Martial Master

Alright, after dealing with the five, the rest will be easy."

His gaze fell on the Ironback Dark Wolf leader, and Qin Chen murmured to himself. Now that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Earth Level late stage, his strength was far beyond what it was back then. With a single sword strike, how could he possibly fail to kill even a peak Earth Level late-stage Ironback Dark Wolf?

The reason he had only heavily injured the Ironback Dark Wolf leader earlier was to attract other ordinary Ironback Dark Wolves to attack, saving himself some stamina.

Now, having slain five ordinary Ironback Dark Wolves with a single sword, only four remained to deal with Bai Jing and the others, making things much easier.

The previously severely wounded Ironback Dark Wolf leader was now stunned. Seeing Qin Chen staring intently, it let out a low growl and attempted to retreat.

"Want to hide?" With a stride, Qin Chen instantly appeared in front of the Ironback Dark Wolf leader, thrusting the iron sword once more.

The Ironback Dark Wolf leader's cold eyes suddenly shrank, its head tilted as it attempted to dodge Qin Chen's attack.

But it was fast, and Qin Chen's sword was even faster.

Puchi!

As if it had eyes, the iron sword in Qin Chen's hand plunged into the head of the Ironback Dark Wolf leader. He withdrew the long sword, and a spray of blood shot out.

The Ironback Dark Wolf leader's eyes widened in horror, staring at Qin Chen in front of it, its gaze filled with fear, before its life force finally dissipated.

Bai Jing and the others stood there dumbfounded, completely shocked. If even the Ironback Dark Wolf leader couldn't evade a single sword from Qin Chen, just how terrifying was his cultivation?

They had previously thought Qin Chen was weak.

"Next is you guys."

Turning his head, Qin Chen looked at the remaining four ordinary Ironback Dark Wolves and swiftly entered the battlefield.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

With the sound of four blades penetrating flesh, the four ordinary Ironback Dark Wolves let out simultaneous wails before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

"You two are safe now. Take out the blood crystals and retreat a bit. Be careful not to get hurt by the enraged Ironback Dark Wolf King," Qin Chen said as he turned to Bai Jing and Huang Zhan.

The two were in a daze, completely stunned, their eyes wide open as they struggled to comprehend the tremendous shock they had just experienced.

In the span of a brief moment, they had gone from a life-and-death crisis to safety. The rapid change in their circumstances was so swift that they couldn’t react in time.

How long had it been? Including the Ironback Dark Wolf leader, all nine ordinary Ironback Dark Wolves had died at Qin Chen's hands. Even an early-stage Heaven Level martial artist would be unable to achieve such a feat, right?

Could it be that Qin Chen's strength surpassed that of an early-stage Heaven Level martial artist?

Both of them were shocked, unable to calm down.

While they were astonished, Lu Feng was utterly horrified.

Previously, he had been provoking Qin Chen, boasting that Qin Chen's cultivation was inferior to his, thinking him not his opponent.

But now, it was clear that Qin Chen wasn’t inferior; he simply couldn’t be bothered to pay Lu Feng any mind.

"Qin Chen, thank you for your help. Earlier, I..." Huang Zhan’s face turned red with shame. Realizing what had just happened, he spoke apprehensively.

His previous attitude towards Qin Chen had been quite poor, and now that Qin Chen had saved him, he naturally felt immense shame.

"You don’t need to worry about it; we’re all on the same team," Qin Chen smiled, brushing it off.

Saving Huang Zhan was merely a matter of convenience for him, requiring little effort. Moreover, even though the other party's attitude towards him hadn’t been great, at least it hadn’t been as cold and harsh as Lu Feng's.

"Qin Chen, hurry and save Lu Feng and Princess Zi Xun! They can’t hold on much longer!" Bai Jing urged anxiously.

Sure enough, a violent roar erupted nearby.
