Chapter 256: Reputation Was Ruined
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ling Yu had been paying attention to Qin Hao behind Su Chen this entire time. Qin Hao’s every move had been observed by him.
In his opinion, Qin Hao was just an abandoned child of the Qin family. Although Qin Hao was quite fortunate to have found Su Chen as his backing, as long as Su Chen submitted, Qin Hao would have nothing left to rely on.
If Su Chen really wanted to become Qin Yuan’s follower, perhaps Su Chen could have him personally kill Qin Hao and use Qin Hao’s head as a pledge of loyalty! At that time, wouldn’t Qin Yuan be overjoyed?
More than this, Ling Yu was even more eager to see Qin Hao’s expression. Thinking of this, a victorious smile appeared on Ling Yu’s lips.
Slap!
But at this moment, a crisp sound rang out. The smile on Ling Yu’s face had yet to fade before it completely froze. All he saw was a palm glowing with divine light streaking across the void to strike his cheek.
In the next moment, Ling Yu was sent flying as if struck by lightning.
Bang!
A loud sound rang out as Ling Yu crashed into a mountain, kicking up clouds of dust and attracting countless gazes.
“Your smile is disgusting. It makes me a little nauseous! Consider that slap a lesson for you.” Su Chen slowly retracted his palm, his expression tranquil.
“Su Chen!” Ling Yu roared furiously toward the heavens. His hair was disheveled, his body covered in blood. Su Chen’s slap had nearly blasted his head apart. If not for his formidable strength, he likely would have fallen just now.
Ever since he started cultivating, he had dominated the cultivation world for over two thousand years. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
“The Great Mystery Holy Son has defeated so many prodigies and can even match the experts of the older generation… Yet today, you launched a sneak attack on an elder of my Spirit Race! Is this what you call the Great Mystery Holy Son?” The Spirit Race youth spoke coldly, his voice like thunder ringing through heaven and earth. All eyes turned to him.
“Hmph! Does the Great Mystery Holy Son dare to fight fair and square?” At this moment, another Quasi-Saint Realm expert of the Spirit Race snorted coldly. However, just as his voice fell, Su Chen stepped forward as dazzling divine light erupted from his entire body.
Terrifying blood essence power spread in all directions, enveloping all the Spirit Race members within. Facing such might, the Spirit Race members’ expressions drastically changed. They continuously retreated.
“Su Chen! Su Chen… what are you trying to do? Think it over carefully. If you dare attack us today, the Spirit Race and the Qin family will definitely not let you off!” The Spirit Race youth’s face was pale as he continued speaking, “Qin Yuan will definitely become a true immortal in the future. If you dare touch us, he will definitely kill you!”
“Qin Yuan? Hehe…” Hearing this, Su Chen looked at the youth playfully, his face full of disdain as he said, “A piece of trash who extracted other’s Longevity Marrow is worthy of killing me? So young yet his methods are so dirty, he’s destined not to go far in the future. In fact, he may just die after stepping out one day!”
“What do you mean by that?” The Spirit Race youth’s brows furrowed as deep fear flashed in his eyes. He quickly shook his head. “Su Chen, don’t spout nonsense without evidence! What are you talking about? We don’t understand at all!”
“Hehe…” Su Chen sneered repeatedly. He turned to look at Qin Hao behind him, then said, “Then let me make you understand properly! Qin Yuan’s Longevity Immortal Body doesn’t belong to him at all!”
With these words, the once calm scene suddenly erupted into turmoil.
Everyone present had a sudden change in their expressions, looking at Su Chen with disbelief.
The two pieces of news that had appeared today were truly too shocking. The Longevity Immortal Body, one of Qin Yuan’s two heaven-defying talents, actually didn’t originally belong to him? If this news spread… it would probably send the entire world into an uproar! It would also deal a huge blow to Qin Yuan and the Qin family!
Although it wouldn’t affect their strength, the reputation built up over many years by the Qin family would likely be ruined.
“Something that doesn’t belong to him forcibly appeared on his body. How much power do you think Qin Yuan can unleash?” As Su Chen spoke, he slowly walked forward. With each step he took, the aura around his body grew increasingly terrifying. In the end, the seven or eight Spirit Race experts could no longer remain airborne. They fell to the ground together.
Su Chen stood aloft in the heavens, looking down at them from on high like a god passing judgment. He solemnly declared, “A villain like Qin Yuan will definitely perish within ten years!”
Hearing this, the minds of all present were shaken.
“So Qin Yuan’s two heaven-defying talents concealed such hidden secrets…”
“I wonder who the original owner of the Longevity Immortal Body was?”
“Me too, and how was this physique transplanted to him?”
“For ordinary cultivators, transplanting a physique is as difficult as ascending the heavens! But for Saint Realm experts or even Saint King Realm experts, it’s as easy as turning over one’s hand.”
“Then based on this logic, wouldn’t the original owner of the Longevity Immortal Body…”
“If nothing unexpected happened, that person should already be dead.”
“Sigh, the Qin family is truly ruthless! Abandoning a Longevity Immortal Body to nurture a peerless prodigy with two heaven-defying talents!”
“After today, the reputations of the Qin family and Spirit Race will likely be ruined! Those with special physiques should be wary of these two clans!”
“You are right. Since they dare cripple a Longevity Immortal Body, then they will dare secretly cripple a sacred body or divine body as well!”
“I just didn’t expect a family that once produced a Great Emperor could be so dirty!”
“There is nothing pure in this world!”
Su Chen’s words caused everyone to feel disgust toward the Spirit Race and the Qin family, especially the few Holy Sons and Holy Maidens present. Although these prodigies didn’t have powerful physiques like a divine body, quite a few still possessed special physiques.
For example, the Eldest Prince of the Dachu Empire possessed one of the five elemental physiques, the Spiritual Gold Physique. This physique’s killing power was extremely terrifying, with few at the same level able to compare. If the Qin family targeted such a physique, who knew which day they might send experts to secretly suppress the prince, then extract his marrow for transplant into another?
With the Qin family’s strength, if they really did this, even if the Dachu Empire was twice as strong, they would be helpless to act. Although the Dachu Empire was comparable to a Holy Land, it was absolutely incomparable to an imperial family, especially one with such an ancient heritage and deep foundations, and even more so when they had a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse overseeing them!
“Qin Hao! Did you tell him all these things?”
At this moment, Ling Yu flew over from the distance. He stretched out his palm, turning it into a giant palm that blotted out the sun and sky as it enveloped the heavens. His target was Qin Hao standing behind Su Chen.
From his perspective, the reason Su Chen knew all this was because Qin Hao had told him..
