“Hmm?” His eyes widened, looking like two pomegranates, almost about to burst. “Damn! Damn! Damn!” He repeated the word “damn” three times, unable to express the shock within him. He saw Qin Chen swiftly advancing within his Heavenly Killing Formation, while the countless killing intents in the formation surged toward Qin Chen like a torrent. However, Qin Chen was like a fish swimming in water, completely unaffected by the killing intent, closing in on him rapidly. How is this possible? If it weren't for Xu Hantian's extraordinary identity and astonishing composure, he would have been stunned long ago. But after all, he was the master of the Earth Array Pavilion with formidable strength, and he reacted immediately, activating the formation to unleash endless killing intent, wildly sweeping toward Qin Chen.
But it was useless. As soon as the killing intent approached Qin Chen, it was blocked by an invisible force, as if Qin Chen had completely integrated into the formation, becoming part of it. The killing intent in the Heavenly Killing Formation had no effect on him whatsoever. What Xu Hantian didn’t know was that Qin Chen had already mastered the entire setup of the Heavenly Killing Formation back when he was arranging it. While the control of the formation lay in Xu Hantian's hands, for someone like Qin Chen, a peak-level formation master, just one glance was enough to identify all the flaws and loopholes in the formation.
If Xu Hantian had obtained a perfect Heavenly Killing Formation, Qin Chen might have had some headaches, but this was merely a broken formation. With Xu Hantian's level of formation, there were too many flaws for him to repair, which Qin Chen easily exploited. Buzz! He formed hand seals, and an invisible force surged forth, seizing the loopholes in the formation, attacking Xu Hantian. “Death Sword Technique!”
Swish! A bright sword light illuminated the entire side hall, and amidst the terrifying sword energy, a dense killing aura transformed into a towering sword intent, charging straight at Xu Hantian. “Humph! Block it for me!” Xu Hantian coldly snorted, extending his right hand. From nowhere, a pitch-black fist glove appeared on his palm, with black true essence swirling around it. Boom! A fist shadow that resembled a mountain roared out, powerful and overwhelming, shaking heaven and earth. “Boom!”
The sword energy collided with the fist shadow, resulting in an earth-shattering roar. The powerful shockwave swept out, and Qin Chen activated the Immortal Saint Body, forcibly bracing against the terrifying impact. At the same time, his left hand formed a fist, striking out like lightning. “Killing Fist Technique!” Boundless rules of slaughter surged forth, as Qin Chen condensed endless killing intent into a single point. The Nine Star God Emperor Art within him circulated, combined with the dreadful Immortal Saint Body, releasing a hurricane-like killing fist shadow that merged into the dispersed fist shadow of Xu Hantian.
In terms of cultivation, Xu Hantian far surpassed Qin Chen, but in terms of physical strength, Xu Hantian was even weaker than Qin Chen. After resisting the terrifying sword energy that Qin Chen had unleashed, his face turned pale, struggling to hold on, when he suddenly felt an even more terrifying killing fist aura sweeping toward him. The overwhelming killing intent made Xu Hantian's hair stand on end, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. “Vanguard Array Armor!”
In the crisis, Xu Hantian bellowed, and a set of pitch-black armor suddenly appeared on him, with array patterns and runes emerging from the armor. These patterns quickly lit up, extremely mysterious and unfathomable, forming a terrifying defense that blocked in front of him. “Boom!”
Another thunderous sound erupted as Xu Hantian was struck squarely by Qin Chen's killing fist intent, sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall of the side hall with a resounding bang, producing a harsh creaking sound. His Vanguard Array Armor flickered repeatedly, finally managing to block Qin Chen’s killing fist intent after several attempts, but his internal energy was still churning, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. “How could this be? This kid's strength…” Xu Hantian's expression was shocked and he couldn't believe that he had been so simply injured by such a young fellow. His heart suffered an unprecedented blow.
