Martial Master

Only the Ziyun Fairy was an exception, her gaze flickering.

Compared to Xudong Sheng, Qin Chen seemed rough, yet he stirred her heart even more, for she was a witness to Qin Chen's powerful rise, sweeping through Daoshan, and now, he was the top genius challenging the outsiders of the Ji family.

Qin Chen scoffed, his gaze sweeping over, "Trash, in at most a hundred moves, I’ll knock you down."

"Arrogant!" Xudong Sheng roared, his body shaking as he erupted forward, charging at Qin Chen. The bloodline sun above his head suddenly burst forth with dazzling flames, his battle knife raised, transforming into an endless river of flame that cleaved down.

Boom!

The heavens and the earth were shrouded in an endless sea of fire. The spectators around felt as though they were enveloped in red, a scorching aura spreading, causing everyone to retreat in shock, unable to see anything clearly.

This was a genius nearing the peak of the initial Martial God realm unleashing his full power. Naturally, few could see clearly beneath the Martial God level; only the Martial God elders of the Ji family could see Xudong Sheng transformed into a streak of fiery light, slicing towards Qin Chen.

Qin Chen grinned, suddenly thrusting his spear.

Boom, as he thrust, the void was instantly pierced, creating countless ripples; the scene was bizarre, could space actually form wrinkles?

His physical strength was astonishing, a seventh level Indestructible Holy Body, with power and defense comparable to a late-stage Martial God powerhouse. After this thrust, however, he arrived before Xudong Sheng first.

Xudong Sheng was taken aback. Without thinking, he condensed his true essence, forming a flame armor before him to meet Qin Chen's attack.

How could it be so fast?

He shouted in his heart; such a thrust speed defied logic.

Bang!

The tip of Qin Chen's spear slammed into the flame armor, and with a puff, the layers of armor instantly shattered. The long spear drove straight in, continuing to pound towards Xudong Sheng's chest.

What!

Seeing this scene, Ji Daoyuan, Ji Daoling, and others gasped in silence. Their weapons were not significantly different, Xudong Sheng’s cultivation was higher, and his strength should have been greater; he should have gained the upper hand immediately.

But now?

Xudong Sheng's battle knife hadn’t even struck Qin Chen, and Qin Chen's spear was already about to pierce through Xudong Sheng's body; how could this be possible!

Moreover, Qin Chen's speed was too fast, as if he had arrived ahead of time. How could the speed of a half-step Martial God be faster than that of an initial Martial God?

This completely defied logic!

If it were someone else, they might not have had time to dodge and would have suffered the loss immediately. But Xudong Sheng was a peerless genius, and he erupted forth with countless fiery streams from his body, striking towards the tip of Qin Chen's spear.

His battle knife was ferocious, slashing down with immense force, showing no sign of retreat or defense.

This was a clever move that could not only resolve his own peril but also inflict serious damage on Qin Chen. Who let the other party dare to plunge in with just a "gun"?

Xudong Sheng prided himself on his cultivation, believing he could completely block Qin Chen's thrust; unlike Qin Chen, who was just a half-step Martial God, was bound to be heavily injured or even become a cripple after such a blow.

Qin Chen laughed heartily, his spear enveloped in true essence, showing no signs of withdrawing. With a thrust, he pierced out, colliding with the countless fiery streams.

Boom!

A terrifying roar echoed across heaven and earth, the shadow and true essence on the black spear were wildly diminished, yet it ultimately broke through the encirclement, piercing through Xudong Sheng's armor with a bang. Blood sprayed out as a large hole was made in Xudong Sheng’s chest.

But at the same time, Xudong Sheng's blade light struck Qin Chen, rumbling endlessly, engulfing him completely in flames.

Amidst the roar, Xudong Sheng was knocked back over a hundred feet, the great sun above dimming, allowing the vision of the crowd to restore.
