Martial Master

How terrifying! How can there be such a terrifying sword intent in this world?

Ji Ruyue originally thought her Sword Domain was strong enough to withstand all attacks, even to contend with powerful experts at the level of Martial Emperor.

But at this moment, she was horrified. The Sword Domain that she thought was incredibly strong felt as fragile as a bubble in the face of this raging sword intent storm, trembling violently and on the verge of collapse, giving her the illusion that it could be torn apart at any moment.

After just a few breaths of releasing it, she was already struggling to maintain it.

She looked at Qin Chen in shock, finally understanding the immense pressure Qin Chen had endured earlier. He had somehow protected both of them under such a terrifying sword intent killing aura.

"Thank you for saving me just now!" Ji Ruyue said to Qin Chen, still shaken. Although she always found Qin Chen displeasing, she couldn't deny that he had saved her.

If it weren't for Qin Chen, she would have undoubtedly died under the sudden engulfing of this sword intent killing aura.

"Let's not talk about thanks now. We must join forces to resist this terrifying sword intent; otherwise, we will both die here."

Qin Chen said with a grim expression. The seventh level of the Sword Intent Tower was not a place to comprehend sword intent but a place to kill.

Qin Chen was sure that not even he, nor any sword genius would survive under such terrifying killing intent. Without Ji Ruyue to take over his Sword Domain when it shattered earlier, he would have already been dead.

Now he and Ji Ruyue were completely in the same boat; they needed each other to survive.

"What should we do now?"

Ji Ruyue said in a panic, her face pale, clearly nearing her limit under this killing aura.

"I don't know what to do either. I only know that there is no way back now. We must hold on until the妖剑传承 concludes, and then we will be transported out together."

"What if we can't be transported out?"

At this moment, both Qin Chen and Ji Ruyue suddenly remembered the corpse they had seen on the seventh level. Could it be that person also died because they couldn't find an exit after entering the seventh level?

A chill inexplicably rose within them. If the other examinees were transported out after the examination, leaving just the two of them in this endless space without light, what would be the consequence? It would definitely be a fate worse than death.

But they didn't have time to consider such things now; surviving was the most important thing.

"Hang on a little longer."

Qin Chen told Ji Ruyue, then without hesitation took out the array flags to begin setting up a formation.

Ji Ruyue stared at Qin Chen in astonishment, "You are also an array master?"

Qin Chen nodded, "Yes, I am indeed still an array master."

"What?"

Ji Ruyue was shocked again by Qin Chen's words. She looked at him in disbelief. If it were an old man with gray hair telling her he was not only a martial artist but also an array master, she wouldn't have any doubts. But Qin Chen was just a young man of around twenty.

Training in formations requires time to accumulate before it can slowly take shape, and to become a powerful array master, it requires not only time but also extraordinary talent in formations, along with a wealth of resources and opportunities.

How old was Qin Chen? Even if he was a genius at the level of Martial King, he would have exhausted all his time. How could he claim to be an array master?

Yet Ji Ruyue's intuition told her that Qin Chen was definitely not ordinary—he wouldn't lie.

"Even if you are an array master, what use is setting up a formation now? The sword intent attack is so terrifying that even a seventh-level royal array couldn't withstand it, right?"

"Just watch."

Qin Chen understood that even a seventh-level royal array could hardly withstand even a trace of the killing intent from the seventh level, but at this moment, he couldn't hide anything.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

As the array flags fell one by one, a vast array aura began to swirl around the two of them. Ji Ruyue immediately realized that what Qin Chen was setting up was certainly not a simple seventh-level formation; its power was definitely above that of a seventh-level array.
