Chapter 335: "Do You Think I'm Also Dumb?"_3
The exact age of the bones is unknown, but he looks around eighteen or nineteen, with a slightly immature face, yet a voluptuous figure characteristic of a mature woman—typical mature body, youthful face, which many men find appealing.
In front of this girl, three stern-looking middle-aged men are kneeling.
The young woman walked out of the hot spring without a care for the presence of the three men, naked, and began to dress, while the men kept their heads down, not daring to glance up.
Sensing the whiff of intrigue, Chen Qiu did not act immediately; rather, he watched with interest, eager to discover who in the Tidal Immortal Realm would dare make a move against him.
More importantly, why would they want to target him?
He was certain he hadn't offended anyone nor had enemies, moreover, even if they succeeded in killing him, what benefit would it bring?
Just then—
The girl finished dressing, and after pausing for a few moments, spoke in a crisp and melodious voice: "According to your reports, this Chen Qiu is quite a character, indeed an outstanding figure in this Fifth-grade Immortal Realm."
"My lady keeps urging me to get married and has already found a husband for me."
"It's so troubling."
"Now, I should be able to enjoy some easy times."
The girl, now dressed, lay back casually in a nearby rocking chair, unconcerned about her earlier exposure, lazily resting her jade-like arm under her head, "The husband my lady found is quite powerful, but not too bright—he thinks that by killing all my suitors, he can marry me formally."
"I've told my lady that I'm quite fond of this Chen Qiu from the Tidal Immortal Realm. Surely my lady will relay this to my husband."
"I hope this Chen Qiu is truly as strong as the rumors say to fend off my husband for a while."
"Perhaps then I can have some peace."
...
"..."
Hidden under the guise of invisibility, Chen Qiu listened expressionlessly to their conversation, understanding their origins—they clearly weren't locals of the Tidal Immortal Realm, but probably from a higher-grade Immortal Realm.
He was soon to confront an unknown enemy threat.
This was purely a disaster out of nowhere.
He did absolutely nothing, and yet found himself with an enemy to deal with; losing meant death, while winning would incur the wrath of the forces backing this person.
Interesting.
He decided against hiding himself, revealing his presence as Spiritual Energy surged forth, sweeping up the girl lying on the chair into his small world without her consent.
Human Immortal Peak Cultivation, bone age truly only nineteen.
Such age and cultivation were indeed terrifying, but far from being a threat in front of him!
"Damn it!!!"
The instant he showed himself, the three middle-aged men who were kneeling immediately reacted with anger and fear, explosively unleashing Heavenly Immortal Peak Cultivation—Chen Qiu's brow slightly furrowed, for their earlier humble demeanor didn't align with such cultivation.
He did not fear.
Yet he wished to avoid excessive entanglements, so he immediately released his Spiritual Energy, activating his Protective Spirit Qi while casually hurling thousands of Thunder Summoning Techniques to repel the three Heavenly Immortal Peak-cultivation men, preparing for withdrawal.
However—
As those thousands of Thunder Summoning Techniques effortlessly slammed into the three Heavenly Immortal Peak-cultivation men, the techniques astonishingly bypassed their Protective Spirit Qi and even Magic Treasures, striking directly on their bodies.
"Boom Boom!!!"
Accompanied by the sound of Thunder Arcs exploding, numerous Thunder Arcs continued to shimmer across the courtyard floor.
"Hmm?"
Chen Qiu, who was just preparing to leave, suddenly halted, bewildered, gazing at the ground where three bodies... lay?
Dead?
Weren't you three Heavenly Immortal Peak Cultivators? Dead just like that?
What's the situation?
He merely waved some Thunder Summoning Techniques offhandedly to repel you, not even utilizing his Body Killing Move "Three Thousand Thunders Move", just the basic Thunder Summoning Techniques from his Earth Immortal eighth-level Cultivation!
There was just a tiny exaggeration in the number due to Thousand-layered Spellcasting.
Yet you were supposed to be Heavenly Immortal Peak Cultivators—the limit in the Tidal Immortal Realm—and you perished so easily?
Chen Qiu gazed at his hands in confusion, quickly realizing; under the absolute trait "Ignore Defense", it seemed his damage had overflowed a little...
This was his first battle after acquiring this trait, even he hadn't comprehended it yet.
So strong...
Directly applying Magic Attack to the body—only Body Cultivation practitioners could hope to withstand with sheer bodily strength, while other Magic Practitioners, Array Repairers, and those with fragile constitutions perished in a single blow.
No need for tricks; ordinary attacks sufficed.
After a long pause.
Chen Qiu then quietly cast his gaze over the courtyard, over the three corpses covered in Thunder Arcs, muttering: "Absurd."
He must forgo such colossal fortune henceforth, as this left him without a proper grasp of his true strength. Had he known he was so potent, he wouldn't have retreated.
Such a pity.
Pity Ba Dan was on his side; otherwise, he would have enjoyed testing whether a True Immortal could withstand him.
The attacks from the three Heavenly Immortal Peak cultivators—executed against him at the point of death—after shattering his Protective Spirit Qi were entirely absorbed by his unique reward, "Thunder Clothes," leaving him unscathed.
