Martial Master

A sky full of blood-colored flowing light descended like a meteor from the heavens, carrying an overwhelming force akin to the destruction of the world. It rushed down and instantly reached above Qin Chen's head, yet Qin Chen had no intention of dodging.

Qin Chen remained still, not because he couldn't escape, but because the over a dozen blood-colored streams of light, capable of fatally injuring an ordinary mid-stage peak Martial Emperor, felt no different than a tickle against him.

Not to mention that he cultivated the Indestructible Holy Body; even just his Spatial Body could negate a significant portion of the attacks. The remaining strikes only caused his armor to crack or at most inflicted a few light wounds.

"Bang bang..."

The dozen or so blood-colored meteor-like streams struck Qin Chen, producing an oddly muffled sound, completely lacking the sharp clang of a powerful impact.

Long Xiu Cheng originally thought that after his attack, Qin Chen would either be dead or heavily injured—reduced to mere ashes. Even if there was something left, it would just be some scrap.

However, when the dazzling blood-colored light struck, his eyes widened in disbelief. As the light dissipated amidst the astonishing rumble, Qin Chen simply brushed off the dust on his clothing or swatted away a fly, looking utterly at ease.

Yet where was the dust on him? Not only was there no dust, but even his clothes didn’t show a wrinkle, nor was a single strand of hair out of place.

In that instant, the scene fell into a dead silence.

The formation master was so shocked that his heart trembled, and he even paused his attack on You Qianxue and the others.

Having witnessed the blood-colored streams that Long Xiu Cheng shot out, he had boasted that if he were even grazed by them, he would undoubtedly be heavily injured. But Qin Chen had effortlessly blocked them without a scratch—was he even human?

Long Xiu Cheng's eyelids twitched. He realized he had underestimated Qin Chen; Qin Chen was even more formidable than he had imagined, or rather, vastly more powerful.

His own attack, even a late-stage peak Martial Emperor might not be able to withstand so easily, yet Qin Chen had effortlessly blocked it. His strength clearly far surpassed Long Xiu Cheng’s.

In just a moment, he came to his senses, cold sweat dripping down his back.

Before he could retreat, Qin Chen sneered, "Thinking you can retreat after launching an attack? Don’t dream..."

Before Qin Chen finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the mysterious rusty sword was summoned. However, he only unleashed a sword energy.

A sword energy as thick as an adult's arm, pitch black as ink, flashed through the void and was about to strike Long Xiu Cheng.

A sense of imminent doom washed over Long Xiu Cheng, and in his panic, he didn’t even manage to retract the giant scissors to block in front of himself. All he knew was that he had to dodge this sword light; although it hadn't yet struck him, he was certain he could not withstand its might.

But in the next moment, he felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He discovered that the surrounding space had turned into a quagmire, slowing his movement.

Long Xiu Cheng was terrified to the point of losing his mind; Qin Chen had actually shattered his spatial barrier. A mid-stage peak Martial Emperor’s spatial barrier was far more formidable than he had imagined. In panic, he could only tilt his head away, and the black sword light crashed down on his shoulder.

"Boom..."

A terrifying sword light fell, directly shattering one of Long Xiu Cheng's shoulders, spraying blood mist as his arm was torn to shreds.

He was sent flying diagonally from the impact and fell hard to the ground. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Long Xiu Cheng scrambled back to his feet, not caring about his severe injuries, and roared, "Qin Shao Xia, I Long Xiu Cheng admit defeat, please spare me..."

"Quick, capture those three women!"

At the same time, Long Xiu Cheng’s furious voice echoed in the formation master’s mind. Long Xiu Cheng's earlier words were clearly meant to distract Qin Chen; in reality, he was urging the formation master to act quickly and use You Qianxue and the others to threaten Qin Chen.
