***Watch out!***
Xu Yan and the others all had their hearts leap into their throats, exclaiming in shock.
Although they knew Qin Chen's cultivation was not weak, the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Xinhua, was a prominent figure in Martial City. Even their father was injured by his schemes, so they were not sure if Qin Chen would be able to match him.
Among the crowd, only Qin Chen remained expressionless.
Clang!
The mysterious rusted sword was drawn, and Qin Chen casually swung it.
"Hahaha, this kid is actually using a broken sword!"
"I thought he was some kind of person, turns out he's a pauper."
"Can’t even afford a decent sword, and here he is pretending to be something he’s not?"
Seeing the rusted sword in Qin Chen’s hand, the Zhou family members couldn't help but burst into laughter.
But the next moment, their smiles froze.
Swish!
A brilliant sword light burst forth from the rusted sword, radiating a heart-pounding aura. The air was instantly sliced apart, and the fierce sword energy struck against the black fist wind, cutting it open with a soft 'pu,' as easily as chopping vegetables.
"This sword energy is formidable!"
Zhou Xinhua's expression changed drastically. He didn’t have time to kill Qin Chen and hurriedly withdrew his hands, forming a true energy shield around his body while crossing his arms in a cross shape in front of his chest.
Puff!
The later-stage Heavenly Level true energy shield shattered like glass, instantly cut apart. The dazzling sword light struck hard against Zhou Xinhua's protective arm.
Clang!
A massive gash appeared on the dark, heavy black iron arm guard, and fiery sparks flew out like fireworks, shooting three to four meters away, with a pungent burnt smell wafting through the air.
Boom!
Unable to withstand the massive force of the incoming sword energy, Zhou Xinhua was sent flying backward, his feet carving long grooves in the rocky ground. He only stopped after being thrust back several meters.
Whew!
After expelling a mouthful of foul air, Zhou Xinhua's face turned green and pale, his internal energy surging.
The crowd in the hall was dumbfounded. A casual sword energy had sent the highest cultivator present, Zhou Xinhua, flying.
Moreover, Zhou Xinhua's protective arm guard was a third-tier treasured weapon, yet it was sliced open by the opponent’s sword energy, almost severed in one blow.
If even a bit more strength had been added, the arm guard would have been pierced, and wouldn’t Zhou Xinhua himself have been cut in half?
"You little brat, you’re quite bold!"
The most shocked was still Zhou Xinhua. He took a deep breath, rapidly channeling his true energy to its peak and suddenly lunged at Qin Chen again.
Boom!
This time, he dared not be careless. His later-stage Heavenly Level cultivation was fully revealed, and his entire body erupted with a blazing red glow, showcasing the power of his bloodline. The gauntlets on his hands transformed into blazing flames as he hurled them towards Qin Chen.
The air trembled, and the void roared. Under this punch, the world changed color, the entire Xu family hall shook with a rumble, and the intense airflow shattered the surrounding tables and chairs. A terrifying fire wolf appeared in mid-air, lunging at Qin Chen.
"Heavenly Wolf Dominating Fist!"
Zhou Xinhua did not believe he was no match for Qin Chen. Previously, he had merely been careless, almost embarrassed himself; this strike would certainly make everyone aware of the consequences of offending him.
"Slash!"
Qin Chen remained unchanged, gripping the sword and striking down with force.
Puff!
The brilliant sword light, like an immortal descending from the sky, instantly split the red true energy giant wolf in half, letting out a shrill howl before shattering.
The sword light did not diminish, and it fiercely struck Zhou Xinhua.
Puff!
Blood burst forth, and Zhou Xinhua let out a scream as he was sent flying, a long sword wound appearing on his chest, deep enough to see bone, nearly penetrating his upper body, with blood spraying wildly.
