"War King's friend!"
When these words fell, they instantly spread through this endless spatial turbulence like a thunderclap, vast and mighty.
Everyone was stunned. War King himself looked at the man, feeling a sense of familiarity. When his gaze landed on the faint yet familiar Moon Mark between the man's eyebrows, he immediately understood. An excited expression surged across his face, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily: "So it's you! You actually showed up. Perhaps this really is a better choice."
"That's right. This can only be a better choice. There has never been a better choice than this. Believe me," Ye Chen smiled, radiantly.
"Naturally, I believe. As long as you're here, everything will be fine," War King laughed heartily, feeling more relieved and happy than ever before.
For this old friend, nothing was difficult.
"Your child is good, very strong, very much like you," Ye Chen looked at the young child in War King's hands. Though covered in blood, the child was no longer crying, showing great fortitude. He stared at Ye Chen with his dark, bright eyes, seemingly puzzled about who he was.
"Yes, his name is Qin Wushuang," War King said, his gaze softening only when looking at the child, just like any other father looking at his own son.
Qin Wushuang—a name full of spirit. Was it the hope that he would be peerless in the future?
"A very good name. Peerless in the world—he will surely be so," Ye Chen nodded. Without any consideration for the blood on him, he patted the child's small head. A shower of golden radiance fell, washing away all traces of blood and restoring the clean, adorable little boy.
War King said to Qin Wushuang, "Shuang'er, this is your Uncle Qian."
"Uncle Qian," Qin Wushuang, though he didn't know who Ye Chen was, was still happy to see him appear, though also a bit nervous. "Uncle Qian, these people are bullying Shuang'er and my parents. Can you help Shuang'er teach these people a lesson?"
"Of course. Your father is your uncle's sworn brother," Ye Chen smiled. At the same time, a fiery golden blood energy shot out from the crown of his head and entered War King's body, carrying his essence blood. The Divine King Rebirth Art was operating, rapidly healing his injuries.
"Who are you?" Qin Ziyang did not immediately attack. He had an intuition that this man bathed in golden radiance was very special and also very powerful, beyond expectations, making him cautious.
"War King's friend," Ye Chen repeated the same phrase.
"Although we don't know who you are, if you dare interfere in the Qin family's affairs, even if you are a Heavenly King, it won't do. Be sensible and leave quickly. We can let bygones be bygones," another old Heavenly King beside Qin Ziyang spoke up, his voice cold, yet also wary of Ye Chen, unwilling to complicate matters. After all, their target was only War King.
"Uncle Qian!" Qin Wushuang opened his big eyes wide, looking at Ye Chen with worry, afraid he might leave.
"Don't worry," Ye Chen patted his head and had Yiyi go over to keep Qin Wushuang company. He then turned around to face the Qin family's five Heavenly Kings. "Although I don't know why you are pursuing War King, he is my brother. Anyone who dares harm him—this matter will not be let go."
Upon hearing this, the five Heavenly Kings' faces immediately darkened. What did these words mean? Did he not put them in his eyes at all?
"Although we don't know who you are, you are the first person in so many years to dare speak to us so arrogantly," one of the Heavenly Kings snorted coldly.
Qin Ziyang also wore a grim expression. "Do you really intend to oppose our Qin family?"
"I'm not even afraid of an imperial clan, let alone a mere Qin family," Ye Chen sneered coldly. "Moreover, do you think you can kill me? No!"
He shook his head, showing disdain, both in words and actions.
"You—" The Qin family's five Heavenly Kings were furious. But the next moment, everyone's expressions changed, because Ye Chen took a great stride forward. His entire body was radiant and colorful, every inch of his physique shimmering with surging golden light, swirling in a misty flow. Great Dao divine power filled every meridian in his body, brimming with boundless power, like an invincible divine demon emerging into the world, terrifying beyond measure.
From his body, a terrifying, peerless might erupted, directly sweeping through the endless spatial turbulence, forcibly calming the frenzied currents.
"This—"
Everyone in the seven-colored spatial channel instantly changed color, especially the seven powerhouses who had previously wanted to attack Ye Chen. Now, feeling his true might, they were instantly struck with fear.
How vast and boundless that might was! Even separated by such a great distance, they still felt like ants facing a supreme dragon, utterly incapable of confronting it.
They never expected that this young man was actually such a terrifying peerless powerhouse, at the very least a Heavenly King.
The Qin family's five Heavenly Kings also paled, because this was definitely not a might an ordinary Heavenly King could possess. This young man before them was far stronger than a typical Heavenly King.
At this very moment, Ye Chen suddenly attacked. His entire being was like a humanoid tyrannosaurus rex breaking out of its cage. His peerlessly terrifying might blotted out the sky and covered the earth, suppressing everything. The distant seven-colored spatial channel nearly collapsed, a testament to its power.
Ye Chen traversed the long sky, descending before the Qin family's five Heavenly Kings. That boundless, immense Great Dao might caused the four Heavenly Kings besides Qin Ziyang to tremble uncontrollably, their hearts filled with terror. Facing it head-on was far more terrifying than before. Powerful as they were as Heavenly Kings, they felt their physiques were about to be torn apart.
Boom—
Without a word, Ye Chen directly threw a punch, as if a deity were striking, terrifying beyond measure.
Boom—
This was a powerful Heavenly King who had entered the Heavenly King realm five hundred years ago. Though still only an early-stage Heavenly King, he was undoubtedly a top-tier figure renowned throughout the myriad realms.
Yet, even so, and even with a Heavenly King battle armor protecting his body, facing Ye Chen's punch, he was sent flying as if struck by lightning, his physique torn, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
That Heavenly King battle armor clearly bore a fist imprint, with many cracks spreading out from it, nearly causing it to collapse and shatter. One could imagine just how fearsome that punch was.
This was a Heavenly King Dao weapon, far harder than an ordinary Heavenly King's treasure body, yet it was almost shattered. The opponent's combat power was simply like that of a Supreme One or Great Emperor's reincarnation in their youth—supreme and invincible.
Qin Ziyang's expression changed slightly, but he couldn't possibly leave now. He was the first to charge forward. Having earlier taken precious medicinal pills to heal his injuries and recover most of his strength, he now advanced, unleashing a brilliant expanse of purple light imbued with intense Heavenly King Dao principles. It rumbled forth, engulfing Ye Chen.
