Martial Master

The first reaction of Xu Feng Martial Emperor was to run.

It was very simple; he had already revealed all his trump cards and couldn’t take down Qin Chen. Instead, he felt an unprecedented threat. Moreover, the nearby Skeleton Martial Emperor expert hadn’t even made a move. What would the consequences be if the battle continued?

So, if he didn’t run now, he would just be waiting for death.

Although it was humiliating for him to not be able to kill a young man who was even a rank lower than him, was this the performance of an eighth rank Martial Emperor or even a swordsman?

But in the face of such a harsh reality, Xu Feng Martial Emperor chose to prioritize his own safety.

Struggling would only lead to death; as long as he still had the green mountains, he wouldn’t have to worry about firewood.

Run!

He moved swiftly, as fast as lightning.

Boom! A blood-black sky appeared, blocking his path.

“Jie jie jie, this seat has been waiting for you for a long time, kid. You only thought of running now, it’s too late.”

The sinister laughter echoed, as the Skeleton Captain held a white bone whip in one hand and a blood-colored war spear in the other. Boom! The war spear erupted with a blood-colored aura, merging with the black demonic energy on the bone whip, forming a blood-black sky that turned the valley, now in ruins, into a hellish landscape.

“Where did the master get this war spear? It’s perfectly compatible with the demonic energy inside me.”

The war spear in the Skeleton Captain's hand was the one Qin Chen obtained after slaying Yang Ling from the Wind Walk Sect. Qin Chen had always looked down on such demonic weapons, so he gave it to the Skeleton Captain.

But unexpectedly, the Skeleton Captain wielded it with such ease, casually slashing and creating a blood-black demonic energy cage.

“Hmph, wanting to trap me? Dream on!”

Xu Feng Martial Emperor gathered all his sword energy, gripping a treasured weapon, transforming into a towering long sword, with the raging sword energy shooting straight into the sky. With a thunderous sound, he struck against the blood-black demonic energy.

Boom!

The demonic energy trembled as a massive tear several dozen meters long was ripped open in the blood-black sky. But before Xu Feng Martial Emperor could rush out, that gap quickly closed up again.

What?

Xu Feng Martial Emperor was shocked, and then his whole body went cold.

He actually couldn’t break through this blood-black sky?

“Jie jie jie, the war spear given to me by the master is simply too suitable for me.”

The Skeleton Captain was ecstatic; he could feel the terror of Xu Feng Martial Emperor’s strike. If it were his previous demonic energy, it would definitely have been torn apart by the Xu Feng Sword Emperor’s attack, allowing the opponent to escape. But with the enhancement of this blood-colored war spear, the resilience of the blood-black demonic energy had increased several times.

Such a sky was difficult to break through in a short period unless one had absolutely overwhelming strength.

Xu Feng Martial Emperor finally understood why the Skeleton expert hadn’t made a move during his battle with Qin Chen earlier; it turned out he was setting up this terrifying sky cage. The opponent’s goal from the beginning was to completely annihilate him here.

“Damn it, do you really think you can easily kill me? I am a Martial Emperor, a Sword Dao Martial Emperor.”

Xu Feng Martial Emperor roared in anger. He knew Qin Chen would definitely kill him to silence him, so he cut off any lingering thoughts and chose to fight for his life.

He indeed had a chance because although Qin Chen was on par with him, he was still far from being able to kill him.

Boom! He burned his blood essence, releasing the last trace of blood essence from within his body, completely unleashing the power of the Explosive Blood Pill. At the same time, his momentum was wildly rising. He was burning his blood essence and true essence, and his originally bright eyes looked as if they were about to explode.
