The four or five hundred figures, shrouded in cloaks, moved with incredible speed, like ghosts, and their target was clear: the point of their encirclement was the location where Chen Qian was.
Shen Qian turned around, and at some point, his eyes regained some of their human quality. A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
He had long sensed something strange lurking in the crowd.
It should be noted that although everyone's manifested soul body is different due to their different strengths, no matter how different they are, they are all essentially the aura of human warriors. Only these people seem strange to Shen Qian's keen spiritual perception.
Even though they appeared to be on the verge of collapse before the sinking, these people managed to resist the urge to attack.
Only when Shen Qian overturned the table, breaking the encirclement, did they realize that if they didn't act now, they might never have another chance, and so they finally jumped out.
"Let me see what kind of monsters and demons you are!"
Having regained control of his body, Shen Qian appeared in front of a cloaked figure in an instant, reaching out with one hand.
The warrior, whose entire body was concealed by a cloak, raised his head, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes filled with destruction and cruelty. He neither dodged nor avoided the hand that reached out to grab him, but suddenly grinned maliciously, and the soul power in his body suddenly fluctuated violently.
Shen Qian's heart skipped a beat as he sensed a certain danger, but he still ripped off the cloak from the other person's body.
"What is this thing?"
Exclamations arose from all sides, and Shen Qian was also taken aback for a moment.
Beneath the cloak was a strange humanoid creature.
He clearly had the body of a human warrior, but his head resembled that of a demon, devoid of flesh and blood, consisting only of a skeleton burning with eerie green flames and two red eyeballs.
It looked as if the souls of two different beings had been stitched together.
Just as he was about to see what the other person looked like, he suddenly exploded without warning.
Self-destruction is a very rare method. Although it is powerful, it generally cannot cause any damage unless the distance is extremely close. Even if two people of the same level of cultivation clash, the other side can react in time and avoid it in advance.
The most likely outcome is that you die in vain while the other party is seriously injured.
But Shen Qian was determined to see the other party's true colors, so he stood close by. At that moment, the other party suddenly self-destructed, and Shen Qian immediately suffered the greatest damage.
Even though... he was only a martial artist in the mid-stage of the Mountain and Sea realm.
Boom!
The terrifying surge of soul power sent all the martial artists within a hundred feet flying, clearing a vacuum area.
A moment later, Shen Qian's figure was thrown out from among them. His arms were almost broken, and his body was also badly damaged, making him look extremely disheveled.
This is the first time Shen Qian has been truly injured since being surrounded and attacked.
Although it was only a minor injury, it was undoubtedly seen as a signal by those with ulterior motives.
"Hahahaha, Shen Qian, do you still remember me?"
At this moment, a cloaked figure behind suddenly removed his cloak, revealing an unfamiliar human face.
Although his face was unfamiliar, his voice was extremely familiar.
"Number 56?" Shen Qian narrowed his eyes, already recognizing the other person's voice.
Although Fang Fan, who was possessed by Number 56, has perished, it was only an avatar of his. Before sinking, he had guessed that he might meet Number 56 again sooner or later, but he never expected that it would come true in the "Sea of Learning".
But it's not surprising. Everyone knows that "Xuehai" might be the only chance to intercept Shen Qian. Not to mention that Shen Qian's whereabouts are hard to track, it's extremely difficult to set up a real killing trap when there are kings and nobles everywhere these days.
The moment he recognized Number 56, Shen Qian realized that these people were the work of the Witch Clan.
As for this strange human, he is most likely just another clone of Number 56.
"Long time no see," Number 56 chuckled. "The Witch King heard you won the championship in the Nine Heavens Competition, so he sent me to deliver a grand gift!"
"The Witch King? Are you kidding me?"
Shen Qian paused for a moment, outwardly dismissive, but inwardly grave.
He didn't know if Number 56 was bluffing, but if the legendary Witch King had really been resurrected, that would be an extraordinary thing.
Humanity currently has no Great Emperor-level experts.
"Hahahaha, you'll soon find out whether I'm bluffing you or not... It's a pity you probably won't live to see the day my witch clan's glory is restored!"
Number 56 sneered and waved his hand, saying, "Brothers of the Ghost Clan, kill this man, and I promise you, on behalf of our Lord, that your people will share the 'Primordial Land' with my Witch Clan!"
Whoosh!
The nearly five hundred figures, previously concealed by cloaks, simultaneously ripped off their cloaks, revealing their skeletal faces.
Their eyes burned with the same resolute determination and ruthlessness.
This is a bunch of reckless lunatics!
Even Shen Qian's expression changed drastically at this moment.
No matter how confident he was, he could still sense the intense aura of death when facing nearly five hundred reckless mountain and sea creatures.
"Sink forward, retreat quickly!"
At this moment, not only Tantai Qin, but also Qu Bai, Lin Sanmo and others who had been watching changed their expressions drastically and took action to try to help Shen Qian intercept some of the powerful members of the Ghost Clan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, these powerful members of the Ghost Clan were completely unreasonable. Anyone who got close would self-destruct. Except for Tantai Qin, who could barely withstand it, everyone else was quickly seriously injured and forced to retreat.
Shen Qian frowned.
Although he possessed the "Shadow Shifting" technique, this nine-star martial skill, which contained the principles of space, required a stable space as its foundation. At this moment, the aftershocks of the first Ghost Clan powerhouse's explosion had not yet dissipated, and Ghost Clan powerhouses who arrived one after another were self-destructing, causing the entire space to become extremely turbulent.
