Martial Master

Boom!

In an instant, the two engaged in a fierce battle, and the entire ruins were filled with the power of thunder and lightning.

One must say, Feng Yu Lei was truly the most top-notch genius Qin Chen had ever seen. Although he was only a peak initial stage Martial Emperor, in terms of strength, he was even more terrifying than Elder Gu Ying of the Gu Fang Sect, with astonishing power.

Especially with his Heavenly Thunder Body combined with the ancient imperial weapon, the Heavenly Thunder Sword, every sword strike unleashed a power capable of annihilating everything—a surge of thunderous might.

This kind of power was extraordinarily unique, enough to injure a late-stage Martial Emperor. This was the foundation of his arrogance.

In terms of talent, he was not much inferior to geniuses like Ji Ru Yue.

However, the destructive power created when his natural Thunder Body combined with the Heavenly Thunder Sword was somewhat stronger than the power exhibited by Ji Ru Yue's Heavenly Sword Bloodline and the Feng Jue Sword.

The strength of geniuses like Ji Ru Yue relied more on their cultivation level, while Feng Yu Lei's strength leaned more towards innate talent.

Boom!

As the two battled, each strike erupted with lightning, the heavens and earth changed color, the sun and moon lost their brilliance, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse, causing the other Martial Emperors of the Xuan Yuan Empire watching the battle formation to change their expressions dramatically.

Is such a terrifying attack truly unleashed by an initial-stage Martial Emperor?

Most of them were peak mid-stage Martial Emperors, with the weakest among them also being a mid-stage Martial Emperor. Yet, in the face of the confrontation between Qin Chen and Feng Yu Lei, they trembled and did not dare to approach.

"This brat, it's only been a year, and his strength has improved so much?" Ji Ru Yue was equally shocked as she looked at Qin Chen, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"Hmph, it seems Qian Xue has a good eye. Considering he came to rescue me this time, I should refrain from scolding him too much in front of Qian Xue next time," Ji Ru Yue said, worried for Qin Chen's safety, yet still huffing with annoyance. Chen Si Si tightly clenched her fists, feeling both angry and frustrated about Qin Chen's indifference towards her. However, she was also extremely worried—this concern was not because she feared danger if Qin Chen was defeated, but a pure worry for Qin Chen himself.

She didn’t even know why she felt this way, but whenever she thought of Qin Chen’s nonchalant smile towards her, she felt a surge of frustration.

The two of them, in this manner, anxiously worried while hastily healing themselves to be able to assist Qin Chen.

"Boom!"

On another side, the Skeleton Captain faced the combined attacks of the Skull Ghost Elder and the Fierce Ink Martial Emperor without any fear.

"Jie jie jie, you two joining forces to deal with me, you really overestimate me. But the stronger you are, the more I like it, jie jie jie."

The stronger the Skull Ghost Elder and Fierce Ink Martial Emperor became, the more cultivation he would gain after devouring them. How could he not be excited?

"Hmph, stop pretending to be mysterious." The Skull Ghost Elder angrily shouted. He practiced the demonic techniques of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, which were notorious for their overwhelming power. The skull staff in his hand emitted a ghastly aura, capable of devouring the blood of martial artists and confusing their souls.

Normal Martial Emperors would be extremely fearful of him, but the black-clad figure before him seemed to also be practicing demonic techniques, releasing a terrifying demonic aura that even made him feel a hint of dread, causing inner dissatisfaction.

"Die!" The Skull Ghost Elder waved his right hand, and countless black demonic energies surged forth. Among them, numerous distorted human faces screamed and shrieked, producing sounds of ghostly wails. These were the strong warriors he had killed before, their souls refined in his true treasure, forever unable to be reborn.
