Judging from Shen Qian's current position, when Shen Qian spoke, the furthest among the nine of them was no more than forty meters away.

And Chu Yiran, who is closest to them, is within easy reach.

When did he appear?

How did they manage to sneak up behind the nine people without making a sound?

Even more bizarrely, he was dragging such a huge monster along...

To put it another way, what would have happened if Chen Qian hadn't spoken up but instead launched a surprise attack?

Martial artists in the Mountain and Sea Realm have all condensed their spiritual cores, and their thinking processes far surpass those of ordinary people. Therefore, in just a moment, they had already figured out all the intricacies involved.

That is why they were so solemn at that moment.

Although the target of the ambush was Shenqian, to be honest, the nine of them had never thought about the possibility of failure before they even met.

Their combat strength may have just exceeded 10,000.

However, given their overwhelming numerical advantage, they were confident they could even give Lin Sanmo a shot.

In fact, if it weren't for one of the three insisting on it, they wouldn't have thought that nine people were necessary.

But at this moment, they inexplicably began to feel fortunate that there were actually nine of them.

Fortunately, Shen Qian didn't choose to make a move just now.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After the initial shadow dissipated and he saw that all nine of them were unharmed, Qin Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Junior Chen Qian, you're really stupid. You could have easily used a sneak attack to cripple one of us, but you had to say something to show off!"

The other eight people also had different expressions. Perhaps they wouldn't mock him as directly as Qin Hao, but they still couldn't help but feel a little contempt.

"I'll give you a chance."

Shen Qian did not respond to Qin Hao, but slowly stood up and said to himself with a smile, "I'm quite curious about those three people you mentioned. How about this, you give me a name, and I'll let one of you go. It's fair, just, and transparent."

The nine people reacted differently upon hearing this.

Some were stunned by the arrogance in Shen Qian's words, while others were horrified that Shen Qian had come earlier than expected.

But coincidentally, all nine of them were somewhat dismissive.

Seeing that no one responded, Shen Qian nodded, put away his smile, and then gripped the hilt of his knife tightly.

The next moment... it was dawn.

This is a very strange description, because it was already bright outside, but people still subconsciously had this fantastical feeling.

"No!"

Amidst the intense light, a heart-wrenching cry, both sorrowful and furious, suddenly rang out.
