Martial Master

“Puff!”

In the void, blood spurted wildly as Lu Zi'an spat out blood, his ribs nearly shattered. If it weren't for him unleashing a secret skill at the last moment, he would have surely been severely injured or even killed by that strike.

“Hiss!”

A sound of countless gasps filled the arena, as all the powerhouses from Tian Lei City looked at Long Ba Tian in shock, their eyes reflecting unprecedented horror.

Is this the strength of the continent's top forces? Is this the ancestor of the Long family?

Previously, when Long Ba Tian fought against Shangguan Gu Feng, both sides were from top-tier forces, resulting in a stalemate that made it impossible for everyone to discern just how terrifying a top powerhouse like Long Ba Tian was.

But now, with Lu Zi'an's confrontation with Long Ba Tian, the people of Tian Lei City suddenly awakened to the genuine terror of Long Ba Tian and others.

This was the vice commander of the Dark Moon, a peak Martial God-level expert. Although Lu Zi'an couldn't be considered the top powerhouse in Tian Lei City, he was still a second-tier figure, just below the president of the Tian Xun Association and the commander of the Dark Moon—more like a quasi-second-tier figure, as there were still stronger experts above him like Feng Kang An, the owner of the Ancient Sword Manor.

However, even such a master, someone who was regarded highly among the martial artists of Tian Lei City, was defeated by a single strike, which was shocking beyond words.

While the powerhouses of Tian Lei City were in disbelief, Shangguan Gu Feng and the others merely sneered, standing there with indifference. Truly foolish. Did they think that just because they were peak Martial Gods, they could ignore the world’s strong?

It has to be said, the Martial God from Tian Lei City who acted just now had decent strength. Even if he was at the third level of the Martial Domain, he was still a local tyrant. However, he made the mistake of offending Long Ba Tian.

They were all figures at the very top of the continent's pyramid. Offending such minor characters was simply asking for death.

“Puff!”

In front of everyone, they watched as Lu Zi'an was sent flying, spitting blood and looking utterly wretched.

At the critical moment, Qin Chen acted. With a swish, he extended his right hand, and an invisible force grasped Lu Zi'an, pulling him down instantly. At the same time, a pill appeared in his hand, which he handed over, saying coldly, “Take this.”

No matter what, Lu Zi'an had stood up for him; he couldn't just ignore it.

As Lu Zi'an felt a mixture of anxiety and gratitude, he quickly swallowed the pill and said emotionally, “Thank you, Young Master Chen.” He had now changed his form of address, upgrading from 'Chen Brother' to 'Young Master Chen,' clearly indicating that Qin Chen's status in his heart had risen significantly.

“No need for formalities.” Qin Chen waved his hand, but his expression turned grim.

“Eh! Reviving Spring Pill!”

Beside them, the Extreme Mirror Alchemist exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the pill Qin Chen had taken out. This was a level nine healing pill and one of the better ones among level nine healing pills. He remembered that there seemed to be no branch of the Alchemy Pavilion in Tian Lei City; could it be that the alchemical forces in Tian Lei City had such strength?

“Hmph, ignorant of death! I didn't expect you to be weak in strength but swift in escaping. Very well, since you managed to block my strike, I won't kill you... for now.”

Long Ba Tian said arrogantly with his hands behind his back, not pressing further but instead coldly taunting Qin Chen, “Boy, don't you want to answer my question honestly?”

He looked down from above, believing that Qin Chen would certainly not dare to defy him.

“Fool!”

Qin Chen spat out two words.

What? Long Ba Tian thought he had misheard, his face filled with disbelief. Others looked equally shocked.

What the hell, did Young Master Chen lose his mind?

“I said you're a fool; didn’t you hear me?” Qin Chen coldly replied.
