Chapter 411: Qin Yuan Defeated
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Unknowingly, Su Chen had already become a saint. Not only had he become a saint, but he had also defeated Qin Ziteng in one move.
One had to know that in addition to being Qin Yuan’s father, Qin Ziteng had another identity – the patriarch of the Qin family! The patriarch was the face of the family and the position could not be held by anyone less than the best in the clan. When Qin Ziteng was young, not to mention in the entire Qin family, even across the entire continent, there were few who could compare with him.
Logically speaking, now that Qin Ziteng had become a saint, his strength should have become even more terrifying and unfathomable. But today, this was not reflected at all. On the contrary, he could not withstand even one move from Su Chen. In this way, Su Chen’s shadow loomed larger in the hearts of countless people, filling them with awe and reverence, as if looking up at a towering mountain.
“Is this Su Chen?” Qin Yuan stood on the ground, looking up at the sky. A sense of helplessness rose in his heart. If Qin Hao had only just shattered his belief in victory, then Su Chen was like a mountain weighing down his heart, leaving him breathless.
His intuition told him that he would likely never surpass Su Chen in this lifetime. Not only could he not surpass Su Chen, but for the rest of his life he might not even catch a glimpse of Su Chen’s back.
“He defeated the Saint Realm Qin Ziteng with one move…” someone exclaimed at this moment.
There were many who guessed the same. After all, the combat strength Su Chen had displayed was simply unbelievable. If his true form had defeated Qin Ziteng in one move, those present would only have marveled at Su Chen’s extraordinary might in recent years. But now, with just a phantom, he had defeated the Saint Realm Qin Ziteng in one move… This was somewhat far-fetched.
There were probably not many across the continent who could accomplish this feat. However, each would at least be of the Great Saint Realm or even the Saint King Realm. As for Su Chen… he seemed to fit this description rather well. Yet no one dared to be certain, as they could not fathom Su Chen’s depths at all.
“It’s hard to say. Senior Su Chen became a saint not long ago. To reach the Great Saint Realm in just a year or two is nearly impossible,” someone said. “Unless he obtained some heaven-defying opportunity!”
“I’m more inclined to think Senior Su Chen’s original combat strength is formidable, which led to this outcome. Perhaps he has already reached the point where he can rely on his Saint Realm cultivation to defeat a Great Saint Realm expert!” a Holy Lord remarked solemnly.
Everyone knew that the higher one’s cultivation level, the more difficult cross-level challenges became. For a saint to defeat a great saint… such a thing had only transpired a few times in history. While rare, it was not entirely unheard of. Who could guarantee the current Su Chen would be unable to defeat Great Saint Realm experts while at the Saint Realm?
“I remember now!” At this moment, an old man’s eyes lit up excitedly as he exclaimed, “If I recall correctly, outside the Imperial City of Dashang, Senior Su Chen single-handedly defeated two saints of the Dashang Empire, as well as a dark creature! At that time, Senior Su Chen had only been a saint for half a year! After such a period, given Senior Su Chen’s talent, it’s normal for his strength to increase substantially.”
Hearing these words, everyone present was rendered speechless. Although he spoke reasonably, Su Chen’s growth had far exceeded everyone’s expectations. Now he could match a Great Saint Realm expert. In a few years, even Great Saint Realm experts would have no confidence in facing Su Chen.
By then, only Saint King Realm masters would be able to contend with Su Chen. No wonder the Sixth Ancestor of the Qin family was so wary of Su Chen. It seemed everything that had been inexplicable was now perfectly clear.
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen, are you appeased now?” the Sixth Ancestor said, looking at Su Chen with an unfriendly expression. No matter what, Qin Ziteng was still the Qin family’s patriarch. To be defeated by Su Chen’s will today was like a resounding slap in the face for the Qin family. It would be a ghostly sight if the Sixth Ancestor bore this graciously.
“I have never been angry, so how could I be appeased?” Su Chen replied mildly, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly as he glanced at the Sixth Ancestor. “I came today because 1 cannot abide the Qin family bullying the weak.”
“Haha…” The Sixth Ancestor laughed coldly and continued, “Ziteng should not have attacked just now. 1 already stopped him, and now you have injured him. In my opinion, let us forget about today’s matters.”
With these words, the Sixth Ancestor indicated he did not wish to continue further. Their Qin family had already chosen to silently swallow this loss. However, what the Sixth Ancestor did not expect was that Su Chen had no intention of letting them off lightly.
“Fellow Daoist seems to have forgotten the outcome of today’s battle remains undecided. Neither Qin Hao nor Qin Yuan have conceded defeat. How can we stop here?” Su Chen said.
“Hmm?” Hearing Su Chen’s words, the Sixth Ancestor’s heart sank. He looked at Qin Yuan nearby and his heart dropped to the pit of his stomach. Qin Ziteng and Qin Yuan had stood together earlier. Although Su Chen targeted only Qin Ziteng, Qin Yuan was also affected. Half his body was nearly destroyed.
Qin Yuan’s condition was likely even worse than Qin Hao’s now. Additionally, Qin Yuan was previously no match for Qin Hao at all. If they continued fighting, Qin Yuan would only humiliate himself further.
“I will make the decision on this matter,” the Sixth Ancestor said heavily after taking a deep breath and looking deeply at Qin Yuan. Glancing around, he spoke slowly, “Today’s battle is Qin Yuan’s… defeat!”
As the Sixth Ancestor’s last word fell, Qin Yuan nearby visibly wilted. He understood that despite his Longevity Immortal Body and Mystic Eyes – two peerless talents, he was still inferior to Qin Hao who possessed no talent at all. This was an enormous blow to his reputation. From today onward, few would take him seriously.
Even, the Qin family behind him would suffer tremendous losses because of this. Originally, he had hoped to take advantage of the chaotic situation and secure at least a draw. That way, in the future, he could fight Qin Hao again. But now, because of Su Chen’s words, all his fantasies were thoroughly shattered.
Losing to another was one thing, but losing to Qin Hao of all people! The other party was just a rogue cultivator who had never obtained any precious resources and was much younger. Endless unwillingness and hatred surged in Qin Yuan’s heart. His gaze toward Su Chen also grew icy.. Everything that happened today could be said to be all because Su Chen’s arrival brought about such a shocking reversal!
