Let alone Qin Chen, who was located at the center of the demonic energy; under this palm strike, he would undoubtedly die.
However, the scene that followed took them by surprise. Amidst the swirling demonic energy, Qin Chen's long robe fluttered fiercely, and a cold smile appeared on his face, as if nothing were the matter. Shang Wuji's face turned pale, filled with disbelief. Although he hadn’t intended to take Qin Chen’s life with this strike, it was still extremely terrifying, especially with the bizarre power of the Demon Tribe contained within. He had originally thought he could easily capture Qin Chen, but the result astonished him.
"It’s impossible!" Even if Qin Chen were at the peak of the late-stage Martial Emperor, it was inconceivable that he could so easily withstand his attack. In fury and shock, he unleashed wave after wave of terrifying black demonic energy, crashing towards Qin Chen like a vast ocean, with shadowy figures resembling demonic heads flashing around, attempting to invade Qin Chen's mind.
"Eh, interesting!" Shang Wuji, owning the bloodline of the Demon Tribe, was capable of seizing other Martial Emperors' bodies even while at the Martial Emperor realm, and his soul power was particularly unique, distinctly different from that of human martial artists. Although not as terrifying as the true Demon Tribe, he possessed a trace of unique, icy aura, with a hint of invisible soul attack within.
Such a soul attack, if it were to land on any other Martial Emperor, even one at the peak of the late stage, would leave them dizzy and possibly injured.
But who is Qin Chen?
In the past, even the soul attacks of the Skeleton Captain, a Demon Lord, couldn’t harm him. Shang Wuji, merely a human-demon hybrid, actually thought he could wound him with such a trivial soul attack? That was truly wishful thinking.
"Are you just tickling me?" Qin Chen said with a light smile. After breaking through the seventh level of the Undying Holy Body, Qin Chen no longer feared anyone. Previously, he would have at least had to dodge or resist an attack of Shang Wuji's caliber, but now, no matter how Shang Wuji attacked, he remained completely unmoved, as if it were just a tickle.
Shang Wuji's face suddenly flushed red with humiliation, an unprecedented shame.
"Kill the others for me! I want to see if Qin Chen can still be so complacent."
With a roar, Yue Zhongkui, Wei Xingguang, and two other individuals in black had already arrived before You Qianxue and the others. Countless strands of black demonic energy twisted like vines, forming a cage of heaven and earth, sweeping towards You Qianxue and the others.
No!
The two surviving Martial Emperors from the Guiyuan Sect and Misty Hidden Sect felt terror. The terrifying demonic sound penetrated their minds; even before the attack arrived, they were already in a panic, despair surging in their hearts.
All five of them were peak mid-stage Martial Emperors; how could they win against four late-stage Martial Emperors, especially such bizarre bloodlines from another race?
At that moment, they seemed to see the Grim Reaper descending, their blood running cold, bodies stiffening, filled with dread.
But to their astonishment, the faces of Ji Ruyue, You Qianxue, and Chen Sisi showed no hint of fear, only excitement.
Having laid low for so long, could they finally unleash their killing spree?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the countless strands of black demonic energy were about to envelop them, a sudden, earth-shattering aura erupted from the three, with endless sword energy intertwining with eerie demonic sounds echoing throughout the stone chamber.
"Domain of the Sword!"
Boom!
The terrifying sword energy was released simultaneously, and countless sword energies emanated from Ji Ruyue and You Qianxue, forming a shocking sword energy domain, attempting to resist the black demonic power.
"Hmph, mere tricks, insignificant." Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui's faces were marked with lines of black, their eyes glowing red like vengeful spirits, grinning as they said, "You come from the Law Enforcement Hall. Originally, as part of the Law Enforcement Hall, we might have spared your lives, but unfortunately, you became aware of our secrets, so you must die." Countless demonic energies intersected, colliding with the sword energy domain, causing a series of astonishing booming sounds. As the demonic energy entered the sword energy domain, it was severed apart. Although the demonic energies healed continuously after being cut, they could not get near Ji Ruyue and the others at all.
