686: Shocked! Wang Chen is so strong?

“Quick, speed up!”

“The magic fluctuations ahead are intense. The City Lord must have already engaged that rogue!”

Outside Blackwood Town, shouts continuously rang out as a group of over twenty people rushed forward.

Leading this group were Hong Gu and a middle-aged man whose power fluctuations indicated he was in the Early Stage of the Seventh Rank.

This middle-aged man was Han Tianyu, the younger brother of Han Tianxing, the Pavilion Master of the Spirit Pet Pavilion.

After learning that Blackwood Town was under attack and that Han Tianxing and Wang Chen had left in a hurry, Hong Gu immediately invited Han Tianyu out and brought the elite forces of the City Lord’s Mansion to provide support.

Among the group of over twenty people, besides Han Tianyu, who was a Seventh Rank, the rest all possessed strength ranging from Peak Fifth Rank to Sixth Rank at minimum.

This allowed the group to travel as fast as galloping horses, reaching Blackwood Town from Qing Shi City in just a short moment.

Soon.

They arrived in Blackwood Town.

“This…”

Seeing the ruins before them, everyone was startled.

Less than half an hour had passed since the distress signal was sent, and the once prosperous Blackwood Town had been reduced to the ghostly realm before their eyes.

Everyone found it unimaginable what kind of powerful and cruel existence could have caused such destruction.

Han Tianyu looked around, his gaze suddenly fixed, and he spoke with a hint of excitement as he looked into the distance: “Big Brother is over there.”

When he first saw the destruction around him, Han Tianyu’s heart sank by half.

The silence around them made him worry that his Big Brother might have met with misfortune.

“Quickly, go protect the City Lord. Eh? Who is that person?”

Han Tianyu called for everyone to move towards Han Tianxing. After only a few steps, he saw a young man with an extraordinary aura standing in front of a hideous monster.

“Big Brother, is that young man the helper you found? He looks unfamiliar; I haven’t seen him in Qing Shi City,” Han Tianyu asked curiously as he approached Han Tianxing.

He had initially thought that it was his Big Brother, Han Tianxing, who was blocking this monster, and he had never expected it to be someone else.

“You’re here. Tell the brothers not to get close. This is not an enemy we can deal with,” Han Tianxing, startled, glanced at his younger brother and his subordinates, then instructed them.

Then, he swept his gaze towards Wang Chen in the distance, a look of awe appearing on his face.

“I don’t know the origin of that Lord, but his strength is definitely something we need to look up to. Later, keep your eyes sharp and maintain sufficient respect, otherwise it will bring disaster to our Qing Shi City.”

Han Tianxing said with a solemn tone.

Lord?

Disaster?

Han Tianyu, Hong Gu, and the others’ pupils contracted, and their expressions couldn’t help but turn to shock.

A young man who appeared to be under twenty years old, yet Han Tianxing was so solemn about him. Didn’t that mean his strength was even greater than that of the Seventh Rank Han Tianxing?

“Who exactly is he? What happened before we arrived? Why has Han Tianxing changed so much?”

Hong Gu’s heart was even more turbulent, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She had encountered Wang Chen even earlier than Han Tianxing, but she had only noticed that the young man was somewhat extraordinary and might come from a powerful force.

She could never have imagined that the young man himself possessed strength capable of surpassing Qing Shi City.

Seeing the expressions of his younger brother and subordinates, Han Tianxing continued with a solemn tone:

“You must remember my words. Just now, an Eight-Turn Demigod perished at the hands of Lord Wang Chen.”

“And the monster opposite now possesses the strength of a Ninth Rank God-Demon level. Even though it is severely wounded, it can easily slaughter our entire Qing Shi City.”

As Han Tianxing’s words fell, the expressions of Han Tianyu, Hong Gu, and the others grew even more horrified.

This was simply too sensational!

“How could he have such strong power? I didn’t notice it at all before?”

Hong Gu’s expression was stiff, and a chill continuously rose in her heart.

She was now somewhat fortunate that when she was at the Spirit Pet Pavilion, she had only gone back on her word and canceled the discount, and had not said anything she shouldn’t have.

Otherwise, she would probably have already become a lonely spirit by now.

Just then, Hong Gu and the surrounding people suddenly stiffened.

The ten-meter-tall grotesque monster in the distance swept its crimson gaze over them.

Just being swept by that gaze, an indescribable fear, like a tide, engulfed their minds, almost making them fall to the ground.

At this moment, everyone no longer doubted the monster’s strength. This was definitely a Ninth Rank God-Demon level powerhouse; a single glance made them unable to muster any will to resist.

In the distance.

“Are those guys the helpers you called? The strongest is only Seventh Rank; they’re not even enough for my snacks.”

Cernio’s colossal voice, like thunder, boomed across the surroundings, causing Han Tianxing and the others to tremble violently, their faces pale as they involuntarily retreated.

Opposite Cernio, Wang Chen’s eyes were calm, completely unconcerned by the subtle threat in Cernio’s words.

“Do not attempt to use them to distract me.”

Looking at Cernio with calm eyes, Wang Chen said in a cold tone:

“Doing this only exposes your weakness even more thoroughly.”

“Since you’re so lacking in confidence, I’ll take your head as a trophy then.”

Before his words finished, Wang Chen took a step forward.

With a bang, the silent atmosphere of Blackwood Town was suddenly broken by a piercing sonic boom. The expanding shockwave directly flattened the surrounding dilapidated houses.

Han Tianxing and his group in the distance were pushed back by the strong wind.

In contrast, Wang Chen, at this moment, shot out with a dazzling white rainbow behind him, carrying terrifying momentum.

The distance of tens of meters between him and Cernio was crossed by Wang Chen in less than an instant.

Boom!

With a loud crash, a terrifying large pit was suddenly blasted out where Cernio had been. Its diameter exceeded ten meters, and its depth reached several tens of meters.

The terrifying commotion caused the entire ground of Blackwood Town to tremble.

“Hahahaha, Wang Chen, if this is all you’ve got, you can’t kill me.”

“Just obediently offer up your essence blood and become my nourishment!”

Cernio laughed wildly, his figure already appearing tens of meters high in the sky.

He looked at the destruction Wang Chen had caused below, and the worry that had arisen after Aldrich was killed directly vanished into thin air.

This strike was indeed very strong, reaching Eight-Turn Peak, but compared to the attack Wang Chen had unleashed in the underground space, there was a huge difference.

It was no exaggeration to say that the power of Wang Chen’s attack at that time was at least several times greater than it was now.

Wang Chen stood by the large pit, slowly withdrew his fist, turned his body, and his icy killing intent, like a materialized sharp sword, shot directly at Cernio in the sky:

“Why the rush? This is just the beginning of the warm-up!”

“A dead duck with a hard beak!”

Cernio snorted disdainfully upon hearing this.
