We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

The group of people appearing ahead were none other than Old Hu and his companions on their return journey.

They had noticed Zhao Da's presence long ago.

With such a large and imposing force rushing towards them, it would be difficult not to notice them.

Before the enemy could get close, Ji Ming's guards were already on high alert, standing in front of him and staring coldly at Zhao Da.

Upon hearing Zhao Da's plea for help, Ji Ming looked at Old Hu and asked, "Old Hu, do you know him?"

Old Hu nodded, looked away, recognized Zhao Da, and replied, "Your Highness, I encountered this person when I was traveling before."

This person once helped me solve a minor problem, but I remember he had six brothers, each with extraordinary strength, all at the Longevity Realm.

I never expected him to ask me for help; it seems he's in big trouble.

Although his strength is not as good as mine, the seven of them working together are a force even I cannot match.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, we should pretend we don't know each other."

The two were not close, but Old Hu could tell something from Zhao Da's miserable appearance.

Although I don't know what happened, I do know that the other party is in considerable trouble.

Now that he has become Ji Ming's bodyguard, he should prioritize Ji Ming's safety and not want to cause unnecessary trouble for him.

"Oh? He actually has six brothers who are at the Longevity Realm."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming let out a soft exclamation, and upon closer inspection, quickly discerned the other party's cultivation level.

He couldn't help but start thinking.

After a moment, he chuckled at Ji Ming: "Old Hu, this person did help you before. If you hadn't seen him, that would have been fine. But now that he's come to you for help, it's not good to avoid him or not help him."

Let's bring him over and hear what's wrong with him.

If there's any trouble, there's no need for Elder Hu to intervene; I, His Highness, will handle it for him."

"Yes!"

Old Hu saw through Ji Ming's intentions; how could he not know that the other party wanted to subdue Zhao Da?

"Let him come."

Old Hu waved his hand, directing the guards to step back.

The crowd responded and stepped back.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Da didn't hesitate any longer and sped up his pace to get here.

Looking at the hundreds of people ahead, a look of relief and joy flashed across his face.

An endless hatred immediately arose.

He wanted revenge, revenge for his six brothers.

"Old Hu, young master, thank you for saving me."

Before long, Zhao Da weaved through the crowd and arrived in front of Old Hu and Ji Ming.

He realized that the young man in front of him was the leader of this large group, so his words of thanks also carried respect for the young man.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming nodded slightly, his gaze towards Zhao Da filled with satisfaction.

"Zhao Da, what exactly happened?" Old Hu asked curiously.

The other person looked so disheveled and was all alone, which made him vaguely guess what was going on.

Sure enough, the next second Zhao Da said, "To be honest, Elder Hu, the seven of us brothers have run into big trouble..."

Zhao Da briefly recounted his encounter and fight with Su Chen.

Hidden within this was information that they intended to kill and rob him, but instead claimed that Su Chen had failed in his deal and had slaughtered his six brothers.

"Who has such strength?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming immediately became interested, recognizing the person as a master.

A martial artist at the peak of the Longevity Realm fought seven other martial artists at the peak of the Longevity Realm, and not only was he not defeated, he also killed six of them.

This clearly demonstrates the extent of this person's strength.

Moreover, judging from what Zhao Da said, the other party doesn't seem to be very old.

Such talent is worthy of my service!
The look of satisfaction on Ji Ming's face gradually faded after Zhao Da finished telling the story.

Instead, she showed obvious interest in Su Chen.

Without comparison, things would have been fine, but once the comparison was made, he was even more eager to recruit Su Chen.

Zhao Da, completely oblivious to Ji Ming's change in expression, continued, "I beg you, young master and Elder Hu, to help me kill this man. I will reward you handsomely afterwards!"

Old Hu didn't speak, but glanced at Ji Ming.

Ji Ming transmitted his voice: "Old Hu, you decide for yourself. Seven people can't even beat one person. Such a piece of trash is not worth my attention."

Old Hu felt helpless about Ji Ming's reneging on his promise, but his face remained calm.

He thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Da, if this is really as you say, I will not stand by and watch someone die."

Zhao Da was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, young master, thank you, Elder Hu."

"That person has arrived."

Suddenly, Ji Ming frowned and looked ahead, feeling that the other person's aura was somewhat familiar.

As Su Chen approached quickly, both Elder Hu and Ji Ming recognized him.

"It's him!"

Ji Ming murmured to himself, never expecting to run into Su Chen here.

Not far away, Su Chen also recognized Ji Ming and Old Hu.

Not only them, but also others, were all chosen ones who had met the emperor once in the palace.

Judging from their appearance, they were gathered together, preparing to return to the Kingdom of Saint Tu.

Immediately, he noticed Zhao Da standing next to Ji Ming, and his gaze turned cold.

Zhao Da noticed Su Chen's gaze, sneered, and appeared fearless.

Facing a group of hundreds of people, Su Chen showed no fear and walked forward with a calm expression.

"Old Hu, this is the man!"

Zhao Da remained calm, backed by Ji Ming and Elder Hu, and swept away his previous dejected demeanor.

"Sir, this man is my friend. Why must you be so ruthless?"

Old Hu spoke loudly, and his voice quickly spread, reaching Su Chen's ears on the wind.

"Could you spare his life for my sake?"

He wasn't stupid; he was skeptical of what Zhao Da said.

However, since the other party had come to him for help, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

So they decided to compromise and turn hostility into friendship.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end.

Zhao Da lost six brothers; that was his business.

He only needs to temporarily resolve the feud between the two.

As for whether Zhao Da would seek revenge on Su Chen afterward, that was not something he was considering.

"You want to protect him?"

Su Chen's indifferent voice rang out, without any dissatisfaction, only silence.

"Exactly."

Seeing that Su Chen was asking a question he already knew the answer to, Old Hu's face darkened slightly, but he still replied.

However, Su Chen shook his head: "Sorry, you can't save it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen took a step forward and suddenly appeared a hundred meters away.

Then he struck with lightning speed and thunderous force.

A jet-black luster instantly condensed in his palm and then surged forth like a raging wave.

It seemed to contain a terrifying power, causing even Old Hu, who was a hundred meters away, to feel a sense of unease.

Seeing that Su Chen attacked without saying a word, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

With a raised arm and a gentle swipe, a massive energy barrier materialized out of thin air as the energy surged forth.

Just as the Yuan Power Barrier enveloped the group, Su Chen's attack came crashing down.

Like a beam of light, it possesses astonishing speed, leaving behind a dazzling tail.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and then heard a loud crash in their ears.

The sound of the impact didn't last long and quickly dissipated.

"what?"

Old Hu's pupils contracted, and disbelief appeared in his eyes.

He saw from afar that the Yuan Power barrier he had condensed could not even last half a second under Su Chen's beam of light before cracking open and bursting apart like a bubble in an instant.

Su Chen's beam of light, after breaking through the barrier, did not lose its momentum; instead, it surged forward even faster. Zhao Da, witnessing this, widened his eyes in astonishment.

Sensing the threat of death, he cried out in a hoarse voice, "No!"

However, this move was too fast, so fast that even Old Hu didn't react immediately.

He realized his mistake too late, and by the time he tried to escape, it was too late.

The beam of light pierced Zhao Da's body like an arrow, leaving some of its power inside him.

It ravaged his body.

An explosion rang out, and everyone saw Zhao Da's body turn into a bloody mist and dissipate.

boom!
Old Hu quickly reached out and grabbed the beam of light.

Immediately, his Yuan Power surged, and with a sudden tremor, he completely shattered the beam of light, saving Ji Ming.

Ji Ming, as expected of a prince, remained calm and composed even in such a critical moment.

Even when Su Chen's attack broke through the Yuan Power barrier and Zhao Da's body with unstoppable force, he remained calm in the slightest.

However, his expression suddenly turned icy cold the moment Su Chen killed Zhao Da.

"Old Hu, kill him!"

Ji Ming's icy voice rang out, carrying endless chill, and was directed at Su Chen.

He didn't care about Zhao Da's life or death; in his eyes, the other party was nothing more than a dog.

But he wouldn't allow Su Chen to kill someone in front of him without his consent.

Such behavior was a blatant provocation to him.

As a prince, he would never allow anyone to openly provoke him.

If the other princes found out, he would surely lose all his prestige, and how could he then command respect?

Therefore, when Su Chen killed Zhao Da, Ji Ming's anger was no less than his anger when Su Chen won three games in a row.

Even worse.

With both old and new grudges combined, he simply ordered Elder Hu to take direct action and kill Su Chen.

This is not a royal palace; behind him are dozens of martial artists at the Longevity Realm.

They were not afraid of Su Chen at all.

"kill!"

Old Hu was also holding his breath, and upon hearing Ji Ming's words, he rushed out in response.

"Gentlemen, please join me in killing this fiend!"

The rest of the warriors from the Holy Kingdom all heard Ji Ming's words.

He naturally knew that although the words came from Old Hu's mouth, they also represented Ji Ming's meaning.

They had all witnessed Su Chen's prowess and knew that Old Hu alone might not be a match for Su Chen.

So they all used their spiritual senses to send messages, ordering their longevity realm guards to take action.

"Old Hu, I'm here to help you!"

"And I!"

"A mere petty thief, not worth mentioning!"

“This person dares to kill someone in public; he has a strong desire to kill and should be brought to justice.”

“Since the Holy Yuan Kingdom will not punish this person, then my Holy Tu Kingdom will punish him.”

Loud voices resounded like thunder, and dozens of figures rushed out from the crowd in the blink of an eye.

They moved quickly to Old Hu's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Let's do it together!"

Hu Lao telepathically communicated with everyone and took the lead in releasing his totem dharma form.

It is a celestial horse and star totem.

Pegasus is one of the most powerful sacred beasts among all the sacred beasts, ranking within the top thousand, and possesses terrifying power in terms of speed and strength.

A sacred beast is equivalent to a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm.

Among humans, warriors at the Divine Power Realm are called Martial Saints, while among demons, demons at the Divine Power Realm are called Sacred Beasts.

Old Master Hu's totem is clearly much more powerful than that of ordinary martial artists.

His totem contains two kinds of power.

One is the power of sacred beasts, and the other is the power of stars.

These two forces combined to form the Pegasus Star Totem.

Therefore, once revealed, it became the dominant force among the many attacks against Su Chen.

However, it didn't have much of an impact on Su Chen.

He had already witnessed the other party's strength, so he naturally had no fear whatsoever.

Moreover, having just absorbed the power of thunder, his strength has increased once again, making him even more fearless.

It's not that he fears the other party, but rather that the other party fears him.

After all, he could break through to the Divine Power Realm at any time.

Just now, Su Chen discovered that the secret manual Zhao Da gave him was not fake.

While he was chasing Zhao Da, the panel had already absorbed the manual.

Once he has time to consume enough Pure Yuan Pills, he will be able to break through to the Divine Power Realm.

Although he didn't know why the Pure Dharma was blank, he learned the reason after the panel finished absorbing the data.

The Pure Method is a method for cultivating the primordial spirit, and its sole purpose is to refine the primordial spirit.

This is a life-defying technique even more terrifying than reverse martial arts techniques.

Although the reverse martial arts technique violates the common sense of martial arts, it is still possible to cultivate it.

The Fate-Defying Technique is a technique that can change one's destiny.

What kind of practice can change one's fate?
Only techniques that directly target a martial artist's qi and blood, physical body, primordial spirit, and lifespan, thereby altering their inherent qualities, can be called techniques that defy fate.

The Pure Method is a life-defying technique that directly targets the primordial spirit's potential.

After the panel absorbed the information, Su Chen automatically mastered the Pure Land Technique.

The result was that his primordial spirit was even purer and more flawless than his physical body.

It should be noted that his physical body has been tempered by various forces such as Yuan Power, Hunyuan Power, Nine-Turn Glazed Fire, and Thunder Power.

It has long since reached the limit of the Longevity Realm.

Its physical strength is comparable to that of the Longevity Divine Weapon.

Even Duan Tian Dao frankly admitted that he could not shake Su Chen's physical body without using his trump cards.

Such a body, tempered to the extreme, is still not as effective as the Pure Dharma.

Not only that, but also Su Chen's vital energy.

Su Chen's blood and qi had been refined through the Blood Transformation Technique, and in terms of purity, his blood and qi were in no way inferior to his physical body.

Even so, after the primordial spirit is refined by the Pure Method, neither the blood and qi nor the physical body can match the purity of the primordial spirit.

Su Chen was naturally happy with this.

After being tempered by the Pure Dharma, his body no longer had any weaknesses.

Qi and blood, physical body, and primordial spirit have all reached their limits.

Next, once he finishes consuming 100,000 Pure Yuan Pills, he will break through the Longevity Realm and enter the Divine Power Realm.

He currently has less than 100,000 Pure Yuan Pills, but that doesn't matter.

These people in front of me are none other than his alchemy-delivering attendants.

Since they dared to attack him, he should be prepared to face death.

As Su Chen's strength grew, so did his audacity.

Their behavior is completely unrestrained.

"He's just a member of the royal family of the Holy Kingdom, yet he dares to lay a hand on him."

kill!

Leave no one behind!
While everyone was preparing their attack, Su Chen had already completed it.

This is the benefit of a pure and flawless primordial spirit; in the blink of an eye, it can quickly mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

"Perfect, I'll use you guys to test its power."

With a slight thought, Su Chen fused his Qi and Blood Power, Primordial Spirit Power, Physical Power, and Primordial Chaos Power together.

Punch out!
This strike pierced the heavens! (End of Chapter)
