Martial Master

He was shocked, having never heard of such a thing. Even if one were to go against the heavens, it was impossible for someone at the late Saint Master level to cross so many realms. This was too terrifying; if it got out, it would cause shock in the heavenly realm and stir all major forces.

No wonder he was a top genius targeted by the Demon Tribe's ancient corpses.

Boom! The light of fate around him intensified, and his aura became so overwhelming that many people around him were forced to retreat, horrified. Zhuge Rulong was surrounded by the light of fate; even though his fate palm had been severed, he was not afraid, and did not think that Qin Chen's sword energy could hurt him.

But when the sword light approached, his expression changed. Boom! Endless sword energy slashed towards him, exploding directly in his hand. The power was too terrifying, penetrating his palm's defense and invading his flesh.

Puff! A beam of blood light appeared on his palm, a fine cut had opened, and he was actually injured.

"How is this possible?"

He was horrified; just a late Saint Master had actually wounded him, and there was a chilling force trying to penetrate, a terrifying sword intent sweeping through everything.

"You’re looking for death!" Zhuge Rulong was furious.

He had seen Qin Chen being chased by the ancient corpse of the Demon Tribe, utterly defenseless, merely fleeing in embarrassment. Yet here, Qin Chen had managed to injure him; how was this possible?

Only a few short years had passed since that incident when this child was being hunted by the ancient corpse of the Demon Tribe.

All of this was too sudden. As a Venerable figure with terrifying strength, he was completely unafraid of threats, high and aloof, viewing ordinary Saint Masters as ants.

Because, Venerables are individuals who have surpassed the Heavenly Dao. Ordinary peak Saint Masters are at most able to merge with the Heavenly Dao, while Venerables are not afraid of the Heavenly Dao and can surpass it, how could they be injured by a Saint Master?

But now, everything had been overturned.

Swish! Qin Chen's gaze turned cold as he wielded the mysterious rusty sword, unleashing his strongest divine abilities to attack Zhuge Rulong, trying to inflict injury upon him, but only managed to wound Zhuge Rulong slightly, merely breaking through his palm. That terrifying sword energy poured out, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Qin Chen's expression changed. Is this the power of a Venerable?

His strength had risen so much, even surpassing the late Saint Master realm, but facing a Venerable, he still felt this powerless.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that everyone was caught off guard, witnessing Qin Chen actually injuring Zhuge Rulong, leaving them all in shock.

"Die!"

Zhuge Rulong was furious, his gaze growing colder. The stronger Qin Chen became, the denser the killing intent in his heart, and his desire to capture Qin Chen grew stronger.

Boom! In a fit of rage, he made his move, the light of fate swirling around him, gathering into a river of fate, madly sweeping toward Qin Chen.

Both You Qianxue and Qingqiu Ziyi realized that things were not good.

"Run!"

Having only managed to injure his opponent slightly with a single sword strike, Qin Chen's heart felt numb. He shouted, quickly retreating with You Qianxue and Qingqiu Ziyi.

The power of the Venerable was beyond his expectations; he knew he could not continue fighting.

"Can you escape?"

Zhuge Rulong sneered. With a single step, a lotus of fate rose beneath his feet. Buzz! In that moment, countless lights of fate surged throughout the entire realm, blooming with divine rainbows. Zhuge Rulong had already prepared, sealing off everything around them, giving Qin Chen no chance to escape.

This was bad! Qin Chen's gaze turned icy as a chill ran through his heart. Countless lights of fate rose, transforming into heavenly array patterns that swept towards them. He had already retreated at the first moment, but it was still too late. His opponent had taken him too seriously; from the very beginning, they had sealed everything off with all their might, as if facing a powerful opponent of the same realm, the blockade was too tight.
