Martial Master

The round shield's block immediately provided the bandit leader an opportunity to escape. His figure flickered, and he instantly vanished into the void, attempting to escape into the chaotic void currents. At this moment, he had completely lost the courage to confront Qin Chen. Although Qin Chen's aura only revealed the early peak of the ninth tier, the mere display of the Azure Lotus Demonic Flame was enough to swallow him, leaving him without the courage to resist.

Leave?

Qin Chen sneered, raised his hand to retract the Azure Lotus Demonic Flame, and then stepped forward. It seemed as though he crossed an infinite distance in an instant, arriving right in front of the bandit leader. With a thud, the bandit leader attempted to flee, but he didn't expect Qin Chen to appear before him in a blink of an eye. He crashed into Qin Chen, feeling as though he had hit an immovable mountain, dizzy and dazed, bouncing away.

It was only then he realized Qin Chen had already arrived in front of him. Shock and terror filled his heart, unable to believe what he was seeing. Qin Chen, who had been far behind him moments ago, had appeared in front of him in an instant. What kind of speed was this?

But he couldn't afford to remain shocked. After being knocked back by Qin Chen, a dark ring appeared in his hand, emitting a buzzing sound as soon as it emerged. It tore through the void and slashed towards Qin Chen.

Boom!

A dim, dark shadow of a ring, stretching for hundreds of feet, swept down. Countless killing intent shadows layered like void blades, completely sealing off the space around Qin Chen.

The bandit leader was ruthless and thrilled. Qin Chen had actually retracted the Azure Heavenly Flame. This kid was simply too foolish. Did he think he could handle him with just the cultivation of an early peak Martial God?

If Qin Chen had continued to use the Azure Lotus Demonic Flame, he might have been wary, but since Qin Chen had withdrawn it, what better opportunity to kill the kid and seize the heavenly flame from him? It would definitely enhance his strength.

In his wild joy, the bandit leader became exceedingly vicious. A glaring flame appeared above his head, the power of his flame bloodline, instantly pushing his combat strength to the extreme, all of which infused into the dark ring in his hand.

Immediately, an endless gray murderous intent enveloped Qin Chen.

"Hahaha, you idiot! Trying to show off in front of me, once I kill you, all your treasures will be mine, Gray Flame Martial God. Rest assured, I'll take good care of that mysterious heavenly flame."

Initially worried that Qin Chen might have some terrifying means, the bandit leader relaxed completely upon seeing his gray light fully envelop Qin Chen with no reaction from him.

Countless gray, scorching killing lights, like layers of void murder weapons, instantly engulfed Qin Chen.

"Heh, I bet this kid is dead for sure. Just an early peak Martial God showing off in front of me with a few treasures, truly an idiot," the bandit leader sneered, looking towards the void murder light, eager to see his spoils. However, his eyes widened in shock.

From the endless gray murderous light, a figure slowly walked out. Emerging from the multitude of killing intentions, the slashing lights from the dark ring failed to harm him in the slightest, as if merely a gentle breeze brushed past.

How was this possible?

Such a fierce strike, forget about an early peak Martial God, even a mid-peak, no, even a late Martial God giant couldn't just stand there, allowing him to attack without getting harmed.

But no matter how unbelievable it was, the scene before his eyes left the bandit leader utterly shocked, his body hair standing on end, nearly fainting on the spot.

"Interesting, this gray killing light contains spatial killing power, with a hint of killing intent, merging slightly with the flame rule, barely capable of injuring a general giant Martial God," Qin Chen remarked as he walked out of the gray light. He could have dodged the killing intent but chose to experience it firsthand due to its intriguing nature.
