Supreme Devouring God

”How dare you!”

An Imperial Guard suddenly shouted angrily at Qin Chen, this guy, he’s just too arrogant.

However, Qin Chen merely glanced at him.

Then, he stomped his right foot down.

”Boom.”

In that instant, the Imperial Guard felt as if a mountain weighing billions of pounds was pressing down on his body.

He couldn’t withstand it immediately, his legs bent, and he actually kneeled on the spot.

The wide blade in his hand was shattered by this terrifying pressure.

”Strangers should best keep their mouths shut.”

Qin Chen didn’t even look at the Imperial Guard, only said in an extremely cold manner.

The atmosphere in the entire Chu Imperial City also suddenly became extremely intense.

Many unrelated personnel gazed at this young man with shock in their eyes, so powerful, so domineering, as if this Chu Imperial City was his domain.

”Charging into the Chu Imperial City single-handedly, only the Sect Leader could pull this off,” Kun Weitian sighed.

Gu Qianjue said, ”Today the Chu Imperial City is like a dragon’s lair, the Sect Leader came easily but leaving will be like ascending the heavens.”

Mu Hongzhen said, ”Yet the Sect Leader still came, and he surely knows today’s Chu Imperial City is a dragon’s lair—this is who he is.”

Many people bowed their heads.

Qin Chen’s arrival brought them surprise and concern at the same time.

Imperial Guardian Xia Qingshan glared coldly at Qin Chen, ”Qin Chen, this is the Chu Imperial City.”

He was reminding Qin Chen, and it was also a threat.

This place is their Royal Family’s territory!

Yet Qin Chen simply disregarded them.

”So what?”

The light four words dropped down, yet seemed more powerful than anything else, instantly turning Xia Qingshan’s face pale.

”Truly arrogant to ignore everything, isn’t he,” Shangguan Yue, Vice Palace Master of the Nine Desolate Sword Sect, squinted, his tone somewhat cold.

”Release them.”

Qin Chen’s gaze fixated on Emperor Chu; the tone of this sentence didn’t sound like negotiation but rather a command.

No doubt about it.

Emperor Chu’s eyes were incredibly terrifying, as if capable of killing: ”Who do you think you are?”

Qin Chen’s eyes flickered slightly.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Then, he nodded.

The next moment, without a word, he grasped Fang Zhan and Qi Zhengyuan by their necks and lifted them suspended in the air.

At that moment, the entire Chu Imperial City, tens of thousands of eyes focused on Qin Chen.

Especially the people of the Royal Family.

Watching Qi Zhengyuan and Fang Zhan, who held high positions in their eyes, now so miserable like beggars, the shock in their hearts was unimaginable.

Qi Zhengyuan and Fang Zhan at this time felt countless gazes fall upon them, a wave of unprecedented shame, making them even afraid to open their eyes and see others.

Moreover, Qin Chen’s hand grasping their necks was just like the Hand of Death God.

As if he could end their lives at any moment, they dared not utter grievances, nor could they resist.

This lifetime’s dignity seemed lost at this moment.

”Release them.”

Qin Chen’s gaze still locked on Emperor Chu, only now his eyes turned icy cold, and his tone remained the same, undeniable.

But this time, he held two lives in his hands.

Emperor Chu’s expression momentarily became difficult to look at; the reason he hadn’t sent anyone to seize Qin Chen was right here, as Qin Chen held Qi Zhengyuan and Fang Zhan’s lives.

Now, Qin Chen was using this blatant threat against him.

And with this momentum and tone, if he refused, Qi Zhengyuan and Fang Zhan would likely lose their lives.

The space seemed to have frozen.

”He actually forced Emperor Chu into this state?”

Someone looked at Emperor Chu, whose expression was so ugly it could seemingly eat people, in awe.

”If Emperor Chu doesn’t speak up, Qin Chen truly might kill Qi Zhengyuan and Fang Zhan; and from Emperor Chu’s hesitation, it’s clear he really doesn’t dare to gamble, even with four thousand lives in his hand.”

”Qin Chen’s grasp of the situation and mentality is so good, it’s more like calculating; at the age of twenty, this is too terrifying, unmatched.”

...

At this moment, under this standoff atmosphere, many people’s view of Qin Chen ascended to a new level.

”If you dare to kill them, I’ll slaughter these four thousand!”

Emperor Chu’s tone was grim, almost roaring.

Qin Chen had leverage; he also did.

”Then try it?”

But, Qin Chen’s response remained as domineering as ever, filled with an inexplicable strong confidence throughout.

Emperor Chu stared into Qin Chen’s dark eyes.

At that moment, he realized he truly couldn’t read this young man, his confidence, even Emperor Chu hadn’t possessed.

”I don’t have nothing to do; my time is precious!”

Just as Emperor Chu pondered briefly, Qin Chen suddenly spoke coldly, pressuring Emperor Chu with time.

Emperor Chu’s face turned pale.

He, the noble Emperor, was being threatened like this now?

Yet he found himself powerless against Qin Chen.

”You release them, I release them.”

Finally, Emperor Chu spoke.

”I don’t trust you, you release them first,” Qin Chen said.

Emperor Chu’s face almost turned green.

The way this was said, it was just too direct.

Many people were at a loss for words.

”Since you don’t trust me, why should I trust you?” Emperor Chu questioned.

”Whether you believe me or not, you must believe one thing: I am not joking with you,” Qin Chen coldly stated.

Threat!

Another threat!

At this point, Emperor Chu was truly angry; he had never been so threatened repeatedly like this, silently cursing Qi Zhengyuan and Fang Zhan’s incompetence.

Otherwise, today he wouldn’t be so passive.

”Fine, I’ll release them first.”

Emperor Chu signaled to Xia Qingshan with his eyes; four thousand people, too many, Emperor Chu wasn’t worried that releasing them would mean Qin Chen wouldn’t.

Xia Qingshan’s expression also looked unpleasant; what was supposed to be a well-planned execution to serve as a warning ended up being forced to release them, naturally leaving him dissatisfied.

However, the imperial command had been issued, even though he felt dissatisfied, he wouldn’t dare defy it.

”Release them.”

Xia Qingshan ordered the Imperial Guard surrounding four thousand people.

Many Imperial Guards were sullen, yet there was no choice but to begin untying Sheng Xuefu and others.

”What on earth did this guy do?”

Sheng Xuefu was still in a daze; ever since Qin Chen called Emperor Chu a ’dog’ upon arrival, she had anticipated the Emperor would retaliate.

Ultimately, Qin Chen seized Qi Zhengyuan and Fang Zhan, continuously pressuring and threatening Emperor Chu to the point of compromise.

Sheng Xuefu felt it was like an illusory dream.

That’s why she realized Qin Chen must have done something extraordinary beforehand; otherwise, Emperor Chu wouldn’t have been threatened, right?
