Chapter 271: The Might of a Single Palm

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Chen’s reputation was simply too great. Just a single sentence was enough to make the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan extremely wary. If Su Chen wanted to attack Huo Xi, she would definitely not survive in this Holy City. His words alone could mobilize countless forces.

The only downside was she couldn’t obtain the blood fruit. Su Chen’s earlier words had prevented the Fourth Prince from acting while allowing him to keep 10 million supreme-grade spirit stones. With such formidable capital, it would be very difficult for Huo Xi to acquire what she needed from him.

Originally, she had planned to kill the Fourth Prince and snatch the blood fruit when the timing was right. But now, the difficulty seemed too high. All the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens present in the entire Holy City were hostile towards her. If she made a move against the Golden Crow Clan’s Fourth Prince, the others would certainly retaliate.

Huo Xi was only at the Spirit Sea Realm. Although she could kill above her level, it would be hard for her to leave unscathed with so many Holy Sons and Holy Maidens present. Not to mention, Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses lurked in the shadows, ready to strike her anytime.

Thinking of this, Huo Xi silently stood to take her leave. However, the moment she got up, Su Chen’s voice came from above.

“The Fourth Prince is correct. My Great Mystery Sacred Sect has no enmity with the Golden Crow Clan. If the Fourth Prince wishes to act, feel free. 1 will never interfere!”

Hearing this, the Fourth Prince’s worried heart slowly settled. As long as Su Chen did not make a move, there was no need to mind the others. After all, among the many prodigies present, he feared Su Chen the most. As long as Su Chen held back, he did not care one bit about the other Holy Sons and Holy Maidens. Such was the Golden Crow Clan’s confidence.

However, not long after Su Chen finished speaking, he continued, “Oh, by the way, if anyone here tries to hinder what 1 aim to do, don’t blame me for falling out with you!”

As Su Chen’s words fell, the great hall instantly became deathly silent.

“It seems Fellow Daoist Su Chen is also preparing to make a move?” The Yin Yang Holy Son’s eyebrows rose as he thought to himself.

He turned to look at Huo Xi, who was about to leave. In an instant, a terrifying pressure emanated from the Yin Yang Holy Son, enveloping Huo Xi within it. If Su Chen had no interest in the immortal gold, he would naturally fight for it. However, if Su Chen coveted the treasure and wanted it for himself, then naturally he would not oppose Su Chen.

Putting aside whether he could prevail over Su Chen, he could not move against the kindness Su Chen had shown him at the ruins. In that case, why not do Su Chen a favor?

The atmosphere in the grand hall suddenly turned ominous. The weaker ones simply could not survive here.

“Does Fellow Daoist Su Chen plan to oppose my Golden Crow Clan then?” The Fourth Prince spoke gravely. Unnoticed, the way he addressed Su Chen had changed. After all, the two were about to fall out.

“That depends on you!” Su Chen flipped his palm.

Buzz…

In the next moment, a blood-red spiritual fruit materialized in his hand. This fruit was crimson as if carved from a ruby. An extremely rich medicinal fragrance instantly permeated every corner of the hall.

Seeing this blood fruit, the Golden Crow Clan’s Fourth Prince’s golden eyes abruptly constricted. He uttered in a deep voice, “Blood fruit?” He was extremely familiar with this spiritual fruit. At the previous auction, he had snatched it from Huo Xi for the astronomical price of 13 million supreme-grade spirit stones. He knew Huo Xi desperately needed this fruit.

Yet now, why did Su Chen produce a blood fruit? The Fourth Prince did not believe Su Chen revealing it was merely to showcase his formidable foundation.

“Su Chen, there remains room to turn back before acting. But once you do this, you become the enemy of my Golden Crow Clan! After all, the princes of my clan did not die in vain!” Behind the Fourth Prince, an old man gazed at Su Chen and spoke. Everyone present had witnessed what happened at the auction house. Even the Pavilion Master and Su Chen observed everything. The Fourth Prince and Huo Xi had bid the price of a single blood fruit to the heavens.

Yet now, Su Chen suddenly took out a blood fruit. His intentions were crystal clear.

“Oh? What does this have to do with me?” Su Chen’s brows furrowed as he tossed the blood fruit towards Huo Xi.

Huo Xi froze, not immediately stretching out to take it. Instead, she asked in surprise, “Holy Son, what is the meaning of this?” She still did not understand Su Chen’s objective.

“Haha… Does a mere cripple deserve such a spiritual fruit? Since Su Chen doesn’t want it, I’ll gladly accept!” Behind the Fourth Prince, an old man reached out with a cold smile. His massive hand swiftly grabbed at the blood fruit with extreme speed.

“You dare to touch my possessions?” At this moment, Su Chen snorted coldly. He extended his right hand. The giant golden hand arrived first, crushing the old man’s palm. Then it swept out.

A crisp sound rang out as Su Chen’s palm landed on the old man’s face.

“All…” A heart-wrenching cry followed as the old man was sent flying. The great hall fell into a deathly silence. Everyone froze, unable to recover their senses for a long time.

Behind the Yin Yang Holy Son, Yin Lie held a wine cup, its contents spilled across the floor. After an unknown amount of time, he finally managed to come to his senses with difficulty.

“Hiss!” Someone gasped and looked at Su Chen, who was casually withdrawing his hand as if merely brushing off the dust, his face relaxed. Then the person gazed upon the heavily injured Golden Crow Clan’s elder lying amidst the rubble, stunned and motionless.

“Why do 1 feel… This Great Mystery Holy Son has grown stronger again?” a Holy Maiden murmured. Her beautiful eyes shone as she stared fixedly at Su Chen as if to see through him completely.

Earlier, she had also gone to the God Demon Sect’s ruins. She had personally witnessed Su Chen defeating many experts of the Dashang Empire and Infinite Demon Sect single-handedly. She already understood Su Chen’s formidable strength. Yet today, meeting him again, Su Chen’s power seemed even more unfathomable.

With just a single palm, he had gravely injured an old Golden Crow Clan Quasi-Saint Realm expert.

Was this truly something a young prodigy could accomplish? Was Su Chen really a prodigy of the young generation? Even experts of the older generation could not achieve this, right? One had to know that old man was at the Quasi-Saint Realm!
