(Second Update)
Swoosh!
On Chen Zong's back, his sword robe was torn apart. With a flash of light, the Heart Seal Treasure Robe blocked the attack of the sharp claws. However, there were still traces of sharp and fierce claws that penetrated the Heart Seal Treasure Robe and invaded his body.
The claw force was vicious and insidious, like a poisonous bug that could penetrate through any opening. Even with Chen Zong's strong physique, he couldn't completely resist it. He felt the claw force constantly drilling into his body, as if it wanted to tear his strong physique apart.
The Taichu Sword Essence shook and instantly turned into a sharp sword, attacking the claws.
The claws were very condensed, showing the Third Commander's shocking power. After hundreds of years of hard work and some opportunities, he had forged such a strong power.
Because his Flower of the Ultimate Realm had reached the perfect level, it was difficult for him to break through the Spirit Realm. He could only work on his own strength and martial arts.
He strived to be more refined and stronger.
Difficult to deal with. The Third Commander was very strong. His overall fighting strength wasn't inferior to that of the Desolate Dragon King, but he was more of a threat. Because he was a human, he had extraordinary intelligence, exquisite martial arts and skills, and he was also very agile. All of these were things that the Desolate Dragon King couldn't compare to.
In comparison, the Third Commander was a bigger threat to Chen Zong.
In the beginning, the two of them were evenly matched. Chen Zong pretended to be defeated and wanted to escape, but the Third Commander didn't give up. Now, they were far away from the underground cave.
At one point, Chen Zong suppressed the Third Commander and cut open the Third Commander's chest. He was almost cut in half.
However, in the next breath, the wound quickly wriggled and closed at a shocking speed. In just three breaths, it was completely healed.
With such amazing self-healing ability, Chen Zong fell into a difficult battle.
In the end, the Third Commander seemed to have activated the power of his bloodline. His whole body changed greatly. His hands seemed to have merged with the claws, and there were traces of patterns under his skin that looked like snake scales. His speed increased a few times, and he became more agile, more agile, and more unpredictable.
The pressure on Chen Zong increased greatly, and he was gradually attacked.
Fortunately, he had the protection of the Heart Seal Treasure Robe. Otherwise, he would have been torn apart.
Of course, the Heart Seal Treasure Robe was also a kind of strength. After all, it was obtained by chance.
A cultivator's strength was comprehensive. There was internal strength and external strength. Internal strength was the strength that completely belonged to oneself. It was the strength that accompanied one's growth or obtained through cultivation. It was a fundamental strength that would never be outdated.
External powers such as weapons, armors, pills, and so on would all become obsolete and would only be available for a certain period of time.
However, no matter what, a cultivator's strength was composed of internal and external forces. Usually, the internal force was the main force, while the external force was secondary.
Refraction!
The Third Commander, who seemed to have turned into a snake-man, was astonishingly fast. His movements were extremely mysterious. He refracted several times in the void, completely out of Chen Zong's control.
He couldn't see it!
He couldn't even hear it. It was hard to catch it.
Chen Zong clearly felt an attack coming from behind him. Moreover, there was a sharp and ruthless claw energy piercing through the air towards him. However, when Chen Zong dodged, he discovered that it was just a fake. A fake that could pass for real.
The real attack came from the front. His chest was instantly torn apart. Fortunately, the Heart Seal Treasure Robe blocked it.
That was the third time he was attacked.
However, Chen Zong didn't suffer any injuries. Even the poisonous claw force that invaded his body was wiped out by the Taichu Sword Essence.
The Third Commander seemed to be very clear about this. He didn't want to fight Chen Zong in close combat. Instead, he madly used his advantage. This was an extremely strange movement technique. It was impossible to capture his movements. Even his aura became incomparably strange.
"If that's the case …" A thought flashed through Chen Zong's mind. He closed his eyes and even his eardrums.
Since he couldn't use his eyes to catch his opponent's movement technique and couldn't use his ears to distinguish it, he didn't need to.
When he closed his eyes, his vision fell into darkness. He couldn't see anything.
When his eardrums were closed, all sound disappeared. He couldn't hear anything.
When his sense of smell was closed, all smell disappeared.
Closed!
Chen Zong actually closed his five senses on his own.
There was no doubt that the feeling of closing his five senses was very uncomfortable. It was as if he had fallen into the abyss of death. He couldn't hear, see, or smell anything. Everything disappeared. Everything was gone. Everything returned to nothingness. He felt like he was going to lose his soul.
What did death feel like?
Chen Zong had experienced it before, and he had truly experienced it.
It was even more terrifying than closing his five senses. Therefore, Chen Zong actually didn't feel uncomfortable after closing his five senses on his own.
Of course, Chen Zong wouldn't do such a thing if he wasn't confident. That was equivalent to putting his neck under the enemy's blade. It was suicidal.
It could be said that the benefits brought to Chen Zong by merging his body with heaven and earth and his heart into nature were astonishing.
When his five senses were closed, his sixth sense was instantly enhanced to the extreme and broke through the limit.
It was a kind of perception that was located in the heart. He expanded it and covered his surroundings.
In an instant, it was as if an eye had opened in his heart. He stared at everything within a radius of ten meters with his body as the center. Gradually, the darkness receded and became blurry.
The blur slowly became clear, like the color of the sky in the early morning.
Clear!
Increasingly clear!
In just a short moment, all the blur disappeared and was replaced by clarity. It was as if he was staring at it with his eyes.
A radius of ten meters!
Within a radius of ten meters with his body as the center, everything became extremely clear. It was better than before. Because he was "looking" with his heart.
Looking with his heart was called the Mind's Eye.
As far as the Mind's Eye could see, it wasn't just the surface of the void. Chen Zong even saw traces of veins under the surface of the void. Those were the veins between Heaven and Earth. They contained the mysteries of Heaven and Earth and the mysteries of Dao.
Although it was only a radius of ten meters and the veins were very blurry and indistinct, Chen Zong was secretly surprised and excited.
He wouldn't have been able to see this in the past.
All of a sudden, he sensed something. His Mind's Eye saw a blurry gray shadow appear within a radius of ten meters with an astonishing speed. It seemed to appear out of thin air.
It seemed to appear out of thin air, but Chen Zong had caught it. It wasn't from thin air. Instead, it was from an extremely fast speed and a brilliant movement art. In a blink of an eye, the shadow had appeared within a radius of ten meters, as if it could travel through space. It was very mysterious and strange.
It was the Third Commander of the Desolate Dragon Star Bandit Group.
Just now, he couldn't see anything with his eyes. But now, with the Mind's Eye, he could see something.
The Third Commander appeared within a radius of ten meters around Chen Zong. However, he didn't launch an attack right away. Instead, he performed his movement art again. In a blink of an eye, he appeared on the other side like a refraction of light.
It was fast, sudden, and strange. That refraction happened without any sign. It was hard to see what it was.
However, at that moment, Chen Zong's Mind's Eye caught a trace of it. It happened to fit one of the many blurry traces within the radius of ten meters.
Kill!
After several refractions, the Third Commander finally launched an attack.
Chen Zong brandished his sword and blocked the Third Commander's sure-kill attack as if he was blessed with good fortune.
The sharp claw and the Purple Thunder Sword clashed, causing countless sparks to shoot out in all directions.
"Impossible!" The Third Commander opened his eyes wide. He couldn't believe it.
His attack was blocked.
It must be a coincidence.
His body flashed and disappeared again. Then, he appeared in another place.
Chen Zong couldn't "see" anything more than ten meters away from him. But once he was ten meters away from him, he could capture it and gradually grasp its trace.
Chen Zong's great power of understanding enabled him to keep deducing and simulating.
In a blink of an eye, the Third Commander appeared within a radius of ten meters again. His body flashed and split into two. They looked so real that it was hard to tell the real one from the fake one. They refracted and jumped, appearing in front of and behind Chen Zong.
"Now is the time." A thought suddenly exploded in Chen Zong's mind. He ignored the figure in front of him. His body didn't even turn, but the Purple Thunder Sword suddenly left his right hand. In a flash, it turned into a purple thunderbolt, bursting out with unparalleled speed.
Kill!
The sword seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and space-time. Following an inexplicable trace, it coincided with a vague trace within ten meters. That trace seemed to light up in an instant, shining with amazing light. It overlapped with the sword radiance of the Purple Thunder Sword, further increasing the speed of the sword.
It was too sudden. The sword radiance flashed like a thunderbolt. The Third Commander, who was in front of Chen Zong, paused for a moment. Then, like a cloud of gray smoke, the Third Commander, who was about to attack from behind, also paused. His chest was completely pierced, and his heart was minced by the Sword Qi.
However, the Third Commander didn't die directly. His power flowed backward. He wanted to explode himself and take Chen Zong down with him.
Slash!
The thunderbolt sword radiance suddenly exploded, bursting out with unparalleled power. It was overbearing and violent, and it directly blasted down.
The Third Commander's thin body was smashed by the violent thunderbolt sword radiance.
Chen Zong reached out and grabbed the storage ring that flew out.
The Purple Thunder Sword spun in the air and returned to its scabbard. The area within ten meters quickly became blurry and dim, returning to darkness.
Chen Zong's body swayed. He opened his eyes. Deep in his eyes, there was a tiredness that couldn't be dispelled.
The effect of the Mind's Eye was amazing, but so was the consumption of the mind. It didn't last long, but it made him feel as if his mind's power was almost depleted. He felt weak from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of weakness was different from the weakness of the essence, qi, and spirit. It couldn't be replenished by elixirs. It could only be recovered slowly.
After landing, Chen Zong stood still and took the initiative to guide the recovery of his mind. Fortunately, his mind was extremely strong, and he had the Mind Sword Will, so the recovery speed was relatively fast.
The aura of the battle that had erupted here was extremely shocking. All the wild beasts in the surroundings had already fled, so there was no danger.
Of course, Chen Zong didn't stay for long. It wouldn't be good if a stronger wild beast came.
