Instant Kill

"Everyone, this is Huaxia!"

Liu Feng's words rang across the sky.

At that moment, Chen Tianxin also slowly came to Liu Feng's side. At some point, he had taken a peach blossom petal between his fingers, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"Everyone, showing off your power here in my presence isn't a wise choice!"

With that, he gently tossed the petal in his hand.

Whoosh, whoosh~~

A commotion broke out. The peach blossom instantly scattered, forming a sea of flowers, each petal brimming with lethal intent!

"Minister Liu must be joking. How could we possibly act recklessly on Huaxia's turf?"

Gradually, the phantom of the Six-Winged Angel faded away, revealing a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was exceedingly handsome, and a smile played at the corner of his mouth.

"We meant no offense!"

The old man holding the iron hammer spoke in a deep voice as well.

His voice, however, boomed like muffled thunder, echoing across the sky.

"Behave yourselves, or you won't leave here alive!" Liu Feng slowly put away the Blade Case. In an instant, the blade energy between heaven and earth vanished, as if it had never appeared.

Only then did Liu Feng say coolly, "Please, go ahead!"

The old man and the middle-aged man both smiled faintly and followed the direction of Liu Feng's arm, slowly stepping through the air toward them.

Meanwhile, inside the ruins.

Yang Chen led the remaining eleven people deeper into the hills.

Along the way, Yang Chen had come under attack several times. Fortunately, the eleven people left were all fairly obedient, and the one person who hadn't been had already been removed from the group.

So, no one had been injured or killed!

After surviving several attacks, the strong members of the group had come to trust Yang Chen.

Although Yang Chen was still quite young, he was very good at spotting danger!

At least so far, no one had been injured or killed!

What's more, several of the attackers had possessed S-Class combat strength, yet Yang Chen had held them off and even killed them!

This had further strengthened Yang Chen's standing.

Now, with Yang Chen leading the twelve of them, they pressed forward at a slow pace.

After all, this was an unknown place where even Shackle Realm powerhouses risked death. They had to be careful.

Although this wasn't the core area, it was still dangerous.

Several of the attacks they'd faced earlier had involved enemies with S-Class combat strength. If Yang Chen hadn't been with the team, they might have been wiped out.

After all, there wasn't even a single peak A-Class powerhouse in the group!

Yang Chen and the others left the forest behind and had now entered the mountains.

The spiritual energy in the mountains was even denser than it had been when Yang Chen first entered this place. They could even make out droplets formed from spiritual energy here and there.

Droplets formed from the dense spiritual energy!

The sight made Yang Chen and the others' eyes burn with eagerness. They wished they could start cultivating right then and there.

But there was still one problem.

It was too dangerous!

They had no idea what to expect here. It was far too easy for something to go wrong.

"Keep moving!"

Yang Chen calmly surveyed his surroundings. This place bore some resemblance to White Tiger Mountain, where he'd been before, but there were still differences.

Yang Chen sensed several powerful auras circling nearby. They had to get out of there as soon as possible!

The others behind him nodded, then followed him onward.

But just then, something unexpected happened.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

The ground suddenly began to shake. Cracks spread across it like a spiderweb.

Yang Chen's body trembled slightly, and he shouted, "Spread out!"

But it was already too late.

The moment Yang Chen's voice rang out, a black centipede burst from the ground, twisting as it surged upward.

Its enormous body swept through the group in an instant.

Several B-Class ability users were struck by its massive body and spat out blood.

They were gravely injured in an instant!

Zhang Shilei and Kong Lingze reacted a little faster and dodged the centipede's sweeping attack. Then they rushed toward the injured B-Class powerhouses.

They were going to save them!

Yang Chen looked at the black centipede, his expression grim.

The centipede was an S-Class creature, even stronger than the Flying Tiger.

And it had dared to ambush him?

It was asking for death!

Fury appeared in Yang Chen's eyes.

Flames surged around him in an instant, making him seem like a lord of fire. They roared as if Yang Chen's anger had erupted.

"Die!"

Yang Chen suddenly swung his fist. The might of his Grandmaster Body erupted, and a powerful pressure instantly descended on the black centipede.

The pressure bore down on the centipede's body, and it let out a mournful cry.

It seemed to have encountered an opponent it couldn't possibly defeat.

Then Yang Chen's fist arrived in an instant!

His fist, carrying all his fury, slammed hard into the centipede's body.

Boom, boom!!!

Flames burst outward and, in the blink of an eye, engulfed the centipede's entire body, setting it ablaze.

Yang Chen's eyes shifted slightly.

Thunder exploded. Fine arcs of lightning surged from the black centipede's wounds, coursing through its entire body.

Then they erupted all at once!

"Hiss!"

Death clouded the centipede's tiny eyes.

Then it crashed heavily to the ground, its life force gone.

The S-Class centipede had fallen!

Under the horrified gazes of the Number 98 ability users, Yang Chen had killed it in an instant!

"Th-this..."

One of the powerhouses swallowed hard and stared, stammering, at the centipede's motionless corpse.

They'd been struck by the centipede themselves, so they knew better than anyone how powerful it was. Its physical strength alone had nearly killed them. And yet a creature like that had been killed instantly by Yang Chen?

That was terrifying!

At that moment, Zhang Shilei's eyes flickered. He gave the group of B-Class powerhouses a knowing smile and said, "Everyone, I know some of you have been unhappy with our captain for a long time!"

As he spoke, he shot Kong Lingze a pointed glance.

Kong Lingze furrowed his brow slightly but didn't say anything.

Yang Chen's display had startled him too.

Yang Chen shook out his arm and glanced over at Zhang Shilei. He smiled, then put the centipede's inner core into his Space Ring.

Then he said,

"Enough. Let's keep going. This place is getting dangerous!"

"Yes!"
