Chapter 449: Everyone’s Trump Card

“Haha, Fellow Daoist is too kind,” Chen Su looked at him and nodded slightly, forcing a smile. However, anyone with insight could hear the indifference permeating his words – an attitude that held others at bay, making people’s hearts turn cold. Their intuition warned them that Chen Su was not easy to get along with.

“The Su Chen you all spoke of just now poses a grave threat to our ancient myriad races. If we don’t eliminate him soon, I’m afraid it will jeopardize our Ancient Pact!” Chen Su said, scanning the area arrogantly. “Does everyone agree?”

“Well…” The white-haired elder who had previously spoken frowned, speaking slowly, “Isn’t Fellow Daoist Chen worrying too much? Our goal today is the inheritance the World-Transcending Sword Master left behind. Su Chen is but one man – how could he oppose all of us here?”

“Indeed, Fellow Daoist Chen worries too readily!” another echoed. “It’s just Su Chen. Isn’t Fellow Daoist taking him too seriously?”

“With one hand, I could suppress that Su Chen. He’s no cause for concern. Our target is the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance; we can deal with Su Chen after obtaining it.”

The white-haired elder’s words drew much agreement. Perhaps two Great Saint Realm experts could not defeat Su Chen, but three? Four? Even five? Who would emerge victorious remained uncertain. No matter how mighty, Su Chen merely counted as a prodigy of the younger generation. Were he to face experts like themselves – sealed since the ancient era – predicting survival would prove impossible.

“Foolish!” Chen Su, however, shouted coldly at their words, brows knitted. “Why did our ancient myriad races, once lords of the world, fall to today’s state?” he demanded. “It is because our forebears dismissed other races’ prodigies as you do now, allowing humans to gradually gain strength until forcing us to these remote Southern Region corners… In my view, we should unite and kill Su Chen first before all else!”

“Since I’ve said this much, I won’t hide anything more from you all,” Chen Su continued, pacing to the crowd’s center. “Today, 1, Chen Su, have come bearing a quasi-emperor’s talisman from my clan! The White Jade Divine Elephants are determined to kill Su Chen. But I have heard he possesses many crafty skills and may be the reincarnation of some ancient power. My single quasi-emperor’s talisman may not suffice to kill him. I wonder what cards you all hold that could aid my efforts?”

Everyone’s expressions grew interesting at Chen Su’s words. Those gathered surely all grasped some hidden cards; after all, they would not have come to vie for the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance without them. But these cards derived their very power from secrecy. Once exposed, they lost effect as others grew wary. Chen Su had backed them against a cliff’s edge – refusing to show their hands now would arouse suspicion.

Just then, Chen Su raised his hand slightly. A storage ring on his finger glimmered, unleashing a supreme aura as though an ancient heavenly emperor had revived to rule heaven and earth. The instant this energy manifested, every living being within a million miles paled, barely stopping themselves from kneeling. Fortunately, the aura vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Before anyone could react, it disappeared without a trace.

“Quasi-emperor!”

“At least a quasi-emperor!”

“No, it must be a talisman left by someone who almost reached the Great Emperor Realm!”

“How terrifying, how terrifying…”

Everyone present shook with awe after the aura faded away.

“Well?” Chen Su asked coolly. “I’ve already revealed this much. Do you still plan to hide your hands?”

Hearing this, the rest exchanged glances. As Chen Su said, with him exposing his card already, their continued concealment was somewhat excessive.

“Very well,” the white-haired elder stepped forward after a period of silent contemplation, stroking his beard with one hand. “To be frank, my clan still has an elder hidden away, a saint king. With him here, it matters not whether Su Chen comes; if he does, the elder will decisively leave him no path of survival!” His forceful proclamation shook many. In their hearts, many beings silently cursed.

A saint king! Even in the ancient era, such existences had stood at its apex. And while a saint king had now descended, he had yet to appear – his agenda was clear. Likely, he planned to determine the final outcome at a critical moment and seize the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance for himself.

As soon as the elder finished speaking, a weak yet frightening aura slowly drifted out from the void. Though faint, it still made everyone’s expressions change, as though fixed in the stare of some primal beast, hairs standing on end.

Saint king! They understood this saint king was following Chen Su’s lead! Merely claiming to hold a trump card was not enough. One had to reveal it for others to believe its existence, otherwise who knew whether they spoke truth or lies? Perhaps they invented a false card to trick everyone?

With Chen Su and the white-haired elder’s example set, none of the others could remain indifferent. One by one, they brought out their hidden cards.

“This is the Heaven and Earth Catalog, forged by a quasi-emperor. Though not a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon itself, its power can rival Saint King Realm weapons, easily trapping Su Chen.”

“I have brought a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon this time. Not just Su Chen – even a saint king would fail to gain any advantage against it!”

“My clan too has a Saint King Realm elder in attendance, so please be at ease.”

“The All-Encompassing Divine Rod is a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon capable

of unleashing quasi-emperor-level might to easily kill Su Chen..”
