What's it like to be targeted by the murderous intent of a king or nobleman?

I vaguely remember that when I was browsing the internet at the VR arcade, this was once one of the top ten most popular questions in the "Martial Arts Tales" category on a certain website.

If Shen Qian were alive today with a keyboard, he would definitely type: "Thanks for the invitation, but I'm in ancient times. Let me come back alive first..."

Although Shen Qian had met many kings and nobles, this was indeed the first time he had faced a king and noble with murderous intent laid bare.

Back when Shen Qian Er was in Beidu, he had also faced the enraged Duke Yanshan because of the theft of the Plum Garden.

However, thanks to Wu Wei's timely cover-up, Shen Qian did not fully feel the pressure from the king. Even so, he almost suffocated on the spot.

At this moment, when there is no longer any cover, when the everyday side is abandoned, how terrifying can a king who fully reveals his majesty be?

With just one glance, across thousands of meters, Chen Qian felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and even the circulation of his internal energy became sluggish.

Shen Qian then realized that he had been making some assumptions.

After breaking through the Mountain and Sea Realm, and especially after his Yuan Power, Spiritual Power, and Physical Body successively broke through the taboos, it has to be said that with the further leap in strength, even if Shen Qian did not become arrogant, his intangible confidence has increased a lot.

Even in the occasional fleeting thought, there is the illusion that one is not so far removed from being a king or noble.

But at this moment, Shen Qian realized how terribly wrong he had been.

As Yan Wang Jiang Zhi stood in mid-air, his emotions shifted, causing the sky to darken, thunder to rumble in the void, and the heavens and earth to tremble.

It was as if the earth would collapse and the city would crumble if he simply raised his hand or stretched out his foot.

This is a sight that is almost impossible to see in modern society.

This was also the first time Shen Qian clearly realized that the gap between a king and a mountain and sea master was probably even greater than the gap between a mountain and sea master and an ordinary martial artist.

Only kings and nobles are truly qualified to be called gods.

Even if Shen Qian was fearless, he would still be naturally suppressed when facing a king or noble. That mysterious aura weakened Shen Qian's strength by more than 30%.

Even so, in Shen Qianmohu's perception, this Flame King Jiang Zhi was at most on the same level as Luo Shenbo.

Shen Qian unconsciously thought about how domineering his senior brother Jiang Huan was when he charged into the Martial Arts Department alone with just a spear and faced the top-level noble Tian Ning Gong!

No wonder the other party is called the number one person under the mountains and seas. Before sinking, he realized once again that his journey was still very long.

"My lord, flee at once!"

In that brief moment of distraction before sinking, Gao Zhe had already shouted alertly.

When Shen Qian came to his senses, he realized that although Jiang Zhi, who was staring intently at him, had not approached, he had stretched out his palm from afar and then suddenly clenched it.

Shen Qiantong shrank back, then was horrified to discover that the distance between himself and Jiang Zhi was shrinking infinitely.

Even though neither of them moved, the space between them seemed to begin to compress.

The speed at which this space was being pulled closer far exceeded Chen Qian's nerve reflexes. Even though he had already stepped into the forbidden realm of speed, he had absolutely no power to resist.

Gao Zhe didn't sit idly by; while shouting, he had already taken a step to stand in front of Shen Qian.

The pressure before sinking decreased sharply, and the sensation of the space being infinitely pulled closer finally disappeared, but Shen Qian's expression remained tense.

Because it was Gao Zhe who shielded him from the pressure.

Even if Gao Zhe is a top-tier master of the Mountain and Sea realm, what chance does he have against a king or noble?

Sure enough, under the powerful suction, Gao Zhe's figure was almost instantly pulled away from Shen Qian and caught up with Jiang Zhi.

"Gao Zhe, how dare you betray me!"

Gao Zhe's act of protecting Shen Qian instantly enraged Jiang Zhi, whose face was already gloomy. His roar was like thunder, which actually collapsed dozens of houses below.

Shen Qian's expression changed. He knew this was the best time to escape, and it was an opportunity that Gao Zhe had created for him.

After a moment's hesitation, Shen Qian finally charged towards Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi, a complete stranger, was willing to give up his life for him just because of the word "my lord." Although Shen Qian was not a moral gentleman, he could not stand by and watch the other party lose his life in front of him.

He planned to use the "Ten Directions Creation Body" directly to see if there was a chance to escape with Gao Zhe.

However, Shen Qian's figure stopped as soon as he moved, not because he was scared, but because time and space suddenly froze.

This isn't just a modifier; it's a genuine state of stagnation.

Before sinking, consciousness was still slowly turning, but everything around had come to a standstill, including the flowing clouds, the burning fire, the collapsed houses, and the scattered crowds...

The reason for everything lies in the Time Conch in Gao Zhe's hand.

Jiang Zhi's eyes were also filled with astonishment, and his hand, which was powerful enough to crush Gao Zhe's body, was frozen in mid-air.

This is the power of time.

Even kings and nobles... were helpless!

The changes were not over yet. After time and space froze, the Time Conch in Gao Zhe's hand suddenly began to spin rapidly. In the shadows, an invisible yet real power surged out from the conch and flowed continuously into Gao Zhe's body.

Amidst the horrified gazes of Shen Qian, Yan Wang, and countless powerful members of the Yan Clan below, Gao Zhe's aura began to surge at an exaggerated rate.

In Shen Qian’s perception, Gao Zhe, though powerful, was only a strong person at the sixth or seventh level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

But at this moment, his energy had already approached the limit of the mountains and seas in just a few seconds.

But the power released by the river snail did not stop.

After a brief pause, as the surrounding space distorted, Gao Zhe's aura finally broke through the greatest constraint in the world, stepping into the realm of kings and nobles!
