Chapter 303: Slaying Saint Realm Powerhouses
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
One had to know that the Dachu Empire, the Dasui Empire, the Purple Clouds Holy Land, and many other powerful factions had formed alliances with the Great Mystery Sacred Sect not because they valued the sect’s strength. They saw the potential in Su Chen!
Without Su Chen, the Great Mystery Sacred Sect would merely be a minor force in the eyes of these behemoths. “Your reliance…” Su Chen wore a faint smile as he gazed toward a specific point in the void. “Are those two hidden saints? Powerful Saint Realm powerhouses lurking in the shadows like mice. Your reliance is truly laughable!” As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone was stunned. Disbelief was written all over their faces. They all looked at Su Chen in astonishment. How was this possible?
How could Su Chen have discovered the two Saint Realm powerhouses hiding in the shadows? The Spirit Race Patriarch and the others exchanged glances, and their instincts told them that there was a traitor among them. Without a traitor, how could Su Chen have appeared here so early? How could he have set bait here in advance, waiting for their arrival?
Even more so, at this moment, Su Chen already knew about their two Saint Realm powerhouses. One had to know that this news was top-secret; it hadn’t spread to the outside world. Only a few of them who had collaborated knew about it. How did Su Chen find out? There was no doubt that there must be a traitor among them. Only this explanation made sense.
“No matter who is secretly aiding you, today, you will still meet your doom!” declared the Spirit Race Patriarch with a cold expression. He chose not to pursue the traitor at this moment, as it would be pointless and might even lead to internal conflict. In this place, there were only Su Chen and Long Wu, and no matter how one looked at it, neither of them could match the two Saint Realm powerhouses. Now was the most suitable time to act, and they could investigate the traitor after dealing with Su Chen.
As the Spirit Race Patriarch spoke, a divine light covered the sky, and a slender figure appeared in the sky. With gray hair, he stood on a pitch-black mountain with his back turned to everyone. He was quite far away, appearing only as a small black dot. However, his presence felt like facing a mountain with overwhelming pressure. At this moment, no one could resist the urge to kneel; a saint had descended!
The expressions of the five dark creatures turned ugly. They never expected things to escalate to this point. Now, it seemed that the human prodigy couldn’t escape death. After the human prodigy’s death, it would be their turn.
Just as they panicked, a terrifying force suddenly fell from the sky, covering a vast area of ten thousand miles. The entire Demon Slaying Altar shook in an instant. The sea of clouds churned, and it felt like the world itself was about to collapse. Everyone present, except for Su Chen and Long Wu, knelt down; another Saint Realm powerhouse had appeared. This saint’s aura was extremely dominating. Even before his figure was revealed, his presence alone forced everyone to kneel, creating a sense of impending natural disaster.
“Two Saint Realm powerhouses!” the leading dark creature said with a bitter smile. Their hearts were filled with bitterness at this moment. They wondered what they had done to incur the wrath of heaven. Why had they attracted two Saint Realm powerhouses from the human race when they had just crossed over without doing anything? They hadn’t even taken a step out of the Demon Slaying Altar. Could it be that these two Saint Realm powerhouses were here for this human prodigy? But this… it seemed too unbelievable.
“Su Chen, you’re not bad. No wonder you were able to push a group of
Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses to such a state,” said the Saint Realm powerhouse from the Qin family indifferently. He was tall and slender, dressed in a robe adorned with the sun and moon, with white hair draped over his shoulders. Strands of immortal Qi and saintly aura faintly emanated from his body. Although this aura was very weak, he didn’t release it deliberately, yet it was still soul-stirring. Standing on the mountain’s peak, he seemed like an eternal god, incredibly terrifying.
“Unfortunately,” he continued, “a prodigy like you doesn’t belong to my Qin family.”
He turned around, and his robe fluttered in the wind. At this moment, the aura around him steadily increased. “If you hadn’t become an enemy of my Qin family, perhaps you could have dominated an era in the future. Unfortunately, you’re wrong! Since you’re an enemy of my Qin family, be prepared to meet your end!”
The Spirit Race Patriarch and the others were extremely excited after hearing the words of the Qin family’s saint. With these words, Su Chen’s fate was sealed. After all, the Qin family’s saint was not an ordinary figure. With his insight, he could see Su Chen’s potential at a glance.
Now, with the Qin family and Su Chen as mortal enemies, Su Chen had to be eliminated. Otherwise, he would become a hidden danger for the Qin family in the future.
“Release your sea of divine sense and allow me to leave a slave seal; then, I might spare your life,” a cold voice came from the distant void. The voice was extremely sharp as if a peerless divine sword was piercing through the void and shaking the world.
This voice undoubtedly belonged to another saint. However, he didn’t reveal his true form, but his words clearly conveyed his intentions.
“The saint of my Spirit Race has always cherished talent. They couldn’t bear to see Su Chen perish, so they left him a way out. However, it’s hard to say if Su Chen knows what’s good for him,” the Spirit Race Patriarch said with a smile, believing that they had already won. They now had two Saint Realm powerhouses on their side, and the group of Quasi-Saint Realm experts only needed to watch the battle. They didn’t even have to do anything, and Su Chen would be defeated.
Despite Su Chen’s talent, no one believed he could overcome two Saint Realm powerhouses in such a short time. They didn’t think he could slay Saint Realm powerhouses, let alone reach the late stage or even the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm.
On the side, the Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses from other factions didn’t speak, but their eyes held a hint of mockery. Even if Su Chen was a prodigy, accepting such humiliation by releasing his sea of divine sense and accepting a slave seal was unacceptable, not just to Su Chen but to any cultivator..
