Martial Master

“Gu Cang Martial Emperor, you…”

The Ying Mo Martial Emperor stared at him in shock and anger, unable to understand why Gu Cang Martial Emperor wanted to kill him.

Gu Cang Martial Emperor coldly smiled and said, “The one who killed Feng Lei's son is my master!”

Boom!

In the next moment, he unleashed his true essence, instantly shattering Ying Mo Martial Emperor into dust under the gaze of his terrified and disbelieving eyes.

“Your Excellency, we can discuss this. As long as you don’t kill me, I am willing to be your servant…”

On the other side, the Skeleton Elder was blocked by the Skeleton Captain and immediately said in panic.

“Become my servant? Hahaha, someone like you is beneath my notice.” The Skeleton Captain sneered and struck out violently. The already heavily injured Skeleton Elder had no means to resist and was instantly blasted apart in anger, turning into a mist of blood.

The Skeleton Captain took a deep breath, and in an instant, the blood from the two—Skeleton Elder and Ying Mo Martial Emperor—was absorbed into his body like a whale swallowing seawater, leaving not a single drop behind.

The Skeleton Captain exhaled, and his originally broken body visibly healed, quickly returning to its original state, even with a more profound and restrained aura.

“Let’s go, meet the master!”

The Skeleton Captain and Gu Cang Martial Emperor collected all their spoils and swiftly returned to the ruins.

As soon as they entered, a chilling aura rushed toward them, biting cold, and then they saw Qin Chen enveloped in black mist, his eyes red like fire, the cold power radiating outward, threatening to freeze the entire ruin.

“Master!”

The Skeleton Captain was startled; it was his first time seeing Qin Chen in such a state, and he urgently called out.

At this moment, Qin Chen was in a very bad condition, as if possessed by a demon, trapped in the throes of madness.

Ji Ruyue and You Qianxue were also extremely anxious, not knowing what to do. The three of them wanted to approach Qin Chen, but as soon as they did, the icy aura almost froze them in place, their thoughts halting, unable to move.

At a critical moment, the Qinglian Demon Fire surged forth, instantly wrapping around Qin Chen.

The scorching flames engulfed him, and Qin Chen immediately felt a bit clearer, hurriedly beginning to laboriously operate the mysterious incantation he obtained from the Demon Sword Tower.

“Ultimate Sword, reverse yin and yang, sever the heavens, the way of the sword, hold it and have it, rather than let it go; sharpen it, cannot be maintained forever; attain success and retreat, this is the way of the sword…”

Qin Chen recited each word. At first, it was fragmented, but later it grew smoother, and in the end, his heart resonated like a great bell, buzzing loudly, as the aura from the mysterious rusty sword rapidly dissipated.

“Hahaha… One day, I will emerge again, I will come out once more…”

A sinister voice echoed in Qin Chen's mind, like the cries of the damned, and finally, it vanished completely, while the mysterious rusty sword also calmed down, returning to tranquility.

Puff!

Qin Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his breath extremely weak.

“Qin Chen!”

You Qianxue, Ji Ruyue, and Chen Sisi rushed over immediately, reaching Qin Chen's side. You Qianxue quickly picked him up, while Ji Ruyue and Chen Sisi exchanged awkward glances, standing quietly to the side.

“I’m fine!”

Seeing the anxious expressions on everyone’s faces, Qin Chen smiled faintly. Although he was in excruciating pain, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

After killing Feng Yu Lei and extinguishing a strand of Feng Shaoyu's Martial Emperor will, the resentment he had buried deep in his heart for over three hundred years seemed to release a bit, and he felt light, like a weight had been lifted.

But at the same time, he also felt pressure.

He picked up the mysterious rusty sword, his gaze flickering.

In the final moments, it was this mysterious rusty sword that erupted, vanquishing Feng Shaoyu's Martial Emperor will. He hadn’t expected that Feng Shaoyu's will could also transmit across this ancient domain and arrive here.
