Martial Master

Zhuo Qingfeng, although a peak Half-Step Martial King, was still only a Half-Step Martial King. His true energy had not fully transformed into true essence, how could he be a match for Leng Pogong?

With just one strike, he was already injured.

“Leng Pogong, you are quite bold! This is the Imperial City, and you dare to kill recklessly. Do you want to rebel?!” Zhuo Qingfeng, despite his injuries, showed no fear and stood angrily in front of Qin Chen.

“Zhuo Qingfeng, I respect you as the master of the Alchemy Pavilion. Step aside! This boy has provoked my Leng family multiple times. If I do not kill him today, I will not be a man,” Leng Pogong said coldly, his eyes icy as he stared at Qin Chen, a terrifying light shooting from his gaze.

But behind Zhuo Qingfeng, Qin Chen appeared unafraid, merely furrowing his brow as he glanced towards the imperial palace.

Why is Liu Xuanrui so slow?

“Chen Shao is a member of my Alchemy Pavilion. If you dare to harm him, I will definitely recommend to the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion branch to destroy your Leng family,” Zhuo Qingfeng declared.

“Just based on you?” Leng Pogong's eyes were cold as he sneered, “You Zhuo Qingfeng are a discarded disciple of the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion. If any other pavilion master said this, I might still respect them a bit. But as a discarded disciple, why would I care? I give you three breaths of time to step aside. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson as well.”

Zhuo Qingfeng was indeed a discarded disciple from the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion. Leng Pogong, the ancestor of the Leng family, knew this all too well; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to act so arrogantly towards the Alchemy Pavilion over the years.

Moreover, while the Alchemy Pavilion was strong, how many branches were there across the continent?

In the entire hundred dynasties, there were dozens, if not hundreds, of branches like the one in the Imperial City. The continent was vast and boundless. As long as he did not kill Zhuo Qingfeng, he did not believe that the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion would suppress his Leng family for a commoner from the Five Nations.

After all, the principle of the Alchemy Pavilion was that they could not interfere in the disputes between local powers.

If the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion were to destroy the Leng family for a young man, word would reach the supreme Martial Domain and cause a great uproar, bringing enormous trouble to the Alchemy Pavilion.

“Leng Pogong, I see you are insane,” Zhuo Qingfeng shouted in anger, yet deep inside, he was extremely anxious.

With just himself, he could not stop Leng Pogong.

What frustrated Zhuo Qingfeng even more was that while he was incredibly tense, Chen Shao showed no worry at all.

“Zhuo Qingfeng, do you refuse to step aside? Good, very good. I want to see who can stop me from killing the person I want!”

With a cold shout, Leng Pogong no longer wasted words with Zhuo Qingfeng. A chilling light flashed in his eyes, and he leapt forward, grabbing fiercely towards Zhuo Qingfeng.

Boom!

In the void, boundless true energy surged, transforming into an astonishing force, akin to a gigantic hand that tightly restrained Zhuo Qingfeng. No matter how Zhuo Qingfeng struggled, he could not break free.

“Is this the true energy power of a Martial King? Is this the suppression of Martial Will?”

Despair rose in Zhuo Qingfeng's heart.

After all, he was also a Half-Step Martial King level powerhouse. Although part of his true energy had started to convert into true essence, before the real Martial King, Leng Pogong, he was utterly helpless, unable to even move.

This sense of helplessness filled Zhuo Qingfeng with profound despair.

“Zhuo Qingfeng, remember this feeling of the Martial Will and the operation of true energy. It will greatly help your breakthrough to the Martial King realm in the future,” a voice echoed in Zhuo Qingfeng’s ears, leaving him speechless. At this moment, Qin Chen still had the leisure to talk to him.
