Martial Master

Boom! As the sword energy descended, it directly cleaved a massive wound onto the body of the peak Martial God elder from the Xiao family. Yet, he did not die; instead, he was captured by an invisible True Essence hand and instantly pulled in front of Qin Chen. At that moment, Xiao Dongyan had just broken through Qin Chen's Spatial Law, and a circular ring appeared before him. On this ring, fiery spirits flickered, scorching the void and creating black fissures. The ring spun rapidly and shot towards Qin Chen.

"Hehe, you want to save him?" Qin Chen sneered, channeling his sword energy. The towering sword pillar changed direction and ruthlessly slashed down, colliding explosively with the fiery spirit ring.

"Boom!"

Endless explosions reverberated, and a massive black hole appeared in the sky. Incredible spatial particles surged within the black hole, and the destructive power knocked everyone back, causing them to spit blood. Except for the top-tier experts, the other martial artists turned pale and were severely injured.

However, the black slaves and others beside Qin Chen were unscathed, enveloped by an invisible force that kept them safe.

Amidst the explosions, the elder Xiao Dongyan rushed out, his face ashen as he glared at Qin Chen, angrily shouting, "Release Xiao Zhan, or I will tear you to pieces!"

His voice was filled with rage, his eyes bloodshot, and a murderous aura erupted from him, as if he wished to skin Qin Chen alive.

"Hehe, what great power you have, elder of the Xiao family." Qin Chen coldly laughed. At that moment, the peak Martial God expert, Xiao Zhan, was struggling in the air, caught by the True Essence energy that Qin Chen had unleashed. A dignified peak Martial God, he resembled a toad, being dangled in mid-air, struggling futilely, which looked rather comical.

Yet, no one on the field could laugh at this. It was anything but funny that a peak Martial God, especially from the most powerful force in the continent, the Xiao family, was captured in an instant, right before the eyes of the elder Xiao Dongyan.

This intense visual impact caused everyone present to gasp, and the area around the city gate fell into a dead silence, as if plunged into a dark abyss.

The most shaken were Teng Gu and Shu Anhe, their faces pale as they watched Xiao Zhan struggle, their eyes filled with fear, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

As a peak Martial God from the Xiao family, Teng Gu knew just how powerful Xiao Zhan was. Although it was hard to say who was stronger between them, Teng Gu understood that he and Xiao Zhan were fairly close in strength.

Yet, Xiao Zhan had been captured in an instant. Previously, Teng Gu thought that Qin Chen might not be able to capture them when he was in the Thunder Sea, but now he finally understood that it would only take a moment for the opponent to kill him. If not for the intervention of the Extreme Mirror Dan Emperor, it was very likely that Xiao Zhan's fate would mirror his own.

No, he might even be in a worse predicament than Xiao Zhan.

"Elder, this kid possesses incredible strength, disciple..." Teng Gu sent a terrified voice transmission to Teng Huazang, his face devoid of color.

Teng Huazang, at that moment, had no time to consider Teng Gu's emotions, his gaze fixed on Qin Chen, his own shock not any less than Teng Gu's.

Xiao Zhan was still struggling fiercely, but it was clear that this was Qin Chen's intention; otherwise, Xiao Zhan would have been unable to move long ago. Everyone watched as the top elder of the Xiao family, a peak Martial God expert, struggled like a monkey, suffering in apparent pain, which was too striking to behold.

"Kid, if you don't release Xiao Zhan, I will kill your entire family!" Xiao Dongyan roared in a ghastly manner. At this moment, the fiery spirit ring spun frantically before Xiao Zhan, emanating a scorching aura. However, Xiao Dongyan did not dare to act recklessly, knowing that any movement could lead to Xiao Zhan's death.

The Xiao family had already lost too many experts. If Xiao Zhan were to die, the Xiao family's vitality would be severely damaged, and their standing on the continent would plummet.
