Martial Master

At this moment, Xiao Zhan and the others all trembled, struggling to circulate their true energy, their breathing becoming rapid.

It was as if what stood before them was not a martial artist, but a towering mountain, an insurmountable peak.

Puff, puff, puff!

In an instant, several geniuses from the Da Qi Nation were injured under this overwhelming aura. Only a few, such as Xiao Zhan, Wang Qiming, Zhao Lingshan, and Zi Xun, who had achieved good results, were able to withstand it.

Their cultivation levels were all above the Mystic Level Mid-stage.

Yet even so, under such a terrifying presence, Xiao Zhan and the others still wore horrified expressions, their blood boiling in their hearts, nearly unable to endure.

"Hmph, as a top elder of the Liu Xian Sect, is this all you can do, bullying the weak? Is this what the so-called top sects of Xuan Zhou are capable of?"

Qin Chen's face immediately darkened while an invisible aura spread from his body, enveloping Xiao Zhan and the others, blocking more than half of the pressure emitted by Ge Xuan.

Only then did Xiao Zhan and the others breathe a sigh of relief, their faces transitioning from pale to flushed, yet they still bore expressions of fright.

So strong.

At this moment, they felt a deep sense of helplessness in their hearts, coupled with a fierce unwillingness at their own weakness.

Ge Xuan hadn’t even made a move; just by his imposing aura, he rendered them nearly unable to fight back. The disparity in strength was too great, no wonder the experts of Xuan Zhou looked down on people from their five nations; it wasn’t arrogance, but indeed a testament to their capabilities.

"Eh? What a peculiar aura, to withstand this old man’s pressure attack. No wonder you are so arrogant."

Seeing Qin Chen remain unyielding under his aura storm, and even release an aura to help Xiao Zhan and the others withstand it, Ge Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

This Qin Chen before him was indeed extraordinary.

"Mutual respect, your cultivation level has actually reached the Late Stage of the Fifth Rank, no wonder you are a top elder of the Liu Xian Sect."

Qin Chen sneered, unable to display any expression on his surface, but his heart suddenly sank.

Although Ge Xuan had shown extraordinary pressure earlier, Qin Chen was only at the Early Stage of the Mystic Level, thus he couldn't see Ge Xuan's true cultivation level. Now that Ge Xuan had broken through to the peak of the Mystic Level Late Stage, he had fully revealed his cultivation, allowing Qin Chen to finally understand the true strength of his opponent: a Late Stage Wuzong.

A Late Stage Wuzong, huh.

Although Qin Chen had long anticipated that Ge Xuan's cultivation was not weak, he didn't expect him to be this strong.

If Ge Xuan were merely a peak Mid Stage Wuzong, Qin Chen would pride himself on using all his strength, along with some hidden techniques like the Illusory Prison and Qinglian Demon Fire, to at least contend with him for a moment.

However, now that he knew Ge Xuan was a Late Stage Wuzong, such thoughts were completely tossed aside.

He understood very well the disparity in strength at the Wuzong realm. With his current cultivation, he could contend with a Mid Stage Wuzong, but once he faced a Late Stage Wuzong, he would be no match.

Moreover, Xiao Zhan and the others were behind him; if he couldn't defeat Ge Xuan, he could still escape, but leaving Xiao Zhan and the others behind would definitely mean death for them.

In an instant, Qin Chen couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

He wasn't afraid of Ge Xuan, but he couldn't help worrying about the safety of Xiao Zhan and the others.

"Since you know my cultivation, why not kneel and admit your mistake? If you can submit to my Liu Xian Sect, perhaps I might spare you a way out."

Ge Xuan chuckled coldly, not making a direct move, but continually exerting pressure on Qin Chen.

The reason he hadn’t attacked was mainly twofold.

First, he didn’t believe the cloaked figure would truly sit idly by. If the cloaked figure thought so, he wouldn’t have emerged from the crowd to injure Chen Tianluo, nor would he stay on the high platform while claiming not to intervene.
