Chu Chen silently recited the opponent's name, seemingly recalling such a person. This individual was not only famous among the Xiongnu but also well-known in the Yunyue Kingdom.
Previously, when Chu Chen and other experts had assessed the strong individuals of various countries, this person had been mentioned. He hadn't expected him to appear here this time.
"You can come to my Yunyue Kingdom, it seems it's because of me?" Chu Chen said with some curiosity.
The other party shook his head, a look of disdain on his face.
"With your strength, you are not enough to make our entire Xiongnu take you so seriously."
Jin Lun sneered, then added, "The reason our Xiongnu have come to the Yunyue Kingdom is, of course, to control your entire nation."
"You are just a slightly more conspicuous one among ordinary people, don't think too highly of yourself."
Saying this, Jin Lun was about to attack Chu Chen again. After capturing Chu Chen, he intended to deal with more Yunyue officials. Some Yunyue officials were already becoming disobedient, and he needed to discipline them.
Chu Chen quickly used the Wind God's Leg, employing his perfect movement technique to evade the opponent.
Although it was only a moment, the two chased each other as if an eternity had passed. Chu Chen was determined to shake off his pursuer, but this cultivator proved to be more troublesome than he had imagined.
"I truly didn't expect your movement technique to be so good; I hadn't noticed it before." Jin Lun shook his head, looking surprised.
Chu Chen was speechless, "Your movement technique isn't bad either, but given fifteen minutes, you might not be able to catch me."
Jin Lun sneered, "Who do you think you are? Fifteen minutes is already generous of me."
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't play with you here anymore." With that, Jin Lun suddenly attacked Chu Chen, targeting the direction Chu Chen was heading.
Almost every path Chu Chen could take was completely blocked by Jin Lun, leaving him with no direction to escape. Chu Chen had no choice but to stop where he was. He was now cornered, and his spiritual energy was insufficient to sustain a prolonged fight against the opponent. The medicinal effects of the Ascension Dragon Pill had worn off, and he didn't know what to do.
Despite all his calculations, he had overlooked the variable of the Old War God. He should not have let the Old War God leave then. At least it would have guaranteed his safety. Now, he was back to the situation in the life simulator. If the Old War God hadn't intervened, he would have certainly fallen into the hands of this young man. In the life simulator, with no one to save him, this old fellow would not have shown any mercy.
Chu Chen searched his mind for any desperate fighting techniques, but after much thought, he rejected them all. Those methods could not be used until the very last moment, as they carried the risk of self-harm. But this was the last moment, and if he didn't use those techniques, he would truly be in danger here.
Jin Lun circulated his spiritual energy, preparing to unleash a fatal blow. This move was exactly the same as the one that had defeated Chu Chen in the life simulator. A giant wheel appeared, hovering before Chu Chen, infused with immense energy. Even a slight touch could shatter a person, let alone being hit directly by this energy, which would undoubtedly be agonizing. Even Chu Chen could not survive under such powerful energy. Unless he could dodge it, but his surroundings were completely sealed by Jin Lun, leaving no room for evasion.
Chu Chen was about to steel himself for a mutual destruction. Although he wasn't particularly loyal to the Yunyue Kingdom, he wouldn't let the other party have an easy victory if he was going to be killed.
At this moment, the three cultivators who had been knocked down to the ground wore smiles on their faces.
"This brat is finally going to be subdued. But I must admit, I'm a bit impressed he could hold on this long."
"Impressed with what? This brat is lucky to have achieved such strength."
"Think about ourselves, didn't we all have to fight desperately to reach our current cultivation levels?"
At this point, Chu Chen had made his decision. Just as he was preparing to ignite the vital energy within his body for a mutual destruction, a figure suddenly appeared and collided with the giant wheel of light that Jin Lun had sent flying.
Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but cry out, "No!" Chu Chen recognized the figure as belonging to the Old War God. He hadn't expected the Old War God to fight so desperately. After such a long absence, he appeared only to block a fatal blow for him.
A dull, heavy thud echoed in his ears. Chu Chen saw the figure shatter, and the giant wheel of light also vanished. The energies of both sides collided and then dissipated. The figure disappeared before Chu Chen's eyes as if it had never existed. This shocked Chu Chen. Was that figure not the Old War God? But if not, why would it block a fatal blow for him? Chu Chen was perplexed. Immediately after, he saw Jin Lun react and launch another attack towards him.
Chu Chen instinctively prepared to defend, but then he remembered that he had no strength left. Even if he made a move, it would be useless. So, he simply stood there, feigning death. As Jin Lun, with a sinister smile, was about to succeed, a figure suddenly appeared before Chu Chen again, blocking the fatal blow for him. This time, Chu Chen saw clearly. The figure that appeared before him was indeed the Old War God.
"Old War God, what are you doing? Wasn't that you just now? Why did you shatter?"
The Old War God glanced back at Chu Chen, seemingly effortlessly blocking Jin Lun's attack, and smiled at Chu Chen. "I have been observing you from the shadows all along, never leaving. Didn't you feel anything?"
Hearing this, Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Not at all. You really didn't leave, that's great."
"Quickly capture this brat, don't let him escape."
"This brat is a master from the Xiongnu. Capturing him will weaken the Xiongnu's strength."
Upon hearing this, the Old War God's spirits immediately lifted, and he switched from defense to offense. Jin Lun's expression changed drastically. He could sense that the Old War God's strength was superior to his own.
"Who are you? How do you possess such strength?"
At this moment, although the Old War God's physique remained unchanged, his appearance was vastly different from before. He was dressed like an ordinary old farmer, looking ragged. If the Old War God had appeared in his true form, Jin Lun would have recognized him instantly.
"I just put on some makeup, and you can't recognize me? I am Huo Qing!" Huo Qing declared with a hearty laugh.
