In terms of cultivation, they were merely mid-stage supreme, much weaker than Pojun. In terms of status, Pojun’s dark royal family aura could completely suppress them.
From any angle, it was impossible to resist.
A terrifying power rolled down like a collapsing heaven and earth, aiming to annihilate the two of them directly.
At this critical moment, a stern voice suddenly echoed.
“Pojun, your opponent is me.”
In the midst of danger, a figure suddenly appeared.
It was Qin Chen.
He stood firmly in front of Pojun's attack, blocking the strike.
With a loud bang, Qin Chen was directly knocked away, his body almost exploding, covered in wounds, his breath weak and almost on the verge of collapse.
Visible to the naked eye, countless cracks appeared on Qin Chen’s body, blood spurting out, incredibly tragic.
“Master.”
Sikong Zhen and Linyuan Supreme’s expressions were shocked as they exclaimed.
The master was injured so severely for their sake?
Dark Thunder Ancestor and the others were also stunned.
It was hard to believe.
Could there really be such foolish royal family members in this world?
Willing to take the attack for their subordinates?
This—was too foolish!
It was almost unimaginable.
It must be known that the Dark Continent was a realm that survived from the cycle of destruction in the universe, where strong figures were numerous and forces were widespread. But every person was thinking about how to protect themselves.
This was a ruthless continent.
Heaven and earth were indifferent, treating all creatures as mere fodder.
The heavenly dao was the most ruthless of all, it wouldn’t spare your life just because you had feelings, nor would it punish you just because you were heartless.
The heavenly dao had no emotions; it represented the operation of heaven and earth, the birth and death of matter.
To destroy you, what does it matter?
This is the heavenly dao.
Thus, in the Dark Continent, everyone was extremely heartless. Having experienced the destruction of that era, having grown accustomed to the annihilation of worlds, they abandoned all emotions that could be discarded in pursuit of reaching a higher pinnacle.
Family ties, love, friendship.
All of these could be forsaken.
Only to ascend to the peak of martial arts.
As for subordinates, they were merely tools for sacrifice.
Yet now, Qin Chen's actions deeply shocked them, causing their hearts to endure unprecedented turmoil.
“What are you still doing?
Why aren’t you leaving quickly?”
Having blocked Pojun’s attack, Qin Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and roared at Sikong Zhen and Linyuan Supreme.
“Remember, you must live, you must return alive.”
Qin Chen spoke sternly. However, he turned around, resolutely facing Pojun, his body towering like a mountain, steadfastly protecting Sikong Zhen and Linyuan Supreme, unyielding and determined.
Sikong Zhen and Linyuan Supreme had tears in their eyes as they watched Qin Chen’s back. Although his figure was not grand, it felt like a Heavenly Pillar, firmly etched in their minds, never to be erased.
“We will obey the master’s orders.”
As the words fell, the two of them crazily burned their essence. Boom! Without looking back, they charged directly toward the Dark Forbidden Area’s outskirts.
For their master, they too had to live, to leave alive.
“Seeking death.”
Pojun roared, attacking once again. With a thunderous sound, endless killing intent surged, the rules retreating as he directly suppressed them.
“Pojun, your opponent is me.”
Qin Chen let out a long howl, sword qi soaring into the sky. In that moment, he seemed to merge with the Mysterious Rusty Sword, becoming one with it, shooting out explosively.
Boom! Sword qi pierced through the clouds, cutting across the nine heavens. Qin Chen burned the dark king blood, firmly withstanding Pojun’s attack, preventing him from harming Sikong Zhen and the others.
Sikong Zhen and Linyuan Supreme had to live.
It wasn’t that Qin Chen had developed feelings for the Dark Clan, but rather that only if Sikong Zhen and Linyuan Supreme survived could the secrets of Lord Indra be leaked, causing complete turmoil within the Dark Clan.
