Martial Master

“Slash!” He struck down with his sword, the sword light reaching the heavens, and suddenly, an overwhelming sword energy poured down like an ocean, accompanied by a thunderous roar, towards Shangguan Gufeng.

Shangguan Gufeng’s pupils constricted, a strong sense of crisis surged in her heart, her scalp tingled, and her eyes widened as she directly urged the Yuan Shi Bell above her head, booming to protect herself. Buzz! The Yuan Shi Bell erupted with a faint bell sound, a vast amount of true essence swept out, and the hazy bell shadow instantly transformed into a height of over ten zhang, shielding Shangguan Gufeng inside.

“Boom!” The vast sword light collided with the towering bell shadow, an unmatched force, vast as the sea, pouring down. The heavens and earth instantly collapsed, a wave of true essence rippling, surrounding the area in confusion. Shangguan Gufeng was shaken to the point of her body cracking, blood spitting from her mouth, but she held on tightly to the Yuan Shi Bell, struggling to withstand Qin Chen's impact. The bell sound was faint, like an eternal existence.

“Boom!” The terrifying impact became more complex, resonating in all directions. Everyone leaped back a thousand meters, watching in fear. Those lucky enough to survive, such as the Extreme Mirror Dan Emperor, looked at this scene in horror, their hearts trembling. Could this really be the battle power unleashed by a young man?

With Shangguan Xier in front, so formidable, and now Qin Chen, such a young master, the rising tide made the Extreme Mirror Dan Emperor and others feel bitterly disappointed, their hearts filled with a sense of loss.

“Hmph, let’s see how long you can hold on.” Qin Chen sneered coldly, somewhat surprised that Shangguan Gufeng could withstand his attack. This strike contained the power of the old source, and even Shangguan Xier would be injured. Yet, Shangguan Gufeng somehow resisted it with the Yuan Shi Bell. However, Shangguan Gufeng was not Shangguan Xier; Qin Chen did not believe she could hold on forever. The Yuan Shi Bell was an ancient treasure, and each time it was urged, it consumed a large amount of true essence, not endless.

Moreover… Qin Chen's gaze turned cold as he made hand seals with his left hand, and instantly, runes flew out from his palm like butterflies, landing onto the Yuan Shi Bell. Buzz! The bell sound fainted, showing signs of loosening.

“What?” Shangguan Gufeng was terrified to the point of losing her soul. Qin Chen was actually contesting her control over the Yuan Shi Bell. How did he manage that? Shangguan Gufeng's eyes widened, her heart filled with unprecedented shock and anger. The Yuan Shi Bell had clearly been refined by her; even a half-step Holy Son like Shangguan Xier would not dare to forcefully seize control. Yet, Qin Chen was managing to do it.

At that moment, she felt her liver and gallbladder split with fear, her face devoid of color. “Xier, save me!” Shangguan Gufeng could no longer maintain her composure and cried out in terror, her color drained beneath the Yuan Shi Bell.

“Hmph, no one can save you!” Qin Chen's gaze was indifferent as he intensified his contest for control over the Yuan Shi Bell. This item was something he obtained years ago, and he was naturally very familiar with its internal structure and restrictions, even surpassing Shangguan Gufeng in some respects, allowing him to seize control.

“Not good, Aunt is in danger.” Shangguan Xier was crazily suppressing the Devouring Demon Lord, a mix of anger and anxiety surged within her. Given her personality, she would never care about anyone's life, but Shangguan Gufeng was her aunt, and she could not bear to watch her die.

“Demon Spirit, increase the refinement!” “Alright!” The Demon Spirit sat cross-legged, enveloped in overwhelming demonic energy. It was also desperate; the Devouring Demon Lord’s resistance made it extremely strenuous, not daring to hide any strength.

“You despicable people, do you really think this Demon Lord has no way out?” The Devouring Demon Lord roared, feeling the increasingly strong refining power, and it became utterly furious.
