The air suddenly became quiet.
I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a century.
"Gudong."
A clear sound of swallowing broke the frozen scene.
Immediately afterwards, there were heavy breathings one after another.
Survived...
They actually survived!
This thought ran through every survivor's mind like an electric current, causing violent tremors for the rest of their lives.
"Just now... just now... what was that?" A casual cultivator asked in a sleepy tone, his voice dry and hoarse.
"A gun... a wooden gun..." the person next to him answered mechanically, his eyes still looking blankly at the sky.
"It's seconds...Thunder Cloud Eagle King... It's just seconds?"
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"If this is a dream, it's too damn real..."
Tan Lingfei held the broken knife and struggled to stand up, but his legs weakened and he fell back to the ground.
Apart from the blood stains on his face, there was only unspeakable shock and awe.
Too strong.
Too strong to be unreasonable.
It was so strong that it was beyond his ability to understand.
That is simply not a power that a professional warrior can possess!
As the captain of Void-Breaker Squad, and as one of the people with the highest cultivation level present, he knows better than anyone else how pure and terrifying Destruction Law was contained in that shot just now!
The same was true for Zhou Li. His body froze in place and his mind went blank.
Just when everyone was still immersed in the huge impact and unable to extricate themselves.
A soft sound of footsteps came from the forest not far away.
"Sand... sand..."
The voice was very soft, but in the dead silence of the battlefield, it seemed particularly clear.
Everyone suddenly trembled, tensed their nerves instantly, and turned their heads to look!
Could it be...
Is that mysterious strong man showing up?!
Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes mixed with excitement and curiosity, several figures slowly walked out of the shadows of the woods.
The leader is a young man.
A young man who looked to be no more than twenty years old.
He was wearing an ordinary gray suit, with a tall and tall figure and an extremely handsome face.
His expression was as indifferent as if he just went out for a walk instead of casually killing a quasi-Beast Emperor.
Behind him, there were three figures.
They are the three siblings Qiu Yashuang!
The moment he saw the person clearly, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence again.
Everyone's expressions were frozen.
That... young man?
Is it him?
As soon as this idea came up, they killed it themselves.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How could such a young warrior possess such powerful means?
This is even more ridiculous than Beast Emperor being killed instantly with one shot!
But...
The wooden gun flew away in this direction.
And this young man appeared from this direction at exactly this time.
Coincidence?
How can there be so many coincidences in the world!
"It's him... it must be him!"
"Oh my god! He is so young... what kind of cultivation level is he? Professional Rank 9? Or... a master?!"
"Impossible! A grandmaster in his twenties? Even Imperial Martial University's mentor is not so outrageous!"
"But tell me, besides the Grandmaster, who else can it be?"
The whispers spread like a plague, and everyone looked at the young man as if they were looking at an ancient ferocious beast wearing human skin.
Awe, fear, dare not look directly.
Druck secretly whispered to Chen Kefa, "This is so awesome!"
"... Hmm." Chen Kefa's expression was a little weird. Why did he always feel that this young man looked familiar?
Have they met somewhere?
However, in this awe-inspiring atmosphere, a discordant roar filled with rage suddenly exploded!
"Why are you here, kid???"
It's Zhou Li!
I saw his blood-stained face and red eyes, staring at Chen Yan who was walking slowly...
There was no trace of gratitude in his eyes, only overwhelming anger!
He struggled to get up from the ground, like an enraged lion, and rushed towards Chen Yan.
"Didn't I ask you to take him to Jiang City?!"
"You promised me!"
"Why are you here! Why did you bring them to this hellish place to die!!!"
Zhou Li's roar echoed in everyone's ears, making everyone stunned.
What's going on?
A lifesaver?
A brat who doesn't keep his word?
How could these two titles be attached to the same person?
Zhou Li's question immediately confused the people next to him.
Everyone looked at each other, their minds completely lost.
This... what is this doing?
Angry at your savior?
Zhou Li Leader was injured too seriously and is his mind confused?
Chen Yan stopped and looked quietly at Zhou Li, who was rushing towards him, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was not the target of his roar.
The three Qiu Family siblings behind him were so frightened by Zhou Li's ferocious appearance that their faces turned pale and they subconsciously hid behind Chen Yan.
"How dare you hide!"
When Zhou Li saw this scene, he was even more furious. He tried his best to stretch out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and tried to grab Chen Yan's collar.
He needs to ask this little bastard, is the promise worthless in his eyes?
However, he overestimated his physical condition.
The outstretched hand hung down feebly half a meter away from Chen Yan.
"Plop!"
Zhou Li's legs went weak and he was about to fall down.
"Captain!"
"Mr. Zhou!"
Tan Lingfei and others were shocked and rushed to help him.
"Let me go!" Zhou Li roared, struggling hard, "I have to kill this untrustworthy boy today!"
"Captain! Calm down! You are too seriously injured!" The warrior Windless Mercenary Group hugged his arm tightly, sweating profusely.
He couldn't understand at all why the leader was so hostile to this person.
That's an existence that can instantly kill Beast Emperor with one shot!

Not to mention that the leader is not in good condition right now, even if he is in his prime, he will definitely not be able to compete with others!
"Yes, Captain, calm down first!" Another Windless Mercenary Group warrior with a broken arm also quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
He glanced at Chen Yan, who looked indifferent, and his heart was pounding, fearing that if the young man was unhappy, he would "purify" them too.
He swallowed, leaned close to Zhou Li's ear, and lowered his voice. "Captain, okay! Don't get excited yet!"
"Without him, whether we can survive Thunder Cloud Eagle King now is another question!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"All of our lives were saved by this little brother!"
"No matter what misunderstanding there is, you can't do this to your savior!"
The mercenaries around him were all trying to persuade him.
Other local casual cultivators around him, although they did not dare to get too close, nodded in agreement.
"Captain Zhou, this little hero saved us all, you are..."
"Yeah, is there anything you can't say properly?"
The truth is this.
Simple, crude, and irrefutable.
Zhou Li's struggle gradually stopped.
The words of persuasion were like cold water, dousing the anger in his heart little by little, but also made him fall into deeper pain and contradiction.
He slowly raised his head, glanced at the headless body that was so huge that it made people feel palpitating, and then looked at the faces around him that were surviving the disaster.
Finally, his eyes fell on the young man who had been extremely calm from beginning to end.
Yes.
He saved everyone.
However, he also broke his promise.
Zhou Li opened his mouth, as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
The entire battlefield fell into unspeakable silence again.
Everyone's eyes are focused on the center of the storm - Chen Yan.
Waiting for his explanation.
Chen Yan finally spoke.
The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"That, Uncle Zhou..."
"I promise you that I will ensure their safety."
He paused, looked into Zhou Li's eyes, and said word by word:
"But... I found that the safest place is next to me!"
Zhou Li raised his head suddenly, he wanted to refute, wanted to roar.
But when he saw Chen Yan's eyes, all his words were stuck in his throat.
Yes.
Thunder Cloud Eagle King is dead.
He was killed instantly with one shot.
The most powerful threat in this area has been eliminated.
So for three children who are new to martial arts, isn't it the safest thing to follow a terrifying being who can instantly kill Beast Emperor?
This logic...
Damn... I can't refute it!
"Pfft."
I didn't know who it was, so I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Time goes back to a moment ago.
On a cliff several miles away from the battlefield.
Chen Yan's gaze penetrated the layers of clouds and mist, and accurately locked onto the center of the chaotic battlefield.
The arrogant Thunder Cloud Eagle King is now preparing to unleash his final madness.
"That's it now."
Chen Yan's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife.
He used all the chaos True Essence in his body to stimulate his energy and blood to the extreme.
The muscles of the arms instantly rose, the veins entangled like dragons and snakes, and an explosive force was transmitted from the waist and abdomen to the arms, and then poured into the fingertips!
"Go."
One word came out of his mouth softly.
The wooden spear in his hand disappeared without making a single sound.
It's like it never existed.
The next moment.
In the distant sky, Thunder Cloud Eagle King's right wing exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Next, is its head.
A system prompt sounded in Chen Yan's mind.
[You defeated the strong with the weak and killed Thunder Cloud Eagle King across levels! Obtained the achievement 'Blade Against the Strong' (purple achievement)!]
Chen Yan's mouth corners were slightly raised.
Coming!
With a thought in his mind, he immediately opened the panel.
A brand new badge exuding a strange purple light was lying quietly at the top of the achievement bar.
[Blade Against the Strong (Purple Achievement)]: After wearing it, when the cultivation level of your attack target is higher than yours, the final damage you cause to it will be additionally improved.
[Current improvement rate: 10%]
[When the host kills a powerful enemy with a higher cultivation level than itself, it can accumulate achievement experience and unlock the achievement "Blade Against the Strong" (gold) 1/10000]
[Are you wearing it?]
10% final damage increase!
Chen Yan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he silently said "yes".
This is definitely a magical skill!
In the later stages of martial arts, the gap in realm becomes as big as a natural chasm.
Going beyond the level challenge is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But this achievement gave him a sharp blade that could cut through the chasm!
Although it is only 10% initially, it is obvious that this is a "growth" achievement, which means that its upper limit is much higher than that!
As long as you keep killing enemies that are stronger than yourself, this increase will keep rising!
15%, 20%, or even 50%!
By that time, the so-called realm barriers will be in vain in front of him!
"Huh..."
Chen Yan took out a long breath to calm down the excitement in his heart.
He withdrew the wooden gun that flew back to his hand automatically.
This gun was actually transformed by Myriad Phenomena Painting Brush after his Myriad Image Painting Heart skill breakthrough, and can change its shape according to Chen Yan's will.
After it has been baptized by Chaos Qi, it contains a trace of the most original law of "destruction".
To put it bluntly, it means ignoring defense, and you will die if you touch it.
Of course, this is when the gap in strength is not big...
"Brother Yan..."
Qiu Jiu's timid voice came from behind.
Chen Yan turned around and saw the three siblings looking in the direction of the battlefield in the distance with worried faces.
"Uncle Zhou, will they... be okay?" Qiu Yashuang's clear face was full of worry, and she clenched her fists and asked nervously.
Chen Yan's eyes became a little softer.
He touched Qiu Yashuang's head and said calmly, "It's okay."
He raised his eyes and looked at the battlefield that had quieted down.
"Let's go and have a look."
