The moment Chen Qian uttered his question, all the kings and nobles present fell silent.
Jiang Chengye... is also a Martial King?!
This news was undoubtedly even harder for them to accept than Han Chi breaking through to the Martial King realm on the spot.
After all, Han Chi had been stuck at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for many years, just one step away. It was only natural that he would break through immediately after receiving guidance from the Witch Emperor.
But what about Jiang Chengye?
The other party is only in his thirties, the same age as the previously fallen Ling Tianhou, yet he has already broken through to the Martial King realm. What an exaggerated thing this is!
Shen Qian was already hailed as the pinnacle of human talent, but now it seems that Jiang Chengye is in no way inferior.
This has no direct relation to the other party switching to the Witch Clan. The Corpse Carrier technique itself only greatly enhances his combat power, but it does not mean that becoming a Corpse Carrier will make it easy to take that step.
Back in ancient times, Ulan, who was known as the number one genius of the Witch Clan, was much older than Jiang Chengye if you calculated his real age, and he was only at the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"The power of causality? Interesting..."
Jiang Chengye, who had been repelled by Shen Qian, scrutinized Shen Qian and suddenly chuckled. Immediately afterward, a sharp sobbing sound seemed to ring in Shen Qian's ear.
Shen Qian felt a chill run down his spine. Without thinking, he turned around and blocked the attack. With a clang of metal on metal, the sword made of countless female corpses' long hair was cleaved apart by Shen Qian's palm.
Jiang Chengye, carrying the female corpse on his back, ignored the distance of several hundred feet and instantly moved behind Chen Qian.
Shen Qian's heart sank, because this meant that his Martial King Domain was not enough to completely suppress Jiang Chengye, and the other party could freely use the power of spatial rules.
Most importantly, Shen Qian had already vaguely sensed that the power of the Time Conch was waning.
Before he could think any further, Jiang Chengye had already made his move again. This time, the female corpse on his back also broke free and, shrieking, launched an attack on Shen Qian.
Boom boom boom...
The booming sounds of the collisions echoed through the sky. The only thing that bothered some of the kings and nobles who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder was that, because the speed at which the two fought had long exceeded the limits of human vision, the sounds of the collisions were delayed for an unknown period of time, which resulted in the images and sounds being completely out of sync.
The fight between the two was more like a montage of a movie, and even the visuals might not be real, because even these powerful kings and nobles could not guarantee how long ago the collisions they captured with their spiritual power were!
The only ones who could barely see the process of the two fighting were top-level kings and marquises at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, such as Wu Wei and Tian Jianke.
Even they were completely focused and dared not be distracted in the slightest.
In their eyes, Shen Qian and the corpse were exchanging blows hundreds or thousands of times every second on average. Ordinary physical rules could no longer restrain a powerhouse of the Martial King level.
Due to their high-speed collision, the surrounding space was shattered into countless tiny dust particles, which resulted in the area where the two were located forming a de facto miniature "black hole".
Everything around them was collapsing, and they were sinking deeper into the collapsing space. The two people and the corpse were no longer visible to the naked eye; only their mental power could capture those fleeting images.
What reassured Wu Wei and the others for the time being was that even when facing two opponents, Shen Qian still maintained a firm advantage.
Every time he made a move, he exerted a suppressive force on Jiang Chengye. After a short exchange, Jiang Chengye had more than a dozen bloody holes on his body and was seriously injured.
But Jiang Chengye was extremely reckless, often exchanging injuries for injuries, preferring to suffer even more serious injuries himself in order to tear a piece of flesh from Shen Qian's body.
Under these circumstances, Shen Qian found himself in a rather passive position.
Although the female corpse had not reached the level of a Martial King, under Jiang Chengye's continuous nourishment, her physical strength was already comparable to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Unfortunately, she wasn't a living person, and many conventional methods were ineffective against her. Even for Shen Qian, it wouldn't be easy to completely annihilate her in a short period of time.
The group of martial kings watched intently, awaiting the outcome of this battle that could very well determine the fate of the human race.
None of them expected that one day they would become spectators, but in a battle of this level, they had to admit that even a Great Immortal could not intervene.
Tianjianke frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, "Why is Shen Qian holding back? If he weren't afraid of Jiang Chengye's madness, his advantage would be much more obvious than it is now!"
Although the Heavenly Swordsman was not a Martial King, his eyesight was excellent, and he immediately saw through Shen Qian's predicament of being unable to break through.
Wu Wei was about to say something when he heard this, but his expression suddenly changed slightly, as if he realized something, and he fell silent again.
...
Inside the "black hole," Jiang Chengye and the corpse of the Queen Marquis were sinking in front of him, and of course they knew the problem at that moment.
But he had no way to express his suffering.
He could clearly feel that the power of the Time Conch was fading at an increasingly rapid pace.
This means that although Shen Qian seems to have the upper hand, he actually has to expend more effort each time he makes a move.
Jiang Chengye had long seen through the fact that Shen Qian's current state, enhanced by the power of cause and effect, was unlikely to last long, which was why he attacked so recklessly.
Every injury he inflicted on Shen Qian at this moment will be reflected back to Shen Qian even more severely after Shen Qian's power dissipates.
That will be Jiang Chengye's chance to deliver a fatal blow to Shen Qian.
Jiang Chengye, with his true Martial King level foundation, was confident that even if Shen Qian left many wounds on him, he could not truly endanger his life.
