Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Qin Yin’s Doubts

Everyone around was shocked, their eyes dumbfoundedly focused on Ji Chen, their hearts filled with astonishment.

Because they all knew very well how powerful this ancient beast was, its hard scale armor was difficult even for a Holy Weapon to cut through.

The Nine Dragon True Body struggled to resist its offensive only after a moment of battle.

Facing such a demon beast, unless one has an Emperor’s Artifact in hand, it’s nearly impossible to resist.

But now, a young man in white suddenly appeared here, and with just a single punch, he sent the ancient beast flying off into the distance. Its massive body crashed heavily against a mountain, causing that area to collapse.

Ji Chen.

A name they were not particularly familiar with.

Compared to a heavenly prodigy like Qin Yin, Ji Chen’s reputation seemed much less prominent.

After all, strictly speaking, he had only joined the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion for two years, although he had achieved considerable outstanding victories, but among the Nine Great Star Domains, very few had truly heard of his name.

"Roar!"

From the ground in the distance, the ancient beast crawled out from the pile of rubble, shook its head, and its scarlet eyes glared towards Ji Chen.

After a roar, it moved swiftly, rushing towards Ji Chen, as if completely enraged.

"Be careful, young friend!"

Some powerful figures from the Qin family shouted in alarm, quickly reminding him, including Qin Yin, who reacted immediately, hurriedly shouting, "Brother Ji, retreat quickly, this beast’s physical strength is immense, you mustn’t engage in close combat with it."

"Boom!"

However, Ji Chen paid no heed to their warnings.

He stood quietly on the spot, only moved when the ancient beast approached him.

His tightly clenched fist suddenly struck out, causing the space in front to tremble violently, smashing heavily onto the body of the ancient beast.

The loud sound echoed, reaching everyone’s ears, the momentum extremely astonishing, as if two mountains had collided fiercely, shaking the entire land at that moment.

In the next instant, everyone could see that after Ji Chen’s punch, the ancient beast was once again sent flying.

Two consecutive collisions, both times Ji Chen held the upper hand, this undoubtedly stunned everyone present.

"Such terrifying physical power!"

"The ancient beast that even the Holy Weapons and the Young Master’s Nine Dragon True Body couldn’t contend with, was actually repelled by him twice in a row?"

Many powerful figures from the Qin family couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

But the most astonished was Qin Yin.

He had truly faced the ancient beast head-on, knowing how formidable its defenses were.

Even with the Nine Dragon True Body, he struggled to withstand its force.

But now, Ji Chen faced this ancient beast with such ease and calmness, which undoubtedly completely surprised him.

When Ji Chen went to the Qin family earlier, Qin Wenchang immediately saw through his strength of the Great Saint Realm.

Qin Yin was astonished, not expecting there to be such a king in the younger generation he had never heard of.

But in this Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range, even though he possessed the Nine Dragon True Body, his cultivation was suppressed from the Great Saint Realm to the Quasi-Saint, and he assumed Ji Chen was likely the same.

Yet the events unfolding before his eyes made Qin Yin realize that Ji Chen’s cultivation was not suppressed, and moreover, the other likely possessed some unknown special physique.

This special physique was even much stronger than his own Nine Dragon True Body!

"Is that Ji Chen? The one from the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion?"

"It’s said he possesses the Hongmeng Body, one of the Nine Great Divine Bodies of the Daoxuan Desolate Ancient, unexpectedly powerful!"

Around them, those who had heard of Ji Chen from the Nine Great Star Domains spoke out like this.

Qin Yin, who had spent years in Divine River City without much contact with the Nine Great Star Domains, didn’t know of Ji Chen, which was normal.

But those cultivators from the Nine Great Star Domains had more or less heard of the reputation of the Hongmeng Body.

More knowledgeable ones said, "It’s heard that he recently returned to Daoxuan and single-handedly obliterated Cyan Cloud Valley, which appeared in Daoxuan from the Divine Martial Star Realm, slaying two Great Saints!"

"Slaying two Great Saints?!"

The instant these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

In the current younger generation, those who’ve reached the Great Saint Realm are few and far between.

Not to mention, achieving such age to personally kill two Great Saints.

With such battle achievements, he’s no ordinary being, destined to be a king of this world in the future.

Qin Yin was equally amazed.

Having a Great Saint Realm cultivation himself, he knew how difficult it was to kill a Great Saint Realm expert.

When two Great Saints fought, victory and defeat were not hard to determine, but actually obliterating the opponent was absolutely not a simple task.

Because anyone who reached the Great Saint Realm Level, when fighting to the death, could unleash an extremely terrifying potential.

Yet Ji Chen could slay two of them, such prominent battle achievements, even Qin Yin hadn’t ever had.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

And just as they were astonished, not far ahead in the void, Ji Chen was already entangled in battle with the ancient beast.

Relying on the powerful physical power of the Hongmeng Body, it took less than a moment for Ji Chen to completely gain the upper hand.

He unleashed Holy Techniques in a fierce barrage, using both fists and palms, repeatedly driving the ancient beast back.

"Hm?"

And this scene made Qin Yin below furrow his brows in bewilderment, his eyes showing doubt and surprise, murmuring to himself, "It’s strange, why do these Holy Techniques he’s using resemble my Qin family’s Holy Techniques?"

It wasn’t Qin Yin’s illusion, but at this moment, the Martial Techniques Ji Chen was exhibiting indeed partly belonged to the Qin family.

But differently, these Martial Techniques had been passed down through numerous generations, differing from those now possessed by the Qin family.

Simply put, the Martial Techniques Ji Chen used were entirely authentic and flawless from the Qin family.

Whereas in Qin Yin’s generation, many of the Qin family’s Martial Techniques passed down had lost their Daoist lineage or were incomplete.

Therefore, when Ji Chen used these Martial Techniques, they didn’t appear the same as Qin Yin recognized.

But fundamentally, they were roughly the same, which made Qin Yin puzzled and confused.

More importantly, the Holy Techniques Ji Chen exhibited were almost all secret arts of the Qin family, only meant for direct lineage disciples to study, including two Martial Techniques with high levels of difficulty. Even till now, Qin Yin had never successfully cultivated them.

"Crack!"

And facing his doubt, evidently, no one around could provide an answer, up in the high sky, the battle continued, but the situation had long favored Ji Chen.

Under his relentless attacks, the ancient beast’s protective hard scale armor finally began to crumble, gradually cracking under Ji Chen’s repeated punches.
