Martial Master

“Fu Qiankun, back in the day, you were no match for this palace. Now, having been trapped for so many years and with your injuries yet to heal, how could you possibly harm me? It’s better that you didn’t show up; at least you could still cling to life. I never thought you would seek your own destruction. Very well, today I shall completely end you, so that you, once the number one, will vanish without a trace.” Shangguan Xi'er's gaze was indifferent, and a green aura flowed into her arm, turning it an incredibly vibrant green.

With a gentle wave of her hand, a circular blue light brightened and pressed towards Fu Qiankun layer by layer. Before the light even landed, an astonishing pressure had already swept over, shocking everyone on the battlefield, their hearts racing in fear. “Everyone retreat quickly!” Ji Jing Dan Di trembled all over and suddenly shouted. He flew up first, and in a few flashes, he had already reached the edge of the barrier. The others still hadn't reacted when the attacks from Fu Qiankun and Shangguan Xi'er had already collided.

“Boom!” With the booming sound falling, the void in the hall trembled violently, and countless runes instantly floated up, shaking in all directions. The void continuously wrinkled and cracked, with strong shockwaves sweeping outward, immense power crashing in like surging waves, forming a towering tsunami. “Pfft…” Under this pressure, everyone felt their blood surge, their bodies nearly annihilated! A few who had already been severely injured and had barely survived were directly shaken to the point of spitting blood, dying on the spot.

“Pfft!” In the explosion, no one could withstand it; Fu Qiankun's body trembled wildly, his bloodline forbidden technique twisted, and then with a bang, he was sent flying, blood spewing from his mouth, and the sound of bones fracturing echoed within him as he sustained serious injuries. Fu Qiankun had actually been defeated? Everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts, as if all hope had vanished, their courage dissipating completely, seeing no light ahead. Shangguan Xi'er was too strong; even Fu Qiankun had fallen—who among them could contend with her?

“Fu Qiankun, I have said long ago that your era has passed. Opposing me is seeking death, and since it is so, I shall send you to hell.” Shangguan Xi'er walked out from the explosion. Her gaze was cold, ethereal as if she was an immortal. Under Fu Qiankun’s full-force strike, her face paled and she suffered some injuries, but compared to Fu Qiankun, she was in much better shape. Her slender hand reached out, aiming for Fu Qiankun's head to slay him.

“Master!” Qiu Puchun cried out in alarm, shouting desperately. “Hahaha.” Fu Qiankun, extremely disheveled and bleeding from his mouth, surprisingly laughed heartily at this moment: “Shangguan Xi'er, my era has indeed passed, but now is a new era, and you… may not truly be the first.” Shangguan Xi'er frowned: “What do you mean?”

“Meaning this…” A cold voice rang out, and with a hum, a figure suddenly appeared beside Shangguan Xi'er, wielding a sharp sword. With a flash of lightning, he struck at Shangguan Xi'er while shouting, “Shangguan Xi'er, pay with your life!”

Boom! This sword was incredibly fast, like lightning or mist, grand and ethereal, striking from an unknown direction, seemingly formless yet suddenly lunging toward Shangguan Xi'er. “It’s Qin Chen!” “Why is it him?” “When did he get close to Shangguan Xi'er?” Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their eyes. Their attention had been completely captivated by Fu Qiankun and Shangguan Xi'er, and no one expected that Qin Chen had already reached Shangguan Xi'er’s side and launched a fierce attack.

“Kill!” Qin Chen roared, darting forward like lightning. He had let Fu Qiankun act first to seize this opportunity, and having borrowed the power of Lao Yuan, he unleashed a secret technique, hiding within the void, then striking out again, to the extent that Shangguan Xi'er was completely unaware of his arrival. By the time she reacted, Qin Chen had already made his move.
