“Did that armor shatter?”
The black-clothed Earth Venerable's expression instantly turned grim. The person who had informed him to intercept Qin Chen had clearly instructed him to leave a living target. The reason he wanted to blast Qin Chen to death was to seize the mysterious armor on his body.
But if this armor was blown apart, what would be the significance of killing Qin Chen?
Swoosh! He quickly picked up a piece of armor that had fallen into the pit and gently squeezed it. Crack! The piece of armor shattered and turned to dust.
“No, it's not the armor on that brat.”
The black-clothed Earth Venerable's expression changed drastically, and endless fury surged in his eyes.
The defensive power displayed by Qin Chen's armor previously was at least at the Earth Venerable level. Even if it were shattered, such a treasure wouldn't be so easily crushed by him. However, the piece of armor he was holding was clearly just a fragment of a worthless broken Human Venerable armor.
Could it be that the brat is not dead?
A cold light burst forth in the black-clothed Earth Venerable's eyes, and an endless rage erupted. That brat had some audacity to deceive him.
Boom! A terrifying aura erupted from the black-clothed Earth Venerable's body, causing the hard rocks at the bottom of the battlefield to explode. A dreadful spiritual aura spread out, searching for the direction in which Qin Chen had fled.
However, just as his spiritual sense spread out, he perceived a black pearl within the underground rocks and soil. Upon receiving the black-clothed Earth Venerable's spiritual aura, the pearl suddenly lit up.
Mystical runes glowed on the black pearl, giving the black-clothed Earth Venerable an incredibly terrifying feeling.
Boom! The next moment, the entire black pearl exploded, rumbling as a terrifying killing aura erupted from that small black pearl, and a dreadful black toxic gas spread out, as if countless vengeful souls were drifting before him.
Terrifying poisonous power rapidly spread toward the black-clothed Earth Venerable, attempting to seep into his body, causing a sense of dizziness in his mind.
“What!!!”
The black-clothed Earth Venerable was greatly shocked.
He hurriedly retreated, and a layer of pitch-black light membrane quickly enveloped him.
Rumble! The black pearl exploded, unleashing a destructive attack that shattered the surrounding rocks within a thousand miles into powder. The shockwave transmitted layer upon layer, even traveling nearly ten thousand miles before finally dissipating.
However, when these shockwaves struck the light membrane on the black-clothed Earth Venerable, they failed to cause him any harm whatsoever; even the light membrane on him didn’t ripple.
“Bastard!!!”
An angry roar resonated from the center of the explosion.
A figure radiating dazzling black light stood at the very core of the explosion, surrounded by swirling black energy.
“Damn it, he must die!!!”
The black-clothed Earth Venerable's small black eyes were filled with madness.
“The Blood Poison Pearl, it's only a peak Human Venerable level Blood Poison Pearl, yet it scared me.”
The black-clothed Earth Venerable raged.
He felt a strong sense of humiliation in his heart. The terrifying patterns produced at the moment of the black pearl's explosion, along with the toxin that made him feel slightly dizzy, led him to mistakenly believe that the black pearl was some kind of treasure that could harm him.
But when the black pearl completely exploded, he discovered that it was merely a Blood Poison Pearl.
Although the Blood Poison Pearl was also an extremely powerful treasure, its level was only at the peak Human Venerable tier. For an Earth Venerable expert like himself, even if the Blood Poison Pearl exploded in his hand, it couldn't inflict fatal damage on him.
Yet he was frightened by the Blood Poison Pearl and, in his panic, tried his best to resist.
“Damn it, damn it!”
The black-clothed Earth Venerable's eyes were filled with madness. His suspicion caused his reaction to slow down considerably, giving Qin Chen the time and opportunity to escape.
