300: Chapter 300 Heavenly Ranking, Innate Level!

As soon as these words were spoken, the men in black behind Zhao Chi all cast their gazes over, and several of them had already secretly rested their hands on their weapons.

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became tense again, but Zhao Chi raised his hand to stop their actions.

He stared at the man for a few breaths and slowly said, "Your Excellency has quite a big mouth, do you know who I am?"

"I know."

Qin Jianshen stood up, stretched lazily, and his joints snapped loudly.

"Zhao Chi, the branch master of the Red Lotus Demonic Cult in the south, right."

He took the grass stem out of his mouth and flicked it away casually.

"That's quite a loud title."

The rest of the people in the hall were also stunned, looking back and forth at the man, trying to figure out what kind of sacred figure he actually was.

Bai Nianci also looked over.

She stared at the middle-aged man's face for a long time, her brows slightly furrowed.

She always felt he looked a bit familiar.

That face was utterly ordinary, with untidy stubble, looking just like an ordinary Jianghu wanderer.

But that Aura...

Bai Nianci suddenly thought of something, her pupils abruptly shrinking.

She recalled a portrait that her sect's elders had once shown her.

The person in the painting had the same sloppy and lazy posture, gradually aligning with the person in her memory.

She turned to look at Liu Qing, just wanting to remind her, only to see that Liu Qing's expression had also changed, obviously having recognized this person as well.

"Qin... Qin Jianshen?"

I don't know who softly chanted this name, as if everyone in the hall had been struck by a bolt of thunder.

Tenth on the Heavenly Rankings.

Innate Realm.

That was an existence surpassing the Return to Truth Realm, one of the few supreme powerhouses in this world aside from Grandmasters.

The shock of Zhao Chi sending two fourth-rank guards flying with a single move had not yet dissipated, but at this moment, an even more terrifying existence had surfaced.

Zhao Chi's body tightened slightly, and the eyes behind his mask revealed a look of solemnity for the first time.

Qin Jianshen.

Of course he knew this name.

Tenth on the Heavenly Rankings, an Innate expert, a monster capable of wiping out an elite army formation single-handedly.

Why would this person appear here?

Qin Jianshen seemed completely indifferent to the surrounding gazes. He just stood in place, with one hand on his hip, tilting his head to look at Zhao Chi, a lazy smile lingering at the corners of his mouth.

"So..."

His tone was still that casual and nonchalant manner.

"The person you want to take away, I also have matters to find him for."

"What should we do about this?"

The air in the hall seemed to have frozen.

Two completely different Auras collided invisibly, and everyone felt their breathing grow a bit heavier.

Chen Ran sat at the table with an unchanged expression, gently swirling the wine cup in his hand.

His gaze fell calmly on Qin Jianshen's back, sighing in his heart:

"A Heavenly Rankings expert, what a huge title."

Last time he caused such a big commotion in the capital, he only got the title of the head of the Earth Rankings.

One could imagine what kind of powerhouse someone capable of ascending to these Heavenly Rankings must be.

...

Zhao Chi's expression sank, and a scarlet True Qi fluctuation gradually emanated from his body, which was the exclusive karmic fire Aura of the Red Lotus Demonic Cult.

"Qin Jianshen, are you trying to make an enemy of our Red Lotus Demonic Cult?"

With that, the True Qi on Zhao Chi surged violently, turning into a blood-red sharp claw that blasted forward.

Swish!

One could only hear the sound of the air tearing as a flash of red light streaked past, instantly flying toward the middle-aged man.

This kind of attack Aura could at least be achieved by the Innate Realm.

But before that blood-red sharp claw could fly in front of the other party, just getting close to a distance of about three zhang, it suddenly vanished.

Only the remaining True Qi fluctuations danced wildly throughout the entire boat.

Zhao Chi withdrew his palm and looked at the other party with some dread.

There were also gaps within the Innate Realm.

Although he had also achieved a Breakthrough to the Innate, his Aptitude was limited, and breaking through to the initial stage was already his limit.

But if it was an existence on the Heavenly Rankings, their strength was at least the Late Stage of the Innate Realm, especially the top ten, all of whom were existences at the Peak of the Innate Realm.

Even if he went all out, it would probably be very difficult to cause much damage to him.

Qin Jianshen yawned, raised his pressed-together fingers to his glabella, and said casually:

"No no no, I am not deliberately provoking you guys, it's just a matter of luck, your target collided with mine."

"How about this, I have no intention of conflicting with your esteemed sect, but this person still has to be taken away."

Qin Jianshen also felt a bit troublesome. Although his strength could crush everyone present, if he really killed a branch master sent by the Red Lotus Demonic Cult...

That wouldn't simply be offending them, but forging a blood feud, and by then, it would certainly usher in endless retaliation.

Even he was unwilling to rashly offend such a behemoth.

Besides, this time he came with a mission.

"No one said this time would be so troublesome, damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have taken it..."

"How about this, you fight me, if you win, I'll let you take him away, how's that?"

Suddenly, the voice of a young man came from afar.

Qin Jianshen raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the voice.

At the same time, the others also cast curious gazes toward the person who spoke.

Curious as to what sacred figure dared to interfere and even speak so insolently.

After seeing the appearance of the young man who spoke, everyone was greatly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the person who spoke was a young and handsome man wearing an ink-wash-colored robe, looking to be just around twenty-something years of age.

"No way, how could it be him?"

"Alas, so young... actually daring to get involved in this kind of Domain without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth."

Some recognized his identity. After all, Chen Ran had stayed at the banquet for a while and had become somewhat familiar, thinking he was some Jianghu swordsman who had popped up from nowhere.

Most of these young Martial Artists were passionate and high-spirited, fearless of dangers and obstacles, and roamed the Jianghu relying solely on a chivalrous heart.

Facing this kind of boat-hijacking incident, they wouldn't feel fear; instead, they would be passionate and try to reenact those stories in scriptbooks.

But they simply didn't know what kind of opponent they were facing, and in most cases, they would pay the price with their lives.

However, everyone's expectation ultimately fell through.

Chen Ran ignored the whispers of the crowd and casually raised the wine cup in his hand, pointing it at Qin Jianshen.

"How about it, how is my proposal?"

Qin Jianshen was not annoyed; instead, he replied to the young man with spirit:

"Good idea, if it's not completed by then, I'll have an excuse. You are truly a Genius, let's do it this way."

"Is that so? Then Brother Qin, you must pay attention."

Chen Ran's mouth hooked up, his wrist lifted upward, and the wine cup in his hand instantly tossed toward the sky, the wine falling downward like a curtain of rain.

Immediately after, Chen Ran swiped his five fingers from bottom to top, mobilizing the True Qi within his body as a flash of white light swept past.

The next moment, the wine in the air paused in mid-air, as if guided by something, condensing into round pellets drop by drop.

Chen Ran waved his hand casually and whispered softly.

"Go."

Rumble!

Countless curtains of water flew forward like a waterfall, turning into an incomparably thick white bundled torrent!

Qin Jianshen's expression changed slightly, pulling out a long saber from his waist, the saber light rolling like an airtight windmill blocking in front of him.

Clang clang clang!

The curtain of rain beat against the blade edge, sending out a metallic humming sound.

At the same time,

Under this commotion, the entire boat was hit as if heavily struck, and began to shake violently, as if on the verge of collapsing and falling apart at any moment.
