Martial Master

"Charge out!" Wang Qiming roared, slashing with his sword.

Boom!

A fierce sword light, carrying a destructive killing intent, poured out like a vast ocean, sweeping everything away.

"Kid, your talent is good, but unfortunately, you are too weak!"

Across from him, a peak late-stage Wuzong with a sinister smile appeared, wielding a sturdy iron staff that instantly crashed down on Wang Qiming's slashing blade.

With a thunderous sound, an endless surge of true power erupted, causing the ground beneath their feet to crack, with countless fissures spreading out like a spider's web.

Step, step, step!

Wang Qiming staggered back three steps, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

In terms of cultivation, he was only at the early stage of the fifth level. In the Imperial Star Academy, he could be considered a master, able to kill any early stage or even mid-stage Wuzong that came his way.

Unfortunately, the opponent he faced was a top expert from the Feng family.

The peak late-stage Wuzong was several levels higher in terms of cultivation, not to mention that the Feng family was one of the top noble families under the Cold family's rule in the imperial city, with disciples practicing profound techniques of great renown.

"Get back!"

After landing a successful hit, the late-stage peak Wuzong laughed again, swinging his staff. The shadow of the staff roared like an enraged dragon and a fierce tiger, traversing the heavens and earth, sweeping everything in its path.

This blow aimed to seriously injure Wang Qiming.

"Roar!"

Wang Qiming howled, his eyes turning crimson. Although he had fallen behind earlier, his aura grew increasingly frenzied. With a roar, he swung his sword once more.

Boom, boom, boom!

The clash of staff and sword sent terrifying true power ricocheting back. Wang Qiming continued to retreat, blood spilling from his mouth, yet his momentum resembled a crazed lone wolf, fixated on his prey and unwilling to take a step back.

"This guy is really a madman."

The late-stage peak Wuzong's expression turned ugly. With his cultivation level, he actually couldn't take down a mere early-stage youth; if this got out, how would he stand?

"Staff Sweeps the Universe!"

"Roar!"

With the power of his bloodline surging, the late-stage peak Wuzong's face twisted grotesquely, and in an instant, his power doubled. The overwhelming shadow of the staff struck down, instantly shattering the sword light Wang Qiming had slashed out, then heavily smashing down onto his body.

"Pff!"

Wang Qiming spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion pale as blood seeped from multiple places on his body, continuously retreating.

The man wanted to continue his attack.

"Stop! This person is also one of the Twelve Strong of the Ancient Southern Capital, possessing astonishing inheritances. Moreover, he is a janitorial student of the Imperial Star Academy; there are too many eyes on him in the imperial city. Killing him like this would be hard to explain." Feng Lun, who had been standing arrogantly to the side, coldly reprimanded, causing the warrior to halt, merely looking at the blood-soaked Wang Qiming with disdain.

At the same time, several other warriors from the Feng family also made their moves. In just a moment, Xiao Zhan, Yuwen Feng, and others were all seriously injured and spat blood, flung away without any power to resist.

This time, the Feng family dispatched numerous experts; a group of late-stage and even peak late-stage Wuzong attacking together left even Xiao Zhan and the others, who had significantly increased in strength since arriving at the Dawei Dynasty and had broken through to the fifth-level Wuzong realm, powerless to stop them.

They crashed heavily to the ground, their bodies in agony, angrily staring at Feng Lun and others, their eyes filled with despair.

Nearby, many martial artists who had heard the commotion also gathered along the streets.

These people were all from the slums, with the stronger ones being ordinary fifth-level Wuzong, while the weaker ones ranged from Mystic Level to Heaven Level. They all stared at the scene in shock, rendered speechless.
