Martial Master

According to reason, this was definitely a good opportunity to kill and capture Mu Cangwu, but Qin Chen ignored it. His gaze flickered, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of the grave. He urged the Han Yue Ancient Sword, and endless sword energy transformed into a towering sword light, which fiercely slashed down.

"It's time to come out after hiding for so long," Qin Chen shouted sharply.

Boom! The grave exploded, revealing a rotting skeletal remains beneath. The skeleton was enormous, about three meters tall, and exuded an overwhelming demonic aura.

"Rumble!" The grave burst open, and the skeleton suddenly soared into the sky. In its hollow eyes, two cold, dark flames surged, fixating on Qin Chen.

"Jie jie jie, you actually discovered me, how has this human brat become so strong?" The skeleton laughed wildly, making a piercing sound that echoed in Qin Chen's ears, causing him to feel a slight dizziness.

"Demon Tribe!" Qin Chen stared at the being coldly, snorting. He could clearly sense the aura of the Demon Tribe from this skeleton; it was evident that this skeleton belonged to a member of the Demon Tribe. Moreover, the aura it emanated was extremely ancient, somewhat similar to Mo Ka La, clearly from a time long ago when it had already been asleep here.

"Eh, you actually know that I am from the Demon Tribe? Kid, who exactly are you?" The skeleton looked at Qin Chen in surprise, frowning as it spoke.

"The one who should be asking is me. What exactly is this place? Could it be a stronghold of your Demon Tribe from ancient times? And what happened to Mu Cangwu?" Qin Chen coldly huffed.

"Jie jie jie, at this point, you still have time to think about these things. You should be considering your own life and death, right? First, answer a few of my questions. If you make me happy, perhaps I can leave you with a whole corpse." The skeleton stopped its wild laughter and coldly looked at Qin Chen, though its cold smile sounded somewhat grating.

"How did you get through that cliff to come here? With just this flame, it shouldn't be possible, right?" The skeleton asked suspiciously. It was clear that it understood that the Qinglian Demon Fire could prevent the demonic aura from the abyss from corroding over, but it couldn’t defend against the invasion of illusions.

"First, tell me what I want to know. Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I'll answer your questions." Qin Chen replied with a cold smile.

"No need for that. Once I control you, I will know all the answers," the skeleton's gaze turned cold, and a surge of power erupted from within it. The surrounding space trembled, becoming somewhat hazy.

Its body swelled more than half, the decaying aura vanished, and its bones were immediately covered with fluffy hair. Flesh even appeared on its face, but it was rotting flesh, making it look extremely ugly, while its ears elongated and rose up. A powerful demonic aura whirled around its body, and the faint demonic power almost became tangible, making the space become unsteady, rotating in a spiral direction.

"Hmm? This is the body of a Blood Beast; you have taken over a Blood Beast?" Qin Chen furrowed his brows as he looked at the skeleton before him. He initially thought it was some form of the Demon Tribe, but now he realized it was merely the corpse of a Blood Beast that had been seized by this member of the Demon Tribe. What kind of situation led this Demon Tribe member to want to take over a Blood Beast?

"Jie jie jie, good eyesight, bend the knee to me."

Bang! The space where the skeleton was located suddenly shook, and its entire body vanished, leaving behind a pitch-black void with wisps of dark demonic power emitting from it.

"Rumble!" In the next moment, a loud explosion erupted above Qin Chen's head, and the pitch-black night began to swirl like clouds, from which a furry fist emerged.

Where the fist fell, the entire space twisted under that rotational force, an indescribable power descended like a meteor crashing to the ground, as if the entire sky had collapsed. Qin Chen's expression changed, revealing a look of horror. He was well aware of the strength of the Demon Tribe; typically, upon awakening, they wouldn't recover much power. For instance, the previously awakened Yongye and Chiyan were high-tier members of the Demon Tribe, but when they first awakened, their cultivation was only at the Martial King level.
