His only three Paramount Mortal stage subordinates had been killed by Chen Zong one after another. The third prince's heart was filled with an indescribable rage and an unparalleled desire to kill Chen Zong.
He wished he could skin Chen Zong alive, tear out his tendons, crush his bones, and scatter his ashes. However, he was not an ordinary person, and everything he did was for his own benefit.
At the end of the day, even the Conqueror Sect Master, who had followed him since a long time ago, was only there to help him grow stronger. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
The third prince was furious because he had lost three powerful subordinates, and it was difficult to find another useful person for the time being. This was detrimental to his own growth, and nothing more.
However, he quickly suppressed his anger because he realized that Chen Zong alone was enough to defeat the three of them. If he could subdue Chen Zong, he would be even more useful. At the same time, he would be able to thoroughly suppress his ninth brother.
It had to be said that the third prince's idea was very good. He had also made a promise to Chen Zong that would move many people's hearts, but to Chen Zong, it was not the slightest bit attractive.
Staring at the third prince, Chen Zong's face did not have the slightest hint of a smile, and his eyes were as cold as water.
"Back then, I had no choice but to leave the Longtu Region and go through several life and death situations. It was all because of you." Chen Zong spoke in a neither fast nor slow manner, his voice like autumn water emitting traces of coldness. "I was thinking that if there was a day when I had enough strength, I would return to the Longtu Region and kill you and the Conqueror Sect Master."
The third prince's expression abruptly changed, becoming even darker and filled with killing intent.
"Now that the Conqueror Sect Master is gone, it's time for your master to be on his way. Don't let him wait too long." Chen Zong added, his killing intent dense.
"Young man, don't be so murderous." The town king spoke up. A powerful aura rushed over, wanting to make Chen Zong kneel on the spot.
To his surprise, the aura disappeared without a trace before it could reach Chen Zong, leaving the town king somewhat bewildered. Soon after, he glanced at elder Cang Xuan beside Chen Zong and frowned slightly before relaxing. It doesn't matter, the difference in cultivation is the difference in strength. A mere first layer Heavenly Profound stage is no match for me.
"He has talent, but he can't see the situation clearly." The Third Prince smiled sinisterly, and the killing intent in his eyes grew even more intense. "Now, everyone from the Unhindered Sword Sect is here. Unless you don't care about their lives, I order you to put down your sword."
The sword was like a second life for a swordsman. At least seventy percent of one's strength was in the sword. Putting down the sword was equivalent to giving up one's strength.
Senior Elder Yuan Lingzi, the Sect Master, and the others kept looking left and right. They were telling Chen Zong not to do that.
Seeing this, Chen Zong smiled faintly, indicating that there was no need to be anxious.
He took off the red jade sword from his waist and inserted it into the hard ground of the Unhindered Sword Hall. Chen Zong's eyes flickered with cold light as he stared at the Third Prince. It was as if he could pierce through the Third Prince, causing the Third Prince's heart to palpitate.
"Gently bring the sword over." The Third Prince frowned and said with displeasure. The sword was not far from his feet. If Chen Zong wanted to attack, he could easily pull it out.
That distance was no different from no distance at all.
Therefore, the sword had to be far away. How far away?
It would be safer if it was in his hands.
That was why the Third Prince asked Chen Zong to bring the sword over, and to do it gently.
It couldn't be fast, nor could it be powerful.
"Chen Zong …" Yu Wuya wanted to stop him, because he knew very well that this was the Third Prince's scheme.
Without his sword, Chen Zong's strength would be greatly reduced.
"Hold the sword well." Chen Zong's voice was light. When it sounded, it was like a gentle breeze, and when it fell, it was like a butterfly fluttering in the wind.
When the last word "sword" fell, Chen Zong's body had already stretched infinitely, like a shadow.
A bright red sword light flashed through the air. The man and the sword became one, tearing the sky apart. Everything around them seemed to become blurry, which was caused by Chen Zong's speed.
Unable to see clearly, one could only see a blurry figure approaching at an alarming speed. One could also feel the terrifying heat of the sword light piercing through the air. The killing intent spread throughout the Third Prince's body, causing his limbs to go numb and his body to stiffen. He couldn't circulate his Qi and blood, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Horrifying, extremely horrifying, his consciousness seemed to have fallen into an icy abyss.
Speaking of cultivation, the Third Prince was also an Extreme Mortal Realm warrior. However, he was only at the early stage of the Extreme Mortal Realm. In addition, as a prince, he didn't need to do anything personally. Therefore, although he had a cultivation base, he couldn't fully display his strength.
Not to mention that Chen Zong's cultivation base was much higher than the Third Prince's, even if they were at the same cultivation base, even if the Third Prince's cultivation base was higher than Chen Zong's, he still wouldn't be a match for Chen Zong.
Chen Zong's strength grew from countless battles. There was no luck involved. Even if it was a miracle, it was the result of his own hard work.
With such a difference in cultivation base, how could the Third Prince resist?
The Town King's expression changed slightly. He knew that no matter what, the Third Prince was no match for Chen Zong. He wanted to attack, but the moment he moved his Qi, he felt an extremely terrifying force pressing down on him.
That kind of force was like a tall mountain, like a boundless sea. It was simply indescribable. In front of this aura, he seemed so small and weak.
"Not the first layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm!" The Town King couldn't help but roar in his heart.
This kind of aura was definitely not something that a first layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm could possess. Even the second layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm didn't have it. Even the third layer Heavenly Profound Realm ancestor in the royal family couldn't compare.
This kind of cultivation …
At least the fourth layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm!
The difference between the fourth layer and the second layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm was like a chasm. What's more, the Town King only cultivated a mid grade Spirit Art, while elder Cang Xuan cultivated a top high grade Spirit Art. There was a difference again.
Cultivation base, cultivation base, inheritance and other aspects, there was a clear gap between them.
For a time, the Town King was extremely shocked. He had a bad feeling and knew that all his plans today would fail.
Under the pressure of the fourth layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm's aura, the Town King felt that he couldn't move, let alone help the Third Prince.
Elder Cang Xuan had grasped the seventh layer of the Force of Heaven and Earth, while the Town King's Force of Heaven and Earth had only comprehended the fifth layer.
This was another huge gap.
The Town King was suppressed by elder Cang Xuan's aura, while the Third Prince couldn't react in time. He could only watch as Chen Zong attacked with his sword.
With a flash of sword light, it cut through the sky and slashed down.
This sword, must kill!
When the Red Jade Sword arrived in front of the Third Prince, the jade pendant worn by the Third Prince suddenly exploded. A faint yellow light spread out, firmly protecting the Third Prince.
Outside the faint yellow light, nine illusory dragons circled around, endlessly roaming.
Chen Zong's sword slashed at the yellow light, but was blocked by a flexible force. He couldn't break it, and felt a strong rebound.
Seeing this, the Third Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
"You dare to attack, kill him for me." The Third Prince roared with incomparable anger. His anger soared to the sky, and his head almost exploded. His eyes were red, burning with killing intent.
However, no one attacked.
It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't.
The Town King was suppressed by elder Cang Xuan's aura, and the two seventh layer Mortal stage experts hiding nearby were also suppressed by elder Cang Xuan's aura. Let alone attack, they couldn't even move.
Chen Zong wasn't surprised in the slightest, and attacked again.
Sword after sword slashed at the Nine Dragon Yellow Light surrounding the Third Prince's body. Every strike was powerful enough to instantly kill an ordinary Fourth Tier Human Realm warrior. However, every strike that landed on the Third Prince's protective yellow light only created layers of ripples.
"Where is he?" The Third Prince was both shocked and furious. As he roared, he tried to dodge, but he couldn't. His speed couldn't compare to Chen Zong's, and a single strike was enough to make him a turtle in a jar. The protective yellow light could only protect him, but was unable to give him the strength to fight against Chen Zong.
Moreover, this protection wasn't permanent. Once the protective power was depleted, the Third Prince would be defenseless, and would be at the mercy of others.
He didn't know why the sect master and first elder of the Wanluo Sect hadn't appeared. He had already sentenced them to death in his heart, and would execute them after this matter was settled.
"Town King, please help." The Third Prince had no choice but to ask the town king for help. He thought that the town king wasn't helping because he was testing him.
What he didn't know was that the town king had long wanted to help, but was unable to.
Chen Zong slashed out sword after sword. He wasn't in a hurry. Now that the situation was settled, he treated the Third Prince as a practice partner.
The Heart Sword Dao Foundation Form. Every strike was the same, but the trajectory of every strike was different, and the mysteries contained in every strike seemed to be different as well.
Chen Zong wasn't in a hurry either, and carefully experienced the differences in every strike.
Yu Wuya was stunned. He felt that every strike of Chen Zong's seemed to take him a lifetime to comprehend. Under such observation, Yu Wuya's sword skills began to improve.
Slash, slash, slash!
Chen Zong had entered a mysterious state. The power of heaven and earth moved with every strike, reaching the second level of sword force. Every strike seemed to be accompanied by the roar of wind and thunder.
"The second level of sword force!" The town king's heart grew increasingly shocked, and also increasingly bitter.
The trip to the Eastern Continent once again flashed through his mind. The heart tribulation and questioning his heart made Chen Zong even more determined.
Another strike was unleashed. This time, Chen Zong's consciousness seemed to fall into a mysterious state.
Why did he practice the sword?
Why did he use the sword?
Ask his heart!
In the past and present, he practiced the sword because he liked it. Because when he practiced the sword, he had to use the sword.
There was no need to think too much, no need to be confused. Everything was in the heart, everything was in the sword.
A mysterious aura spread from Chen Zong's body, startling elder Cang Xuan a little. Soon after, Chen Zong swung his sword again.
The trajectory of this strike was very simple. It was just a straight line, without the slightest change. It was like a child randomly swinging a branch, but it contained indescribable mysteries.
This strike was aimed at the deepest part of one's heart.
But this strike contained an unparalleled sharpness that was unstoppable.
The moment this strike was unleashed, Chen Zong felt the dark clouds in the sky instantly dissipate, and only the heavenly path was before his eyes.
A strike to the heart!
