The dense blood-colored knife aura twisted and merged together, resembling countless sharp blades slicing in unison, making one feel a prickling sensation on their scalp and a sudden chill throughout their body.
Liu Tai and the others felt a coldness rising from their feet. Under this overwhelming knife aura, their perception was greatly limited. The martial will, once it spread out, would be torn apart by the vast blood-colored knife aura, making it impossible to coalesce.
Therefore, the moment the blood-colored sea of knives formed by Yuan Hongkong appeared, Liu Tai immediately spat out a mouthful of essence blood, burning it at once, while recklessly launching his fists forward.
The black fists collided with the towering knife aura of Yuan Hongkong, causing countless explosions. However, the terrifying true essence condensed on Liu Tai's fists was instantly shredded by the blood aura's knife light.
With a loud bang, Liu Tai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, but Yuan Hongkong's attack paused for a moment. Just as the blood aura knife light of Yuan Hongkong was about to coalesce again, Zhuo Qingfeng and the others' attacks arrived promptly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A barrage of attacks landed on Yuan Hongkong's assault, causing the blood-colored knife aura to tremble continuously, as if it could shatter at any moment. Yet, even when the last attack fell, the blood-colored knife aura ultimately remained unbroken, trembling but holding on till the end.
"Not worth a hit!"
Yuan Hongkong sneered, and the originally trembling blood-colored knife aura solidified once more, directly slashing down towards Qin Chen and the others.
With a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, he could almost see Qin Chen and the others meeting their gruesome fate, their heads severed and exploding into blood mist.
With his terrifying cultivation at the mid-stage of the seventh rank, even if Qin Chen and the others had high talent, they were merely a group of young geniuses who weren’t even half-step Martial Kings, and could never withstand this overwhelming blood-colored knife aura.
"Chen Shao!"
Liu Tai and the others cried out in shock and rage, their eyes widened in despair, yet they had no time to save him, merely watching helplessly as the blood-colored knife aura descended upon Qin Chen and the others.
"What a talent, but what a pity that he is about to die."
"These youngsters are all under twenty and already so terrifying; it's almost certain they'll become Martial Kings in the future, yet they are destined to die here today."
The crowd shook their heads, seemingly having already foreseen the fate of Qin Chen and the others under the blood-colored knife light, and yet there was no sense of regret in their hearts.
Those who are unaware of their own insignificance, if they die, they die.
As Yuan Hongkong's knife aura was about to strike Qin Chen and the others, at that moment, Qin Chen suddenly raised his head, showing no panic at all, and coldly said, "Just a mid-stage Martial King, thinking he’s the master of the Tianwu Continent? Speaking so audaciously here, unaware of his own fate!"
What?
The crowd was speechless, each one near madness, their eyes bulging out.
This kid is on the verge of death, yet he doesn't show any signs of panic and dares to say such things. Who is truly unaware of the consequences?
Could this guy be an idiot?
Before the thoughts in their minds could settle, suddenly a terrifying power descended upon the plaza, immediately causing Yuan Hongkong's descending blood-colored knife aura to collide with an invisible wall, unable to advance even a fraction.
"Who dares to interfere in the affairs of my Great Jin Dynasty? Seeking death?"
Yuan Hongkong was furious, turning his head to see an angry figure slowly approaching from the distance.
This person wore an ancient medicinal robe, dignified and grand, yet the cold murderous intent between their brows was palpable. With a casual lift of their hand, the blood-colored knife aura before Yuan Hongkong was instantly shattered, vanishing into nothingness.
