Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Dumber than a Pig

Qin Chuan’s voice was utterly cold, and the aura emanating from his body was terrifyingly powerful.

The Guardian of the Eight’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his complexion turned pale at a visibly rapid rate, his body shuddering uncontrollably.

"I, I just spoke in anger. As the Guardian of the Eight of the Guardian Hall, how could I possibly commit the act of killing ordinary people?"

The Guardian of the Eight hurriedly denied.

He was filled with disbelief. Qin Chuan had clearly been utterly destroyed in body and life force under the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation; how had he suddenly come back to life?

At this moment, the powerful aura Qin Chuan exuded made him feel somewhat desperate.

Clearly, Qin Chuan had successfully transcended the tribulation. In his knowledge, throughout history, Qin Chuan was the first martial artist to attract the Heavenly Tribulation at the Emperor Peak Realm and to successfully transcend it.

Facing a freshly minted Sovereign Realm powerhouse who had passed the Heavenly Tribulation, the Guardian of the Eight could not muster any will to fight.

It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to fight, but the mere pressure emanating from Qin Chuan informed him that he was no match for Qin Chuan now.

"Spoken in anger?"

Qin Chuan let out a cold laugh, then shouted angrily, "Do you really think I didn’t hear what you just said?"

"Bang bang bang!"

With his roar, the rocks beneath his feet disintegrated, and a terrifying aura surged towards the Guardian of the Eight like a tsunami.

"Step step step!"

The Guardian of the Eight couldn’t avoid it and was directly forced three steps back by this aura.

Although he had only stepped back three steps, it caused a huge turmoil in the Guardian of the Eight’s heart.

Even though Qin Chuan had transcended the Heavenly Tribulation, he was only a fledgling practitioner in the Sovereign Realm!

The Guardian of the Eight was also a Sovereign Realm powerhouse, and moreover, one who had broken through to the Sovereign Realm earlier than Qin Chuan. Both being Sovereign Realm powerhouses, yet merely from the burst of aura, Qin Chuan had actually forced the Guardian of the Eight to retreat three steps, which was utterly shocking.

"I can apologize!"

The Guardian of the Eight, despite the fear in his heart, forced himself to speak calmly, "I offer my sincere apology for what I have done today, and I hope you will let me off for the sake of the Guardian Hall’s face."

After speaking, he directly tossed the ring he wore on his index finger towards Qin Chuan, adding, "This Storage Ring contains all my cultivation resources, consider it a compensation."

A cold glint flickered in Qin Chuan’s eyes as he said coolly, "If I kill you, this Storage Ring will still be mine."

The Guardian of the Eight’s eyebrows twitched; suppressing the displeasure in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "There are indeed some cultivation resources that I didn’t bring out from the Guardian Hall. If you have the courage, you can follow me there now, and I will give you those resources as well."

Though he said this, the killing intent in his heart was at its peak.

As long as Qin Chuan dared to follow him to the Guardian Hall, he guaranteed that Qin Chuan would die.

At the Guardian Hall, he was only ranked as the Seventh Guardian, but above the Guardians, there was...

Trying to extort possessions from a Guardian of the Guardian Hall was simply courting death.

Of course, even if Qin Chuan didn’t dare to follow him to the Guardian Hall, it didn’t matter. As long as he could temporarily stabilize Qin Chuan and wait for the Guardian Hall’s reinforcements to arrive, Qin Chuan would still not escape death.

Qin Chuan remained silent, merely looking at the Guardian of the Eight with a mocking gaze.

Feeling unnerved under Qin Chuan’s stare, the Guardian of the Eight reluctantly said, "Of course, asking you to follow me to the Guardian Hall is indeed somewhat inappropriate. If you are willing to trust me, give me one hour, and I guarantee I will bring all the resources I have left at the Guardian Hall to you."

"It’s just a matter of whether you’re willing to gamble for more cultivation resources."

Qin Chuan still said nothing, nor did he seem inclined to make a move, which made the Guardian of the Eight increasingly impatient.

If Qin Chuan had shown fear, or had acted by now, he wouldn’t be as impatient as he is at present.

Qin Chuan remained too composed, making the Eighth Guardian feel the illusion that everything was under Qin Chuan’s control.

Could it be that he realized I was just stalling for time?

No, if he knew I was stalling, why wouldn’t he take action? Why would he instead cooperate with me to stall?

But if he didn’t realize I was stalling, what was he waiting for?

As time ticked by, Qin Chuan showed no signs of action, and the Eighth Guardian stopped speaking, but his fear had reached its apex.

At that moment, several terrifying presences suddenly descended, calming the Eighth Guardian’s anxiety at last.

A smirk curled up at the corner of his mouth, and looking at Qin Chuan mockingly, he said, "You’re still too green, to actually have let me await reinforcements from Guardian Hall."

No sooner had his voice faded than four richly dressed, formidable figures appeared, three of whom exuded the aura of the Emperor Peak Realm.

And the elderly leader among them exuded an extremely terrifying aura, far surpassing the three subordinates he brought, and even surpassing the Eighth Guardian himself.

"Seventh Guardian!"

The Eighth Guardian greeted the leader with great respect and then pointed at Qin Chuan, saying through gritted teeth, "This brat here holds the Lotus Ring of the Qin Royal Family. Not only that, he’s also the number one fugitive wanted by Kunlun Divine Prison."

Having said this, he looked at Qin Chuan with arrogance, "Kid, weren’t you acting all tough just now? Continue being arrogant!

However, faced with his provocation, Qin Chuan’s lips gently curved upwards, forming a mocking smile. He glanced at the Seventh Guardian, then turned to the Eighth Guardian and said, "I must say, you really are stupid!"

"What did you say?"

The Eighth Guardian, who could never have imagined Qin Chuan’s words, immediately became infuriated with embarrassment and yelled at the Seventh Guardian, "Seventh Guardian, kill this brat for me, and I’ll owe you a favor!"

"Shut your mouth!"

The Seventh Guardian barked angrily, sounding rather displeased, "He’s not wrong about anything; you truly are stupid, even a pig is smarter than you."

"You..."

The Eighth Guardian had wanted to explode in anger, but he quickly remembered that the Seventh Guardian was the reinforcement he had called upon, and for them to kill him, with only one hand left functioning, would be as simple as squashing a chicken.

Without a trace of disdain in his eyes, the Seventh Guardian looked solemnly at Qin Chuan and said, "I truly didn’t expect that there would be someone in this world capable of drawing a Heavenly Tribulation at the Emperor Peak Realm and successfully transcending it. Young man, you are very impressive."

"If I’m not mistaken, the reason you didn’t strike at the Eighth Guardian isn’t that you didn’t want to but because you’re still recovering from the great toll taken by the Heavenly Tribulation you recently transcended," he added.

These words made the Eighth Guardian’s complexion change drastically.

Right! How could this kid recover to his peak state instantly after transcending the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation?

That meant, the reason Qin Chuan hadn’t acted was that he simply didn’t have the strength to kill him.

Qin Chuan had deliberately shown a strong aura to intimidate him.

In other words, if he had just been a little firmer just now, there might have been hope of killing Qin Chuan.

No wonder Qin Chuan had called him stupid, and so had the Seventh Guardian—it all made sense now!

At this moment, the Eighth Guardian wished he could slap himself.

Not to mention being called stupid by Qin Chuan and the Seventh Guardian, he even wanted to curse at himself for being stupid.

Qin Chuan looked impassively toward the Seventh Guardian and spoke, "Let’s skip the compliments and get straight to the point."

A hint of appreciation flashed in the Seventh Guardian’s eyes, and he nodded slightly, saying, "His life, I will spare!"
