Martial Master

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it seemed that Jiu Moxin's attack was about to strike.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted above this Black Marsh Square.

"Who dares to harm Young Master Chen? Seeking death!"

The roar boomed like a clap of thunder, and amidst the thunderous noise, a mass of black clouds swiftly descended, instantly enveloping Jiu Moxin's attack.

Boom!

The black clouds collided with the black blade aura Jiu Moxin unleashed, producing a deafening explosion.

Jiu Moxin felt a shock to his heart; an icy chill enveloped him, and at the same time, the blade aura he had swung was being frantically dissolved. He immediately realized that the one who roared and struck out was at least a peak expert of the fifth rank, just like him.

Without a second thought, he intended to summon a defensive shield, but before he could do so, he felt his true power rapidly melting away around his body, emitting a sizzling sound.

Although the sound was faint, Jiu Moxin heard it clearly.

His face changed drastically as he instantly understood that his true power shield was being frantically dissolved by this black mist. This black mist was extremely cold and terrifying; after blocking his blade light, it showed no signs of weakening and instead began to invade his body.

This was bad; the opponent's strength was definitely above his, and not by a small margin.

Realizing this, Jiu Moxin could no longer afford to kill Qin Chen; he quickly attempted to retreat. However, as soon as he stepped back, he felt a tremendous resistance from behind. He instantly understood that he was already surrounded by the black mist. To escape, he would have to break through the black mist; otherwise, there was no way out.

Cold sweat dripped from Jiu Moxin's forehead as he realized that not only had the opponent shattered his blade attack in an instant, but they had also trapped him.

If he couldn't escape this black mist quickly, it was very possible that he would be dissolved within it in a matter of moments.

At this critical moment, Jiu Moxin didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy; he frantically unleashed the power of his bloodline, and as he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, he seized the fleeting opportunity to forcibly summon a black shield.

This black shield, activated by his essence blood, erupted with an endless black halo, instantly reducing the pressure around him significantly.

Only then did Jiu Moxin have a chance to catch his breath, but he knew he wasn't truly safe yet. He shouted in anger, "You there, stop! We can talk it out; why resort to fighting?"

"Hmph, 'talk it out'? You dare to touch Young Master Chen; what do I have to discuss with you? Go die!"

Outside the black mist, the black slave controlled the Heaven Demon Banner and fiercely slashed down towards Jiu Moxin.

He was furious; it had been difficult to follow Qin Chen and gain hope of healing his injuries and even breaking through. Yet, in just a brief moment, Young Master Chen was bullied by this guy.

In the eyes of the black slave, the one who attacked Qin Chen was not trying to kill Qin Chen, but wanted to make him, the blood-wormed demon, die. How could he agree to that?

Just as Jiu Moxin summoned the shield and roared, he saw the opponent completely ignore his words. The overwhelming black mist rapidly transformed, and then a denser black beam of light slashed down towards him.

Heaven Demon Banner, one flag to sweep away demons!

The black radiance instantly illuminated Jiu Moxin's vision, even making him feel as if he were deep in purgatory, about to be buried within it.

The onlooking martial artists around were all shocked by this scene; the cloaked figure not only instantly shattered the Bloodthirsty Demon’s attack but also enveloped Jiu Moxin in a vast ocean of black mist, directly controlling the black banner to strike down at Jiu Moxin.

The churning black mist made everyone feel their spirits shudder and their breathing become difficult, with some feeling that the attack from the black banner was overwhelmingly magnificent and shocking.
