Before their eyes was Chen Wen, floating in midair.
At this moment, Chen Wen was wrapped in ten thousand zhang of Black Lightning, his aura soaring to the heavens as the space around him warped without end.
He looked like a killing god returned from hell.
He really hadn't died.
This... how was that possible?!
Once they clearly saw Chen Wen's appearance, the shock on everyone's faces deepened.
Lou Lan Shengxue froze abruptly, her face filled with disbelief.
Even she had thought just moments ago that Chen Wen was certainly dead.
"Master, it's him! He's the one who wanted to kill your disciple!"
Mu Jiuzhou pointed at Chen Wen and let out a cold, vicious roar.
Mu Chongyun ignored Mu Jiuzhou and directly fixed his gaze on Chen Wen.
Second level Heavenly Human Realm.
His aura was incomparably deep and boundless.
He looked extraordinary, possessing a unique bearing of his own.
Other than his realm differing somewhat from what Mu Jiuzhou had said, nothing else was too far off.
No wonder he could defeat Jiuzhou. He truly had the capital to do so.
In merely a few breaths, Mu Chongyun had formed an initial judgment of Chen Wen.
Clearly, Chen Wen had already completed his breakthrough with the backlash of power from the Heavy Thunder Pearl.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, those nineteen experts had already arrived at the scene.
At once, they found their respective disciples.
After learning the cause of the matter, they were just as shocked and just as unwilling to believe it as Mu Chongyun.
Their disciples were renowned geniuses, whether within their respective factions or across the entire Ancient Yuan Realm.
Yet they had been trampled beneath the feet of a mere Heavenly Human Realm brat, forced in the end to beg them for help.
Every part of it sounded absurd.
Yet it had truly happened.
There were now two very real matters before them.
First was Chen Wen's origin.
They did not believe that someone with no background could possess such strength.
Second, where had the Gravity Heavenly Thunder Array in the air gone? Had he taken it away?
If he truly had taken it, they would not mind leaving Chen Wen here for good.
Even if Chen Wen's background was formidable.
They refused to believe that the people behind Chen Wen could offend all twenty of their factions at once.
For a time, countless thoughts flashed through their minds, and they came to a preliminary decision.
Seeing the strange atmosphere at the scene, a Great Elder of the Beast God Sect spoke up. "I am Zhao Hong, Great Elder of the Beast God Sect. Greetings, Elder Mu."
In the eyes of these people, Mu Chongyun was among the very best in both status and strength.
Thus, it was only natural for Mu Chongyun to handle everything.
"So it is Brother Zhao. My respects." Mu Chongyun promptly returned the salute.
"How should we handle this? We will listen to you," Zhao Hong said.
The others said nothing, but they clearly acquiesced to this decision.
A glint flashed through Mu Chongyun's eyes before he spoke. "Since everyone trusts this old man so much, then I shall presume to take charge this once."
As he spoke, he looked up at Chen Wen. "I am Mu Chongyun, an elder of the Hidden Ancient Clan. May I ask which faction this young friend comes from?"
Chen Wen curled his lips.
Mu Chongyun being able to suppress his fury so quickly was indeed beyond his expectations.
But Chen Wen had no intention of indulging them.
"What the hell are you? You think you're worthy of asking about my identity?" Chen Wen said lazily.
Mu Chongyun's expression darkened. "Brat, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
"You're already a dead man. Why do you have so much bullshit to say?"
Chen Wen lifted his eyelids, then spat coldly, "An elder of the Hidden Ancient Clan, yet you're nothing but an embarrassment."
"You little bastard, you're courting death!"
Mu Chongyun's fury instantly surged to the skies. He reached toward Chen Wen with one hand, Nirvana Power raging forth and piercing through layer upon layer of space.
Good, good, good! Kill him! Kill him for me!
Seeing his master make a move, Mu Jiuzhou immediately grew agitated, looking somewhat crazed.
He refused to believe that no matter how strong Chen Wen was, he could be stronger than his master.
As long as Chen Wen died, he would still be Qingzhou's First Person.
And who would dare spread word of the humiliation Chen Wen had inflicted upon him?
Heavy Thunder Slash!
Chen Wen slightly raised his eyelids and grabbed with one hand.
Countless strands of Black Lightning gathered, forming an enormous Heavy Thunder sword as endless violent, destructive auras surged through the air.
It looked terrifying beyond compare.
Slash!
As Chen Wen spat out the word coldly, he swung his sword down.
Sword Qi stretched ten thousand zhang, Heavy Thunder without an edge.
Bang!
Under that single sword strike, the power in Mu Chongyun's hand was blocked just like that.
At the same time, Mu Chongyun was sent violently retreating, each step beneath his feet blasting a massive crater into the ground.
How was this possible?!
Mu Chongyun's pupils trembled violently. The pain radiating from his hand reminded him that he had been forced back in that exchange.
A sixth-level Heavenly King Realm expert like him had actually been forced back.
Not long ago, Jiang Taichu blocking his aura attack had already been unacceptable to him.
But now, his attack had not merely been blocked—it had directly been driven back.
And the one who drove him back was a mere second-level Heavenly Human Realm cultivator.
It made him feel as though his entire worldview had collapsed.
How was this possible?!
Zhao Hong and the others from the various factions were equally stunned.
This was their first time seeing Chen Wen make a move.
Yet they had never imagined that Chen Wen could be this powerful.
If they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator could force back a Heavenly King Realm expert head-on.
There were three entire major realms between them.
Chen Wen, on the other hand, was sent violently retreating, every step crushing the ground beneath his feet into pieces.
In the end, Chen Wen could no longer hold it in. Nine-colored waves of light burst around him, while his black hair flew wildly.
Sure enough, facing a Heavenly King Realm expert was still too much of a stretch.
Chen Wen forcefully suppressed the surging blood and Qi within him, his eyes turning ice-cold.
In an instant, Chen Wen moved again, turning into what seemed like a streak of lightning and vanishing from midair in the blink of an eye.
When he appeared again, he was already before Mu Jiuzhou.
Mu Jiuzhou was no longer as crazed as before. He stared blankly at everything before him.
"Kept you waiting, didn't I? I'm here to send you on your way," Chen Wen's voice drifted out leisurely.
Mu Jiuzhou's entire body stiffened, his pupils involuntarily widening.
The moment he saw Chen Wen, he urgently roared, "Master, save me! Save me!"
"How dare you!!!"
Mu Chongyun bellowed and stepped forward. The power within him surged forth like a great wave.
In an instant, ten thousand zhang waves erupted all around, while the ground exploded section by section into white dust that filled the sky.
Chen Wen reached out with one hand and seized the already terrified Mu Jiuzhou.
Facing the incoming attack, he did not retreat in the slightest. Holding Mu Jiuzhou, he pressed out with his other hand.
An unmatched force took shape. Nine-Colored Sequence Power transformed into shackles that spanned heaven and earth, blasting forth.
Boom!
Under that collision of attacks—
Mu Jiuzhou was blasted into a sky full of blood mist.
Chen Wen, meanwhile, was directly sent flying backward.
Mu Chongyun, on the other hand, stood there blankly.
Because his disciple had died right before his eyes, and had died by his own hand.
Silence.
The scene instantly fell into deathly silence.
On one hand, they were shocked by Mu Jiuzhou's death. On the other, they were shocked by Chen Wen's strength.
Mu Chongyun had absolutely not held back in that attack just now.
Yet what was the result? Chen Wen had merely been sent flying, without even the slightest injury.
It could only be called utterly outrageous.
"You little bastard, I'll kill you!"
After a brief stunned silence, Mu Chongyun suddenly shot into the air, his Killing Intent boiling to the heavens.
