Martial Master

They had no idea that Qin Chen's soul power had already reached the point of soul gathering. The three's attacks seemed like a storm, but ultimately they had not reached the level of mastery. Qin Chen could easily discern the order of their assaults and defend against them without breaking a sweat.

The three were filled with shock and anger; their attacks immediately revealed flaws, which Qin Chen seized in an instant, swiftly thrusting two swords.

Puff! Puff!

Two old men were caught off guard, blood blossoming from their chests as they flew backward.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Cheng's heart sank, a trace of malice flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand, and an invisible sound of breaking air sharply resonated, heading straight for Zhou Zhenglong's face—it was a steel needle as fine as a cow's hair.

That needle was invisible and carried a strong killing intent, causing Zhou Zhenglong's pupils to shrink suddenly, his body hair standing on end as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Just as he was about to be hit.

Clang!

With a flash of sword light, the steel needle was instantly deflected, shooting into the eaves above and disappearing, leaving behind a nearly invisible tiny hole.

"You are in such a hurry to kill and silence, are you afraid of your conspiracy being exposed?" Qin Chen, wielding the rusted sword, pushed Liu Cheng back with another strike, then coldly laughed.

At this, the crowd erupted in discussion.

"Could it be that Liu Pavilion and the Zhou family really have some conspiracy?"

"Otherwise, why would Master Liu be so eager to kill Zhou Zhenglong?"

The crowd could not remain calm and was abuzz with speculation.

"Now that it’s said, Liu Cheng wants to kill you; you don't still want to be loyal to him, do you?"

With a slight force on the rusted sword, Qin Chen sneered.

"I speak, I speak."

At this moment, Zhou Zhenglong dared not conceal any longer and hurriedly revealed the collusion between the Zhou family and Liu Pavilion.

"What? The head of the Xu family was previously injured because he was poisoned by Liu Pavilion?"

"Deliberately using the excuse of treating Xu Xiong, sending the Xu family's experts to their deaths in Xuan Zhong Mountain?"

"Once the Zhou family takes down the Xu family, they will give half of the treasures to Liu Pavilion?"

Boom!

It was as if a bomb had been dropped in the crowd, instantly exploding.

Everyone was in an uproar, unable to maintain calm; the whole scene was nearly out of control.

It should be known that Liu Pavilion had a great reputation in Wu City. Many had chosen to accept tasks assigned by Liu Pavilion seeking Liu Cheng's treatment.

But now, hearing that Liu Pavilion set traps within the tasks and secretly colluded with the opponents of the healers, all for the purpose of robbing the healer's wealth, made everyone explode with anger.

If this were true, it would be too terrifying.

"Hmph, everyone, don’t listen to Zhou Zhenglong’s nonsense. My Liu Pavilion is upright and dedicated to treating everyone. How could we do such a thing? It’s clear that the Xu family and Zhou family are slandering us."

Liu Cheng's heart sank; the very thing he least wanted happened, and he hurriedly explained.

"What a slanderous mouth! I believe everyone here is clear-headed; who is lying is obvious."

Qin Chen coldly smiled and pointed at Zhou Zhenglong, saying: "As for witnesses, Zhou Zhenglong from the Zhou family is a witness; as for material evidence, this package of medicine in my hand is the material evidence. This medicine was given by Liu Cheng to the Xu family, supposedly to weaken the Three-Eyed Salamander, but in reality, it is a special beast-attracting drug that not only does not weaken the Three-Eyed Salamander but will make the blood beasts even more frenzied. Liu Cheng, do you have anything to say?"

"Good! No wonder our Hurricane Adventure Team encountered the Heaven Level Blood Beast, the Heavenly Eye Ghost Cat, as soon as we entered Xuan Zhong Mountain. Perhaps it was also the doing of Liu Pavilion."
