Today I Finally Knew Who I Was!

Compared to the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall, he would actually rather run into people from the Crimson Tide.

The Myriad Spirits Holy Hall had cast aside their human identities and fused Fierce Beast bloodlines into themselves, making them outcasts everyone wanted dead.

But there was no denying that it really did make them stronger.

Especially in the early stages of Martial Artist cultivation. Thanks to the stronger physiques of Fierce Beasts, Martial Artists from the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall were a little stronger than ordinary Martial Artists at the same realm.

But he'd heard that in the later realms, those Fierce Beast bloodlines would instead become a shackle, leaving them weaker than Martial Artists of the same realm.

Of course, he'd only heard that was the case. As a nobody who hadn't even reached the Star Vein Realm, he naturally had no idea what the truth was.

"Kid, you killed my Yuan'er and Yi'er. Today, I'll make you join them in the grave!"

"But don't worry. I won't let you die that easily. I'll make you suffer the cruelest tortures this world has to offer before you die in agony!"

"By the time I'm done, you'll find that death itself would be a relief!"

"Yuan'er? Yi'er?"

Qin Chen repeated the names without thinking, but then his brows drew together.

"He Yi was your son?!"

"Wasn't his father He Wu?"

Qin Chen was dumbfounded.

What the hell?!

"He Wu is my younger brother!"

"He was only Yuan'er's husband in name. I'm her real husband!"

(⊙o⊙)...

Qin Chen's mouth fell open slightly. After a long moment, he finally managed to say:

"You guys... sure know how to have fun!"

"Enough nonsense!"

"You took away my beloved and my happiness. I'm going to kill you!"

He Wen suddenly roared. He bent his knees, the thick muscles in his legs bulging beneath his skin.

He kicked off hard and shot forward. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Qin Chen, his razor-sharp claws swiping viciously at him.

"So fast!"

Qin Chen's pupils contracted sharply. He desperately circulated the Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps and barely dodged just before the claws could touch him.

The razor-sharp force of the blow whooshed past his face, carving a bloody gash into his skin.

But before he could do anything else, he suddenly saw one of He Wen's feet in front of him. He hadn't even noticed when it had gotten there.

A muffled thud rang out, and Qin Chen's body went flying.

The tremendous force exploded against his chest, making him spit out a mouthful of blood.

He flew dozens of meters before slamming heavily into the ground.

Before he could get back up, He Wen suddenly appeared in front of him, his sharp claws stabbing down at him once more.

Qin Chen's eyes widened, and he rolled hard to the side.

BOOM—

The claws struck the hard ground, blasting a crater into it. Countless fragments of stone flew in every direction.

Qin Chen immediately got to his feet and retreated a long way, his expression grave.

"Is the gap really this huge?"

"What did you expect, kid?"

"I'm a Sound Listener Envoy of the Sacred Hall. Someone like you, a little brat who only awakened recently, can't hold a candle to me!"

"So there's no point struggling in vain anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Wen gave a low shout.

"Holy Descent!"

The next second, the muscles all over his body swelled, and his frame grew larger and larger. His clothes grew tighter and tighter against him.

RIIIP!

At last, just like He Wu before him, He Wen unleashed the signature clothes-bursting art passed down through the He Clan.

Strips of fabric burst apart, revealing a hulking, hairy body beneath.

"Do you see it? This is the true meaning of evolution! This is the power the Beast God bestowed upon me!"

He Wen laughed loudly.

By now, he had become a monster with a human head and the body of a beast.

His eyes were bloodshot, and an incredibly savage aura radiated from him.

Waves of air rolled off his body, making Qin Chen's clothes rustle.

A bead of sweat trickled down Qin Chen's forehead. The overwhelming pressure radiating from He Wen made his body feel heavy.

The next moment, He Wen shot forward again, even faster than before.

Qin Chen desperately worked the Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps. Just as He Wen's claws were about to reach him, he dodged to the side, gripped his battle saber, and roared:

"Shake Mountains Destroy Cities!"

A blade of light, so fierce it could not be fiercer, burst forth and slashed viciously toward He Wen.

The fur all over He Wen's body bristled. A trace of shock flashed in his pupils. He had actually felt a hint of threat from that slash.

It wasn't deadly, but it meant the blow could hurt him.

He had to remember that after his Holy Descent, his defense had increased immensely. And yet this kid could still make him feel threatened.

He really was a monster of a genius!

At the thought, He Wen's killing intent toward Qin Chen grew even stronger.

He swung a claw to meet Qin Chen's blade.

The clash of metal rang out. Sparks flew in an instant, and a wave of air spread outward from the two of them.

They remained locked together for several seconds. Then He Wen suddenly exerted his strength a second time, and Qin Chen's attack was instantly broken. He Wen knocked him flying with a single swipe of his claw.

PFFT!

Qin Chen spat out another large mouthful of blood. The tremendous force sent him hurtling backward.

He flew dozens of meters before crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out yet another mouthful of blood.

At that moment, Qin Chen felt as if his whole body were about to fall apart. Pain flooded every part of him, relentlessly assaulting his mind.

Qin Chen struggled to sit up. Looking at He Wen slowly approaching from not far away, he couldn't help cursing under his breath:

"Can't those people from the Law Enforcement Bureau get here any faster?!"

They'd caused such a huge commotion. There was no way nobody had notified the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Several minutes had passed already, and they still hadn't arrived!

Looks like he'd have to save himself for now!

At that thought, Qin Chen called out to He Wen:

"Wait! If I'm willing to join the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall, would you let me go?"

"Oh?!"

He Wen didn't stop, but a mocking glint flashed in his eyes.

"You want to join our Sacred Hall?"

"That's right!"

Qin Chen nodded and got to his feet.

"All the chains once bound my true self; today, I finally know who I am!"

"Only after meeting you, big brother, did I realize that the path I used to cultivate was wrong!"

"I want to become as strong as you. I want the power bestowed by the Beast God too!"

As he spoke, Qin Chen's eyes burned with boundless fervor, as though he truly worshipped the Beast God with all his heart.

"Mm! Good! You've got a lot of insight!"

He Wen couldn't help nodding.

"Even though I know you're just stalling for time, I can't help but praise you!"

"Putting everything else aside, you've really got the words down!"

"But... your acting still needs work!"

A cold gleam flashed in He Yi's eyes. He suddenly shot forward, his claws tearing through the air as he attacked Qin Chen once more.

It didn't matter that Qin Chen had no intention of truly joining their Sacred Hall. Even if he genuinely wanted to join, He Yi still wouldn't let him go.

With Qin Chen's monstrous talent, if he really joined the Sacred Hall and rose to prominence, He Yi couldn't be sure he wouldn't come back to kill him.

Besides, He Yi wasn't about to put the interests of the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall above his own hatred.

Qin Chen had to die!
