Martial Master

The large black cat lazily laid on that white expanse, its expression playful, grinning as it looked at Qin Chen, adopting a posture that resembled a carefree uncle.

Pfft! Qin Chen, who was initially tense, suddenly relaxed, unable to hold on any longer, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura weakening.

"Master."

The Venerable Chaos Poison called out in panic, instantly arriving at Qin Chen's side.

Qin Chen's body was surrounded by terrifying dark energy, his expression dim, his eyes unfocused, his aura extremely weak, clearly suffering from severe injuries.

Moreover, strands of dark power swirled around him, slowly spreading.

"This kid actually absorbed and fused with dark power, courting death? No, it's actually the aura of a certain Dark King's blood. What on earth did this kid go through? Which old monster did he fight with?"

The large black cat swiftly moved to Qin Chen's side, sensing the aura on him, and immediately changed its expression, its eyes widening like copper bells.

Damn.

This is Dark King's blood. Even powerful Venerables would fall if tainted by just a thread of it, yet this kid not only got tainted but also integrated it into his body, maintaining a certain balance. I can't tell if he’s brave because of his skills or just has a death wish.

"This senior, please help the master."

The Venerable Chaos Poison hastily said, sensing that Qin Chen's condition was not good.

Originally, in the Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Path, Qin Chen had suppressed the power of the Dark King's blood. However, actively triggering it now, though it resisted Xidoro, also caused damage to his body, weakening his aura.

"Hmm? Chaos energy?"

The large black cat stared at the Venerable Chaos Poison, its eyes glowing with a faint green light, ignoring Qin Chen and instantly arriving in front of the Venerable Chaos Poison, sniffing left and right, its eyes fixated on him as if it wanted to eat him, making the Venerable Chaos Poison shiver.

"Lord... what are you doing..." The Venerable Chaos Poison broke into a cold sweat. He was a dignified Venerable expert; how could he be afraid of a cat?

Yet, when the large black cat stared at him, his soul quivered as if he was being watched by a demon.

"Damn it, what bad luck. I thought you had some chaos treasure on you. Turns out you're a Venerable who broke through by consuming some kind of chaos fruit, leaving chaos energy traces... such a waste. If I had that chaos fruit, that would be the right use, yet it was squandered by you. A pearl cast before swine, using a chaos fruit to break through to Venerable, what a waste."

The large black cat was frustrated, feeling indignant that the chaos fruit was eaten by the Venerable Chaos Poison.

The Venerable Chaos Poison's forehead was full of cold sweat. What the... wasn't the chaos fruit meant for breaking through to Venerable? How was it wasted?

Why is it not a waste if you have it, but it is if I do?

Feeling aggrieved, he dared not speak up.

"You're driving me crazy."

The large black cat cursed.

"Senior, please help the master."

The Venerable Chaos Poison pleaded, feeling wronged. He was a dignified Venerable expert, revered wherever he went.

In the Southern Heaven Realm, he was a top expert, yet after following the master, he was not only chased by experts from the Star God Palace like a beaten dog, but also scorned by a cat. Is there no justice?

"What's the rush? This kid won't die."

The large black cat said grumpily. If Qin Chen was so easy to kill, he would have been dead long ago.

Buzz! The large black cat activated the bronze bell, which floated above Qin Chen's head. Instantly, a soft bell sound enveloped Qin Chen, suppressing the Dark King's blood on him.

Crackling sounds of lightning flashed, accompanied by terrifying sword energy. The dark power on Qin Chen was gradually suppressed until it finally dissipated into nothingness.

"Ugh!"

After who knows how long, Qin Chen spat out another mouthful of blood. This blood was pitch black, carrying a dark aura, instantly corroding a hole in the void. Boom, within the sky, the power of the Heavenly Dao surged, and heavenly might descended, obliterating the dark-tinged blood into nothingness.
