Martial Master

Heavens, would anyone believe this if it were said out loud?

And it wasn't just Ji Ruyue; the strength of Qin Chen and the others left everyone dumbfounded, a group of people completely stunned.

The three top seed disciples of the Demon Sword Sect, along with other outstanding talents from imperial-level forces, teamed up to deal with these four people, yet they couldn't achieve victory. What kind of joke is this?

"Who else wants to come up?" Ji Ruyue, holding a green ancient sword, exuded an overpowering chill.

Feng Jue Sword, an ancient imperial weapon!

Imperial weapons, even if they are not unsealed or activated, are sharp enough to make Martial Emperor level martial artists feel apprehensive, let alone King Wu level fighters like Xu Yan.

Though it's said that these prodigies can fight above their level, with late-stage seventh rank cultivation, they are even stronger than the average half-step Martial Emperor, comparable to the weakest Martial Emperor.

But that’s just talk; a Martial Emperor is a Martial Emperor. Without reaching the imperial level, one cannot comprehend their terror.

If someone doesn’t possess a mysterious weapon like Qin Chen’s rusty sword, ordinary martial artists simply cannot withstand it.

Qin Chen’s indestructible holy body is powerful, isn't it? But if struck by Feng Jue Sword, he would still be injured, let alone the prodigies like Xu Yan.

When the sword was unsheathed, the faces of several prodigies changed drastically, all retreating in unison.

What kind of king weapon is this? How can it be so terrifying?

"No, this isn't a king weapon; at the very least, it's an imperial weapon, a Martial Emperor weapon!" Chen Sisi said solemnly.

Coming from the Heavenly Maiden Sect, she was well-informed. Her master owned an imperial weapon, and that supreme aura made her feel both awe and longing.

Although they are all top talents from various imperial-level forces, the most they possess are top king weapons. Imperial weapons are treasures that even some early-stage eighth rank Martial Emperors may not own. Given how strong their sects are, how could they bestow such treasures on these juniors?

"What?" Du Qingcheng and the others were utterly shocked.

An imperial weapon!

This is a treasure exclusive to Martial Emperor level powerhouses; even not every Martial Emperor can have one; only powerful Martial Emperors deserve to possess it. It is a symbol of status and strength.

But now, a mere Martial King possesses an imperial weapon?

How can one believe that?

If they were to learn that the Feng Jue Sword in Ji Ruyue's hand was not just an imperial weapon but rather a ninth rank imperial weapon, everyone would probably faint in shock.

How could they, the heirs of the imperial forces from the Northern Sky Domain, compare to the top hidden families of the Martial Domain?

Shui Leqing and the others’ expressions darkened and changed; for a moment, they didn’t know what to do. Their eyes were filled with greed. What if this imperial weapon fell into their hands? How great would that be? Their strength would absolutely multiply.

Buzz!

Just then, a terrifying sword intent suddenly erupted from the peak of Sword Peak Mountain, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

On the mountaintop, streams of horrifying sword intent continuously released downwards, as if something had been activated.

"The stone tablet of the sword path on the mountaintop has been activated. How is that possible? Who could have arrived at the mountaintop before us?" Shui Leqing exclaimed in anger.

"Must be Leng Xingfeng; it has to be Leng Xingfeng."

"While we are entangled here, that kid actually activated the sword path stone tablet. Damn it, if this continues, won’t he gain the upper hand?"

"No way, the identity of the sect's successor must be mine."

The top seed disciples of the Demon Sword Sect lost all confidence to continue fighting. If they could take down Qin Chen in a short time, it would be fine, but after engaging, they clearly felt that taking down Qin Chen would not be an easy task. Continuing the fight would only allow Leng Xingfeng to gain an advantage.
