“You still dare to attack Young Friend Su Chen?”
Flame Lord’s expression turned cold when he saw this. His body flashed as he appeared in front of Su Chen, a seal condensed in his hand.
However…
Before he could attack, Su Chen attacked first. Su Chen’s palm reached out and a square seal also emerged. This seal resembled a towering mountain, majestic and exuding an ancient, timeless aura as it soared to the heavens.
But there was a difference. On the surface of the seal conjured by Su Chen, there was a hint of an annihilating force capable of destroying everything in the world.
Boom!
The two seals collided, creating a deafening boom. Violent aftershocks swept in all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Demon Race expert retreated several steps in the air.
One of his hands trembled slightly, a few drops of crimson blood seeping from his fingertips. His demonic eyes were filled with disbelief.
How was this possible? He had not underestimated Su Chen from the start and had used almost his full power in that last move. Yet not only did he fail to defeat Su Chen, but he had suffered a huge loss instead.
“What you used just now was not the power of intents!”
The Demon Race expert suddenly raised his head, as if realizing something. His voice was filled with shock. There was nothing special about the divine power Su Chen had just used. However, the aura surrounding that seal was extremely extraordinary as if it could annihilate everything in the world.
Even though this Demon Race powerhouse had cultivated to the Quasi-Saint Realm, he still felt a chill down his spine when he thought carefully about it.
“Good vision.”
Su Chen spoke indifferently.
Up until now, he had already used the Power of Laws several times, but this was the first time someone had recognized it.
“I see!”
The Demon Race expert frowned. He looked at Su Chen, then looked at Flame Lord and his fellow disciples. His heart sank to the bottom.
Dealing with Flame Lord alone was already very difficult. If Su Chen was added, he would not stand a chance at all. Thinking of this… He let out a cold snort and did not stay any longer, turning into a ray of light and leaving directly.
Flame Lord watched as the Demon Race expert left. He cupped his fists at Su Chen again and said, “Young Friend Su Chen has really helped me a lot! I won’t say much about gratitude. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to send me a message.”
After saying that, he took out a communication jade slip and handed it over.
“Alright.”
Su Chen accepted the jade slip and said, “1 still have important matters to attend to, so 1 won’t stay here any longer.”
“Alright. Young Friend, take care!” Flame Lord said with a smile.
Su Chen nodded slightly and did not reply further. He turned around and returned to the golden chariot, driving it away.
Flame Lord stood in place, watching Su Chen leave. He did not come back to his senses for a long time.
“The demeanor of a Great Emperor! Why isn’t such a prodigy from our Flaming Fire Holy Land!” Flame Lord muttered emotionally.
“Senior Brother, you mean that Great Mystery Holy Son may become an Emperor in the future?”
Behind Flame Lord, a middle-aged man asked curiously.
His strength was much weaker than Flame Lord’s, only at the initial stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. He was merely a supporting character in the battle against the Demon Race expert just now.
“That’s right.”
Flame Lord nodded gently. His mind kept replaying Su Chen’s attack just now. If not for the Demon Race expert’s reminder, he would not have noticed at all. But after being reminded, he finally realized afterward. Su Chen’s seal from earlier seemed to be wrapped in the Power of Laws!
As for the Power of Laws…
Only powerhouses at the Saint King Realm could have access to it, yet Su Chen could already utilize the Power of Laws now. Even if it was just the surface, it was still extremely inconceivable.
“Although the Great Mystery Holy Son is not someone from our Flaming Fire Holy Land, fortunately, we are lucky enough to establish friendly ties with him.”
Flame Lord pondered for a moment, touching the storage ring on his hand. Inside was lying quietly a sword grass. It was precisely the Primordial Sword Grass Su Chen had given him.
“Senior Brother, 1 heard that before the God Demon Sect’s ruins opened, the Great Mystery Holy Son had some conflicts with the Dashang Empire. 1 speculate the Dashang Empire is very likely to make a move against the Great Mystery Holy Son. Do you think we should…”
The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with excitement as he spoke agitatedly.
The Dashang Empire had an extremely long legacy. If they were to make a move against Su Chen, they would have to send out at least a few Quasi-Saint Realm experts. With Su Chen’s strength, dealing with one Quasi-Saint Realm cultivator would be easy. However, dealing with several would be a bit difficult.
If their Flaming Fire Holy Land lent a hand at this critical juncture, wouldn’t that deepen the relationship between Su Chen and Flaming Fire Holy Land greatly? In this way, when Su Chen became an Emperor in the future, their Flaming Fire Holy Land would also benefit tremendously.
“Cough, cough! Junior Brother, you are a little too self-serving! Since that Young Friend Su Chen gifted me a Primordial Sword Grass, it’s only right and proper for me to offer a helping hand.”
Flame Lord coughed lightly and spoke in a deep voice.
He raised his head and looked in the direction Su Chen had departed, pondering for a moment before turning to say, “Let’s head in that direction too! Firstly, we can try our luck and see if we can find an opportunity. Secondly, if Young Friend Su Chen encounters danger, we can quickly lend a hand.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to Senior Brother.”
The middle-aged man nodded and followed behind Flame Lord, flying in the direction Su Chen had left.
At the same time, in the golden chariot.
Ye Ruxue sat by Su Chen’s side, several times wanting to speak but hesitating.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
Su Chen instantly saw through what she was thinking and said.
“Why have you been giving away the things you obtained along the way to others?”
Hearing this, Ye Ruxue curiously asked.
That Flame Lord from earlier was not the first one. Ever since Su Chen entered the ruins of the God Demon Sect, all the good things he obtained were gifted to others. Prior to this, Su Chen had already helped dozens of holy land elders and Nirvana Realm holy land disciples. Among them, there was no lack of figures at the Saint King Realm.
Although the things Su Chen gave away were not precious to him, they were extremely valuable to the recipients. If placed in the outside world, they could be sold for astronomical prices! Yet in Su Chen’s hands, he casually gave them away.
This was simply unbelievable!
“Cultivation is not just about fighting and killing, but also about understanding the ways of the world! 1 have many enemies but almost no allies that can help me in the ruins of the God Demon Sect this time. If 1 don’t build up some connections, how can I help you snatch the Black Tortoise’s blood essence?”
Su Chen said indifferently.
“So you’re waiting for them to repay your kindness?”
Ye Ruxue instantly grasped the crucial point.
But soon, she shook her head. Not everyone paid attention to the art of dealing with people, nor would everyone repay kindness.
Su Chen’s efforts might still end up in vain..
