Southern Origin City, as a neutral city, has experienced quite a few conflicts and battles throughout the ages, but most of these were merely small skirmishes.
Although there have always been dark forces secretly killing and plundering, such incidents were often concealed, leading to the disappearance of millions of people in certain areas over epochs.
Or perhaps during specific periods, one or several medium-sized families would suddenly be exterminated, with the culprits vanishing without a trace, despite the city lord's repeated searches.
There were also occasions where top-tier forces fought over territory, causing significant upheaval, such as during the rise of Left Skeleton, one of the ten dark forces, which stirred quite a commotion in its region.
However, these were merely localized disturbances.
Since Qin Chen's arrival in Southern Origin City not long ago, various events have been stirring up the city, leaving the citizens increasingly numb to the chaos.
“What has happened this time?”
In the vast expanse of the city, many powerful figures from various forces soared into the sky, hovering in mid-air while gazing toward the cave dwelling in the Origin Armor District.
Among them were the Eternal Pavilion Master, Chu Yue Li, and Lord Guai Xin, their eyes narrowing as they observed the far distance.
What they saw was...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a colossal divine body lay across the entire Origin Armor District, exuding an ancient and chilling aura. Even from afar, the overwhelming pressure emanating from it felt as solid as a physical entity, causing everyone to tremble involuntarily.
Peak Great Emperor!
Such a terrifying aura could only belong to a peak great emperor, and from the looks of it, the figure seemed to have been directly blasted out from Qin Chen's cave dwelling.
“It’s the Great Saint of the Peak!”
Lord Guai Xin and the steward exchanged glances, both gasping in shock.
Was this the Great Saint of the Peak who had attempted a sneak attack only to be thrown out?
Their eyes held a mixture of surprise and delight.
“Hmph, you are quite bold to dare attack this emperor. Who sent you to assassinate me?!”
Boom!
As everyone was in shock, a cold voice resonated from the shattered cave dwelling, followed by a figure slowly soaring out—it was Qin Chen.
His gaze was indifferent, his expression calm, and beside him, Saroya closely followed, her eyes ablaze, excitedly staring at the Great Saint of the Peak, a crystalline liquid trickling from the corner of her mouth.
“Quick!”
The Great Saint of the Peak hastily stood up, his face a mask of anger. He instantly swallowed a Healing Emperor Elixir, and soon, the shattered muscles in his arm visibly began to heal.
“Hmm?”
Qin Chen squinted, surprised to find that this assassin actually had such elixirs on him.
While the Great Saint of the Peak repaired his body, his icy gaze swept over the numerous strong figures from Southern Origin City who were watching from a distance, his eyes filled with a hawk-like ferocity.
This was a great humiliation; he had never endured such disgrace throughout his history of assassination.
“Not talking? Then I shall capture you and personally interrogate you.”
Seeing the Great Saint of the Peak remain silent, Qin Chen lost interest in idle chatter. He extended his hand, transforming it into a great canopy, and ruthlessly struck toward the Great Saint of the Peak.
It was as if he was swatting at a fly.
“You are too arrogant.”
The Great Saint of the Peak growled, his eyes cold. In an instant, his figure suddenly became blurry.
Buzz!
In a moment, dozens of silhouettes appeared in the air, each radiating a terrifying aura. Each of these figures was like a real body, launching a horrific strike toward Qin Chen.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
The void shook as the enraged Great Saint of the Peak unleashed numerous attacks imbued with terrifying might, combining them with the myriad paths of the universe, all merging in an instant before appearing right in front of Qin Chen.
