Before Qin Chen, he had already captured a glimpse of the essence of the giant hammer's phantom and was filled with anticipation.
“Do you think the ones who killed me can leave here unscathed?”
At this moment, a cold voice rang out, causing Qin Chen to momentarily stop, and he turned back to look at the young master of the Xue family, revealing a strong expression of sarcasm: “Is that so-called big city young master really as shameless as you?”
“Indeed shameless enough.”
Aoqing Ling was also furious: “Xue Xingyun, it was you who ordered your subordinate to kill Qin Chen, yet your subordinate was outmatched and was killed by Qin Chen instead. You dare to say such things? Isn’t that too insulting to everyone present?”
“I don’t care about that. All I know is that anyone who kills someone from my Tianyue City must pay with their life.”
Xue Xingyun spoke coldly, a terrifying battle intent erupted from his body, faintly suggesting that he aimed to kill Qin Chen on the spot.
If Qin Chen was allowed to leave here alive today, that would be a disgrace for Tianyue City.
Qin Chen had killed his people; regardless of the circumstances, he had to eliminate Qin Chen. Otherwise, what would happen to the reputation of Tianyue City?
If this got out, others would only think of him as weak.
And if he killed Qin Chen, others would only remember the prestige and strength of Tianyue City, not the fact that they were breaking rules. In this world of martial arts, there are no rules; whoever is strong can dictate the rules.
“You insult me with your words, and even killed a disciple of my Spirit Sword Sect, and you expect to leave just like that?”
At this moment, Yun Qingzhu also spoke up. Several powerful members of the Spirit Sword Sect stepped forward, their sword intent howling in the air, causing everyone to feel an overwhelming pressure descend upon them.
“That’s right. You want to establish your authority without any consequences, yet dare to insult the young masters of our major cities. Who gave you the courage and audacity?”
Gu Qizun, the young master of Guyu City, also stepped forward, his gaze icy, surrounded by endless killing intent.
“You are truly shameless.”
Aoqing Ling said angrily.
Both Xue Xingyun and Gu Qizun were Earth Saints, yet they teamed up against Qin Chen; this was too much.
“This is my Cang Xuan City, and you cannot run amok here.”
Aoqing Ling shouted angrily.
“Is that so?”
Xue Xingyun squinted his eyes and coldly said: “Aoqing Ling, considering you are the young lady of Cang Xuan City, I won't hold your mistakes against you. Now, you all step aside. Although this is Cang Xuan City, the dignity of Tianyue City cannot be questioned. Don’t you see that no one is here to maintain order?”
“Hmph, we are only looking for that kid; this has nothing to do with you.”
Gu Qizun from Guyu City also coldly retorted.
“Step aside, this is a private matter between my Spirit Sword Sect and that kid. I advise you not to get involved.”
Yun Qingzhu also scolded.
The crowd was shaken; the three top powers were all targeting Qin Chen. Did they intend to put him to death?
Originally, everyone was in shock over Qin Chen, but now they could only sigh.
This child was too arrogant, thinking that killing someone from Tianyue City would be enough?
It wouldn’t be; the young talents of the major forces would never allow an outsider to challenge their authority.
They respected Qin Chen and knew he was strong, but both Xue Xingyun and Gu Qizun were already Earth Saints. They came here only to seek baptism. No matter how strong Qin Chen was, he could not possibly be their opponent.
What a pity that such a genius would fall here.
Aoqing Ling's expression also became ugly. She looked up at the sky, knowing her father must be watching, yet throughout this time, he had not spoken or appeared.
“Miss Aoqing Ling, step aside quickly; I would not want to hurt you.”
Xue Xingyun said coldly. This was Cang Xuan City, and he naturally did not wish to harm Aoqing Ling. If it were elsewhere, he wouldn’t care about her opinion.
