"It's you!"
The leader of the Shadow Clan captain immediately recognized Xu Chuan, who had suddenly appeared.
After all, he had sneaked into Xu Chuan's residence late at night to assassinate him, only to be countered by the Golden Ancient Palace and severely injured by Situ Lin, forcing him to flee with a severed arm using a secret technique.
After that incident, he spent a considerable amount of time recovering.
Since then, he had etched Xu Chuan's appearance into his memory and had been seeking an opportunity to kill him.
It was this hatred that propelled him from the eighth level of Tongtian Realm to the first level of Tianwang Realm.
He had planned to find an opportunity to secretly eliminate Xu Chuan after this mission.
After all, for the Shadow Clan, assassinating from the shadows was almost an ingrained instinct!
He never expected to encounter Xu Chuan here!
Looking at the three of them, and then at the deserted, dilapidated Beast God Clan grounds behind them, a thought that terrified even him surfaced in his mind.
"Did you destroy the Beast God Clan?"
He asked Xu Chuan in a low voice.
He stopped fleeing.
He had to understand what had happened here.
"No, no, no."
"The Beast God Clan members were not killed by me."
Xu Chuan replied, shaking his head.
Hearing this, the Shadow Clan captain breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Xu Chuan continue, "They were all killed by Wang Hao."
"I merely killed Wang Hao!"
Xu Chuan's words struck him like thunder.
"What?"
"The Clan Leader died by your hand?"
His face was filled with shock, and he looked at Xu Chuan with suspicion.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't comprehend how Xu Chuan, a martial artist at the second level of Tongtian Realm, along with two human ants also at the Tongtian Realm, could have killed a powerhouse at the fifth level of Tianwang Realm.
He was unaware that Wang Hao had possessed a clone of the Beast God, making his strength comparable to the eighth level of Tianwang Realm.
Otherwise, he would have been even more astonished.
Meanwhile, the other Shadow Clan members seemed not to have grasped the current situation.
Upon hearing that Wang Hao was killed by Xu Chuan, one of the youths immediately roared, "Kill him, avenge the Clan Leader!"
Under his lead, the other Shadow Clan members also began to shout indignantly, "Kill him!"
"Avenge him!"
Xu Chuan looked at these Shadow Clan members with the eyes of an idiot.
He wondered how these morons had managed to survive this long.
Even Wang Hao was no match for him and had been slain by him.
Knowing this, instead of fleeing immediately, they dared to provoke him?
Where did they get such courage?
Was it solely based on this newly promoted first-level Tianwang Realm individual before them?
It was a joke!
Xu Chuan sneered, "Insects like you dare to provoke me?"
"My not acting now is the greatest mercy I can offer you!"
Xu Chuan's words caused the face of the Shadow Clan youth who had spoken earlier to turn ashen and flushed.
His eyes filled with resentment.
His gaze towards Xu Chuan was filled with hatred and killing intent.
At such a young age, he had become a martial artist at the fourth level of Tongtian Realm.
He was the most talented among the remaining members of the Shadow Clan.
Normally, everyone treated him with utmost respect!
He was the one most likely to inherit the leadership of the Shadow Clan from Wang Hao in the future.
Today, he was being called an ant by someone who was only at the second level of Tongtian Realm?
How could he tolerate this!
"Kill him, Uncle Qiu Yuan!"
"Avenge the Clan Leader!"
He pointed at Xu Chuan and continued to provoke him.
He urged the Shadow Clan captain, who was blocking the front, to act.
Xu Chuan also learned his name.
"Noisy!"
"Today, the fate of your Shadow Clan will be the same as the Beast God Clan; not a single one of you will escape!"
Xu Chuan said lightly.
Hearing this, the grim-faced youth's expression brightened, and then, as if hearing a joke, he displayed a mocking expression.
"With you? You intend to annihilate my Shadow Clan?"
"The Clan Leader's death at your hands must have been an accident, and you took advantage of the situation."
"Now, all my clan members are here. How can you, a martial artist at the second level of Tongtian Realm, claim to kill us all?"
Even now, he refused to believe that Xu Chuan had personally killed Wang Hao.
He thought Xu Chuan had merely picked up a bargain after Wang Hao had an accident.
This was why he urged Qiu Yuan to kill Xu Chuan.
As for why he didn't attack himself?
It was entirely because he had heard of Xu Chuan's past feats and was filled with fear, thus not daring to act!
The youth's words seemed to give Qiu Yuan a new perspective.
"Right, you only ambushed our Clan Leader when he was unprepared!"
"How could you possibly kill our Clan Leader head-on!"
Qiu Yuan, having recovered from his shock, regained a glint in his eyes.
Only this explanation seemed to make sense of how Xu Chuan could have killed Wang Hao.
"Heh, since you don't believe it, then let's try!"
Xu Chuan chuckled and raised his right hand.
A hand made of condensed energy reappeared, directly grabbing the young man, who was hiding behind Qiu Yuan, by the neck.
Turning red in the face from suffocation.
"Let's start with you!"
With that, Xu Chuan acted without hesitation.
In the youth's terrified gaze, the hand directly crushed his head.
"How dare you!"
Qiu Yuan was shocked and enraged.
The strength Xu Chuan displayed at this moment was formidable!
However, his actions were excessively arrogant!
He dared to take the initiative against their dozen or so Shadow Clan members.
And he had killed the most talented junior of his clan!
"Attack together, kill them for me!"
Qiu Yuan roared, and the remaining Shadow Clan members behind him also recovered from their shock.
All of them wore hateful expressions.
"Kill!"
After a long shout, they all charged towards Xu Chuan and the other two.
However, this time, Xu Chuan did not intervene.
He handed the battlefield over to Su Miaoyin and Feng Qingyang.
He stood on the sidelines, observing.
Even a first-level Tianwang Realm expert like Qiu Yuan could be killed by the combined efforts of these two!
It was time for them to gain some experience.
"Die!"
Feng Qingyang, unwilling to be outdone, immediately unleashed his great hammer and charged towards the experts of the Shadow Clan.
He had long wanted to test his strength but had never had the opportunity.
Now that the chance had come, he was determined to display his might and earn Xu Chuan's admiration!
And not to betray Xu Chuan's trust in him!
On the other side.
Su Miaoyin also unleashed her attacks with full force, plunging into the crowd and engaging in combat.
For a moment, the Shadow Clan members were forced to retreat steadily under the onslaught of the two!
Qiu Yuan's face turned grim upon seeing this.
How could the humans around Xu Chuan be so monstrously strong?
They were simply leaving no room for survival!
Immediately, he prepared to join the battle and assist his clan members.
However, Xu Chuan would never allow him to do so.
He reached out and stopped Qiu Yuan.
"You don't need to participate in their battle!"
"Take one more step, and you die!"
Xu Chuan said coldly.
He had already killed several Tianwang Realm martial artists.
He didn't mind adding another one!
