Martial Master

“Yes, Father, I will definitely not disappoint you.”

Mo Xiang's face turned ashen after hearing this, his hands clenched into fists as he said coldly.

He understood what his father meant; it was precisely about the incident where he was defeated by Qin Chen at the gate of Heizhao City.

“Father, rest assured. That kid is rumored to have also come to this Black Death Marsh. There might be a chance to encounter him. When the time comes, I will ensure that they die without a complete corpse.”

Mo Xiang said through gritted teeth.

“As long as you understand,” Mo Xincheng nodded. “Let’s depart!”

Immediately, a group of people, along with a sixth-level Blood Scythe Beast, vanished in an instant within the vast expanse of the Black Death Marsh.

At this moment, outside the Heizhao City.

A dark figure stood outside the city, exuding an aura of malevolence.

His presence was so terrifying that when he passed by the city gate, the guards of Heizhao City did not even have the courage to inquire. It wasn’t until he entered the city that they finally breathed a sigh of relief, still trembling with fear.

“The breath of the Lord of the Helm has lingered here before; it seems the target should be nearby.”

The black-clad figure narrowed his eyes, emanating a chilling aura.

This person was the Heavenly Demon Elder, sent by the Skeleton Lord of the Blood Demon Sect.

“I wonder which guy killed Elder Blood Eagle. If I’m not mistaken, this place should be the Black Death Marsh recorded by the Holy Sect. How dare it make me run all the way here from the branch sect; it’s really infuriating…”

These past few days, the Heavenly Demon Elder had been following the residual aura of Qin Chen, tracking him to this place, and he was close to going mad.

As a core elder of the Blood Demon Sect’s branch, when had he ever been led so far by someone?

“According to the records of the Holy Sect, this Black Death Marsh is a terrifying place from ancient times, filled with perils, but it also contains many treasures, particularly beneficial for the cultivation of our Holy Sect disciples. Since I’m here, if I can break through to the late stage of Martial Venerable here, it wouldn’t be bad.”

“However, before that, I must find that kid’s trace.”

With a cold gaze, the Heavenly Demon Elder suddenly vanished from the Heizhao City.

Meanwhile, deep within the underground ruins of the lake, Qin Chen continued his training.

He now possessed hundreds of thousands of True Stones, and he naturally did not hold back during his cultivation.

Not only had he set up a Qi Gathering Formation, but he also created a nourishing space suitable for cultivation using True Stones.

One by one, True Stones were consumed by Qin Chen. After several days, the True Power of his mid-stage fifth level reached a more profound state, and the purity of the Nine Star Divine Emperor Technique became increasingly terrifying.

However, Qin Chen showed no signs of breaking through.

In fact, he had just advanced from the Xuan Level to the mid-stage peak of the Zong Level, and Qin Chen did not expect to break through to the late stage of the fifth level all at once.

He was merely consolidating his cultivation, making it more robust.

For Qin Chen at this moment, he wasn't even considering the late stage of the fifth level; it was merely a matter of time.

What he was contemplating was how to break through to Martial Venerable in the future. Everything he was doing now was laying the groundwork for that breakthrough.

In the midst of his frenzied cultivation, Qin Chen almost lost track of time. When the Black Slave exited the formation, he finally opened his eyes.

After several days of recuperation, the aura of the Black Slave had escalated to an extreme, and his previous injuries had completely healed, leaving him in an unprecedentedly vigorous state.

Upon seeing Qin Chen come out, the Black Slave immediately displayed a hint of excitement.

“Good, you’ve adjusted well.”

Qin Chen could tell at a glance that the Black Slave's condition had improved remarkably.
