Huang Hao finally felt a sense of relief, knowing that his safety was assured with his grandfather's arrival.
In the entire Sacred Realm, only two individuals could exert pressure on his grandfather, and those were the other two Sacred Emperors.
Unfortunately, these two Sacred Emperors had not appeared for millions of years. In the current Sacred Realm, those at the peak of the Saint Venerable realm were the true super experts.
Therefore, Huang Hao believed his grandfather stood at the pinnacle of the Sacred Realm.
"Who dares to harm my Hao'er? I will tear them to shreds."
As a voice echoed from the distance, an elder with an immortal demeanor instantly appeared before everyone.
"Grandfather." Huang Hao was so excited he was on the verge of tears.
Grandfather had finally arrived, and he no longer had to endure humiliation.
Huang Hao shouted towards Xia Feng, "This is my grandfather. Now that he's here, whether you believe it or not is no longer up to you."
"Young Master, may I test the gap between myself and a peak Saint Venerable? Is that permissible?" Liu Chan asked Xia Feng via transmission, her fighting spirit ablaze.
"Go ahead. With me here, you have nothing to worry about. Let go and have a good spar," Xia Feng nodded.
"Yes, Young Master."
After receiving Xia Feng's affirmation, Liu Chan stepped forward and rebuked Huang Zhentian,
"Huang Zhentian, you indulge your grandson's rampage in the Sacred Realm, bullying the weak and harming innocent children. He deserves to die. Today, I, Liu Chan, shall battle you."
Huang Zhentian's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Liu Chan with a smile and said, "You, a mere early Saint Venerable, dare to challenge me? Considering you are a Saint Venerable, I'll grant you some face. Apologize to my grandson, then personally deal with the man beside you, and hand over the other two women to my grandson. Only then will I spare you."
"Grandfather, this woman killed Elder Seven. We cannot let her go," Huang Hao hastily reported.
Huang Zhentian ignored his grandson, as Saint Venerable experts deserved respect.
He knew Liu Chan would not comply with his terms. If she did, then he would let her leave.
This was the rule of the Sacred Realm. Everyone here was a powerful Saint Venerable, and they rarely openly clashed unless absolutely necessary.
"You're dreaming." Liu Chan spoke, then drew her sword, preparing to challenge Huang Zhentian, who was three realms higher than her.
It could be said that the gap in power between Liu Chan and Huang Zhentian was as vast as the heavens and earth.
A Saint Venerable challenging a peak Saint Venerable would be enough to shock the world if word got out.
Seeing Liu Chan unmoved and preparing to act, Huang Zhentian's lips curved into a smile. "Then I shall oblige you."
With that, Huang Zhentian vanished like lightning and lunged towards Liu Chan.
Liu Chan, not to be outdone, channeled all her Saint Force to its limit, searching for Huang Zhentian's position.
Liu Chan's reaction speed was quite fast, but Huang Zhentian was even faster. The moment Liu Chan shifted her focus, Huang Zhentian's figure appeared before her.
"Ah..." Liu Chan cried out, quickly raising her sword to block. However, she was utterly unable to withstand Huang Zhentian's attack. A metallic clang echoed as Liu Chan was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Hahaha... A mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly overestimating its strength." Huang Zhentian looked at Liu Chan triumphantly.
"If you admit defeat now, you can still live."
Liu Chan shook her head. "I will only concede to my Young Master. You are not worthy!" With that, Liu Chan picked up her sword and charged at Huang Zhentian again.
"Very well, since you are so stubborn, then you shall die!" Seeing this, Huang Zhentian's expression turned grim.
He no longer held back, unleashing his ultimate move and delivering a punch towards Liu Chan.
At this moment, Liu Chan pushed herself to her absolute limit, using her sword to parry Huang Zhentian's assault. Her sword had already shattered, but she still did not give up.
"Crack..." After the sword broke, it magically reassembled and continued to resist Huang Zhentian's onslaught.
Huang Zhentian frowned at this. "Since you refuse to surrender, I will send you to the afterlife!"
With that, Huang Zhentian punched Liu Chan again. Liu Chan gritted her teeth and braced herself.
However, Huang Zhentian's offensive was too powerful. One punch landed on Liu Chan, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xia Feng had been watching Liu Chan the entire time. The immense difference in their strength made her injuries inevitable. However, if she didn't get injured, she wouldn't be able to comprehend the gap between them.
When the situation reached a suitable point, and Liu Chan was heavily wounded, rendering further combat pointless, Xia Feng called out,
"Chan'er, retreat. The difference in your strengths is too great."
Liu Chan also knew she had given her all. Being able to block Huang Zhentian's attacks twice was already quite remarkable.
Upon hearing Xia Feng's call, Liu Chan immediately retreated to his side.
After Liu Chan returned, Xia Feng placed a hand on her back, and her chaotic aura was quickly stabilized. The injuries she had just sustained healed instantly.
At this moment, Huang Zhentian looked at Xia Feng with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Who was this person?
