Chapter 1624 - 1617: How Could This Happen? (Second Update)
"How could this happen?" Elder Yon stepped back in despair, so agitated that blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Could it be that Young boy Su is really going to die inside the Ancient City?
Zhao Lingxi even forgot to retreat, as the gravel, dust, and aura from the collapsing Ancient City surged toward her.
She looked extremely embarrassed.
She was also injured.
For dozens of breaths.
The collapse of the Ancient City gradually stabilized.
Everywhere was filled with ruins.
The visual impact was shocking.
Elder Yon and Ling Tuanzhi both stood there, their eyes bloodshot, their fists clenched tightly.
"Azure Heaven is unfair!!!" Ling Tuanzhi whispered hoarsely.
Even if he believed Su Chen could create miracles, in front of their eyes... endless ruins felt like a Divine Mountain had collapsed, suppressing everything. Even such a Supreme Treasure as the Ancient City shattered, Su Chen was inside it, could he really survive?
"Brother Ling, accept my condolences." Gu Tianmiao’s playful voice came through: "Su Chen must have done something heaven-defying and enraged everyone? That’s why even the Ancient City collapsed. What a pity for the Ancient City. It had stood in this desert for forty million years, and now it’s just broken, truly lamentable!"
"Brother Ling, everything is destined, accept my condolences." Dugu Nantian’s voice also came, although compared to Gu Tianmiao’s playful tone, it carried a bit more pretended decorum, yet perhaps he was already laughing with joy inside?
Ling Tuanzhi said nothing, but the Tianyuan Sword in his hand buzzed and hissed.
He was so angry he wanted to destroy heaven and earth.
"Pavilion Master, calm down, maybe there will be a miracle, the miracles created by Young boy Su are quite a few." Elder Yon spoke.
At this moment, if Ling Tuanzhi really erupted and wanted to take action against Shen Qinglin, Gu Tianmiao, and Dugu Nantian, setting aside that Dugu Nantian and Gu Tianmiao were ten thousand miles away, without the conditions to start a fight.
Even if there were, the ones to suffer would still be the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion.
No matter how strong the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion is, it can’t go one-on-three. Moreover, all the high-ranking members and disciples on the Xuanshi list are here. If a life-and-death struggle ensues, most of these Xuanshi disciples and high-ranking members will suffer severe losses.
"Brother Ling..." In the distance, Shen Qinglin’s gaze was already cast over, with some mockery and coldness: "Looking at it this way, my disciple is still more outstanding, after all, being alive is most important, right?"
Ling Tuanzhi had no energy or mood to deal with Shen Qinglin and kept silent.
"Master, that Su Chen, probably did something he shouldn’t have in the Ancient City, and that’s why he suffered retribution." Sui Yiren laughed openly: "Otherwise, why have so many geniuses entered the Ancient City over millions of years, and all came out alive, and some even brought treasures back, but when it comes to him, it ended like this?"
In front of the ruins, countless Martial Cultivators were sighing as they stared at Ling Tuanzhi, Elder Yon, and others from the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, really bittersweet joy!!!
Such a pity, what a pity!
Perhaps, just as Sui Yiren said, Su Chen did something he shouldn’t have in the city, and that’s why he faced such backlash and retribution?
"Master, since that kid has been buried with the Ancient City, shouldn’t we leave?" Sui Yiren asked, what should we stay around for now? This trip is almost Perfection, right?
Except for Su Chen being dead.
That’s enough reason to celebrate.
Nothing else matters, no matter what kind of heaven-defying achievements Su Chen created, or how many incredible miracles, since he’s dead, they all become past, history.
In fact, it won’t be long before it becomes a legend, and, not many will believe it.
"It is time to go back." Shen Qinglin stroked his beard, nodding heavily.
The next moment.
Just as Shen Qinglin and Sui Yiren were about to leave, and just as the crowd seemed to disperse.
Suddenly!!!
"It’s... it’s... it’s Brother Su..." Abruptly, Zhao Lingxi’s trembling voice broke the silence and stillness.
Zhao Lingxi, with a face full of tears, looked extremely disheveled, yet her bright eyes were dazzlingly bright, she trembled all over, raised her hand, and pointed at the ruins.
Instantly.
Shen Qinglin and Sui Yiren halted.
The crowd that was about to disperse also stopped.
Even Gu Tianmiao, Dugu Nantian, and others, who were watching in secret, refocused their attention.
Sure enough.
Among the ruins.
A figure was slowly walking out.
He looked entirely out of place with the ruins, because there wasn’t a speck of dust on him.
He didn’t appear injured either.
His eyes were still bright, his faint smile and calm demeanor were still so familiar.
Su Chen!!!
Who else could it be but Su Chen?
He... he really walked out alive?
How is this possible?
This is completely like seeing a ghost!
At the front of the collapsing ruins, the crowd was all frozen like stone statues, unmoving, staring at Su Chen, who had yet again created a Miracle!
"Brother Su..." Zhao Lingxi rushed forward like crazy: "Brother Su, you scared me to death..."
Like a koala, she clung to Su Chen and refused to let go, truly frightened.
Just a moment ago, when the Ancient City collapsed, she truly felt a sense of utter doom, as if her soul had departed, almost like dying.
At that moment, she realized Brother Su’s place in her heart was even higher than she had imagined.
"Girl, get down, so many people are watching." Su Chen comforted Zhao Lingxi, feeling somewhat moved inside.
This girl, must have been terrified earlier, seeing her disheveled state, you know when the city collapsed, she didn’t dodge or retreat?
"No, I don’t want to." Zhao Lingxi refused to let go.
"Young boy Su, you... you really are!!!" In the distance, Ling Tuanzhi couldn’t help but want to scold Su Chen, this Little Rascal, always scaring people, how could anything involving Su Chen ever be peaceful? It’s almost like living in constant anxiety.
"I told you, this kid has great fortune, won’t die." Elder Yon’s aged face, whose pallor quickly turned to red, returned to normal, his eyes almost squinting with laughter.
Though Dugu Nantian and Gu Tianmiao were not present, at the moment, both of them were furious.
From Paradise to Hell!
The Ancient City obviously collapsed, how could this kid come out unscathed?! It shouldn’t be!
Shen Qinglin’s face was so dark, it seemed to drip water.
Sui Yiren was biting his teeth, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
If there was no hope, it would be fine, but now, given hope, clearly Su Chen seemed to have entered Hell, yet came back to life, this feeling is truly unpleasant.
How does Su Chen have such a big life?! Not dying despite everything?
Sui Yiren felt so stifled he could hardly breathe.
