Martial Master

Boom!

A tremendous explosion occurred in the valley, the deafening roar overshadowing everything.

What?

The middle-aged man from the Eagle Claw faction was shocked. Who is this cloaked figure, possessing such immense strength?

Moreover, the bone whip and blood-red war spear wielded by the cloaked figure contained an overwhelming aura of demonic energy. The middle-aged man felt a surge of anger and fear. Who is this person? When did the Alchemy Pavilion have such a powerful practitioner of demonic arts?

"Kill!"

He roared, employing a secret technique to activate the golden bronze gong, charging toward the Skeleton Captain once again. At the same time, his powerful spatial barrier immediately enveloped the Skeleton Captain.

“Gagagaga, just a few tricks.”

The Skeleton Captain cackled, swinging the white bone whip like a sharp sword, spiraling toward the middle-aged man from the Eagle Claw faction.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The chains formed by the white bone whip surrounded the middle-aged man completely, resembling a net from the heavens.

Boom! Boom!

On another side, the two mid-level peak Martial Emperors were furiously charging at Qin Chen and You Qianxue.

Qin Chen held You Qianxue’s hand with one hand, his eyes coldly mocking as he looked at the two.

“What kind of gaze is that? How dare you underestimate us!” The two men roared angrily, their auras surging like never before, their eyes turning red, and all their latent potential unleashed.

They knew that today, it was either they died or Qin Chen and You Qianxue died. Only if Qin Chen and You Qianxue were dead could they survive.

But to their shock, just as their attacks were about to hit their targets, Qin Chen remained utterly unmoved, as if he didn’t need to defend at all.

This kid is too arrogant.

The two felt a surge of joy and pushed their true essence to the limit, seeing their attacks about to land on Qin Chen.

Suddenly—

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz...

The valley was suddenly filled with the sound of swarming insects, and then they saw a group of peculiar flying bugs excitedly calling out from behind them: “Little Fire, why did it take you so long to get here? These two dare to attack Big Sister and Boss, let’s take them down!”

The two turned their heads in fear, their faces instantly showing expressions of immense terror, as they saw a swarm of dark shadows flying in from outside the valley. These shadows were all black insects, moving at incredible speed, quickly encircling them.

“Not good.”

The two didn’t have time to attack Qin Chen and immediately turned to strike at the swarm of flying insects.

Boom!

The terrifying true essence swept across, crashing into the flying insects, but to their shock, these flying bugs appeared completely unharmed, their speed only slightly hindered, and then they crazily swarmed around the two.

Crack, crack, crack!

A fine chewing sound echoed; the two immediately felt their protective true essence fading rapidly, while countless insects clung to them, frantically devouring their true essence.

“No!”

The true essence within their bodies flowed away rapidly like a bursting dam, and they were horrified to discover that their blood essence and even their armor were being swiftly gnawed away.

“Ah!”

The two screamed in agony, their internal power erupting in a desperate attempt to shake off the Spirit Bugs, unleashing various secret techniques in a frantic manner.

But it was useless; gradually, the screams of the two grew weaker. In just a dozen breaths, the numerous Spirit Bugs completely dissipated, leaving behind two mangled corpses lying there, a sight too gruesome to behold.

“Puh, puh, puh... disgusting! I can’t even be bothered to devour such creatures.”

Little Ant and Little Fire expressed their disdain, and then each approached Qin Chen, handing over a storage ring.

Qin Chen looked at the two insects in surprise. He remembered that in the past, this group of insects would directly devour the enemies' corpses until nothing remained, but unexpectedly, after gaining intelligence, they had developed pickiness.
