Before she could take action, Qin Chen stepped forward with a light smile and blocked her.
"Young master," Lady Sikong immediately turned around and said.
This title caused Emperor Shihen to frown again, looking at Qin Chen with confusion. Was Lady Sikong just putting on an act, or was there something to it?
Qin Chen appeared extremely ordinary, with no signs of anything special about him.
Qin Chen smiled at the Heart-Eater Demon and said lightly to Lady Sikong, "Although you are my maid, how could you possibly take action against such a disgusting person?"
Qin Chen's smile was carefree, as if he were discussing something trivial. He wasn’t used to having a woman stand in front of him.
"It seems you are seeking death," the Heart-Eater Demon shouted angrily, suddenly lunging toward Qin Chen with a fierce grip.
"You dare to be disrespectful to Emperor Shihen? Today, this seat will make you wish you were dead!"
With a wave of his hand, a terrifying dark power instantly transformed into a massive python that surged toward Qin Chen.
This python was covered in pitch-black scales, emanating waves of foul stench, as if it had emerged from a place of decaying corpses. It was utterly disgusting.
"Heart-Eating Corruption Serpent!" Many people screamed, frightened and hastily retreating, wanting to get as far away as possible. No one wanted to be bitten by the Heart-Eating Corruption Serpent; the consequences would be unbearable.
This serpent was a soul serpent raised by the Heart-Eater Demon. Many people from the ten thousand clans had suffered endless torment, being devoured by this serpent and eventually turned into nothingness.
"Be careful!" Lady Sikong's expression changed as she quickly warned.
"Where did this little insect come from?"
However, Qin Chen remained calm. He flipped his right hand, using it as a sword, and suddenly struck out with a sword.
With a loud bang, a terrifying sword light erupted into the sky, spreading rapidly and instantly slashing the Heart-Eating Corruption Serpent in half, causing it to explode with a resounding crash.
The Heart-Eating Corruption Serpent let out a shrill roar.
What?
Everyone was taken aback. The Heart-Eater Demon's serpent was actually blasted apart by this person with a single sword strike?
One must know that the Heart-Eater Demon was a late-stage heavenly venerable, a top-tier expert on the Black Jade Continent.
"You dare to harm my serpent; you are seeking death!"
The Heart-Eater Demon glared fiercely, raising his hand to strike again. Countless waves of demonic energy surged forth, forming over a dozen Heart-Eating Corruption Serpents that lunged at Qin Chen.
"The one seeking death is probably you," Qin Chen chuckled lightly.
Buzz!
He lifted his right hand and struck out with another sword.
The moment this sword was unleashed, the entire world seemed to lose its color.
The Heart-Eater Demon squinted his eyes; at that moment, he felt a strong sense of crisis. He had not expected Qin Chen to possess such power.
However, his reaction was quick. He shouted loudly, "Heart-Eat!"
Buzz!
Countless dark energies coalesced around him, forming a terrifying dark shield that instantly protected him.
Boom!
A wave of dark sword light suddenly erupted, instantly shattering the boundless darkness. The countless Heart-Eating Corruption Serpents let out a shrill scream, turning to ash under Qin Chen's sword light.
At the same time, the dark shield in front of the Heart-Eater Demon exploded, causing him to stagger backward, spitting out blood.
Boom!
The void behind him shattered, unable to withstand the force.
This single sword strike left all the experts present gasping in shock.
So powerful.
A late-stage heavenly venerable like the Heart-Eater Demon was actually sent flying by this person with a single sword strike. Who was he?
"You..."
The Heart-Eater Demon looked shocked and angry, finding it hard to believe.
Boom!
A pitch-black aura ignited around him, making his face twist into a terrifying grimace, with the pus-filled sores on his face writhing grotesquely.
