There were two people on the Life and Death Ring. One was Chen Zong of the Xin Feng Army, and the other was Qi Shu of the Tianying Tower.
The killing intent in Qi Shu's eyes became more and more condensed and intense, as if he was going to pierce through Chen Zong. His killing intent was earth-shattering, and his killing intent surged like a tide. His Primordial Spirit Dharma Form also appeared in an instant.
"It's time for you to die." As soon as Qi Shu finished speaking, he extended a finger. A jet-black strand of energy condensed at the tip of his finger and shot out. It was as swift as an aurora of darkness, extremely sharp and capable of piercing through everything.
Chen Zong did not draw his sword. Instead, he activated his two Divine Forms and moved his feet slightly to avoid Qi Shu's finger energy. The finger energy pierced through the air, but it instantly circled around and attacked from the side.
The finger energy was sharp and swift, and it had the determination to not give up until it hit Chen Zong.
Qi Shu pointed his finger like a sword and suddenly waved it. Sword Qi burst out, and the sword light was dazzling. It was like a heavenly strike that directly hit the finger energy, and it immediately dispersed.
Qi Shu was not surprised. Since his opponent could kill Ying Que, he was definitely not weak. There was no way he could be killed by a single finger attack. What came next was his real move.
With a flick of his ten fingers, streaks of finger force tore through the air. The power condensed in each finger force was more than twice as strong as the previous one. They all shot towards Chen Zong in a straight line or in an arc. Moreover, their auras were locked on, making it impossible for Chen Zong to dodge.
His sword was unsheathed in an instant. The sword light flashed, and it was extremely domineering. He used his Perfect World Sword Technique, and the power of a peak fifth-level Ao Wu was fully displayed.
Shattered!
The finger energy was immediately shattered by Chen Zong.
Qi Shu's strength was at the Ultimate Realm, and so was Chen Zong. However, Chen Zong's true strength was at the Pseudo Ultimate Realm.
The reason why Chen Zong did not use his full strength to kill Qi Shu was that he wanted to see Qi Shu's abilities and methods.
After failing to defeat Chen Zong the second time, Qi Shu's expression darkened and he attacked for the third time.
This time, the Seven Arts unleashed all of their power, including secret techniques. Above them, the wind and clouds surged, turning into a dark aura that spread out. The howling sound of the wind could be heard, as if a sinister wind was howling.
The nether wind vortex was a thousand meters wide. As it spun wildly, it seemed to devour everything. The center of the vortex seemed to lead to the abyss of hell.
Chen Zong only felt that he had been locked in place by the nether wind vortex. This kind of locking in place was like a ghost from hell staring at him.
Then, from the thousand-meter-wide vortex of chilly wind, a huge black finger pierced through everything, as if it was the finger of a giant ghost. It pierced through the vortex of chilly wind and came out from the depths of the abyss of hell. It blasted toward Chen Zong with thunderous force.
Chen Zong's expression suddenly became serious, and his sense of crisis reached its peak in an instant.
The power of this finger was astonishing. It was enough to threaten his life, but it was only a threat.
Slash of Heavenly Wind!
In an instant, Chen Zong slashed out with his sword. The dark cyan sword light was extremely overbearing. The Ninefold Mixed Killing Secret Technique was used. Nine sword shadows followed, looking dazzling.
The sword light broke through the air, more than a hundred meters long. Although it was a bit smaller than the dark finger, it was even more overbearing.
Slash!
Under the sword, there was an earth-shattering collision. The terrifying power spread out in all directions.
The giant finger was immediately cut open. The sword shadow pierced through the air, mercilessly attacking Qi Shu.
Qi Shu's eyes widened in disbelief, but he couldn't resist or dodge.
"Stop!"
The faces of the people from the Sky Shadow Tower changed. They all stood up and unleashed their overbearing power, wanting to rush to the Life and Death Ring to save Qi Shu. However, the Life and Death Ring had activated a protective shield. The shield was strong enough to withstand the attack of a Super Realm expert. Even some experts on the Divine General Ranking would find it difficult to break it, let alone them.
Kill!
The sword light dissipated, and the sword shadow disappeared without a trace. Chen Zong sheathed his sword and reached out to grab the storage device on Qi Shu's wrist. He turned around and walked out of the Life and Death Ring.
Qi Shu didn't seem to notice that his storage device had been taken away. He stood there motionless like a wooden man. His eyes stared straight ahead. His eyes dimmed, and his vitality was quickly draining away.
The sword had cut him in half. It looked bloody.
"You deserve to die!"
"How dare you kill someone from the Sky Shadow Tower? How dare you!"
"You're dead."
The people from the Sky Shadow Tower saw Chen Zong walk out of the Life and Death Ring and immediately rushed over. They were filled with killing intent, but they didn't attack. Not far away, there was a fourth level expert watching them. He was one of the people in charge of the Life and Death Ring. He was from the royal family of the Mystical Light Dynasty.
If they attacked, it would be tantamount to breaking the rules. The fourth level expert would also attack and capture or even kill them without hesitation.
"Then let's go to the Life and Death Ring." Chen Zong's gaze swept across the three people from the Sky Shadow Tower. His eyes were extremely sharp as he spoke directly.
"You …" Hearing this, the three people were stunned. They had already seen Chen Zong's strength. He was in the Final Realm, and even at the top of the Final Realm. They weren't confident, so they certainly wouldn't throw their lives away like Qi Shu.
"Remember, you won't live long after killing someone from the Sky Shadow Tower." One of them pointed at Chen Zong and spoke harshly. After that, the other two turned around and left angrily.
"Chen Zong, I didn't expect you to be so strong. You're a Qi Cultivator and Body Cultivator at the same time. That's amazing." Wu Liu strode over and slapped Chen Zong on the shoulder, making a sound like a drum. He was very happy and excited.
The other team members also did the same.
This was unexpected.
Originally, they thought that Chen Zong was in the Lower Realm. They didn't expect him to be in the Final Realm. Moreover, judging from his strength, he seemed to be at the top of the Final Realm. His swordsmanship was amazing.
This was definitely a good thing for their team. It meant that the team's overall strength would become stronger.
"Chen Zong killed a rat from the Sky Shadow Tower. With their way of doing things, they definitely won't let this go," Huan Ming said with a frown. Huan Ming said with a frown. Soon after, he stared at Chen Zong and said, "You have just arrived. Perhaps you are not clear about the Heaven Shadow Tower's way of doing things. The Heaven Shadow Tower will do whatever it takes to get rid of anyone who goes against them. Even if they are from the Trade Wind Army, they may not attack us openly but they will definitely assassinate us secretly."
"After we go back, report this matter and let the leader know," Wu Liu said.
It wasn't the first time that the Sky Shadow Tower and the Wind Shadow Tower had clashed. Some people had been assassinated by the Sky Shadow Tower before. They were quite familiar with the Sky Shadow Tower's way of doing things.
Chen Zong had killed a member of the Sky Shadow Tower in the Life and Death Arena. Hence, the Sky Shadow Tower would definitely seek revenge. It was only a matter of time. Chen Zong naturally took Huan Ming and Wu Liu's words to heart. However, he wasn't so afraid that he would tremble.
What would come would come sooner or later. This time, even if he showed mercy and didn't kill Qi Shu, this person would definitely not let this go. He would definitely come and find trouble again.
Killing him would solve the problem once and for all. As for the trouble that would follow, it was another matter.
There were some troubles that couldn't be avoided even if you wanted to. You could only bear with it and solve it.
Due to the disturbance from the Sky Shadow Tower, everyone's gathering came to an end. They quickly left the Life and Death Arena and returned to the Sky Shadow Tower.
The Sky Shadow Tower was a name. It didn't refer to a tower. In fact, there were many towers.
The leader of the third team was a top Fourth Realm expert. After hearing Wu Liu's report, he didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he glanced around and his gaze fell on Chen Zong. At that moment, Chen Zong felt as if he had been seen through. However, this feeling only lasted for a fleeting moment.
"You're Chen Zong. Did you come from the Tianlin Kingdom's third-level tower?" The leader asked. His voice carried an indescribable power.
"Yes." Chen Zong didn't bow and scrape. Instead, he replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. His one word contained indescribable power and sharpness.
"What's your purpose here?" The leader asked again.
"To become a warship guard," Chen Zong replied unhurriedly.
"Warship guard, huh?" The leader nodded imperceptibly. "You're not bad. However, you have to be careful. During this period of time, try not to leave the Sky Shadow Tower. The Sky Shadow Tower will definitely find a chance to assassinate you. However, no matter how despicable they are, they won't send out experts above the Third Realm. Remember, you have to survive to have a chance to become a warship guard."
"Okay," Chen Zong replied.
"Okay. If there's nothing else, you can leave first." The leader asked them to leave.
He was the leader of the third team of the third battalion. He had to deal with many affairs normally. Besides, his own cultivation also took a lot of time. It was a race against time. Of course, he didn't want to waste his time for no reason.
"For the next period of time, you can stay in the Sky Shadow Tower." Wu Liu said, "No matter how bold the Sky Shadow Tower is, they won't dare to enter our Sky Shadow Tower and kill people."
This was true. The Sky Shadow Tower was guarded and patrolled by the Sky Shadow Army. Without permission, even a Fifth Realm King would have a hard time sneaking in.
No matter how unscrupulous the Sky Shadow Tower was, they wouldn't send a Fifth Realm King to assassinate Chen Zong. They wouldn't even send a Fourth Realm King.
This was also an invisible rule.
There were only seven years left before the Sky Crossing Divine Ship would be activated. Before that, he would just stay in the Sky Shadow Tower and cultivate in seclusion.
Moreover, if he wanted to become a warship guard, he would need to submit an application in advance. There would be a test arranged at that time. Only those who passed the test would be qualified to become a warship guard.
Strength!
Everything required strength!
However, things didn't go as planned. In just three months, Chen Zong had to leave the Sky Shadow Tower because he had to go on a mission.
This mission was an escort mission. It was carried out by Chen Zong's team. They escorted a few people from the Divine Capital to other places in the Qi Guang Dynasty. The normal round trip time was about two months.
During those three months, Chen Zong didn't encounter any danger. Just like what Wu Liu said, the Sky Shadow Tower wouldn't dare to sneak into the Sky Shadow Tower to assassinate Chen Zong.
However, now that he had left the Sky Shadow Tower to go on a mission, it was hard to say.
But there was no other way. The Sky Shadow Tower wouldn't stop the Sky Shadow Tower from going on a mission. If that was the case, what was the point of establishing the Sky Shadow Tower?
