The middle-aged man, the city lord of the city lord's mansion, had a grim expression. Who was he? One of the twelve kings of the Immortal Wood Kingdom. Who dared to speak to him like that, especially a young man?
It's said that those in high positions are magnanimous and don't hold grudges. There's no one they can hold a grudge against, and those who could hold a grudge wouldn't do anything to make them hold a grudge.
However, being in a high position doesn't just cultivate magnanimity. Sometimes, it's precisely because of their high position that they develop a habit of being worshipped and having their will obeyed, let alone contradicted or despised.
The middle-aged man was like that now, furious. When people are angry, they are prone to doing rash things.
The middle-aged man charged towards Qin Chuan.
He was powerful and didn't take Qin Chuan seriously, casually attacking to kill him outright. He never showed mercy to those who dared to offend him.
Qin Chuan wore a disdainful smile. He had initially thought this man was quite good, but now he realized he had misjudged him and overestimated him.
It was normal for someone with this kind of personality to do such a thing. The dilemma he had been facing suddenly became clear.
The junior sister looked at her blood father, shook her head slightly, and all the remaining doubts in her heart disappeared. She had originally wanted to ask why, but now she didn't even want to ask.
Divine Eye Immortal Might!
Facing this middle-aged man, Qin Chuan dared not be careless. It is said that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone himself, who was neither a lion nor his opponent a rabbit.
In battle, besides strength, one also needs to consider the right time, place, and people, as well as treasures, etc. In
the end, it is the result that matters. No matter how strong you are, no matter how much stronger you are than your opponent, if you die in the end, everything is gone. Others will only know that you died and your opponent survived.
The truth will only be written by the victor, and what the victor says is the truth. If you lose, no matter how much you say, it is useless. No matter how much you say, you have already lost, and you may not even have the chance to say it anymore.
Holy Buddha Five Elements Formation!
Bang!
Qin Chuan used the Yin-Yang Hand to clash head-on with his opponent. This time, Qin Chuan did not seem to have gained an advantage, because both sides retreated a step.
Qin Chuan remained calm, but the man opposite him was shocked. He had harbored murderous intent, so even though he hadn't used his full strength, that attack still employed at least 80% of his power. Even
with that strength, he hadn't gained the upper hand.
Furthermore, his strength had been weakened, and significantly so—20% of his abilities. This was an incredibly terrifying ability, a divine skill.
What the middle-aged man found most unacceptable was that his opponent had withstood the attack and was even evenly matched with him.
How could this be? He couldn't accept it, couldn't believe it. Who was he? One of the twelve kings of the Immortal Wood Kingdom. In terms of age, he was much older than his opponent, from a different era. In
terms of cultivation level, he was far superior to this young man. Yet, despite these unequal conditions, he hadn't gained the slightest advantage.
He mustered his strength and threw a punch, finally striking something neither soft nor hard. It landed, but without the desired effect—it didn't destroy him, but it didn't injure him either.
But in his heart, it felt like hitting a steel plate, crippling him. The impact was immense.
Qin Chuan attacked again, unleashing a rapid series of Yin-Yang Hand strikes, one after another, dense and impenetrable. Each strike was as heavy as a mountain, yet felt as light as a falling leaf.
However, due to the influence of the "Great Power of the World," Qin Chuan's attacks were constantly increasing in power, along with the Yin-Yang Hand's greater Yin-Yang ability.
The "Great Power of the World" was a divine skill, even a god-slaying skill. This ability, if used properly, could even slay gods and immortals. Moreover, Qin Chuan's understanding of the "Great Power of the World" was still low; it would grow stronger over time, and its limitations would gradually lessen.
Initially, City Lord Li Wang hadn't taken Qin Chuan seriously. Although he underestimated Qin Chuan, and although Qin Chuan had given him a great surprise, he still didn't take Qin Chuan seriously. He felt that killing him wouldn't be difficult.
Moreover, he had made up his mind to eliminate this young man. Even if this young man wanted to follow him, he couldn't, because he was an unstable factor.
This young man was too monstrous, impossible to control. For someone who couldn't be controlled, there was only one way: to make him disappear. This was
a method almost all powerful figures would adopt. Of course, if it was someone from one's own family, then it required careful consideration.
For someone like Qin Chuan, who was already fighting him, killing him was the best course of action. After all, this daughter wasn't really his daughter, so whether this young man was her husband or not was irrelevant.
He also knew that Qin Chuan and his junior sister's arrival wasn't a good thing. Their first priority was rescuing her mother, and if her mother were rescued, it would be a great disgrace to the City Lord's Mansion.
Furthermore, this daughter's arrival wasn't just about rescuing her mother; she might even become an enemy of the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, no matter what, this young man couldn't be allowed to live.
City Lord Li's mind raced, weighing the consequences of this situation.
Before he knew it, dozens of moves had passed. Qin Chuan wasn't in a hurry either. Since City Lord Li wasn't in a hurry, he naturally wasn't either. In
any case, time would only become more advantageous for him. Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity. When City Lord Li came to his senses and prepared to unleash his trump card to kill Qin Chuan, he discovered something was wrong.
He suddenly felt very uncomfortable. At first, he thought it was just a minor physical ailment that would soon
subside. But he quickly realized that wasn't the case. At his level of cultivation, he shouldn't experience any discomfort, and certainly not something that had lasted for a while.
He looked at Qin Chuan, only to see calmness, still unhurried, attacking palm after palm. This time, he understood the problem. He
hadn't noticed before, but now many things had taken shape, reaching a profound point, and his confidence told him the reason.
Yin-Yang Strikes!
City Lord Li finally understood the reason. Yin-Yang Strikes weren't unusual, but this terrifying Yin-Yang Strikes was different—it was too frightening.
His body had severely lost its balance, affecting his strength, but at this moment, Qin Chuan's attacks were getting faster and faster, like a shadow.
Not only were they getting faster, but Qin Chuan's attacks were also getting more and more vicious, because the power of the world and Yin-Yang Strikes were perfectly integrated, suddenly unleashing unimaginable power.
His trump card was useless!
The middle-aged man realized with horror that he had no chance to use his trump card, and he knew that the longer it dragged on, the less chance he had.
Nine Steps Against Heaven!
Great Yin-Yang Hand!
Just as City Lord Li was gathering his strength for his trump card, hoping to change the course of the battle, Qin Chuan's ferocious attack arrived.
The more powerful a trump card is, the more time it takes to unleash its full potential. Lord Li Wang's trump card is very powerful, but it still needs time to build up its power. However, time is not an option for him; given his current physical condition, it would take him even longer to execute this trump card.
Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't give him time to unleash his trump card.
