So unlucky

As soon as the Grand Elder spoke, Zhong Qing's expression remained unchanged, but Ming Suxin was startled.

"Imperial-Grade Profound Skill!"

As the Saintess of a first-rate sect, she knew how terrifying a Imperial-Grade Profound Skill was.

A powerful expert who mastered a Imperial-Grade Profound Skill was virtually invincible among those of the same level, and in some situations, it was not impossible for him to fight above his cultivation realm.

It was simply unimaginable how terrifying a Sanyin Realm expert who mastered a Imperial-Grade Profound Skill could be.

Killing ordinary Sanyin Realm cultivators was probably as simple as eating and drinking!

Although she had already witnessed Zhong Qing's strength firsthand throughout their journey, those Sanyin Realm ferocious beasts were equally no match for him.

But facing a Sanyin Realm expert who mastered a Imperial-Grade Profound Skill, could Zhong Qing still handle him with ease?

Even Ming Suxin didn't have much confidence.

After all, since the Black Serpent Sect was almost completely annihilated by Zhong Qing, they must have witnessed Zhong Qing's strength.

Yet, they still believed they could take down Zhong Qing by relying on the Black-Robed Person, which certainly wasn't without reason.

While Ming Suxin lacked confidence, the Black Serpent Sect members were full of it.

Originally, with their few remaining scattered forces, they probably wouldn't have been able to reach this place at all.

The reason they were able to rush all the way to the secret realm entrance, and even not much slower than Zhong Qing and his companion, was because of the formidable presence of Hei Bai.

Along the way, Hei Bai could be said to have killed every beast he encountered and broken every array he faced.

Not to mention the numerous Tianxuan Realm and even Sanyin Realm ferocious beasts that were brutally killed and casually torn to pieces by Hei Bai.

Unlike Zhong Qing, who had the aura of Formation Immunity and therefore would not trigger arrays at all, Hei Bai had no such aura, was not proficient in arrays, and almost always walked in a straight line without turning, naturally triggering countless arrays.

However, those terrifying ancient grand arrays were all directly destroyed by Hei Bai with a violent palm strike, the astonishing might of which left the Black Serpent Sect members dumbfounded.

It was precisely because of this that their confidence in Hei Bai had swelled to an unprecedented level.

With such a peerless expert by their side, what if that fiend was powerful?

No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than Lord Hei Bai?

At this moment, Hei Bai also remained silent, slowly walking towards Zhong Qing.

The Black Serpent Sect members showed expressions of joy.

This time, they seemed to see the countless scenes they had witnessed before: no matter what enemy or what array they faced, Lord Hei Bai would walk up silently and destroy the enemy with a single palm strike.

"Lord Hei Bai is about to make his move, brat, you're dead!"

A Black Serpent Sect disciple laughed wildly, and the Grand Elder also showed a look of satisfaction.

Although he regretted not being able to kill Zhong Qing with his own hands, seeing him die miserably under Lord Hei Bai's palm could also relieve the hatred in his heart.

As Hei Bai drew closer, Ming Suxin became increasingly nervous.

Everyone seemed to sense an invisible aura of killing intent between these two powerful experts.

As the distance between them closed, this killing intent grew even stronger.

Slightly weaker cultivators might even faint under this powerful aura of slaughter.

And just as this "aura of slaughter" reached its peak, Hei Bai had already walked in front of Zhong Qing.

Under everyone's tense gaze.

Zhong Qing put down the teacup in his hand.

Then, Hei Bai's straight figure, like a mountain of gold collapsing and a pillar of jade falling... knelt down.

Hei Bai knelt on one knee, bowing his head towards Zhong Qing.

"Master, I am late."

Zhong Qing smiled calmly: "You arrived just in time."

The arrogant and bloodthirsty smiles of satisfaction on the faces of the Black Serpent Sect members froze at this moment.

The Grand Elder felt a buzzing in his head, and his thoughts directly crashed.

He stared blankly at Hei Bai, who was half-kneeling, and Zhong Qing, who had a calm and unruffled expression.

"You... this... this..."

He spoke tremblingly, unable to utter a complete sentence.

The scene before him was like a dream.

Yes, it was a dream.

It must be a dream, an illusion!

Lord Hei Bai, whom they regarded as their reliance, actually knelt before that fiend and even called him master?

How was this possible? It must be an illusion.

"Illusion... it's all an illusion... you can't fool me!"

Under the shock, fear, and intense impact, the Grand Elder felt his brain boiling, and he roared out in excitement.

"Lord Hei Bai! Lord Hei Bai! Quickly kill this brat!"

Still clinging to a last shred of fantasy in his heart, the Grand Elder shouted, "Kill this brat, and my Black Serpent Sect is willing to serve you as our master! Power, wealth, beauties! Whatever you desire, Lord, my Black Serpent Sect can satisfy you..."

The next moment, Hei Bai seemed to move exactly as he had imagined.

However, the target was not Zhong Qing, as he had thought.

Instead, he slowly raised his hand and pressed it towards the Black Serpent Sect members.

The terrifying might surging from that pale palm, and the boundless sense of death threat that arose in his heart, made the Grand Elder clear-headed in the final moment.

He also realized that everything that had happened before was not an illusion.

He had witnessed Hei Bai's attacking posture many times along the way.

Every time he made a move, his opponent had only one outcome.

It was just that before, when they saw Hei Bai make a move, the Black Serpent Sect members felt surprise, awe, and excitement.

But now, only endless fear and regret remained.

If they hadn't relied on Hei Bai for revenge, but had left the secret realm after being rescued by him, how could they have ended up like this?

But they could never have imagined that Hei Bai was actually the servant of that fiend?

What kind of existence had their Black Serpent Sect encountered?

"No..."

Before the Grand Elder's cry could even escape, he and the few Black Serpent Sect members behind him were cleanly pulverized into a meat paste by Hei Bai's palm strike.

And the secret realm iron token on the Grand Elder's body was also casually retrieved by Hei Bai.

Looking at the blood and flesh splattering everywhere, Zhong Qing slightly frowned.

"Next time, be a bit cleaner with your moves."

"It affects my appetite."

Hei Bai lowered his head and said, "Yes, Master."

As his voice fell, he gently pushed out a palm, and a wave of snow swept across the ground, engulfing the blood and flesh, making the earth return to a pristine white, as if these people had never existed.

Meanwhile, Ming Suxin was already stunned, only regaining her senses at this moment, startled.

This mysterious expert, whom the Black Serpent Sect regarded as their reliance, was now standing with his head bowed, respectfully behind Zhong Qing.

Over the past few days, she had thought she had gained some understanding of Zhong Qing, but the scene before her once again overturned her perception.

There were only a few Sanyin Realm experts who mastered a Imperial-Grade Profound Skill in the entire Northern Region.

And such an existence was actually Zhong Qing's servant?

Moreover, this group of Black Serpent Sect members, after being almost completely annihilated by Zhong Qing himself, had the misfortune of encountering him and regarding him as their hope for revenge against Zhong Qing.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance sympathetically at the spot where the Black Serpent Sect members had been.

These people were truly unlucky.
