Martial Master

Boom!

With a loud bang, the impact hit the sword pillar, instantly sending ripples through the air, causing the sword formation to shake.

Pu Xingchang and the others were also formidable Martial Gods, and their strike was incredibly powerful.

However, Feng Kangan, as the master of the Ancient Sword Manor, was far stronger than them. Even while locking Qin Chen down, he was still able to fend off the attacks from Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang.

"Pu Xingchang, do you also wish to defy me?" Feng Kangan said angrily.

He did not expect that after his attack, two unexpected occurrences would arise. The first was that he couldn't take down Qin Chen in one move, giving the latter a chance to recover. The second was that he didn't anticipate that Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang would dare to stand up for Qin Chen after his assault.

Were they not afraid that he would kill that brat and then deal with them? Feng Kangan was filled with rage. If it weren't for the presence of others here, he would have likely killed both Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang as well. However, because Lu Zi'an was still present, he felt great caution.

Rao Yuange and the others were merely formidable Martial Gods; he didn't take them seriously. But Lu Zi'an was a peak Martial God. Although he was not as powerful as Feng Kangan, if Lu Zi'an was determined to escape, it would be extremely difficult for Feng Kangan to detain him. With Lu Zi'an around, he couldn't recklessly kill Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang.

Feng Kangan understood the terror of the Tian Xun Association and the Xing Zhou Chamber of Commerce; he was not in a position to confront them right now.

Thinking of this, Feng Kangan immediately shouted coldly, "Everyone, don’t be foolish. You and I both know that no life-saving grace is greater than profit. The reason you followed this brat here is likely due to the strange fire on him that can ensure your safety, hence you listened to his arrangements."

"Today, I, Feng, promise that if you can help me kill this brat, I will guarantee not to take the strange fire on him but will instead hand it over to you."

"As for myself, I only wish to know the origin of that scroll. As long as you obtain that strange fire, you need not fear the strange shadows. The difference in strength between being a guest and not fearing the shadows speaks for itself, doesn't it?"

Feng Kangan knew that nothing could compete with profit, so he immediately used the strange fire on Qin Chen to entice Lu Zi'an and the others. As long as Lu Zi'an and the others did not help Qin Chen, after he killed Qin Chen, how the spoils were distributed would still be under his control.

Once Feng Kangan's words were out, Lu Zi'an and Wei Ziyang immediately sprang into action. The two of them had been thoroughly humiliated by Qin Chen before, especially Wei Ziyang, who had almost exhausted his treasures, resulting in a surge of hatred towards Qin Chen.

Buzz!

He raised his hand, and instantly, an array of light appeared, rapidly materializing beside Feng Kangan, shielding him from Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang's attacks.

"Wei Ziyang, what are you doing?" Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang exclaimed angrily.

"What am I doing?" Wei Ziyang's gaze was fierce as he coldly replied, "You all saw how this brat treated me before, right? As the vice head of the Alchemy Pavilion, I was humiliated like that. Now that I have a rare opportunity, what do you think I should do?"

As he spoke, Wei Ziyang began to laugh maniacally.

Rao Yuange furiously retorted, "That's your own doing! Brother Chen saved us before, yet you covet the strange fire on him, repaying kindness with malice. Now, you dare blame Brother Chen for humiliating you? Furthermore, although you tried to seize Brother Chen's strange fire, he repaid your malice with kindness, not only sparing you but also giving you a chance. Do not continue to be obstinate!"

Wei Ziyang scoffed, "Repaying kindness with malice? He only thinks I still have some use. The ones being obstinate are you. Once we obtain the strange fire from this brat, do we still need him?"
