Chapter 927: Chapter 899: Luu Chen!

In Zi Zhao Market City, as long as they worked for the Market Master, every Martial Artist knew that the Market Master commanded two sharp blades.

Liang Qi and Luu Chen.

Luu Chen’s sword, Liang Qi’s blade.

Among the Martial Artists who served the Market Master, the topic most discussed was not the market itself, but rather these two formidable experts.

Because they all understood the unparalleled strength of these two.

Their strength had long surpassed the realm of the Mysterious Level Advanced Stage.

Rumor had it that both had one foot stepping into the Earth Level, so when facing ordinary Mysterious Level Advanced opponents, they could effortlessly slaughter them.

These two were the sharp blades in the hands of the Market Master.

Bright Sword Luu Chen, Dark Moon Saber Liang Qi.

These were the individuals widely regarded as the closest to achieving Earth Level.

That they held such a position in the eyes of many naturally wasn’t due merely to the Market Master’s favor; their current status was entirely earned through their own strength.

The marketplace was not free of conflict.

Sometimes clashes would arise with various families, sects, or even rival market cities. And whenever battles broke out with other powers, these two figures would invariably appear.

One in the light, the other in the shadows, striking unpredictably.

But even more frightening was their power—both possessed strength far beyond a typical Mysterious Level Advanced Stage fighter.

For any faction, a Mysterious Level Advanced expert was considered an extremely valuable mainstay. Yet these two could easily obliterate such individuals. If an Earth-level expert were deployed, then naturally the owner of Zi Zhao Market City would take matters into their own hands.

Thus, one could even say that half of the deterrence power of Zi Zhao Market City was propped up by these two individuals.

And this was precisely why these Martial Artists, aware of the inner workings, held the two in such high regard.

To the three observing the fight, Li Chen had demonstrated formidable strength, but since Lord Liang Qi had taken the field, they were certain he would claim victory with ease.

However, what they couldn’t have imagined was how the battle would escalate to such a state.

"Boom!!"

Li Chen dodged a sweeping blade light but took a brutal elbow strike to the chest, sending his entire body flying backward. In mid-flight, he stepped on Liang Qi’s shoulder.

In an instant, Liang Qi was violently knocked to the ground, sliding backward as he scraped along the ground.

"Bang!!"

With a heavy stomp, Li Chen forcibly halted his retreat. Yet, the excitement in his eyes only grew more intense.

Not long ago, he had believed no one within the Mysterious Grade could match him. But to his surprise, other than Zhao Xing, there existed such a formidable challenger.

Though the man was his enemy, his strength earned Li Chen’s respect.

"What is your name?" Li Chen fixed a serious gaze on Liang Qi and asked directly.

"Liang Qi." Liang Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up. Like Li Chen, he too had never thought that within the Mysterious Level, someone other than that one individual could battle him to this extent.

And clearly, the opponent even held the upper hand. This guy... could he be a monster?

"My name is Li Chen." Li Chen clasped his hands in greeting and introduced himself.

"I know." Liang Qi nodded slightly.

"Since you know already and have witnessed my strength, the other one should come out as well, right?" Li Chen suddenly smiled as he looked at Liang Qi and said, "Alone, it seems you’re still not enough to defeat me."

Liang Qi fell silent after Li Chen’s words echoed in the air.

The three observers nearby were even more stunned.

"Another one? Could it be..."

Just then, a crisp voice emerged from not far away.

"This friend is indeed remarkable." Li Chen turned his head to see a man slowly step out from the bushes. His demeanor was in stark contrast to the rugged appearance of Liang Qi.

Liang Qi was clad in black, while the other man, whose features were delicate, wore immaculate white robes.

Looking at Li Chen, the clean-cut man lifted the scabbard in his hand, clasped his hands in greeting, and smiled. "Luu Chen greets Brother Li."

"The White Sword and the Black Blade?" Li Chen’s gaze lingered on their weapons. Realizing something, he nodded slightly.

"There’s no need to be so polite." Li Chen shook his head. "We are enemies. Even if we exchange pleasantries now, it won’t hold us back when we fight. You understand that, don’t you?"

Luu Chen was momentarily startled before nodding in agreement, saying no more.

He knew Li Chen spoke the truth.

"There’s no one else hiding, is there?" Li Chen cocked his head slightly. "Two experts of your caliber... it seems your Market Master genuinely holds me in high regard."

Hearing his words, Luu Chen chuckled lightly. "I’ve heard of Brother Li’s exploits. Faced with a formidable figure like you, how could we afford to hold anything back?"

"My exploits?" Li Chen seemed to realize something. The only feat of his that could warrant such caution must have been *that* one.

"It seems the old master of Yu Manfang sent you to deal with me, didn’t he?" Li Chen asked. "Surely, you understand that if Yu Manfang could not kill me, why would you think you can?"

Unlike Liang Qi, Luu Chen appeared to enjoy conversation. Hearing Li Chen’s question, he calmly responded, "Indeed, Brother Li’s accomplishments are indeed awe-inspiring. Even an Earth-level expert failed to kill you. So even with our combined efforts, we hold no confidence in triumphing."

"Then, you’re just here to buy time?" Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"You could say that." To Li Chen’s surprise, Luu Chen admitted it openly.

"If that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to discuss." Li Chen shook his head, realization dawning on him about the situation.

However, what puzzled him was how Yu Manfang had discovered his presence here.

Meanwhile, the three observers stood utterly frozen.

They hadn’t expected Li Chen’s exploits to be so terrifying.

Yu Manfang! The old master of the Yu family had, not so long ago, successfully broken into the Earth Level—a fact no longer a secret amongst Martial Artists.

And this man... had not only faced an Earth-level expert but survived the encounter?

What kind of monstrous strength was this?

Their hearts grew cold.

If Li Chen had chosen to target them earlier, would they still be standing here unharmed, merely spectators?

"Since you’ve already planned your moves." Li Chen’s face maintained its faint smile, without a trace of fear.

"Then, I must ensure you don’t succeed so easily. Allow me to display a bit of my true skill."

As he spoke, Li Chen reached for his waist.
