The tyrant's brows furrowed even more as he watched Qin Chuan fly away. He knew Qin Chuan was only injured, and his injuries were rapidly healing.
At this rate, he would be fully recovered in no time. This young man's resilience and regenerative abilities were incredible.
He knew Qin Chuan's physique was extraordinary, but he hadn't expected it to be this strong. His own strength far surpassed Qin Chuan's; under normal circumstances, he could have easily killed him instantly, even with life-saving treasures.
But the current outcome was unacceptable. Although injured, the injury seemed insignificant to him.
Qin Chuan wiped the blood from his mouth, a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with his resilience.
The Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness, the Divine Shield Demigod, the Vajra Dao, and so on—it was already incredible that he could barely withstand a few attacks from the head steward.
"Even so, you will still die today. A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind. It's just that you're too outstanding. I can't eat or sleep if I don't kill you," the head steward said, staring at Qin Chuan with pity.
Qin Chuan spat out the blood-stained saliva in his mouth, looking at the other party with disdain: "I told you you can't kill me, and you'll die."
"You can't kill me, that's the difference between us," the head steward said calmly, shaking his head.
"Who said I'd kill you?" Qin Chuan's smile widened.
Those few simple words caused the head steward's expression to suddenly change. He suddenly realized something. Before, he had always believed, based on his own understanding, that the woman was crippled and couldn't possibly recover.
But this strange young man's words made him feel, absurdly, that the woman might be able to recover.
He didn't know why, but this feeling was very strong, and he could sense that Qin Chuan had come out to buy time.
Previously, his intention was to eliminate Qin Chuan, so when Qin Chuan appeared, he didn't care about the woman anymore; even if she escaped, it wouldn't matter, finding her would be easy for him.
But now, for some reason, Qin Chuan's words made him feel that he had to kill that woman, and of course, Qin Chuan himself couldn't be spared either.
"Alright, I won't waste any more words. You can die now. And I won't keep you waiting long; she'll be joining you soon."
This time, the head steward didn't waste any more words. After speaking, he rushed towards Qin Chuan, faster than before, and unleashed a powerful strike.
Fire Phoenix Blazing Hand!
His palm struck out, swirling with a lifelike fire phoenix, only about a meter in size, wreathed in flames. It was quite impressive; though small, it emanated an incredibly violent power.
This violent power contained a destructive aura.
This was one of the head steward's trump cards, a powerful martial art from the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan, and this was one of its killing moves.
It belonged to the fire element, a destructive attack.
However, Qin Chuan wasn't alarmed upon seeing this, because this was a fire attack, and Qin Chuan possessed two high-level fire seeds within his body:
Earth Dragon Flame and Yin-Yang Fire.
However, even if you have fire seeds, it doesn't mean you're immune to fire. Just as a person with cultivation is still afraid of being attacked, the flames of the Fire Crane can collide and be devoured.
However, possessing a fire seed within his body greatly enhances his resistance to flames.
The head steward, seeing Qin Chuan actually attempting to withstand his attack head-on, couldn't help but laugh—a disdainful, cold laugh, his eyes looking at him like he was an idiot.
But thinking about it, it made sense. What could the opponent do if he didn't meet his attack head-on? Dodge? He couldn't dodge, so he wouldn't stand still and let him attack. Therefore, a direct confrontation was the best option.
But this was nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly vulnerable.
"Die!"
the head steward roared, his palm slamming down violently. Qin Chuan, naturally, wouldn't back down either. Suddenly, a ball of black and white flame appeared on his palm.
Half was pitch black, half was snow-white and crystalline.
The two flames merged together, yet maintained a clear boundary, unbroken like an ancient well, seemingly without any power, exuding an aura of antiquity.
Hiss…
It wasn't as violent as expected, but the teeth-grinding, scalp-chilling sound sent shivers down one
's spine. Qin Chuan's golden divine eyes stared intently. The two palms were still some distance apart, the two flames canceling each other out and attacking each other.
Qin Chuan's Yin-Yang Fire cultivation level was not low. Although his overall strength and cultivation level were far inferior to his opponent's, Qin Chuan's Yin-Yang Fire Seed was incredibly powerful, one of the most powerful fire seeds in the world.
Some say the first is Chaos Fire, and the second is Yin-Yang Fire, while others say that when Yin-Yang Fire is cultivated to its peak, Yin and Yang truly merge to become Chaos Fire, and legend has it that Chaos Fire split in two to become Yin-Yang Fire.
Qin Chuan didn't know the specifics, but aside from the legendary Chaos Fire, Yin-Yang Fire was the most powerful fire seed. In terms of fire seeds and fire itself, Qin Chuan feared no one.
However, a powerful fire seed wasn't omnipotent. Just like advanced martial arts techniques, without strong cultivation and cultivation level, even the best and most advanced techniques were useless.
The same applied to fire seeds; at a low cultivation level, their power was limited. Fortunately, Qin Chuan's cultivation level was decent, although his overall strength and cultivation level were far inferior to his opponent's.
Even so, Qin Chuan didn't fall behind in the slightest; in fact, to a certain extent, he even suppressed his opponent.
The head steward was completely stunned this time. This seemingly fatal attack not only failed to kill his opponent but also couldn't even injure him.
Previously, he could at least injure his opponent, and his strength was undeniable; he could easily crush his opponent.
But this time, he used his trump card, and not only did he fail to kill his opponent, he was also at a disadvantage. This was a significant blow .
The head steward was somewhat dazed, dumbfounded. What was his strength? What was his opponent's strength? If they couldn't even kill each other, he might as well die.
In fact, the head steward didn't know that using fire against Qin Chuan was extremely inefficient, sometimes only unleashing a fraction of its full power.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't surprising that he was suppressed by Qin Chuan, since fire was Qin Chuan's forte.
The head steward just didn't know this; he had overplayed his hand, and because he didn't know, he could only silently endure the huge blow.
The dragon baby's constant harassment and attacks also annoyed the head steward. The dragon baby, at the Immortal Emperor realm, could at least cause trouble for the head steward.
"Qin Chuan, alright, leave this to me."
A melodious voice came, and a woman slowly walked out, appearing beside Qin Chuan in a flash, a faint smile on her face.
Qin Chuan looked at her and was certain that her Dao foundation was sound; she had crossed this crucial hurdle, passing through the most critical stage of the Great Dao's Forgetfulness of Emotions.
This was nothing short of a rebirth.
For her, it was a rebirth. Like
a phoenix rising from the ashes, she was now a divine phoenix, a goddess of heaven.
