Martial Master

Silence.

A deathly silence!

At this moment, everyone on the central arena was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene before them, their mouths agape, eyes nearly popping out.

What were they witnessing? The genius of the Da'an Dynasty, Wu Jiantao, had actually fallen to the young man's sword strike. The entire process was so swift that it felt like a dream!

Many people even rubbed their eyes hard, thinking they must have seen it wrong!

A teenager of just over ten years had defeated a twenty-something six-stage initial peak genius with a single sword strike. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like a fairy tale.

But the scene before them was vividly telling them that this was no dream.

Outside the arena, Wu Jiantao had a long knife wound on his body, groaning in pain.

Blood soaked his clothes, and he no longer had the spirited appearance from before, looking particularly miserable.

"Wu Jiantao, are you alright?"

With a flicker of movement, the remaining four martial artists from the Da'an Dynasty rushed forward to support Wu Jiantao. Seeing the wounds on him, they all inhaled sharply.

The knife wound on Wu Jiantao's chest extended from his chest down to his abdomen, deep enough to see bone. If the opponent had used a bit more force, they could probably have split Wu Jiantao’s body in half.

"What a ruthless kid!"

Focusing intensely on Wang Qiming, the few from the Da'an Dynasty were filled with anger.

In the distance, in the Jin Yue Pavilion, Ximen Yu and others, who had been calmly drinking, suddenly stood up.

"What a fast sword!"

One by one, they stared at Wang Qiming in shock.

The previous flash of the sword was as quick as lightning; even if it were them, they would probably not dare to be careless. How could such a terrifying genius emerge from a small Da Wei Dynasty?

The key was that the opponent was clearly only seventeen or eighteen years old, much younger than their group.

"This disciple of the Da Wei Dynasty is a bit strange," one genius couldn't help but say solemnly.

"Not necessarily; perhaps Wu Jiantao was just careless earlier."

"Regardless, this young man's strength is not as weak as we imagined."

The expressions of the geniuses turned grave.

"Are all the people around this kid so strange?" Zhou Zhiwei also fixed her gaze on Qin Chen.

She still vividly remembered how Qin Chen, as a five-stage Martial Zong, had played around with her and her master, making them look foolish.

"Let’s keep watching; it might just be an accident," Ximen Yu said, frowning coldly.

Not only them, but many other martial artists on the various arenas also looked surprised, frowning in confusion.

"Hmph, it’s just a sneak attack when the opponent was unprepared."

With a flicker of movement, the only female contestant from the Da'an Dynasty instantly appeared on the arena, looking coldly at Wang Qiming.

"No matter how fast your sword is, if you can’t hit me, what use is it?"

The girl's body trembled, and in an instant, eight figures appeared on the arena. Each of these figures appeared incredibly real, with no flaws to discern.

The eight figures simultaneously attacked, rushing towards Wang Qiming.

"Illusory Body Technique! Could this girl be from the renowned assassin organization of the Da'an Dynasty, the Second Floor of the Shadow Kill Tower?"

The Shadow Kill Tower was a famous assassin organization in the Da'an Dynasty, with a significant reputation across the thirteen dynasties in the northeast.

Within the Shadow Kill Tower, there was a special department for genius assassins, consisting of thirteen members, from the First Floor to the Thirteenth Floor.

It was rumored that the Second Floor was a woman who had mastered the Illusory Body Technique to perfection, capable of creating countless clones, elusive and unfathomable.

Now seeing this girl use the Illusory Body Technique, everyone instantly understood that she was very likely the Second Floor from the Shadow Kill Tower of the Da'an Dynasty.

"It is said that every assassin from the Shadow Kill Tower has undergone numerous life-and-death battles, and assassination has become their instinct. Can that kid from the Da Wei Dynasty withstand it?"
