Martial Master

At that moment, Qin Chen was facing the middle-aged man and others, completely unaware of the situation behind him.

The red-clothed girl and the middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock, revealing their fear.

They wanted to make a move, but it was already too late.

As they watched the three-eyed salamander about to pounce on Qin Chen, a sudden flash of sword light shot out from behind him as if he had eyes on his back, striking straight at the salamander's head.

Puchi!

The three-eyed salamander let out a muffled cry, its skull cleaved open with a wound several feet long, and blue-green blood sprayed everywhere as its massive body flipped over, smashing countless rocks and trees with a rumbling noise.

"Die!"

The defense of this three-eyed salamander was astonishing; its fat surpassed that of ordinary blood beasts. With a single stroke of his sword, Qin Chen had yet to kill it. Not wanting to waste time, he thrust his sword into the air.

With this thrust, Qin Chen exerted a slight force.

Puchi!

A thin beam of sword light flickered in the void, vanishing in an instant as it pierced into the salamander's head.

A sword hole as thick as a thumb appeared below the third eye on the salamander's forehead, the sword qi burrowing deep into its brain, turning it into a mushy mess. After a convulsion, its life force dissipated, and it was completely dead.

Sizzle!

Once again, another sword was slashed out, leaving a gash on the three-eyed salamander's body.

Clang!

Withdrawing his sword back into its sheath, Qin Chen clenched his hand, and the salamander's blood crystal burst forth, floating into his grasp.

"Hiss, so powerful!"

To kill the three-eyed salamander with a single sword, how could this young man's strength be so terrifying?

The three-eyed salamander was a Heaven Level blood beast. Even if the family head made a move, he might not be able to achieve this, right?

Truly terrifying!

The surviving guards were all dumbfounded, unable to help but draw in a sharp breath.

Previously, they had exerted all their efforts and were no match for the three-eyed salamander. They never expected this young man to effortlessly slay the salamander that had overwhelmed them. How could there be such a terrifying genius in this world?

"Young Hero, I am Xu Yan. These are all guards from my Xu family. Thank you, Young Hero, for your assistance earlier; otherwise, we would not have survived," the red-clothed girl said, her eyes shining with admiration.

Nearby, the young man in green saw the admiration in the red-clothed girl’s eyes and revealed a hint of disappointment. Looking at Qin Chen, his gaze filled with envy and admiration, he clasped his fist and said, "I am Zhang Mingzheng. May I ask for your name, Young Hero?"

"I am Qin Chen, just passing by. There’s no need to worry about me," Qin Chen smiled and then wondered, "May I ask why you all engaged the three-eyed salamander?"

The area where the three-eyed salamander lived was sparsely wooded, covered in moss, and clearly distinguishable from other places. Generally, if someone felt something was off, they would have left long ago.

But this group had evidently come prepared. In the end, their cultivation was not enough, leading to the unnecessary death of many.

"Young Hero may not know, but we came to the Xuan Heavy Mountain Range specifically to hunt the three-eyed salamander. Who would have expected its strength to far exceed our imagination?" the red-clothed girl sighed.

Looking around, many bodies lay strewn on the ground. It was evident that there had been twenty people when they arrived, but now nearly a third had died, and the others were all injured.

Sadness inevitably appeared on their faces.

"I have an unreasonable request," Qin Chen said.

At this point, the red-clothed girl Xu Yan suddenly had a hopeful thought.

"Please speak!"

"We came to hunt the three-eyed salamander for its third eye, but since it was killed by you, Young Hero," the red-clothed girl felt somewhat ashamed.

The other party had saved their lives, yet she still wanted the spoils, which felt a bit excessive.
