Thunder rumbled!
The thunderous roar of Frenzy and the curses of Chen Boyun echoed continuously.
In mid-air, a flicker of confusion passed through the large eyes of Thunder Kirin. Instinctively, it sensed something was off, but it couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Shaking its head, it carefully sensed again and confirmed that the Qilin Egg was indeed within this black mountain. Thunder Kirin shook its head again, not paying attention to that fleeting feeling. After all, for it, the Qilin Egg was the most important thing; as long as the Qilin Egg remained in this black mountain, it would not leave no matter what.
"This Golden Cicada's Shedding Technique is quite impressive." Listening to the familiar curses in his ears, a broader smile spread across Fang Chen's face.
Without a doubt, facing Thunder Kirin's sudden intrusion into the Heritage Site, Chen Boyun managed to execute this nearly perfect Golden Cicada's Shedding Technique despite being caught off guard. It was truly remarkable and almost fooled both Fang Chen and Thunder Kirin.
Of course, in the end, it was Fang Chen's Flower of the Great Path that detected him. However, even so, Chen Boyun had every reason to be proud. After all, his Golden Cicada's Shedding Technique was nearly flawless as long as he didn't encounter a wielder of the Flower of the Great Path. Such warriors were exceedingly rare—rarer than encountering a Dao Sovereign Realm Expert.
Naturally, Chen Boyun was unfortunate; such rare wielders of the Flower of the Great Path were hard to come by, and he just happened to run into one. The nearly perfect Golden Cicada's Shedding Technique, which was difficult to detect even with Divine Consciousness Power, was completely ineffective against the Flower of the Great Path.
This led to tragedy.
Tragedy surged forth, yet at that moment, Chen Boyun remained complacent and completely unaware that not far away, a pair of cold eyes were fixated on him.
"Beasts are just beasts; they really have no brains, hehe."
"Hmm, I wonder how Chu Jingxiao is doing? And that kid who dared to sign a Soul Contract with my Jincheng Sect disciple—he's truly asking for death; he deserves to die."
As he cautiously retreated, Chen Boyun continued to mutter to himself.
It's hard to imagine that a dignified elder of Jincheng Sect would be muttering like this all along. However, one can understand how Thunder Kirin had bombarded him at the door earlier and left him in such a state.
"Deserves to die? But do you know which Sect that person belongs to?"
Suddenly, a light and airy voice echoed in Chen Boyun's ear.
"Yeah, I still don't know which Sect that kid belongs to."
Upon hearing this, Chen Boyun instinctively replied, feeling a sudden realization wash over him. Although he believed Fang Chen could be killed, he had never actually known which Sect Fang Chen was a disciple of.
Of course, this was merely an instinctive thought from Chen Boyun. After that, his body, shrouded in gray-black light, suddenly trembled violently. His hunched figure froze for a moment, and then his eyes widened in shock as he stared in the direction from which the voice had come.
There was actually someone here! More importantly, his disguise had been seen through!
Who was this person?
In that instant, he immediately dismissed Chu Jingxiao. The voice he heard earlier was definitely not Chu Jingxiao's.
But if it wasn't Chu Jingxiao's, then whose was it? A strong sense of unease surged within Chen Boyun; he began to tremble as an unprecedented panic suddenly filled his heart.
The next moment, he realized who it was.
"It's you!" Looking at the familiar figure in his line of sight, Chen Boyun's eyes suddenly narrowed, disbelief etched across his face.
This was the very person he had almost killed with a single finger outside the Heritage Site—the one he had previously muttered about!
How could he have discovered him?
Chen Boyun felt somewhat disoriented and struggled to regain his composure. After all, he had never truly interacted with Fang Chen. Their only near encounter had been abruptly interrupted by the sudden intervention of the Thunder Kirin. Therefore, he did not understand Fang Chen well. Yet despite his lack of understanding, there was no mistaking Fang Chen's genuine Alchemy Realm cultivation.
His flawless plan, which had even deceived the peak Heavenly Realm Thunder Kirin in mid-air, had actually been seen through by this Alchemy Realm individual?
As soon as this thought surfaced in his mind, Chen Boyun immediately dismissed it; he simply could not believe such a thing. It was far too incredible for him to accept.
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence."
He thought to himself.
However, regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, his perfect Golden Cicada's Shedding Technique had suddenly become extremely imperfect due to Fang Chen's appearance. And this imperfection, under the watchful gaze of the Thunder Kirin above, was undoubtedly fatal!
If it were in another place, seeing Fang Chen delivered right to him, Chen Boyun would have been overjoyed and would have struck to kill him long ago. But at this moment, he dared not act recklessly. He feared that if he moved, this fellow would directly attract the attention of the Thunder Kirin hovering in the air.
At that time, it would be a huge disaster for Chen Boyun.
"Calm down, calm down..."
His breathing had gradually become heavy, but Chen Boyun desperately reminded himself, almost hypnotically telling himself to stay calm. At the same time, his old face, which was originally filled with a murderous aura, forced out a smile, like a blooming chrysanthemum, trying his best to appear amiable. He needed to stabilize Fang Chen's emotions and avoid drawing the Thunder Kirin's attention to any unusual behavior on his part.
With Chen Boyun's efforts, Fang Chen seemed to cooperate remarkably well, not displaying any unusual force that would attract the Thunder Kirin's notice. Instead, he crossed his arms and smiled at Chen Boyun.
"Damn little beast!"
Looking at Fang Chen's smile, the grin that Chen Boyun managed to muster appeared even more "kind." However, deep down, he was gritting his teeth and had mentally cursed Fang Chen's ancestors multiple times. This was clearly the smile of a victor looking down on his prey with disdain.
How could he, a dignified elder of the Jincheng Sect and a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm, be prey to a mere martial artist from the Alchemy Realm?! Chen Boyun was furious.
But anger aside, at this moment, Chen Boyun deeply understood the saying about having to bow one's head under someone else's roof. He suppressed the impulse to violently strike down Fang Chen at any moment while his eyes darted around as if plotting something devious.
He was waiting for an opportunity—waiting for a moment when he could instantly slay Fang Chen without attracting the Thunder Kirin's attention!
Since seeing Fang Chen, Chen Boyun knew very well that as long as Fang Chen lived, there was absolutely no way for him to escape today. To kill Fang Chen was something he believed he could accomplish easily with his Heavenly Realm cultivation; it would be a matter of just a snap of his fingers. The real challenge lay in how to silently eliminate Fang Chen without making a sound.
He pondered and waited. Just then, he heard Fang Chen—who had been smiling at him since appearing and had not intentionally made any noise to attract the Thunder Kirin—speak again.
"Are you ready? Why haven't you made a move yet?"
The light, airy voice drifted into Chen Boyun's ears. At that moment, his emotions were undoubtedly complex—shock, confusion, disbelief, horror... a myriad of feelings surged in his mind, as if a bottle of mixed flavors had been suddenly overturned, creating an overwhelming complexity.
He stared blankly at Fang Chen, momentarily at a loss for words.
However, while Chen Boyun was stunned, Fang Chen was not.
Looking at the astonished Chen Boyun, Fang Chen smiled. "It seems you're not ready yet. But..." He suddenly changed his tone, and the smile on his face vanished in an instant. "But I no longer want to play with you."
As he spoke, the air around them suddenly dropped in temperature, a chilling wind that seemed to come from the polar glaciers enveloped Chen Boyun, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
At that moment.
Roar!
In mid-air, Thunder Kirin, who had been fixated on the nearly shattered black mountain, finally turned its gaze toward this place.
It was a bad idea to look; upon seeing Chen Boyun, Thunder Kirin instantly became furious.
"It’s you!"
With a roar, its proud body that had been hovering in the air suddenly moved its hooves and transformed into a massive bolt of lightning, shooting toward this location.
Boom!
Behind Thunder Kirin, countless bolts of lightning surged forth simultaneously from all directions, completely enveloping Chen Boyun.
As he watched Thunder Kirin charging toward him along with the terrifying Frenzy thunder that seemed to herald the end of the world, Chen Boyun, who had been momentarily dazed by Fang Chen's words, immediately snapped back to reality.
However, at this moment, his clarity was undoubtedly far too late. The Thunder Kirin was already looming ahead, and the overwhelming thunder and lightning had intercepted all his escape routes.
He had... nowhere to run!
"Ah! You little beast!" Chen Boyun roared, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the already retreating Fang Chen. Ignoring the terrifying Thunder Kirin that was approaching with a tide of resentment, he moved forward and charged directly at Fang Chen.
"A dying man will go mad first." Watching the red-eyed Chen Boyun rush towards him, Fang Chen shook his head, showing no sign of fear.
Because just as Chen Boyun took two steps forward, the Thunder Kirin had already arrived.
"Roar!"
The roar of the Kirin was deafening, and then countless bolts of Frenzy lightning completely engulfed that area.
In Fang Chen's line of sight, he could no longer see Chen Boyun's figure.
