Dark clouds covered the sky like a giant piece of lead that was about to fall and crush the earth.
With a rumble, the dazzling lightning lit up the sky, as if a terrifying giant beast was waiting to destroy the world.
Soon after, a whistling sound appeared. Wild gales blew, causing the world to shake. The wind blew to the point that the thick and heavy black clouds began to move slowly. Dust and smoke billowed on the ground as countless grains of sand danced with the wind. Within the layer of dark clouds, countless bolts of lightning flashed, transforming into numerous dazzling bolts of lightning that broke through the clouds like enormous pythons and meandered in all directions.
It was as if the end of the world had arrived.
Raindrops the size of a thumb fell from the sky as fast as meteors. When they hit the rocks, they made a crisp sound and shattered, causing water droplets to splatter in all directions.
More raindrops fell and covered the sky. They fell on the rocks, grass, and leaves, making a dense and crisp sound that resounded between heaven and earth.
From afar, it was as if a torrent was falling from the sky and was about to sink the earth.
In this kind of weather, ordinary people and warriors would only stay in their sturdy houses and would not dare to go out.
However, a figure came from afar at an extremely fast speed. Countless huge raindrops fell on the figure but were all blocked by a layer of invisible force. As the figure moved at high speed, a long water dragon was dragged out. It spread dozens of meters and let out a shocking roar. It was as if a water dragon was flying between heaven and earth.
Chen Zong's cultivation at the late stage of Lv 8 True Martial Realm and the 35th level of the Art of Traversing made his Protective True Force very strong. Even if he stood there and let a warrior at the peak of Lv 8 True Martial Realm attack him with all his strength, it would be difficult to break through. Even a warrior at Lv 9 True Martial Realm would have a hard time breaking through it.
After stabilizing his cultivation at the late stage of Lv 8 True Martial Realm and completely mastering the 35th move of the Traversing Sword Technique, Chen Zong proposed to go out and gain experience. The Founding Elders and the Sect Master did not stop him.
They knew that Chen Zong was like a real dragon. He could not be trapped in one place. That would be detrimental to his growth.
After leaving the Traversing Sword Sect, Chen Zong headed east, in the direction of the Imperial City of the Longtu Dynasty.
The Royal Family of the Longtu Dynasty belonged to the Upper Rank Sect and was very powerful. As the center of the Royal City, not only were there many high-ranking officials, there were also many geniuses and experts.
Since he was going to train, he naturally had to go to places with more geniuses. Only then would it be meaningful.
There were eight prefectures in the Longtu Empire. However, the Imperial City was not one of the eight prefectures. More accurately speaking, the Longtu Empire was divided into one Imperial City and eight prefectures.
On the way from the Tianjiang Prefecture to the Imperial City, they would pass by the Wanluo Prefecture.
The torrential rain, which was enough to knock down and injure ordinary people, did not affect Chen Zong at all. He was as swift and sharp as an arrow leaving the bow, moving forward courageously.
The torrential rain gradually lessened, and the dark clouds that were as heavy as lead and iron slowly faded.
When a ray of sunlight tore through the last of the dark clouds like a heavenly sword, the rain stopped at the same time.
The weather had cleared up, but the air was very moist. The smell of grass, soil, and rain filled the air.
Suddenly, Chen Zong felt a surge of heat rapidly approaching him. It was as if a scorching sun was attacking him from behind. Large amounts of moisture in the air evaporated, turning into white steam that rose in spirals. There was even a sizzling sound.
In less than a tenth of a second, Chen Zong reacted quickly.
Under the Zhao Xuan State, the dust in the air fluctuated violently, allowing Chen Zong to clearly grasp the strength of the scorching attack behind him.
Beginner Four-Star!
Its speed was close to that of a mid-Four-star.
If it was before Chen Zong had broken through to Lv 8 of the True Martial Realm, he would not have been able to block this attack with his own strength.
Turning around and unsheathing his sword, the two actions were connected smoothly and completed at the same time.
The silver sword light was even more dazzling than the light of the sun as it slashed down vertically from top to bottom. A blazing red sun the size of a millstone, bringing with it a terrifyingly high temperature and extremely violent power, mercilessly slashed down, but it was directly split apart by the sword light.
Split into two!
The two halves of the scorching sun rushed past Chen Zong's left and right sides. The terrifying heat seemed to be burning Chen Zong's body.
Chen Zong saw the person who attacked him.
Gu Zhiyang!
He was somewhat surprised.
Gu Zhiyang was also surprised to see Chen Zong, but he attacked mercilessly, intending to kill Chen Zong.
Chen Zong had come out of the Tianyun Secret Realm alive, which made Gu Zhiyang feel that he had gained a lot and become stronger. This was good news for the Zongjian Sect, but not for the Zhenyang Sect. Especially now that his brother was still in the shadow of Chen Zong, he was no longer as high-spirited as he used to be.
Gu Zhiyang originally intended to kill Chen Zong with this attack, but he didn't expect that not only did he fail to kill Chen Zong, but he was also split into two by his opponent's sword. This was even more unexpected.
His eyes widened, and his pupils were like scorching suns. A powerful and scorching aura burst out from his tall and strong body, causing the humidity around him to instantly evaporate into steam. White smoke filled the air and rose into the sky.
Gu Zhiyang's body seemed to contain terrifying heat and violent power, and the shadow of a scorching sun directly appeared behind him.
Gu Zhiyang had already cultivated the Zhenyang Sect's True Yang Technique to the extreme, and at this moment, he activated it to the extreme.
He struck out with his palm, and in the center of his palm, there seemed to be a small scorching sun. It carried a terrifying power and fiercely blasted toward Chen Zong.
Middle-stage Four-star battle strength!
Gu Zhiyang, who had unleashed all of his power, was even more powerful.
With two swords in his hands, Chen Zong didn't dodge at all. He performed the 35th move of the Horizontal Sword Technique, and the increasingly sharp and domineering sword light pierced through the air.
Whether it was Gu Zhiyang's name or his strength, he deserved Chen Zong to use his true strength to fight with him and then break his opponent's power.
As soon as Chen Zong struck out with his sword, Gu Zhiyang's expression changed.
For a moment, he felt as if he was facing Lin Yuye, but it was also different.
Lin Yuye was known as the Frost Rain Sword. As someone who cultivated the Horizontal Sword Technique and the Horizontal Sword Technique, his sword technique was very sharp, like a cold rainstorm, and his attacks were very frightening.
Gu Zhiyang, who had fought with Lin Yuye many times, was very clear about Lin Yuye's sword style.
There was no doubt that Chen Zong was also performing the Horizontal Sword Technique, but the style was different. This was a kind of indomitable sharpness, as if it could cross the heavens and the earth and cut through all hard things.
Gu Zhiyang's palm was once again cut open by Chen Zong's sword.
After comprehending the Ancient Xuan Tablet, Chen Zong had modified the Traversing Skill and the Traversing Sword Art. They were less vigorous but sharper. They were 100% compatible with his body and could be used to the extreme. This was not a small increase in his combat strength.
Gu Zhiyang threw out another palm, which seemed to be more powerful, but it was still cut open by Chen Zong's sword.
Chen Zong's cultivation had reached the late stage of Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm, and he had also practiced the 35th move of the sword technique. His combat strength was undoubtedly more powerful, reaching the late four-star level.
After cutting open Gu Zhiyang's palm with his sword again, Chen Zong took the initiative to counterattack.
He performed the 35th move of the Horizontal Sword Technique with two swords, one vertical and one horizontal. The two swords combined to dominate the heavens and the earth.
For a moment, Gu Zhiyang found himself suppressed.
Incredible!
Compared to himself, Chen Zong was five or six years older. Before, Chen Zong was like an ant in Gu Zhiyang's eyes. Now, not only could he fight with Gu Zhiyang, but he could also suppress him.
For a moment, even someone as proud as Gu Zhiyang could not help but feel a trace of regret. If he had known, he would have attacked and killed Chen Zong before he grew up.
Now, it was too late.
No, there was still a chance.
"Swallowing Sun Change!"
Without any hesitation, Gu Zhiyang performed the secret method of the Zhenyang Sect.
A terrifying aura spread out, and the high temperature seemed to want to burn the surroundings to ashes. The blazing sun in the sky seemed to be responding to it from a distance, gathering the sunlight to form a ball of blazing red light the size of a human head above Gu Zhiyang's head, like a miniature version of the blazing sun.
The light was extremely strong, and the heat was shocking. It was several times more powerful than the Swallowing Sun Change performed by the disciple of the Zhenyang Sect in the Tianyun Secret Realm.
Gu Zhiyang opened his mouth, and the scorching sun fell and was swallowed into his stomach. Gu Zhiyang's body seemed to be burning, emitting an extremely strong light. He was like a human-shaped scorching sun, and his aura became even more powerful, soaring to the late four-star level.
The light from his eyes was like the sun. Gu Zhiyang raised his hands and continuously slapped at Chen Zong. Palm after palm, they turned into balls of red light the size of a human head, bombarding Chen Zong like a meteor shower.
Chen Zong's body was drowned. Countless explosions caused the surroundings to explode. The ground shook as if ten thousand beasts were galloping, and gravel mixed with the intense light flew everywhere.
When the explosions stopped, the shockwaves spread out for hundreds of meters. Dust and smoke filled the air, like a giant mushroom soaring into the sky.
Suddenly, a dazzling cross-shaped sword light shot out from the scorching smoke. It was as fast and ferocious as lightning as it attacked Gu Zhiyang.
Gu Zhiyang's arms shook, and layers of red light rippled out, causing a series of explosions to sound in the air.
Under Chen Zong's two swords, the ripples were directly torn apart, unable to resist at all.
Close!
Close!
The two swords were like a long waterfall as they blasted towards Gu Zhiyang. The momentum was vast and unparalleled.
Gu Zhiyang found that he couldn't keep up with the speed of Chen Zong's two swords. He was directly sent flying, and a thin line of blood spread out from his arms.
Gu Zhiyang retreated, and Chen Zong pursued at an even faster speed. The two swords were endless, and each strike contained extremely terrifying power.
Stab, slash, and flick.
They were all different methods of application, but they were all extreme interpretations of the 35th move of the Unhindered Sword Technique.
Gu Zhiyang found that he was suppressed again, even if he used the secret technique of the Yang-Swallowing Transformation to increase his strength.
Wherever they passed, the ground was shattered, the stones turned into powder, and the plants were all scorched, turning into ashes that filled the air.
Wherever the sword light passed, it also cut through the air, leaving behind streaks of silver marks. The Unhindered Sword Technique was densely packed, as if they were woven into a huge silver net that could cover the sky and the earth.
Gu Zhiyang performed his palm technique to the extreme, trying his best to resist Chen Zong's attacks and looking for a chance to counterattack. However, under the violent attacks of Chen Zong's two swords, he could only parry.
This scene happened to be seen by a few warriors passing by. When they recognized Gu Zhiyang, they all widened their eyes in shock.
