Under immense pressure, Chen Qian's body was on the verge of collapse in an instant, and his consciousness began to blur.
Upon discovering that Yanshan was merely the surface of Han Chi's domain, and that he was actually utilizing the infinitely vast power of the earth's veins, Shen Qian realized why Duke Yanshan was so outstanding among the top-tier nobles, and was even called his teacher's lifelong enemy.
To deal with Han Chi, you either have to run far away or break through his domain with absolute power from the start. Once you lose the initiative, there is almost no chance of turning the tide.
Although it was only a brief encounter, in terms of sheer terror, Duke Yanshan far surpassed Marquis Lingtian.
As he was sinking deeper into darkness, contemplating whether to abandon his original form and extend his life as a clone, he saw a glimmer of light.
The light felt strange; it should have been incredibly hot, yet it was enveloped in darkness.
In the endless darkness, a completely black light suddenly appeared, making the scene incredibly eerie.
But the next moment, the pitch-black light devoured all the surrounding darkness with absolute destruction, the pressure on Shen Qian suddenly eased, and his mind became clear again.
Only then did he realize that it was not light, but the cold gleam unique to cold weapons.
Clang!
A clear, melodious sound, like the roar of a dragon, resounded throughout the venue, followed by the deafening roar of a collapsing mountain range.
The jet-black spear carved a spatial rift that stretched for thousands of feet across the sky, like a black lightning bolt, and devoured Yanshan Gong's domain with overwhelming force.
Han Chi narrowed his eyes, ignoring Chen Qian who had escaped, and suddenly turned around to look at the entrance of the underground plaza.
Not only him, but all the martial artists present who still maintained their consciousness seemed to be drawn by some inexplicable force, turning their heads to look at the staircase extending from above.
A young man in a crisp military uniform, with a buzz cut and a stern face, strode in. With a wave of his hand, a long, black spear pierced through the air and returned to his hand.
"Senior Brother!"
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Chen Qian felt a great sense of relief.
Although this man was merely a martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm, he seemed far more reassuring than most kings and nobles.
There is currently only one martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm who can make at least several kings and nobles feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy.
"Jiang Huan, how dare you! Do you know..."
Just as Marquis Zhaoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, about to utter a rebuke, the cold-faced youth raised an eyebrow, twirled his spear with one hand, and then threw the spear in his hand.
This time, there was no massive collapse of space; only the trembling black light of the spear tip silently streaked across the void, aiming for Jun Buping's face without a sound.
Jun Buping's expression changed drastically, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say. His giant body, which was over ten feet tall, burst out with a magnificent light as bright as a galaxy, which then condensed into a colorful net in front of him, covering the spear.
The colorful net kept collapsing, yet it kept regenerating, seemingly without end.
Everything seemed slow, but this stalemate lasted for less than a second. Suddenly, the black spear accelerated, piercing straight through the broken net and Jun Buping's huge head, shooting out from the back of his head and striking the metal wall of the underground fortress with a "clang".
Strangely, no cracks appeared on the wall, as if the spear had precisely exhausted its last bit of strength and was stuck to the wall by its sharpness alone.
Jun Buping's enormous body fell backward, and brain matter, resembling a rainbow, spurted out. In his pre-fall perception, his life force had almost instantly become extremely weak.
But soon, the life force that flickered like a candle flame trembled several times before finally regaining its strength. Marquis Zhaoyuan steadied himself after falling, but could no longer maintain his enormous size and returned to the height of a normal human.
"Damn it, damn it..."
His face was deathly pale, and the gruesome wound that pierced his face was healing rapidly. Although he was cursing incessantly, his eyes were filled with the lingering fear of surviving a catastrophe.
Anyone who noticed this scene was stunned, or found it hard to imagine that even a high-ranking king could have such human weakness.
From Jiang Huan's sudden attack to Jun Buping's near-death experience, the entire process took no more than two seconds. Many people couldn't even see the whole thing clearly; they only saw Jiang Huan throw the spear, and the next second, the image that echoed in their minds was the shock of Jun Buping's brains splattering everywhere.
Only then did many people finally come to their senses, but they remained speechless for a long time.
They simply couldn't find the words to describe this astonishing scene.
Ordinary people from the Mountain and Sea realms had no idea what the "Peak" really was. They had only heard that Jiang Huan was the recognized number one person in the Mountain and Sea realms, but they never imagined that the strength of the Mountain and Sea realms could be so formidable that it could even threaten the life of a top-tier king!
"Awesome!"
To maintain his image, Shen Qian could only let out a silent scream in his heart, but this did not prevent him from falling into a long period of shock.
He knew that the pinnacle of the mountain and sea realm was very powerful. Before Jiang Huan, it was a realm that only existed in legends. He also knew that Jiang Huan had fought against Tian Ning Gong and forced him to flee at the cost of serious injury.
But those were not direct experiences. It wasn't until he witnessed Jiang Huan almost kill a king with a single blow that he understood why the pinnacle of the mountains and seas was a legendary realm.
It's nothing to confront a king or noble with a body as strong as mountains and seas. Shen Qian could do it, Xu Nian could do it, and perhaps even some exceptionally talented geniuses could do it. But to pose a fatal threat to a king or noble is just wishful thinking.
