"This is the first time I've suffered so many injuries."
After consuming the last Energy Pill to recover his strength, Chen Zong could not help but smile bitterly. There were wounds on his back, chest, arms, and thighs. They were either claw marks or teeth marks. Some were light, some were heavy, but the bleeding had already stopped. A layer of blood had also formed on the wounds.
"But it's already a great fortune to be able to survive from last night's situation."
"I wonder how Brother Chen Zhong and the others are doing?"
The appearance of the Level 3 Heavy Armored Bull had directly crushed everyone's defense. It had destroyed everything in the camp and was invincible. Coupled with the arrival of even more beasts, the group could not gather and could only fight individually. In the end, they were forced to disperse.
As the sun rose, the golden light dispersed the lingering chill of the night. Chen Zong felt a trace of warmth.
Perhaps it was because of the attack of the beasts last night, but now it was quiet. The scenery had a unique beauty.
Chen Zong did not dare to let his guard down. If he guessed correctly, this place should be deeper into the Mount Fulong than the mine. The deeper he went, the more dangerous it would be.
"I'll recover my strength before leaving this place," Chen Zong thought to himself.
He was not like Tang Junluo, Li Zhenshi, Zhao Wangcheng, and the others. When they went out to train, they would definitely be accompanied by experts above the Qi and Blood realm. If he was unlucky and encountered a Level 2 beast, it would be enough to put him in a life and death situation, not to mention a Level 3 beast.
Paying attention to his surroundings, he activated the True Sword Heaven Supreme Skill. The Qi and Blood that he had used up were quickly recovering at a speed that he could clearly feel.
Half an hour later, his Qi and Blood had completely recovered. His physical strength was also fully recovered. The only thing was that there were many wounds. As his body moved, it would cause waves of discomfort and pain.
With a light leap, he jumped onto a large rock and looked into the distance. All he could see was the forest and vegetation. For someone who had entered the Mount Fulong for the first time, it was difficult to determine the direction. It was easy to get lost.
"Which direction is the Martial Wind City?" Chen Zong looked at the rising sun. The direction of the rising sun was fixed. Based on this, he might be able to find the way back to the Martial Wind City.
But as he looked, Chen Zong was a little confused. After all, he lacked experience in surviving in the wild.
"It should be in this direction." Chen Zong sounded uncertain, but he didn't have a better choice. Jumping off the rock, he strode towards the direction he had chosen.
The vegetation was exuberant, so he had to use his sword to open a path, but he also had to be vigilant at all times.
When they were tired, they would find a place with a relatively wide view to rest for a while. Once they had rested, they would continue moving forward.
"This is … Puluo Grass …" Sweeping his gaze across the area, Zhang Xuan noticed a stalk of reddish-brown grass beneath a large tree. It looked extremely resilient. "It seems to be around thirty to forty years old."
It was an unexpected surprise. Chen Zong dug up the Puluo grass and carried it with him.
As the sun rose, it became scorching hot in the sky. Chen Zong also had a few herbs hanging on his shoulder, all of which were more than ten years old.
When he was hungry, he plucked some wild fruits. After identifying them as non-toxic, he cooked them to appease his hunger. They were sour and astringent, but in order to maintain his strength, he had to eat them.
It was unknown when, but dark clouds had gathered from all directions, blocking the sunlight and darkening the world.
As he walked, Chen Zong noticed that there was a cave in front of him that was covered by vines.
"Is this the cave of demonic beasts?"
Looking around carefully, he didn't find any traces of demonic beasts.
Shaking his head, Chen Zong didn't enter the cave in the end. There could be danger anywhere in the mountain. Who knew if there would be any danger that he couldn't deal with in the cave.
He bypassed the cave and continued moving forward.
Rumble!
A dull sound seemed to be ringing in his ears, as if there was a giant beast hiding in the dark clouds making an earth-shattering roar.
The mountain wind suddenly became violent, blowing from all directions with a whooshing sound.
Crack!
In front of him, there seemed to be a dazzling light, and in his ears, there came an astonishing sound directly. In the dark clouds, blazing white lightning shuttled back and forth, like electric snakes dancing.
The dark clouds were low, the mountain wind was roaring, and the lightning was dense. Heaven and earth were dull.
This was clearly the prelude to the coming of a mountain storm.
Crack!
A blazing white bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and struck a large tree a few hundred meters away. The hundred-year-old tree was instantly shattered by that bolt of lightning, leaving only half of the tree stump charred black.
A piece of charred wood fell heavily beside Chen Zong's feet. Wisps of hot air filled the air, scorching and choking his nose.
"Truly … terrifying power …" Chen Zong sucked in a breath of cold air, extremely shocked.
The power of heaven and earth was many times stronger than a human's power. The power of that lightning couldn't be compared to that of a powerful martial artist who had surpassed the Qi and Blood realm.
"If my sword could be as fast and powerful as that lightning … who in the world could block it …" Chen Zong suddenly thought, but then he shook his head and smiled. He was thinking too much. There was a limit to a person's power. No matter how fast and powerful his sword was, how could it compare to the lightning of the power of heaven and earth?
A peanut-sized raindrop fell on his face, and in the next breath, raindrops fell from the sky. In just a few seconds, the world was covered in gray. At a glance, countless raindrops fell in a line, and the sound of the raindrops was like a surging tide.
"I need to find a place to hide from the rain." His eyes quickly scanned the area, but he couldn't find a place to hide from the rain.
With his Qi and Blood realm level five cultivation, his body was much stronger than ordinary people. He also had abundant Qi and blood, so he could easily withstand the cold and heavy rain. However, it was different in the mountains. Moreover, his injuries hadn't healed yet. If he wasn't careful, he could fall sick.
"There's only that cave left."
Now, he had to enter even if he didn't want to. He could only hope that there wasn't any danger inside.
His footsteps were quick. He returned to the cave and quickly scanned the area. After confirming that there were no traces of monster activity, he went in.
Wiping the rainwater off his face, Chen Zong looked into the cave. The light was dim, so he couldn't see far. However, it was silent. Compared to the noise of the storm outside, it was like a different world.
After waiting for a while, the storm showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it became more intense. Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed in the sky. The sky and earth suddenly brightened and darkened.
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to leave for a while.
"Should I go in deeper?" Thinking to himself, Chen Zong didn't hesitate. He focused and walked slowly into the cave. He activated the True Sword Heaven Supreme Skill, channeling his Qi and blood. His strength quietly gathered, ready to go.
The cave wasn't deep. After walking for about twenty meters, he came to a relatively wide cave. It was about five to six meters high and had an irregular shape. It was about fifty to sixty square meters in size.
"What's that?" Chen Zong vaguely saw a stone slab in the corner of the cave. There was a black shadow on the stone slab. "A person? Or a monster? "
"Someone actually came here. Tsk, a Qi and Blood realm level five martial artist. Just nice. His Qi and blood can heal some of my injuries." A cold and strange voice sounded. It was a bit hoarse. When it reached his ears, Chen Zong's scalp went numb. Without hesitation, he retreated.
"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving." The black shadow suddenly twisted and got up from the stone slab. Like a python, it quickly slithered over, bringing with it a fishy wind.
For a moment, Chen Zong felt like he was facing a snake-type monster.
Why would a person make him feel like he was facing a snake-type monster?
It was very strange.
Before Chen Zong had time to think, the black shadow had already closed in on him. His hands swayed and shot out from his sleeves like poisonous snakes coming out of their holes. Like a snake's mouth, they made a hissing sound that made one's scalp go numb and neck go cold as they attacked Chen Zong's throat and chest.
There was no fluctuation of Qi and blood. This was obviously a Foundation Establishment martial art, but it was practiced to perfection. It gave Chen Zong a strong sense of danger and pressure.
It was hard to breathe.
He held his breath and stayed calm in the face of danger.
His right hand quickly grabbed the sword hilt and pulled it out of the sheath.
The sword light was so dazzling that it instantly lit up the dim cave. With an amazing momentum and extreme sharpness, it slashed toward the black shadow like a crescent moon tearing through the night sky.
This sword was fast, accurate, and steady. It also had a kind of resolute and ruthless decisiveness.
After many life-and-death battles with monsters, Chen Zong unknowingly began to practice the Ruthless Word of the Four-Word Sword Technique Formula. He had some preliminary results.
This sword was beyond the black shadow's expectation. He never thought that a mere Qi and Blood Realm martial artist could have such exquisite sword techniques.
However, the black shadow had been through hundreds of battles and was very agile. He twisted his body like a snake and dodged the sword slash. As if he was sticking close to the sword light, his speed increased by another notch. His hands changed, like countless snakes shooting out, attacking various parts of Chen Zong's body.
Chaotic Sword Style!
The precious iron sword danced like a butterfly among flowers. Its sharpness was unparalleled. It completely blocked the front. The black shadow had to withdraw his hands. He was severely injured and could not use his full strength. He did not dare to meet the sharp iron sword head on.
In a flash, he disappeared in front of Chen Zong and reappeared beside him. One of his hands moved up and down, as if to hit Chen Zong's head or his ribs. It was hard to tell if it was real or fake. The other hand quietly gathered momentum and drew a strange arc, attacking Chen Zong's back.
If he was attacked from three sides.
Wind Step!
His body was like the wind. In a flash, he disappeared under the black shadow's hands.
Second step!
Close in, sword out!
The sword light condensed into a ray, extremely fast.
Swift Sword Style!
It pierced through the air and the darkness of the cave. With an amazing momentum and sharpness, it pierced toward the black shadow.
This sword was too fast!
The black shadow could not dodge in time. The black robe on his body was immediately torn apart, which bought him a chance. His palm was like a snake's mouth, lightly hitting the sword body. The huge force broke the sword body, and he took the opportunity to retreat.
"Kid, I didn't expect your sword techniques to be so good. You must be a genius from some family." The black shadow's voice rang out again, this time with a sinister tone that revealed a thick killing intent. "What I like the most is to torture geniuses like you. I'll drink all of your blood and Qi to make my cultivation stronger."
"Who the hell are you?" Chen Zong frowned. This person's voice and tone gave him a very uncomfortable feeling. He could not even tell whether the black shadow in front of him was a human or a monster.
After all, he had never heard of a martial artist who would drink human blood to improve his cultivation. That method was too evil.
