“Who is it that comes here? Stop!”
A stern shout came from ahead, and Qin Chen's group was stopped. Two armored martial artists exuding a terrifying killing intent blocked their path; both of them were late-stage Martial Emperors.
“We are from the Alchemy Pavilion. These three are the selected candidates from our Alchemy Pavilion to enter the Ancient Yu Realm.”
“People from the Alchemy Pavilion? Didn’t the geniuses from the Alchemy Pavilion arrive over half a month ago?” one of them coldly retorted, and immediately, a terrifying murderous aura enveloped them like a mountain, pressing down on Qin Chen and the others.
So strong! Ye Mo and Yan Chida’s expressions changed, their faces turning pale. They had encountered many late-stage Martial Emperors in the East Continent and South Hu Domain, but these two felt exponentially more frightening. It was as if the late-stage Martial Emperors from the lower four domains could be easily crushed by them.
Is this what the Martial Domain is like?
Ye Mo and Yan Chida's hearts were struck with immense shock.
“These three are the geniuses chosen by our Alchemy Pavilion from the lower four domains. They just arrived today,” a strong Alchemy Pavilion expert escorting Qin Chen declared loudly, presenting a token.
The two powerful figures glanced at the token, then turned to look at Qin Chen and the others, coldly saying, “These three are the geniuses from the lower four domains? I wonder what capabilities they possess to enter the Ancient Yu Realm. It’s truly laughable.”
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying pressure spread out, and their gazes turned into sharp blades, aiming to annihilate everything in their path, directly targeting Qin Chen and the others.
Step, step, step!
Ye Mo and Yan Chida’s faces slightly changed, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and with a spurt of blood, they coughed violently.
Only Qin Chen remained unmoved, standing firm against the sharp aura, unaffected.
“Hmm?”
The two showed surprise, their displeasure growing. The sharp intent intensified, transforming into a horrifying murderous intent, akin to a vast ocean crashing into Qin Chen's mind.
“Stop!” the leading Alchemy Pavilion expert shouted angrily, swiftly placing himself in front of Qin Chen and the others. He glared furiously, reprimanding, “You two have some nerve to dare to act against my Alchemy Pavilion's people!”
The two laughed heartily, quickly retracting their aura. One of them then said with a smile, “Misunderstanding! We were just curious about the geniuses from the lower four domains, and momentarily lost control. We only wanted to test them. If we offended, please forgive us.”
The other added, “Since they are disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion, we shall let them pass. Please, go ahead.”
The two stepped aside, allowing them to continue.
“Hmph.” The leading Alchemy Pavilion expert coldly snorted, looking at Qin Chen and the others, frowning, “Are you all okay?”
“We’re fine.” Ye Mo and Yan Chida, eager not to cause trouble in the Martial Domain, quickly wiped the blood from their mouths and shook their heads.
Qin Chen, however, sneered, “I’m fine too, but these two really have a lot of arrogance. As Martial Domain experts, to use such despicable means. No wonder even with the status of a Martial Emperor, they still cannot enter the Ancient Yu Realm. Being mere gatekeepers here, it seems they will only achieve this little in their lifetime.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence. Ye Mo and Yan Chida stared at Qin Chen in shock; he was too bold to dare to speak like this to the guards of the Ancient Yu Realm.
Even the leading Alchemy Pavilion expert’s expression changed, looking at Qin Chen in surprise.
“You brat, what did you say? Seeking death!”
One of the guards instantly erupted in anger, and with a roar, he reached out his right hand, ready to grab Qin Chen. The terrifying murderous intent enveloped the area like a mountain of blades.
