(There's also a monthly ticket, right?)
A tall, maroon horse galloped. The sound of its hooves sounded like a drum, kicking up dust as it moved forward.
This horse was called Red Blaze. It was a fine breed with a strong ability to carry weight, a strong body, and great endurance. It could travel a thousand miles in a day with ease. Its mane was fiery red, and when it ran, it looked like a burning flame that was constantly jumping. Due to the difficulty in raising it, one horse was worth tens of thousands of White Jade Coins.
Chen Zong could afford it, but this kind of fine horse required even more meticulous feeding and care. It was very troublesome, so this Red Blaze was rented from the Seven Lights Martial Academy's stable. It had to be mortgaged for ten thousand White Jade Coins, and the daily rent was a hundred White Jade Coins. The daily rent would be settled after a few days.
It was said that there was a kind of horse with demon beast bloodline that could easily travel three thousand miles in a day. It could even travel five thousand miles in a day. It did not eat grass, only meat, and could fight with a rank one demon beast. It was called Scarlet Eyes Colored Glass, and each of them was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of White Jade Coins.
There were two kinds of missions in Hundred Affair Pavilion. One was a unique mission, and there was only one. It would be gone once it was accepted. The other was a group mission that could be accepted by many people.
Searching for Blood Sinking Jade was a group mission, and Chen Zong was just one of the many people who accepted this mission.
Blood Sinking Jade was a jade that had absorbed blood and was formed after many years of precipitation. It had a wide range of uses, and was also the main material needed to create pure blood energy in Seven Lights Martial Academy's Boiling Blood Pool.
After Chen Zong accepted the mission, he searched for the relevant information and finally determined the place where Blood Sinking Jade was produced. It required a place where blood had settled for many years, and the existence of jade. Both conditions were indispensable.
During the fall of the Kingdom Era, human martial practitioners and demon beast armies fought madly. Countless people died, and blood flowed everywhere. However, the battle was mainly concentrated in a few places. Among them, the place closest to Seven Lights Martial Academy was called Black Blood Battlefield, and there was a jade mine there.
After three days, Chen Zong finally arrived at Black Blood Town outside Black Blood Battlefield.
"Sir, are you having a meal or staying?" A waiter immediately greeted him as he rode the Red Blaze and stopped in front of an inn called Grand Inn.
Chen Zong handed the reins to the waiter and said unhurriedly, "Let's have dinner. Bring me some of your best dishes. Also, take good care of this horse. I'll come back to get it later and we'll settle the score."
"Okay, Sir, please take the horse tag. When the time comes, you can take the horse with this tag." The waiter's movements were skillful, and he let the coachman of the inn take the red horse to the stable inside to feed and wash it.
They found an empty table and sat down. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Chen Zong glanced around and looked around.
They were all martial artists. Most of them were at the Blood Qi realm with a small minority being at the Force Refinement realm. After all, although the Blood Sedimentation Jade was not cheap, it was more useful for Blood Qi realm martial artists. For Force Refinement realm martial artists, other than selling it for money, there was no benefit to their own cultivation.
Some were chatting and laughing, while others were drinking alone.
Chen Zong was sizing up others, and others were sizing him up as well.
"Young man, are you going to enter the Black Blood Battlefield?" A middle-aged man sat down directly in front of Chen Zong and asked in a sarcastic manner.
"What's the matter?" Chen Zong glanced at the other party. He had a scar on his face and looked a little fierce. However, he was trying his best to squeeze out a friendly smile, which was a little strange.
"The Black Blood Battlefield has never been peaceful. It's very dangerous to enter alone. Let's team up and divide the things we find equally," the man with a scar on his face said.
"Thank you, but I don't have to enter the Black Blood Battlefield," Chen Zong said unhurriedly.
Before he came, he had heard that the Black Blood Battlefield was very chaotic and dangerous. If he rashly teamed up with someone he didn't know, who knew if danger was around him.
After eating his fill and resting for a while, Chen Zong paid the bill and walked out of the inn. He strode towards the Black Blood Battlefield.
The middle-aged man with a scar on his face smiled sinisterly and left the inn as well.
"The innkeeper can get another sum of money from selling the horse." Seeing this scene, the waiter couldn't help but shake his head and talk to himself. Although he didn't have any cultivation, he had stayed here for a few years and had seen many people coming and going. With a glance, he knew that Chen Zong was a rookie and that the middle-aged man with a scar wasn't a good person.
For those young masters or disciples of martial academies, if they entered the Black Blood Battlefield for the first time without anyone following them, they would usually be inexperienced and would be easily slaughtered. As for the horse tags, the inn had some background. Very few villains dared to take the horse tags that they robbed and killed. In the end, the horse would become the innkeeper's. After selling it, they would be able to get a sum of jade money.
He had seen too many things like this and wasn't surprised at all.
Black Blood Town was actually not big. Those who lived in the town were all martial artists. Other than the fixed inns and restaurants, there was a lot of mobility.
After walking out of Black Blood Town for another ten minutes, Chen Zong noticed that the color of the ground under his feet was gradually changing. It was originally a little grayish, but it gradually became darker. As he walked further, it became reddish-brown, like the color of dried blood.
In front of him, there was a green stone tablet that was a few meters tall. On it, there were four blood-red words — Black Blood Battlefield.
Seeing these four words, Chen Zong had an indescribable feeling. It was as if he saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His nose seemed to smell a strong smell of blood, and his ears seemed to hear countless shouts.
In an instant, he broke away from the illusion. His forehead was unknowingly covered with sweat.
"What a terrifying place." Chen Zong wiped off his sweat with a solemn expression.
Bypassing the green stone tablet, Chen Zong immediately felt the change in the aura. That stone tablet was like the dividing point of two worlds.
The smell of blood pervaded from all directions and crazily entered his nostrils. Chen Zong was not used to it and frowned. Fortunately, martial artists' bodies were stronger than ordinary people, and so was their willpower. If it was an ordinary person who entered here, it wouldn't take long for them to be unable to bear it.
The surroundings were desolate, and there was no sign of human habitation. There was no reason for desolation and loneliness.
"Little brother, didn't you say that you don't want to enter the Black Blood Battlefield?" A teasing voice came from behind. Chen Zong turned around and saw two people walking quickly toward him. One of them was the middle-aged man with a scar on his face who invited Chen Zong to team up. The other person was someone he had never seen before. He was dressed in black.
"What does this have to do with you?" Chen Zong asked in return.
"Of course it has to do with me. You lied to me, so you have to compensate me." The middle-aged man with a scar on his face snickered. A murderous glint flashed across his eyes.
Chen Zong couldn't help but laugh. What a robber's logic. However, he wasn't afraid of them. The Vitality waves they emitted indicated that they were at the eighth level of the Vitality realm. No matter how powerful they were, he could still escape.
"Cut the crap. Just kill him." The other person immediately spoke. He was filled with murderous intent and rushed toward Chen Zong like a cheetah. A black dagger suddenly appeared in his empty right hand. He sliced through the air and stabbed toward Chen Zong's heart mercilessly.
The middle-aged man with a scar on his face also made his move. He pulled out the machete on his back and rushed toward Chen Zong. He swung his machete heavily.
The two of them didn't use any graded martial arts, but they cooperated well. It was obvious that this wasn't their first time.
"You're courting death." Chen Zong snorted coldly. He pulled out his sword from its scabbard and stabbed toward the middle-aged man in black. The sword was so fast that it looked like a star was magnifying in front of the middle-aged man in black. The third level of the True Sword Heaven's End Skill increased the power of this sword by twenty percent.
The middle-aged man in black was experienced in killing. He didn't panic at all. With a twist of his wrist, the dagger immediately changed shape and slashed toward Chen Zong's neck.
Chen Zong's transformation was even more intense. In an instant, the long sword in his hand changed shape five times. His body and steps synchronized. Not only did he block the middle-aged man in black's dagger, he also avoided the scar-faced man's machete and stabbed his sword toward the middle-aged man in black.
Suddenly, the sword light turned into a lone star. After it disappeared, the middle-aged man in black's throat was pierced and he fell to the ground, dead.
"Stop." The scar-faced man immediately retreated.
"Die." Chen Zong growled. The world of martial artists was like this. They killed decisively.
They didn't attack easily and didn't have the intention to kill easily. Once they drew their sword, once they had the intention to kill, they would use everything they had to kill their opponent to prevent future troubles. Unless there was a special reason.
Dazzling, dazzling, stunning the world!
One sword, the lone star, dazzling, dazzling, like a flying star, like a shooting star chasing after the moon. It was unrivaled.
Lone Star Illuminating the World!
The scar-faced man immediately unleashed his Vitality Force and displayed his powerful machete technique. The machete light was like a waterfall falling from the sky. It was fierce and continuous, but it couldn't resist the dazzling lone star at all. It was pierced directly.
The lone star disappeared and the machete light dissipated. There was a clear sword hole between the scar-faced man's eyebrows. Blood flowed out from it.
The sword pierced through!
Two Qi and Blood Realm Level Eight martial artists with bad intentions died under Chen Zong's sword just like that.
The two of them were veterans who had hunted down rookies several times. They cooperated well every time, even if the opponent's cultivation level was Qi and Blood Realm Level Eight. This time, they kicked an iron plate.
There was a saying in ancient times, "If you hunt wild geese all day long, you will be pecked by the wild geese."
After killing the two of them, Chen Zong only lamented the dangers of the Black Blood Battlefield. He didn't feel uncomfortable. The world of martial artists was like this. If you wanted to move forward, you had to either kill or be killed.
The dagger and machete used by the two of them were treasure-iron weapons. Chen Zong didn't care about them. In the past, treasure-iron weapons were very rare and could only be bought with two to three thousand White Jade Coins. Now, they were nothing. Only treasure-iron weapons were really rare.
If he wanted to leave the Black Blood Battlefield, it wouldn't be a problem to bring the dagger and machete. However, he wanted to enter the Black Blood Battlefield now. If he brought the two of them, it would only consume more of his physical strength.
Giving up on the dagger and machete, Chen Zong still found other things on the two of them. For example, a total of more than thirty thousand White Jade Coins, a small number of Energy Pills and Scarlet Blood Pills. It was also a harvest.
Ignoring the two corpses, Chen Zong looked into the distance and walked forward.
The Black Blood Battlefield was very big. There didn't seem to be any specific pattern to the distribution of the Blood Sinking Jade. Those who were lucky might find a Blood Sinking Jade ore as they walked. After knocking it open, they would be able to obtain the Blood Sinking Jade. Those who were unlucky might not even find a single Blood Sinking Jade ore after wandering around the Black Blood Battlefield for more than ten days.
Ever since he obtained the mysterious sword tip, Chen Zong felt that his luck had always been good. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could find a Blood Sinking Jade ore and obtain the Blood Sinking Jade.
