Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

Each one was enveloped in devastating stellar power, trailing long crimson flames, and crashed down on Su Chen.

The sheer scale of it was even more terrifying than the meteor shower that had just filled the sky.

Su Chen found it rather interesting.

I never expected that Old Deng actually had such a trick up his sleeve.

This move, Great Desolate Starfall, is clearly Wang Qiushan's trump card.

But the more this happened, the more opportunities it gave Su Chen.

Countless meteorites crashed down from the sky, completely obscuring the sunlight for a distance of two hundred miles.

The sea surface instantly turned dark.

It was this moment of obstructed vision.

Su Chen's spatial escape technique was quietly activated.

The technique of shrinking the earth to an inch was repeated twice, and the void beneath their feet folded and folded again.

At the same time, Su Chen completely concealed his aura.

Within three breaths, the dark figure completely disappeared from Wang Qiushan's consciousness.

Wang Qiushan felt a chill run down his spine.

Where are they?

Meteorites rained down from the sky, creating deep, bottomless craters in the sea.

But all that crashed down was seawater; there was no trace of Su Chen whatsoever.

A chill ran down Wang Qiushan's spine.

Too late.

Su Chen's figure had already appeared behind Wang Qiushan.

An antique jade pen was placed in Su Chen's hand.

Spring and Autumn Annals: A Record of Overcoming Adversity

At this moment, all of Su Chen's spiritual power was poured into the pen.

The power of the celestial tribulation flowed along the brush, merging with the power that tore through the void.

At the tip of the pen, a sharp edge emerges, sharp enough to crush everything.

Su Chen picked up his pen and swung it in mid-air.

The word "斩" (cut/slay) fell from nowhere.

That stroke contained the tyranny of heavenly tribulation and was wrapped in the tearing of the void.

The power was so terrifying that even Su Chen himself hadn't anticipated it.

Wang Qiushan underestimated his opponent.

He never expected that Su Chen not only possessed methods far exceeding those of the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

The jade pen in his hand was even more terrifying than his own Taiyi Taixu Divine Umbrella, one of the ten great secret treasures.

The instant the word "slash" was uttered.

Wang Qiushan's physical body, which was at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, along with his protective star power armor and all his flesh and blood, was completely torn to dust by that one stroke.

A heart-wrenching scream erupted from the pile of grayish-white powder.

A primordial spirit, in a sorry state, fled towards the sky.

Su Chen didn't even lift his eyelids.

With a flick of his sleeve, an ancient square seal flew out from his palm.

The seal spun in mid-air and suddenly expanded.

A colossal seal, as large as a mountain, appeared out of nowhere between the sea and the sky.

Nine purple lightning patterns intertwined and moved across the seal's surface.

That was the power of a heavenly tribulation.

The giant seal, enveloped in the destructive lightning tribulation, pressed down on the primordial spirit.

"Spare me!"

"Fellow Daoist Su, spare my life!"

The primordial spirit was firmly suppressed below by the giant seal, without even a chance to struggle.

"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"

"All my secret treasures, and that Taiyi Taixu Divine Umbrella, are yours for the taking!"

"I only beg you, fellow Daoist, spare my remnant soul!"

Su Chen's gaze fell on that primordial spirit, without the slightest ripple.

"It's too late."

A crimson power of heavenly tribulation poured down from the giant seal.

The pleading spirit, amidst the lightning, couldn't utter another cry.

Ashes.

Not a single crumb remained.

The sky brightened again.

The giant seal shrank to the size of a palm and floated back into Su Chen's palm.

From Su Chen's words, "Today I ask you to depart," to Wang Qiushan's complete death and annihilation.

In the blink of an eye, less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Above the boundless sea, all was silent.

Tens of thousands of streaks of light froze on the clouds, unable to recover for a long time.

The early stage of refining the void.

Before an incense stick could burn.

They killed an old monster in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

How...how is this possible?

"I...I didn't see wrong, did I?"

"Wang Qiushan...is he dead?"

"That's the number one mid-stage Void Refinement expert on the Xuanhuang Continent!"

After the deathly silence came a commotion as loud as a tsunami.

"Just how terrifying is Su Chen's combat power?!"

"Even a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator wouldn't last a single incense stick's time against him."

"Su Chen now is probably... probably the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage in the human realm!"

The discussions grew louder and louder, almost overturning the surface of the sea.

Li Ziran, standing thirty feet away, stared at the dark figure, speechless for a long time.

Shock.

Aside from shock, Li Ziran couldn't think of anything else.

He had fought a fierce battle for seven days, exhausting the resources of Luoyan City accumulated over hundreds of years, and was on the verge of defeat.

And Su Chen.

Before an incense stick could burn.

With a single blow, the old monster was crushed into dust.

This is a huge gamble.

Li Ziran felt that he had truly made a fortune this time.

This kid's strength has become terrifyingly powerful.

...

Deep within the crowd, the two figures, their auras concealed, exchanged a quiet glance.

A hint of lingering fear flashed across Lu Yao's eyes beneath the light veil.

Blood Fiend's voice was as deep as the ocean floor.

"Thanks to what happened back then."

"If Li Changfeng hadn't appeared in time..."

The old monster didn't say anything more.

But Lu Yao understood what he meant.

If it weren't for that Mahayana stage expert who stopped Su Chen's attack that day...

I'm afraid that by now, their remains are already buried underground in the Nightless Demon City of the Black Mountain Continent.

Where else can you find the chance to stand here and watch the show?

"Let's go."

Lu Yao withdrew her gaze.

The figure, enveloped in a faint, ethereal fragrance, quietly disappeared into the dispersing crowd.

Blood Fiend Child did not linger any longer.

The two arrived without anyone noticing, and left just as quietly, without disturbing anyone.

The layer of white ash that had accumulated to a thickness of half a foot on the sea surface was swept up by a long gust of wind and lifted high into the sky.

Su Chen walked slowly to Li Ziran and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Great-father-in-law, thank you for your trouble."

Li Ziran waved his hand, his tired face impossible to hide.

"That's enough."

"You've saved my life today."

Su Chen raised his hand, held the storage bag he had taken from Wang Qiushan's remnant soul in his palm, and handed it over.

"Father-in-law, please keep this."

Li Ziran was taken aback.

"this..."

"You've used up so many magical treasures on this trip for Su's marriage."

Su Chen pushed the storage bag forward a little.

"The things inside should naturally belong to you."

Li Ziran looked at the storage bag, which faintly emitted a spiritual light, clearly containing several extraordinary items.

The old man didn't refuse any longer and reached out to take it.

"You little rascal."

Li Ziran stroked the storage bag, and her already high regard for Su Chen increased by another three points.

He is not greedy for money, values ​​loyalty and righteousness, and is ruthless and decisive in his methods.

Such a person truly made the right choice in entrusting Luoyan City and his granddaughter to this family.

"Oh, right."

Li Ziran put away the storage bag, then suddenly remembered something.

"You killed Wang Qiushan so easily."

"As for Master Hongfu, would you like me to accompany you to explain things?"

"After all, Wang Qiushan is ultimately one of her people."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head.

...
