On every level of the Inner Demon Cave, there was a room for the guardian. Outside the room was an empty space.
The ground was dark black and incomparably hard. It was countless times harder than steel. The surrounding cave walls were very rough and bumpy. Countless stones crisscrossed under the cave walls. From afar, it looked like a ferocious demon, frightening to the soul.
Such an environment was not good. It would make people feel oppressed after a long time.
Looking ahead, even with Chen Zong's amazing eyesight, he could only see darkness. It was like an endless abyss that stretched to an unknown place. It seemed like something extremely dangerous was lurking there. It contained great terror.
That was also the direction where the inner demon would appear.
However, the inner demon had not appeared yet.
"Chief Guardian, this place is very spacious. It should be enough for you to go all out," Ye Ming said with a smile.
"I'll give you three breaths to let you go all out." Chen Zong smiled. "This is also my advice to you."
Chen Zong's words puzzled everyone.
Where did he get his confidence from?
He had just broken through to the Origin Underworld Stage not long ago. It was estimated that he had only broken through to the Origin Underworld Stage in the past ten to twenty years. It was very difficult for a Origin Underworld Stage cultivator to improve. Ten to twenty years was nothing. Even the top geniuses had limited improvement.
This period of time was at most to convert the active potential after the breakthrough into strength. That was all.
Therefore, Chen Zong's combat strength was estimated to be at the Two-Star level, which was very shocking. It was even more shocking that he was only at the Three-Star level, which was almost impossible.
It was also because of this that Ye Tianming said that he would not use other external forces. He wanted to prevent Chen Zong from using some trump cards that did not belong to him.
Of course, this condition was mutual.
Although he did not believe that Chen Zong could threaten him, Ye Ming did not underestimate him at all. At the very least, he did not underestimate him in his actions. This was something that he had learned over the years. No matter what kind of opponent he faced, he could not underestimate them.
Even if the other party was not strong enough, he could not let his guard down. After all, he had already formed a habit. If he underestimated the other party because he felt that the other party was not strong enough, it might lead to the same thing the next time.
In an instant, he activated his cultivation technique and mobilized all the power of his mid-level Origin Underworld Stage cultivation base. A tyrannical aura also spread out, forming an extremely terrifying pressure that suppressed the surroundings. It caused all the aura around him to stop flowing as if it had been solidified.
The oppressive aura also spread out..
Vaguely, there were electric arcs flashing around Ye Ming. They unleashed terrifying power as if they were going to destroy everything.
The other three people, except for Chen Zong's expression......
In the next breath, Ye Ming's aura grew again. Layers of flames burned and surrounded him.
.....
............
There were a total of eight layers of illusory flames surrounding Ye Ming's body, burning continuously.
He had cultivated the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens of Heart technique to the eighth layer.
However, being able to cultivate to the eighth level of the 33 Layered Heavens of Intent at the mid-level of the Yuanming realm was already considered pretty good.
"Come on." After unleashing all of his power, Ye Ming's long hair danced in the wind while lightning raged in his eyes. He was extremely violent as he stared at the ground and shouted. The extremely hard ground beneath his feet sank at that moment. Layers of cracks appeared and spread rapidly within a ten-meter radius.
After Ye Ming was ready, Chen Zong's right hand landed lightly on the sword hilt. A brilliant glow that was hundreds of meters long shot out of his eyes as if it was tearing the darkness here apart.
He drew his sword!
There seemed to be a faint sword hum. At the same time, a ray of light suddenly bloomed from the scabbard.
The 13th level of the Primordial Sword Origin Technique was activated. The aura of a low-level Origin Underworld Stage also spread out.
The three people and Ye Ming felt relieved when they sensed Chen Zong's cultivation base aura. It was as if they were relieved.
Sure enough, his cultivation base was at the low-level Origin Underworld Stage. Furthermore, he should have just entered the low-level Origin Underworld Stage and had just consolidated his cultivation base.
With such a cultivation base, no matter how strong his combat strength was, it would be at most a three-star level. That was extremely shocking.
The sword was pulled out inch by inch. The aura condensed on Chen Zong's body also continued to rise, becoming increasingly tyrannical. A formless storm swept up in the surroundings, wreaking havoc. The extreme sharpness seemed to be able to cut everything into pieces, even the extremely hard ground was torn apart by cracks.
When the sword was half out of the scabbard, the sword light was so powerful that it was difficult to look directly at it.
Chen Zong's aura also became more tyrannical and condensed.
The power of his cultivation base was pushed to the extreme.
Then, a layer of illusory flames burned on Chen Zong's body.
The four people knew at a glance that Chen Zong had also used the Heart Flame Divine Ability.
In that case, what level has this kid cultivated the 33 Heavens of Will to now?
The level of Heart Flame was closely related to the strength of the mind power of the people in the Will Heavenly Palace. It was also a kind of talent.
The eighth level!
When the eighth level of illusory flames burned, the four people looked solemn.
He had the eighth level of Heart Flame at the low-level Origin Underworld Stage. This talent was much better than Ye Ming's.
However, the ninth level of illusory flames burned as well. Ye Ming and the others looked even more solemn.
When they saw the tenth level of illusory flames burn, the four of them were not solemn but shocked.
The tenth level of Heart Flame!
It meant that the tenth level of the Heart Flame Divine Ability had been completely cultivated and ten Heart Palaces had been forged.
Horrifying!
Extremely horrifying!
It was simply unheard of.
Staring at Ye Ming, who was a hundred meters away, Chen Zong had the confidence to win. The divine feeling in the unseen world gave him the confidence to win. One sword move was enough to defeat Ye Ming.
Therefore, Chen Zong did not intend to use the power of the Taichu Sword Origin Form.
When the tenth level of Heart Flame burned, the sword happened to be drawn from the scabbard. The moment the tip of the sword left the scabbard, Chen Zong waved his right hand. The speed of drawing the sword, which was originally slow, suddenly increased by countless times like lightning.
The three of them realized that their eyes seemed to have lost their function. They could not catch Chen Zong's sword move at all.
Even Ye Ming, who had stronger combat strength, could not catch it. His eyelids twitched.
"Lightning Wall!" In the face of danger, Ye Ming's reaction was extremely fast. He immediately exploded. Countless lightning flashed and condensed in front of him, forming a wall-like defense.
His goal was to block Chen Zong's sword move.
However, in the next breath, Ye Ming realized that he seemed to be naive.
An extremely powerful sword gleam arrived. The lightning wall only blocked it for a moment before it was pierced and penetrated.
The sharpness of the sword made Ye Ming feel that he could not resist at all. In front of this sword gleam, it was as if all defenses were useless.
Sword Technique of Heart Refinement: Sword Four!
The power of Sword Four with the Sword Dao Territory of 4,000 meters was extremely terrifying. It caused the sword's power to reach or even surpass the level of a top four-star combat strength. It was infinitely close to a five-star combat strength.
If Chen Zong unleashed the power of the Taichu Sword Origin Form, the sword's power would truly reach a five-star combat strength.
However, a sword with a top four-star combat strength was enough to deal with Ye Ming. Due to the characteristics of the Taichu Sword Origin, it was difficult to resist.
The moment the lightning wall was penetrated, Ye Ming seemed to have turned into a bolt of lightning. He was surrounded by countless lightning bolts and retreated quickly.
However, he was still a little too slow. Although he was fast, Chen Zong's sword was even faster.
At the critical moment, Chen Zong stopped. Otherwise, this sword might not be able to kill Ye Ming, but it would be enough to penetrate him.
As the sword returned to its scabbard, the extremely terrifying sharpness that seemed to be able to tear through space disappeared as well. It seemed to have been put back into the scabbard. The three people who were watching the battle could not help but breathe quickly. Their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.
"I've lost." When Ye Ming uttered those three words, his voice was extremely dry and shrill. It was as if the words were squeezed out from his throat. He was extremely shocked.
He had been defeated. Furthermore, he had used a secret technique to unleash all of his power. The sword penetrated the lightning wall. If he had not retreated in time, that sword would have penetrated his body as well.
Ye Ming did not sense that Chen Zong had held back a little at the critical moment. Otherwise, he would not have been able to dodge.
According to the bet, if Ye Ming was forced to retreat or be injured, he would be considered to have lost. However, his current position was a few dozen meters away from his previous position.
This meant that he had been forced to retreat.
Since he could not block that sword and retreated, he was considered to have been forced to retreat.
Tenfold Heart Fire!
Absolute combat strength!
That sword was definitely at the peak of four-star combat strength.
Ye Ming could only give up on the idea of becoming the town chief completely.
What a pity. He had only been here for a few decades. If he were to become the town chief, he would be able to serve for a few more decades. It would be enough for him to earn more merits. Now, he dared not have any extravagant hopes.
They were sincerely convinced!
Now, that was the only way to describe the four people's mentality. They were sincerely convinced by Chen Zong.
The law of the strong being respected was applicable no matter where one was.
With just one sword, Chen Zong had subdued the four of them. Of course, it would be beneficial for the next ten years. At the very least, there would not be any problems for him to worry about.
Naturally, he would have to do his best to guard the eighth level for ten years. He had to ensure that no inner demons would rush out.
Chen Zong glanced at them. His tone was like a breeze as he asked unhurriedly, "I've just arrived, so I don't know much about this. Who can tell me in detail?"
He walked toward the living room as he spoke.
"Yes, Town Chief." Ye Ming snapped back to his senses. He pulled himself together instinctively and responded quickly.
Next, Ye Ming was the main speaker while the other three supplemented. They told Chen Zong about the situation on the eighth level of the Inner Demon Cave so that he could have a more direct and deeper understanding of this place.
Currently, everything was peaceful. The inner demons would not appear all the time. They would only appear once in a while. However, there was actually no pattern to the exact interval.
Therefore, everyone was usually cultivating while observing to see if the inner demons would appear. If there were, the Early Warning Formation would send out a warning. By then, everyone would just have to make a move.
