Martial Master

Qin Chen pondered, feeling the shock within the white-clad figure.

This person was none other than Ji Ruyue, who had also embarked on the supreme Sword Path!

Her aunt was Ji Hongchen, the highest authority of the Law Enforcement Palace in the Northern Sky Domain.

Ji Ruyue was born into the hidden family of Ji in the Martial Domain, one of the most powerful among the major hidden families, possessing extraordinary status and strength.

The Piao Miao Palace governs the world and must cooperate with these secretive families, which is also why Ji Hongchen leads the Law Enforcement Palace in the Northern Sky Domain.

Ji Ruyue had lived in the Ji family since childhood, inheriting the Heavenly Sword Bloodline, and as the daughter of the family head, she was pampered and enjoyed resources that ordinary people couldn't dream of.

At just over twenty, she had already reached the late stage of Martial King, her strength was extraordinary.

However, she was not spoiled; instead, she devoted herself to the study of the Sword Path, diligently working on her swordsmanship. Moreover, she was very close to her aunt Ji Hongchen.

Since Ji Hongchen arrived in the Northern Sky Domain, she rarely returned to the Martial Domain. Recently, Ji Ruyue happened to come to visit Ji Hongchen but learned that Ji Hongchen was in closed-door cultivation. Out of boredom, she heard about the Demon Sword inheritance, which led her to the Demon Sword City to see what this inheritance was all about.

With Ji Ruyue's identity and status, she had heard about and seen countless secret realms since childhood, all of which were the most top-tier realms in the Martial Domain. Therefore, she didn't think much of the Demon Sword inheritance of this royal-level power in the barren Northern Sky Domain.

However, after entering, she encountered the Path of a Hundred Swords, which greatly shocked Ji Ruyue. She realized that this Demon Sword inheritance was likely extraordinary.

Especially after striving with all her might to step onto the supreme Sword Path, Ji Ruyue encountered three simulacra along the way, which not only led to a significant advance and realization in her sword intent but also allowed her cultivation to subtly approach a breakthrough to the peak of the late stage of Martial King, making her extremely excited.

Similar to Qin Chen, upon seeing him, Ji Ruyue was suspicious as to why he was different from the previous simulacra; he wasn't wearing a veil.

Yet Ji Ruyue believed this was due to the increasing realism of the figures simulated by the supreme Sword Path.

Thus, she had no doubts in her heart and immediately engaged in battle with Qin Chen.

Qin Chen didn't expect that the white-clad figure with a veil was actually a sword genius who had also entered the supreme Sword Path.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Chen would recognize her, but at this moment, the mysterious rusted sword was continuously releasing chilling power, attacking Qin Chen's soul, leaving him without enough energy to discern whether the figure before him was a simulacrum or a real martial artist.

He could only think about how to defeat the opponent quickly, absorb the sword intent, and break through to the late stage of Martial King.

As Qin Chen was desperately contemplating, he saw Ji Ruyue's figure moving non-stop, wielding her ancient green sword, and continuously unleashing fierce sword energy.

The sword intent that Ji Ruyue displayed was clearly different from Qin Chen's, imbued with an ethereal aura that left Qin Chen feeling pressured, constantly on the defensive.

Qin Chen dodged repeatedly, occasionally counterattacking, but he found that the opponent's strength was quite comparable to his own. Only true close combat would have power.

Moreover, this time, the supreme Sword Path had evidently enhanced the strength of the simulacra. Qin Chen could clearly sense that the cultivation of this white-clad figure had reached the late stage of Martial King, slightly stronger than his own peak in the mid-stage.

Furthermore, the true essence of the opponent was entirely different from his own but exceptionally powerful.
