The eyes of several divine guardian leaders were cold as ice. They had long been lying in ambush around the area. When Qin Chen had slain dozens of their subordinates earlier, they had already disengaged from other fights, fully concentrating their attention on Qin Chen.
However, they did not act rashly but remained hidden in the shadows, waiting until this very moment to strike, right as Qin Chen attempted to break through the True Realm of the Four Directions.
Boom!
In an instant, Qin Chen was enveloped by countless death scythes. The surrounding void was torn apart, creating numerous spatial rifts that swiftly formed a terrifying storm of death.
In broad daylight, endless spatial rifts instantly devoured Qin Chen, creating a dreadful dark vortex in this world, swallowing all tangible and intangible substances.
“Unaware of your own mortality, just an ant, and yet you dare to go against the heavens.”
The transcendent leaders spoke coldly and indifferently, standing tall in the universe, exuding a chilling aura, like asuras emerging from the depths of hell, wielding the authority of death. It must be said that they had such confidence and backing; the Tuoba Family had roamed the Southern Thirteen Star Domain for many years, conquering countless worlds and realms. As the kings of the assassination world, the number of strong individuals who had perished at the hands of their divine guardians was countless.
How could they possibly regard a young man like Qin Chen, who had just broken through to transcendence, as a threat?
“This kid should be dead by now, right? Our assassination strike contains supreme spatial techniques, capable of cutting through the starry skies, not to mention that we have joined forces. Killing such a kid is a piece of cake.”
Several figures cast their gazes into the endless void, staring at the vortex below, filled with confidence.
It should be noted that with a single cut of their scythes, they could sever the sun and moon, let alone a mere flesh-and-blood body.
As their words fell, the death vortex before their eyes suddenly exploded. At that moment, it was empty, leaving nothing behind; all matter had been annihilated.
“That kid should be reduced to ashes by now.”
One among them laughed.
However, as soon as he finished speaking—
Puff!
A sword light suddenly flashed through the void, as fast as lightning, leaving no time to react, and in an instant, it swept past this person's neck.
In the next moment, boom! His head shot straight into the sky, blood spraying into the air, his eyes bulging wide, unable to close.
Qin Chen's figure slowly emerged behind him, holding a sharp blade, like a deity.
“Poor spatial techniques, and yet you have such confidence.”
Qin Chen said apathetically.
“You…”
The others looked over in terror, their pupils contracting. When did Qin Chen arrive behind them? Why did they feel nothing at all?
“A group of scum hiding in the darkness, and yet you dare to call yourselves the kings of the night?”
Qin Chen spoke dismissively. As he finished speaking, he stomped his right foot violently into the void, and with a loud bang, the void exploded. His figure shot towards the remaining few.
“Run!” The eyes of the other divine guardians filled with terror at that moment, and an endless fear surged within them. Without a moment's hesitation, they turned and fled into the void, like shadows merging into the night, instantly vanishing from sight.
Spatial concealment technique.
This was the most powerful method of the divine guardians, allowing them to hide in the void, undetectable.
“Hmph, trying to escape?” A cold smile crept onto Qin Chen’s lips. He raised the Mysterious Rusty Sword, and boundless power instantly converged into the rusty sword in his hands, the origin of space within him activated in an instant, before he suddenly slashed down into the void ahead.
“Slash!”
Boom! The void ahead was instantly torn apart, creating a chasm that stretched for billions of miles. The edges of the chasm rippled with spatial power, and with a loud bang, the endless void before everyone’s horrified eyes shattered like a mirror.
