“This guy seems a bit off.” Lao Yuan’s voice came through.
Without Lao Yuan saying anything, Qin Chen had already sensed something was wrong. He didn’t even know this person; even if they had a grudge, they wouldn’t just attack without saying a word.
“It looks like he has been possessed by something,” Lao Yuan said again.
This time, Qin Chen didn’t think twice and quickly retreated while summoning the Qinglian Demon Fire. The azure lotus appeared like a blue flame, suddenly rising up and enveloping this stolid powerhouse within it.
Under the deep blue flames of Qin Chen’s Qinglian Demon Fire, a faint shadow was attached to the body of this dull-witted martial artist. The dark shadow clung tightly to this powerhouse, its limbs merging together as if it was parasitic.
As soon as the Qinglian Demon Fire emerged, that shadow immediately sensed Qin Chen’s flames, revealing a terrified and vicious expression, just like the previous shadow. With flames dancing on his palm, Qin Chen suddenly appeared behind the giant Martial God, slamming his palm onto the shadow.
With a scream of "Eek!" the shadow twisted instantly under the scorching of the Qinglian Demon Fire, breaking free from the giant Martial God’s body in panic, wanting to escape. But as soon as it separated, it was completely surrounded by the Qinglian Demon Fire, gradually fading amidst its screams and struggles, finally vanishing without a trace like smoke.
Once the shadow detached from the giant Martial God, the giant Martial God’s face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood. But after spitting out that blood, his face regained some color.
He didn’t speak, not even having the time to thank Qin Chen, before sitting cross-legged and swallowing a pill to begin healing.
After a stick of incense, this giant Martial God stood up, his complexion much improved, even his aura becoming more robust. Still carrying a hint of fear, he clasped his hands in gratitude towards Qin Chen, saying, “Thank you, my friend, for saving my life. I am Rao Yuange, the vice president of the Tianxun Association from Tianlei City.”
“You're from the Tianxun Association?” Qin Chen was overjoyed, “You are the expert sent from Tianlei City to work with President Gongsun to break the spatial seal?”
Qin Chen was worried about having no clues, but unexpectedly encountered a vice president of the Tianxun Association. This vice president had come from deep within the Sea of Thunder, and if he was training, he wouldn’t need to risk going into such a dangerous place. It was very likely that this person was one of the experts mentioned by Ge Hongsen who had come to investigate the spatial seal.
Rao Yuange immediately exclaimed, “You’re also from Tianlei City? Came for that spatial seal? You must not go there; that seal is not a treasure but a land of demons. If you go over, there is absolutely no chance of survival. You must not go…”
At this point, his face was filled with endless fear, as if he could not escape from that terror.
Qin Chen frowned. It was ridiculous for a giant Martial God to be this frightened.
He directly took out a ninth-grade Clear Heart Pill and handed it to Rao Yuange. Rao Yuange, without suspicion, swallowed it immediately, and the terror on his face eased considerably, though he was still frightened.
“Brother Rao, what exactly is going on? I heard the major forces of Tianlei City came to break that spatial seal. Why did all the later people disappear, and even the spatial seal vanished? Where have you all gone? Where is President Gongsun?”
By now, Rao Yuange had calmed down, shaking all over suddenly, and asked in confusion, “Who are you? I don’t think I’ve seen you in Tianlei City. How do you know all this?”
Although the spatial seal was not a secret among the major forces in Tianlei City, ordinary people still had no access to it. Otherwise, news about the Holy Crystal in the Sea of Thunder would have spread long ago, causing a sensation across the entire continent.
