I actually knew about the differences between people a long time ago.
Tian Heng looked at the woman engulfed in flames before him, then at his own twisted muscles and broken knife, but his face remained calm.
He was used to it. He had been accustomed to the difference in bloodlines since he was still a low-level mountain tortoise. Even after he was fortunate enough to awaken the dragon blood in his bloodline, evolved himself, and became one of the dukes that countless warriors envied, he was still very clear about it.
He had merely jumped from one social class to another. Compared to the Xiao Household and the Lu Household, those top families that had been passed down for thousands of years, he was still no different from before; they were all prey.
"But so what if she's strong?" Tian Heng looked up at the imposing yet inexplicably immobile princess. "Even someone as powerful as the King of Qin perished back then, didn't he?"
Upon hearing this, the princess, who had remained calm until then, instantly turned cold. "You dare mention the King of Qin?"
With a loud bang, the golden flames surged, and the sword wounds on his body visibly healed. The injuries that Tian Heng had suffered at the cost of losing an arm were completely healed, leaving not even a scar.
"To be honest," Tian Heng said earnestly to the Princess, "I'm different from that guy Lu Ming. From the very beginning, I didn't really like the King of Qin!"
"You're not qualified either," the princess sneered, about to move again, but suddenly realized she still couldn't move.
What happened?
The princess's expression froze. Her meridians had indeed been injured by the opponent's sword energy, causing some numbness, but given her recovery ability, she shouldn't still be unable to move.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Shen Laowu shouted suddenly, "It's a spell!"
The princess suddenly looked at her meridians and realized that beneath the Golden Crow Fire, there were patches of cold air solidified in those areas. Although they were very subtle, the location of those acupoints prevented her flames from covering them for a short time.
This is
"I have long admired Her Highness the Eldest Princess's reputation, and seeing her today, I can attest to its well-deserved accolades."
A gentle female voice came from all directions, but upon closer inspection, one was surprised to find that a light mist had appeared around them!
This fog made it impossible for Shen Laowu, who was only a few meters away from her, to reach her side no matter what he did!
"So that's how it is." A cold glint flashed in the princess's eyes. So, from the very beginning, she was the target?
From the moment he wanted to behead that big man, he was set up; was he the one to be beheaded?
After glancing at the injury to her joints, the eldest princess looked around and said, " Princess White Jade? If I'm not mistaken, the one who sealed my acupoints was the Mystic Water Spell?"
"Your Highness is indeed intelligent!"
Tian Heng's swift sword combined with the poison of Mysterious Water, scheming against him from an unexpected position, was truly a brilliant move.
"Anything else?" The princess simply put her hands behind her back. "Let me see more?"
As you wish!
Bang bang bang.
The sound of countless ice blocks shattering echoed, and terrifying killing intent attacked from all directions. There were six figures, all dressed in black, whose very breath carried an icy chill. Almost instantly, they sealed off all the space around the princess. Their auras were so strong that each of them possessed an imposing presence no weaker than the princess's. Clearly, they were all Above First Rank rank!
Moreover, beneath those black bodies lurked a ferocious aura, carrying an extremely primal ferocity. One glance was enough to tell that these monsters were Above First Rank predators capable of devouring even martial artists of the highest rank!
In the distance, the Laoqi and the others, who witnessed this scene using their Thousand-Eye Technique, were startled and couldn't help but turn back to look at Chen Qing: " Princess White Jade has such a card?"
The plan was to isolate the eldest princess, the strongest fighter, and to carry out a decapitation operation with the greatest effort. However, no one thought that anyone could really kill the other. Princess White Jade never said what she had prepared, but no one expected that she would be able to bring out such a trump card at the last moment!
Those black companions, in terms of both aura and strength, seemed to be in no way inferior to the princess herself. Clearly, they had underestimated this person who had been keeping a low profile for some time.
Chen Qing looked at the black monsters and nodded slightly. " Princess White Jade is different from other Ancient Insect. No matter how powerful the other Ancient Insect ' followers are, they still need a powerful body to activate their power. This takes time. Even the top-tier followers who obtain the Duke's body need a certain amount of time to recover to their original ancient strength, at least half a year. But Baiyu is different. Her followers' bodies were prepared a thousand years ago!"
"A thousand years ago?" Shen Laoqi and the others were stunned. Then Shen Laoqi shook his head and said, "Impossible. According to you, these Ancient Insect relatives need a body, but they have not mastered the method of immortality. No matter how much the body mutates, its lifespan is still limited. My ancestor has done this experiment many times. Insect people have extremely short lifespans, even Ancient Insect. Otherwise, if those Ancient Insect had bodies a thousand years ago, why would they come to take the bodies of my Shen Family?"
"That's right," Chen Qing nodded.
The body has an expiration date!
The Ancient Insect that were suppressed back then, like Princess White Jade, Fusion the personalities of other people. What happened to their original bodies?
It's obvious. Once it's decayed, no body can remain intact for tens of thousands of years; if one could, it would be considered immortal.
All of the Ancient Insect's retinues resembled protozoa, and only a living body could activate these retinues. The Ancient Insect itself also needed the bodies of the Shen Family to activate its power.
"But Princess White Jade is different," Chen Qing said in a low voice. "She has mastered an ancient Xuanbing secret technique of the Dragon Palace, which can delay the decay and collapse of the body to a certain extent through freezing. This is why all the Ancient Insect have lost their previous bodies, but she has been able to maintain her body until now. If she can do it, her followers can naturally do it too."
"She froze her most outstanding followers ten thousand years ago, and the reason she was so eager to obtain Master Shen San's body is because Master Shen is a master of the Mysterious Water Technique. Only Master Shen's technique can safely unseal the frozen followers to the greatest extent possible."
"Therefore, while the most powerful familiars of other Ancient Insect are still hidden in their newest bodies to recover their strength, her familiars are already ready to be used!"
The Shen Family looked at each other blankly, shocked by these ancient secrets, and their expressions toward Chen Qing became somewhat strange.
The other party explained it in great detail, but wasn't it a bit too detailed?
It's just like seeing it with my own eyes!
This sounds like something they prepared secretly in private, right?
"How do you know so much?" It was the Laoshiyi who asked the question; the others, though silent, shared the same expression.
I'd also like to know.
A faint voice came from all directions. "Where did Mr. Chen learn these secrets?"
Upon hearing the sound, the Shen Family looked around warily.
If what Chen Qing said is true, then how many of those monsters that can be readily produced do they actually possess?
Even just those six would pose a huge threat to them now!
Baiyu, meanwhile, was secretly observing Chen Qing. She had long wanted to know where this little guy got all that information from.
The secret of her frozen companions was unknown even to the other Ancient Insect. It was practically her most closely guarded trump card, yet the other party could reveal it without batting an eye, making her feel as if she had been completely stripped naked!
Does this person know everything in the world?
She had a vague feeling that this guy might be even more of a threat than the one in the West Sea, if she could...
From a secluded spot, her gaze towards Chen Qing carried a hidden murderous intent!
"That's too leisurely," Chen Qing suddenly said, looking ahead.
"Huh?" The people around were stunned, not understanding Chen Qing's meaning for a moment.
Chen Qing's gaze was fixed on Shen Laowu's position. Although Shen Yinian was surprised by their plan, it was clear that there was no panic in his eyes. Facing the princess shrouded in mist, he did not seem to be that worried.
Upon observing this, Chen Qing frowned.
Princess White Jade frowned, and was about to speak when she suddenly sensed something. She then looked incredulously at the center of the mist!
Everyone seemed to sense something and looked up, including the Battle God of War Xu Hu who was in the middle of the battle. They were all drawn to the view by a strange feeling.
As everyone watched, the fog dissipated, releasing an incredibly strong stench of blood.
Before the scene even appeared on screen, Princess White Jade began to tremble all over!
She used the Mysterious Water Technique to force her way ashore with the waves, so she and her high-ranking companions are enveloped in a unique mist characteristic of the magic array. This mist will remain around her even now that she's outside the array, a kind of inertia of power. Under these circumstances, the mist generally won't disappear, unless...
The threat that the mist perceived has vanished!
Knock knock
Several heavy objects rolled on the ground, like iron balls hitting the earth, making one's heart pound.
As the mist dissipated, only one figure stood proudly.
Princess Xiao Mingyue's long, flowing black hair cascaded down her back, moving without wind. Behind her, a strong stench of blood assaulted her senses, even overpowering the battlefield where the fighting was taking place!
Clearly, the things that died here had a much greater amount of life force than ordinary living corpses.
They were those six pitch-black living corpses, the ones whose menacing aura alone had made Shen Laoqi and the others feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Their heads were twisted off at that moment!
In the arena of primordial beasts, only one victor remained.
Are there any other cards?
Xiao Mingyue casually tossed the last hideous head in her hand to the ground and glanced indifferently at the location of Chen Qing and his group within the magic array.
Despite the magic array blocking their vision and aura, it seemed the enemy had locked onto them immediately!
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines!
"Truly...!" Even Chen Qing couldn't help but swallow hard. "A veritable tyrant among men!"
