Meeting the Black-Clothed Girl Again
"That damnable bastard, he actually didn't take advantage of this opportunity to escape. What is he thinking?"
Seeing the smile on Luo Zheng's face, Song Chen did not know why, but he felt a chill in his heart.
Soon, Song Chen understood why Luo Zheng had stopped and did not flee.
Luo Zheng slowly took out the Thunderburst Bow and nocked an arrow.
"Low-grade Magic Tool!"
Seeing the bow in Luo Zheng's hand, Song Chen's expression changed. However, he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Hmph, so you're so fearless because of this Magic Tool. It's a pity that you're only in the Film Forging Realm. Without true qi, you can't display its true power. A low-grade Magic Tool might be able to deal with others, but it can't break through my Golden Armor."
Song Chen was powerful. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Blood Tempering Realm. He was only a step away from the Marrow Changing Realm. In the Mammoth Battalion, he was ranked seventh.
Moreover, his Golden Armor Art was a high-grade Mortal Step Martial Art. It specialized in defense. A Film Forging Realm martial artist wouldn't be able to break through his defense.
"Haha, I don't know if my bow can break through your Golden Armor Art. However, I can be sure that you won't be able to extinguish my Astral Fire Source! "Luo Zheng laughed.
The Astral Fire Source was a third-grade fire source recorded in the Heaven Piercing Record. It was extremely powerful. How could Song Chen possibly extinguish it?
"You're just trying to scare me. Extinguish!"
Although Song Chen didn't believe it, he was greatly alarmed by Luo Zheng's words. True qi surged out and he ruthlessly slammed his palm down!
Puff!
Not only did the Astral Fire Source not extinguish, it burned even more fiercely. The intensity of the fire was astonishing.
Song Chen's face paled. If this continued, his true qi would be exhausted sooner or later. He glared at Luo Zheng, his killing intent soaring to the heavens. "The fire is controlled by you. As long as I kill you, the fire will be extinguished!"
"Haha, if you want to kill me, eat my arrow first!"
Luo Zheng smiled coldly. Then, an iron arrow flickering with electric light shot out with a 'xiu' sound.
"Golden Armor!"
When Song Chen saw the lightning on the arrow, he was shocked. He didn't dare to be careless and covered his entire body with golden armor.
Bang!
In an instant, Song Chen's large body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. The power of the arrow was astonishing. Although it did not break through his golden armor, it still sent him flying and violently smashing into a huge rock.
This arrow had actually consumed 10% of his True Qi in an instant!
"What frightening power! How can a Low Grade Magic Artifact be so dangerous?!"
Panic appeared on Song Chen's face. Not only did he have to suppress the flames on his right foot, he also had to resist the shocking power of the Thunderburst Bow. If this continued, his Zhen Qi would be exhausted, and he would die without a doubt.
A trace of regret involuntarily rose in his heart.
He originally thought that killing a Membrane Forging martial artist would be as easy as blowing off dust and he would be able to earn 50 Blood Nourishing Pills. He never imagined that he would end up kicking an iron plate.
Moreover, this iron plate was extremely hard, and the recoil could even kill him!
"Damn brat, I'll tear you to pieces even if I have to sacrifice my leg!"
Song Chen endured the intense pain and ignored the injury on his foot. He pounced at Luo Zheng with all his strength and leaped up, his body soaring into the air.
"Haha, what an idiot. You still want to fly? Come down!"
Luo Zheng quickly retreated, and the second arrow shot out.
Bang!
Song Chen was unable to dodge the incomparably sharp Thunderburst Arrow in the air. His entire body had just leaped up when he was sent flying again. He violently crashed onto the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
He attacked again and again, but he was unable to get close to Luo Zheng. The martial arts he cultivated focused on close combat, and long-range attacks were unable to do anything to Luo Zheng. Instead, they increased the consumption of his True Qi.
"How can this be!"
Finally, Song Chen was in complete despair. His True Qi was exhausted, and he could not even maintain his golden armor.
"Those who kill will be killed by others."
Luo Zheng did not show any mercy. He directly shot an arrow at Song Chen's head.
Bang!
Flesh and blood splattered!
Phew!
Luo Zheng looked at Song Chen's headless body and heaved a sigh of relief. "Song Chen's Golden Armor Secret Art's defensive power is extremely amazing. If he was not careless and used the Golden Armor Secret Art to protect himself, the Astral Fire Source would not have been able to burn him. I'm afraid the situation would be completely different."
Song Chen was the strongest opponent Luo Zheng had ever faced. Although he was unscathed in this battle, it was extremely dangerous.
Life and death were only a hair's breadth away. If there was a slight mistake, the one who would be dead would be Luo Zheng.
"I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible. I can't always have this kind of luck."
Luo Zheng thought to himself.
Then he opened Song Chen and Tang Zhi's backpack. There was only food and a few Blood Nourishing Pills. He did not find anything valuable.
Zhou Dongshi's entire body was charred black. Even if there was anything on him, it would have long been burned away.
Putting away the Thunderburst Bow, Luo Zheng continued to shuttle through the stone forest.
"Stone tower!"
After six hours, Luo Zheng finally saw the first stone tower.
"Unfortunately, someone has already been here."
Luo Zheng was slightly disappointed. This stone tower was ten zhang tall and only had three floors. The tower's door had already been opened, and there was nothing inside. Only a few simple and unadorned weapons were lying on the ground.
A sword, a battle spear, a battle hammer, and two sabers.
These ancient weapons, after going through the baptism of countless years, had already lost their spirituality and degenerated into ordinary weapons. Perhaps they used to be magical tools or even treasured tools, but now they were even inferior to weapons forged from refined steel.
They had already decayed.
"In this stone forest, there are nearly a hundred stone towers. Many of them should have not been opened by someone seeking death."
Luo Zheng thought to himself as he increased his speed.
Next, he found two more stone towers. One had four floors and the other had five. Unfortunately, they had already been opened.
In the underground world, there was no distinction between day and night. There was no time.
In this place, there was not a single person to be seen or heard. Some people would even go crazy if they stayed in this place for too long.
This was an extremely silent world.
This space was too big. It covered an area of a few hundred li and was densely packed with countless boulders. It was simply a huge maze. Not to mention a few hundred people, even if a few thousand people came in, it would still be the same.
Luo Zheng slowly calmed down. While looking for stone towers, he thought about his cultivation after obtaining the Through Heaven Sword Array.
He gradually gained some insights.
Luo Zheng no longer used his divine sense to avoid ferocious beasts. Instead, he used some lone ferocious beasts to cultivate his martial arts.
The power of Thunder Piercer and Falling Star Fist were both increasing.
Luo Zheng even gained some new insights on Thunder Piercer.
Three days later.
"Hey, there's a sound over there." Luo Zheng was overjoyed.
Looking in the direction of the sound, his figure flashed and saw three young men and a black-clothed girl with a black veil in front of a six-storey stone tower. They were attacking the stone tower.
This six-storey stone tower was wrapped in a faint brilliance. It was obvious that a powerful restriction had been set up.
There were also five ferocious beast corpses on the ground.
"So these stone towers have restrictions. I don't know if they are related to the restrictions in the Through Heaven Record. Hey, it's her!"
Luo Zheng was thinking when he suddenly looked around and sized up the black-clothed girl. She was the girl who helped kill the Flame Leopard last time.
Although her face was covered by a black veil both times, her figure and the long sword in her hand were very easy to recognize.
The other three youths were all wearing Iron Tiger uniforms. They were from the Iron Tiger Camp. Two of them were in the Blood Tempering Realm. One held a saber, one was empty-handed, and the other was in the Bone Tempering Realm. He carried a crossbow on his back.
"Hey, kid from the Blue Wolf Camp, this stone tower is ours. I advise you to get out of here or you're dead."
The youth with the crossbow glanced at Luo Zheng with a look of disdain on his face. He held the crossbow in his hand and threatened.
"What's the point of talking so much nonsense with him? Just kill him!" The blade-wielding Iron Tiger Camp youth had a ferocious look on his face as he looked at Luo Zheng with an ominous glint in his eyes.
"Hey, it's you!"
The black-clothed girl also recognized Luo Zheng. She frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to leave earlier last time? Why are you still here? "
"I also want to leave, but this stone forest is like a maze. I can't get out no matter how much I wander. Instead, I go deeper and deeper." Luo Zheng smiled. "That's right, I left in a hurry last time. I still haven't thanked you for saving my life. Where are your companions?"
"We encountered a powerful ferocious beast and got separated. Helping you was as easy as lifting a finger. There's no need to worry." The black-clothed girl nodded carelessly.
"Alright, if you're done then get out. Do you still want to stay here?" The saber-wielding youth saw Luo Zheng talking to the black-clothed girl and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"Li Fan, let him stay and help break the restrictions. Just like Sun Yong, give him ten percent of the benefits in the tower."
The black-clothed girl pondered for a moment and pointed at Luo Zheng and Sun Yong who was holding a crossbow.
Obviously, they had already divided the benefits in the tower. Sun Yong was the weakest so he could only get ten percent.
"Since Miss Mu has spoken, I can't refuse. However, giving him five percent is already good enough. There's no danger in attacking the stone door. He just needs to put in some effort. When we killed a few ferocious beasts, he wasn't there. "
The empty-handed youth who hadn't spoken until now said.
The other two quickly echoed. These three youths of the Iron Tiger Camp were afraid of the black-clothed girl. Although they were unwilling to share the benefits with Luo Zheng, they didn't dare to refuse directly.
The black-clothed girl glanced at Luo Zheng. Obviously, she wanted to see what he thought.
"I have no objection." Luo Zheng nodded. Although 5% was really too little, it was still first come first serve. He wasn't an unreasonable person.
"Hmph, you're lucky that Miss Mu spoke for you. Otherwise …" Sun Yong glanced at Luo Zheng unhappily.
Luo Zheng smiled and didn't say anything.
In order to prevent the ferocious beasts from suddenly attacking, they needed to preserve their strength. The five of them took turns to attack the restriction on the stone tower.
"Army Shattering Fist!"
Sun Yong practiced a high-grade human-tier martial art. He constantly threw out punches. Every punch had the power to destroy a thousand soldiers. The power was astonishing.
After a while, Sun Yong was exhausted. It was Luo Zheng's turn.
Luo Zheng couldn't use the Falling Star Fist to avoid being recognized. He also had to preserve his other trump cards. He could only take out his long sword and use the Thunder Piercing Fist to continuously attack.
"Hahaha, this kid actually practiced the Thunder Piercing Fist. Did water get into his head?"
Sun Yong mocked.
"The Thunder Piercing Fist is best used to attack restrictions. The restrictions won't run away. What a good sword art."
Li Fan also mocked loudly.
Chi Chi Chi …
The specialty of the Thunder Piercing Fist was its speed. Luo Zheng didn't seem to hear their words. The sword in his hand struck the restriction like raindrops.
"Everyone knows that the Thunder Piercing Fist is extremely fast. However, it is extremely difficult to be accurate. Why does it seem like every sword strike of this young man is very accurate?"
Miss Mu stood at the side. At first, she didn't care. However, when she glanced at Luo Zheng, her eyes revealed a surprised expression.
She realized that Luo Zheng's sword was only fast at the beginning. Later on, there seemed to be a mysterious pattern.
Every thirty-six sword strikes was a cycle. Every thirty-six sword strikes accurately landed on the corresponding position.
"What a strange sword art. I've seen the Thunder Piercing Fist Manual before. It's true that he is using the Thunder Piercing Fist. However, the Thunder Piercing Fist isn't like this."
