Chapter 243:I Alone Will Suffice
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Elder Xiong of your Infinite Demon Sect hasn’t traveled far on the road to the netherworld. Today, 1’11 send you to accompany him on the journey!” Su Chen spoke indifferently.
His entire body emanated golden divine light, and rumbling thunder sounded from within him.
“If you’re not afraid of death, come on up!”
“Oh? Is that so?”
“Then today, 1 want to see just what abilities you have to dare spout such audacious nonsense!” Tang Huo’s pitch-black eyes were filled with icy coldness.
Dressed in black robes, a terrifying aura permeated his body. Gripping a longsword in hand, he strode towards Su Chen step by step.
“Are you alone?” Su Chen’s brows furrowed slightly as he spoke.
He was now a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse and wanted to properly test his current strength. In his opinion, just Tang Huo of the Infinite Demon Sect was not enough.
“Arrogant!”
At this moment, a cold shout rang out. Behind Tang Huo, two more Infinite Demon Sect’s elders appeared.
The auras of the three merged into one, transforming into a vast ocean that shook the heavens and earth. Facing such pressure, many weaker beings swiftly retreated.
The two sides hadn’t exchanged blows yet, but their auras alone were already so terrifying. It was hard to imagine how frightening the battle aftermath would be.
“Your Highness, shall we attack?” an elderly man behind Shang Feng inquired.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Previously, their Dashang Empire had sent many experts here. Originally there were several Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses.
Unfortunately, not long ago, two Quasi-Saint Realm experts had fallen in the fight over two divine medicines. Another was heavily injured with no battle strength remaining.
Presently, there were only two who could make a move. With just these two, it would be difficult to handle Su Chen, who had yet to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, let alone now that he had broken through. There was absolutely no chance of victory.
However, what they didn’t expect was that Su Chen had actually provoked an Infinite Demon Sect elder right from the start. Was he seeking death? No matter how strong, he had only just broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm! In everyone’s view, he had no odds against three Quasi-Saint Realm experts.
Of course, though there was no chance of winning, fighting to a draw wasn’t too difficult. After all, Su Chen’s talent was clear for all to see. But if their two Quasi-Saint Realm experts of Dashang joined in, the outcome would differ.
Five Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses joining forces. Even a peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse would perish here. Su Chen was very strong with heaven-defying aptitude, but could he compare to a peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse? Clearly impossible!
“Attack!” Shang Feng pondered briefly before speaking slowly.
Su Chen was exerting too much pressure on him. He was several times Su Chen’s age, yet could only live in Su Chen’s shadow. If Su Chen didn’t die, their generation’s prodigies would likely never be able to hold their heads high!
“Yes, Your Highness!” The two elderly men behind Shang Feng bowed respectfully in unison before stepping into the sky.
Boom! The auras of two Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses erupted simultaneously, shaking the world in an instant.
“Two more Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses!” someone cried in shock.
“That’s…”
“A Quasi-Saint Realm expert from Dashang!”
“Seems Dashang doesn’t want to give up this opportunity!”
“Su Chen is in danger!”
“Five joint Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses isn’t something an ordinary person can withstand.”
“Are we going to watch this generation’s prodigy fall here?”
The masses of onlookers spoke up.
However…
Right after they finished speaking, many experts emerged from the crowd and void. Their strength wasn’t much inferior to the Infinite Demon Sect’s elders.
But contrary to everyone’s assumptions, these people didn’t stand opposed to Su Chen, instead choosing to stand by his side.
“The Infinite Demon Sect and Dashang joining forces to bully Fellow Daoist Su Chen alone is too shameless! Why not count me in?” an elderly man in Eight Trigrams robes spoke slowly.
“Humph! Since when did Dashang and the Infinite Demon Sect become so shameless? I can’t stand your methods. Why not add me too?” queried a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man, standing before Su Chen and gazing unkindly at the five Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses.
“The Heavenly Heart Sacred Sect!”
“The Dachu Empire!”
“These two forces have made their move, and the previous two speakers aren’t good fellows either!”
“There are also people from the Dasui Empire and two elders of the Flaming Fire Holy Land. The remaining few are rather unfamiliar.”
“Hiss… Now I believe the rumor that someone helped Su Chen during the fight over the Black Tortoise’s blood essence.”
“And it seems the ones in danger aren’t Su Chen, but the Infinite Demon Sect and Dashang!”
“That’s right!”
“Looking around, there are dozens of Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses behind Su Chen, while they only have five. Just in numbers, Su Chen already has the advantage!”
“There’s practically no suspense in this battle!”
The sudden appearance of dozens of Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses shocked everyone, while also leaving them puzzled. They couldn’t understand how Su Chen had accomplished this.
It felt like no matter what happened, there would always be experts helping Su Chen. One or two was fine, but the key was that so many experts had shown up all at once, and from different factions at that. This was truly unbelievable.
“This…” The two Dashang Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses who had just emerged were instantly stunned in place.
The two glanced at each other, both seeing the awkwardness in the other’s eyes. They had assumed the three Infinite Demon Sect’s elders plus themselves could easily handle Su Chen.
Yet what they didn’t expect was for so many experts to aid Su Chen. The two were now caught in a dilemma.
If they attacked, they would surely face dozens of Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses. By then, not only would they be unable to fight, but even escaping would be impossible.
But if they didn’t attack and simply retreated like this, Dashang’s prestige would be utterly lost. Su Chen killing one of their Dukes and dozens of Nirvana Realm cultivators had already shamed Dashang.
If today’s events were added, it was likely their Dashang Empire would be unable to lift its head before the other powers ever again.
“What should we do now?” A Dashang Quasi-Saint Realm expert asked anxiously via sound transmission.
“Or else…” The other turned to look at Shang Feng behind him, then at Su Chen ahead. He secretly steeled himself, preparing to flee.
However, before he could speak, he saw Su Chen striding towards them step by step.
“Seniors, I gratefully accept your kind intentions! Next, 1 only need all seniors to stay nearby and guard the formation. To deal with those five…. I alone will suffice!”
