Son, Put Your Father To The Test (FF)

"Arrogant fool!"

"If that's the case, then let's see what you're made of!"

"If you win, the truth will clear your name, but if you lose, you'll die!"

The surrounding experts sharpened their gazes, their auras rising like awakening beasts.

They were preparing to attack as one.

It wasn't just about anger from being disrespected; there was also a need to act, for both sides.

If this man could sweep them aside, he would naturally prove his innocence. At that point, what anyone thought wouldn't matter anymore.

As the saying goes: What can you do to me?

But if he lost, death would be his only option.

Moreover, he would forever carry the infamy of being a demon. Whether or not he truly was one wouldn't matter to anyone.

After all, this was a case without a clear perpetrator. No one had any evidence, but there still needed to be an explanation for the families and friends of the dead.

"Very well, it seems we have reached an understanding."

Qin Chuan smiled as he looked around at the crowd, focusing on the Lu family's group. With a playful tone, he added, "You'd better put in some effort—otherwise, what happened at Lansheng Peak will become your family's greatest scandal!"

"Seeking your own death!"

The golden-crowned middle-aged man snorted coldly, his eyes icy, but he didn't make a move. It wasn't time yet.

He couldn't believe that this nameless man who had suddenly appeared could withstand an assault from hundreds of experts from the various powerful factions.

Each of these individuals was an ancestor-level figure in their respective sects or families, all renowned in their regions. These were not ordinary people.

With so many powerful experts joining forces, even he might struggle to escape alive!

In just a brief moment, the surrounding experts exchanged glances, silently agreeing on their attack strategy.

And then, the battle began!

"Boundless Sea!"

"Fury of the Ocean!"

"Thunderstorm!"

Several elders attacked simultaneously, launching similar types of attacks. Immediately, a deluge of laws descended like a vast ocean, completely submerging the area where Qin Chuan and Qin Zi stood.

"Annihilate!"

Qin Chuan raised his right hand and swung it down with a single palm strike.

Boom!

His unstoppable power tore through the sea of laws, shattering it like a colossal wave crashing against a cliff, splitting the ocean in half.

Massive amounts of law power exploded like fireworks, covering the sky and creating chaos above Qin Chuan's head.

"Attack together!!"

"Kill!"

Seizing the opportunity as Qin Chuan's vision was obscured by the chaotic explosion, the experts launched their attacks all at once.

Amidst the confusion, countless terrifying attacks shot out, their brilliance tearing through the sky, as if they were about to rip it apart!

Boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

The mountain trembled violently, and clouds of dust and debris filled the air. The aftermath of the unleashed laws swept out, erasing the white clouds from the sky!

Had Lansheng Peak not been fortified by the Lu family over the years, it would have long since been reduced to ash.

Clang!!

In the next moment, the sound of a sword being drawn rang out.

Suddenly, a brilliant white sword light shot up from the dust clouds, like a pillar supporting the heavens, sweeping across the four directions and flattening the battlefield!

"Ahhh!"

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Many of the experts were caught in the sword light, letting out screams as they were sent flying backward in a disheveled state.

"Retreat!"

"Scatter!"

The remaining experts were horrified and immediately dispersed, their formations breaking apart as they fled like swallows in a storm.

"Hahaha, where do you think you're going?"

A burst of laughter rang out as Qin Chuan, sword in hand, shot up into the sky from the dust. Behind him, two wings made of law extended, their powerful flaps carrying him higher and higher, as if soaring to the heavens!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Not only that, but as the massive wings ascended, they spun like propellers, generating powerful gusts of wind that crashed into the fleeing experts like tidal waves.

Some experts were even struck by the enormous wings directly, their bones shattering as they were sent hurtling back with grievous injuries.

Bang, bang, bang!

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

"Ahhh!"

Chaos reigned as these once-dominant experts, who had ruled over their regions in the Eastern Domain, were now scattered like ragdolls.

"Fight with everything we've got!!"

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage!"

"Giant Spirit Palm!"

"Heavenly Fist of Demon Extermination!"

The remaining experts, with no other options, unleashed their ultimate techniques, sending a barrage of powerful attacks from all directions at Qin Chuan.

But Qin Chuan merely laughed wildly. He swung his Qinglian Sword in a sweeping arc, then spun around for another slash.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Two crescent-shaped sword lights merged into one, forming a massive circle that spread outward. Wherever it passed, the incoming attacks were obliterated, as if they were nothing but dust in the wind!

Pfft—

"Ahh!!"

"My kidneys!"

The experts, their ultimate techniques shattered, suffered severe backlash. They were struck by the residual sword energy, coughing up blood and screaming in agony.

In the end.

Hundreds of experts fell from the sky like raindrops, leaving only Qin Chuan standing above the clouds.

His sword was lowered, the massive wings behind him flapped slowly, each movement stirring the sky as if he was the center of the universe, the sun, moon, and stars revolving with his every breath!

"So powerful."

"I admit defeat."

"I concede as well."

"This matter, perhaps…"

The defeated experts, faces filled with bitterness, slowly climbed to their feet, their gazes toward the Lu family now full of suspicion.

Qin Chuan's overwhelming strength made them start to believe that he might be telling the truth—he had no reason to lie. Even if he had killed the young prodigies, their families and sects wouldn't be able to do anything to him!

And if Qin Chuan was telling the truth, then the Lu family…

"Hmph! Defeating them doesn't prove your innocence. There are still those who can punish you!"

At this moment, the golden-crowned man coldly spoke.

He then respectfully bowed to an old man behind him, who had been sitting quietly with his eyes closed. "Please, ancestor, deal with this vile creature!"

"Very well."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, nodding without emotion, and took a step forward.

Thud, thud, thud!

Each step he took seemed to make the heavens tremble, and the hearts of the onlookers trembled along with it.

Around him, balls of law energy appeared one after another, orbiting him like planets circling the sun.

There were nine in total!

This was a Saint of the Ninth Heaven.

In the absence of an Emperor Realm expert, a Saint of the Ninth Heaven was an invincible existence, one who could command awe from all directions!

Such experts were incredibly rare, typically found only within Emperor-level superpowers.

"You shouldn't have killed so freely, nor should you have killed members of my Lu family. And even worse, you shouldn't have dared to slander us after committing murder."

The old man looked down at Qin Chuan and spoke calmly.

Although Qin Chuan had shown great strength earlier, in the old man's eyes, it was nothing more than child's play.

He was a Saint of the Ninth Heaven, and unless an Emperor appeared, he had no equal! Though Qin Chuan wasn't weak, he clearly wasn't an Emperor. He lacked the aura of a true ruler—something this old man knew well from his encounters with Emperor-level figures.

"Who's really twisting the truth here? Don't you have any sense?"

Qin Chuan smirked, then looked more closely at the old man's nine law orbs. He said, "I see you've mastered the five elements. You must have comprehended the five elemental laws all at once, which gave you hope of becoming an Emperor."

"But now, you're a Saint of the Ninth Heaven, not an Emperor. It seems you failed to summon your Emperor tribulation due to a flaw in your mindset."

"And later, by some twist of fate, you comprehended additional laws you didn't want, losing your chance at becoming an Emperor."

"Typically, when one masters six laws, the Emperor tribulation becomes several times stronger, making it nearly impossible to survive. This is why many experts in the Eastern Domain fear mastering more than five laws."

"But judging by your situation… it's not a question of fear, is it? You simply can't summon the Emperor tribulation at all! Your narrow mindset has disqualified you from it!"

Swoosh!

The crowd was stunned.

Could the Lu family ancestor's mindset really be so flawed that he couldn't even trigger the Emperor tribulation?

Most people who failed to become Emperors did so because they couldn't master the five elemental laws in one go, or, after mastering them, they acquired additional laws and dared not summon the tribulation.

But someone who mastered the five elements and still couldn't summon the tribulation due to a flaw in their mindset? That was rare.

"Utter nonsense!!"

The Lu family ancestor, who had previously been calm, suddenly erupted in anger, shouting righteously, "Today, I will execute you, foul demon, and restore order to the heavens!"
