"Tang San! You sanctimonious hypocrite, righteous in word and rotten to the core! Today, we're settling every last score!"
Qin Chuan was furious.
After a fierce struggle, Flender and Zhao Wuji managed to stop him.
With the powerful Scarlet King, whose depths were unknown, holding back and not making a move, no one thought Qin Chuan could turn the tide of battle.
Liu An and Ma Hongjun even thought the Scarlet King might just be an attendant. What could he do if he had no strength to begin with?
"Hmph. You think you can make me back down? Keep dreaming." Blood surged from Qin Chuan, misty light blossoming around him as killing intent filled the air.
So what if they were Soul Saints or Soul Douluo?
He, Qin Chuan, wasn't someone others could bully at will. Tang San had framed him again and again, trying to put him in his grave. He'd long since decided to kill him.
Rolling waves of blood energy enveloped the area, blazing fiercely, terrifying and perilous. Even Flender felt a hint of danger.
"Where did this brat come from? With tricks like these, he doesn't seem like a Soul Master at all," Flender cursed inwardly as he flew over the trees, shaken.
Zhao Wuji unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar. With his thick hide and sturdy frame, he stood in front like a wall of flesh, while Flender circled overhead, watching for an opening.
One in the sky, one on the ground!
A Soul Douluo and a top-tier Soul Saint worked together in perfect unison. Shrek's two powerhouses encircled Qin Chuan, sealing off every route of advance or retreat!
"He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! He's got a little talent and can't even see how strong he is. He's just asking to die!" Yu Xiaogang said venomously.
A moment ago, Qin Chuan had humiliated him.
He no longer cared about any body-tempering technique. He just wanted this man dead!
But what Qin Chuan did next left him dumbfounded.
Boom!
The youth, who seemed like a god or demon, threw a punch like a falling meteor. It slammed into the Diamond Giant Bear, ripping open its flesh and sending blood spraying.
"Impossible!" Yu Xiaogang cried.
Zhao Wuji—this Soul Saint who had once put Qin Chuan under immense pressure—was no longer someone he took seriously.
But the Cat-Eagle, constantly watching and searching for an opening, was a threat, blocking his way forward.
One held the line head-on, while the other harried him from above!
Flender and Zhao Wuji had worked together for years, their offense and defense joining seamlessly. In an instant, they trapped all of Qin Chuan's attacks, leaving him unable to get even half a step closer to Tang San.
"But that's exactly what I want—you've all focused your attention on me!"
At last, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.
"Meteor Fall!"
He leaped high into the air and threw a heavy punch. It looked as though he were attacking the Cat-Eagle, and the terrible rush of air exploded, making its fur stand on end. It hurriedly dodged.
But just as everyone thought Qin Chuan's attack had missed and he was about to hit the ground, where the giant bear could attack him—
Qin Chuan instantly changed his assault. Endless starlight gathered at the tip of his right foot, a rain of stars descended, and he slammed it into the giant bear. A tremendous explosion rang out, its force shaking the heavens.
"Zhao Wuji!"
"Teacher Zhao!"
Everyone was stunned, shaken by Qin Chuan's audacious move. They could hardly believe it. What incredible courage!
After all, Flender dominated the sky.
When Qin Chuan feinted at Flender, Flender hadn't dodged. He had met the attack head-on.
With the strength of a Soul Douluo and the advantage of being airborne, Flender could very well have wounded Qin Chuan first. Then, once Qin Chuan landed, he would have had to endure a heavy blow from Zhao Wuji.
The battle would have ended right there.
And Qin Chuan had indeed been gambling, staking everything on one move. Even if things went as badly as possible, the Scarlet King would simply step in. That was why he'd chosen such a reckless approach.
Fortunately, he'd won the gamble. The Soul Douluo in the sky hadn't wanted to risk mutual destruction and had chosen to retreat, allowing Qin Chuan's plan to succeed.
That final blow had nearly blown Zhao Wuji's body apart. Though he hadn't died on the spot, he was gravely wounded and unconscious, covered in blood.
Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, in one fluid sequence. Flender hadn't even had time to react.
By the time he came to his senses, Zhao Wuji had already lost consciousness and fallen into Qin Chuan's hands.
"Zhao Wuji!" Flender hurriedly dived down, his wings beating as streaks of light flashed around him. He charged at Qin Chuan.
"I've been waiting for you." A faint smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face. Then he suddenly heaved Zhao Wuji toward a jagged boulder.
"Damn it!" Flender cursed. Countless thoughts raced through his mind, but in the end, he turned in midflight and chose to save Zhao Wuji.
"You hypocrite, die!" Qin Chuan turned and charged at Tang San. Blazing light burst forth, and terrifying Bloodline Power surged, scattering everyone in an instant.
"Run!" Everyone cried out in terror, horrified beyond belief. None dared face Qin Chuan head-on.
After all, apart from Flender and Zhao Wuji, Liu An was the strongest person here. Yet Qin Chuan had still taken him down with one blow, leaving him gravely wounded. How could the rest of them possibly stand a chance?
"Wait." Tang San's face was stricken with panic. He felt the true breath of death and shuddered from head to toe.
Even though he'd already died once, he was on the verge of having everything he'd ever wanted. He absolutely refused to die like this.
Seeing the fear on Tang San's face, Qin Chuan's expression didn't change. He'd made up his mind to cut this man down.
He threw a punch with a thousand jin of divine strength behind it, slamming into Tang San's abdomen. Tang San's face changed instantly, going from pale to livid.
Qin Chuan gave him no chance to react. His fists rained down like a shower of stars, one after another, swift as wind and lightning, sweeping across the sky.
In only a few breaths, more than a dozen punches had landed on Tang San, fast and fierce.
Tang San had no power to fight back in Qin Chuan's hands. He was like a fish on a chopping board, there for the slaughter.
If Tang San hadn't held the upper hand all along, borrowing others' strength to trap and kill Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan would have killed him several times over by now.
"I'll teach you to be so fake! So treacherous! So vicious! You—"
Qin Chuan cursed as he vented his rage, but his fists never slowed. They fell like a shower of stars, each one a crushing blow.
He still wasn't satisfied. He kicked Tang San back and forth like a ball, making everyone watch in terror, unable to bear looking.
How awful! It was simply too awful!
Tang San had gone too far before. Whenever he got the chance, he'd driven Qin Chuan toward death without holding anything back.
And with Tang San's father added to the mix, Qin Chuan had nearly died. If not for that Mysterious Seed, he wouldn't have had any chance to take revenge.
That was why Qin Chuan wasn't thinking about anything else now. Every punch carried the full force of his rage, striking like a falling star.
"You've got some nerve, daring to lay a hand on my son!"
At that moment, Qin Chuan suddenly froze all over. It was as if some terrible Ferocious Beast had fixed its gaze on him. His hair stood on end, and his hands stopped moving.
A cold, indifferent voice swept across the barren land and reached everyone's ears. It exploded like thunder, resounding through the sky.
"Finally... you're here!"
Hearing that voice, Flender—who had only just rescued Zhao Wuji—wore an extremely conflicted expression. There was respect in it, concern, and even a trace of fear.
"Heh." Qin Chuan smiled, his expression calm and unafraid as he raised his eyes toward the sky, churning with Soul Power.
After all those attacks, Tang San, who was only a Soul Ancestor, absolutely couldn't still be alive.
So, old man, you're too late!
