A figure flew close to the ground at an astonishing speed. Then, an extremely sharp roar rang out, as if it had swept over from afar. It was deafening.
Wherever it passed, the hard ground seemed to have been cut open by a giant blade, leaving behind a long and terrifying gully.
Like a hot knife through butter, nothing could stop it. Everything in its path was smashed into pieces.
Coincidentally, a silhouette appeared on the path. Sensing the terrifying aura fluctuations, the expression of the Dragon Sword Aristocrat Family drastically changed. Without any hesitation, he immediately erupted with his full speed and shifted to the side, intending to dodge. However, he was still a bit too slow. He only managed to dodge the majority of the attacks, and only his arm was brushed past.
Immediately after, his body trembled violently as the terrifying power bombarded him, causing his left arm to explode into a bloody pulp. The shocking aftershock bombarded his entire body, causing cracks to appear all over his body. Large amounts of blood continuously gushed out from his body. His face was pale and incomparably panicked. He continuously took out pills to heal his injuries, but it was to no avail. His injuries were too severe.
That was the power of an earth spirit realm attack, and he was only at the false earth spirit realm. The difference was too great.
"I can't accept this …" In the end, the disciple of the Longjian family could only die with a strong sense of unwillingness.
… …
Another earth vein spring disappeared. The earth vein energy contained within had been completely absorbed by Chen Zong, leaving not a single drop behind. However, there were still no signs of him breaking through to the earth spirit realm.
"I've already absorbed three springs." Chen Zong frowned slightly. He could feel that the energy in his body was increasing, but he still couldn't break through. There was only one reason for this, the energy he had accumulated was still not enough.
His foundation was simply too sturdy, so sturdy that it was astonishing.
The stronger the foundation, the more energy he would need to break through.
"Let's continue searching." Chen Zong thought to himself.
Suddenly, Chen Zong's expression changed slightly. His eyes focused as he looked forward with a trace of light. A powerful aura was approaching at an astonishing speed. The speed was so fast that it surprised Chen Zong.
"This kind of speed is obviously not something that can be achieved by someone of the Extreme Mortal Realm. Combined with the fluctuations of this aura, he's undoubtedly at the Earth Spirit Realm." Chen Zong couldn't help but think to himself.
Everyone who had entered the Earth Tide was either at the Extreme Mortal Stage or the False Earth Spirit Stage. Not a single one of them was at the true Earth Spirit Stage. However, if they were lucky enough to enter the Earth Spirit Stage, they would be able to break through to the true Earth Spirit Stage, just like the person he had killed earlier.
Who would've thought that he'd run into another earth spirit realm?
If it had been anyone else, their expression would've changed greatly and they would've hurriedly exploded forth with full speed, running as far away as they could to prevent the earth spirit realm cultivator from encountering them.
However, Chen Zong didn't. Instead, he looked calm.
Although the aura emanating from this earth spirit realm cultivator was strong, it still couldn't compare to the one he'd killed before. There was a difference, so what was there to fear?
Gui Dao also saw the person in front of him. His sharp eyesight allowed him to see that person clearly.
"Someone from the Extreme Sky Association." A thought flashed through his mind as a shocking killing intent burst forth from his heart.
Gui Dao was a member of the Skyscraper Association and was one of the geniuses that the Skyscraper Association had focused on nurturing. The Skyscraper Association and the Extreme Sky Association were like fire and water. Now that he saw the other party, he didn't care about the reason or anything else and would just kill him directly.
Thinking of this, his speed increased by a few notches as he charged forward at an even more shocking speed. He straightened his palm like a blade and a pitch-black light spread out from his palm. It quickly condensed to the edge of his palm and emitted a shocking aura.
"You're lucky to be able to die under the strength of an earth spirit realm cultivator." Gui Dao said to himself. He straightened his palm like a blade and slashed forward. The pitch-black blade light carried an extremely chilling killing intent as it pierced through the air towards Chen Zong.
Chen Zong's body tensed up as a chill swept through his entire body. His eyes were also filled with the pitch-black blade light.
This was a strange blade strike. It had a fleeting and unpredictable nature, and its power was astonishing.
Chen Zong didn't have any intention of dodging. Instead, he unsheathed his sword and stabbed forward. The sword light was like a blooming star that pierced through the sky and pierced towards the pitch-black blade light with astonishing sharpness.
The sword was unstoppable and unstoppable. The moment it collided with the pitch-black blade light, the extremely condensed energy instantly pierced through it and carried a terrifying killing intent as it pierced towards Gui Dao.
Gui Dao's expression changed as he found it hard to believe. He was an earth spirit realm cultivator, but the opponent's aura wasn't even at the earth spirit realm. How could this be?
He didn't have much time to think as he pulled out the long blade on his back. The pitch-black blade was covered with ghost face patterns. As the blade tore through the air, it let out a sharp howl that sounded like the weeping of ghosts.
The blade slashed through the air as the ferocious ghost face filled the air. It let out an extremely sharp howl towards Chen Zong that was like a demon's voice that pierced through one's brain.
Chen Zong only felt the terrifying sound wave ruthlessly pierce into his mind like a blade. It crazily twisted and tried to shatter his consciousness. However, Chen Zong's consciousness had been tempered thousands of times and had long since surpassed the Extreme Mortal realm. It wouldn't lose out to an ordinary earth spirit realm cultivator and was unshakable.
Holding the sword with both hands, the illusory sword energy pierced through and caused the body of the Heavenly Will Sword to tremble. A dense buzzing sound filled the heavens and earth as it counteracted the extremely sharp howl of the ghost face.
Heavenly Scar!
The sword slashed out and the incomparably sharp edge of the blade tore through the air. It turned into a pitch-black sword scar that seemed to extend endlessly.
Although he hadn't broken through to the earth spirit realm after absorbing the power of the three earth vein springs, the constant accumulation of power within his body allowed Chen Zong's strength to take another step forward. The power of this strike was even stronger than before.
Even if Fei Mingyu had been reborn, he would still have to deal with it with all his strength, not to mention that Gui Dao's strength was clearly inferior to Fei Mingyu's.
Exerting all his strength, Gui Dao grasped the blade with both hands. Black light filled the air and a ghostly aura filled the air. All of the earth vein spirit energy in his body erupted and poured into the blade. Every ghost face on the blade seemed to come alive as they let out terrifying screams.
"Hellless Ghost Blade … Ultimate Move!" Gui Dao roared as the pitch-black blade light tore through the air.
With a crack, the pitch-black blade light paused for a moment before it crumbled inch by inch under Heavenly Scar.
Although Chen Zong hadn't reached the earth spirit realm in terms of cultivation, the illusory sword energy wasn't inferior to the opponent's earth vein spirit energy in terms of strength. In fact, it was even stronger. Heavenly Scar had been perfected by Chen Zong time and time again and its power had increased even further.
Although Gui Dao's ultimate move was strong, it still wasn't enough.
The blade light shattered and Heavenly Scar's sword light reflected Gui Dao's horrified face. His high spirits from breaking through to the earth spirit realm had been shattered in an instant. Gui Dao also realized the gap between him and his opponent. This level of strength was too terrifying. Even Fei Mingyu, the number one Extreme Mortal Realm expert in the Skyscraper Society, wasn't his opponent.
"Run!" The thought immediately grew like wild grass and filled his mind.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gui Dao's body immediately flashed. Layers of ghostly shadows appeared as his real body dodged Tian Huan's sword. Using a shocking speed, he swiftly fled into the distance. Those layers of ghostly shadows were completely shattered by Tian Huan's sword.
Following that, Chen Zong swung his sword again. This strike seemed ordinary, but there was an indescribable spirit hidden within it. It followed a trace of mysterious guidance and naturally streaked across the sky, heading straight for Gui Dao.
Gui Dao's protective spiritual energy was instantly torn apart by the unavoidable Telepathic Pull. Even his Earthline Physique couldn't withstand the sharpness of this strike.
The Earthline Physique of the earth spirit realm was actually divided into strong and weak ones.
If there was a cultivator who refined their physique, their Earthline Physique would be even stronger after the transformation. Gui Dao wasn't proficient in refining his physique, so there was an obvious gap between his physique and Fei Mingyu's.
The sword slashed through Gui Dao's body, leaving behind a deep sword wound. It was so deep that bones could be seen, and blood flowed out.
Gui Dao was terrified. Although this strike didn't take his life, it had completely shattered the last trace of hope in his heart.
Run, run, run!
Without any hesitation or reluctance, Gui Dao slapped his Dantian. The tyrannical vibration caused an even more terrifying force to burst forth from his Dantian. The force enveloped his entire body, forming a protective barrier that firmly protected Gui Dao.
Chen Zong's third strike also arrived, slashing at the barrier. However, the barrier only trembled slightly and didn't break.
After blocking Chen Zong's strike, Gui Dao quickly fled while taking pills to heal his wounds.
The fourth strike … the fifth strike …
Strike after strike landed on Gui Dao's body, but they were all blocked by the protective barrier. It was difficult to break through, let alone hit Gui Dao.
"Don't even think about escaping." Chen Zong said inwardly. He immediately moved, activating the Profound Heart Transformation to the extreme. He quickly chased after Gui Dao while swinging his sword continuously.
It was reasonable for the other party to have a protective treasure on him. However, protective treasures either had a time limit, and their power would disappear when the time limit was up, or they had a limit. As long as one kept attacking, they would be able to break through it.
Gui Dao was a member of the Skyscraper Association. His talent wasn't weak, and he had reached the Earthly Spirit Realm. His strength was stronger than ordinary Earthly Spirit Realm experts. If he could leave this place alive, he might bring great losses to the Empyrean Association in the future.
Gui Dao was a member of the Empyrean Association, but he had already received a lot of benefits without making any contributions. This was a favor that he had to repay sooner or later. Now, killing a member of the Skyscraper Association not only reduced his own enemies, but also the Empyrean Association's enemies. In a way, it was a contribution to the Empyrean Association.
Gui Dao kept fleeing while Chen Zong chased after him. Gui Dao was shocked to find that his opponent's speed wasn't inferior to his own.
Who the hell is this guy? He's not even at the Earthly Spirit Realm, but he's already so terrifying. Run, I must escape! After leaving this place, I must immediately inform Sir Maniac and have him kill him. Otherwise, he'll definitely become a formidable enemy of the Skyscraper Association in the future, a hidden danger.
Chen Zong did not give up. He was like a shadow. His Will Heavenly Sword kept swinging out. Strike after strike landed on Ghost Knife's defensive power, causing it to tremble. Layers of ripples kept spreading out.
