Martial Master

Qin Chen couldn't be bothered to waste words and once again urged the Fan Tian Yin to smash down.

"What exactly is this true treasure?" Gu Cang Martial Emperor's eyes glimmered with shock and anger, his gaze serious, yet there was also a hint of joy and jealousy.

The treasures on Qin Chen were far too many; this large seal was definitely another treasure, and at least a top-tier imperial grade true treasure. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to injure his Geng Jin Shield.

It was a treasure he didn't even possess, yet a mere early-stage Martial Emperor from the lower four domains owned it, making it difficult for him, a powerful figure of the Xuanyuan Empire, to maintain his psychological balance.

But it didn't matter; as long as he captured Qin Chen, he would naturally get the secrets he desired, and the treasure weapons and true treasures would be at his fingertips.

"Hahaha, you deliberately lured this Emperor here, probably thinking you still have a trump card to kill me, right? Ridiculous! This Emperor has traversed the Martial Domain for so many years, how could a mere commoner like you deal with me?"

Gu Cang Martial Emperor moved, his golden hand resembling a mountain.

Qin Chen didn't respond and slashed out with his sword, the sword energy soaring into the sky.

Clang!

The golden shield blocked in front, but this time, a new sword mark appeared on it.

Qin Chen paid it no mind and continued his assault.

This time, he unleashed the Ultimate Killing Sword, a terrifying sword energy sweeping across the heavens and earth, as if doomsday were approaching.

Puff puff puff puff…

Countless sword energies enveloped Gu Cang Martial Emperor like a torrential storm.

"Trivial techniques."

Gu Cang Martial Emperor roared, and with a boom, the true essence within him ignited, the golden aura surging, extinguishing all of Qin Chen's sword energies.

Suddenly, several blood flowers erupted from his body, leaving sword marks that almost severed him in two.

"What?"

He was taken aback, five streaks of sword light flashed past him. It wasn't mere sword energy, but solid entities.

Buzz…

Five sword pellets floated in front of Qin Chen, having been mixed among the myriad sword energies earlier.

"Damn it." Gu Cang Martial Emperor trembled with rage; luckily, he reacted in time, or else that earlier strike would have caused him significant loss.

"Kill!"

He bellowed and charged again.

Blood-red lights appeared around his body, forming strange runes, and his combat strength surged more than doubled in an instant.

He was furious and determined to kill Qin Chen.

"Hm? Blood Rune Transmutation Technique?"

Qin Chen's eyes narrowed, gritting his teeth as he spoke, his gaze suddenly turning extremely cold.

This technique utilized one's own blood essence to form runic power, temporarily enhancing the martial artist's cultivation.

Compared to some devilish techniques and elixirs that activated potential, the benefit of this technique was that it rarely had side effects after being used, causing no damage to one's own strength, only a momentary weakness.

Moreover, this technique was created by Qin Chen himself years ago and passed on to Feng Shaoyu. He never expected that Gu Cang Martial Emperor would also possess it, and the anger in his heart was understandable.

"Kid, you have some insight; this technique is indeed the Blood Rune Transmutation Technique, a national secret of our Xuanyuan Empire. I expended great effort to gain the opportunity to study it. Today, you shall pay with your life."

He shouted angrily and charged fiercely, his overwhelming blood aura combined with golden light, transforming into a vast sea of blood.

"Is that so? A national secret, how laughable!"

Qin Chen's gaze grew even colder; the mysterious rusted sword was urged to its peak, and with a roar, lightning erupted, accompanied by terrifying thunderous power, unleashing dozens or even hundreds of strikes upon Gu Cang Martial Emperor in an instant.

Puff puff puff puff…

Sword light struck Gu Cang Martial Emperor, who, however, remained unfazed and instead let out a cold laugh: "Useless, once the Blood Rune Transmutation Technique is activated, not only will the attacking power increase by more than double, but the defensive power enhancement far exceeds the attacking power. Unless you can break this blood rune, you won't even be able to breach this Emperor's defense!"
