Martial Master

Swish! Swish! Swish! Countless iron chains shot out like venomous snakes, lunging towards everyone in the arena. "Quick, retreat!" the Extreme Mirror Dan Emperor roared, and a group of people hastily drew back. Qin Chen and Fu Qiankun, disregarding their fight with Long Batian, quickly shrank back as well. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft… Blood splattered everywhere. The speed of these iron chains was too fast; even though Qin Chen and the others dodged in time, many martial artists were unable to escape, and screams of agony echoed continuously, filling the air with chilling cries resembling hell itself. What was originally a somewhat eerie main hall instantly transformed into a hell on earth.

"Ah!" The piercing screams resounded as powerful figures were pierced by these agile iron chains, instantly crying out in pain, their vital blood rapidly draining away, leaving them on the brink of death, turning into human husks. Yet they did not die, only gasping for their last breath, staring wide-eyed with bloodshot eyes at Qin Chen and the others, their mouths opening and closing painfully as they sought help.

The scene was too brutal; in an instant, over a hundred martial artists were pierced by the chains, suspended in mid-air, their limbs stiff, bodies shriveled, and their pained gazes fixed on Qin Chen and his group, their eyes shining with a desperate longing. "Kill... kill me..." Several Martial Gods cried out hoarsely, their voices like buzzing mosquitoes, unable to bear the torment, pleading for others to end their lives. Those who could become Martial Gods had unwavering wills, each with a steely resolve, yet after being pierced by these chains, they were left with no color, begging for death in agony.

"Lou Zimo, what on earth is happening?" the Extreme Mirror Dan Emperor questioned angrily. "How would I know?" Lou Zimo's face turned ashen. "Then what do we do now?" Everyone's gaze was fixated on the iron chains sweeping through the air, their expressions a mix of shock and anger. This was not a palace; it was a hall of death.

"Do we have any other choice?" Qin Chen snorted coldly, glancing at the entrance where everyone had come from. Advance? There was no path forward; how could they move ahead? Retreat? The escape route was already blocked; did they have any way to retreat?

"Hmph, then let’s break through these chains; I don't believe these mere chains can stop us," Long Batian coldly declared. Just as his words fell, a thick iron chain shot towards him like lightning. "Get lost!" Long Batian bellowed, swinging his fists, striking the chain with a thunderous boom, producing a terrifying shockwave. But it was futile; the chain flickered with strange runes, forming a layer of light membrane every time Long Batian's fist struck, completely defending against his overwhelming might.

It was as if these chains possessed sentient awareness; a peak Martial God was unleashing his true essence in attack, yet they could completely withstand Long Batian's assault. Moreover, several more chains swept towards him, seemingly attracted by the essence blood emanating from Long Batian, surrounding him and putting him in peril.

"I don't believe it; they are just a few small chains. Break for me!" Long Batian erupted, his dragon aura soaring, and he roared as the illusion of a true dragon surged from his body, causing his right chest to bulge violently, revealing a throbbing heart! This heart pulsated with magnificent true dragon essence blood, causing his combat power to surge dramatically in an instant. This was his transformation dragon skill, which he had not used during his earlier fight with Fu Qiankun.

Long Batian seemed to truly become a true dragon; his body was like a savage beast, the dragon aura exploding, and his power was fully unleashed, terrifying beyond measure. Clink, clink, clink—the light membrane on the chains shattered, bursting into pieces from Long Batian's strike. However, more chains swirled around him like spiritual snakes, tightly ensnaring Long Batian, who was trapped amidst countless chains, struggling like a cornered beast.
