I have overestimated myself. After writing this chapter, I feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Writing five chapters a day is my limit. The sixth update cannot be achieved today. I am very sorry. Have a good night's rest, I will make up for it tomorrow. I will try my best to write as many chapters as I can.
The four red horses galloped rapidly, as if they were drumming on the ground. Dust flew everywhere as they galloped away.
Chen Zong, Kang Yuan, Meng Changchun, and Qi Fei were on the horses.
"That place is at the border between the Hidden Dragon River and the Hidden Dragon Mountains. We'll probably take four days to get there," Kang Yuan said as he rode.
"As long as there's something, I'm willing to take ten days, let alone four days," Meng Changchun said excitedly.
The Zhenwu Relic was the dream of many martial artists. They were just four Qi and Blood realm martial artists. Even if they were stronger than most Qi and Blood realm martial artists, they were at the bottom of the entire martial artist system. How could they not be excited to have the chance to obtain something left behind by a True Martial Realm martial artist?
"I hope it won't be excavated by others." Qi Fei said disappointedly. However, this was the truth. The Zhenwu Relic didn't belong to anyone. It belonged to whoever discovered and excavated it.
"That place is very remote. The possibility is low. However, we have to get there as soon as possible to prevent any accidents from happening," Kang Yuan said with a smile.
The four of them had already discussed it. If there was something inside, they would split it equally.
Along the way, it was inevitable that they would encounter some ignorant bandits. They were all in the Qi and Blood realm. Naturally, they were killed by their swords.
"They overestimated themselves," Qi Fei said with a smile as he shook off the blood on his sword.
Meng Changchun shook his wrist and the blood on the sword tip dripped down. He put his sword back into its sheath with a smile.
The four of them happened to practice swords while the other two practiced sabers. Therefore, they decided to split it equally. Chen Zong and Meng Changchun would share anything related to swords. Then, they would compensate Qi Fei and Kang Yuan in the form of White Jade Coins. If it was related to sabers, they would split it equally among the four of them. If it was unrelated, the White Jade Coins would be shared equally.
Four days later, the four of them finally arrived at their destination. They found a relatively secluded place to tie up their horses and quickly moved forward under Kang Yuan's lead.
The Hidden Dragon River was surging with endless waves, crossing the Ultimate Martial Main City and the thirty plus Martial Cities under its jurisdiction. It was a few thousand meters wide and had a majestic aura. At first glance, it seemed to have no beginning or end.
Looking around, Chen Zong felt that his vision was broadened. This was the first time he had seen the Hidden Dragon River. Seeing it with his own eyes was not as good as hearing about it.
That kind of majestic aura, that kind of continuous and indomitable momentum, it was as if nothing could stop it. Even if it was a mountain, it would be crushed.
"The power of nature is indeed terrifying." Chen Zong could not help but sigh.
"I heard that a powerful martial artist comprehended the Hidden Dragon River and created a martial art." Meng Changchun smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Zong could not help but think of the Long Flow Sword Technique.
Compared to the Hidden Dragon River, the Long Flow Sword Technique was insignificant. It was like an ant compared to a giant elephant. However, it was undeniable that the Long Flow Sword Technique had a trace of the Hidden Dragon River's charm to a certain extent. In fact, any river would have the same charm, whether it was big or small, clear or vague.
"That place is right in front of us." Kang Yuan suddenly said. Chen Zong's feeling of enlightenment was interrupted.
The four of them quickly moved forward and walked along the Hidden Dragon River. The more they walked, the more remote it became. Gradually, they reached the foot of a cliff. Above them was a section of the Hidden Dragon Mountain, and below them was the Hidden Dragon River. The four of them were in the middle.
"We're here."
After many twists and turns, under Kang Yuan's lead, they finally arrived in front of a stone door.
"It is indeed very remote." Meng Changchun nodded.
"Junior Brother Kang, how did you find such a remote place?" Qi Fei was very surprised. He was sure that if Kang Yuan did not lead the way, he would not know how to get here.
"Actually, this Real Martial Arts Realm warrior is related to my ancestor. I followed the clues left by my ancestor and searched many times before finally finding this place." Kang Yuan explained.
Everyone nodded. Indeed, if there were no clues, it would be amazing to find this place by luck alone.
"The stone door is in good condition. It should not have been touched." Kang Yuan carefully checked and said something that made everyone happy.
"Open it quickly." Qi Fei could not wait.
"Wait." Chen Zong suddenly said, "I feel that something is wrong."
"You're too nervous." Qi Fei smiled.
"Actually, I feel the same way. It's better to be careful." Kang Yuan glanced at Chen Zong and smiled.
"We're already here. Don't fail miserably." Meng Changchun also said.
After confirming that there was no danger, they pushed the stone door open.
The sound was heavy. It was as if time had passed. As the stone door was pushed open, a strange atmosphere filled the air. It was a little dull.
After the ventilation cleared, the four of them entered. Qi Fei was the most anxious. He was the first to rush in.
The stone room was dark. Fortunately, everyone was prepared in advance. They held torches to illuminate the room.
They stuck the torches in the corners. Suddenly, the entire stone room was lit up.
"What's going on?" Qi Fei's eyes widened.
"There's nothing?" Meng Changchun frowned.
The stone room was very big, but it was empty.
"Let's go." Chen Zong suddenly shouted in a low voice. He took a step forward and rushed to the stone door.
Previously, he wanted to break through to the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible. He was attracted by the Zhenwu Relic. After coming to this place, he had a bad feeling. Now, this feeling was very strong.
"Since you're here, stay."
A gloomy voice suddenly came in. A few silhouettes appeared at the stone door. They stepped in and blocked the stone door.
"Kang Yuan, what's going on?" Qi Fei shouted angrily.
"Obviously, the things here have been taken away. Only a trap is left." Kang Yuan's face was cold. His eyes were shining. He stared at the figures in front of him and said, "Kill them and rush out."
"Kill." Meng Changchun unsheathed his sword.
"Kill!" Qi Fei's eyes were cold and his face was full of anger. He unsheathed his long saber and slashed with a gust of wind.
"Stubborn resistance." The newcomers sneered.
"Kill." Kang Yuan unsheathed his long saber. In the blink of an eye, the saber moved with a gust of wind. It suddenly turned and slashed at Chen Zong.
This strike was too sudden. Chen Zong was shocked. His mind raced as he realized that this was probably a trap set up by Kang Yuan. Without any hesitation, he reacted quickly and unsheathed his sword to end the battle quickly. He used Lone Star Illuminating the World, shining in all directions, causing Kang Yuan to be momentarily dazed. However, he quickly regained his senses and slashed out with an even faster speed, bringing with it a strong gust of wind that cut through everything.
The starlight shattered and the saber wind dissipated. When the saber and the sword collided, the power shook. The two were engaged in close combat.
Kang Yuan's saber art had reached the level of One Saber Six Changes. Chen Zong used One Saber Seven Changes to injure Kang Yuan.
At the same time, Meng Changchun and Qi Fei were injured and flew backward.
"It's you." The voice sounded. Chen Zong immediately felt a gust of wind with a hissing sound. It was like a poisonous snake was waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a snake pouncing at him. The snake opened its mouth and bit at him. Behind the snake was a one-armed man.
"It's you." Seeing the man, Chen Zong immediately remembered the man in black he met in a cave in a section of Mount Fulong. The man could turn into a half-human, half-snake monster. He was a disciple of the Black Demon Sect. One of his arms was cut off by Chen Zong.
He didn't expect to meet him here.
Evidently, other than the broken arm, the other party's injuries had completely healed, and he had also gotten used to the broken arm. The strength he displayed was many times stronger than before, but Chen Zong was not the Chen Zong from back then.
Flowing Stream!
The sword slashed out, turning into a cold river that surged forward. The sword light was continuous and incomparably sharp, directly shattering the snake shadow.
"Demon Transformation!"
The strength that Chen Zong had displayed was very strong. His opponent did not have the confidence to win, so he immediately used his trump card, Monster Transformation, turning into a half-human, half-snake form. His aura skyrocketed, and his strength increased tremendously. His snake-like arms swung out, shattering the sword light. His snake-like mouth opened, biting towards Chen Zong's neck, wanting to tear it apart.
Flowing Stream!
Under the faster and fiercer sword light, the snake's mouth was torn apart. The arm was not able to retract in time. It was immediately cut into pieces by countless sword lights. The flesh and blood splashed in all directions.
As soon as the scream was heard, the sword light was right in front of the man's eyes. It dimmed in an instant. The Black Demon Sect disciple's throat was pierced through. He died in one strike.
After killing the man, Chen Zong didn't hesitate. He immediately rushed to the stone door.
"Stop him!" Kang Yuan shouted.
In fact, the main target this time was Chen Zong. Meng Changchun and Qi Fei were just secondary targets.
Shadows rushed from the side. The wind was whistling and the air pressure was rolling. Chen Zong's body swayed. He used the Shadow Separation Art. The shadows were so vivid that it was hard to distinguish them. They were shattered by the attacks. Chen Zong's real body had already rushed to the stone door. He dodged another attack and used the Wind Step to rush out.
"Chase him! We can't let him escape!" Kang Yuan's face changed. He shouted angrily.
"Chase!" The others immediately used their footwork to chase after him.
Meng Changchun and Qi Fei stood up. They were knocked out by Kang Yuan's palm.
"Men, take them away!" Kang Yuan shouted. Soon, people appeared and tied up Meng Changchun and Qi Fei.
"Chen Zong, it wasn't easy for me to get close to you. I spent a few months to gain your trust. Then, I used the True Martial Ruins to satisfy your desire and attracted you here. I can't let you escape!" Kang Yuan said to himself. He jumped out of the stone room and chased after Chen Zong with great agility.
Firstly, Chen Zong's talent was extraordinary. He was very powerful and useful to the Black Demon Sect. Secondly, if Chen Zong escaped, his identity would be exposed. He wouldn't be able to continue hiding in the Seven Lights Martial School. He might even use this identity to enter the four great academies and attract more excellent martial artists into his trap, ruining the Black Demon Sect's plan.
He couldn't let Chen Zong escape no matter what.
After using the Wind Step, Chen Zong used the Wind Step and Water Step.
Chen Zong's cultivation had reached the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Stage Nine. His Blood Qi was purer and more majestic. His Copper Skin Reinforced Steel Body had given his body stronger stamina and endurance. With the combination of the two, not only was his speed faster, he could also maintain it for a longer time.
Every step he took could reach four meters. He was as fast as the wind and maintained the lead.
