing through Ximen Zhantian's body.
How could it be this strong?!
Ximen Zhantian felt death drawing near and roared repeatedly, "I am a disciple of the Hidden Ancient Clan! Do you dare kill me?"
Chen Wen remained utterly unmoved, directly slapping one hand onto Ximen Zhantian's head.
Boom!
Ximen Zhantian exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Even the ground was sunk by that palm, revealing a palm-shaped crater.
Silence. The surroundings fell into dead silence once more.
Every cultivator present wore a look of shock and horror.
One palm.
A First Heavenly Human Realm cultivator had slapped a Third Rebirth Life and Death Realm genius to death with a single palm.
And he had not even had the strength left to resist.
This was far too outrageous!!!
"Even an Emperor's son, I'd still take him down. What the hell are you?"
Chen Wen calmly withdrew his hand, his indifferent voice ringing through the deathly silent surroundings.
Yet even so, not a single person dared speak up in objection.
Chen Wen, who had slapped Ximen Zhantian to death with one palm, had that kind of capital.
"So strong." Lou Lan Lü'er could not help crying out.
He really was strong.
Lou Lan Shengxue drew a deep breath, and the way she looked at Chen Wen changed once again.
How was this possible?!
Zhao Feng noticed this as well and involuntarily stopped what he was doing.
Slapping Ximen Zhantian to death with a single palm was something he simply could not accept.
Originally, they had believed that Ximen Zhantian and the others alone would be enough to kill Chen Wen.
They only needed to keep Jiang Taichu tied down.
But now, it seemed they had all vastly underestimated Chen Wen.
"Hahaha, what are you looking at? This is only the beginning. Just wait—all of them will die."
When Jiang Taichu saw Zhao Feng and Li Yundong's expressions drastically change, he immediately threw back his head and laughed.
Zhao Feng and Li Yundong's expressions turned even uglier.
Refining complete! Congratulations, you have obtained one portion of Green Destiny Nirvana Liquid! Congratulations, you have achieved a new accomplishment and obtained one Green Destiny Treasure Chest.
He was a little useless.
But hopefully the chest-opening reward would be decent.
The corner of Chen Wen's lips lifted slightly.
"And you? Do you want to ask me how I want to die?"
Chen Wen gathered his thoughts and raised his head to look at Mu Jiuzhou and the others, whose faces still bore traces of shock.
Mu Jiuzhou and the others' expressions instantly became incomparably ugly, yet they dared to be angry but did not dare speak.
To slap Ximen Zhantian to death with one palm, he could not possibly accomplish it unless he used his strongest methods.
But Chen Wen? Judging from the manner in which he had attacked, it was obvious that he had done so with ease.
Thus, no matter how resentful and stifled he felt, he had no choice but to acknowledge one fact.
When it came to individual strength alone, probably not a single one of them was Chen Wen's match.
The surrounding cultivators were once again shocked beyond measure when they saw this.
With just one simple sentence, he had suppressed over a hundred geniuses standing at the pinnacle of Qingzhou, making them not even dare let out a fart.
What was dominance?
This was it.
What was invincibility?
This was it.
"I thought you lofty geniuses had such great courage."
As he spoke, Chen Wen shook his head. "Turns out you're all trash that bullies the weak and fears the strong—eggs without balls."
Mu Jiuzhou clenched his teeth hard, his fists tightening and loosening, then loosening and tightening again.
Since emerging into the world, when had Mu Jiuzhou ever suffered such humiliation?
What was hateful was that he did not dare throw caution to the wind.
Chen Wen's gaze shifted again before landing on Mu Jiuzhou. "Why don't you come out and take one palm from me too? To be honest, I wasn't satisfied just now."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At once, everyone looked toward Mu Jiuzhou as though saying, Why not give it a try?
Mu Jiuzhou's mouth twitched repeatedly. He was completely numb.
What the hell are you all looking at?
Isn't my life a life too?
If you want to try it, you try it yourselves, damn it.
Mu Jiuzhou suppressed the fury in his heart and forcibly pulled out a smile. "Brother, you're making things difficult for me."
As he spoke, an idea suddenly surfaced in Mu Jiuzhou's mind. "If you truly aren't satisfied, brother, I do have a suggestion."
"Do you see that Thunder Domain Field above? Legend has it that it is a Gravity Heavenly Thunder Array transformed from the spirit of heaven and earth."
"As long as you merge its origin into your Sea of Consciousness, you will gain unimaginable power."
"This brother believes that, with Brother Ye's strength, you will surely be able to claim it."
"Oh, that is worth trying." Chen Wen nodded leisurely.
Whew.
Mu Jiuzhou quietly let out a breath of relief.
At the same time, he began sneering inwardly.
If this Gravity Heavenly Thunder Array were so easy to subdue, would it still be your turn?
Go on, go on. Once the two of you are both battered and broken, I'll be the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waits behind.
When that time comes, won't I be the greatest winner?
At that thought, Mu Jiuzhou suddenly did not hate Chen Wen quite so much anymore.
"But right now, I just feel like slapping you."
Just then, Chen Wen abruptly changed his tone, swinging one hand fiercely toward Mu Jiuzhou's face.
Mu Jiuzhou's expression changed wildly.
Chen Wen's sudden attack had caught him completely off guard.
When he tried to resist, Chen Wen's palm had already shattered his divine-body defenses and slammed heavily across his face.
Bang.
Mu Jiuzhou was sent flying by the slap, half his face directly smashed to a pulp.
"You dog bastard, you're courting death!"
In the blink of an eye, Mu Jiuzhou shot violently up from the ground.
The black mist around him erupted completely, while the Divine Demon Giant Shadow roared and bellowed.
The world was instantly dyed blood-black.
Slaughter, savagery, darkness, and countless other auras raged madly.
This...
Everyone was shaken as they watched it unfold.
It was their first time seeing Mu Jiuzhou attack. His strength was far greater than Zhao Tianlong's.
How would Chen Wen deal with the current Mu Jiuzhou?
Lou Lan Shengxue swept her gaze over Mu Jiuzhou before turning to Chen Wen.
