Martial Master

Boom!

In order to survive, everyone went mad, unleashing their strongest cultivation. Each person displayed their abilities to the fullest.

At this moment, everyone's style was exposed.

Shang Wuji's attack methods were simple and unadorned; they weren't grand or magnificent, but they were incredibly effective, just right without wasting an ounce of energy. With a flurry of hand movements, the insect beasts' puppets were sent flying, demonstrating effortless dexterity.

Wei Xingguang's experience was no less than Shang Wuji's. The ancient battle knife in his hand, made of unknown material, was heavy and blunt, yet as he swung it with a seeming slowness that masked its speed, the insect beast puppets to either side were sliced away, leaving behind various wounds, with shattered stones flying everywhere.

Yue Zhongkui seemed unremarkable, but he was equally strong. His internal power was surprisingly solid, and his steps were steady, using force to counter force.

Among the remaining mid-phase peak Martial Emperors, there were a few prodigies. Although their cultivation didn't reach the late-phase Martial Emperor realm, their strength was not lacking. With each strike, insect beast puppets were cleaved apart.

The most eye-catching among them was a cold young man, also a swordsman. His sword speed was exceptional, emphasizing speed above all else. The insect beast puppets charging at him were sent flying by waves of sword energy, disoriented and dazed.

However, this was only a part of the scene. Many mid-phase Martial Emperors were surrounded by a multitude of insect beast puppets, unable to resist, with wounds frequently appearing on their bodies, filled with terror.

Qin Chen's group walked at the back of the team, while the Skeleton Helmsman stayed at the rear.

With the strength of their five-member group, they were not concerned about these insect beast puppets at all. In such a large crowd, Qin Chen's group naturally did not reveal too much.

Clang!

Ji Ruyue and You Qianxue unleashed their sword energy, their swords moving in a seemingly slow yet quick manner. Each swing was perfectly timed, precisely as the insect beast puppets lunged to attack, making it appear as if the puppets were voluntarily offering themselves for them to strike down, proceeding in an organized and pleasing manner.

As for Chen Sisi, the magic technique from the Illusion Demon Sect she practiced should be ineffective against puppets. Yet, upon actual use, these insect beast puppets surprisingly showed flickering eyes, swaying as if they were confused.

"This..."

Qin Chen was astonished; Chen Sisi's innate charm was unexpectedly effective against these insect beast puppets, truly beyond his expectations.

Charm arts, while not limited by race or cultivation, should not work on these insect beasts, especially since they were not real beasts but merely insect beast puppets. The fact they could be bewitched was quite frightening.

The three of them frequently attacked, giving no chance for the surrounding insect beast puppets to approach. Meanwhile, the Skeleton Helmsman behind them held the line, sending insect beast puppets flying with each wave of his hand. As a result, Qin Chen, positioned among these four, found himself without much to do and felt quite at ease.

"Damn, this pretty boy."

Many proud Martial Emperors were left fuming upon seeing this scene. They had initially wanted to take this opportunity to protect Ji Ruyue and the others, hoping the three would look at them differently and display their prowess. Yet surprisingly, the three not only did not need help but were instead protecting that commoner from the Four-Domains.

In an instant, their spirits were crushed.

Comparing people truly made one furious.

Qin Chen strolled leisurely through the corridor. Since he didn't need to exert himself much, he had the chance to observe his surroundings. While walking, he stared at the insect beast puppets, but as he watched, his brows furrowed. He had indeed noticed some clues.

These insect beast puppets were incredibly formidable, each equivalent to a late-phase Martial Emperor. Logically, without their full strength revealed, their group should have suffered heavy losses.
