Five miles.....

Four miles.....

Three miles.....

Two miles.....

Within just a few minutes, the thousand of powerful warriors along with their ferocious demon beasts' mounts were already two miles away from the city.

It's a truly terrifying sight to behold!

They projected a powerful and apocalyptic visual impact. It was as if there was a monstrous storm or a tsunami bursting out the void, and rushing toward the city in order to submerge and engulf it with every soul in it.

Their speed wasn't too slow nor too fast. However, it created an immense psychological pressure and deterrence to the people that were still staying in the city.

A vast pressure spread from the warriors' bodies, blowing away the white cloud. The sky seemed to be shaking and the space around them started to crack like a giant broken mirror.

Looking at the powerful and overwhelming aura soaring in the sky, many of them regretted staying. They were simply aghast at this apocalyptic sight and their complexions were rapidly changing. Their eyes showed unprecedented despair and grave expression.

Originally, they thought that they could still be safe if they stayed in their houses. However, after seeing this legion of powerful warriors approaching their city from the sky, everything seemed to have become a hopeless situation.

They didn't think that the Eight Ancients Families would send that many warriors just to capture a single person.

They couldn't believe that the remaining Eight Ancients Families had mustered all of their strength to face a single youth.

A battle between four or five Martial Saints was enough to lay waste to a small city. What about a thousand?

After arriving a few hundred meters away from the city, the surging momentum of the thousand of fierce warriors along with their ferocious demon beast's mounts suddenly stopped.

At the same time, The ground that seemed as though it was on the verge of being torn into asunder a few seconds ago also stopped shaking.

The atmosphere suddenly became somber, seemingly becoming frozen. The breezes stopped along with the flow of time.

Suddenly.

" Ling Chen! Get out! We know that you're here."

A deafening and thunderous voice, akin to thunder in the sky, rang across the whole Black Iron City.

The owner of that voice seemed to have amplified and imbued his voice with immense spiritual power as it stroke fears into the hearts of everyone who heard it.

Not to mention the mortals, many of the lower realm warriors couldn't help but shiver as their limbs went limp upon hearing that thunderous and powerful voice.

As for the regular mortals, most of them vomited blood. They also felt as though their eardrums were about to explode.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen only burst out into laughter upon hearing that voice as he jokingly answered."Hahaha, you guys finally made it. I was turning into an old man waiting for you."

At the same time, before his voice could even fade away, his body suddenly transformed into a stream of black light, soaring into the sky and darting toward the thousand of fierce warriors in the sky.

And right after he left, Azure followed him as well. Though she wasn't in the same room as Ling Chen, she was able to see and hear everything as well.

As Ling Chen's contracted demon beast, it was her duty to protect her master. As such, she didn't flinch as she quickly followed behind him.

At this moment, Ling Chen stood calmly in the sky while looking at the thousand of powerful warriors opposite of him with the icy cold Azure standing behind him like a servant.

Even knowing full well that countless experts were waiting to kill him, Ling Chen didn't hide or run away. He instead chose to face them alone along with his servant. Such a person was either truly confident in his power or was a madman.

Ling Chen was as calm as ever as his gaze swept past everyone.

Meanwhile, the thousand of warriors along with their demon beasts stood where they were as unmoving as statues as they were observing Ling Chen as well.

Every single one of them was Martial Saint powerhouses. They didn't even bother to hide their auras as they let it surge like a monstrous storm. The dense killing intent emitted from their pupils was enough to make one shiver in fear.

They were like a terrifying hurricane in the sky, ready to swallow Ling Chen whole at any time. It felt as though Ling Chen was a little boat facing a tsunami.

After scanning the thousand of Martial Saint warriors with his playful and nonchalant gaze, Ling Chen shifted his attention towards the tens of thousands of warriors on the ground in front of the city gate.

They were all warriors as well. Furthermore, though they weren't soldiers, they still had the momentum of a grand army.

While Ling Chen was facing the thousands of powerful Martial Saint in the sky, almost every powerful influence within the Heaven Suppression Region was also watching him from far away with their treasures.

These powerful influences possessed powerful treasures such as Heaven Rank Mirrors that allowed them to see events that's happening miles away from them. However, the cost of operating such treasures was also great and costly.

Even the Demi-Gods' influences were also watching this live event.

"I hope I can play the hero this time otherwise I won't have any leverage when I talk to him." Murmured a middle-aged woman, watching Ling Chen facing the thousands of warriors from one of the streets of Black Iron City.

"So, you are Ling Chen." As Ling Chen was still observing the thousands of warriors below, a cold and murderous voice rang out within his ear.

It was the same cold and murderous voice that called him out earlier.

Though they already knew about Ling Chen, it was their first time seeing him in person. As such, they were carefully studying from head to toe

Without any delay, Ling Chen lifted his head and looked at the owner of the voice. It was a man with gray hair. He had a white mask that hid his face and was emitting an aura as cold as ice.

His eyes were especially cold and sharp like an owl. People's hair would stand on end if they were stared at by this pair of eyes. At the same time, He exuded a presence that would cause even Martial Saints to tremble.

Behind him was another eight white hair old men. Even though they didn't seem as powerful as the white mask man, they weren't to be trifled with either.

They had all broken through the 9th Tribulation Martial Saint. However, the white mask man seemed to be more powerful than them even though he was a 9th Tribulation Martial Saint as well.

Though Ling Chen didn't know who that white mask man was, he was certain that the eight old men behind him were the leader or the ancestors of the Eight Ancient Families.

As for the force behind them. They were clearly composed of the elites of the Eight Ancient Families as well as the Young Deities. They were all powerful warriors that stood at the apex of the Sun Demi-God Domain.

One could say that the most powerful warriors throughout the whole Sun Demi-God Region were gathered here, at this moment. Well, except for the Sun Demi-God and her followers.

They were all here for one thing and that was to either capture or kill Ling Chen.

"Indeed, I am Ling Chen and who might you be?"Ling Chen casually answered as he was looking at the white mask man with an amiable smile on his face.

Despite facing thousands of the most powerful warriors within the Sun Demi-God Domain, Ling Chen remained as calm and motionless as a mountain.

It was as if the people in front him wasn't a bunch of powerful and fierce warriors but a group of harmless bunnies while he was a ferocious lion.

This nonchalant and indifferent attitude didn't slip past the warriors, they could tell that Ling Chen didn't take them seriously which somehow confused and angered them at the same time.

It wasn't the reaction that they were waiting for. Ling Chen was simply too calm for them. The little bastard was as calm as a cucumber.

"You are rather calm despite knowing your current situation. Are you not afraid of death?" Coldly asked the white mask man as he was looking at the indifferent Ling Chen with his cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Hahaha." Upon hearing the white mask man's question, Ling Chen suddenly burst out in laughter. It was if he had just heard the joke of the millennium as he answered: " You are really funny. Have you ever seen a lion cowers in fear in front of a flock of chicken?"

"You also asked me if I'm not afraid of death. Well, death should happy that I don't come knocking on his door."

"This kid is indeed domineering and arrogant. However, I like it. This is how a man should be. Let's hope he has the strength the back up that arrogance of his. Facing the combined power of thousand Martial Saints powerhouses won't be easy. Unless one is a Demi-God, it's impossible to get out unscathed." Murmured the middle-aged woman as she was looking at Ling Chen with a seductive smile on her face.

Meanwhile, the white mask man was furious. As a direct disciple of one of the strongest Demi-Gods in Heaven Suppressing Region, his power and status commanded respect throughout the whole Heaven Suppression Region. Now, seeing how a little backwater brat didn't give a damn about him in the slightest, how could he not be angry?

Not only him, but the rest of the Eight ancestors of the Eight Ancient Families were also fuming with rage as well. If it wasn't for the fact that the white mask man, they would have rushed in tear the little brat into shreds already.

However, they couldn't do anything reckless as he was the one in charge of this operation. Furthermore, he was acting under the order of Thunder Demi-God Ye. If it wasn't because of the Treaty Of Gods, Thunder Demi-God Ye would come here himself to take care of him.

"Naive fool, still blustering even after knowing your current situation. Do you really think you can take us on?" Coldly asked the white mask man as he was glaring at Ling with his cold eyes which were full of a murderous intent that resembled the cold glints of blades.

Though he was still a peak Martial Saint powerhouse that was only a step away from the Demo-God Rank, he didn't dare to recklessly attack Ling Chen.

His master had already told him about Ling Chen's frightening power as well as his weird abilities. He had no plan on facing him head-on at this moment. His plan was simple, send the others to test Ling Chen's true power as well as wearing him down.

"It seems like you won't understand what I'm trying to tell you until I show you. Well, let me show you then what happens when a pride of lions encounters a flock of chicken." Answered Ling Chen with a devious smile on his face.

At the same time.

Swoosh!

Before Ling Chen's voice could even fade away, a giant black hole that looked a dimensional portal suddenly materialized in the sky behind his back. And from the depth of the black hole or the other side, one could see several vicious-looking red-haired creatures.
