Martial Master

You Qianxue's face changed, and just as she was about to take action, she felt a terrifying spatial barrier binding her. Crackling sounds echoed as the spatial barrier on her body and the sword domain trembled continuously, producing loud explosions as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

"Don't bully my sister-in-law, stop!"

Xiao Yi shouted as he rushed forward.

"Stop that damned thing!" the middle-aged man with hawk-like features coldly ordered, clearly not wanting Xiao Yi to disrupt his attack.

Kill! The other two mid-stage peak Martial Emperors immediately charged towards Xiao Yi. Boom, boom, boom! True essence surged as they attacked. Although Xiao Yi's defense was astonishing, he was still just a Devouring Ant, and Devouring Ants typically had sufficient combat power when acting as a swarm, so he was quickly stopped by these two.

"Hmph!" The hawk-like middle-aged man had already broken through You Qianxue's defenses with a palm strike, his dark hand reaching down to grab her fiercely.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a terrifying sword light suddenly shot in from the distance, directly slashing towards the back of the hawk-like middle-aged man.

Who is it?

The hawk-like man's expression darkened as he quickly countered with a palm strike. With a loud boom, the sword energy burst forth, and his palm shattered in the process.

Now, the hawk-like man could see the newcomer—a young man who looked to be just over twenty years old, accompanied by a man cloaked entirely in a hooded cape.

"Qin Chen?"

Qin Chen's reputation in this group was immense, especially after daring to target the Xuan Yuan Empire's Feng Yu Leizi outside the Ancient Yu Realm, making at least seventy percent of martial artists remember him.

"Impossible! This kid is just a commoner from the lower four domains, lucky enough to be chosen by the Alchemy Pavilion, yet he can block my palm?" The hawk-like man's expression changed, and he turned his gaze to the cloaked figure beside Qin Chen. The face was obscured by a mask, making it impossible to discern, but for some reason, the hawk-like man felt a subtle sense of danger emanating from him.

"Qin Chen, you come from the lower four domains, and instead of cultivating properly, you dare to interfere in the matters of my Ancient Way Sect. Leave quickly; this has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude," the hawk-like man coldly snorted. He was extremely angry, having not anticipated this unexpected turn of events.

The immediate priority was to capture the woman from the Enforcement Hall and then secretly kill Qin Chen and the cloaked man. Otherwise, if news got out, he would be finished.

"Boss, you came just in time! If Xiao Yi hadn't sacrificed himself bravely, my sister-in-law would be in danger. That cross-eyed guy was so hateful; not only did he hurt my sister-in-law, but he almost injured me too—it hurt like hell!"

Xiao Yi quickly flew to Qin Chen's side, recounting his glorious deeds to let Qin Chen know how great his contributions were.

"Qianxue, are you alright?"

Qin Chen completely ignored Xiao Yi, his figure flashing as he arrived in front of You Qianxue. Seeing the bloodstains on her white robe, his heart filled with immense anger.

A wave of fury instantly ignited within him, impossible to suppress.

"Chen Shao!"

You Qianxue stared blankly at Qin Chen, tears streaming down her face. Earlier anxiety and torment poured out like a dam bursting, not caring about anything.

Though it had only been a year since they parted, during her time in the Enforcement Hall and Piao Miao Palace, You Qianxue missed Qin Chen every single moment.

That longing made her wish to drop everything and find him.

Earlier, in front of the Rainbow Bridge, she had suppressed her yearning, but faced with danger and the despair of life and death moments ago, she thought of Qin Chen again.

She wasn't afraid of death; her greatest fear was that at the moment of death, she wouldn't be able to see Qin Chen.

And now, Qin Chen had arrived, just in the nick of time, like a world-renowned hero stepping onto a five-colored cloud, appearing in front of her.
