Martial Master

“Puff!” The man’s eyes widened in horror as he roared in anger, wanting to quickly retreat in fear, but it was already too late. With a flash, the sword light swept across his throat, and a well-formed head flew into the sky, blood splattering everywhere.

With one sword strike, he killed a peak mid-level Martial Emperor. Qin Chen immediately activated his storage ring, absorbing eight hundred blood crystals in an instant. At this moment, the attacks from the other two peak mid-level Martial Emperors from the Gu Fang Sect were barely arriving.

Qin Chen sneered, facing their attacks without dodging or evading.

Boom! Boom!

Two astonishing booming sounds erupted, and Qin Chen was enveloped by endless brilliance. The two peak mid-level Martial Emperors from the Gu Fang Sect instantly showed expressions of ecstasy. However, before their smiles could fade, they saw a figure burst out from the smoke.

It was Qin Chen.

At this moment, Qin Chen was completely unharmed, not even a tear on his clothes, looking as if nothing had happened.

The two were so frightened that they nearly lost their minds. How could this be possible? Although they weren't late-stage Martial Emperors, as elite talents, their strength was by no means as simple as their cultivation level suggested.

With their full-power strike, even an ordinary late-stage Martial Emperor would be severely injured, yet Qin Chen was directly hit and suffered no injuries at all. Was this a joke?

The two were stunned, but Qin Chen didn't give them a chance to recover. With a mysterious rusty sword, he slashed, and two invisible sword lights flashed in the void.

Puff! Puff!

In the next moment, two blood arrows soared into the sky as these two peak mid-level Martial Emperors were cut in half, their heads separated from their bodies.

All of this happened in an instant; three disciples of the Gu Fang Sect had already died at Qin Chen's hands.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

The four disciples from the Gui Yuan Sect, originally charging towards Qin Chen, were stunned and stopped in their tracks, retreating frantically. Qin Chen did not pursue; he simply coldly watched everything unfold.

“Damn brat, you killed my Gu Fang Sect disciples; I will make you pay,” Wei Xingguang shouted in extreme anger as he caught sight of everything, but he did not turn around. Instead, he continued to reach for the Rule Fruit. For him, obtaining the Rule Fruit was far more important than avenging the three Gu Fang Sect disciples.

At this moment, his and Yue Zhongkui's hands were about to touch the Rule Fruit. Suddenly, a buzzing sound echoed, and an invisible force spread across the void. The Rule Fruit, which had been right in front of them, seemingly vanished into thin air, leaving them grasping at nothing.

“What?”

The two were shocked and tried to strike again. However, the Rule Fruit emanated waves of Rule power, and regardless of how they attacked, they could never touch it.

“Boom!”

At this moment, Shang Wuji arrived and slapped towards the two, forcing them back a few steps.

Whoosh!

Simultaneously, a black figure flashed, the Skeleton Captain, after collecting some high-quality true stones, also arrived beside the two, snorting coldly and throwing a punch.

With a snap, an astonishing punch force swept through the void, instantly sending Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui flying back hundreds of meters, crashing heavily against a nearby wall.

“Hmph, daring to forcibly seize the Rule Fruit, what great courage you two have,” the Skeleton Captain coldly said. He reached out, and with a hum, his palm casually grasped the Rule Fruit and put it away.

“What?”

Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui couldn't accept this. They had worked hard and exhausted their efforts to be the first to act, yet they could not obtain the Rule Fruit. In contrast, this black-clad enforcer had casually taken it away, which was extremely demoralizing for the two.

“How did you do that?”

The two asked tremblingly, filled with shock and anger. “Hehe, the Rule Fruit contains Rule power; it is not something that can be easily obtained. To take the Rule Fruit, one must confront it with Rule power to seize it. If you two forcefully tried to grab it, of course, you would return empty-handed,” Qin Chen laughed from a distance, his face filled with mockery.
