Chen Zong was rushing forward when suddenly, two gusts of wind came from behind him. In an instant, one of the gusts of wind swept past him.
"A country bumpkin from the Mysterious Nether Realm, just in time." Ma West Wind appeared in front of Chen Zong, blocking Chen Zong's path. He sneered, his eyes filled with mockery as he locked onto Chen Zong, as if Chen Zong had become his prey. "Kneel down and obediently hand over the puppet core, and I'll spare you this time."
Wei Zidong appeared behind Chen Zong, his powerful aura locking onto Chen Zong.
"Are you talking about this?" Chen Zong took out the fiery red puppet core and smiled at Ma West Wind.
"Hand it over." Ma West Wind's eyes flashed. There was indeed a puppet core. He immediately ordered.
"Tell me first. What's the use of the puppet core?" Chen Zong was unhurried and unruffled.
"This is not something a country bumpkin like you should know." Ma West Wind sneered. He immediately realized that the other party was trying to get information out of him, so naturally, he would not say it out loud.
"It has something to do with leaving the Puppet Underground Palace." Chen Zong seemed to be talking to himself while observing the other party's expression.
Sure enough, when Chen Zong said this, Ma West Wind's eyes and expression changed, confirming Chen Zong's guess.
The puppet core was indeed related to leaving the Puppet Underground Palace, but Chen Zong did not know the details.
However, there was a chance to find out now.
"Kneel down and hand over the puppet core." Ma West Wind suddenly shouted, his voice cold and full of power. If one's will was not strong enough, they would be frightened and might really kneel down.
But this move had no effect on Chen Zong.
"I think it's better for you to tell me the specific use of the puppet core." Chen Zong smiled faintly.
Ma Xifeng and Wei Zidong laughed at the same time.
It seemed that this country bumpkin from the Mysterious Underworld Territory was very confident in himself. Perhaps he was a genius in the Mysterious Underworld Territory and didn't have many opponents. He didn't know how high the sky was outside.
Since that's the case, I'll let the other party know what it means to be a frog in a well. It's time for him to wake up and realize the cruelty of the world.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Ma Xi Feng took a step forward and threw out a slap.
It looked like a simple slap, but the angle was extremely tricky and exquisite. It was as if it had sealed off all escape routes. There was not even a blind spot, so there was no way to avoid it.
Ma Xifeng was also very confident that this slap would land directly on Chen Zong's face. It would make a crisp sound and even make his face swollen.
A crisp sound was heard.
Ma Xifeng's entire body was thrown to the side. His body spun three times in the air, and his entire body crashed into the thick and hard wall, making an extremely dull sound.
The mocking smile on Wei Zidong's face instantly froze. Soon after, he was completely stunned.
Ma Xifeng was actually sent flying by a slap?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Could it be that he was hallucinating?
A series of questions welled up in his mind. He looked over and saw Ma Xifeng standing up shakily. His face was swollen like a big bun. It could be seen how hard that slap was.
Ma Xifeng was also stunned. It shouldn't be. How could it be that he was sent flying?
How could this country bumpkin avoid his slap and return it with a slap?
There seemed to be a buzzing sound in his head, making him feel dizzy.
Ma Xifeng's strength might be good, but relatively speaking, compared to the current Chen Zong, he was still inferior. Moreover, Ma Xifeng didn't look at Chen Zong seriously. Under his contempt, he was naturally sent flying by Chen Zong's slap.
Ma Xifeng, who quickly came to his senses, was extremely furious. His eyes emitted a terrifying murderous intent as he immediately threw out a palm.
This palm could topple mountains and overturn seas. Its power was extremely shocking.
This palm also displayed Ma Xifeng's outstanding ability. The space around Chen Zong was directly sealed. It seemed that he could only face this palm attack. It was like a storm that wreaked havoc and destroyed everything.
At the same time, Wei Zidong also made his move. His kick was so powerful that it seemed to be able to crush a mountain. It was directly aimed at Chen Zong's back.
The pincer attack was like a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. It immediately made Chen Zong feel threatened.
He was indeed a genius of the Mountain Flow Prefecture. His strength was indeed extraordinary.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Zong immediately drew his sword.
The golden sword light suddenly lit up and instantly turned into a thunderbolt that pierced through the air. The extremely tyrannical power directly tore Ma Xifeng's palm wind apart. The sword attacked.
The speed of the sword was astonishing.
After the sword hit Ma Xifeng, the body of the sword trembled and instantly swept behind. As if it could cut through heaven and earth, it shattered Wei Zidong's kick wind and bombarded Wei Zidong's body.
Two swords!
After directly shattering Ma Xifeng and Wei Zidong's attacks, they were sent flying.
The two of them were not weak, but compared to Chen Zong, there was still a gap. Moreover, Chen Zong did not use the half-step sword intent because he could not kill people.
Who knew if the experts of the Mountain Flow Prefecture knew about the situation here?
If he killed the two of them himself, the consequences would be very serious, and the implications would be huge.
However, although he could not kill them, he could defeat them and injure them. He could then interrogate them about the puppet core and the way to leave the Puppet Underground Palace.
"How is this possible!" Ma Xifeng and Wei Zidong were extremely shocked. With their strength, how could they be defeated?
How could this country bumpkin be so powerful?
In the Xuanming Territory, the only person they knew was Xu Mubai, because Xu Mubai had once defeated Zhao Xingkong by a single move.
Other than Xu Mubai, they did not pay much attention to the others.
However, reality gave them a hard slap in the face.
Chen Zong did not speak. He attacked again. The tyrannical sword shattered the sky and directly sent Wei Zidong flying. Wei Zidong crashed into the wall and made an extremely dull sound. It was like the roar of a drum. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
During this period of cultivation, Chen Zong's overall strength had obviously improved. Even if he did not use the half-step sword intent, he could still have the strength of the top 30 of the Netherworld Ranking with his Spiritual Will. If he used the half-step sword intent, the top 20 of the Netherworld Ranking would not be a problem.
However, the top 20 was just a general term. The 11th place was the top 20, and the 19th place was also the top 20. There was a big difference in their strength.
Ma Xifeng and Wei Zidong's strength was not bad, but it was equivalent to the 40th to 50th place on the Netherworld Ranking. How could they be Chen Zong's match?
Suppress!
Chen Zong waved his sword and directly injured the two of them.
"Now, I'll ask and you answer. I'll ask separately. If your answers are different, then don't blame me." Chen Zong smiled coldly. "Although I can't kill you, I'll let you have a taste of some of my methods."
After speaking, Chen Zong immediately pointed his finger at Wei Zidong's head. He temporarily blocked his hearing and turned his body around so that he could not see this side.
"How do we break through the Puppet Underground Palace?" Chen Zong's gaze was as sharp as a sword. He stared at Ma Xifeng and asked word by word, "Think carefully before you answer. If your answer is different from his, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Ma Xifeng looked coldly at Chen Zong, his face full of disdain. Immediately, there was a cracking sound. Ma Xifeng let out a miserable cry. One of his fingers was broken by Chen Zong.
"You don't have to say. I'll break your fingers and toes one by one, and then crush them one by one. If that's not enough, I'll crush your limbs inch by inch." Chen Zong said calmly. His faint smile and indifferent words made Ma Xifeng tremble uncontrollably. It was as if he was looking at a demon.
Breaking, crushing ten fingers, breaking the bones of the four limbs, and crushing them inch by inch. Just imagining that kind of pain was incomparably shocking. Ma Xifeng couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
It was normal to be injured, but that kind of pain was pure torture.
"It's just a way to break through the Puppet Underground Palace. If you want to keep it for yourself, then keep it. Someone will ask for it." Chen Zong smiled, but his voice was even more indifferent. Ma Xifeng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"I'll talk." Ma Xifeng saw that Chen Zong was about to make a move and immediately said, "The way to break through the Puppet Underground Palace is not difficult. There are two points. One is to find the right direction, and the other is to obtain three different puppet cores of different attributes. You need six of each type."
Since he had already said it, Ma Xifeng might as well go all out and tell him the details.
The Puppet Underground Palace was huge, and there were many passages. It was very complicated. If one could not find the right path, they would get lost, unless they were lucky enough.
But how to find the right path?
There was a pattern.
There was a formula: go left if you meet two, right if you meet four.
This meant that if you met two passages, you should choose the left one. If you met a crossroad, you should choose the right one. That way, you could reach the exit of the Puppet Underground Palace.
If one did not know this pattern, they would definitely take many detours. Even if they were lucky, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would always be on the right path.
The prodigies of the Mysterious Underworld Territory did not know this, but the prodigies of the Mountain Flow Prefecture did. It would save them a lot of time.
In addition, there were three types of puppets in the Puppet Underground Palace.
The first type was the Lava Puppet, the one that Chen Zong had killed.
The second type was the Frost Puppet.
The last type was the Storm Puppet.
The three types of puppets had three different attributes, and their cores were all different.
Only by obtaining six of each type of core could one find the exit and pass the Puppet Underground Palace. Then, they could enter the second stage, the Capture the Flag on Sky Peak.
Chen Zong did not believe Ma Xifeng's words immediately. Thus, after sealing his hearing, he turned around and began to ask Wei Zidong. Wei Zidong was more sensible and immediately answered. Other than the way he spoke, the content was the same.
Left if you meet two, right if you meet four!
Six of each type of puppet core!
Thus, Chen Zong believed 80% of it. The remaining 20% could be asked by others.
Next, it was time to take the two's puppet cores.
However, there was only one core. It was a Storm Puppet core. It looked bright yellow, as if a storm was swirling within, as if it wanted to rush out of the core and wreak havoc in all directions. Its power was astonishing.
