They had no idea that it wasn't Elder Longyuan's inability to resist, but rather that he was completely unable to fight back.
"You!"
In the arena space, Elder Longyuan felt dizzy, with half of his face swelling from a single punch. His vision darkened, but after all, he was an experienced Peak Earth Venerable, and he quickly regained his composure. Reflecting on the scenes from before, he instantly erupted in fury.
Damn it!
In front of everyone, he had actually been slapped in the face. His old face was utterly humiliated!
"Qin Chen, you..." He trembled with rage, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood. There were rules in fighting; hitting someone’s face was too excessive.
Boom!
A surge of vast Dao power roared from him, and terrifying heavenly rules surged as he became truly enraged. Previously, he had no knowledge of Qin Chen's strength, so despite being on guard, he had still been somewhat careless. Now, after a single attack, he realized that Qin Chen's power exceeded his imagination. If he continued to be lax, he would definitely be in danger.
This time, he directly activated his Peak Earth Venerable essence, and a torrent of Dao power erupted like an ocean, sweeping out and transforming into a magnificent river.
"Kid, it’s your turn to suffer now."
Elder Longyuan roared within himself, as tremendous power gathered. Just as he prepared to retaliate, the very space in front of him trembled like a tsunami. In the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared before him.
It was Qin Chen! Qin Chen activated Millennium Light, moving at lightning speed; he was too fast for Elder Longyuan to react.
"Elder Longyuan is indeed an experienced elder, with incredible defense. Take another punch from me."
Qin Chen shouted, his voice booming like thunder, but his eyes contained a sharpness mixed with a hint of mockery.
Space binding.
Endless space collapsed, and Elder Longyuan felt the void around him suddenly constrict. It felt as if countless neutron stars were pressing in from all directions, causing him to be completely immobilized.
In the next instant, Qin Chen's fist struck fiercely against Elder Longyuan's terrified nose.
Puff!
Blood splattered, and this time, Elder Longyuan's entire nose was smashed, blood covering his face. He looked utterly tragic, and with a loud crash, he was sent flying, the rules of light flickering around him, and the Dao nearly collapsing.
"Ah!"
Elder Longyuan screamed, this was excruciatingly painful. An overwhelming force surged into his nose, shaking his mind; he felt like his head was about to explode.
At this moment, it was as if a hundred large bells were ringing in his mind, nearly causing him to lose consciousness. His body was dragged heavily across the arena, leaving a deep mark.
Fortunately, this arena was extremely sturdy, forged from Great Profound Refined Iron and integrated with Stellar Core, and equipped with numerous formidable defensive formations. Otherwise, even a star could have been used to obliterate Elder Longyuan's body.
In the distance, many elders stared blankly at the scene, dumbfounded.
How could Elder Longyuan, a Peak Earth Venerable expert, not resist?
"Is Elder Longyuan out of his mind?
He didn't resist even twice?"
One elder muttered, unable to comprehend.
Even if Qin Chen's speed was incredibly fast, with Elder Longyuan's strength, he should have been able to react, right?
Moreover, they could see it clearly from the outside; Elder Longyuan clearly had the ability to respond! Yet he seemed to be acting like a fool, allowing Qin Chen to land such brutal punches. His face looked like a patchwork quilt—red, black, blue, and purple, all in disarray.
"This... this..." The True Word Earth Venerable and Venerable Radiant Light were also dumbstruck. They were among the few who understood Qin Chen's strength the most. Yet to them, Qin Chen's power seemed just slightly stronger than Elder Gu Xu, perhaps even surpassing Elder Yehe, but not by much. How could he render Elder Longyuan completely incapable of reacting?
