Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Can Only Be Killed

Qin Chuan suddenly made his move, shocking everyone present.

"Has this guy gone mad?"

"Does he not realize what the name Liu Kuangren signifies?"

However, it was only Liu Kuangren himself who, at that moment, realized just how terrifying the masked man was.

Liu Kuangren felt an extremely dreadful aura rushing toward him like an overwhelming force.

His pupils shrank instantly, and with an almost reflexive response, his strong combat instinct made him immediately retreat.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, under the astonished gazes of all, Liu Kuangren was sent flying over a dozen steps back by Qin Chuan’s punch, stabilizing only at the edge of the mountain peak.

Even though he had chosen to retreat at the first opportunity, he was still too late.

He desperately suppressed the blood that had surged to his throat, refusing to let it spill, and stared fixedly at Qin Chuan.

"How is this possible? Did I see wrong?"

"Liu Kuangren was actually sent flying a dozen steps back by a punch from that masked man?"

"When did Shen Zhou produce such a powerful martial artist?"

...

At this moment, the spectators from all walks of life watching from the base of Cloud Summit Mountain were completely stunned.

Among these people, a majority were from foreign media who generally held great prejudice against Shen Zhou. In their eyes, it was impossible for Shen Zhou to have a warrior capable of defeating Liu Kuangren.

Even the Sovereign Master couldn’t do it!

However, right then and there, they witnessed with their own eyes Liu Kuangren being punched away by a masked warrior.

Inside the grand conference room of the Shen Zhou Battle Domain Headquarters!

The Great Elder and other Battle Domain leaders were wide-eyed, watching the live battle on the projection screen, faces filled with excitement.

"Hahaha..."

Lu Yaozong was the first to let out a hearty laugh, saying excitedly, "I knew it, Mr. Qin could suppress Liu Kuangren with just a lift of his hand."

The others also laughed, and when they looked at Lu Yaozong, their eyes were filled with envy.

After all, Qin Chuan was the powerful warrior Lu Yaozong had invited to replace the Sovereign Master in fighting Liu Kuangren. If Qin Chuan were to win, given the relationship between Lu Yaozong and Qin Chuan, Lu Yaozong’s status in the Battle Domain would surely rise significantly.

Not only that, but the Lu Family would reap great benefits as well.

"To think Mr. Qin is so strong, injuring Liu Kuangren with a single strike. Having Mr. Qin in Shen Zhou is a blessing for us!"

"Mr. Qin is still so young, yet he already possesses such a terrifying level of cultivation. One can only imagine how powerful he will become in the future. Such a monster must be kept in the Battle Domain!"

"I agree with Elder Zheng’s words. The Battle Domain must retain Mr. Qin. As long as he is with the Battle Domain, no one would dare to challenge the Shen Zhou Battle Domain for at least the next hundred years!"

...

The leaders were all making their excited statements.

However, the Great Elder was not as excited as they were; instead, he looked solemnly at the projection screen and said in a deep voice, "This is just the beginning. Liu Kuangren was sent flying with one blow because he underestimated Mr. Qin, but did you notice? Liu Kuangren is not injured; his expression has simply turned more serious."

At these words, the leaders, who had been extremely excited moments ago, suddenly came back to their senses.

As the Great Elder had said, Liu Kuangren had not taken Qin Chuan seriously, which was why he had been caught off guard.

The Great Elder spoke gravely, "Liu Kuangren is about to get serious. The fight is just beginning!"

At the summit of Cloud Summit Mountain!

Although Qin Chuan had sent Liu Kuangren retreating with the first strike, he did not press his advantage. His intention was to make Liu Kuangren take the battle seriously, which was why he had taken the initiative to attack first.

In truth, he was also profoundly shocked.

Although he had resolved the Heart Devouring Gu, it had already caused great damage to his body. Until the flesh around his heart had fully recovered, his cultivation level could not maintain its peak state.

Currently, he had only regained thirty percent of his cultivation.

Just now, when he made a move against Liu Kuangren, he had directly used ten percent of his strength, yet he had merely pushed Liu Kuangren back several steps.

Liu Kuangren had not even sustained any injuries.

This was the first time he had used so much power against someone since he had begun to regain his cultivation.

According to his estimate, if he wanted to defeat Liu Kuangren, he would need to unleash at least thirty percent of his cultivation, or perhaps even forty percent.

It could be said that Liu Kuangren was the strongest opponent he had encountered in the Secular World.

"Who exactly are you?"

At that moment, Liu Kuangren suddenly spoke, staring intently at Qin Chuan as he said, "To my knowledge, in Shen Zhou, apart from the Sovereign Master, there are no other martial artists of this level."

Without waiting for Qin Chuan to speak, Liu Kuangren, looking contemplative, murmured to himself, "Since you’re wearing a mask, either you don’t want others to know your identity, or the Shen Zhou Battle Domain doesn’t want your identity to be exposed."

"If it’s the Battle Domain that doesn’t want to expose your identity, then it must be because your identity is sensitive, and its revelation would bring great negative impact to the Battle Domain."

"But if it’s you who doesn’t want to reveal your true identity, then there’s only one possibility, that you have powerful enemies."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Qin Chuan’s face, concealed behind the mask.

Although Liu Kuangren had not guessed completely correctly, he was pretty close.

"Regardless of the reason, I still offer you an opportunity. As long as you are willing to join the Green Gate Sect, you will be the Vice Sect Leader, second only to one and above ten thousand."

Liu Kuangren’s gaze was fervently fixed on Qin Chuan as he spoke.

Hearing his words, everyone paying attention to this battle widened their eyes.

It was indeed a surprise that Liu Kuangren was willing to offer the position of Vice Sect Leader to recruit the masked individual.

Inside the meeting room of the Shen Zhou Battle Domain Headquarters, a group of high-ranking officials watched the projection screen with faces full of concern.

If Qin Chuan truly accepted Liu Kuangren’s offer, this scheduled battle would be better off if they had sent any ordinary strong martial artist to face Liu Kuangren—even a loss would be seen as the Battle Domain having no one worthy.

But now, Qin Chuan had revealed his formidable strength. If he were recruited by Liu Kuangren under these circumstances, then the Shen Zhou Battle Domain would truly be disgraced.

Lu Yaozong’s fists were tightly clenched. Although he didn’t believe Qin Chuan would accept Liu Kuangren’s proposition, he was still very worried.

After all, the Green Gate Sect was one of the most powerful external forces in the world, and its Vice Sect Leader’s status was one of great authority and freedom.

Compared to staying with the Shen Zhou Battle Domain, Qin Chuan’s status would be higher at the Green Gate Sect, and he would have more freedom.

For a martial artist of this level, freedom is the most important.

"How about I give you an opportunity instead?"

Qin Chuan suddenly chuckled, looking at the deeply furrowed Liu Kuangren and said, "If you concede now, I’ll spare your life."

He was serious. It was not easy to encounter such a strong opponent in the Secular World, and he felt somewhat reluctant to bully him.

Yes, in his view, fighting Liu Kuangren was tantamount to bullying.

After all, his own cultivation had come from Kunlun Divine Prison, while Liu Kuangren had reached this level through cultivation in the Secular World, an achievement not easily attained.

His words also directly stupefied the onlookers from various domains.

To ask Liu Kuangren to admit defeat—was this some kind of international joke?

It was known that in Shen Zhou, only the leading martial artist, the Sovereign Master, might have a chance to defeat Liu Kuangren.

"You’re seeking death!"

Liu Kuangren’s gaze turned ice-cold as a terrifying aura burst from within him.

If he could not join forces, then he could only be killed!
