Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

"These Diamond Level Death Warriors aren’t that impressive. I thought they were supposed to be a lot stronger!"

"I wouldn’t say that. It’s mainly because the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes are so powerful, and Xue Jian is no slouch either. Plus, you have dozens of people ganging up on them. It’s only natural the Diamond Death Warriors are being suppressed."

"Xue Jian is pretty impressive too, fighting a Diamond Death Warrior to a standstill all on his own. It seems the claim that he’s second only to the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes isn’t just talk!"

"It’s a good thing Xue Jian was the one who went up. If it had been Shen Haoran, he probably would’ve been killed by that Diamond Death Warrior long ago!"

"Heh, some people have no real strength but are always trying to show off in front of others. A guy like that is just a pathetic clown. Why even waste your breath on him?"

Watching the battle in the square, the disciples from the First-class Sects snickered, glancing over at Shen Haoran from time to time with eyes full of contempt. These disciples had been in the first group and hadn’t seen Shen Haoran instantly kill ten Golden Death Warriors with a single move, so now they began to mock him.

Shen Haoran ignored their taunts, his gaze fixed on the square. As he watched the seemingly lopsided battle, he didn’t look happy at all. Instead, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Boss, what’s wrong?" Xu Hao asked, noticing Shen Haoran’s expression.

"Something’s not right," Shen Haoran said in a low voice, his eyes on the battle in the square.

"Not right? What’s not right about it? Things look fine to me." Xu Hao also turned to look, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

"Pfft, what would you know? ’Something’s not right’... you’re just jealous that Xue Jian stole your chance to show off, so you’re making things up!" a disciple from the Eightfold Gate standing nearby sneered, shooting Shen Haoran a disdainful look.

"I bet. He’s probably just jealous of Xue Jian, so he can’t stand seeing them dominate those Diamond Death Warriors! If you ask me, this fight will be over in no time!" the other Eightfold Gate disciples added with sneers.

Hearing this, Shen Haoran shot them a cool glance. He narrowed his eyes at the battle in the square and said softly, "Are they really winning?"

"Of course they are! Are you blind? Can’t you see our guys are completely overwhelming those Diamond Death Warriors?" the Eightfold Gate disciples retorted with a scoff.

"You call that overwhelming them? Haven’t you noticed the Diamond Death Warriors’ attacks are getting faster and stronger? Winning? Are you sure? To me, it looks like the Diamond Death Warriors are just warming up," Shen Haoran said coolly, glancing at the group of Martial Artists.

"What?" At his words, the Martial Artists from the Eightfold Gate all snapped their gazes back to the square. Just as he said, the offensive led by Jian Wushuang and the others was being pushed back by the Diamond Level Death Warriors. With the exception of the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes, the attacks from Xue Jian and the other several dozen Martial Artists had descended into chaos.

"How is this happening?" The Martial Artists stared in disbelief as the Diamond Death Warriors began their counterattack. They had thought the Death Warriors would be dealt with quickly, allowing them to enter the great hall of the Saint Emperor Sect. They never imagined the Diamond Death Warriors had just been getting acclimated to their bodies!

BOOM!

The next moment, the six Diamond Level Death Warriors suddenly erupted. A fierce storm of Spiritual Power instantly swept across the square, forcing Jian Wushuang and the others back.

ROAR!

The six Death Warriors roared, their Diamond Battle Armor gleaming with a brilliant light. Powerful waves of Energy pulsed from their bodies, causing the faces of everyone in the square to drain of color.

’Are they finally getting serious?’ Jian Wushuang and the other three members of the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes stared grimly at the Diamond Death Warriors. They had known from the start that the Death Warriors weren’t using their full strength, but were merely using the battle to acclimate to their bodies. The four of them had planned to slay them before they could fully power up, but the Diamond Death Warriors’ defenses were too formidable, and the fight had dragged on to this point.

In contrast to Jian Wushuang and the other three Heroes, Xue Jian and the dozen or so other Martial Artists looked grim. They had just fought with all their might only to achieve a stalemate with the Diamond Death Warriors. Now that the Death Warriors had erupted with such a powerful aura, defeating them would be no easy feat.

"Hmph, it’s just a mindless brute! I refuse to believe it can be that strong!" Xue Jian snorted and was the first to charge forward. He couldn’t back down now. ’If I kill this Death Warrior, I might just be able to catch up to Jian Wushuang and the others. Then, the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes will become the Northern Domain’s Five Heroes!’

"Xue Jian is so brave! He’s the first one to charge in!"

"Exactly! Not like a certain someone who just stands on the sidelines running his mouth!"

Seeing Xue Jian take the lead, the Eightfold Gate disciples jeered at Shen Haoran, their faces beaming with pride as if they were the ones charging forward, not Xue Jian.

In the time it took them to speak, Xue Jian had already reached the Diamond Death Warrior. Seeing the motionless warrior, Xue Jian roared, focusing all his strength into his fist and smashing it down. ’If I can just kill this brute, I’ll make a name for myself! My name will be written in the annals of the Northern Domain’s history for all posterity to admire!’

At this thought, a smile began to spread across Xue Jian’s face. But in the next instant, an intense sense of crisis washed over him. Before he could react, a brilliant light flashed, streaking across his arm. To his utter shock, his right arm was severed and fell to the ground!

"AHH!" A blood-curdling scream echoed across the square as Xue Jian’s body plummeted from the air. Where his right arm had been was now an empty void, blood gushing from the wound like a fountain.

Everyone present gasped at the sight. With a single slash, it had severed Xue Jian’s arm. This Diamond Level Death Warrior was even stronger than they had imagined!

ROAR! Spurred on by the scent of blood, the Death Warriors went on a complete rampage, lunging at the Martial Artists in the square. The ferocious display of power made the crowd’s faces drain of color once more.

’That useless fool, Xue Jian!’ Ouyang Shaoyu cursed internally as he faced the now even more frenzied Death Warriors. He didn’t dare let his focus waver and threw himself back into the fight.

Meanwhile, the Death Warrior that had severed Xue Jian’s arm slowly advanced on the pale-faced man, its blood-drenched broadsword held ready. Without a moment’s hesitation, it swung the blade down.

As the blade’s brilliant light flared, Xue Jian felt as if he could see the Grim Reaper beckoning to him. He closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death’s embrace.

But after a moment, he felt no killing blow. When he opened his eyes, he found a dark silhouette standing before him. The blade that had so casually sliced off his arm had been caught—bare-handed—by this figure!

"Shen... Shen Haoran!" Xue Jian cried out, recognizing the figure’s back.

Shen Haoran turned his head and gave Xue Jian a cool glance. "You were right, there is a gap between us. A huge one. Watch and learn. This is what a true expert looks like."

With that, Shen Haoran threw a punch, striking the Diamond Death Warrior’s chest with lightning speed. A torrent of violent power erupted, sending the Diamond Death Warrior flying like a cannonball into a massive Stone Pillar in the distance. At the sight of this, the entire area fell utterly silent...
