Martial Master

Not just him, others quickly approached as well. Although some of them had not been injured yet, who knew what would happen next? At this moment, a sudden shelter appeared—who would be foolish enough not to accept it?

Buzz!

The Martial Emperor genius was just about to get closer when countless sword qi swept toward him, forcing him back rapidly.

"You!"

The Martial Emperor genius had an aggrieved and furious expression.

“Everyone, we are now a team and should help each other,” the Martial Emperor genius coldly shouted.

“Help each other?” You Qianxue scoffed. Earlier, Chen Shao was merely affected by the explosions from these insects, yet this guy wanted to kill Chen Shao. She had already shown mercy by not killing him right away, and now letting him enter this realm of swords was simply ridiculous.

“Get lost!” Ji Ruyue directly shouted.

“You…”

The Martial Emperor genius's face turned ashen, and the expressions of others changed slightly.

“If it weren't for us, could you few manage to escape? Don't go too far,” someone hissed.

“Is it us who are going too far, or is it you?” Ji Ruyue smiled coldly. “Moreover, why should we take on more risks? Have we owed you all anything?”

“Alright, everyone, don't argue. How about this: I’ll promise you all, if we find treasures, not only will you get the first choice, but you'll also receive an extra ten percent. How does that sound? Do you all agree?” Shang Wuji, being experienced, knew that creating conflict would benefit no one. Plus, before they entered, no one expected they would need to seek shelter.

While they were indeed a team, they did not come from the same force. At this moment, when one force had the ability to shelter others, the situation felt different—it couldn’t be generalized.

After speaking, Shang Wuji turned to look at the others, believing that everyone would make the right choice.

“An extra ten percent for the first pick is acceptable.”

Yue Zhongkui’s eyes flickered, taking the lead.

“Good, I have no objections!”

“Me too.”

Wang Xingguang and others quickly chimed in; they didn’t dare gamble with their lives in the unknown Black Stone Path.

“Let them in!”

Qin Chen said to Ji Ruyue and You Qianxue; it was still not the time to create conflict.

Ji Ruyue slightly nodded and opened a gap in the realm of swords, allowing everyone to enter.

Buzz!

As soon as everyone entered, the Soul Extinguishing Insects came rushing over, but the realm of swords had already healed, instantly slashing the incoming Soul Extinguishing Insects away.

Maintaining the realm of swords, Ji Ruyue and You Qianxue led everyone to fly forward swiftly.

In fact, her initial refusal to let others in was not for personal gain but rather a principle. They had only met by chance, and while they were taking risks together, how could she allow anyone to simply enter whenever they wished?

At this moment, there could be no retreat; they had to maintain their own strength. Without strength, others would take advantage of them and treat it as a given.

As for angering others, Ji Ruyue did not care at all; with the strength of their team, did they still need to consider the opinions of others?

Protected by the realm of swords, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The numerous Soul Extinguishing Insects could not approach and were instantly slashed away by the emitted sword qi. Even if a few managed to enter the realm of swords occasionally, they would be quickly obliterated.

That Martial Emperor genius in the team coldly watched Qin Chen, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself, “That Qin Chen really doesn't know his place. A pretty boy can actually charm so many people. I wonder how he does it.

Once I have the chance, I will definitely kill him. With my qualifications, once he’s dead, those three will definitely be drawn to me, and then I can directly ascend to the pinnacle of life.”

As the Martial Emperor genius treated his injuries, a cold smile formed at the corner of his mouth.
