In the 93rd Xuanming Courtyard of the Xuanming District, a tyrannical aura suddenly soared into the sky, accompanied by a terrifying howl of a wolf. It was as if the wind whistled through the valley, emitting astonishing sharpness and murderous intent.
In the next moment, the tyrannical aura and murderous intent receded like a tide, instantly converging.
A figure also appeared in the courtyard. He was dressed in a black robe, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent. It was Li Xie Lang.
After being injured by Wine Master and thrown out of the Universe Garden, Li Xilang had suffered heavy injuries. After returning to the Xuanming Courtyard, he had gone into seclusion to recuperate until now. Fortunately, Wine Master had not been heavy-handed. Otherwise, his injuries would not have been so simple. He might have even been killed.
Even if Li Xie Lang was killed by Wine Venerable, the Heavenly Wolf Sect could do nothing about it. They were no match for Wine Venerable even if they used the entire sect's strength.
During the recuperation period, Li Xie Lang was full of hatred for Chen Zong and Wine Venerable. Even the river could not wash away his hatred. Now that he had finished recuperating and had come out of seclusion, the murderous intent in his heart grew wildly.
Wine Venerable was too strong. He was at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Realm. He was no match for him. Even the top master of the Heavenly Wolf Sect was no match for him. He could only suppress his hatred for the time being and wait for an opportunity in the future or when he was strong enough to take revenge.
As for now, he had to kill Chen Zong first.
He had a chance in the Universe Garden, but unfortunately, it was interrupted by Wine Venerable. He had to find an opportunity as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to kill Chen Zong when he reached the high level of the Half-saint.
…
In terms of body refining cultivation, the Dragon Force Realm was equivalent to the Transcendent Realm, and the Chaotic Heaven Realm was equivalent to the Saint Rudiment Realm.
Therefore, the strength of the Chaotic Heaven Realm was also called the Chaotic Heaven Force, and the Half-saint Body Refining Realm was called the Half-chaotic Heaven Realm, and the strength was called Half-chaotic Heaven Force.
At this moment, Chen Zong's Qi Refining Realm was at the low level of the Half-saint Realm, and his Body Refining Realm was at the low level of the Half-chaotic Heaven Realm.
Their levels were the same, but their strengths were not. Half-chaotic Heaven Force in Body Refining Realm was stronger than Half-saint Realm in Qi Refining Realm.
The Blazing Mountain Inferno Art was a Saint Class Low-Grade Art, while the Great Abyss Cloud Shattering Art was a Saint Class High-Grade Art.
However, Chen Zong's Taiyuan Cloud-shattering Skill had reached the ninth level, while his Burning Mountain Inferno Skill had reached the Consummate Realm. Therefore, there was a difference in the strength of their powers. Chen Zong's Body Refining Power was higher than his Qi Refining Power. Of course, in terms of strength, his Body Refining Power was not as good as his Qi Refining Power.
After all, the level of one's strength was not only determined by one's cultivation, but also by one's martial arts.
Chen Zong's Body Refining Martial Arts was only of the lower class of the Sacred Level, which was not as good as the Qi Refining Martial Arts.
Of course, there was not much difference between Qi Refinement and Body Refinement. They were almost equal.
Like a whale sucking in water, he sucked in all the air and Qi of Heaven and Earth in the courtyard.
As he exhaled, the energy was like a dragon, but it was also like a storm. The entire Xuanming Courtyard was shaking as if it was being ravaged by a storm.
The powerful Body Refining Cultivation brought about a terrifying physique, and the powerful physique also caused Chen Zong's bodily functions to increase exponentially. Even his breathing became extremely shocking.
Chen Zong could not help but wonder if a Great Chaotic Heaven Realm expert could destroy a mountain with a single breath.
He drew his sword, and a bloody light flashed. It instantly tore through the air as fast as lightning, leaving a bloody scar in the sky that did not dissipate for a long time. The blood-red sword light directly attacked the edge of the courtyard, and it rippled out when it struck the defensive power of the Xuanming Courtyard.
Blood Splattering Sword!
Compared to before his breakthrough, the speed of this sword strike was much faster, and its power was much stronger. Overall, it had improved quite a bit.
No matter how pure the Supreme Spiritual Energy was, even if it was stronger than Half-Saint Energy, it was still at the level of Spiritual Energy. Half-Saint Energy was different. It had already surpassed the level of Spiritual Energy and was approaching Saint Energy.
As for Saint-level martial arts, it was undoubtedly the most suitable to use Saint Energy.
Although Half-Saint Energy was not Saint Energy, it was closer to Saint Energy and more suitable to use Saint-level martial arts. The Blood Splattering Sword executed with Half-Saint Energy had a very significant increase in power.
Chen Zong silently estimated that his current cultivation was at the low-level Half-Saint Realm, and his Half-Saint Energy was also at the low-level. Its strength was roughly equivalent to the Supreme Spiritual Energy that he had when he cultivated the Taiyuan Cloud Scraping Technique to the tenth level before his breakthrough.
However, the Blood Splattering Sword executed with this level of Half-Saint Energy was more powerful than the Blood Splattering Sword executed with the Supreme Spiritual Energy of the tenth level of the Taiyuan Cloud Scraping Technique. There was at least a 30% difference.
The difference of 30% was very obvious.
This meant that Chen Zong's Qi Refining strength would be more powerful than previously expected.
Sword Training!
Chen Zong was adapting to his new power.
Although his control of his own power had reached an astonishing level, it was still a new power after all. He had to adapt as much as possible and strive to master it more thoroughly. At the very least, he could clearly know how much power could be unleashed when combined with martial arts.
After practicing the sword technique, Chen Zong also practiced the Burning Mountain Hellfire Hand.
He had mastered both the Burning Mountain Hellfire Hand and the Hellfire Finger. The Burning Mountain Hellfire Hand was a combination of the two.
Chen Zong also discovered that when his cultivation had broken through to the low-level Half-Saint Realm, another advantage had emerged, and that was the advantage of his soul.
The strength of his soul had reached the late stage of the Soul Gathering Sea Realm, which was equivalent to the level of a powerful Saint Realm master. However, his cultivation was very low, which limited the potential of his soul to a certain extent.
Just like a bucket, the soul was the longest plank, and the cultivation was the shortest plank.
Now that his cultivation had broken through to the half-saint realm, the shortest plank had been strengthened and extended, and naturally the water level had risen.
Therefore, Chen Zong was able to quickly master the Blazing Mountain Inferno Hand.
"It's time to settle the score with Li Xie Lang." Chen Zong thought to himself. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Li Xilang had a strong desire to kill Chen Zong. He had not shown any mercy in the Qiankun Garden, and had even used a fatal strike to kill Chen Zong. If Wine Master had not intervened, Chen Zong would have exposed the power of the Asura doppelganger.
Although Wine Master had intervened, the threat of Li Xilang still existed. He was a genius with powerful strength and had some backers. Chen Zong did not want to be targeted by such a person.
Moreover, Li Xilang wanted to kill him. According to Chen Zong's plan, he would kill Li Xilang in return.
Since he wanted to kill Li Xilang, why should he delay?
Now that his strength was enough, he could make a move.
He immediately left the 105th Xuanming Yard and went to the 93rd Xuanming Yard.
When the door opened, Li Xilang stared at Chen Zong. He was a little surprised, but at the same time, his eyes were full of undisguised killing intent.
"Li Xilang, since you want to kill me, I'll give you a chance." Chen Zong was not afraid of Li Xilang's murderous eyes. He said calmly, "Tomorrow, we'll fight to the death in the arena."
Upon hearing Chen Zong's words, Li Xilang's pupils shrank to the size of needles. He then sneered and agreed.
He was thinking of a way to kill Chen Zong, but he did not expect Chen Zong to come knocking on his door. What better opportunity could there be?
Moreover, they would fight to the death in the arena. No other forces could interfere, not even Wine Master.
"Young Master, I'm afraid there's something fishy going on." Li Xilang's guard, a Fourth Level Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse, frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
Under normal circumstances, it did not make sense for someone to initiate a fight to the death even though he knew he was weaker than his opponent. Normally, he would avoid it.
"Maybe he thought he could barely fight me in the Cosmos Garden. Now that his strength has increased, he thinks he can deal with me." Li Xilang thought about it and said, "He feels threatened by me, so he wants to kill me as soon as possible so that he won't be killed by me in the future."
The Fourth Level Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse nodded slightly. What Li Xilang said made sense. However, for some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Relax, Uncle Liu. I didn't use all my strength in the Cosmos Garden." The corners of Li Xilang's mouth curled up into a cold smile. If Chen Zong thought that this was his full strength and looked very confident in dealing with him, he would definitely regret it.
…
"Big news! Big news! Chen Zong, the 105th on the Dark Ranking, challenges Li Xilang, the 93rd on the Dark Ranking, the Evil Wolf Saber."
"It's not just a challenge. It's a fight to the death."
"A fight to the death? What kind of hatred do they have for it to escalate to a fight to the death?"
"Don't you know what happened in the Cosmos Garden?"
The news spread like a storm and soon, many people knew about it.
This time, it was even more intense and lively than the previous time when Chen Zong challenged Lin Heming. After all, Chen Zong was a nobody last time. This time, he was a newcomer on the Dark Ranking.
Moreover, the words "fight to the death" were very influential.
Most of the challenges in the battle arena were to determine who was stronger and who was stronger. It was rare to see a fight to the death.
As a result, it caused a huge commotion. Even many powerhouses were alarmed.
"A fight to the death between the prodigies on the Dark Ranking?"
"Investigate! What's going on?"
Soon, the City Governor's Estate of Mysterious Underworld City took action to investigate.
No matter what, the prodigies on the Dark Ranking were extremely important. The death of any one of them would be a great loss. It would be best if no one died.
Naturally, this investigation was to see if it could be resolved.
No matter how the outside world reacted, Chen Zong did not care. Tomorrow was the day of the battle to the death with Li Xilang. Today, Chen Zong did not relax at all. He was still cultivating and doing his best to improve himself.
Tomorrow's battle would not allow any accidents. Li Xilang must be killed.
Li Xilang was also cultivating. Although he did not use all his means in the Cosmos Garden that day, he did not underestimate Chen Zong in the slightest.
In this battle, he must kill Chen Zong to get rid of future troubles.
Both sides had the same idea.
The moonlight was quiet, and the stars were dim. They waited until dawn.
When the sky brightened and the first ray of the morning sun pierced through the sky, Chen Zong of the 105th Xuanming Courtyard and Li Xilang of the 93rd Xuanming Courtyard opened their eyes at the same time. An incomparably sharp light shot out from their eyes, like knives and swords streaking across the sky.
"It's time to go." Looking at the ray of morning sun, Chen Zong stood up and said to himself. His essence, Qi, and spirit reached their peak in an instant, and he took a step forward.
"It's time to kill." Li Xilang stood up. His eyes were cold and filled with killing intent. His face became gloomy, as if it was filled with killing intent. The temperature around him dropped rapidly, making people afraid.
