Monstrous murderous intent!
A terrifying aura seemed to emerge from the depths of the nine nether abyss, wrapping around the middle-aged man's body, causing him to feel a burst of numbness. His heavily injured body felt like it was difficult for him to resist.
The middle-aged man stared at the long sword in Chen Zong's left hand.
It looked like an ordinary long sword, not a pseudo Spirit Artifact, but a strange feeling. However, it was precisely this long sword that brought him such a terrifying threat.
If he had not been injured, he would have been able to resist this terrifying aura, but now that he was seriously injured, his ability to resist was greatly reduced.
The middle-aged man was certain that this sword contained a profound mystery and contained a terrifying power that was more than enough to kill him.
This sword was the Red Thunder Sword.
The Red Thunder Sword could be said to be Chen Zong's last resort.
However, Chen Zong did not intend to use up the power contained in the Red Thunder Sword; after all, it was a Transcendent level power, using it to deal with a seriously injured pseudo Transcendent was a waste.
However, even if he didn't use up the Sword Qi contained in it, he could still release a portion of its aura to deter his opponent and prevent him from escaping. Chen Zong didn't want to face a fully prepared pseudo Transcendent, at least for now.
Chen Zong's two swords pressed forward, launching a violent attack without fear of death. The more he fought, the stronger he became. On the other hand, because of the middle-aged man's injuries, he became weaker and weaker. The balance between the two sides began to tilt.
The middle-aged man's face became more and more pale as he constantly used his dexterous Movement Skill to dodge, but all his dodging was futile in front of Chen Zong. The two swords continued to fly towards him, forcing him to meet them head-on every time.
When they collided, a terrifying force impacted both sides, creating countless ripples in the air.
Under this kind of impact, Chen Zong also felt uncomfortable, but with his tyrannical physique, he was able to resist it. Relying on his powerful self-healing ability and the pure vitality of the Thousand Year Tree Heart, his injuries rapidly healed.
Although the middle-aged man was a pseudo Transcendent, he did not have the same capital as Chen Zong. Time and time again, the impact of this force worsened his injuries, causing his strength to decline again.
Suddenly, Chen Zong activated the power of the Red Thunder Sword to the extreme. An almost transparent sword light with a hint of gold tore the space under the sword. There seemed to be a black mark, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
The middle-aged man's body suddenly stiffened.
If he was at his peak, he would be able to resist this terrifying aura, but right now, his injuries were extremely serious, his vitality, and Soul.
The moment his body froze, his spiritual will was also affected by a strong impact, and he fell into a momentary trance.
One breath was enough.
Chen Zong's sword, Chen Zong's left hand, his left hand's's's, his True True Qi to compress and condensed condensed condensed condensed condensed True True Qi into the sword '''s''s, which condensed condensed True True Qi.
Secret sword … Star!!!
The sword disappeared. Only a deep blue starlight streaked across the sky, leaving behind an extremely resplendent star mark in the sky.
Too fast!
Too sudden!
Just as the middle-aged man was about to dodge, he found that his Blood Qi and muscles were numb, making it difficult for him to dodge.
A sharp pain unconsciously spread from his heart, which quickly spread. After his heart was pierced through, it was torn apart by a terrifying force.
With one successful strike, Chen Zong immediately activated his Pure Yang Qi and Blood Qi. His legs exploded with an astonishing power, crushing the mountain rocks under his feet. Like an arrow released from a bow, he retreated, avoiding his opponent's dying counterattack.
"You …" The middle-aged man didn't even have a chance to counterattack. He clutched his chest with one hand, and bright red blood continuously seeped out from the gaps between his fingers. He tried to grab Chen Zong with his other hand, but he caught nothing. With a face full of unwillingness, he fell forward.
Chen Zong hurriedly took out a dan and consumed it, quickly recovering his True Qi.
A moment later, a portion of his True Qi had been restored. Chen Zong sent out a Sword Qi, chopping off his opponent's right arm. His opponent didn't even have the slightest reaction, completely dead. Seeing this, Chen Zong breathed a sigh of relief.
In the battle just now, he had endured a great deal of pressure. Now that he had relaxed, his whole body felt exhausted, a kind of exhaustion that originated from the depths of his body. This kind of exhaustion was not something that could be recovered by relying on pills, it required sufficient rest.
But at the same time, Chen Zong also felt a sense of accomplishment.
A powerful Pseudo Transcendent, who originally had the strength to kill him, had died under his sword in the end.
The other party wanted to kill him, so why was he the one who died in the end?
The reason was simple. The other party didn't know that Chen Zong had discovered him and had set up a trap, so he was severely injured by the Small Thunderbolt Sword Qi, causing his strength to drop significantly.
Under the pressure, Chen Zong stimulated his potential and broke through to the second stage of the Body and Sword Fusion Third Stage, the Illuminating Profound Boundary. Finally, he used the power of the Red Thunder Sword to intimidate his opponent and kill him in one fell swoop.
Every step was extremely dangerous, even the slightest carelessness could have led to a different ending.
The feeling was like an ordinary person walking on a hair-thin rope, while below was a mountain of blades and a sea of fire.
Quickly tidying up, Chen Zong obtained a Third-Order Pseudo Spirit Artifact short blade and a Mustard Seed Bag from the middle-aged man. Opening the Mustard Seed Bag, there were a lot of things inside.
There were more than a thousand Spirit Shells. In addition, Chen Zong also saw a Spirit Source. Compared with the Low-Rank Spirit Source he possessed, the Spirit Source in this Mustard Seed Bag looked a lot worse. It was a Substandard Spirit Source.
Each Substandard Spirit Source was worth a thousand Spirit Shells. There were a total of fifty-three Substandard Spirit Sources here, equivalent to fifty-three thousand Spirit Shells.
There were some healing pills and several Martial Arts books written on animal skins, two of which were Heaven Grade Top-Rank and one of which was Heaven Grade Top-Rank.
The last thing was a token.
The token was in the shape of a trident. It was completely black and cold to the touch, as if it was made of cold iron. On the front of the token, there were two strange characters, "Tianluo", and on the back, there were two characters, "Tiansan".
For Chen Zong, the most valuable thing was naturally the fifty-three Substandard Spirit Sources.
After putting all the trophies into the Virtual Ring, Chen Zong left the place. After walking for a while, he came to the edge of the river and sat down cross-legged to rest. Staring at the surging river, his mind gradually emptied.
He didn't think about anything, but also remembered everything. He did whatever he wanted, without deliberately limiting or controlling it. He let everything run its course.
The surging river raised white waves, as if it was endless. It flowed until the end of time, which made Chen Zong's mind calm down.
Chen Zong felt that he had a lot of affinity with water.
Watching the water of the Sinking Feather River, encountering the huge waterfall in the Tianyun Secret Realm, and now watching the river calmed his mind and enlightened him.
A vague feeling arose spontaneously, hovering in the depths of his heart, but it seemed to be missing something.
Time passed slowly, and the exhaustion in his spirit seemed to be washed away by the flowing water. When Chen Zong suddenly woke up, his spirit was in a state of full spirit.
A more harmonious feeling pervaded his body and mind, making him feel comfortable.
Chen Zong stood up with a slight smile on his face. He once again took out the trident shaped jet-black token and carefully looked at it.
"Could it be that this is the token of Tianluo Tower, and this person is an assassin of Tianluo Tower?" Chen Zong recalled that before he went out for experience, Grand Elder Yuan Lingzi had mentioned many forces to him. Among them, he had mentioned a special organization – Tianluo Tower.
It was said that Tianluo Tower was located in the Wanluo Mansion, but no one seemed to know its exact location. After all, Tianluo Tower was an assassin organization. They only cared about money, not people. No one knew how many people they had assassinated. If the location of their headquarters was known, it was likely to attract strong masters to uproot them.
The most important element of an assassin organization was secrecy.
Tianluo Tower's name had the meaning of an inescapable net. As the name implied, being targeted by Tianluo Tower was like being caught in an inescapable net, with no escape.
According to Grand Elder Yuan Lingzi, Tianluo Tower's assassins were divided into three levels: Human, Earth, and Heaven.
Human corresponded to the Training Realm, Earth corresponded to the True Martial Realm, and Heaven corresponded to the Pseudo Transcendence Realm.
The middle-aged man Chen Zong killed was a Pseudo Transcendence Realm Heaven Grade assassin of Tianluo Tower. He should be ranked third, so he was called Tian San.
All kinds of information flashed through Chen Zong's mind. He also knew the origin and identity of the other party, but his biggest doubt was why a Heaven Grade assassin of Tianluo Tower would attack him.
Tianluo Tower only cared about money, and he had no grudges with them. The only explanation was that someone had paid to hire Tianluo Tower's assassins.
Who was it?
Gu Zhi Yang?
It shouldn't be, the time was too short. Besides, Gu Zhi Yang might have thought that he had died under the Minor True Yang Exploding Bullet.
After thinking about it, Chen Zong couldn't think of who had hired Tianluo Tower's assassins, but his face was dignified.
Now that Tianluo Tower's Tian San had died under his sword, Tianluo Tower would definitely investigate, and they would probably trace it back to him. At that time, they might send even more powerful assassins to deal with him.
A sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
"I'm still too weak." Chen Zong couldn't help but think to himself.
Today, in order to deal with Tianluo Tower's Tian San, he had already used all his cards. This method couldn't be used again. It was simply impossible to fight against a Pseudo Transcendence Realm master with his late-Four-star combat strength.
Thinking hard, Chen Zong couldn't think of a way.
The most basic solution was naturally to improve his cultivation and combat strength. If his current cultivation reached the peak of the 9th layer of the True Martial Realm, and he completely mastered the Great Unhindered True Force and the fortieth form of the Unhindered Sword Art, even if he still wasn't an opponent of a Pseudo Transcendence Realm master, he should be able to put up a fight.
Time, in the end, was still time. He seriously needed time.
The Unhindered Sword Art was easy to deal with. He had basically comprehended it thoroughly. All that was left was to improve his cultivation and master it.
Cultivation was the only limit now.
