Martial Master

“Want to kill Shangguan Gufeng, have you asked me?”

Qin Chen naturally could not allow Shangguan Xier to succeed. He urged the Demon Sword and forcefully struck, causing a loud explosion as the Demon Sword collided with the Diamond Bracelet. Qin Chen immediately felt a tremendous force surge toward him, sending him flying.

However, Shangguan Xier also lost the opportunity to deal with Shangguan Gufeng.

“Master!”

“Master!”

Mo Yuanbai and Gu Zunren revealed nervous expressions, both charging at Shangguan Xier.

“Get lost!”

Shangguan Xier coldly shouted, her gaze icy. Blood-red light erupted from her, and both Mo Yuanbai and Gu Zunren let out muffled groans, instantly being sent flying, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

If it weren't for the protective treasures they both had, a single strike like that could have severely injured them and rendered them combat ineffective.

“What powerful strength! Master, Shangguan Xier's power has nearly stepped into the Holy Realm.”

Gu Zunren said in shock. He had once been a master of the Holy Realm in ancient times and naturally understood what the Holy Realm's power entailed. Shangguan Xier's current strength was already close to that of a true Holy Realm master. What she lacked was merely the enhancement brought by her realm, a form of control over the Dao.

Gu Zunren could not help but admire Shangguan Xier. Someone like her would absolutely be among the most exceptional top-tier experts even in ancient times. Furthermore, without ever breaking through, she already possessed the power of the Holy Realm. Once she breaks through, to what extent would her strength reach?

This person is simply a freak.

They were shocked, but Shangguan Xier was evidently even more horrified. She was very aware of her strength; previously, burning her blood to activate the Diamond Bracelet was enough to obliterate a Half-Saint master, yet it had only forced Qin Chen back a bit, not even seriously injuring him. The Po Chen Martial Emperor truly lived up to his title, and after three hundred years, Qin Chen had become even more monstrous than before.

“Devouring him might give me the chance to step into the Holy Realm?”

A strong impulse surged in Shangguan Xier's mind, and her gaze toward Qin Chen was filled with a strange allure.

Boom! She charged at him once more.

Mo Yuanbai and Gu Zunren were furious and were about to strike again when Qin Chen stopped them.

“Both of you back off. Lao Yuan, keep an eye on the Devouring Demon Lord; I’ll handle Shangguan Xier.”

Qin Chen’s gaze was cold as he looked at Shangguan Xier. The grudges of three hundred years would be settled today.

He urged the Demon Sword and charged forward. As for Shangguan Gufeng, he had already sent him back into the Qiankun Creation Jade Dish. Once he killed Shangguan Xier, he would have plenty of time to question Shangguan Gufeng. After all that, Shangguan Gufeng would not willingly keep secrets for Shangguan Xier.

Boom! In the void, the two began a frenzied battle.

Immediately, an earth-shattering roar echoed as Qin Chen and Shangguan Xier clashed violently. The dark green sword light and brilliant bracelet light continuously collided, the pressure released from their battle causing the entire Ancient Southern Capital to crumble into ruins.

The power of their exchanges was too strong. Just the released ripples were enough to leave Mo Yuanbai and Gu Zunren pale and desperately retreating.

Lao Yuan fared slightly better but still bore a serious expression, coldly watching the Devouring Demon Lord.

The Devouring Demon Lord, Mo Li, and Chi Yan Demon Lord clearly had no intention of intervening at this moment, all staring in shock at the battle between the two, their expressions filled with astonishment.

Shangguan Xier noticed that she could not take down Qin Chen in the short term and was also shocked. She sneered, “Qin Chen, I didn’t expect that after three hundred years, you have reached this level. But you only managed to achieve this by seizing someone else’s body. Compared to me, how could you possibly measure up?”
