The speed of Riding the Wind and Treading on Water was not slow. It allowed Chen Zong, who was only in the First Turn of the Qi Refining Realm, to display the speed of an ordinary Second Turn of the Qi Refining Realm martial artist in the Lower Class of the Earth Level. However, compared with the Third Turn of the Qi Refining Realm, there was still a big gap.
Gradually, the figures of Ma Xifeng and the other three turned into small black dots in front of Chen Zong and disappeared. It was not that Chen Zong did not want to catch up with them, but his speed was limited by the restriction of his cultivation.
"I must exchange for a more advanced cultivation method as soon as possible," Chen Zong said to himself.
The higher the level of the technique, the faster the cultivation speed, the faster the recovery of the inner strength. The inner strength cultivated would also be more vigorous and pure. It would also be easier to break through the bottleneck. All in all, a high level technique had many benefits.
Of course, the more advanced the cultivation method, the more difficult it would be to comprehend and cultivate. Only by mastering the cultivation method could one gain all kinds of benefits. Not all warriors were suitable to cultivate advanced cultivation methods.
The Black Saber Stockade was located on a nameless mountain in Mount Fulong. The mountain was more than 600 meters high. Because of the Black Saber Stockade, it was named Black Saber Mountain. Its shape looked like a thick black saber embryo.
When Chen Zong arrived, he saw a ground full of bodies with sword wounds. They should be the Black Saber Stockade's minions who were killed by Ma Xifeng and the other three.
"Hurry up." Chen Zong rushed to the Black Saber Mountain. If the Black Saber Stockade was wiped out, he would not get any sword merit points. It would be a waste of time.
When he was halfway up the mountain, he saw a black figure rushing down from the mountain. It was as fast as lightning, but it looked a little panicked.
Chen Zong saw it clearly with his outstanding eyesight.
It was a skinny middle-aged man with dark skin. He was also wearing a short black robe. His face was slightly pale, and he held a black machete in his right hand. There was a sawtooth on the back of the machete, which was very distinctive.
"Black Saber!" Chen Zong's eyes lit up.
According to the description of the mission, this person was most likely the chief of the Black Saber Stockade, Black Saber. He was also the most important target of this mission.
"Could it be that Black Blade is no match for Ma Xifeng and the other three, so he took the opportunity to escape?" Chen Zong's guess was very accurate.
Ma Xifeng and the other three relied on their powerful strength to kill their way into the Black Blade Stockade. The stockade master, Black Blade, the two deputy stockade masters, and the Eight Great Guardian Warriors naturally came to deal with them. However, the disciples of the Real Sword Academy were indeed very powerful, especially Zhou Hai and Ma Xifeng, who were ranked on the Iron Sword Ranking.
As soon as they made contact, one of the Vice Chief was killed, and four of the Eight Guardian Deities were killed as well. Seeing that the situation was not right, Black Blade rushed out, but Ma Xifeng's sword hit his back. He managed to avoid being hit in the vital parts, but he was still badly injured.
Fortunately, when he rushed out, he had activated the mechanism in the stronghold. For a moment, he was able to delay the four people and buy himself some time to escape.
"There's actually another one!" Black Knife also saw Chen Zong climbing up the mountain. At first, he was shocked, then his face became fierce. No matter what, he had to rush down the mountain to escape. Otherwise, he would die.
"Die!"
Black Blade raised the strange black scimitar in his hand. His inner strength was surging, and he slashed out fiercely. It was extremely fast, like a black crescent moon. It immediately brought Chen Zong great pressure.
He moved his feet and moved in all directions, avoiding Black Blade's attack.
"Haha, so it's only the first rotation of the Force Training Realm. Go to hell!" When Chen Zong performed the Four Extreme Steps, his inner strength was activated, and a trace of aura was naturally released. It was immediately sensed by Black Blade, who had experienced hundreds of battles. He sneered and was full of killing intent.
It was fine if the four disciples of the Real Sword Academy, who were in the third rotation of the Force Training Realm, came to kill him. He was no match for them, so he could only admit defeat and run. However, even a disciple in the first rotation of the Force Training Realm came. They clearly did not take him seriously.
However, Black Blade was also worried about the other four disciples of the Real Sword Academy, so he wanted to end this quickly.
"Black Blade Eight Cuts!"
The black scimitar emitted a shocking black blade light, and it instantly slashed towards Chen Zong. In the blink of an eye, there were eight slashes, coming from all directions. Each slash contained a terrifying power that could kill a disciple in the third rotation of the Force Training Realm.
This move was Black Blade's ultimate move. Once it was used, it immediately cut off the opponent's escape route. He could only take it head-on.
Black Blade knew that Chen Zong was only in the first rotation of the Force Training Realm, so he did not want to be entangled with him. He was afraid that the other four would catch up. He also believed that Chen Zong, who was only in the first rotation of the Force Training Realm, would not be able to block his ultimate move.
Chen Zong would not take it head-on, and it would be difficult for him to dodge. However, that did not mean that he was helpless.
He had already practiced up to the thirteenth move of the Severing Wind Swordsmanship. He had already mastered the mysteries of the Severing Wind Swordsmanship.
Cut off!
The Severing Wind Swordsmanship was only a superficial move. Cutting off the opponent's attack was the real mystery.
Of course, not all attacks could be cut off. There was a limit to everything. If the attack was too much beyond one's strength, one would not be able to shake it off.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong put his mind, eyes, and hands together and stabbed ten times at the same place. These ten swords were the first to the tenth move of the Severing Wind Swordsmanship. They looked orderly and had a very unique charm.
Under the ten swords, the connection between the two black blade lights was immediately broken. Chen Zong took a step forward and shuttled through the gap like a gust of wind. He was unscathed. The Fake Frost Sword shook, and the sword light cut through the air like snow and frost, rippling the water.
"Severing Wind Thirteen Strikes!"
The first move was the ultimate move of the Severing Wind Swordsmanship. It was the most powerful move. Thirteen sword lights pierced through the air, making a sharp sound.
The Eight Strikes of the Black Blade were very powerful. Black Blade thought that he would definitely be able to kill his opponent. However, not only did his opponent successfully escape, he was also unscathed. What's more, he displayed a terrifying swordsmanship. The thirteen sword lights were so sharp that he felt like his whole body was covered by them.
"Don't even think about it!" With a roar, Black Blade waved, and the black blade light covered his whole body.
Under the full attack, the sword wound on his back was affected. It was very painful, but Black Blade's expression did not change. This kind of injury was completely bearable for him, who had experienced hundreds of battles.
However, the thirteen extremely sharp sword lights disappeared after a flicker. It was actually a feint.
By the time Black Saber reacted, the black saber light was about to converge into one and attack with all its might. However, Black Saber suddenly felt an intense sense of danger. Without hesitation, Black Saber immediately retreated.
A sword light suddenly appeared and bloomed in front of him. It was Chen Zong's sword. It was the first move of the Severing Wind Swordsmanship, the Silent Wind Chant.
If it was a Second Turn of the Qi Refining Realm, he would have died under this move.
"Go after him!"
"We can't let him escape!"
"He's the key to this mission."
The voices of Zhou Hai and the others came closer and closer.
Black Blade knew it was the four disciples of the Real Sword Academy who were approaching.
"Get out of here, or I'll kill you." Black Blade threatened Chen Zong. Chen Zong's answer was to draw his sword. The frost-like sword light covered the surroundings and stabbed at Black Blade. Every sword light gave Black Blade the feeling that his escape route had been cut off.
"Go to hell!" Black Blade was furious. He directly used the Black Blade Swordsmanship's killer move.
His inner force was turbulent. The black blade light suddenly expanded and became a black blade more than a meter long. It slashed out fiercely. Wherever it passed, it seemed like even a mountain would be split open.
"So powerful!" Chen Zong's expression changed slightly. This blade made him feel the threat of death.
However, this saber was extremely fast and carried a very terrifying saber pressure. Before the saber light arrived, the saber pressure made Chen Zong feel suffocated. It was as if his entire body was about to be split in half by the terrifying saber pressure and then crushed. His entire body was very oppressive, and the air seemed to have condensed into mountain rocks.
Even the other Third Turn of the Qi Refining Realm cultivators would not dare to say that they could withstand such a blade.
Under the pressure of life and death, the Positive Elemental Force was activated at an astonishing speed. It was faster than before. In his mind, all kinds of mysteries emerged. They were all enlightenment.
Pure Yang Qi and blood surged and his physique shook. Immediately, the Pure Yang Qi, blood, and physique combined with his inner force burst out.
"Extreme Flash Thunder Sword!"
Following his enlightenment, Chen Zong swung his sword. This sword was extremely powerful. It was like a thunderbolt that tore the sky apart and destroyed all obstacles.
Under the bright lightning, the black blade light stopped as soon as it touched. Time seemed to have frozen. It felt like a long time had passed, but also like a moment. The black blade light shattered, and so did the lightning sword light.
Black Blade kept retreating. Chen Zong could not stop himself from retreating. However, as Chen Zong retreated, his footsteps crisscrossed and performed the Eight Directions Four Pole Steps. As if retreating was a way to advance, he put his mind, eyes, and hands together and stabbed Black Blade with his sword.
Unable to dodge, Black Blade raised his scimitar to defend himself. However, he was one step too late. Chen Zong's sword pierced through his heart.
"You go to hell too!" Black Blade was stunned at first. His face was filled with disbelief. It was hard to imagine that he would be killed by a First Turn of the Qi Refining Realm martial artist. However, a Third Turn of the Qi Refining Realm martial artist had a strong vitality. Even if his heart was pierced, he would not die instantly. Before his death, Black Blade ferociously slashed towards Chen Zong.
Chen Zong immediately withdrew his sword and retreated. At the same time, he waved his sword to defend himself. He flew backward and spat out a mouthful of blood. He had suffered internal injuries.
He had used up almost all of his inner strength to perform the Flashing Thunder Slaying Sword at the last moment of danger. Then, he performed the Eight-directional Four Extremities Steps to stab with his sword. His inner strength was completely depleted. Black Saber's counterattack before his death had immediately injured him.
However, under the Leakless Body, his self-healing ability had been greatly enhanced. Chen Zong quickly took out a Strength Recovery Pill that he had exchanged for. It was the same price as the Qi Refining Pill. It cost 10 Sword Merit Points.
Black Blade fell to the ground and died. Chen Zong immediately put away his black scimitar. Then, he quickly searched Black Blade's clothes and found a stack of notes, a secret manual, and a bottle of pills. These were not required to be handed over. They were Chen Zong's spoils of war.
However, when Chen Zong searched for the spoils of war, Ma Xifeng and the other three had almost arrived. They just happened to see this scene.
"Stop!" Zhou Hai immediately shouted, "Chen Zong, those things are not for you to take."
Chen Zong just glanced at him indifferently and put the spoils of war into his clothes.
Previously, Ma Xifeng and the other three had made it clear that they would not let him get the Sword Merit Points. Since that was the case, it was only natural that he killed Black Blade and kept the spoils of war.
