Chapter 692: Chapter 613: Jade and Arrow_2
However, beneath the confident gaze of the two, a trace of uncertainty flashed.
They were well aware of the power of the Black Demon Rebirth Technique, it was something Qin An could not possibly withstand.
Yet so much time had passed, why wasn’t Qin An dead, and why hadn’t the Black Demon appeared?
This puzzling thought filled their hearts with unease.
But the current situation was like an arrow on a bowstring for Bai Lingfeng and his side; they couldn’t retreat, and could only grit their teeth and hold on.
They could only wait until the Black Demon finally killed Qin An, then they would be at ease and even slaughter this bunch of powerful ants here.
Thinking this, the battle felt increasingly like a quagmire, trapping people within it.
The situation was becoming increasingly clear for both sides.
Many from Mufang and Earth Five Stars’ side were dead, they felt they could no longer support themselves.
Bai Lingfeng’s side increased their attack, it seemed the situation here was about to be completely set.
But at this moment, an anomaly appeared.
Cracks appeared in the ground, and a strong tremor spread throughout the area.
In the instant the tremor spread, a terrifying fissure appeared in the void, rapidly expanding.
Soon after, a terrifying aura clashed here, causing everyone present to instinctively halt and look up at the fissure in the sky.
Bai Lingfeng’s side watched with solemn expressions, unsure of what was in the fissure, whereas Mufang and Earth Five Stars showed expressions of joy.
Mufang laughed heartily, pointing at Bai Lingfeng’s group, shouting with impunity, "Good! Good! Good! The Black Demon has finally killed Qin An! You bunch of ants, despair and fear await you next! Just wait, wait for your annihilation in despair!"
Earth Five Stars arrogantly said, "We gave you a chance to live just now, but you didn’t cherish it. Now, even if you kneel on the ground and beg us, it’s too late."
"We will tear your bodies apart piece by piece, making you fall into endless despair here, leaving you with no place to find solace in death."
Everyone believed the fissure signaled the Black Demon’s victory, and they waited for him to emerge from it.
Bai Lingfeng and the others revealed expressions of terror.
Seeing Mufang and Earth Five Stars so confident, they felt Qin An was likely doomed, possibly even slain by the Black Demon.
Bai Lingfeng clenched his teeth, looking at the wavering cultivators, shouted sternly, "Get yourselves together, no matter what the situation is now, staying scared won’t keep you alive, better to fight for your lives!"
Hearing this, Mufang mocked, "Fight for your lives? You must first have the ability to do so, in your situation, it’s impossible!"
"Qin An is dead, why do you still struggle?" Earth Five Stars sneered, "Do you think this struggle will bring him back, can he reverse the situation? What a bunch of fools!"
Their mockery felt like a knife stabbing into everyone’s hearts.
But amidst the spreading despair, a cold laughter rippled out like a drop of water hitting a calm lake, stirring endless waves.
"What nonsense are you spewing, when did I ever die?"
Everyone felt as if struck by lightning, raising their heads in disbelief to stare at the fissure above.
From the fissure above, a figure walked out, transitioning from blurry to clear, carrying a terrifying aura.
Qin An stood suspended in the air, clad in black, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone present, slowly descending to the ground.
At this moment, the place fell silent, as if in deathly stillness.
Mufang was the first to react, face filled with disbelief, his finger pointing at Qin An trembling uncontrollably, "How is this possible? How are you still alive? Where’s the Black Demon?"
Qin An chuckled, "The Black Demon you’re referring to, that trash who thought he could kill me using some Secret Technique and Unity Realm? If that’s who you mean, then sadly, he’s already been cut down by me."
Upon hearing this, Mufang spoke hastily.
"Impossible! How could you have killed the Black Demon? He came fully prepared; we knew your situation inside and out, leaving you no chance for a comeback, so why... why didn’t he kill you?"
Qin An said calmly, "That fool tried to construct a space with two origins, but those origins were absorbed by me, and the space was under my control; killing him was no harder than slaughtering chickens."
Hearing this, expressions of despair flashed in Mufang and Earth Five Stars’ eyes.
They understood Qin An was probably telling the truth.
Because the situation now was as clear as can be.
Qin An waved his sleeve, "Lord Bai, what are you waiting for? Kill these old bastards for me!"
Bai Lingfeng and the others showed expressions of joy.
They thought Qin An was dead, readying themselves to face the Black Demon, but Qin An’s return was like a glimmer of hope, clearing away all despair.
The hesitant ones now looked thrilled, then jointly surged at Mufang and Earth Five Stars.
At this moment, no matter how Mufang and Earth Five Stars resisted, under the onslaught, they were like a lone boat in the ocean, unable to resist.
Mufang clenched his teeth, watching the surging crowd, exchanging a look with Earth Five Stars.
Earth Five Stars quietly nodded, taking out a shining jade from his pocket, recalling the words the Black Demon spoke to them before they left.
Back then, the Black Demon took out this jade, saying it was given by the Celestial Demon Envoy, capable of channeling a temporary strike from the envoy.
But since the Black Demon wanted to find an opportunity to kill Qin An, creating a unique space, and bringing the jade into that space would destabilize it severely, the Black Demon left the jade with them.
They hadn’t used it, believing the battle already had its conclusion.
But the conclusion wasn’t what they wanted.
So, they decided to use the jade to kill Qin An completely.
As Earth Five Stars took out the jade, a sense of strong unease suddenly welled up in Qin An.
He turned, his gaze sweeping to the jade in Earth Five Stars’ hand, suddenly shouting, "Don’t let him use that jade stone!"
But at this moment, Bai Lingfeng and the others couldn’t seize the jade from Earth Five Stars.
Earth Five Stars laughed maniacally, pouring all his power into the jade.
The jade instantly became covered in dense cracks.
Earth Five Stars spread his arms, throwing the jade high up, "Qin An, didn’t you always think we were just ants, next, see for yourself how powerful the Celestial Demon Envoy truly is!"
The jade suspended in the air, transforming into countless fragments.
Next, these fragments coalesced into a glowing arrow.
The moment this arrow appeared, it brought overwhelming pressure, as if crushing everything around it.
The arrowhead wobbled madly as if searching for a target.
Soon, the arrowhead fixed on Qin An, transforming into a streak of light rushing toward him.
At this moment, Qin An felt a terrifying life-and-death crisis bloom in his heart, a feeling even the Black Demon hadn’t caused.
"It’s coming so fast!"
Qin An shouted, igniting a terrifying Qi Blood Power, his left fist striking fiercely.
A deafening roar erupted, the ground trembled violently.
Qin An tightly gripped the arrow, yet the arrow advanced like a bolt, edging closer to his heart.
