Chapter 168 The End of the Hero

The clock continued its relentless ticking, marking the passage of seconds into minutes. Presently, on the football field within the stadium, ten individuals, all stadium officials, were present.

Their collective gaze remained fixed upon Qin Chen, sprawled on the ground, tears streaming down his face. His body exuded both a golden aura and dark energy.

"Should we assist him?" one proposed.

"I think leaving him be might be wiser. He appears more pained than sad. Perhaps heartbreak or defeat by that woman," another suggested.

"Hey, he seems to be in agony rather than sorrow. Let's lend a hand," this time, a middle-aged man with a black beard and mustache, a seasoned figure, spoke.

Their agreement echoed through nods.

"Alright, I concur. Let's take him to the hospital."

Three of them approached Qin Chen, offering their support to help him stand.

The middle-aged man positioned himself in front of Qin Chen, "Young man... You look quite youthful. Don't worry, we'll get you to the hospital," he reassured.

Qin Chen found a glimmer of relief in his words, responding with a heartfelt "Thanks" before following the middle-aged man's lead.

However, the abrupt rumble of thunder disrupted their proceedings.

All eyes turned towards the sky, where lightning illuminated the clouds. "Are we in for rain?" someone mumbled.

"Yes, let's make our way to the hospital quickly," another suggested.

Suddenly, however, lightning struck Qin Chen, creating a resounding "Bang!" that sent shockwaves through everyone present.

The onlookers were stunned, unable to comprehend what had just occurred. Their attention shifted to Qin Chen, who was now on the ground, being strangled by an assailant of his own age.

The countenance and power emanated from none other than Long Tian, his expression a volatile blend of anger and a palpable intent to kill.

Meanwhile, Qin Chen struggled to grasp the reality unfolding before him. Long Tian had materialized right in front of him!

"Y-you bastard! Release me!" he exclaimed, attempting to break free from Long Tian's grasp.

Yet, Long Tian maintained a wrathful countenance. "I won't let you slip away this time, Qin Chen. After extending so many opportunities to end you, now is the moment," he declared with an icy coldness.

Subsequently, the Seven-Form Pagoda materialized in his left hand. "I suppose this sacrifice is worth it," he stated.

Without a moment's hesitation, he crushed the pagoda, producing a sharp "Crack!" that echoed, marking the demise of the artifact.

In the ensuing moment, radiant white energy erupted from his hand, dispersing into a triangular formation reminiscent of the pagoda, ensnaring both Qin Chen and Long Tian within.

The stadium officials were taken aback; Long Tian and Qin Chen had abruptly vanished from their sight.

"What is happening? Did they just disappear?!"

"Damn. This is the first instance I've witnessed something of this nature!"

"Man... They appear to be adversaries."

Everyone present articulated their astonishment and incredulity at the sudden disappearance of Qin Chen and Long Tian.

----------

In this desolate, boundless expanse of white, Long Tian gripped and hoisted Qin Chen into suspension. "I've spared your life for so long, but now that you've laid hands on my woman, I won't hesitate to kill you," he declared coldly.

Qin Chen's expression reflected utmost seriousness. Despite harboring intense anger toward Long Tian, his strength had been entirely depleted in the clash with Li Yue'er.

"You-you'll regret it if you kill me!" he threatened.

"Oh, let's find out then," Long Tian retorted, his tone icy.

In the ensuing moment, he forcefully threw Qin Chen to the ground. Following that, he positioned himself above Qin Chen and unleashed a powerful punch.

The resounding "Thump!" echoed, signifying the impact of the punch that caused Qin Chen's nose to bleed instantly.

Long Tian didn't cease there; he continued with even more formidable force.

The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth punches... Each strike produced a horrifying sound, distorting Qin Chen's visage into an inhuman semblance.

Bloodstains adorned both of Long Tian's fists, testament to the gruesome injuries inflicted upon Qin Chen's face.

Qin Chen found himself entirely immobilized, as if his very essence had forsaken him.

Yet, his eyes blazed with an unyielding fury and determination.

"RAAAAAAAAARGH!" he bellowed with immense intensity, accompanied by the resurgence of a golden aura enveloping his form.

In the subsequent moment... "BOOM!" his body erupted in a burst of golden energy. However, the experienced Long Tian promptly clenched his fists once more, shrouded in thunder and darkness.

With a decisive precision, he struck Qin Chen's face again, yielding a resounding "Bang!" merging the echoes of thunder and the sheer force of his punch.

Instantly, the radiant golden aura within Qin Chen dissipated, leaving him devoid of any essence.

The fiery determination in his eyes gradually waned, replaced by a vacant and lifeless stare.

Long Tian stood, panting heavily, both of his hands drenched in the blood that once flowed through Qin Chen's veins.

"That teleportation disc won't serve you in this realm," he sneered.

Qin Chen remained silent, devoid of the strength to utter a single word or make the slightest movement.

Nevertheless, Long Tian unsheathed his dark blade. "Now, let's end this!" he declared.

Tears streamed down Qin Chen's face. However, the chilling sound of the dark blade slicing through his neck echoed, and his head was ruthlessly severed.

Long Tian stood tall, his gaze fixed upon Qin Chen's lifeless form. His mind contemplated the unfolding events.

True to form, Qin Chen's body abruptly ascended into the air, enveloped in a whirlwind of golden energy. Cracks reverberated throughout, signaling the disintegration of this realm.

Witnessing this, Long Tian leaped toward Qin Chen, only to be forcefully repelled, crashing back to the ground.

The golden aura intensified, akin to a tempest engulfing Qin Chen. It coexisted with golden lightning and spiraling winds, creating a spectacle beyond belief.

In the subsequent moment, the golden aura erupted, producing a thunderous "BOOOM!" that echoed across the space, instantly reverting back to the stadium.

The golden aura scattered indiscriminately, plunging the area into darkness along with fierce winds and thunder resonating in the heavens.

The sunlight vanished behind thick clouds, casting a veil of obscurity over everything. Lightning streaked across the sky, and an unyielding downpour drenched the entire city of Tianzhou.

Long Tian stood amidst the downpour, staring at the dismembered remains of Qin Chen, devoid of any life energy.

"I suppose that's the end,Qin Chen. You've met your demise at my hands!" he declared coldly.

He then approached, crouching near Qin Chen. His hand transformed into sharp dragon claws, fixated on Qin Chen's chest.

Without a moment's hesitation, he thrust his hand into Qin Chen's left chest, extracting his heart.

"Now, what will you bestow upon me?"
