Even a demigod general couldn't do anything to Chen Zong. Instead, he was forced to retreat. For a moment, the elder's son was at his wit's end. He didn't know what to do.
Beside him, the advisor, Goatee, also frowned and thought hard.
Inviting Philo to help had already cost them most of their wealth. With the remaining resources, they could invite more experts, but they definitely couldn't invite a demigod general.
Moreover, looking at Philo's situation, they were sure that even if they were lucky enough to invite another demigod general, they might not be able to do anything to him. That was because the opponent was also very strong. He seemed to be at the demigod general level.
Unless they could invite two or three demigod general-level experts, or even a top demigod general-level expert.
Demigod general was a general term. There was no clear ranking. However, in everyone's knowledge, demigod generals were divided into ordinary and top demigod generals.
Top demigod generals were closer to the Divine Generals Ranking. They were much stronger than ordinary demigod generals.
However, top demigod generals were even harder to invite. If there were no special circumstances, they would have no chance at all.
Of course, the best thing would be to invite a real expert from the Divine Generals Ranking. Unfortunately, the universe was so big. There were only nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people on the Divine Generals Ranking. If they were spread out, they would become very sparse. It was very difficult to even meet one, let alone meet one. If they wanted to invite one, the price would be immeasurable.
What should they do?
Should they just give up like this? Give up the fight for the successor position?
Impossible!
They had put in so much effort and paid such a big price. How could they just give up like this? Otherwise, everything would be in vain and they would suffer great losses.
At this time, Philo had also finished adjusting his breath. However, his face was still a bit pale. Because in the end, Chen Zong stabbed him. Fortunately, he dodged fast enough and quickly retreated. That was why he wasn't killed, but he was still injured.
He couldn't accept this!
Philo was very unwilling. He didn't want to give up just like this.
"Don't worry. Since I've taken your benefits, I'll do it again if I fail." Philo's slightly pale face showed a grim smile. "I'm going to invite someone. Wait for my news."
Hearing Philo's words, the Great Elder's son and Goatee's face lit up.
Philo was a demigod general. If he wanted to invite someone, he must be at least a demigod general. If the two demigod generals joined hands, they would definitely be able to kill that person.
In the worst case scenario, they could stall him and then kill Na Zhen. After all, their initial and final goal was to kill Na Zhen and seize the position of successor.
Fei Luo left, going to ask for help. Great Elder's son could only hope that Fei Luo could hurry back before that person really reached the family island, intercept and kill him.
…
On the Heaven Beacon, Chen Zong's injuries had completely healed, and so had his strength. Moreover, his cultivation had reached the peak of the high-level Divine Aspect Realm. He was only a step away from breaking through to the high-level Divine Aspect Realm.
Although the battle with Philo was extremely difficult and dangerous, and he had almost been killed, his gains were also very shocking.
When one's cultivation reached the peak of the high level of the Divine Phase Realm, the next step would be to break through to the peak of the Divine Phase Realm. At that time, one's strength would increase a bit more.
But the greatest gain was the breakthrough in his basic sword techniques.
The breakthrough in basic sword techniques brought about shocking significance. It was an increase in the level of sword techniques, and also a deeper level of integration of the power of the Great Path. It surpassed the integration of superposition, and its power would be even more powerful and shocking.
But now, he was only at the beginning. He had only scratched the surface and crossed the threshold. There was still a long way to go.
Chen Zong would sometimes meditate in his room, and sometimes he would go to the deck to practice his sword techniques.
This swordsmanship looked like a Basic Swordsmanship, but it contained a mysterious and indescribable feeling. However, Na Zhen and the others could not understand it. In their eyes, this swordsmanship was still like a Basic Swordsmanship, but it was more profound.
But that was because Na Zhen and the others' martial arts attainments weren't high enough. If a demigod general expert was here, they would definitely be very surprised.
Ignoring the others, Chen Zong was completely immersed in the cultivation of Heart Sword.
Now, the Heart Sword was only at the beginning. It couldn't even be considered a beginner. Above it, there were still levels of beginner, small success, great success, and perfection.
The improvement of each level was focused on the degree of integration of the power of the Great Path. As for the sword technique, there wasn't much progress. After all, Chen Zong had already cultivated basic sword techniques to the extreme.
Compared to basic sword techniques, the difference was in the application of the power of the Great Path.
With the sword in hand, one's mind was integrated. It felt as if the sword was one's heart, and one's perception of the surroundings had reached a new height.
The sword moved according to one's heart. It was not only fast, but also extremely flexible. Moreover, it was as if everything around was under one's control. The sword light could kill anywhere.
Unfortunately, there was no suitable opponent.
Chen Zong thought of the small sword blade.
It had been a while since his consciousness entered the small sword blade, because it was difficult to break through. But now, he could give it another try.
After returning to the room and closing the door again, Chen Zong immediately took out the small sword blade and focused on one of the sword patterns.
This time, in just three short breaths, Chen Zong felt that the patterns on the small sword blade seemed to come alive. His consciousness was also pulled directly into it in an instant.
It seemed that the preliminary understanding of the Great Path sword technique had made it easier for Chen Zong's consciousness to enter the small sword blade.
Thousands of sword-wielding figures stood there. As Chen Zong appeared, one of them immediately attacked.
End the battle quickly!
Chen Zong used his sword technique and killed his opponent directly.
Kill, kill, kill!
Many times in the past, Chen Zong was killed after killing the 999th person. In the process, he was inevitably injured again and again.
But this time, it was different.
Chen Zong directly used the Heart Sword technique. Although it was only a superficial level and hadn't reached the beginner level, it gave Chen Zong an extraordinary perception of the surroundings.
That was the perception of the heart. It was as if the heart replaced the eyes and saw through everything.
This perception, combined with the Heart Sword technique, seemed to be pushed to a higher level and even more amazing.
There were figures all around. Sword light flashed, and the killing intent was faintly discernible, but it kept coming. It seemed that Chen Zong would be directly pierced through in an instant like a hornet's nest, but Chen Zong's body was like a willow, and his steps were like clouds. It seemed that there was no pattern to speak of. Everything was moving according to his heart.
His heart was like a floating cloud, drifting in all directions. His heart was like a cloud, changing constantly.
All the sword light that came from all around missed. It was a very strange feeling. While Chen Zong avoided the sword light of the figures holding swords around him, he kept waving his sword to match his figure and steps. He performed the Unity of Body and Sword to the extreme.
Kill, kill, kill!
One sword strike, one kill, one kill.
Soon, the number of sword-wielding figures that died under Chen Zong's sword exceeded nine hundred and gradually approached nine hundred and ninety-nine.
However, Chen Zong was not hurt at all. Compared to before, he was much better.
Because from the beginning until now, Chen Zong had been seriously injured. Otherwise, he would not have been killed.
That he was not hurt was undoubtedly a very good sign. Perhaps this time, there was hope to crack the secret contained in this small sword blade.
The 999th figure holding swords was killed by Chen Zong. Chen Zong was still not hurt. The Heart Sword technique was more amazing than he had imagined.
It was not only the integration of the power of the Great Path, but also the improvement of the realm.
In terms of technique, it was still the same, but it had a higher realm and was more thorough in its application.
The 1,000th figure holding swords was killed!
There were not many figures holding swords left.
Although Chen Zong was not hit by the sword and kept fighting back, he still felt very tired. However, Chen Zong was so tenacious that he could continue to hold on.
Perhaps, as long as he killed all the figures holding swords, he could crack the secret.
Of course, this small sword blade might not contain any secret. It was just a practice of swordsmanship.
Chen Zong did not know what was going on. Anything was possible. He would have to wait until all the sword-wielding figures were killed before he could find out.
One!
Two!
Three!
One by one, the figures holding swords were defeated by the sword. In the end, there were less than ten figures holding swords left.
Chen Zong held a sword in his hand. Although he felt very tired, he also had an indescribable motivation.
Kill!
His figure flashed, and his Heart Sword was as one. Like a flash of lightning, he attacked in an instant.
The nine figures holding swords also burst out an amazing killing intent. Sword light broke through the air and came from all directions, as if aiming at Chen Zong's weakness.
However, in that instant, Chen Zong's figure and footsteps merged into one. He was like a streak of flowing light, yet also like a piece of floating cloud. He dodged in an instant, shuttling through the opponent's sure-kill sword light. The sword light streaked past like wings.
Kill!
Eight!
Seven!
Six!
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
Standing with his sword in hand, Chen Zong's face was a little tired, but there was also some indescribable excitement and a sense of accomplishment.
More than a thousand figures holding swords were finally killed. It took a lot of time and energy to do so.
In that case, what exactly was the mystery behind all of this?
Or was there no secret?
Immediately, strands of sword Qi permeated the air, rising up from the ground. Under Chen Zong's vigilant gaze, there were over a thousand strands of sword Qi, which was the same as the number of sword-wielding figures from before.
Over a thousand strands of Sword Qi shot out in the same direction, colliding with each other. However, they did not disperse. Instead, they intertwined, fused, and slowly expanded. In the end, a figure condensed from Sword Qi appeared before Chen Zong.
The figure didn't look very clear, but Chen Zong could still make out the figure's appearance clearly.
It was an old man with an ordinary appearance. If he was placed in a crowd, it would be difficult for him to attract attention. However, his appearance meant that he was not ordinary. Chen Zong would not underestimate him in the slightest.
The old man made of Sword Qi looked at Chen Zong. His eyes were shining as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong.
