Chapter 148 - War Starts

Qin Chen was surprised. He didn’t think that Supreme Sage Peng would try to recruit him. After all, his relationship with the roc imperial clan was far from good.

“I know that you have many conflicts with the roc imperial clan. But don’t worry, as long as you join my clan, I will not pursue the matter any further. I will even distribute cultivation resources to you according to the elder’s share,” When he saw that Qin Chen did not say anything, Supreme Sage Peng Kong extended the offer once more. He was determined to recruit Qin Chen into the roc Imperial clan.

After all, who wouldn’t be tempted by such a refining master with unrivaled combat power? Even the far ancient imperial clan would be tempted.

Although Qin Chen did not have any racial discrimination, he would never join another race. Moreover, he had the system with him, so he did not care for the cultivation resources of the roc imperial clan. He decisively shook his head and refused, “I’m sorry, but I refuse!”

“What?” Supreme Sage Peng cried out in shock. He did not understand why Qin Chen would reject him. One must know that the benefits he offered were quite rich. Just the condition that the other party would be protected by the roc Imperial clan was something that would make many humans outside agree without hesitation.

In addition to the elder-level cultivation resources, he could not understand why Qin Chen would reject him.

“I’ve already done what I promised you. Goodbye!” Qin Chen smiled. After checking in here for half a month, he was no longer in the mood to stay here. He stepped into the void and prepared to leave.

“Race leader, we can’t let him go!” A shout was heard as Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, who was previously forced to flee by Qin Chen, appeared and blocked the latter’s leaving path.

Qin Chen’s eyes turned cold. Even though he was facing the two Supreme Sages, he was not afraid at all. He asked them, “What do you mean by this? Do you want to go back on your word?”

“Human Elder King, the race leader has only agreed to bring you in, but he never agreed to let you go. Don’t even think about leaving here today!” Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared with hatred. If such a person could not be used by the roc imperial clan, they would have to kill him.

With a wave of his hand, a sky full of array runes gushed out and turned into an array, trapping Qin Chen inside.

Qin Chen was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he looked at Supreme Sage Peng Kong and asked coldly, “Supreme Sage Peng Kong, you can’t win me over, so you’re going to kill me?”

Supreme Sage Peng was a little hesitant. As a Supreme Sage that dominated the primordial era, he would naturally not resort to such despicable means normally. However, the human Elder King’s talent was simply too shocking. If the other party was allowed to grow, he would probably become a major threat to the roc imperial clan and the ten thousand ancient races.

“Human Elder King, as long as you agree to join my race, I can immediately remove the array,” Supreme Sage Peng looked at Qin Chen with a serious expression. The meaning behind his words was self-evident. If Qin Chen still refused to join the roc Imperial clan, he would kill him.

“Hehe, what righteous words! What if I don’t agree?” Qin Chen shouted coldly. Even though he was in their territory, he had no fear.

“Human Elder King, you are seeking your own destruction!” Supreme Sage Peng Kong’s face turned cold as the energy within his body surged. He was about to attack.

“Race leader, why waste words on him? I’ll activate the array to kill him now!” Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared and his aura burst forth. Spiritual energy surged and the array was fully activated by him, erupting with a power that would make even a Supreme Sage’s expression change.

“This is our race’s killing array. During the primordial age, it killed other Supreme Sages. Human Elder King, you will die today!” Supreme Sage Peng Zhen snorted coldly. His face was filled with hatred. He still remembered the humiliation that Qin Chen had brought him not long ago. Today, he had to take revenge.

The killing array was activated, and the array patterns surged, bringing a terrifying sense of oppression to Qin Chen. A sword light came, followed by terrifying sword energy.

Qin Chen’s expression changed. He did not want to die here, so he immediately summoned the extreme emperor weapon. The Son of Heaven’s Sword appeared, and the sword energy that could kill a Supreme Sage shattered inch by inch. Even the killing array was shattering.

“Race leader!” Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared.

Supreme Sage Peng Kong’s face turned cold and a murderous look appeared in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the ancient imperial weapon, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword, appeared out of thin air. It unleashed its emperor’s might to restrain the Son of Heaven’s sword.

The two extreme emperor weapons clashed and the entire forest shook. Many trees and mountains were cut in half, and screams sounded, coming from the members of the roc imperial clan in the surroundings.

“Activate the race-protecting array!” Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared and all the Sages from the roc Imperial clan unleashed their powers. Golden Sage runes rose from the ground and covered the entire Roc Forest.

With the help of the golden Sage runes, every blade of grass and tree in the forest became extremely hard. Even the shockwaves from the collision of emperor weapons could not destroy the plants a hundred miles away. Of course, this was under the premise that the emperor weapons were not fully unleashed.

Qin Chen was a little surprised. He didn’t expect the roc imperial clan’s protective array to be so powerful that it could even protect the aftermath of emperor weapon battles. No wonder these two dared to attack him here.

“Human Elder King, even if you have an emperor weapon, you won’t be able to survive today!” Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared as his Sagely might spread. His entire body glowed with golden light as he activated the killing array with all his might, attempting to kill Qin Chen with it.

Qin Chen did not dare to hold back anymore. He took out the Desolate Divine Halberd decisively and struck at the array with all his might.

A corner of the array was already broken by the emperor weapon before this, so with the halberd attack, a hole was torn in the array, allowing Qin Chen to escape.

“Detestable! Don’t even think about escaping!” Supreme Sage Peng Zhen growled as he activated a Sage King weapon and chased after Qin Chen. He unleashed his full power and struck out at the latter.

“Get lost!” Qin Chen roared as he swung the Desolate Divine Halberd and unleashed the Eight Desolation Strikes. The attack was so powerful that it sent Supreme Sage Peng Zhen flying.

However, just as he was about to leave the Roc Forest, he was blocked by Supreme Sage Peng Kong, who was wielding the Star-shattering Halberd.

“You won’t be able to leave today!” Supreme Sage Peng Kong shouted coldly. He was in no hurry to attack.

“Fight!” Qin Chen was fearless as he wielded the Desolate Divine Halberd to meet the attack. He unleashed his full power as he continuously cast offensive Emperor supernormal knowledge at Supreme Sage Peng Kong. The surrounding void was shattered.

“To think you’ve mastered so much offensive supernormal knowledge. No wonder Peng Zhen isn’t your opponent. It’s a pity that you’re only at level 7 of the Sage King realm. Even if you use a secret technique to increase your strength, you’re still not my opponent,” Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted arrogantly and continued to use the roc secret technique to block all of Qin Chen’s attacks.

At the moment when Qin Chen was taking a break in his attack, Supreme Sage Peng Kong suddenly burst forth with all his might and activated the Star-shattering Halberd in his hand. A terrifying aura was released as he charged toward Qin Chen in an instant.

When Supreme Sage Peng Zhen saw this attack from afar, a smile appeared on his face. He had known Supreme Sage Peng Kong for many years and he knew very well that this attack was enough to take Qin Chen’s life.

However, at this moment of life and death, a smile suddenly appeared on Qin Chen’s face. Both Supreme Sage Peng Zhen and Supreme Sage Peng Kong cried out in unison!
