Martial Master

In the sky.

The head of Jiu Mo Xin shot up into the heavens, his eyes wide open, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Amidst the splattering blood, his gaze was filled with terror, clearly unable to comprehend that he would be slain by a single sword strike from Qin Chen.

After striking, Qin Chen casually put away a ring. A flash of sword light erupted, and Jiu Mo Xin's head was suddenly crushed by the sword energy, turning into a mist of blood.

At this moment, the lower half of Jiu Mo Xin's body remained standing on the ground, not collapsing until Qin Chen finished his actions.

"What?"

Not far away, Liu Ze's expression, which had been smiling, suddenly froze, his eyes revealing anger and shock.

He never expected that Jiu Mo Xin was not a match for Qin Chen, being killed in a single move.

How could this be possible?

"Young Master Chen, you’ve broken through?"

The black slave was also completely stunned, exclaiming in surprise.

At this moment, he realized that Qin Chen's aura was much stronger than when they last parted, clearly having entered the Wuzong realm.

So, Young Master Chen must have obtained the Ku Yun Zhi and consumed it?

The black slave's heart was immediately filled with joy.

He understood Qin Chen's strength all too well; back when he was still at the peak of the late stage of the Xuan level, he was able to use formations to trap the peak of the mid-stage of the fifth realm.

Now that he had broken through to Wuzong, his cultivation must have advanced by leaps and bounds.

Although he might not yet be Liu Ze's opponent, if the two of them worked together, they might be able to escape from Liu Ze.

"Good kid, so you were a mid-stage peak Wuzong all along, hiding your strength! What despicable methods!"

At this point, Liu Ze had regained his composure and roared in fury.

Qin Chen hadn’t even made a move before, but now that he had, the aura of a mid-stage peak Wuzong was completely unmasked.

No wonder Jiu Mo Xin was slain in one strike; with careful plotting, Jiu Mo Xin's negligence naturally led to his downfall.

"Today, if I don't kill you, I won’t be Liu Ze! Die!"

With a thunderous roar, a cold ice spear suddenly appeared in Liu Ze’s hand, transforming into a milky white shadow that instantaneously swept towards Qin Chen.

Qin Chen was so young yet already a mid-stage peak Wuzong, igniting Liu Ze’s murderous intent to the extreme.

Such a genius was even more terrifying than those from their Gu Feng Merchant Association; there was surely a vast and astonishing power backing him.

Now that they had become enemies, even if it meant risking his life, he had to eliminate these two here. Otherwise, if they escaped, it would surely be Liu Ze who would die.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the sky was filled with white spear shadows radiating an astonishing icy aura, transforming into a sea of dragons sweeping out. Before the spear shadows could strike Qin Chen, the surrounding temperature plummeted, as if the air in this black dead swamp had frozen.

"This is... a sixth-tier treasure weapon? Not good, Young Master Chen, retreat quickly!"

The black slave urgently shouted, frantically activating the Tian Mo Banner, trying to resist this terrifying spear shadow.

Having seen much, the black slave could tell from the momentum alone that the ice spear in Liu Ze’s hand was definitely a sixth-tier treasure weapon. Only a sixth-tier treasure could release such a terrifying icy aura. Even he, a peak late-stage Wuzong, felt he could be frozen into an ice block before getting struck.

This kind of attack, if it hit Young Master Chen, even if Chen had great talent, he would be severely injured, if not dead.

Amidst the exclamations, the Tian Mo Banner immediately began to wail, a massive amount of black magic energy wildly surged, constantly expanding, clearly trying to break through the white light’s coverage and block this icy aura's invasion.

But as soon as the black slave moved, Liu Ze coldly laughed as if he had anticipated the black slave's actions. The light from the Li Kan Sacred Mirror in his hand suddenly became even more terrifying.
