The blue sky was clear and cloudless, like a huge flawless sapphire. Under the clear sky, the Sinking Feather River was calm, and not a single feather was floating.
A jet-black wooden boat was steadily sailing on the river, and several people were standing on the deck, seemingly arguing about something.
Suddenly, these people stopped arguing and stared dumbfoundedly in front of them, their faces full of shock.
On the motionless surface of the river, there were two figures gliding on the surface of the river at an astonishing speed.
One of them seemed to be moving very slowly, so slow that one could clearly see the alternating movement of his legs. But in fact, he was moving very fast, like a high-speed wheel rolling, leaving everyone in the dust.
The other figure was even more incredible. Without any posture, his feet stepped on the river, and he kept gliding forward with his hands behind his back. His clothes fluttered in the wind, as if there was an invisible force behind him.
The two figures were astonishingly fast. They soon passed the wooden boat and disappeared under everyone's gaze.
One of them was Chen Zong, and the other was Elder Cang Xuan.
After passing the heart tribulation, Chen Zong had gained obvious benefits. His cultivation had improved, and his spiritual sense had also improved. He could now cover ten thousand meters, and his spiritual power was purer and more powerful. His sword momentum had also broken through to the second layer, and his strength had improved significantly. Chen Zong also had a deeper understanding of the Heart Sword Dao.
The Sinking Feather River was known as a place where not a single feather floated, let alone a human body. A person's weight was many times that of a feather, and there was no way to compare. But Chen Zong and Elder Cang Xuan could now walk on the river, which was an application of the momentum of heaven and earth.
Bearing the momentum of heaven and earth, and borrowing the momentum of the water to move.
No matter how magical the Sinking Feather River was, it couldn't escape the boundary of water.
Walking on the river was also a way to train himself in using the power of the sword. Chen Zong felt that the subtle movements of his feet and the various changes were very wonderful and joyful.
This time, Elder Cang Xuan didn't urge him because he could see that Chen Zong was cultivating.
A truly outstanding cultivator could cultivate whether he was walking, sitting, or lying down.
It was not long before Chen Zong and elder Cang Xuan crossed the Sinking Feather River and headed towards the Unhindered Sword Sect at an astonishing speed.
However, when he arrived at the foot of Zongheng Mountain, Chen Zong stopped in his tracks. He frowned slightly and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Elder Cang Xuan's lips curved in a mocking smile, but he did not say anything. He left everything to Chen Zong. He believed that Chen Zong had already sensed something.
It was an ambush!
That's right, as soon as he got close to Zong Heng Mountain, Chen Zong felt a murderous intent permeating between heaven and earth. That murderous intent was hidden, and an ordinary Extreme Human Stage warrior would not be able to feel it. However, Chen Zong had mastered the second level of the Sword Momentum. His realm was profound, and his soul sense was pure, so naturally he would not miss it.
As his thoughts raced, Chen Zong's expression returned to normal. There was not the slightest difference, and his footsteps did not slow down. If elder Cang Xuan had not been paying attention to Chen Zong's changes, he would not have noticed either. He could not help but secretly sigh.
When he arrived at the foot of Zongheng Mountain and saw the broken corner of the mountain gate, the murderous intent in the air seemed to have thickened.
Chen Zong did not seem to have noticed anything and began to quickly climb up the stairs. It was not long before he arrived at the square where the Zongheng Sword Cauldron was located.
"Release the arrows!" An extremely cold shout that was filled with killing intent rang out. Immediately, numerous arrows tore through the sky. They carried extremely terrifying might as they shot over from all directions with shocking speed.
Every arrow was specially made. The arrowheads were incomparably sharp and could better break through protective powers. They also had a spiral shape, and the moment they rubbed against the air, they would spin along with the momentum, tearing the air apart like a drill, causing their speed to increase and their penetrative power to increase.
With the power of these arrows, even a pseudo Transcendent would be directly pierced through. It had to be said that in order to kill Chen Zong, the assailant had put in a lot of effort.
One hundred specially made and extremely powerful arrows pierced through the air from all directions and locked onto Chen Zong, causing Chen Zong to feel as if he was being pierced through. Chen Zong's expression became solemn.
If he had not broken through to the Extreme Mortal Stage and was only at the Third Stage, it would have been very difficult for him to defend against such an attack. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he would have died here. If it was an ordinary first layer Extreme Mortal Stage cultivator, it would not have been so easy to defend against such an attack. If he was not careful, he would have been injured, or even killed.
It had to be said that it was extremely dangerous.
But now, whether it was dodging or dealing with the attacks, he was able to remain calm.
"Be careful."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded out. At the same time, a figure flew over from another direction. His speed was extremely fast, and he brought with him a dazzling sword light. The sword light was like water and wind, but also extremely mysterious. It was like a dragon or a snake coming out of the abyss, or a tiger returning to the forest.
When the sword light appeared, it quickly surrounded Chen Zong's body. At the same time, one hundred specially made arrows pierced through the air.
Ding ding ding!
An incomparably sharp sound tore through the air. It was the sound of arrows and long swords colliding. Ripples of energy surged out, shattering the hard stone slabs of the square into pieces.
Immediately, Chen Zong felt his left arm being grasped by a hand, dragging him down the mountain.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only an instant. Chen Zong also clearly saw who it was.
Black Sword Sect's Yu Wu Ya!
With a thought, Chen Zong immediately understood that Yu Wu Ya was here to save him, and the assailant was most likely arranged by the Third Prince.
Involuntarily, killing intent flashed in Chen Zong's heart, and he also felt touched.
The killing intent was directed at the Third Prince, while the touching feeling was directed at the Ninth Prince.
Chen Zong also felt Yu Wu Ya's current cultivation and strength.
Mid First Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm. His sword skills were superb, and he was at the Late Stage of the Extreme Mortal Realm. However, to deal with such an attack, he had to go all out, and he also had to protect himself, which made the pressure even greater.
This was also because Yu Wu Ya didn't know Chen Zong's strength. He still thought that Chen Zong was only at the Early First Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm.
Chen Zong's arm shook slightly, and an ingenious force immediately spread Yu Wu Ya's hand open, making it impossible for him to hold it.
"Senior Yu, leave it to me." Chen Zong's indifferent voice sounded at the same time.
Yu Wu Ya was surprised by Chen Zong's opening of his hand when he heard Chen Zong's voice. Immediately, a sword light flashed.
The sword light was crimson in color, sparkling and translucent, as if it was made of crystal jade. A mysterious aura permeated the air. It was different from the mysteriousness of his swordsmanship. This kind of mysteriousness had a kind of power that went straight to one's mind.
It was as if the sword was drawn from one's heart, and the sword was controlled by one's will.
The difference between their levels was too great, and Yu Wu Ya could only see a trace of its mysteries, but he couldn't understand it.
A dazzling sword light flashed past, and the hundreds of arrows with astonishing power were all blocked and then shot down. The sharp arrowheads pierced through the hard ground, and the arrow shafts trembled and produced a series of buzzing sounds.
The terrifying arrows came in waves, one after another, and each wave had a hundred arrows, making a total of ten waves. Facing such a dense and tyrannical attack, a normal First Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm would have died on the spot, but Chen Zong blocked all of them, and all of them were destroyed, without even a trace of injury.
From this, one could see that the first wave of the third prince's plan had failed. However, there was no hope of success, and only hope of luck.
Elder Cang Xuan stood motionless with his hands behind his back, a trace of mockery on his face. On the other hand, Yu Wu Ya was stunned.
The strength Chen Zong had displayed was completely beyond his expectations.
That aura …
That aura …
Was even more profound than his own.
It was at least Second Layer, or even Third Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm.
Unbelievable!
Soon after, Yu Wu Ya could not help but let out a bitter smile. He had been too rash, and did not investigate thoroughly. But there was no other way, the situation was not good, and there was not enough time.
However, Chen Zong having such strength was ultimately a good thing.
However …
"Chen Zong, leave quickly, this is the third prince's trap." Yu Wu Ya hurriedly reminded.
"Senior Yu, there is no need for that." Chen Zong smiled, full of confidence.
Trap?
Let's wait and see.
"I did not expect your strength to increase so much in just a few years. You really surprised me." A somewhat familiar voice rang out, but with a hint of mockery. Soon after, Chen Zong saw three figures rapidly approaching from three different directions, each emitting a powerful aura that locked onto Chen Zong.
"It's you guys." Yu Wu Ya's expression abruptly changed.
Chen Zong also recognized one of the three. One of them was the Conqueror Sect that had tried to kill him years ago.
The current Conqueror Sect was also an Extreme Mortal Realm expert. From the aura he emitted, Chen Zong knew that he was at the Mid Mortal Realm, the same as Yu Wu Ya.
The other one was at the peak Second Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm.
The third one was at the Mid Fourth Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm.
It could be said that each of them was stronger than the last.
It was no wonder that Yu Wu Ya's expression changed. If it was just the Conqueror Sect, he would have no pressure, but the other two were not people he could fight against. The difference between them was too great.
"Where's the Third Prince?" Chen Zong said calmly, without the slightest bit of pressure, "He didn't come himself, but sent the three of you here to die?"
"You're still so stubborn even in the face of death." The Conqueror Sect laughed coldly, his face filled with killing intent.
"There's another Profound Heaven Realm expert here, but he's only at the Early Second Layer. Don't worry, just attack." Elder Cang Xuan's voice rang out in Chen Zong's ears, making him feel even more at ease.
An Early Second Layer of the Profound Heaven Realm expert was no match for Elder Cang Xuan, who was at the Fourth Layer of the Profound Heaven Realm.
"Yu Wu Ya, today I'll take care of you too." The Conqueror Sect's gaze swept past Chen Zong and landed on Yu Wu Ya's face, his face filled with a sinister smile.
"You can try." Yu Wu Ya said coldly.
The air was filled with killing intent, and the murderous aura grew thicker and thicker, like a tidal wave crashing down.
"Senior Yu, leave the three of them to me." Chen Zong said with a slight smile. Even if they were Extreme Mortal Realm experts, as long as they didn't practice a supreme or even supreme grade Legacy level Cultivation Arts, there was no need to take them too seriously.
"Be careful." Yu Wu Ya knew that he wasn't a match for the three of them, and he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single attack. But since Chen Zong said so, he must have a way to deal with them. Yu Wu Ya warned, "The three of them are the strongest subordinates of the Third Prince, and their strength is extraordinary."
