Martial Master

Everyone was speechless.

They also knew Bloodhand King and quite a few had dealt with him on multiple occasions. When did Bloodhand King become so easy to talk to?

Usually, Bloodhand King had a bad temper. Whenever there was an issue, he would be the first to lash out, even more irritable than Heng Wuji.

But now, looking at his demeanor, he resembled an old servant, afraid that Heng Wuji might harm Qin Chen.

Was there some hidden message behind this?

Looking at Qin Chen, the crowd's eyes flashed with sharpness, pondering deeply.

To make someone like Bloodhand King change his mind and be so tense about this guy, something must have happened before they arrived.

Moreover, it must have involved something very important; otherwise, Bloodhand King wouldn't be acting this way now.

"Could it be that Qin Chen made some kind of deal with Bloodhand King to keep him calm?"

"Or could it be that this fellow has grasped some crucial handle over Bloodhand King?"

"Perhaps the owner of the Medicine King's Garden behind this person has given Bloodhand King some benefit?"

In an instant, the crowd's thoughts were swirling with imagination.

"What Zhou Zhengshu and the others say, I, Young Master, do not know and am too lazy to care. If you insist on seeking revenge from me, I am happy to oblige."

Qin Chen was too lazy to fight with Heng Wuji, not because he feared him, but because he felt it unnecessary. It would only lead to both sides suffering while a third party benefits.

"Hehe, you all can go ahead and fight. I'll just see what’s in this black sphere first."

While Bloodhand King and Heng Wuji were at a standoff, a streak of light suddenly shot out, accompanied by a cold laugh. A hand reached directly for the black sphere on the stone platform in the center of the hall.

It was none other than the Ice King Han Dao of the Yuan Empire.

"Ice King, are you too hasty?"

Seeing Ice King make his move, the others changed their expressions dramatically. They could no longer think about the relationship between Bloodhand King and Qin Chen and swiftly moved toward the three black spheres.

They had noticed these black spheres the moment they entered. If there were any treasures in this hall, it would definitely be within these black spheres, and they could not allow Ice King to gain the upper hand.

"Hahaha, you all go break the other spheres; this one, I want!"

Ice King laughed loudly. He was the first to act, his speed unmatched. In the blink of an eye, he reached the first black sphere and pressed his palm down.

Zzhhhh...

Blue true essence swirled around his fingers, exuding a chilling aura, and instantly slammed into the first black sphere. With a loud bang, the first black sphere rippled with countless black halos, releasing an astonishing rebound force.

What?

Ice King was taken aback; his palm couldn’t break through the defense of the black sphere?

Just as he was shocked, the black light churned, and what lay beneath the sphere appeared clearly before Ice King—it was a black crystal as tall as a person.

Bang bang bang...

At the same time, deafening roars echoed as the other Martial Kings also struck the black spheres in front of them. In an instant, astonishing true essence enveloped the entire hall, and black light flickered, revealing the contents of the other two black spheres to everyone’s sight.

In the second sphere was a jade slip, ancient and filled with mysterious energy. Just a glance at it made one feel as if they were being pulled into it, unable to extricate themselves.

In the third sphere was an ancient cauldron, triangular with two ears, its purpose unknown. However, as the sphere flickered, it suddenly emanated a terrifying aura, making many Martial Kings grunt in surprise.

However, the restrictions on the black spheres were incredibly sturdy. The consecutive attacks from everyone only revealed the contents within the black spheres momentarily before they quickly returned to calm.

Yet in that brief moment, everyone in the arena clearly saw what was inside the three black spheres.
