Martial Master

Nian Shuo initially planned to kill Qin Chen first, then see who was behind the attack, but before he could strike, an intense sense of danger suddenly surged from behind, causing the hair on his body to stand on end.

“Not good, the incoming person is a master!”

Ignoring the task of killing Qin Chen, Nian Shuo instinctively struck backward with a palm.

“Boom!”

An astonishing force surged through the air, violently pushing the surrounding atmosphere outward.

Nian Shuo's right hand went numb, and he was secretly shocked by the strength of the opponent, which was not at all inferior to that of Xiao Zhan from the Da Qi Kingdom.

He quickly flipped in mid-air and turned to look.

Not just him, at this moment, everyone turned to look.

In the distance, the Imperial Guard was in an uproar as a figure rode a tall horse, charging forth. Wherever they passed, the guards that could not dodge were sent flying away like waves being sliced apart.

“Whoosh!”

As the figure approached the residence, only a few dozen meters away, he sprang from the horse's back like a giant roc, soaring over Zhao Gao and others' heads, and with a thud, landed within Qin Chen’s residence.

The entire ground shook, the rocks beneath his feet instantly shattered into powder, kicking up clouds of dust.

“Who are you?”

Nian Shuo stared at the powerful figure before him, his brows furrowing as anger erupted in his eyes.

How did another powerful being suddenly emerge in the Da Qi Kingdom?

With one after another attempting to stop him, Nian Shuo was on the verge of losing his mind.

It was normal for Nian Shuo not to know Qin Batian.

However, the other Da Qi citizens present, as well as countless imperial guards, city guards, and members of the Zhao and Qin families, were all stunned upon seeing the newcomer’s face.

“It’s Lord Qin Batian?”

“Prince Wu, why is he here?!”

“Head of the family!”

Various titles echoed, everyone stared in shock at the elderly man before them, each person frozen in disbelief.

Even Zhao Gao's gaze tightened; it seemed he had not received any news of Qin Batian’s return.

How had Qin Batian suddenly come back?

For some inexplicable reason, Zhao Gao felt a dryness in his throat.

A name carries a shadow!

When the name ‘Qin Batian’ echoed throughout the street, the countless onlookers around fell silent as if struck by frost.

Although Qin Batian had not returned to the royal capital for over a decade, this name was like a mark forever etched in everyone's mind, never to be forgotten.

“Chen’er, grandpa has returned.”

Behind Qin Chen, Qin Yuechi gazed at Qin Batian, who stood proudly in front of Qin Chen, murmuring to herself, her eyes filled with excitement.

A smile blossomed at the corner of her mouth.

“Father, you… how did you come back?”

Qin Yuanxiong had regained his composure and could not help but stand up.

Elders of the Qin family and others instinctively moved forward, “Head of the family.”

“How did I come back?”

Qin Batian coldly looked at the group of Qin family elders, his brow furrowed with a presence that commanded respect without anger, emanating an astonishing aura.

“If I hadn’t returned, this family would have likely been destroyed by you all.”

His deep voice, laced with anger, reached the ears of the Qin family members, causing them to involuntarily shudder, each one silent as a cicada in winter.

Though he had not returned for over a decade, everyone remembered the old man’s domineering temper.

Moreover, in reality, Qin Yuanxiong was not the head of the Qin family; he merely acted in that capacity. The true head of the family remained Qin Batian, the old master.

“Grandpa, grandpa has returned, everything will definitely be fine now.”

Qin Ying said excitedly from the side.

In her mind, as long as grandpa was there, nothing was insurmountable.

That pair of shoulders could even support the sky.

“Is he really my grandpa?”

Qin Chen looked at the figure before him and murmured.

In his memory, he had no impression of Qin Batian, but in the memories of the previous Qin Chen, Qin Batian's figure was incredibly vivid.
