Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

311: In-depthChen Tianming narrowed his eyes, secretly sighing that this person was indeed extraordinary.

He had not expected that the master of this fantasy world would actually give him such a heaven-defying system.

Meanwhile, the Chess Saint was calm and composed.

He even had time to explain to those around him.

”This is Samadhi True Fire! I didn’t expect that after being extinct on the continent for so many years, it would appear here at the South Heaven Gate!”

The crowd was shocked.

”Samadhi True Fire?! Young Master Chess Saint, are you sure you can defend against it?”

The Chess Saint gave a disdainful laugh.

”Hmph! What does this count for? I have long since comprehended the Great Dao truths contained within the Ice Crystal Palace. Using ice to control fire is easy!”

He changed from pushing with his palms to using two fingers. His immortal armor vibrated, and he truly appeared quite high-spirited.

However, Chen Tianming sighed, not because he thought the other was formidable, but because this feeling was like buying a fighting cock at a market.

Chen Tianming had found an arrogant fighting cock.

Now, he wanted to see just how sharp this big rooster’s beak could be!

He gently pinched his fingers together.

The raging flames in the tunnel instantly surged.

The Chess Saint immediately felt the resistance on his hands increase. He widened his eyes, his expression becoming strained. His fingers went back to palms, then to double palms.

Finally, he kicked his legs hard, his entire body struggling against the scorching wall of fire.

Soon, his spiritual power was insufficient, and his body began to sway.

Bang!

A loud noise rang out.

The outer side of the grand array in the Chess Saint’s hands suddenly collapsed, and the hellish Samadhi True Fire rushed straight into the crowd.

In an instant, it claimed the lives of over a dozen Great Immortals!

Although the Chess Saint cared about his reputation, at this moment, he had to admit that he could no longer contend with such pure Samadhi True Fire.

”Fellow Immortals, help me quickly!”

This phrase sounded incredibly familiar to everyone.

But just like before, not a single person stepped in to help.

Faced with such danger, the crowd’s first reaction was not to work together to resist the disaster.

It was actually the exact opposite.

They turned and ran!

What promises, what life’s learning of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Nothing was more important than their own lives.

For a time, they all flew with all their might.

Only one person struck out with a palm, pressing it directly onto the Chess Saint’s shoulder.

The Chess Saint was surprised, which then turned into stubborn rebelliousness.

”You should have fled. This is Samadhi True Fire; even with your spiritual power to assist, it won’t hold for long!”

Unexpectedly, White-Eyebrow replied.

”You are my son! How could I just watch you walk to your death?”

The Chess Saint shut his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two of them struggled bitterly to hold on.

Chen Tianming saw that this pair of father and son had reached their limit.

Moreover, judging from the protagonist’s reaction, he must have reached a turning point in the plot.

Chen Tianming slowly released his pinched fingers, withdrawing the Samadhi True Fire.

At this moment, the pressure on the Chess Saint suddenly decreased.

And Venerable White-Eyebrow, whether out of concern for his son or considering other matters, didn’t know.

For a moment, he didn’t react in time, and by withdrawing his power just a blink too late, he pushed the Chess Saint flying.

Although the Chess Saint was unhurt, he felt even more annoyed by his own father’s uncalled-for display of concern that ended up knocking him away.

The flames receded. White-Eyebrow looked back and saw that among the group of Great Immortals, only Chen Tianming remained.

He immediately became suspicious.

”Why did you not flee?”

Chen Tianming waved his hand, and a suit of shining ice armor instantly covered his entire body, while he confidently replied.

”Because I am not afraid, therefore I did not flee!”

The scorching flames touched Chen Tianming’s body, but to him, he felt nothing.

Seeing Chen Tianming’s ice armor was so miraculous, the Chess Saint was momentarily stunned.

Then, he suddenly spoke.

”There is cause and effect. So the so-called inheritance of the Ice Crystal Palace is used for this!”

At this time, the Samadhi True Fire gradually extinguished.

Some of the Great Immortals who had fled returned.

They deeply regretted their actions just now; having fled in the face of battle, they didn’t know how Venerable White-Eyebrow would treat them.

But perhaps, Venerable White-Eyebrow and the Chess Saint had already been burned to death by the Samadhi True Fire!

They hurriedly ran back to see if they could collect some relics.

But they were surprised to find that both Venerable White-Eyebrow and the Chess Saint were still alive, and alive and well.

Beside them appeared that ice-armored man again.

The Great Immortals couldn’t help but question.

”This... is this the Ice Palace inheritance?”

”So that’s it! So that’s it! They actually arranged it in this order!”

At this time, some of the other Great Immortals who had run away returned one after another.

White-Eyebrow did not blame them, but instead said.

”Everyone, I am very grateful that you were able to come to your senses!”

But White-Eyebrow’s words could no longer reach anyone’s heart.

From the moment the Samadhi True Fire appeared, no one in the team believed in Venerable White-Eyebrow anymore.

Plus the ice armor breaking through the fire, the ice armor breaking through the light.

All these causes and effects made the Great Immortals believe that the ruins of the Ice Crystal Palace were definitely not something someone created to intentionally kill them.

Quite the opposite.

The creator of the ruins had long since left them a path to survive.

It was just that their abilities were insufficient, and they simply didn’t meet the standards.

Since they didn’t pass the assessment, naturally they wouldn’t have it as comfortable as Chen Tianming.

Thus, on the surface, everyone was very respectful to Venerable White-Eyebrow, but behind his back, they were already thinking about currying favor with Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming was now like a key, unlocking all the secrets of the Ice Crystal Palace one by one.

And there was no lack of people thinking in their hearts about how to kill Chen Tianming and seize his ice armor.

At this time, White-Eyebrow also saw these people’s thoughts.

He directly stood up for Chen Tianming.

”Everyone! This fellow Daoist indeed has some fortuitous encounters, but if it weren’t for him taking the initiative to help this time, I, White-Eyebrow, would have died under the Samadhi True Fire!”

White-Eyebrow’s words were mixed with the deterrence of the world’s strongest, making everyone feel suffocated.

At this point, even if someone coveted Chen Tianming’s frost armor, they had to consider whether they could overcome the backing of Venerable White-Eyebrow.

However, White-Eyebrow could not guess.

The reason Chen Tianming intervened repeatedly was precisely because he didn’t want White-Eyebrow to have any suspicions.

He had to demonstrate his value, and when necessary, even cooperate with White-Eyebrow’s actions.

His shining frost armor, paraded openly, aroused the envy and jealousy of countless people.

White-Eyebrow was arbitrary and decisive.

Originally, his claim of not respecting the gods was already enough to cause dissatisfaction, and now he was intentionally protecting Chen Tianming.

This approach would only make the immortals isolate him even more.

White-Eyebrow didn’t feel the isolation from the others at all.

Or rather, he simply didn’t care.

For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, killing a few Golden Immortals was as simple as pinching an ant.

Chen Tianming expressed his stance again at this moment.

”To be so highly regarded by Venerable White-Eyebrow, this one is ashamed. If it weren’t for this ice armor, I fear I would have also perished here. However, besides this, I have one more thing to say, I do not know if it is appropriate!”

White-Eyebrow waved his hand.

”Then naturally, feel free to speak!”

Chen Tianming, like a charlatan, hoodwinked everyone.

”Ever since I received the divine favor—uh, no! Ever since I received this armor, there has been a voice in my ears from the netherworld, urging me to enter the depths!”

White-Eyebrow frowned.

He was a little angry in his heart.

He immediately gave the Chess Saint a look: This kid, what does he mean?

The Chess Saint was unwilling to pay attention to this nominal father.

He just gave a light hmph.

”Since we have already reached this point, naturally we must go deeper!”
