"Let’s start." Su Chen spoke.
"Although I promise, today will become the most desperate day of your life, and I promise, your life will end today, I still want to say, your courage is commendable. If it weren’t for Han Yue, perhaps seeing your courage, I might have spared your life." Xue Chi said softly, revealing his true feelings.
"Oh." Unfortunately, Su Chen merely responded with an ’oh’.
This casual, seemingly dismissive ’oh’ from Su Chen seemed to provoke Xue Chi. Suddenly, Xue Chi’s demeanor became even darker.
His eyes shone brightly, like silver hooks hanging upside down, a piercing gaze erupting forward, locking onto Su Chen.
At the same time.
"Huh..."
Xue Chi’s throat, like the epicenter of a great ocean’s tsunami, boomed loudly, trembled with roaring, and spat out this syllable.
Accompanied by Xue Chi’s aura.
From the beginning, Xue Chi was releasing his aura, unleashing the aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile.
In an instant, only trembling remained in the entire Martial Arts Arena, even the air receded, even the Triple Void made way—this aura was too majestic, too tyrannical, possessing extreme ancient power and bloodline oppression, rippling through the air, as if the weight of the air had been increased by ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times, crushing every martial cultivator present, making each feel their cells and blood wavering, making them feel their pores completely blocked.
More terrifying, many of the martial cultivators included those who had bonded with their demon beasts—partners signed in life-and-death contracts.
Yet at this moment, almost all of these bonded demon beasts were on the ground, only twitching, some even vomiting blood, looking as if they were being suppressed to the brink of death.
No choice—the aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile was too domineering, like an emperor, while the aura of other demon beasts was just ordinary people or subjects. Encountering the emperor implies fear, awe, and suppression to the brink of death.
This aura from Xue Chi naturally first locked onto Su Chen.
Almost materialized.
From afar, it was like a roaring great river, rushing towards Su Chen fiercely.
Su Chen seemed like a solitary, weak leaf encountering a boundless hurricane.
Extremely helpless.
"What... what... what should we do?" Xue Hanyue bit her silver teeth tightly, teeth grinding, if anyone could understand the pressure Su Chen was under now, it was only her. On that day, at the Cold Abyss Palace, Xue Chi challenged her, finally using the aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile to suppress her, she nearly got pressured into becoming the Soul of Death. Su Chen definitely couldn’t withstand it, absolutely couldn’t.
But what could she possibly do?
Rush towards the Marriage Proposal Stage now? Help Su Chen?
To say something sad, she simply didn’t have the strength to rush forward now. Facing Xue Chi’s aura, perhaps there was someone present who could intervene in their battle, but at least those with Domain Master Realm strength could, she simply couldn’t. Even getting within a hundred meters of the Marriage Proposal Stage was difficult, once more, the aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile was too terrifying.
However.
Just as everyone, including Xue Chi, Ye Zhi, Nan Yunyi, Shee Tianshi, Shee Mi, and all thought Su Chen would be oppressed by this supreme, overwhelming, massive, ancient, ultimate aura with his internal organs ruptured, becoming a void, his divine soul shattered...
Su Chen remained... completely motionless.
Standing not far from Xue Chi, even the playful look on his face showed no sign of restraint.
As if at this moment, the supreme oppressive force, tearing power from the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile that everyone present felt, was just an illusion.
Su Chen’s ease, indifference, disregard formed a stark, strange contrast with others’ seriousness, gravity, awe, trepidation.
Xue Chi’s gaze grew increasingly flickering, increasingly bright, like the solar in clear sky, scorching yet sinister, firmly staring at Su Chen, as if his gaze could pierce through Su Chen, with boundless fury raging deep in his eyes.
Su Chen remained motionless, expression unchanged?!!!
How was this possible?
This exceeded his expectations completely.
In fact, the aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile he released at this moment wasn’t at its utmost; it was only a small portion.
He did so deliberately because he feared if fully unleashed, Su Chen would directly turn to ashes—it wouldn’t be good. He planned to torment Su Chen harshly, making Su Chen experience despair worse than death.
Yet even just a small portion of the aura wasn’t simple, at least it easily suppressed an eight or nine layers Divine Lord Realm martial cultivator, forcing them down on their knees, unable to struggle.
But Su Chen?
Not a trace felt.
Seemingly never sensed the aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile at all—this... was just too strange!
"Ah..." Xue Chi naturally couldn’t accept it, anger kindled slowly, abruptly, his aura escalated, like the floodgate of a dam hitting its peak suddenly opened, roaring, turbulent, uninhibitedly surging, impacting, the aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile from Xue Chi’s body madly condensed, refined, grandeur rising, forming an emperor crocodile torrent, rushing with claws wide at Su Chen.
And at this moment in the Martial Arts Arena, as Xue Chi’s released aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile grew more intense, some martial cultivators were beginning to sustain heavy injuries or even had their internal organs oppressed into fragments, even turning bonded demon beasts into mere Essence Blood.
Even Ye Zhi, Xue Hanyue, such top-tier monsters, were trembling, suffering significant oppression.
Even Shee Mi on the Third Level of the Marriage Proposal Stage had opened her Mysterious Qi Protective Shield, feeling somewhat unable to resist anymore. She was still in Half-Step Realm Master Boundary! Yet still felt her divine soul and heart oppressed by an irresistible Power of the Azure Heaven, suffocating her, even making her legs tremble as if at any moment she might crouch down.
Shee Mi’s beautiful, delicate face was filled with horror and shock—too strong!!! Xue Chi was too strong!
Just his aura immobilized her in Half-Step Realm Master Boundary.
Was he still human?
Among the younger generation, Xue Chi’s strength completely surpassed others by many grades!
However, compared to her shock at Xue Chi’s power, the greater emotional fluctuation in Shee Mi was over Su Chen. She stared at Su Chen, feeling utterly peculiar, because at this moment, Su Chen remained completely motionless, still smiling...
As if Xue Chi’s aura oppressed everyone else, but not Su Chen.
