689: The Blood Prince Falls

Above the original site of Blackwood Town, a mushroom cloud dozens of meters in diameter slowly rose, emitting an ominous aura.

Ten thousand meters away, Han Tianxing and the others stared at this scene, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Before them, the former Blackwood Town was now gone, wiped from the face of the earth.

A terrifying deep pit had appeared in its place, a scene even more exaggerated than an earthquake.

If they waited for a while, a lake would likely form here.

"Young Master Wang Chen, could that have been a Ninth-Tier Divine Demon?"

After a long moment, Hong Gu murmured, her voice trembling with disbelief.

"Even if not, it was at least a peak Demigod."

Han Tianxing's gaze was more solemn than ever as he spoke, his voice hoarse.

For a moment, everyone present looked at the handsome young man in the sky ten thousand meters away, who seemed like a Divine Demon, with immense reverence, as if worshipping him.

Such a strong individual could establish a sect and create a powerful force no less than a Holy Land in the Netherworld, or even found a powerful nation that would last for hundreds or thousands of years.

In the entire Netherworld, he was a mythical strong individual.

They were fortunate enough to witness it with their own eyes today; it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

...

...

In the distant sky.

"Cough cough!"

Wang Chen lightly coughed, blood seeping from his lips.

However, he didn't bother to wipe it away at this moment and quickly flew down to the center of the sinkhole below, releasing his perception to search.

A moment later, finding nothing, Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh:

"Lord Charles's strike was indeed powerful, but with one slash, everything turned to fragments, and the spoils of war were also destroyed."

Blood Clan Prince Cernio was completely annihilated, not even a blood core remained.

If this battle were measured by gains, he had truly lost out.

He had used a trump card he had been reluctant to use, but ended up getting nothing.

However, Wang Chen quickly put away the disappointment in his heart.

The Blood Clan Prince was a big problem for him, and being able to resolve him in advance was of great significance to him.

At the very least, staying in the Netherworld from now on, he wouldn't have to worry about a fully recovered Blood Clan Prince suddenly popping out to hunt him down.

"It's not entirely without gain; this Blood Clan Duke's blood core can barely compensate for some of my losses."

Flying out from the bottom of the sinkhole, Wang Chen took Aldrich's remaining blood core into his hand, thinking with a touch of bittersweetness.

Although a Duke's blood core couldn't compare to a Prince's blood core, taking it back to display on a table as a trophy was still enough to impress people.

"Eh? These guys are still here?"

Just then, Wang Chen suddenly noticed Han Tianxing and the others, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He had thought that these guys had already fled back to Qing Shi City during his battle with Cernio.

"Lord..."

Han Tianxing and the others cautiously approached the sinkhole, looking at Wang Chen with awe, their bodies instinctively bending.

"No need for formalities."

Seeing Han Tianxing and the others looking nervous, Wang Chen frowned, then said in a calm tone:

"The one who was pursuing me has been slain by me. As for the aftermath of Blackwood Town..."

At this point, Wang Chen paused, suddenly remembering that in the previous battle, the entire Blackwood Town had been wiped out.

"Lord, you don't need to mind. The monster that attacked the town was slain by you, and if the deceased commoners knew, they would surely be endlessly grateful to you."

Han Tianxing said with a respectful expression upon hearing this.

Endlessly grateful?

Wang Chen was startled, and couldn't help but shake his head.

He estimated that if they knew the full story, these commoners would feel about the same towards him as they did towards the Blood Clan Prince.

"If any of the commoners in this town have living relatives, I trouble City Lord Han to look after them."

Wang Chen waved his hand, took out ten High Grade Holy Quartzs, and threw them to Han Tianxing, saying in a calm tone.

He wasn't afraid that Han Tianxing would embezzle these ten High Grade holy crystal stones; the other party had witnessed the entire battle just now, unless he didn't want to live.

"Lord, you don't need to do this. I will definitely handle the matter of Blackwood Town properly."

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Tianxing's eyes, and then he became even more respectful.

This Lord was willing to compensate the deceased commoners of Blackwood Town, so he must be an upright and principled strong individual.

If they could form a good connection, the Han family would prosper in the future.

"Are you telling me what to do?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen frowned in displeasure.

In his opinion, Han Tianxing's so-called proper handling probably meant little more than neglecting the matter entirely; the darkness of this ancient world was even worse than what he had read in books.

"I wouldn't dare."

Han Tianxing trembled and quickly said in fear:

"I will strictly follow Lord's instructions."

After speaking, he cautiously stared at his toes, and finally, emboldened, invited Wang Chen to be a guest in Qing Shi City.

Wang Chen thought for a moment and directly refused.

Now that he had dealt with the Blood Clan Prince and the Blood Clan Duke, and understood the situation of this world, all that remained was to recover from his injuries and seek the Dark Tyrant Ape, as well as research the situation of the Netherworld at night.

The former goes without saying, as for the latter...

As one of the strong cities surrounding the Demon Beast Forest, Qing Shi City had a large magic dispelling array that covered a wide area, which was not conducive to his actions.

Moreover, Wang Chen himself was too lazy to socialize with people, and being a guest at the City Lord's mansion would be utterly annoying.

"Which direction is the closest town to the Demon Beast Forest?"

Wang Chen planned to stay in a small town to recover from his injuries and enter the Demon Beast Forest. Also, the magic dispelling array in a town had a smaller coverage, making it more convenient to study the undead that appeared at night.

"Lord, the closest town to the Demon Beast Forest is Green Field Town."

Han Tianxing felt a little disappointed, but still respectfully pointed out the direction to Wang Chen.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

Wang Chen nodded upon hearing this, said a word to Han Tianxing and the others, and then soared directly into the sky.

However, he didn't go to Green Field Town first, but flew towards Qing Shi City.

The Dark Tyrant Ape Cub, that little fellow, was still in the rented room.

"Phew..."

After Wang Chen flew away, Han Tianxing and the others simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from them.

There was no other way; the previous battle was still vivid in their minds, and even though Wang Chen didn't release any Qi, he still gave Han Tianxing and the others an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"Big Brother, aren't we going to continue trying to get closer to this Lord?"

"This is a peerless strong individual. With just a word from him, our Han family's status could soar a thousand feet."

After sighing in relief, Han Tianyu looked at Han Tianxing with some hesitation.

In his opinion, although Wang Chen seemed to keep people at a distance, he acted according to his own principles and was also so young.

If they could establish a connection, the Han family's status in the Chu Kingdom would definitely rise significantly.

"That Lord is unwilling to have much contact with us, and we cannot force it. Otherwise, if we anger him, the destruction of the Han family would be but a thought away."

Han Tianxing warned his younger brother with a glance, but his daughter's image couldn't help but appear in his mind.
