Martial Master

The Qinglian Demon Fire, after being nourished by the Bitter Rhythm Mushroom, had already increased its power several times. In terms of flame intensity, it was enough to rival the peak level six Blood Spirit Fire.

Thus, when the Qinglian Demon Fire was unleashed, the icy aura that was about to trap Qin Chen instantly melted away as if red-hot iron was thrown into snow, disappearing at a visible speed.

With the Qinglian Demon Fire burning, an astonishing heat radiated from Qin Chen as the center, and in an instant, the entire icy aura shook violently. Accompanied by the spreading heat of the Qinglian Demon Fire, the icy mist even emitted a piercing hissing sound.

Although the entire process seemed long, it actually happened in the blink of an eye. Once Qin Chen's Qinglian Demon Fire appeared, the original icy domain was instantly shattered and collapsed.

Meanwhile, the mysterious rust sword in Qin Chen's hand did not pause at all. With a burst of brilliant sword light, it directly struck the icy long spear in Liu Ze's hand.

“Ding!”

A tremendous sword intent shot up into the sky, solitary and proud, as if an unparalleled master was wielding a sword in the air, bringing with it an unmatched destructive force that suddenly surged into the spear, crazily spreading towards Liu Ze's right hand.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

The icy long spear in Liu Ze's hand shook violently under the erosion of Qin Chen's sword intent. His face turned pale, and he nearly lost grip of the spear, almost letting it slip from his hands.

“Steady yourself!”

Liu Ze roared, a more terrifying true power erupted from within him, struggling to fend off Qin Chen's sword intent attack, before he stared in shock at Qin Chen.

He had never encountered such a difficult young man; it was no longer merely challenging but sufficient to pose a considerable threat to him.

“What on earth is this kid's background? Why does he possess such terrifying异火?” Liu Ze was shaken.

He was fully aware of the power of his icy long spear. As a level six treasured weapon, combined with his own Martial Venerable cultivation, the icy attack released was enough to make an average level six Martial Venerable unable to withstand it and sustain serious injuries.

However, that purple-blue flame on Qin Chen was like the blazing sun, instantly vaporizing his full-strength icy attack. It was simply unimaginable.

This indicated that the异火 on Qin Chen was at least level six Blood Spirit Fire; otherwise, it could not possibly withstand his icy attack.

Level six Blood Spirit Fire!

The higher the grade of异火, the greater the difficulty in obtaining it.

To acquire level six Blood Spirit Fire, one must first slay a level six revered fire-type beast that possesses Blood Spirit Fire within it. After the beast is killed, the Blood Spirit Fire must be completely preserved.

And that was just the preparation work; the more challenging part was how to safely transfer the level six Blood Spirit Fire into this young man's body after acquiring it.

Qin Chen was merely a level five Martial Zong; with one misstep, the level six Blood Spirit Fire could turn him to ashes in an instant. Therefore, the materials needed to safely transfer it would be an astonishing amount.

Accomplishing this was even harder than hunting a revered blood beast.

Those capable of achieving this were none other than the most formidable forces within the entire Dawei Dynasty, far beyond his Gufeng Chamber of Commerce.

But that was not what shocked Liu Ze the most; what truly startled him was Qin Chen's previous sword strike.

Others might not notice, but Liu Ze knew very well that the position where Qin Chen's mysterious rust sword struck was precisely the weakest point of his icy long spear. It could be said to be the flaw in his technique.

What kind of insight was this?

With level five Martial Zong cultivation, to see through the attack of a level six Martial Venerable.

Just thinking about it made Liu Ze feel a chill down his spine.

“No, this boy must die today. If he doesn’t, there will be no place for me in this world.”
