(My ranking is getting lower and lower, and I'm still far from the top ten. Sigh, I'll give you the first place.)
The cold and domineering voice made Chen Zong's heart sink. The thing he was most worried about had happened.
Ever since he was sure that this was a stronghold of the Black Demon Sect, Chen Zong was worried that there would be a Black Demon Sect martial artist in the Qi Refining Realm guarding this place. Therefore, he was determined to leave as soon as possible in case the Black Demon Sect martial artist appeared.
But now, he was still a step too late.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong removed all distracting thoughts. It was as if his potential had been further unearthed, and his speed increased by 30%.
However, the Black Demon Sect martial artist was even faster. In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong caught a glimpse of a green shadow passing by from the corner of his eye. It appeared a dozen meters away in front of him, blocking his way.
It was a middle-aged man in a short green robe. He had a strong physique, but he had a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked like a big ape. This man was staring at Chen Zong with a playful expression. The pressure almost suffocated Chen Zong, making it difficult for him to move.
Strong, he was too strong. Chen Zong was sure that this man's strength was definitely stronger than the Silver Sword Star.
"Greetings, Green Ape Emissary." Kang Yuan and the others removed their demon forms and bowed respectfully to this man.
"Trash, you can't even handle such a small matter. We've lost so many people." Green Ape Emissary's cold gaze swept across them, and Kang Yuan and the others broke out in cold sweat.
"We are incompetent. Please punish us, Green Ape Emissary." Kang Yuan and the others quickly knelt down.
"Since you brought Chen Zong here, your merits offset your faults," Green Ape Emissary said. Green Ape Emissary said as he looked at Chen Zong with admiration in his eyes. "Not bad. Among the martial artists in the Qi and Blood realm, you are almost invincible. Your swordsmanship is especially outstanding."
Chen Zong did not respond. The pressure from the other party was too strong. Compared to the Blood Bat Messenger and the Silver Sword Star, it could be inferred that the Green Ape Messenger's cultivation was at least at the Third Turn of the Qi Refining Realm, perhaps even higher.
"I admire you very much. If you join the Black Demon Sect and integrate with the bloodline of a suitable monster, your strength will become even stronger. When the time comes, it won't be difficult for you to fight against a normal Force Training Stage cultivator with your Qi and Blood Stage cultivation," the Green Ape Envoy said, throwing out an olive branch.
The Black Demon Sect's strength didn't come out of nowhere. Especially now that they wanted to rise again, they needed more outstanding talents. Without a doubt, Chen Zong was very outstanding.
"Don't even think about it," Chen Zong replied firmly.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not." The Green Ape Emissary smiled and said, "Because there is no way you can escape from my palm." As soon as he finished speaking, the Green Ape Emissary waved his hand. Chen Zong was shocked. He only felt that the palm in front of him was rapidly expanding, becoming a few meters in size. The lines on the palm were clear, and the palm emitted a faint green light that contained extremely terrifying power.
Pressure, an indescribable pressure, came from all directions. Chen Zong felt like an ant that was about to be crushed.
"Blood Boiling Technique!"
"Sky Light Cloud Shadow Sword!"
He exploded with all his strength and used the Third Stage of the Blood Boiling Technique. Even the True Sky Sword energy in his heart was not held back, increasing its power by ten times.
After Chen Zong's cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm, his physical strength had become even stronger. Moreover, he had cultivated the Copper Skin Reinforced Steel, so his physical strength had increased by a lot. The Sky Light Cloud Shadow Sword at full power was at least twice as powerful as when it had cut down the Blood Bat Envoy. Moreover, it was amplified by the True Sky Sword energy, so it was even more terrifying.
The sky light crisscrossed, and the clouds and shadows intersected. Between the light and shadows, everything was white and nothing could be seen. The Green Ape Envoy was stunned. He was in the Fourth Cycle of the Qi Refining realm, so he wasn't affected by the light and shadows. He could clearly see that within the light and shadows, there was an extremely cold sword light that seemed to be condensed from frost and snow. It carried with it the power to freeze and cut through everything, and it pressed forward.
Under the palm print, the light and shadows dissipated. The sword light paused for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered like porcelain. Then, under the terrifying power of the palm print, it shattered and disappeared.
In the center of the palm print, there was a shallow sword mark. It didn't suffer any damage at all. This result made Chen Zong feel powerless for the first time.
He had exhausted all his strength. Even with the double recovery of the Blood and Blood Furnace and the Blood Immersion Jade Essence, he couldn't recover much in a short time. Moreover, the opponent was too strong. Even if he was at his peak, he wouldn't be his opponent at all.
In the next blink of an eye, Chen Zong felt that he had been hit. An irresistible force bombarded his body, and his whole body flew backward. His Qi and blood were scattered, and his internal organs were displaced. His body felt like it was torn apart, and his bones felt like they were shattered.
The gap was too big to describe.
He fell to the ground, and his body felt like it was falling apart. He couldn't get up, but the Fake Frost Stream Sword was still tightly held in his hand.
"If I was only in the First Cycle of the Qi Refining realm, I might have been split open by you." The Green Ape Envoy was shocked, but he was even more excited. This meant that Chen Zong's strength was stronger than he estimated. If he integrated with the blood of a demon beast, he might really be able to fight with a First Cycle of the Qi Refining realm martial artist.
"Take him down and lock him up. Treat his injuries." The Green Ape Envoy waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes." Kang Yuan and the others immediately responded respectfully.
When Chen Zong woke up, it was already three days later. Apart from some slight pain in his body, he didn't have any other injuries. He thought that the feeling of his bones being torn apart was just a dream.
Although it wasn't a dream, it wasn't really torn apart. Otherwise, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to recover in a short time. It was just that the power of the palm was too strong, and it caused him to be severely injured and hallucinate.
He came back to his senses and looked around. It was a sealed secret room with only a small ventilation hole. There was a cubicle in one corner, which was a toilet and bathroom. There was a lamp in the other corner, and the light illuminated the entire secret room. It was about five meters long, five meters wide, and five meters high.
"My sword …"
The Fake Frost Stream Sword was no longer in his hand. The Golden Silk Inner Armor was also taken off, and the Blood Immersion Jade Essence was also gone.
It could be said that other than a set of martial attire and a pair of heavy iron arm guards, there was nothing else. However, there were energy pills, water, and some dry food on the stone table next to him.
Without his sword, his strength would undoubtedly decrease a lot. After all, his strength mainly came from his sword. Without the Golden Silk Inner Armor, his body's defense would also decrease. Without the Blood Immersion Jade Essence, it meant that the recovery of his Qi and blood would be slower.
Chen Zong's heart sank. The situation was not good for him. He was obviously being locked up.
"Chen Shidi, you're actually awake." The door of the secret room slowly opened. Kang Yuan strode in with four Qi and Blood Realm Level Nine Black Demon Disciples. Kang Yuan was surprised that Chen Zong woke up. After all, with such injuries, he estimated that it would take at least five to six days for him to recover.
As for why he dared to walk in so directly, it was because Chen Zong didn't have a sword in hand. His strength would be reduced by at least half, and he wouldn't be a match for him.
Chen Zong glanced coldly at Kang Yuan. He didn't speak. He was too lazy to speak.
"Haha, Chen Shidi, I can understand that you hate me now. But soon, you will be grateful to me." Kang Yuan chuckled. He believed that after Chen Zong merged with the bloodline of a demonic beast and became even more powerful, he would experience the benefits. For any martial artist who pursued strength, this was an irresistible temptation.
"Chen Shidi, I'm here to check on your situation. Since you're awake, I'll arrange for you to merge with the Demonic Beast Bloodline in a few days." After Kang Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left with the four disciples.
"Merge with the Demonic Beast Bloodline!" Chen Zong's heart trembled when he heard this. His expression suddenly changed.
Perhaps, after merging with the Demonic Beast Bloodline, his physique would break through the limits of human beings and become like the Demonic Beasts. He would have more tyrannical strength, and his Qi and blood would become more violent and powerful. At the same time, he would be able to master the Demonic Transformation ability. Once transformed, his strength would increase significantly.
In general, there were many benefits, but there were also disadvantages. After merging with the Demonic Transformation, his rationality would be affected to a certain extent, and he would become less calm. This was the conclusion that Chen Zong came to after fighting with the Black Demon Disciples many times.
When practicing the sword, the most important thing was to be calm. If you lose your calm, the sword would become impure and lose its original sharpness.
This was the first reason. The second reason was that Chen Zong was a human, and he didn't want to become neither human nor beast.
He routinely practiced the True Sword Skill, striving to break through to the sixth level. No matter what, no matter when, as long as he was still alive, he couldn't lose hope.
Without the sword, the Golden Silk Inner Armor, and the Heavy Blood Jade Essence, his strength had decreased, so he had to improve it.
If he could cultivate the True Sword Skill to the sixth level, his strength should increase. Other than that, he could use his fingers to practice sword techniques and the Great Iron Shattering Hand.
He casually struck out with his palm. His palm was red, especially the center of his palm. The color was deep, and his strength was restrained without any leakage. The palm hit the wall of the secret room.
With a bang, the entire secret room seemed to tremble. A clear palm print appeared on the wall of the secret room. It was about five inches deep, and there were slight cracks on the edge.
The Great Iron Shattering Hand of perfection!
He continued to practice and strive to reach the Realm of Refinement.
The Realm of Refinement of a martial art didn't rely on hard practice, but on comprehension.
Some people practiced hard for a few years after reaching the Great Iron Shattering Hand of perfection, but some people had a flash of inspiration and directly comprehended it, thus stepping into the Realm of Refinement.
Every day, Chen Zong would spend a lot of time practicing and comprehending the Great Iron Shattering Hand of perfection, the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm, and the fifth level of the True Sword Skill, to give himself a faster recovery speed of Qi and blood.
In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day since Chen Zong woke up.
"Great Iron Shattering Hand!"
After the palm turned red, it quickly converged into the center of his palm. It was frighteningly red, as if blood was about to drip out. Then, it spread out in an instant, turning into wisps of blood that covered the entire palm. It looked strangely beautiful and breathtaking.
With a bang, the entire secret room shook. Chen Zong's left hand sank into the wall of the secret room. It was eight inches deep, and there weren't any cracks on the edge. When he lifted his palm, a closer look revealed that there were traces of blood on the palm print. After a comparison, one would find that it was the same as the blood vein pattern on Chen Zong's palm.
One had to know that the surface of the secret room's wall was a thick layer of fine iron.
"The True Sword Skill has reached the peak of the fifth level, and the Great Iron Shattering Hand of perfection has reached the Realm of Refinement. Even without a sword, my strength is not inferior to Kang Yuan's," Chen Zong thought to himself.
At this moment, the door of the secret room was opened again. The Green Ape Messenger walked in, followed by Kang Yuan and the others.
"Looks like you're in good shape." The Green Ape Messenger smiled and said, "I believe that you can successfully assimilate this blood."
"Chen Shidi, the Green Ape Messenger has traveled thousands of miles to bring you this blood essence, which contains one-tenth of the Primordial Golden Saber-Toothed Tiger's blood. Once you assimilate it, you'll be much stronger than when you assimilate an ordinary blood essence." Kang Yuan smiled, but there was jealousy in his heart.
