335: Chapter 335 Twisting Power, Qu Ling

Everyone turned their heads to look.

That was an illusory shadow.

The phantom combed its hair into a slicked-back style, dressed in a black formal suit with a white shirt underneath, resembling a classic British-style gentleman.

Shen Xingchen's eyes suddenly turned solemn.

The encrypted data of Snowfield Dragon City recorded a Demon King-tier existence who also dressed in Western style, named Quling... wielding the Distortion Authority!

That gentleman's phantom had been gradually fading since its appearance, clearly unable to sustain itself for long.

An anxious voice came from the direction of the teleportation array: "Shen Xingchen, run! He is the king-tier Quling who wields the Distortion Authority, you can't possibly withstand a single blow from him!"

That was Youyue, who had just teleported over from the towering grand array.

Regarding Quling's strength, she knew much more detailed information than Snowfield Dragon City. Even among king-tiers wielding authorities, Quling was a prominent figure, and even Cecil, the former king-tier of North America, had always been suppressed and beaten by him.

Shen Xingchen was just about to react.

Quling smiled and said: "Shen Xingchen, someone once told me that your existence would subvert the entire Demon race. This time and this place is my only chance to intercept and kill you."

"It is worth the three of us joining forces to lay out this scheme; you are truly amazing... but you must die!"

Quling did not give Shen Xingchen a chance to struggle. A slender needle appeared in his palm, its entire body lingering with a chaotic aura.

Clang——

That extremely slender needle shot towards Shen Xingchen's location.

Space was distorted by this rule, sending ripples outward.

Cyan-blue clock patterns emerged at the soles of Shen Xingchen's feet. The clock hands stopped rotating, and the world fell into absolute silence... yet that fine needle containing the power of chaos was not affected in the slightest.

Seeing this.

Shen Xingchen's aura abruptly changed. The phantom of the Dragon Emperor gathered behind him, spitting out blinding dragon breath that collided with the chaos needle.

Seeing this scene, Quling was somewhat surprised: "The fourth Divine Sovereign Phase? Amazing, amazing, what a pity... still not enough to look at!"

Sure enough.

The chaos needle still didn't have the slightest pause.

The blinding dragon breath was pierced straight through by the chaos needle, just like falling straight into water without splashing the slightest ripple.

Shen Xingchen raised his arm and fiercely swung out the longhuang red gold spear.

That spear burning with golden flames collided with the chaos needle, experiencing a moment of stagnation.

With a bang.

The longhuang red gold spear was bounced away.

That slender long needle symbolizing chaos and distortion approached Shen Xingchen's chest.

Quling smiled contemptuously: "It's over!"

His phantom could no longer be maintained, but there was no need to look at what followed anymore. Right now, even if a king-tier wielding an authority came in person, they couldn't save him!

Quling's phantom dispersed like cooking smoke.

At the same time.

The long needle symbolizing chaos and distortion landed on Shen Xingchen's body.

Shen Xingchen's body was directly blasted backward, shattering several stone walls behind him like a cannonball, yet showing no signs of stopping.

"Brother!" Shen Keke shouted anxiously.

Jiang Li covered her mouth, tears welling up in the depths of her eyes.

Shen Zhennan clenched his fists tightly, the tension on his face visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding neighbors also stopped their clamor at this moment, not even daring to let out a loud breath, fearing that their subtle movements would shatter the reality before them.

...

Shen Xingchen's body was sent flying over a thousand meters before barely stopping, with gravel splashing and dust rolling.

In front of his chest, the long needle symbolizing chaos and distortion hovered there. At the tip of the needle, a safety talisman woven from red knots firmly locked it in place.

Even so, Shen Xingchen's chest was still shredded by that fierce chaos needle, his internal organs displaced, covered in crimson.

"Hoo—I survived."

Shen Xingchen painstakingly pulled himself out from the ruins, coughed lightly, and his face was devoid of all blood color.

If not for the critical moment when the safety talisman given to him by the elder of the Authority of Reincarnation played its role, he truly would have fallen this time.

King-tiers are truly terrifying to this extent.

Shen Xingchen finally understood how Yu Juezhi felt when facing three king-tiers; the higher the realm, the harder it is to fight across realms.

Back then, Yu Juezhi was truly amazing to be able to block Xiang Chen's blow with the body of a Xiang Realm!

Shen Xingchen removed the safety talisman on his chest. After the chaos needle dissipated on its own, the crimson light that the safety talisman had erupted with also vanished.

The safety talisman had also lost its function.

...

A short while later, the dust filling the sky finally cleared away.

When Shen Xingchen's figure appeared before everyone, enthusiastic cheers erupted.

"Shen Xingchen is fine!"

"I said so, how could such a young prodigy die so young!"

"Awesome, that fiend just now was so terrifying, good thing it was only a phantom..."

"Give Shen Xingchen five more years, and that fiend will definitely not be his match!"

"I think so too!"

"..."

The surrounding streets and alleys became lively again. The surrounding low-tier demons successively stopped their movements, looking at Shen Xingchen with some fear.

Shen Keke approached Shen Xingchen, mist pooling in her eyes: "Brother, are you okay?"

Shen Xingchen patted his sister's head, a smile appearing on his pale face: "Brother is fine."

Youyue approached at this time: "Shen Xingchen, you..."

Aside from a pair of emerald snake pupils, the rest of her physical characteristics were no different from humans. When she did not reveal her aura, no one noticed anything unusual.

Shen Xingchen made a shushing gesture to her: "Whatever it is, we'll talk about it later."

"Zizizi——"

Those low-tier demons that had originally been suppressed by Shen Xingchen began to stir restlessly.

The pack of Shadow Demon Wolves furthest from Shen Xingchen once again started attacking the surrounding humans, baring their sharp fangs with a sinister and eerie look.

At this moment.

The sound of weapons clashing came from afar.

"The 27th Division of the Yulong Army of Snowfield Dragon City is ordered to come rescue Qiunan City..."

"The 14th Division of the Xue Family Army of Snowfield Dragon City has come to rescue the common people of Qiunan City..."

"..."

"The 6th Corps of the Yanwu Army of Snowfield Dragon City..."

Shen Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief; the reinforcements from Snowfield Dragon City had finally arrived.

As more and more elite armies entered the battlefield, the demonic disaster in Qiunan City was finally brought under control.

Several figures soaring through the sky suddenly appeared; those were the Xiang Realm experts of Snowfield Dragon City.

Shen Xingchen even saw Senior Brother Marshal Gu Qinglin among those figures. The very moment they arrived, they hurriedly flew towards Wang Mountain, several people blasting the towering grand array from all directions.

This place was the root of the Demon race's disaster!

Shen Xingchen showed a smile; it felt really good to have comrades-in-arms.

He said to his family with a smile: "Dad, Mom, Keke, this disturbance has finally passed."

When he saw hundreds of teleportation arrays lighting up within the Demon territory, Shen Xingchen had sensed something was amiss, and associated it with that Elder with Gold-rimmed Glasses.

By the time he crossed the teleportation array to reach Qiunan City, all the mysteries had become clear.

It turned out that the Elder with Gold-rimmed Glasses had searched for so much spatial power just to set up this heaven-defying teleportation array... But why was the elder wielding reincarnation missing?

Jiang Li held Shen Xingchen's hand: "Chen'er."

Shen Xingchen clasped his mother's hand back: "Let's go home."

Shen Zhennan looked at his son's back, his brows furrowing.

Chen'er's aura... why is it so weak?
