The man from the overlord's mansion was extremely displeased, or rather, extremely uneasy. If he couldn't kill these two people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, the thought that the woman's foundation had been destroyed offered some reassurance, since she was unlikely to kill him now.
But then he thought of Qin Chuan, that inconspicuous person, and upon closer reflection, something felt amiss. He hadn't killed him
with his previous attack. This young man was no ordinary person; he himself was only a half-step Immortal Emperor, yet Qin Chuan hadn't died.
This was illogical, utterly illogical. In the face of such an existence, even life-saving treasures were useless; with such low strength, even life-saving treasures couldn't protect one.
Even if they could protect one, there were only two outcomes: death or complete recovery. It was impossible for Qin Chuan to be injured.
Now, Qin Chuan was the one who made the man feel threatened. He could let the woman go, but this young man had to be eliminated, or the consequences would be dire.
He hadn't thought much about it before, but now the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. It was because he had let the woman go that this crisis had arisen ten thousand years later.
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze." For the past ten thousand years, he had lived in constant fear because he hadn't killed this woman, as if a sword of death hung over his head.
This day had finally come. He thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly, the woman fell in love at the crucial moment, and his Dao foundation was shattered. This filled him with ecstatic joy.
It was a miraculous escape from certain death; nothing could be more exciting and exhilarating. A situation that seemed hopeless and certain to end had suddenly reversed; the joy was truly intoxicating.
But his joy was premature. The young man he encountered today was strange, no less formidable than the woman he had been with, and perhaps even more terrifying. His
failure to eliminate the weeds at the root had led to this crisis; if not for good fortune, he would have been dead long ago.
Moreover, living in constant fear was unbearable; he didn't want to live like that again.
Therefore, he had to eliminate Qin Chuan, otherwise, he would surely be finished soon. The woman had slept for ten thousand years due to special circumstances; otherwise, it couldn't have lasted that long.
Qin Chuan was prepared to act at any moment. He had to hold out until the woman had fully forged her Dao foundation, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain, and rebuilding his foundation later would be a hundred or a thousand times more difficult.
This was the last area before him. If it wasn't there either, he was helpless. He could only assume the two had died in the formation, since it contained the Immortal-Slaying Stone—that was the most likely explanation.
Whoosh!
Just as the man from the Overlord's Mansion made his move, Long Baobao appeared not far away, staring intently at him.
The man's expression changed drastically upon seeing Long Baobao, because he had seen it before; it was Qin Chuan's tamed beast.
He had previously held onto a great deal of hope—a very, very high chance that Qin Chuan and the woman had died in the formation.
But now that this beast had appeared, it was clear that the two were alive, the last thing he wanted.
He suddenly realized that the two were nearby; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent this beast to interfere and prevent him from finding them.
So he didn't chase after the demonic beast, but continued according to his original plan. After all, since the other party had come to stop him at this point, it meant that he could find the other party according to his original plan.
The tyrant dared not delay any longer and had to resolve the matter as soon as possible to avoid any accidents, which was not what he wanted to see.
Whoosh!
The dragon baby made its move, and at the same time, Qin Chuan also released several other treasure beasts. These were all Immortal Emperor level beings, and they were all treasure beasts, so their terrifying level was self-evident.
Bang!
The tyrant didn't take the dragon baby seriously at all. What was an Immortal Emperor? A low-level Immortal Emperor was not worth mentioning in the man's eyes.
He didn't even think about blocking it when it attacked. In his opinion, this so-called Immortal Emperor level demonic beast couldn't even hurt him.
So he didn't intend to resist and continued to search for Qin Chuan and the other person. He believed that as long as he destroyed the area in front of him, Qin Chuan and the other person would naturally appear.
The dragon baby was as fast as lightning. Its little claws directly slashed towards the tyrant's back, but the tyrant seemed not to see it.
Splat!
Blood spurted out!
The domineering man froze, staring in disbelief at the dragon baby. The younger generation's injuries made him forget the pain; the wound wasn't severe, but it was the most astonishing injury he'd suffered in years.
Qin Chuan was also surprised. The dragon baby, such a terrifying being, at the Immortal Emperor level, had only managed to leave a shallow gash on the man's body.
Anyone else, even an Immortal Emperor, would have been torn apart, disemboweled, and utterly dead.
The domineering man was enraged. Looking at the dragon baby, he wanted to pulverize it to vent his hatred.
But he didn't know whether to kill the dragon baby or continue searching for Qin Chuan and the other man, knowing they would find them soon. The
dragon baby charged again.
The domineering man had initially intended to grit his teeth and continue searching for Qin Chuan, but the dragon baby had returned. He
hadn't taken it seriously before, yet it had injured him. The injury wasn't serious, but it wasn't minor either; he didn't want to get hurt again—it was too dangerous.
The domineering man charged towards the dragon baby.
Bang!
The domineering man and the dragon baby separated; the dragon baby was sent flying, while the domineering man took a slight step back.
Qin Chuan observed both the domineering man and the woman. The woman was at the final hurdle, and Qin Chuan had to protect her.
This was crucial to their survival, so Qin Chuan had to protect the woman from disturbance at all costs.
Only if the woman rebuilt her foundation today could they survive; it was the only way.
The dragon baby was sent flying, and the domineering man accelerated his destruction.
The dragon baby's body was even more terrifying than that of a magical beast, and the domineering man's terrifying attacks seemed to have little effect on it.
Qin Chuan had been somewhat worried before, but now he could relax, which further convinced him that the dragon baby was indeed a descendant of the divine dragon.
The dragon baby quickly charged again, and the other magical beasts also joined in, trying to interfere.
However, due to the difference in their strength and cultivation levels, these magical beasts and the dragon baby could hardly threaten each other. The man could easily send Qin Chuan's beasts flying with a casual attack.
At this moment, Qin Chuan stepped forward. He had no choice but to come out; he couldn't let the other party disturb the woman. There was no way back, no other option.
When the man saw Qin Chuan appear, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
He was determined to kill Qin Chuan; he would kill Qin Chuan, even if it meant sacrificing the woman.
