In this extremely short span of time, Di Heng and Di Hui only just managed to react. It’s not that their reaction speed was slow, but Su Chen appeared too suddenly, and Su Chen had locked onto Di Xi earlier, so they felt nothing at all.

It wasn’t until Di Xi’s heavy saber light clashed with Su Chen’s sword light that they realized what was happening.

Before they could help, or even catch a glimpse of Su Chen’s figure, Di Xi was already dead, turned into nothingness.

"Who is it?!" Di Heng’s expression turned incomparably serious, and he roared.

Although it was an ambush, instantly killing Fourth Elder Di Xi is extremely difficult.

At least, Di Heng himself was not confident in doing so.

In other words, the opponent’s strength was at a minimum at the Fourth Level of the Human Lord Realm, if not more.

He couldn’t figure out who it was.

Among those who reached the Fourth Level of the Human Lord Realm, there seemed to be about ten out of the thirty-six people who entered.

These ten people were either the Great Elder, the Second Elder, or the Third Elder, or the seven Supreme Elders. But why would these elders, these Supreme Elders, kill their own people? It shouldn’t be!

It really shouldn’t be!

Di Heng’s mind was in a chaotic state of tension at this moment.

He held his breath.

He didn’t even consider Su Chen because, just half a month ago, he fought Su Chen, whose strength was around the First Level of the Human Lord Realm, not exceeding the Second Level.

"What... what should we do? Send... send... send a signal." Di Hui stepped close to Di Heng, his body trembling, terrified.

Even Fourth Elder was instantly killed, Di Hui would be worthless, probably killed by just one breath from this assailant.

"The space is locked, sending a signal won’t work." Di Heng, however, remained composed and said coldly.

Indeed, once Su Chen initiated the ambush, this space was locked, preventing Di Heng and the others from sending a signal.

Although Su Chen’s strength soared and became extremely powerful.

He still couldn’t single-handedly take on thirty-six people.

Moreover, among those thirty-six were seven Supreme Elder-level monsters, and for Su Chen currently, facing even one such monster would be very challenging.

Thus, the Iceflame Vermilion Bird lent a hand.

The Iceflame Vermilion Bird’s ability to lock the space of the Primeval River Storm was an extremely terrifying power, a divine skill of the Iceflame Vermilion Bird!

"What?" When Di Hui heard Di Heng say that the space of the Primeval River Storm was locked, he almost fainted, "What should we do?!"

Are we just going to wait for death?

Di Hui was truly despairing.

"Who on earth are you?!" Di Heng shouted in frustration, his heart gradually filling with despair as he couldn’t even sense the opponent’s presence, truly strange.

"Di Heng, I must say, your intuition was right. I am indeed not dead." The next moment, Su Chen’s figure began to appear little by little from a distance.

"What?! Su Chen!!!?" Di Heng’s eyes contracted sharply, shocked, indescribably shocked...

How could it be?

It was Su Chen?

Not only did Su Chen survive, he could... he could walk in the Primeval River Storm so easily, when it was known he didn’t have a Wind Absorbing Pearl.

Moreover, Su Chen could ambush and instantly kill Fourth Elder Di Xi?

Di Heng was truly going mad.

"You... are you really Su Chen?!" Di Heng stared at Su Chen, unwilling, unable to believe it.

"Don’t you already know?" Su Chen smiled. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Di Heng’s heart sank to its depths. Yes! The opponent was indeed Su Chen! He didn’t want to admit it, but it was true!

"How about it? Scared?" Su Chen smiled slightly, not in a hurry to make a move.

"Scared? Just a defeated foe. That day, it was my mistake, letting you escape. Today, if you appear before me again, I will kill you!" Di Heng suddenly shouted, his face contorted, looking a bit out of control, even using unconventional language like ’I’.

"Heh..." Su Chen chuckled disdainfully; after three days, one should re-evaluate a scholar, let alone after half a month. Furthermore, at this moment, Di Heng’s loss of composure only showed his fear, didn’t it?

At this time.

Di Heng suddenly attacked.

He waved both his hands quickly, shouting, "Kun! Contrary!! Cease!!!"

"Kunyun", "Contrary Heart", "Cease Life"!

The Three Great Divine Powers, fused.

The Three Great Divine Powers were originally unyielding to fusion and mutually exclusive, but in Di Heng’s hands, they behaved like gentle small animals, trained to be very obedient.

An octagonal halo seal rapidly began to form.

Although the octagonal halo seal looked ordinary, it made Su Chen’s eyes flicker.

On that day, this technique of Di Heng’s almost cost him his life.

"Go!" Di Heng formed the halo seal at an astonishing speed, and this time the halo seal was even stronger than the one he cast half a month ago.

Half a month prior, Di Heng had given it his all, with no restraint.

But today, it was at two hundred percent.

The halo seal was more condensed, restrained, more glaring and icy.

As Di Heng pushed this halo seal forward.

Su Chen also made his move simultaneously.

"Slash!!!"

A sword.

Still just a sword.

Identical to the one that instantly killed Di Xi a moment ago.

Su Chen had stronger techniques, such as the "Strange Change Formation," but he did not use them.

There was no need.

Half a month ago, even using the "Strange Change Formation," Su Chen was still on the brink of death.

Today is different from the past; he doesn’t need to use the "Strange Change Formation" to be confident in defeating and killing Di Heng. Ultimately, over the past half month, Su Chen’s strength had increased several times.

"Go!" Di Heng truly took Su Chen seriously. After launching the halo seal, he did not pause. Suddenly, a Four Directions Seal appeared in his hand, blood-red, with clear engravings of mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, giant demons, and fierce beasts.

The aura of the Four Directions Seal was just as restrained as if it were an ordinary seal.

But in reality, this Four Directions Seal was an Imperial Soldier.

As a successor, and the strongest one at that, how could Di Heng not have an Imperial Soldier?

However, Di Heng rarely used the Four Directions Seal because, with his strength, there was no need to rely on external items such as an Imperial Soldier.

But today, it had to be used.

Although he could not comprehend how Su Chen could surge in strength with such a massive change in just half a month.

Nor could he resign to it.

A person once so insignificant that he could crush like an ant now grew to a point where he had to be taken seriously and even feared; it was too stifling.

But facts are facts.

The fact was that Su Chen could already instantly kill Fourth Elder.

Su Chen could mysteriously lock this piece of space.

If he still didn’t give his all, if he didn’t value it one thousand percent, then he would be the next Fourth Elder.

After taking out the Four Directions Seal, Di Heng ferociously channeled his Mysterious Qi from his body into the seal, as if he didn’t care about the cost.

The Four Directions Seal was like a pixiu, crazily absorbing the Mysterious Qi from Di Heng.

With every bit absorbed, the aura of the Four Directions Seal grew ever more substantial.
