Martial Master

Qin Chen looked at Xiang Wudi's eyes and instantly realized that the hatred between them could never be resolved from this moment on. From now on, as long as Xiang Wudi, Murong Tian, and Fu Zixi were alive, they would crazily seek revenge against him.

Even the people around him could be killed.

He saw three pairs of hateful eyes, and a killing intent arose in his heart. "These three have been humiliated to such an extent, they already have an irreconcilable hatred with me. It’s better to kill them, once and for all. At worst, I’ll just bear the punishment of Tian Gong; as long as I don’t die, it’s worth it."

With a thought, Qin Chen stepped forward, and a terrifying sword aura surged forth from his hand, filling the air with a murderous intent that made everyone present involuntarily shiver.

He aimed to strike at Xiang Wudi, ready to kill him before he could break free from his restraints.

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.

Boom! A dense divine light descended, sweeping directly toward the three kneeling on the ground.

This force was vast and terrifying, causing countless goosebumps to rise on Qin Chen’s body, giving an indescribable sense of invincibility.

This was the power of a late-stage Heavenly Saint.

This horrifying divine rainbow, like a river of heaven rolling back, was so majestic that it forced Qin Chen to stagger back repeatedly.

So strong! Qin Chen was shaken; this was definitely a top-tier strong person at the late stage of Heavenly Saint, comparable to the Grand Elder or Supreme Elder in Tian Gong, who had come to rescue Xiang Wudi and the others.

"What a powerful force, just as I was about to kill, intervening at the perfect moment. It seems that although the many strong people in Tian Gong allow us to fight, they do not permit me to kill Xiang Wudi?"

"However, this makes sense. A Holy Son like Xiang Wudi is extremely rare and may very well become a Saint Master in the future. If I were to kill him, it would be a significant loss for Tian Gong."

Feeling this force, Qin Chen took a slight step back, his gaze flickering, but he did not make another move.

It was clear that this was tacitly approved by the various Elders of Tian Gong. He understood the stakes; if he dared to strike again at this moment, he would definitely face the punishment of Tian Gong's top experts, so he chose to hold back and temporarily let the three go.

After all, Qin Chen had already demonstrated his strength, and Tian Gong would definitely value him immensely, treating him as a treasure, providing him with much cultivation support. Once he broke through and reached the mid-stage of Heavenly Saint, integrating various laws, although Xiang Wudi and the others might be troublesome in the future, they would not pose a threat.

So he let them go.

However, as Qin Chen took the initiative to back off, who would have thought that this vast power, after shattering Qin Chen's seal and sweeping away Xiang Wudi and his companions, would unexpectedly unleash a killing intent towards Qin Chen from the shadows.

"Which Elder is this, saving Xiang Wudi and still wanting to attack Qin Chen?"

"Previously, Qin Chen had retreated, clearly giving tacit approval for the rescue, yet the other party still wouldn’t let it go and wanted to teach Qin Chen a lesson."

"Could this be a top Elder behind Xiang Wudi? After rescuing him, still dissatisfied and wanting to teach Qin Chen a lesson? After all, Xiang Wudi has the support of many Elders in Tian Gong. Although Tian Gong appears peaceful, it is divided into numerous factions, each vying for power and profit."

The killing intent flickered slightly and transformed into a terrible murderous aura aimed at Qin Chen. The power of the laws surrounding it was terrifying; although it was not many, each one was shockingly strong. This was the law power of a late-stage Heavenly Saint; if it fell upon Qin Chen, even if he didn’t die, he would be gravely injured.

"Who is this old fool?

Sneaking up on me?
