Falling, falling.
He kept falling, as if he was falling from the top of a mountain, falling from the top of the sky, into an endless abyss.
Chen Zong suddenly woke up, and immediately felt that he couldn't summon any strength, as if he was about to collapse. Waves of pain came from his body, and he knew that he had suffered internal injuries.
The sun shone from the sky into the pit, and not far away, Chen Zong lay there quietly. After a while, he recovered a bit of strength, and reluctantly turned his head to look around.
The pit was not big, about the size of a house, but it was very high, at least a dozen meters high. The scabbard fell to one side, and the sword was stuck in the ground. Not far away, there was a man in black, whose blood had dried up.
The bag was spread out and scattered on the ground, but it was still a distance away from him, so he couldn't reach it.
Lying quietly on the cold ground of the pit, Chen Zong looked at the sky outside the pit. It was only a small area, but the sky was blue, and it was clear that the weather was good for mountain climbing.
"They should have left already." Chen Zong thought to himself.
Time passed slowly. Gradually, Chen Zong felt that his strength was recovering, and he could slowly move. He moved to a bottle of Energy Pills, opened it with difficulty, and poured out an Energy Pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
As the Energy Pill melted in his stomach, a warm current gradually spread out, and the weakness gradually disappeared, and his strength recovered more.
He took out two more Energy Pills and swallowed them. His body absorbed the warm current from the Energy Pills like a dry sponge crazily absorbing water, and quickly recovered.
When all three Energy Pills were absorbed, Chen Zong's strength was finally fully recovered, and he could move freely, but the weakness was still there. It was the weakness of his Qi and blood, and every time he moved, he would feel waves of pain in his body.
Chen Zong's Qi and blood were burned up by the Burning Blood Technique, and in exchange, his strength increased by a thousand pounds. Fortunately, Chen Zong didn't deliberately continue, and naturally stopped the Burning Blood Technique after performing the Sky Light and Cloud Shadow Sword Technique. Otherwise, not only would his Qi and blood be burned, but also his blood, and the consequences would be serious.
Chen Zong took out a Beast Blood Pill and swallowed it. As the Beast Blood Pill dissolved, his vitality was slowly recovering. Chen Zong quickly circulated the second stage of the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill to accelerate the recovery of his vitality.
Not only had he fully recovered his vitality, he had even made some slight progress. Furthermore, the True Sword Heaven Supreme Art had also reached 2-dan pinnacle, and he was only a step away from 3-dan.
"This is also an unexpected surprise." Chen Zong tried to find joy in the midst of bitterness.
Although his physical strength and Vitality had completely recovered, his internal injuries were not so easily healed. In the absence of suitable medicine, he could only rely on his own self-healing ability. Fortunately, the self-healing ability of a martial artist was much better than that of an ordinary person, and his internal injuries were not particularly serious. As long as he did not undergo high-intensity training for a period of time, he would be able to slowly recover.
However, Chen Zong was not sure when he would fully recover.
Picking up the scabbard and sheathing the longsword, he glanced at the corpse of the black-clothed man not far away. A perfectly straight cut cut across the man's chest, almost cutting it in half. It was very fatal. Chen Zong could not help but recall.
The black-clothed man's palm was like a knife that had struck his heart. At the same time, he had also used the Burning Blood Technique to unleash his most powerful attack, the Sky Light Cloud Shadow Sword. The black-clothed man clearly did not expect that a mere Qi and Blood Realm level five, someone he could easily kill, would be able to use such a terrifying sword technique.
Underestimating him, coupled with poor eyesight in the dark, ultimately led to his death.
Under normal circumstances, both sides should have perished together. Unfortunately, the black-clothed man's attack was aimed at Chen Zong's heart, which happened to be blocked by the black metal plate that opened the stone chamber. Chen Zong was wearing a silver-threaded inner armor, which deflected part of the force. Although he felt some pain from the blade-like palm strike, it did not cause much damage.
"Is it the Yang Clan or the Drizzle Gang?" At this moment, Chen Zong finally had the time to think. He took off his mask and saw an unfamiliar face. He searched the black-clothed man's body but found nothing.
"It should be the Drizzle Gang."
After thinking about it, Chen Zong felt that the Drizzle Gang was more suspicious. After all, he had some conflicts with Yang Feiyu of the Yang Clan, but it was not to this extent. Moreover, the only son of the Drizzle Gang's leader had died under his sword. The hatred was even greater.
"There's a seventy to eighty percent chance that it's the Drizzle Gang." Chen Zong came to this conclusion. Other than this, he could not think of any other possibility. "Drizzle Gang, whether it's you or not, I will come to you for confirmation after I enter the Seven Luminaries Martial Academy and raise my cultivation."
As for now, he was only at the Qi and Blood Realm level five. If he barged into the Drizzle Gang alone, only death would await him.
Of course, he could also report this matter to the Chen Clan, and the Chen Clan would naturally take action. However, after thinking about it, Chen Zong planned to do it himself. Secondly, there was a time limit for him to rush to the Seven Luminaries Martial Academy. If he missed the time to enter the Seven Luminaries Martial Academy, it would be very tragic. After weighing the pros and cons of the two, the latter was more important as it was related to a series of future goals.
Chen Zong packed up the bundle again and carried it on his shoulder. He raised his head and looked around.
The pit seemed to be man-made. There were potholes all around, but they were not big and were not easy to climb.
After giving it a try, Chen Zong realized that he could climb it, but it was very difficult. Most importantly, it would affect his internal injuries.
"This is troublesome." Chen Zong muttered to himself. He decided to rest for a while and let his internal injuries heal a little more.
Since it was not easy to practice the sword, Chen Zong cultivated the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Art. He wanted to see if he could break through to the third stage of the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Art. However, the gap between the peak of the second stage and the third stage was obviously not small. It was not that easy to break through.
After feeling that a few hours had passed, Chen Zong tried to climb again.
The effect of a few hours was obviously not that good. It was very tiring to climb a pit that was more than ten meters high, but Chen Zong gritted his teeth and persevered. Otherwise, he did not know how long it would take if he continued to wait.
He pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the wall of the pit. Chen Zong took out an energy pill and consumed it. After a short rest, he continued to climb.
Waves of pain kept coming from his body, as if he was being cut by blades. It was very uncomfortable.
When he finally climbed out of the pit, Chen Zong sprawled out and panted. The waves of pain in his body made his face pale.
The sun was shining brightly. After a short rest, Chen Zong forced himself to stand up. He looked around and the position of the sun in the sky. After careful consideration, he judged the direction based on his experience on Mount Fulong.
"It should be this way." After making the judgment, Chen Zong started to walk in the direction that he had determined.
"One of the men in black is dead. Where is the other one?"
"Is he still in the mountain?"
While thinking, Chen Zong tried to pay attention to his surroundings.
He was lucky to have killed one. If he encountered the other, he would most likely be killed.
After surviving such a disaster, his luck should not be too bad.
Just as he thought about it, Chen Zong was stunned. A black shadow slowly turned in front of him and leaned against a rock to rest. It was the other man in black.
The man in black was also very surprised to see Chen Zong. He was stunned. Immediately, killing intent and hatred burst out from his eyes. It was so thick that it could not be dispersed. It was suffocating.
The black-clothed man immediately rushed towards Chen Zong. Chen Zong keenly discovered that the black-clothed man's movements seemed to be somewhat stiff, and his speed was not that fast.
"Could it be that he was stung by a black wasp's stinger?" A thought flashed through his mind. If that was the case, he might have a chance.
He pulled out his sword and turned it into a bolt of lightning. It streaked across the air, and there seemed to be a crackling sound as it pierced toward the man in black.
The man in black slapped out with both palms. It was so powerful that it seemed to be able to split stones. However, Chen Zong could clearly see that the man in black's movements were a little stiff. He did not use his strength when he attacked, and there were obvious flaws. He also did not use the power of Qi and blood.
The sword light was dazzling. It flashed through the gap between the palms and went straight to the man's face. The man in black was shocked and quickly dodged. However, his reaction seemed to be a little slow. The sword light flashed past his neck and cut open a wound.
Chen Zong finally confirmed that the man in black had probably been stung by a black wasp's stinger. The poison had entered his body. It was not fatal, but it affected the man's Qi and blood circulation and body flexibility, making him numb and slow.
In that case, Chen Zong would not let go of this opportunity.
"You're from the Drizzle Gang, aren't you?"
"The leader of the Drizzle Gang sent a gift as an apology while secretly sending people to kill me. He's afraid that the Chen family will find out and wipe out the entire Drizzle Gang."
"Your companion is already waiting for you on the road to the underworld."
Three sentences. The man in black's pupils shrank instantly. He was greatly shocked, and his attack paused slightly.
Chen Zong immediately seized the opportunity and performed the Eight True Sword Styles.
The Chaotic Sword Style blinded the eyes and the Rapid Sword Style cut through the air, cutting open a few wounds on the man in black. The Explosive Sword Style was like a giant cannon bombardment, heavily stabbing the man in black. It affected his internal injuries. Chen Zong spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
The man in black had been stung by a lot of black wasp's stingers last night. The poison had paralyzed his body. Now, he was hit directly by the Explosive Sword Style. He fell to the ground with heavy injuries.
Chen Zong walked over to guard against the man's counterattack. He lifted the man's black mask with his sword, revealing another black face.
"Did the leader of the Drizzle Gang send you to kill me?" Chen Zong pointed his sword at the man's throat and asked calmly, "Tell me the truth and I'll let you live."
The man stared at Chen Zong with a face full of hatred and murderous intent. He did not say a word.
Chen Zong exhaled and gently pushed his right arm forward. The sharp tip of the sword cut open the man's throat and stabbed him directly.
The man's reaction further confirmed Chen Zong's conjecture. These two men were related to the Drizzle Gang.
After searching for a while, they found nothing. Chen Zong took out another Energy Pill and consumed it. A warm current spread through his body. Although it could not heal his internal injuries, it made him feel better.
In order to kill this man, his internal injuries had worsened. Now, it would take him a long time to recover.
'I hope we can pass through Black Wasp Mountain smoothly.' Chen Zong thought to himself. If he could catch up with the others and meet up with the other four Chen Clan Hall disciples, it would be safer.
However, he was not sure if the four of them had passed through Black Wasp Mountain.
…
"Chen Zhong, we don't know where Chen Zong is. Maybe he's been killed by the two men in black," said Chen Zhi.
"Impossible." Chen Zhong retorted angrily, "Chen Zong can survive in Mount Fulong for more than a month. It's impossible for him to die so easily."
"Even so, we've been searching for half a day and haven't found him at all. If we continue searching and miss the time …" Chen Zhi said again. Chen Kaiyue and Chen Wenze were silent.
"If you want to leave, go ahead. I'll continue searching," said Chen Zhong with a solemn expression.
