Just as everyone was holding their breath, Qin Hao sprang into action. His speed was astonishing, and his outstretched palm radiated a golden glow, resembling gold poured into shape. He seized the divine radiance.
Within his palm, thunder roared, forcibly completely refining it.
Then, he didn’t stop. His other hand clenched into a powerful fist, sweeping through the heavens and earth, causing murderous intent to ripple through the void, startling everyone.
Those who witnessed this punch couldn’t help but display a grave expression. Despite Qin Hao being in the Nirvana Realm, the force he exerted at this moment demanded utmost respect, even from those at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm.
The young man, astonished, exclaimed, “How is this possible?”
His carefully prepared strike, even if incapable of slaying Qin Hao, should have severely wounded him at the very least. Yet, unexpectedly, Qin Hao effortlessly nullified the attack and, with residual strength, unleashed a lethal move on him.
He had no chance of blocking this punch, not to mention he was already heavily injured. Even in his prime, he wouldn’t dare to directly confront such an attack.
Immediately, he turned towards the nearby void, seeking help from an elder, “Elder, save me!”
As his words fell, everyone turned their attention toward the elder from the Shadowless Hall. Many had already exchanged pleasantries with him, and no one could deny his terrifying strength.
However, what perplexed them was the elder’s inaction upon witnessing his disciple’s demise. He stood there silently, his aged face covered in sweat as if bearing immense pressure, akin to being targeted by a ferocious beast. Any slight movement on his part would lead to irreparable consequences.
Finally, there was a thunderous roar.
The once arrogant disciple of the Shadowless Hall was transformed into a mist of blood under the watchful eyes of all. The entire process unfolded smoothly, with no one daring to intervene.
This was a disciple of the Shadowless Hall, and right here was the main headquarters. Yet, when one of their disciples was killed, no one stepped forward to demand justice. The situation gave off an unreal feeling as if an invisible hand had grasped the throats of all the Shadowless Hall experts, preventing any rash actions.
“Shadowless Hall disciples are nothing special!”
Qin Hao’s expression remained unchanged after slaying the prodigy. He spoke casually as if squashing an ant. This statement not only belittled the entire Shadowless Hall but also dealt a significant blow to Qin Yuan’s reputation.
The Shadowless Hall elders wore stiff expressions, ignoring the surprised gazes of others. It wasn’t that they chose not to act; they simply couldn’t. The unseen terror in the shadows prevented them from making any moves. Even a mere strand of pressure left them immobilized. If the other party released full aura, they could likely be crushed into minced meat.
What heightened their fear was that, aside from them, others seemed oblivious to any anomaly. This unseen figure had mastered aura control to a remarkable extent.
“Could it be Su Chen?” The thought echoed in the minds of the Shadowless Hall elders.
Although Su Chen hadn’t appeared yet, no one could guarantee his absence. His reputation had soared, forcing every faction to treat him seriously. The rise of Su Chen was incredibly swift. He had reached the Saint Realm before forces could react. If given another millennium or a century, who could predict the terrifying heights Su Chen might reach?
At this point, not to mention other individuals or factions, even the Shadowless Hall was unwilling to be enemies with Su Chen. If not for the complications arising between Qin Hao and Qin Yuan, putting the Shadowless Hall in a difficult position, they would have already sent people to establish contact with Su Chen.
Even if they couldn’t recruit him into the Shadowless Hall, establishing some rapport would still be beneficial for them. After all, as long as they didn’t become enemies with Su Chen, it would be advantageous.
“Too bad for those disciples,” sighed a Shadowless Hall elder. These individuals were too naive, thinking that by mocking Qin Hao today, they could curry favor with Qin Yuan.
But they didn’t know that since Qin Hao dared to accept the challenge, there was not much difference in strength compared to Qin Yuan. Even if he was not as strong as Qin Yuan, he was not an ordinary disciple of Shadowless Hall who could be easily provoked!
“Is Qin Yuan coming?” Qin Hao stood in the void, disdainfully scanning his surroundings. Despite many onlookers, he found no trace of Qin Yuan. Instead, he identified several figures from the Qin family.
Some were his elders, and though he had left the Qin family at a young age, seeing them again invoked memories. Unfortunately, these individuals regarded him with cold indifference, lacking any familial warmth.
Especially among the Qin family crowd, he spotted a towering figure, causing his expression to turn cold—Qin Ziteng, the Patriarch of the Qin family!
Qin Ziteng, currently conversing with others, remained composed. After noticing Qin Hao’s gaze, he chuckled, not taking it to heart. In his eyes, Qin Hao was already a dead man. With Su Chen’s absence, escaping the clutches of so many was a fool’s dream.
As for whether Su Chen would be hiding in the dark, Qin Ziteng had never considered this possibility.
Today, he did not come alone. There was also a Great Saint Realm powerhouse from the Qin family accompanying him. This Great Saint Realm powerhouse could confirm that there was no trace of Su Chen within a million miles.
With Su Chen’s strength only at the Saint Realm, it was almost impossible for him to escape the scrutiny of a great saint. From this, it could be inferred that Su Chen was unlikely to show up today.
“I haven’t seen you for so many years. 1 never thought that you would actually be able to reach this step!” A calm voice resonated, breaking the tense atmosphere..
