Martial Master

"Seeking death!"

The cloaked man saw this and became furious. With a punch, he sent the black-clad man's combat knife flying with a loud bang. Following that, a powerful fist aura surged forward, causing the black-clad man to display a look of terror. In an instant, he was smashed to pieces, obliterated into dust.

"What?"

The remaining ten or so black-clad individuals were dumbfounded. Their big leader, a mid-stage Wuzong, was actually killed with a single punch?

The leader is dead.

"Run!"

A group of people screamed in terror and immediately turned to flee.

"Want to strike? Go ahead. Want to run? Just like that? There’s no such good deal."

The cloaked man let out a sneer. With a wave of his hand, the Tianmo Banner suddenly appeared in his grasp. The black Tianmo Banner expanded in the wind, rapidly growing to several zhang in size, exuding thick black energy that enveloped more than ten people.

A series of terrible screams echoed as over ten black-clad individuals fell instantly under the black gas of the Tianmo Banner, turning into corpses.

"Master, I took care of a few insignificant ants."

The cloaked man retracted the Tianmo Banner and said with a smile.

He felt incredibly excited. After slaying the Blood Eagle Elder, Qin Chen had given him the Tianmo Banner. After several days of refinement, the cloaked man felt that the Tianmo Banner suited him much better than the previous black gourd.

Every time he urged the black gourd, his body would feel an unusual sensation, unlike the Tianmo Banner, which he used effortlessly without any discomfort.

It felt as if it was custom-made for him.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Qin Chen frowned and said, "Is it allowed to kill here?"

They were only several dozen li from Heizhao City, and these people dared to act here. Moreover, all of them were filled with murderous intent, clearly having blood on their hands.

"Master, you may not know."

Hearing this, the cloaked man stored away the Tianmo Banner and collected the storage rings of the more than ten individuals, explaining with a smile: "Heizhao City is located on the border of the Da Wei Dynasty. It gathers martial artists from various states of the dynasty and is inherently chaotic. Coupled with the Black Death Marsh bordering two other dynasties, it naturally becomes a mix of dragons and fish. The bandits outside the city are countless, and many of them, in other states, could be significant figures or even elders and sect leaders of certain sects. Yet here, they turn into bandits, killing and robbing, committing all sorts of atrocities."

Qin Chen finally gained a true understanding of the chaos in Heizhao City.

Here, while still under the jurisdiction of the Da Wei Dynasty, it was indeed very chaotic.

When the two arrived at the entrance of Heizhao City, they saw a dense crowd gathered at the city gate. The people were diverse in strength, with the weakest at Earth Level and the highest at five-stage sect level, all lining up outside Heizhao City.

The cloaked man was somewhat astonished. "Why are there so many people in Heizhao City?"

"Is it usually not crowded here?" Qin Chen asked, confused.

The cloaked man nodded: "Under normal circumstances, while Heizhao City does have martial artists coming and going, it isn't overly crowded. I've never seen such a throng of people before."

Having lived in Heizhao City for quite a long time, the cloaked man was very familiar with it.

What shocked the cloaked man even more was the significant number of sect-level martial artists in the crowd.

One should know that while a five-stage Wuzong isn't rare in the Da Wei Dynasty, it is still considered a master. Now, looking at the line ahead, there were actually dozens of Wuzong experts, which shocked the cloaked man greatly.

The cloaked man's expression darkened. "Master, with so many Wuzong experts gathered, something must have gone wrong in Heizhao City."

Both immediately recalled that when the group of black-clad individuals attacked them, they had mentioned that the two of them likely received news and came to take advantage.
