As if in response to Chen Qian's words, the third blade of light that had pierced through Qin Hao's shoulder suddenly burst forth from the void and struck Qin Hao's severed arm as it flew up.

boom!

In Qin Hao's despairing gaze, the arm that had remained in a clenched fist position was torn to pieces.

The eight people finally came to their senses, and their expressions changed drastically as they saw the horror in each other's eyes.

For them, whether the blade's edge before sinking was double or triple was, to some extent, completely meaningless.

The important thing is that he only made one strike before sinking.

This strike not only shattered their combined Nine Heavens Battle Formation, but also severed Qin Hao's arm.

Without the Nine Heavens Battle Formation, if it were just a one-on-one fight, they would all believe that Shen Qian could cut off Qin Hao's arm.

With the Nine Heavens Battle Formation, Shen Qian's strike was clearly aimed at Qin Hao, and he made no attempt to conceal it from the nine people, yet he still severed Qin Hao's arm.

What does this tell us?

The so-called combined efforts of nine people were nothing but a joke in front of Shen Qian.

They find it hard to accept this fact, yet they have no choice but to accept it.

When the advantage of numbers can no longer be utilized, all that remains is a one-sided crushing defeat...

So, when Chen Qian grabbed the hilt of his knife again, the remaining eight men, not even caring about Qin Hao's life or death, immediately weighed the pros and cons and made their own choices.

"I'll give you a name!"

The only woman among the nine, the young woman with a cold and stern face, lowered her sword and spoke calmly.

At the same time, the young man named Chu Yiran also spoke.

But only these two people spoke up.

The other six people simultaneously soared into the sky. Four of them chose to rush towards the Fourth Heaven Gate, while the other two each chose a different direction and fled frantically.

"Incorrect answer."

Shen Qian raised an eyebrow and murmured four words.

A wise martial artist will not turn their back on a powerful opponent, but a self-righteous martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm will.

Because they always felt that the gap between themselves and others was not large enough to make escape impossible.

So, his gaze changed at the moment before he sank in.

His eyes, under the slightly dazed gaze of the young woman opposite him, became deep and dark, like an endless starry sky or a bottomless ocean.

Chu Yiran didn't notice the subtle changes in Shen Qian's body. But at this moment, looking at the choices of his other six companions, he felt a moment of regret.

Yes, perhaps any single person facing the sinking would have a very slim chance of escaping unless they withdrew from the battle for the Nine Heavens on the spot.

But... if the six of them are together, what can they do even if they sink?

Just as Chu Yiran was hesitating and somewhat restless, a deep-seated fear suddenly enveloped him.

The fear came so suddenly, and it was so absurd.

He, Chu Yiran, has come this far not so much because he can laugh at life and death, but he is a man of unwavering will. He no longer has the emotion of fear a few years ago.

But... he couldn't control himself.

It was like a complete suppression of the level of life, a deep tremor of the soul. When he turned his head in a daze, he found that Wu Dan was just like him, pale-faced, trembling, and his face was filled with uncontrollable fear.

Chu Yiran turned his head again and finally found the source of his fear. At the same time, he saw the most unforgettable scene of his life.

He swore that he had never been so shocked, not even when he first witnessed the extraordinary abilities of a king.

Right there, before the sinking.

Amidst the sudden surge of water waves, some hundreds of meters high, a dazzling black-gold light abruptly appeared, enveloping the world in a chaotic aura akin to the end of time.

Chu Yiran watched as the ordinary boy's body swelled up and he became a giant over five meters tall.

His clothes ripped, revealing his completely black flesh. His long hair was hidden, and the top of his head was smooth as a mark. His body was covered with golden Buddhist mantras.

The ancient symbols, resembling Sanskrit, were densely packed, but against the backdrop of darkness, they did not evoke any sense of etherealness; instead, they sent chills down one's spine.

Death, destruction, chaos, disaster...

Gazing at those Buddhist mantras, all you can imagine are the darkest words in the world.

A huge halo of black and gold appeared and disappeared behind Shen Qian's head. He smiled, as if he had truly transformed into a Buddha who saves the world, but his body was filled with an aura of destruction.

The next moment, the Buddha manifested an illusion.

He seemed to still be standing in the same place, but with just a slight movement of his body, his shadow began to appear everywhere in the sky.

Ugh!

A piercing sound, almost like the air shattering, rang out.

The Buddha appeared before the four heavenly gates and unleashed a brutal punch.

boom!

Before Chu Yiran's bewildered eyes, blood and flesh exploded in mid-air.

The Buddha reappeared 400 meters to the southeast, then 600 meters to the northwest, before returning to his original location.

Boom! Boom!

That flickering motion, almost instantaneous, would have been mistaken for teleportation by Chu Yiran had it not been for the omnipresent phantoms and the continuous bursts of blood mist.

Chu Yiran became even more confused.

For ordinary martial artists, a 100-meter dash in 2 seconds is a huge hurdle, the first constraint imposed by the laws of physics.

In general, only mountains and seas are considered capable of breaking this boundary.

In Shan Hai's eyes, 1 second in 100 meters is a huge threshold.

Those who can break this limit either have an extremely special "Dao", or have cultivated some special supernatural power, or are strong individuals who have achieved success in body refinement.
