(New Year's greetings in advance)
"The Wang family is really stupid. To think that they would break into Black Wasp Mountain at night."
"Ignore them. Just keep an eye on our target."
"Strike while they're sleeping."
Two black shadows were hiding not far away from the family disciples. They blended into the night and were undetectable.
… …
"If Wang Shenglei breaks into Black Wasp Mountain at night, will he arrive at Seven Lights Martial Academy before us?" Chen Zhi asked somewhat nervously.
"It's possible." Chen Zong nodded. He was not in a hurry. It would be useless. If the bet was only for one person, he could take the risk. But there was no way he would bring the other four people to Black Wasp Mountain at night. One careless mistake and his life would be in danger.
Chen Zong knew very well which was more important, human life and money.
"Don't worry. Black Wasp Mountain at night is very dangerous. Not only are there black wasps, there are also other demon beasts. The danger is at least ten times higher than during the day. Wang Shenglei and the others may not be able to pass through easily." Chen Wenze said. Chen Zhong and Chen Kaiyue nodded and did not express any opinions.
In fact, they were not willing to break into Black Wasp Mountain at night either.
Chen Zong stood up and walked to the side to practice his sword art. Seeing Chen Zong working so hard, Chen Zhong and the others also stood up and practiced their Foundation Establishment martial arts.
"This Chen Zong is really hardworking."
"We can't lose to him."
Immediately, everyone began to practice.
After practicing for three hours, Chen Zong stopped to rest.
The black iron block that opened the stone chamber was placed in a secret pocket on his left chest. The first place reward of fifty thousand white jade coins was five banknotes worth ten thousand. It was also placed close to his body along with the 'Small Sword Scripture'. The Seven Lights Martial Academy's admission certificate was also placed in the secret pocket. The silver thread inner armor was worn under the martial clothes to protect his body.
The Celestial Pavilion's White Cauldron Token was also placed in the secret pocket on his chest. However, it was placed on his right chest. There were heavy iron arm guards weighing one hundred and fifty kilograms each on his arms. Other than that, there was also a cloth bag. Inside the cloth bag were dried food, jade coins, energy pills and beast blood pills. There was also a bamboo bottle hanging on his waist.
Leaning comfortably against a relatively clean rock, Chen Zong closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. However, he was recalling the contents of the Burning Blood Technique in his mind.
The Burning Blood Technique was the Forbidden Technique that Wang Shenglei had used at the end of their battle.
Forbidden techniques, as the name implied, were secret techniques that could not be casually used. Once a forbidden technique was used, there would definitely be strong side effects.
Before this, Chen Zong didn't even know about the existence of the Forbidden Art. He was born in a low family and his cultivation was not high, so he didn't know much about it.
However, after seeing Wang Shenglei display it, he returned to the Clan Hall and asked the Elder about it. The Elder did not hide anything from him.
The Burning Blood Technique was a relatively widespread Forbidden Technique. The Three Great Clans, Five Great Clans, and some other forces had mastered it. However, the side effects would be relatively small when used by someone whose cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm. This was because the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm would form a small circulation of Qi and Blood, which would eliminate the side effects to a certain extent. As long as one did not overuse it, one's foundation would not be damaged.
When someone below the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm used the Burning Blood Technique, their Qi and Blood would be depleted in an instant. Their entire body would be weak and powerless. If they used it for a little longer, their Qi and Blood might be damaged. In serious cases, their Qi and Blood would deteriorate and they would lose their cultivation.
'Could it be that Father wasn't simply injured back then?' Thinking of the serious consequences of using the Burning Blood Technique, Chen Zong suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, this thought also appeared in his mind.
Deteriorating Qi and Blood and losing one's cultivation were clearly the same consequences as overusing the Burning Blood Technique.
'It should be.' Chen Zong closed his eyes again. 'Father is a martial artist of the Chen Clan, and he's also at the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm. It's normal for him to cultivate the Burning Blood Technique.'
According to the elders in the clan hall, every disciple of the clan who reached the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm could cultivate the Burning Blood Technique. They could not use it normally and could only use it during critical moments such as life and death situations. After all, they would not care about the side effects if they were about to lose their lives. There was only hope if they were alive.
'Using the Burning Blood Technique causes one's Qi and Blood to instantly collide with one's body, causing one's Qi and Blood to explode at a high temperature and ignite in an instant. From there, it produces an even greater force of 500 kilograms. In other words, after using the Burning Blood Technique with my cultivation at the fifth level of the Qi and Blood realm, the increase in strength is comparable to an ordinary sixth level of the Qi and Blood realm. Once I use the Sky Light and Cloud Shadow Sword, the power will only be more tyrannical,' Chen Zong thought to himself.
After learning about the Burning Blood Technique from the elders in the clan hall last night, Chen Zong requested that the elders teach him the Burning Blood Technique.
Of course, he would not use it normally. However, if he were to encounter an irresistible danger, it might be able to save his life.
As the night deepened, the youths fell asleep one after another. They needed to rest up so that they could climb Mt. Black Fengshan better tomorrow.
However, someone had to keep watch at night. According to the agreement of the five members of the Chen family, Chen Zhi would keep watch for an hour first before the others would take turns until dawn.
Out of nowhere, a dark cloud drifted over and covered the waning moon, causing the world to become even darker. Only the balls of bonfires were more obvious. The flames flickered in the wind, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
As the wind blew, it was chilly. However, all of them were martial artists with strong Qi and blood, so they were not afraid of the cold wind.
Chen Zhi looked around and saw that there was no movement, so he sat down as well. He felt that there were many disciples of the clan here, so there was no need for him to be so focused.
In fact, there were a lot of people who had the same idea. They just looked around casually. Under normal circumstances, no ferocious beasts would dare to approach them. As for bandits and the like, they had long since disappeared after being cleaned up over the years.
It could be said that the dangers one would encounter on the way from Martial Wind City to Seven Lights Martial Academy mainly came from Mt. Black Fengshan, Abyssal River, and Galloping Horse Plain.
Time passed slowly. When the first batch of night watchers had been on duty for almost an hour and was about to be replaced, two black shadows approached quietly from the side with their backs facing Chen Zhi. They slowly approached the Chen family disciples and quietly moved towards Chen Zong's direction.
When the black shadows approached Chen Zong, they raised their palms and aimed at Chen Zong's heart. Suddenly, they struck down fiercely.
At the same time, Chen Zong opened his eyes. A strong sense of danger caused all the hair on his body to stand on end. He felt a chill down his spine. Without any hesitation or time to think, he immediately rolled to the side and pulled out his sword. The sword beam was extremely sharp and shone on the eyes of the two black shadows, forcing them to close their eyes and retreat quickly.
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?"
"What's going on?"
Immediately, someone was awakened. When he saw the two black shadows, he shouted and asked.
When the two black shadows saw that their assassination had failed and exposed their tracks, they did not escape. Without a word, they attacked again, flanking Chen Zong from both sides. Their attacks were extremely fast and fierce, and their bodies exuded a powerful aura.
Just now, in order to assassinate Chen Zong, they did not use the power of Blood Qi. Now that their tracks had been exposed, there was no need for them to hide anymore.
"Blood Qi Realm Level Eight!" Chen Zong's expression changed abruptly. This kind of Blood Qi energy fluctuation obviously exceeded the Blood Qi Realm Level Seven by a lot, but it did not reach the strength of the Blood Qi Realm Level Nine.
He had no idea why two Blood Qi Realm Level Eight black-clothed men suddenly appeared, and their target was obviously him.
"Kill!"
Tang Junluo and the others attacked one after another. They did not know that the two black-clothed men's target was Chen Zong.
"Get lost!"
Their hoarse voices were filled with irritation. The two black-clothed men attacked, and the wind from their palms whistled. It was as if a hurricane had appeared on the ground, and it directly forced the approaching crowd to retreat.
The Blood Qi Realm Level Eight was the Great Circulation of Blood Qi. When channeling the power of Blood Qi, one's arm strength could reach at least eight thousand catties. It was extremely terrifying, and each of their moves contained great power. The highest cultivation among the crowd was only at the Blood Qi Realm Level Six. No matter how strong their strength was, it was only slightly more than four thousand catties. The difference was huge.
Wherever the two black-clothed men passed, the crowd was sent flying, but no one died.
The terrifying pressure swept over, and the killing intent locked onto Chen Zong's body, causing his scalp to go numb. The power of Blood Qi in his body seemed to slow down and solidify, and it was difficult for him to circulate it. Under the terrifying killing intent of the two men, he almost fainted.
"Wake up, I have to wake up." Chen Zong gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay awake. He channeled the True Sword Heaven Supreme Skill with all his might, and the power of Blood Qi was carried up like an old bull pulling a broken car. Chen Zong also took advantage of the moment when the crowd attacked to quickly retreat.
Blood Qi Realm Level Eight enemies were too strong, not to mention two of them.
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
The further away he was, the faster Chen Zong's Blood Qi circulated. His speed increased, and he used the Wind Stepping Steps.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps!
He retreated twelve meters in an instant.
Seeing their target suddenly retreating more than ten meters away, the two black-clothed men seemed to explode with even more tyrannical power, directly repelling the people in front of them. In an instant, they cleared a path and chased after Chen Zong.
"Qi and Blood realm Level Eight is powerful and extremely fast. My only way out is to barge into Black Wasp Mountain," Chen Zong thought to himself. Without any hesitation, he used Wind Stepping Steps again and sped towards Black Wasp Mountain.
At this critical moment, he could only take a gamble.
"Oh no, he's going to enter Black Fengshan."
"Go after him."
The two black-clothed men whispered to each other and used their Step Techniques. Their bodies were as light as the wind, and they quickly chased after Chen Zong.
Chen Zong consumed a Beast Blood Pill while using the Wind Stepping Steps. At this moment, he couldn't care less about the depletion of his Blood Qi. Escaping was the most important thing.
Black Wasp Mountain was eerily quiet at night. Once you entered, you would be out of the range of the flames. The waning moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, making it impossible to see your fingers in front of you. Even a Qi and Blood Realm Level Nine martial artist could only vaguely make out a silhouette not far away.
Chen Zong's eyesight was not inferior to a Blood Qi Realm Level Nine martial artist. After all, he had been cleansed by the mysterious sword tip. His five senses were much better than the average person's.
Go, go, go!
The Beast Blood Pill dissolved and recovered his Blood Qi bit by bit. Chen Zong used the Wind Stepping Steps again. He didn't take four steps in a straight line. Instead, he dashed left and right. With his extraordinary eyesight, he could vaguely find rocks and the like to block his figure. This would distract the two black-clothed men chasing after him and make it easier for him to escape.
The sudden appearance of the black-clothed men, the sudden attack, and the sudden departure. It happened so fast that most people had yet to react.
