Zhao Hai's defensive circle was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, he could only block the attacks of the nine people. The eyes of these people were now red. One by one, they went all out to attack Zhao Hai.
At this moment, a cultivator suddenly cried out and fell to the ground. While everyone was stunned, two more cultivators also cried out and fell to the ground.
Everyone was surprised. When they looked behind them, they found that the Transcending Realm Cultivator that was killed by Zhao Hai was now standing up. He had a cold expression on his face as he held a bloody sword and attacked them.
Zhao Hai and the other Cultivators stared blankly. The Cultivator who was attacked was even more so. Zhao Hai looked at the appearance of these people, then he suddenly laughed and said, "Your courage is really not small. You didn't even inquire about my background before daring to attack me. Don't you know that I'm a Dark Mage? I can turn the dead into undead in the shortest time possible." As he spoke, he waved his hand and turned the three cultivators who had been killed by the undead creatures into undead creatures. The three undead creatures immediately joined the battle.
At this time, almost half of the Cultivators surrounding Zhao Hai died. The Cultivators who besieged Zhao Hai finally panicked. Although they found that the strength of this Transcending Realm Cultivator wasn't as good as before, at most, he was only at the Nascent Realm. However, they were now scared out of their wits. Naturally, they didn't have the courage to entangle with Zhao Hai. They didn't know what other means Zhao Hai had. They were afraid that if they continued to entangle with him, they would all die here.
Both sides exchanged a few moves. Then one of the Cultivators suddenly said, "Let's split up." After saying that, he brandished his sword twice before turning around and leaping away. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared. The other cultivators did the same. They attacked Zhao Hai's group with two moves, forcing them to retreat. Then, they turned around and left.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. He didn't chase after them. Instead, he waved his hand and received the undead. During the second sneak attack, it wasn't only the Transcending Realm Undead that attacked. There was also another clone of Zhao Hai. However, when the clone and the clone attacked, they were immediately taken back by Zhao Hai. Therefore, the Cultivators didn't discover it. They thought that it was the Transcending Realm Undead that attacked.
Moreover, the reason why the Transcending Realm Undead only used the strength of a newborn wasn't because its strength decreased after becoming an Undead. It was because Zhao Hai asked it to do so. This way, others wouldn't know that Zhao Hai had such a card in his hand. They would only think that after he turned people into Undead, the Transcending Realm Undead would only have the strength of a newborn. This way, when he encounters trouble in the future, the Transcending Realm Undead might come in handy.
The reason why Zhao Hai let the Cultivators go was because he was very clear that he didn't have the strength to make all of them stay. Therefore, it was better to let them go. Letting one go was also leaving. Letting six go was also leaving. Letting a few more go was letting them prove his strength. This was better.
However, Zhao Hai knew that this time's trial wouldn't be easy. The Cultivators that left this time would certainly attract more people to chase after him. He had to be prepared.
Zhao Hai looked at his temporary camp. His account had been destroyed. The entire camp was full of broken arrows. It was no longer habitable.
Zhao Hai didn't feel any heartache about these things. The reason why he discovered those people was because they used an arrow formation to attack. This arrow formation was actually a kind of talisman. This kind of talisman was called the Arrow Rain Talisman. It was a large-scale metal-type attack talisman. Its attack power wasn't weak.
Originally, Zhao Hai didn't know much about the talismans of the True Spirit Realm. However, he managed to obtain a jade slip from the Tyrant's Blade Sect's Junk Hall. This jade slip was specifically used to record the methods of making talismans in the True Spirit Realm. Talismans in the True Spirit Realm were much more troublesome compared to the Cultivation Realm.
When those people used their talismans, they caused energy fluctuations. Although they were far away, Zhao Hai immediately sobered up. Then he set up defenses and didn't let the other party succeed.
Zhao Hai looked at the scene and shook his head. He didn't clean up. Then he went into the woods and arrived at a big tree. Then he used his wood attribute ability to enter the tree and rest.
After a good night's sleep, Zhao came out of the tree and walked forward. While walking, he casually ate some dry food, but at the same time, he was more careful.
After walking for three days, Zhao Hai didn't encounter any attacks. However, Zhao Hai didn't dare to be careless. At this time, he was in the open while the enemy was in the dark. He didn't know when the enemy would suddenly attack him. Because of this, Zhao Hai became more careful.
Now that the Hegemon Sword Sect wanted to deal with him, there might be the Imperial Beast Sect as well. As for the Tyrant's Blade School, it seems like he can't count on them in a short time. Who told him to still be in the trial? Because of this, he can only rely on himself.
But what Zhao Hai didn't know was that less than a day after he left the place where he fought with the Hegemon Sword Sect, the Tyrant's Blade School received a message. When the Cultivators of the Tyrant's Blade School were outside, they saw that Zhao Hai's camp was attacked. They also saw the traces of fighting around the camp. They felt that this was very unusual. This was because the camp wasn't far from the Tyrant's Blade School's headquarters. For someone to be attacked there wasn't a small matter. Therefore, they immediately reported this matter.
When the higher-ups of the Tyrant's Blade School received this news, they were furious. They didn't think that someone would be attacked under their watch. Moreover, after an investigation, they discovered that the one who was attacked was a member of the Tyrant's Blade School. How could the higher-ups of the Tyrant's Blade School endure this?
Darkness under the light, this was clearly darkness under the light! The higher-ups of the Tyrant's Blade School also understood this point. The other party knew that this place wasn't too far from the headquarters of the Tyrant's Blade School. That place was the area under the strictest control of the Tyrant's Blade School, so almost no one dared to cause trouble there. It was precisely because of this that after so many years, the Tyrant's Blade School's control over this place had greatly decreased, allowing those people to take advantage of this loophole.
Because of this matter, an elder of the Tyrant's Blade School who was in charge of this matter was dismissed. At the same time, the Tyrant's Blade School sent out a large number of troops to clean up the area around the Tyrant's Blade School's headquarters.
The people of the Tyrant's Blade School knew that there were a lot of spies hidden around the Main Hall of the Tyrant's Blade School. Altogether, they had eliminated five to six hundred spies from other sects. This number wasn't small. Some of these spies were already married in the local area. However, they were still discovered by the Tyrant's Blade School. Naturally, these spies didn't have a good ending. The Tyrant's Blade School's attitude towards this matter was very clear. They would kill without mercy. For a while, the Tyrant's Blade School's Main Hall was in a state of panic.
Zhao Hai didn't know that his fight with the Tyrant's Blade School would cause such a big commotion. At this time, he had already entered a small town under the control of the Tyrant's Blade School. In this small town, there was a branch of the Tyrant's Blade School. However, it was clear that the Tyrant's Blade School's control over this small town wasn't very strong. The total number of people in this branch was only about fifty. The Hall Master of this branch was only a Teleportation Realm Elder.
However, Zhao Hai didn't plan to pay a visit to the Tyrant's Blade School's branch in this small town. He was currently in the midst of his trial. Therefore, he couldn't come in contact with the Tyrant's Blade School's branch. Therefore, he just found a small inn in this small town and stayed there to have a good rest.
After a night's rest, Zhao Hai's spirit finally recovered. The next day, he didn't check out of his room. Instead, he carried his blade and went out of the inn as he strolled through the small town's streets.
What surprised Zhao Hai was the fact that he saw a lot of Cultivators in this small town. Moreover, these Cultivators were all carrying swords. They didn't belong to the Tyrant's Blade School. This made Zhao Hai feel strange, the number of Cultivators in this small town was too much.
Zhao Hai casually walked into a tavern and ordered two dishes as well as a jug of wine. Then he tipped the waiter with a piece of gold. After that, he called out to the waiter and said, "Waiter, why are there so many Cultivators in this town? Did something happen? "
The waiter just received a reward from Zhao Hai, so he naturally didn't hide anything. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sir, you're not a local, right?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I'm not, I'm just passing by. This is my first time coming here. Why? Is the local martial culture flourishing? Why are there so many Cultivators here? "
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, there's something you don't know. Our small city originally didn't have a name, nor did it have a branch of the Tyrant's Saber School. However, during a trial, the Tyrant's Saber School inadvertently discovered an underground cave 50 li northeast of our small city. There were a lot of Demon Beasts inside the cave, as well as some Green Rock Moss. I heard that this Green Rock Moss is a good medicinal ingredient, very useful for Cultivators. Because of this, the Tyrant's Saber School established a branch here and named the small city Mani Coiling City. Because the underground cave is like a maze, nobody knows how big it is. In any case, a lot of Cultivators went in and never came out."
At this point, the waiter stopped and looked at the other cultivators who were eating in the store. Then he whispered to Zhao Hai, "Actually, the good things inside the cave have already been taken away by the Tyrant Blade Sect. Even if you go in now, you wouldn't find much Green Rock Moss. However, the cultivators who went in wanted to try their luck. As more and more cultivators went in, more and more cultivators died inside. As a result, a lot of good things were left behind. A lot of cultivators didn't get rich because of the Green Rock Moss inside, but because of the things left behind by other cultivators. Because of this, more and more cultivators want to enter the cave. However, the Tyrant Blade Sect has set a rule that only a thousand people can enter the cave every month. Because the number of people who can enter the cave is limited, they can only enter through an auction. Of course, if there are less than a thousand people in a month, then each person only needs to pay 100 Jade Essences to enter the cave. Isn't the day to enter the cave coming soon? That's why so many cultivators have come."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he waved his hand and had the waiter leave. Zhao Hai sat there and drank while thinking about the underground cave.
To be honest, there was nothing in the underground cave that could make Zhao Hai act. What really made him act was the underground cave itself. After listening to the waiter, Zhao Hai understood that the underground cave was a place of chaos. Killing and robbing were very common in that place. Moreover, the Tyrant's Saber School's attitude towards that place was very clear. They only cared about collecting money and didn't care about anything else. Because of this, the underground cave was definitely a place without any rules. In that place, it was a place where one's fist was harder than the other's.
Zhao Hai's main purpose in coming out this time was to exchange blows with different people and accumulate some experience. Wasn't such a place just right for him?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up. He looked at the surrounding cultivators and faintly smiled. He took small sips of his wine, and the smile in his eyes became more and more obvious.
After eating, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry to return to his store. Instead, he wandered around the streets and discovered a very interesting phenomenon. There were a lot of cultivators in Mandala City, and these cultivators weren't saints. To be more precise, they were a group of martial artists. When martial artists meet, it was inevitable that they would draw their swords. However, this kind of situation was very rare in the city. Many martial artists would arrange a time and place to settle things outside the city. They absolutely wouldn't fight inside the city.
Zhao Hai didn't understand at first, but he soon understood that this was a rule set by the Tyrant's Blade School. Although this place wasn't in the territory of the Tyrant's Blade School, strictly speaking, it wasn't very far from the school. If one were to use a flying magic beast, then it would take less than a day to reach this place. Because of this, the cultivators in the city didn't dare to violate the rules set by the Tyrant's Blade School. At most, they were Rogue Cultivators, small clans, and small sects. How would they dare to provoke a behemoth like the Tyrant's Blade School? Therefore, if there was a conflict, then it would naturally be settled outside.
To be honest, Zhao Hai approved of this practice. If the city was too chaotic, then the ordinary people wouldn't stay here. If the ordinary people didn't stay here, then the cultivators would have a hard time getting supplies. Moreover, this would greatly affect the reputation of the Tyrant's Blade School. Because of this, Zhao Hai was very optimistic about this rule.
After spending a day in the small city and familiarizing himself with the terrain, Zhao Hai returned to his inn. The inn was called the Pleasant Inn, and it was one of the biggest chain inns in the world of martial arts. Zhao Hai stayed in this inn because of its name.
