"Good kid, you have some skills. No wonder you could kill my son, Nian Wuji."
Pulling Qin Feng in front of him, Nian Shuo's gaze was icy.
He hadn't expected that Nian Wuji's cultivation was not at the mid-Heaven Level, but rather at the late-Heaven Level.
In the entire hundred-year history of the five countries in the northwest, there were very few who could reach the late-Heaven Level at this age, and almost every one of them could become a strong practitioner among the Mystic Level martial artists.
What a talented kid.
The stronger Qin Feng became, the more Nian Shuo was convinced that it was this Qin Feng who had killed his son.
"Has this guy broken through again?"
In the crowd, Qin Chen was also slightly surprised.
He knew very well that during the initial trials of the five countries, Qin Feng's cultivation was still at the mid-Heaven Level. Obviously, in the more than half a month since returning to the Da Qi Kingdom, he had broken through once again.
Even Qin Chen couldn't help but be amazed. One had to say that Qin Feng's talent was indeed very high, not at all undeserved.
Although he could not compare to those strong practitioners from the Martial Domain, he was definitely a monstrous existence in the five countries of the northwest.
"Qin Chen, hurry and take this opportunity to leave. Otherwise, after killing Qin Feng, his target will be you."
Unlike Qin Chen's considerations, Chu Weichen was worried about Qin Chen's safety.
Even a strong practitioner like Zhao Zhen was no match for Nian Shuo's single strike.
Though his strength was slightly greater than Zhao Zhen's, he still didn't have any confidence in stopping the opponent.
"Young Master, it would be better for you to leave quietly. We'll help you hold him off."
Liang Yu, Qin Yuanzhi, and others also secretly reminded him.
"No need."
They initially thought Qin Chen would agree immediately, but to their surprise, Qin Chen actually refused.
"Don't act impulsively."
Chu Weichen and the others were anxious in their hearts but didn't dare to show it on their faces, fearing that Nian Shuo would notice their unease.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans."
Qin Chen shook his head, his expression resolute.
With a strong practitioner like Nian Shuo, how could he not notice here? If he didn't move, it would be fine, but once he did, the opponent would definitely target him. At that time, Chu Academy Head and the others might not be able to stop the opponent, which would be even more dangerous.
Moreover, by now, Zhao Gao should have received the news. If he really wanted to make a move, reinforcements should be close by.
Rather than leave now, it would be better to stay here and deal with whatever comes.
Nian Shuo's hand was raised high, hovering above Qin Feng's head.
He only needed to drop it lightly to kill Qin Feng.
"When you killed my son Wuji, did you ever think there would be this moment?" Nian Shuo's eyes flickered with hatred.
"No, it wasn't me. Nian Wuji was killed by Qin Chen."
Even though he was proud inside, faced with death, Qin Feng finally couldn't maintain his usual calmness, revealing a look of panic in his eyes.
He was still young and didn't want to die.
"It wasn't you who killed him? Do you think I would believe that? Among the geniuses of the five countries in the northwest, you are the most likely to have killed Wuji. As for that Qin Chen, rest assured, after you die, he will die too."
Nian Shuo wouldn't let himself have any regrets. Since both had suspicions, both had to die.
Moreover, he was slightly puzzled in his heart. He had sent Li Yang and Zuo Dao to assassinate Qin Chen before; how come the latter was fine while Li Yang and Zuo Dao had vanished without a trace?
But he didn't think too much about it. Perhaps Li Yang and Zuo Dao saw that there were many experts here and didn't have time to make a move, planning to go back and report to him but missed him instead.
The urgent matter was to kill Qin Feng first.
Boom!
A terrifying true energy gathered within him, and the palm of Nian Shuo radiated astonishing pressure. The intensity of that aura was such that, let alone Qin Feng, even a Mystic Level martial artist would be instantaneously killed, their body and head separated.
