Chapter 196: Chapter 195: Defeated Retreat

"Let me test them."

Murong Xiangming suddenly stepped forward, her fighting spirit soaring.

’She’s actually this eager to fight.’

Jiang Chen was a little surprised. This woman could be freezing cold and distant, but in the face of an enemy, she was so hot-blooded and combative.

However, he still tried to stop her.

"Don’t. You’re no match for them."

But Murong Xiangming wouldn’t listen.

"How will I know if I don’t fight?"

With that, she brandished her Blood Sword and, unbelievably, charged alone toward Master Qin’s Eight Great Martial Kings.

She transformed into a streak of red light and shot forward.

"Kill!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

At that moment, a cold smile appeared on Master Qin’s lips.

He waved a hand at the experts by his side.

"Annihilate this woman and avenge my son."

"Kill!"

In an instant, the Eight Great Martial Kings leaped into the air and engaged Murong Xiangming.

BOOM!

The eight Martial King Experts were all wielding Treasure Artifacts and were incredibly powerful.

The battle erupted in an instant. Murong Xiangming’s sword flashed, her movements exceptionally fierce.

Facing the Eight Great Martial Kings, she showed no fear.

Her Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations created a dance of blood-red flutters and a multitude of Butterfly Shadows.

Seeing this, Master Tian Mu hurried to Jiang Chen’s side.

He frowned and said, "Our Young Miss is no match for the Eight Great Martial Kings."

"Jiang Chen, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? We might not escape with our lives today."

His tone was grave. He knew that with the Eight Great Martial Kings in action, the Treasure Elephant Pavilion would be annihilated sooner or later.

Even if he and Murong Xiangming joined forces, they might not be able to escape the slaughter today.

The Eight Great Martial Kings were simply too powerful.

Thus, he had a premonition that the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was doomed and hoped Jiang Chen could help.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "It’s useless. The most important thing now is to run for our lives."

’What?’

When Master Tian Mu heard this, his mind reeled.

"Can none of us stop Master Qin?"

He wasn’t afraid of dying, but he was afraid something would happen to his Young Miss, Murong Xiangming.

Jiang Chen said gravely, "Head-on, no one can stop the Eight Great Martial Kings."

"If you want to live, go to the Jiang Family."

But at that moment, Master Tian Mu saw Murong Xiangming being surrounded and overwhelmed by the Eight Great Martial Kings, so he quickly let out a great roar.

"Kill!"

He charged into the fray to help Murong Xiangming.

The people from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, without a second thought, also began to swarm the Eight Great Martial Kings.

Jiang Chen stood there, watching all this and shaking his head to himself.

The moment the Eight Great Martial Kings appeared, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

It was impossible for them to defeat Master Qin at the Alchemy Master Guild.

That was why he wanted Master Tian Mu and the others to retreat to the Jiang Family. Once they were there, everything could be handled.

Unfortunately, they were now rushing forward to fight to the death.

"Butterfly Dance Kill."

Murong Xiangming’s Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations shifted once again.

Butterfly Shadows became Butterfly Dance Kill.

A vast murderous intent enveloped the Eight Great Martial Kings as she single-handedly took them on.

SHING!

Her Blood Sword transformed into eight streams of killing intent, simultaneously striking at the eight Martial King Experts.

The Sword Intent was world-shaking.

"Kill!"

The Eight Great Martial Kings, completely unafraid, struck out fiercely.

The Treasure Artifacts in their hands flared with brilliant light.

BOOM!

The eight of them struck as one. Even though Murong Xiangming had used the second transformation of the Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations, Butterfly Dance Kill, she was still overwhelmed by the eight Martial King Experts, and their attacks landed on her.

Murong Xiangming was instantly wounded, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Her whole body trembled, her qi and blood in turmoil.

She was no match for them at all.

At this moment, Master Tian Mu also charged forward.

He swung his blade, slashing toward one of the Martial King Experts.

SWOOSH!

The terrifying slash opened a wound on the Martial King Expert’s body.

But immediately after, the other Martial Kings reacted.

"Kill!"

The eight Martial King Experts attacked Master Tian Mu in unison.

Master Tian Mu’s power was not much different from any single one of these Martial King Experts.

Facing the eight of them combined, he stood no chance.

BOOM!

The eight streams of killing intent struck Master Tian Mu directly.

Master Tian Mu cried out in pain, his body flying into the distance like a kite with a snapped string.

He happened to land right in the midst of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion crowd that was rushing up from behind.

Someone caught him.

He was already gravely injured.

Covered in severe wounds and dripping with blood, he yelled to Murong Xiangming, "Young Miss, fall back! Quickly!"

He knew there was still a chance to escape with their lives.

They couldn’t keep clashing with the enemy head-on.

"Kill!"

"Quick, save the Young Miss!"

Over a hundred experts from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion charged toward the Eight Great Martial Kings.

Every one of them was an expert at the Martial Master Level.

Although Murong Xiangming was injured, she was still formidable.

She knew she was no match for the Eight Great Martial Kings and immediately began to break through their encirclement.

She soared into the air.

The Martial King Experts wouldn’t let Murong Xiangming escape and began to press their attack.

Below, the people from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, led by Master Tian Mu, surrounded the Eight Great Martial Kings, trying to stop them.

BANG!

Murong Xiangming was struck again, her body sent flying down from midair.

She was now heavily injured.

Master Tian Mu managed to catch her, saving her from the miserable fate of crashing to the ground.

"They really are powerful," Murong Xiangming said with a bitter smile.

"Kill!"

"None of you will escape."

The Eight Great Martial Kings immediately gave chase, descending upon them.

Seeing this, Master Tian Mu said to Murong Xiangming, "Young Miss, we have to run for our lives now."

"Let’s go! Back to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion first."

Murong Xiangming nodded and immediately began to lead the retreat.

"Wait, take me with you."

Jiang Chen couldn’t fly, after all, and he happened to not have any Death Warriors with him. He had no choice but to have Murong Xiangming and the others carry him.

Without a word, Murong Xiangming personally scooped Jiang Chen into her arms and took flight.

’Murong Xiangming is actually carrying me! A woman carrying me while we flee for our lives... this is so undignified!’ Jiang Chen thought, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But Jiang Chen could do nothing about it. He had to get back to the Jiang Family right now, or his chances of survival were slim.

Besides, even if he had brought his Death Warriors today and had them consume Bloodthirst Pills, they still wouldn’t have been able to stop the Eight Great Martial Kings.

Not unless he brought all his Death Warriors and had every single one of them consume a Bloodthirst Pill.

And even then, the battle would only end in a fight to the death.

They fled in the front while the people from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion brought up the rear, constantly harassing the Eight Great Martial Kings.

"Die!"

BOOM!

A Martial King Expert threw a punch at an expert from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion who was at the Martial Master Ninth Heaven Level.

That expert was instantly blown apart by the punch.

A Martial King held absolute dominance over a Martial Master expert.

SWISH!

A Martial King Expert cut down two Martial Master experts from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion with a single slash.

This was an absolute slaughter.

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion had held the upper hand before, but after the Eight Great Martial Kings appeared, it was like wolves entering a flock of sheep.

The people from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion could only flee for their lives, their screams unending.

But Master Tian Mu couldn’t save anyone else; he could only focus on escaping with Murong Xiangming and Jiang Chen for now.

Of course, if those experts from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion hadn’t been blocking the Eight Great Martial Kings, the pursuers would have caught up to them long ago.

Although they slowed the enemy’s pursuit, the men holding them back would all be annihilated today.

Meanwhile, Master Qin watched as Master Tian Mu, Jiang Chen, and the others fled for their lives.

He sneered, "Trying to run? Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will still destroy you."
