Chapter 1979

Zi Chen stood there inexplicably. His cold eyes and the faint aura around him made the cultivators in the distance nervous and frightened. They did not understand why Zi Chen had such an expression.

It should be known that when Zi Chen fought against three Heaven-Defying cultivators, he did not show such an expression.

"Friend? You have a friend."

Unlike the others who were nervous, Yi Qian was more surprised by Zi Chen's words. Along the way, Zi Chen had always shown a somewhat fake arrogance. He never thought that he had friends or that anyone was qualified to be his friend.

But today, Zi Chen took the initiative to mention the word "friend". This was very novel and surprising to Yi Qian.

"Of course."

After looking around and not finding anything suspicious, Zi Chen closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense, slowly spreading it in all directions. "My friend is good at assassination. I have been with him for a long time, so I am very familiar with this murderous aura."

"Could that be your friend? Maybe it's just a prank," Yi Qian said.

"Impossible. The two auras are different."

Yi Qian clearly could not understand Zi Chen's certainty. She said doubtfully, "Among the people I pay attention to, there doesn't seem to be anyone who is good at assassination. Moreover, Heaven-Defying cultivators are the strongest in their own world. They don't need to use such a sneaky method to kill people."

Zi Chen, who still did not find anything unusual, retracted his spiritual sense and opened his eyes. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Who said that this person must be a Heaven-Defying cultivator?"

When Yi Qian heard this, she was shocked. Someone who could make Zi Chen treat him like this was not a Heaven-Defying Realm cultivator. She lost her composure and said, "You mean that the person who came is just an ordinary Heaven Realm cultivator?"

In the eyes of all Heaven-Defying cultivators, as long as they were not Heaven-Defying cultivators, they were just ordinary Heaven Realm cultivators.

"He is an ordinary Heaven Realm cultivator and an assassin among ordinary Heaven Realm cultivators."

"Assassins are existences who specialize in assassination."

Zi Chen nodded and stepped forward.

"You found him?" Yi Qian followed.

"No." Zi Chen shook his head.

"Then he left."

Yi Qian asked again. She did not understand why Zi Chen, whose expression had just become solemn, suddenly relaxed again.

"No." Zi Chen shook his head again and said, "Let's not look for him. If he wants to come out, he will jump out himself."

Yi Qian, who had not sensed anything earlier, could not help but ask in puzzlement, "He's just a normal Heaven Realm cultivator. Is he really that strong?"

When he heard Yi Qian's words, Zi Chen thought of an organization from a long time ago. They were born assassins.

Because of Zhang Haotian's existence, Zi Chen wouldn't simply assume that the organization had disappeared.

This was an extremely ancient organization that had not shown itself for a long time. Who would have thought that they would target him this time?

Zi Chen did not think that he was wrong about that aura. Only a real assassin could have that kind of aura. Moreover, the other party did not intentionally leak his aura. The reason why Zi Chen could sense it was because he had been with Zhang Haotian for a long time. He was familiar with the feeling of an assassin hiding his aura.

Since they were assassins, they naturally did not distinguish good from evil. They only had benefits in their eyes. This time, when he sensed the assassin, Zi Chen guessed what kind of benefits had moved him.

It was the fragments of the Shield.

Zi Chen did not know, and he did not need to know. The only thing he could do was to kill all the existences that wanted to kill him.

Moving forward again, looking at Zi Chen, who had become silent, Yi Qian's face was not as indifferent as before. This world was called the life star, and it could give birth to the strongest Heaven Defying Warriors. It was normal for some other strong existences to appear during this period.

Yi Qian's face suddenly changed. She looked at the figure in front of her in disbelief.

There was one person standing there.

There was only one person.

Along the way, the power Zi Chen had shown was enough to frighten the whole world. Now, without three to five strong Heaven Defying Warriors, no one dared to trouble Zi Chen.

The fact also proved that the Heaven Defying Warriors were almost scared out of their wits. They did not dare to provoke Zi Chen anymore.

But now, the Heaven Defying Warriors did not dare to come, but the ordinary Heaven Realm experts did. Moreover, they did not come in a big group. There was only one person.

A young man with a cold face wearing armor stood in the middle of the road, blocking their way.

Zi Chen looked at the young man. He did not look surprised. Zi Chen, who was moving forward, stopped and looked at the other calmly.

The young man's body was shining. His aura surged, showing off his sharpness. Obviously, he was not an assassin who was good at hiding.

"Luo Yao."

Looking at Zi Chen, the young man opened his mouth, his voice cold.

"A member of the Luo family."

Zi Chen said indifferently. This was the first human enemy of the same level that he faced after returning to this world.

At the same time, information about the Luo family appeared in Zi Chen's mind. The Luo family was not good at fighting. They were best at refining. They were the original inhabitants of this world. They claimed that they were the orthodox bloodline of the Zhanwu Continent and were very arrogant.

Looking at the young man in front of him, his armor flashed with golden light. Although his aura was suppressed, it was not difficult to guess that it was a Heaven-level armor.

He was not good at magic, but he dared to challenge Zi Chen. He must be wearing something of the highest quality.

Apart from Luo Yao, no one else from the Luo family appeared. Obviously, such a large family did not want to completely fall out with Zi Chen. If the matter was investigated, they could push the blame to Luo Yao for Zi Chen.

Looking at Luo Yao and then turning to look at Zi Chen, Yi Qian could not help but feel puzzled. She wondered if the two sides were really going to fight.

She did not understand. Luo Yao was not even a Defiant. Where did he get the confidence to challenge Zi Chen?

However, Luo Yao used his actions to tell Yi Qian that he was not here to make up the numbers. He was here to fight.

A long spear appeared in his hand. The spear was a Heaven-level weapon, and it released a powerful aura.

Holding the spear with both hands, Luo Yao spun the tip of the spear. He stepped on the ground and rushed toward Zi Chen.

Golden light shone around him, and waves of blazing energy were emitted. This energy leaned toward Zi Chen's extreme Yang attribute, but it was not so extreme.

Seeing that Luo Yao had already launched an attack, Zi Chen did not hold back. The Heavenly Blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed forward.

Clang.

The long blade hit the spear, and a loud clang was heard. A powerful force emerged from the blade, trying to send Luo Yao flying through the spear.

However, Luo Yao's armor suddenly lit up with rays of light. This light formed layers of ripples that spread out and began to counteract the powerful force contained in Zi Chen's attack.

As the ripples spread, the spear, which had neutralized the powerful force, was like a bolt of lightning. It stuck close to the long blade, and amid the sparks, it went straight for Zi Chen's brow.

Zi Chen tilted his head, and the long blade in his hand moved forward. The spear brushed past his brow, and a sharp light of energy broke into the void behind Zi Chen.

Luo Yao's attack missed. He shouted and swept the spear in his hand with the force of ten thousand pounds.

Clang.

Zi Chen withdrew his blade and blocked the attack. Terrifying energy spread.

In the midst of the energy stalemate, Zi Chen looked at Luo Yao, who had a cold smile on his face. He suddenly changed his grip on the spear with both hands, and a short sword appeared in his empty hand.

The short sword in his hand turned into a stream of light and pierced toward Zi Chen's heart.

Swoosh.

A light flashed under Zi Chen's feet. He took a few steps back and dodged the attack.

Zi Chen steadied himself and looked forward. Luo Yao's armor was shining. He held the short sword in his left hand and the spear in his right. He stood in the air like a god of war and looked at him coldly.

It took a long time to describe, but in fact, the speed of the exchange was very fast. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged several blows, and Zi Chen was forced to retreat.

She thought that this would be a battle with great disparity. Who would have thought that the one who was forced to retreat was Zi Chen? Yi Qian's beautiful eyes widened. She looked at Luo Yao, who was just an ordinary Heaven Realm warrior, in disbelief.

She had seen the previous battle with her own eyes. In a head-on confrontation, Zi Chen was forced to retreat. Fortunately, it was Zi Chen. If it was someone else like Ji En, they would not have such fast reaction speed. They would have been injured by Luo Yao's quick attacks.

Ji En had not been able to make Zi Chen retreat even a single step from the beginning to the end. But now, as soon as Luo Yao came up, Zi Chen was forced to retreat. From this point of view, Luo Yao was stronger than Ji En.

This was the first time Yi Qian had seen such a powerful ordinary Heaven Realm warrior. She was very shocked.

The cultivators who came later were also shocked. When they saw that Zi Chen's opponent was a human, their faces were filled with excitement.

According to Zi Chen's previous reputation, a powerful being from the Zhanwu Continent had suppressed him and even defeated him. This did not affect the Zhanwu Continent's reputation at all.

The temporary loss did not make Zi Chen show the slightest dismay. He just smiled faintly, looked at Luo Yao's armor, and said, "Good armor. Interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Chen rushed forward with his saber. The heaven-defying energy in his body kept pouring into the saber. A violent aura appeared on the saber.

Feeling the aura coming from the saber, Luo Yao's face changed. With a loud shout, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward with his spear.

The heavenly saber slashed down. The heaven-defying saber light shone brightly as it slashed down on the spear.

Clang!

A sharp and even ear-piercing sound was heard. Luo Yao's whole body was glowing. His weapon, body, and armor seemed to be connected to form a whole. The destructive power contained in Zi Chen's attack was completely neutralized.

However, Zi Chen's attack was indeed too strong. Luo Yao's body shook visibly.

After the first attack, Zi Chen attacked again. Once again, he slashed out with his saber. The dazzling saber light illuminated the world. The power contained in this attack was three times stronger than before.

Clang!

The sound of clanging echoed in the world. This time, Luo Yao took a step back and completely neutralized Zi Chen's attack.

Clang! Clang!

Zi Chen continued to attack. Each attack was faster and stronger than the last. Under the continuous attacks, Luo Yao's steps gradually became disordered and he began to retreat.

Clang!
