After a series of explosions, the blazing lightning disappeared, and the jungle returned to its tranquility.
Chen Zong gasped for breath, his chest rising and falling rapidly. His face was pale and he felt a little dizzy, which was the aftereffect of consuming too much Mental Energy.
Immediately, Chen Zong showed a smile.
Fifteen Seven Star combatants had all died in his hands. This was quite a shocking record.
Moving quickly, Chen Zong first took out a few pills and swallowed them to restore his Spiritual Energy, True Qi, and physique before collecting the loot from the bodies of the dead pseudo-Transcendents he had killed before leaving.
…
"There was a big battle here."
"They're all dead."
The five Eight Star combatants quickly rushed into the jungle and saw traces of destruction. They also saw corpses one after another. After careful inspection, most of the corpses were killed by a sword.
The more they looked, the more solemn their faces became. There was no doubt that these people were all Seven Star combatants. They had left Ascending Heaven City with them to hunt down Chen Zong, but now, they had turned into cold corpses. The wounds on their bodies showed that they were all killed by the same person.
Chen Zong!
Even though they all agreed that Chen Zong had relied on an offensive artifact to kill a Seven Star Pseudo Transcendent Realm master, they were still shocked because Chen Zong hadn't just killed one or two, but a total of fifteen of them. Even a peak Seven Star Pseudo Transcendent had been killed.
"A disaster."
"If we don't get rid of this disaster as soon as possible and give him time to break through to the Pseudo-Transcendent Realm, he'll be even more difficult to deal with."
The five of them all looked solemn. Chen Zong's talent was undeniable. He was many times more talented than them. He might even be better than Xiahou Ba.
If he stepped into the Pseudo-Transcendent Realm, he would definitely have Eight Star combat strength in a short time and be listed on the Heaven Ascension List.
"No matter what, we must get rid of him."
The five of them set off again to pursue him.
…
As his Mental Energy slowly recovered, Chen Zong had already left the jungle and was heading into the distance.
"I was able to kill these Seven Star combatants not only because I caught them off guard at the beginning, but also because of my Sword Intent," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Sword of Will was precisely what the third level of the Art of Spiritual Enhancement, Image Chapter cultivated. Chen Zong originally did not know what kind of image would be condensed, but under the interference of the mysterious sword tip, the image condensed was a sword, a bright silver sword.
The image was a sword, so it was called Sword.
The Sword of Will was a Sword of Spirit, a Sword of Will. Only Spirit Power and Will Power could resist it.
Chen Zong's mental strength was tyrannical, far surpassing that of many Eight Star Pseudo Transcendents. Ordinary Seven Star cultivators simply couldn't compete with him. When the sword intent struck their heads, they felt as if their heads had been split in half, and even their souls had been split in half, causing excruciating pain.
The control of a cultivator's strength was dependent on their Mental Energy. When their Mental Energy was in chaos due to various reasons, they would naturally lose control of their own body.
The Seven Star combatants couldn't resist Chen Zong's Sword Intent at all. He could easily break their defenses and kill them.
To put it bluntly, if he didn't have Sword Intent, Chen Zong could only kill a few of the weaker Early Seven Star combatants at the beginning. He could only run after that.
However, although Sword Intent was strong, it consumed a lot of Chen Zong's Mental Energy every time he used it. Fortunately, he had pills that could restore 30% of his Mental Energy. Even so, after killing the last Seven Star combatant, Chen Zong's Mental Energy was almost depleted.
Chen Zong's speed was already very fast, comparable to an Early Seven Star combatant. Now that he had cultivated the third stage of Sword Intent, his speed had skyrocketed with the help of the Sword Intent. He was now comparable to a Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatant.
With such speed, even the five Eight Star combatants couldn't catch up with Chen Zong in a short time.
The sky was getting brighter, but the five Eight Star combatants still couldn't catch up with Chen Zong. They couldn't even see Chen Zong's back. At most, they could only follow the subtle traces left by Chen Zong.
Just looking for the traces left behind by Chen Zong took them a bit more time. As such, the distance between them and Chen Zong was slowly being stretched out. Their bodies were not made of steel, so they had to stop and rest. While they were resting, Chen Zong continued to use his movement technique to move forward.
The Void Sword Energy that had fused with the power of the physique, the Zonghuang True Force, and the mental power was even more majestic and vigorous. It was also more durable.
As the sun rose, the five Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants looked gloomy.
They had lost him.
Five Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants were chasing a True Martial Realm cultivator, but they had lost him.
If word got out, it would be an extremely embarrassing thing.
At this moment, two figures broke through the sky and flew over from afar. Two white waves were stirred up like dragons, but also like two shocking bolts of lightning.
"Where are you?" A majestic voice that sounded like rolling thunder immediately brought great pressure to the five Eight Star combatants.
The five Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants' faces changed drastically. This kind of power was too terrifying.
As the voice sounded, two figures also landed in front of the five Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants. They were two middle-aged men, and their eyes seemed to contain traces of lightning.
They were the two Extreme Mortal Realm Eight Star combatants from the Sacred Palace.
"Reporting to the two Elders, that Chen Zong is too cunning. We … we lost him …" The two Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants from the Sacred Palace were ashamed. After speaking, they lowered their heads.
"We lost him." The two Extreme Mortal Realm Eight Star combatants frowned.
Five Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants actually lost a True Martial Realm cultivator.
"Trash." After cursing, one of the Extreme Mortal Realm Eight Star combatants asked, "Which direction did he run to?"
"Over there." The Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatant immediately pointed out the direction. The moment he pointed out the direction, the two Extreme Mortal Realm Eight Star combatants had already turned into two bolts of lightning and swept past them. A terrifying Qi roared and slammed into the five Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants, sending them flying several hundred meters away. Their bodies seemed to have been ravaged by terrifying lightning, causing them to spit out several mouthfuls of blood and their faces to turn pale.
However, the five Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants didn't show any dissatisfaction. Even if they did, they could only hide it deep in their hearts.
This was their punishment for not being able to catch up to Chen Zong. It was already good enough that they didn't die.
Immediately, the five Pseudo-Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatants appeared. Chen Zong wouldn't be able to escape. Even if he had an extremely powerful artifact, it was impossible for him to have the strength to fight against a Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatant.
Even if he could resist a Transcendent Realm Eight Star combatant's attack for a while, he wouldn't be able to last long.
He was dead meat.
Chen Zong would be captured alive. After being captured alive and brought back to the Sacred Palace, his fate could be imagined.
Even though his strength was immense, Chen Zong couldn't bear using his Movement Skill for a long time. He had no choice but to stop and rest for a while while recovering his strength.
Suddenly, Chen Zong stood up and looked back. His eyes were deep and there was a faint light within them.
Chen Zong's superhuman eyesight allowed him to see farther and clearer. The combination of his increasingly powerful Spiritual Energy and superb Sword Arts gave Chen Zong a feeling of unease, as if a crisis was rapidly approaching.
He immediately got up and used his Movement Skill again, leaving at full speed.
Not long after, two figures appeared from the distant horizon, streaking across the sky like lightning. As soon as they appeared, they quickly approached. Their speed was at least ten times faster than an Eight Star Pseudo-Transcendent.
A terrifying pressure pressed down from the sky and directly bombarded Chen Zong's body. Chen Zong's figure came to a halt, as if his whole body was being suppressed and he couldn't move.
Chen Zong's face changed greatly. He stimulated his strength and Nihility Sword Force spread all over his body. His half-step sword force tore through the pressure and his speed increased again.
Suddenly, there was a flash in front of his eyes. Two lightning bolts struck down and disappeared, revealing two figures.
The two middle-aged men wore silver-grey robes. Their eyes were cold and arrogant, as if they controlled Chen Zong's life and death. They had the same symbol on their cuffs. Chen Zong recognized it at a glance. It was the symbol of the Sacred Palace.
From the speed of these two people and the aura they exuded, Chen Zong knew they were two Transcendent Realm masters.
"An ant can escape here. I have to say, your luck is not bad," One of the Transcendent Realm masters said indifferently, as if he was looking down on Chen Zong.
"However, it ends here," The other Transcendent Realm master also said in a superior tone.
Since they had already caught up with Chen Zong, they didn't think that Chen Zong had the ability to escape from them. Moreover, they had already investigated Chen Zong's background.
He was a disciple of a small Low-Rank Sect in the Dragon Chart Region. He had been expelled and later served the Ninth Prince of the Dragon Chart Dynasty. However, he had colluded with criminals to kill the Dragon Chart Imperial Family's Dragonteeth Guard and was now convicted.
As for whether they had colluded or not, it had nothing to do with the Sacred Palace. They wouldn't deliberately investigate whether it was true or not.
The only thing worthy of their attention was perhaps Chen Zong's talent. His talent was better than Xiahou Zhen's, and possibly even better than Xiahou Ba's.
Unfortunately, he had to go against the Sacred Palace. Only death awaited him.
"Two dignified Transcendent Realm masters have personally chased after me. Aren't you afraid of becoming a joke if word of this gets out?" Chen Zong thought of a countermeasure as he spoke, stalling for time.
At the same time, Chen Zong was also silently calculating whether he could kill the two with a single strike if he used the Red Thunder Sword.
A precious treasure like the Red Thunder Sword should be used at this time.
However, there were two Transcendents. He had to kill them with a single strike. Otherwise, leaving one alive would be a huge problem for him.
"Who dares to laugh at my Sacred Palace's actions?" One of the Transcendents said. His words revealed the domineering aura of the Sacred Palace. This was the deterrence of a High-Rank Sect.
Chen Zong also understood that the situation in the Ascending Heaven Region was different from the Dragon Chart Region. In the Dragon Chart Region, there was only one High-Rank Sect, and that was the Dragon Chart Imperial Family. They unified the entire region and no one dared to disobey their orders.
The Dragon Chart Imperial Family had set up all kinds of laws. On the surface, everyone had to abide by the laws. If they violated the laws, they would immediately be punished by the powerhouses of the Imperial Family.
However, there were two High-Rank Sects in the Ascending Heaven Region. They competed with each other for resources and so on. The other forces were the same. Naturally, it wasn't as unified as the Dragon Chart Region.
