Two masked men in black appeared and separated to the left and right, blocking Chen Zong's escape. The other three sides were the mountain wall and the sea of clouds.
Chen Zong's pupils contracted. He had not noticed these two men following him all the way here. It was only when they got close that he sensed them.
It was not that he was not vigilant enough. In fact, his perception surpassed all martial artists in the Qi and Blood realm. It was comparable to a martial artist in the Qi Refining realm. However, there was a limit to distance. These two men were far enough away from him and had deliberately hidden themselves. It was not surprising that he had been fooled.
Faintly, with his extraordinary perception, Chen Zong felt that these two men were martial artists in the Qi Refining realm. One of them should be in the first transition of the Qi Refining realm, while the other seemed to be stronger. However, compared to the Green Ape Envoy, there was a clear gap.
"Bai Yushan, I know it's you." Chen Zong stared at the masked man on the left and said slowly. The other man's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Then you can die in peace." The other man did not directly admit it, but this sentence was equivalent to admitting Chen Zong's words. It could also be a bait. However, Chen Zong recognized Bai Yushan's voice and eyes. He was ninety percent sure that this man was Bai Yushan. Then, the other man should be the martial artist in the Qi Refining realm from the Bai family.
The other man was actually the martial artist from the Bai family who had come to kill Chen Zong before. However, Chen Zong was not aware of the situation and was injured by Elder Wei of the family hall. This time, the operation was even more secretive.
"One of them, Bai Yushan, is in the first transition of the Qi Refining realm. The other man should be in the second transition of the Qi Refining realm. With my strength, can I fight them?" Chen Zong thought to himself.
However, because he had not made a move yet, he could not be sure whether the other man was in the second or third transition of the Qi Refining realm. The difference in strength between the two realms was still very obvious.
"He is definitely not in the third transition of the Qi Refining realm. Even if I fight him, I might be able to escape." Chen Zong thought to himself. This was confidence, a kind of courage and confidence that came with having enough strength.
A martial artist must have confidence, especially a martial artist who practiced the sword.
"Chen Zong, are you going to surrender? Bai Yushan's voice was filled with coldness and hatred.
When he thought about how he was pulled down from the position of Brilliant Sword Hall's chief disciple and how he had to leave the Seven Lights Martial Academy in humiliation, he felt as if his heart was being gnawed by a demon beast. He was filled with hatred towards Chen Zong, and when he thought about how his cousin, Bai Yugong, was heavily injured because of this, not only was he eliminated by the four great academies, but also had to recuperate for a few months due to his injuries, he felt even more hatred.
"If you want to kill me, then show me your full strength." Chen Zong was not afraid at all.
So what if he was at the Third Cycle of Training State?
"Don't move. Don't let him escape." Bai Yushan said to the Force Refining Realm martial artist beside him. He walked towards Chen Zong step by step, his footsteps getting faster and faster. The hatred in his heart was like a burning flame.
As he approached, his inner strength began to circulate. A powerful force began to fill his entire body, causing his body to become light as if he could fly with just a mountain breeze. Following that, a powerful aura began to spread out.
"Although I've just broken through to the Force Refining Realm and haven't had the time to properly practice an Earth Rank technique, it's enough to kill you." Bai Yushan thought to himself.
He had only broken through to the Force Refining Realm a day before the Four Great Academies' examination began. Strictly speaking, his inner strength was still in a primitive state. Only by cultivating an Earth Rank technique and refining his inner strength once could he be considered to have completely stepped into the Force Refining Realm.
However, that was only for true Force Refining Realm martial artists. The current Bai Yushan was in the Force Refining Realm to Qi and Blood Realm martial artists because he possessed inner strength and could use it. Even if it was just a primitive inner strength, it still had a terrifying power that far surpassed Qi and Blood Force.
Sensing the aura emanating from Bai Yushan's body, Chen Zong knew that Bai Yushan was indeed a Force Refining Realm martial artist. However, according to his understanding, Bai Yushan should be at the lowest level among Force Refining Realm martial artists.
"Even the Green Light Wolf King couldn't do anything to me, let alone you," Chen Zong thought to himself as he stared at the approaching Bai Yushan.
Compared to the Green Light Wolf King, Bai Yushan was nothing.
"One strike. I want to kill Bai Yushan with one strike and then deal with the other Force Refining Realm martial artist." Chen Zong instantly made a decision. The real threat to him wasn't Bai Yushan, but the other Force Refining Realm martial artist.
Unfortunately, Bai Yushan didn't know this, and neither did the other Force Refining Realm martial artist. They had all underestimated him. Or rather, they couldn't imagine that someone in the Qi and Blood Realm would have the ability to go against or even kill a Force Refining Realm martial artist.
Even a True Martial Realm martial artist wouldn't have thought of this, let alone them.
As he got closer, the distance between Bai Yushan and Chen Zong continued to shrink.
There was only one chance. If he failed, he would alert the other. At that time, the other masked man in black would make a move, and it would be more difficult to kill Bai Yushan.
If the two of them worked together, Chen Zong wasn't sure what would happen in the end.
Adjusting his breathing, Chen Zong's every breath became long and slow. The energy in his body also slowly gathered. His Seamless Body made it impossible for his opponent to sense the gathering of energy.
"Chen Zong, don't worry. I won't kill you so easily." Bai Yushan approached step by step, the aura he exuded growing stronger. He spoke in a cold voice, "For the first strike, I will first cut off your right arm. For the second strike, I will cut off your left arm. For the third and fourth strikes, I will cut off your left and right legs respectively."
If it was another person, they would definitely be frightened by Bai Yushan and beg for mercy. However, Chen Zong was unmoved. Bai Yushan's threat seemed so weak and powerless.
The other Qi Refining Realm martial artist stared at Chen Zong. Chen Zong's calmness made him secretly admire him. This was a martial artist with a very bright future. Unfortunately, no matter how bright he was, he didn't have enough background and support. If he went against the Bai Clan, only death would await him.
It had to be said that this was a kind of tragedy.
Although this was the True Martial Era and everyone was encouraged to practice martial arts, those who could survive and reach the peak were mostly people from influential forces, especially those big forces. After all, they had more resources, a better environment, and the protection of martial arts. It was often difficult for the geniuses among the commoners to rely on themselves.
Bai Yushan unsheathed the long sword at his waist. The body of the sword glowed with a green light. This was a treasured iron sword.
Not only were godly iron weapons extremely valuable, they were also relatively rare. Most Qi Refining Realm martial artists would find it difficult to obtain one. Even if they did, they might not have the strength to protect it.
When the sword was unsheathed, the green sword light was like a gust of wind, slashing towards Chen Zong's right arm. Just as Bai Yushan said, the first strike was to cut off Chen Zong's right arm.
Bai Yushan did not underestimate this strike, but he did not know Chen Zong's true strength.
"Kill!"
The moment the green sword light arrived, Chen Zong also unsheathed his sword.
The heart was there, the eyes were there, and the hands were there!
Heart, Eye, Hand, and Hand merged into one, forming a unique rhythm that spread out. The Fake Frost Stream Sword was unsheathed, turning into a flash of frost and snow that spread out. It was also like a bolt of frost lightning, extremely fast, exceeding Bai Yushan's reaction time.
Under the impetus of his Pure Yang Qi and blood, Chen Zong's sword was already extremely fast. Now that he had unleashed 30% of his physique and 30% of his Pure Yang Qi and blood to display the Extreme Flash Thunder Slayer Sword, coupled with the Heart, Eye, and Hand merged into one, the speed of the sword was so fast that it was frightening.
Bai Yushan was shocked, but it was already too late for him to dodge or defend. He could only watch as the bolt of frost and lightning swept through the air, chilling his entire body.
"Stop!" Not far away, the black-clothed masked man was horrified and furious. With a loud roar, all of his Inner Force burst out. His nimble body was like an arrow released from a bow, extremely fast, shooting towards Chen Zong. A short sword appeared in his hand, fiercely thrusting towards Chen Zong's sword.
However, distant water could not put out a nearby fire. Under this kind of sword speed, unless his speed was twice as fast, he would not be able to stop it.
"Kill!"
Bai Yushan was terrified to the extreme. Before he could even blink, the Flashing Thunder Slayer Sword had already pierced through the space between his eyebrows and through the back of his head. Immediately after, the dagger of the other Qi Refining stage martial artist arrived. He turned midway and made a prompt decision to attack Chen Zong.
Bai Yushan was killed, and it was too late to save him, so he could only kill Chen Zong.
Chen Zong exerted his strength, kicking Bai Yushan's body towards his opponent. He insisted on stabbing, but he could only stab Bai Yushan's body.
"You actually killed Young Master. You're dead meat. No one can save you from heaven or earth." The Qi Refining Realm martial artist's voice was incomparably cold, as if a gust of cold wind that was filled with murderous intent blew out from between his teeth, sending chills down one's spine.
"If you want to kill me, then you should be prepared to be killed by me." Chen Zong's expression was cold and solemn, his tone calm.
Bai Yushan's strength was indeed not bad. If it were any other Qi Refining Realm martial artist, even someone like Nangong Honglie, they would at most be able to resist for a while. They would not be a match for him, let alone kill Bai Yushan. However, Chen Zong was different. As a Qi Refining Realm martial artist, his strength had already surpassed all other Qi Refining Realm martial artists. In addition, he had the True Secret Sword Technique, Extreme Flash Thunder Slayer Sword, and a beginner three-in-one martial artist. Bai Yushan had not expected this. All these factors combined resulted in Bai Yushan's death.
He put down Bai Yushan's body. His eyes were wide open, and there was confusion and fear in the depths of his eyes.
"I'm going to kill you and avenge Young Master." The black-clothed masked man's tone grew colder, and his murderous intent grew stronger.
"I'll send you to accompany Bai Yushan." Chen Zong's eyes shone with a sharp light. He stabbed out with his sword. The light from the sword was extremely fast, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, but also like a wisp of cold autumn water.
Just now, when his opponent released his Inner Force, Chen Zong knew that his opponent's cultivation was at the First Transformation Realm of the Qi Refining Realm. However, he was much stronger than Bai Yushan. Chen Zong felt that he could fight, and he had to fight and kill this person. Otherwise, if his opponent brought the news back to the Bai Family, the Bai Family would definitely do everything possible to kill him. Perhaps the next opponent he would face would not be as simple as a Qi Refining Realm martial artist.
