The sky was ten thousand miles high and the horizon was boundless.
Above the Famed Sword Mountain Range, a bright yellow light soared into the sky and swept across the sky at an altitude of a thousand meters. It was light, agile, and swift like the wind and lightning.
As fast as lightning!
In the blink of an eye, the bright yellow light had flown over ten thousand meters.
Chen Zong felt incomparably carefree. Although he could also leap into the air and fly for a short period of time when he was in the Earth Spirit Realm, the highest altitude he could reach was a few hundred meters. Moreover, that couldn't be considered flying, but gliding. They were two different concepts.
But now, he could truly fly at an altitude of over a thousand meters. He didn't need to land to change his breathing and strength. Unless the power of the Wings of Light Cloud was exhausted, he could continue flying. Moreover, his flying speed wasn't slow. Chen Zong estimated that it was comparable to an ordinary third stage Sky Profound Realm expert.
In other words, even if he faced an ordinary third stage Sky Profound Realm expert, he still had hope of escaping if he used the Wings of Light Cloud.
There was a pair of wings on Chen Zong's back. The wings were two meters long and were formed by strands of bright yellow light ribbons that were as thick as fingers. They swayed unsteadily like seaweed.
As he flew, Chen Zong suddenly took out a mid rank spirit sword. As for his feet, the blade of the sword stuck close to his feet. It looked like he was flying on a sword.
However, this wasn't true flying on a sword. It was just Chen Zong's little mischievous hobby.
Before flying to the Famed Sword Mountain Range, Chen Zong found a deserted area and quickly landed. He put away the Wings of Light Cloud.
After refining the Wings of Light Cloud, he could store them into his body at will. Then, Chen Zong took out a mid rank spirit source and absorbed the energy of the mid rank spirit source to replenish the Wings of Light Cloud's consumption. At the same time, he used his movement skill to quickly leave.
Although the Wings of Light Cloud was good, using it to fly still consumed a lot of energy. It couldn't be maintained for too long. Chen Zong estimated that the Wings of Light Cloud's energy would be exhausted in about half an hour.
However, if he activated the Wings of Light Cloud's energy to increase his speed, the energy consumption would be lower.
After leaving the Famed Sword Mountain Range, Chen Zong flew out of the Bright Sword Continent. For this training trip, Chen Zong planned to leave the Bright Sword Continent and travel to other continents.
There was once a sword ancestor who left a maxim: Practicing the sword for a hundred years.
…
In a palace with a ferocious exterior and an oppressive interior, a tall and muscular figure sat on a throne. A terrifying pressure emanated from this person, filling the surroundings.
At this time, a figure wearing a black ghost mask rushed into the palace like a gust of wind. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Maniac, our men have found traces of Chen Zong of the Extreme Sky Association at the Ancient Tree Pavilion."
"Confirm his identity and capture him alive. If necessary, kill him." Mad Ghost's closed eyes suddenly opened, and an even more terrifying aura burst forth. The shocking pressure seemed to cause the entire palace to tremble as if it was about to collapse.
"Yes." The ghost-masked black-clothed man who was kneeling on one knee immediately replied. Then, his figure flashed, and transformed into a wisp of black wind as he left.
After the ghost-faced man left, Maniac closed his eyes again. A shocking pressure filled the surroundings, and traces of Heavenly Vein Power lingered around his body.
Ever since the Spirit Gold Secret Realm, Maniac regarded Chen Zong as a threat and wanted to get rid of him. Therefore, he ordered the Skyscraper Association's intelligence personnel to pay full attention to Chen Zong's movements and traces.
It was precisely because of this that they were able to discover Chen Zong's whereabouts within a day of his departure from Mingjian Mountain's Extreme Sky Association.
Whether it was Chen Zong himself, the Skyscraper Association's leader, or Sword Sovereign Azure Dragon, they all underestimated how much attention Maniac paid to Chen Zong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Chen Zong leave like this.
The Ancient Tree Pavilion was a rather famous scenic spot in Mingjian Continent. The reason why it was so famous was that a sword ancestor once discussed the sword here, and it was regarded as a much-told story.
After Chen Zong rested for a while in the ancient tree pavilion, he continued on his journey. Unexpectedly, in less than a quarter of an hour of rest, his tracks were discovered.
To tell the truth, Chen Zong had tried his best to hide himself.
Chen Zong was heading south, south of Mingjian Continent. After passing the Ancient Tree Pavilion, he would arrive at a large canyon about a thousand miles away. The canyon seemed to have been split open by an ancient giant. The left and right sides of the canyon were thousands of meters high, and the canyon was seven or eight meters wide.
With a swoosh, Chen Zong's figure had already rushed out and entered the canyon.
Suddenly, Chen Zong's eyes narrowed slightly. A cold light flashed past, but he didn't slow down, as if he didn't notice anything.
Silently, a black light fell from the sky. It was extremely fast, like a black aurora or a spiritual snake. It was amazingly agile. The moment it approached Chen Zong, it circled around him like lightning, trying to bind Chen Zong.
At the same time, black figures condensed around him. With a wave of their hands, black auroras broke through the air.
The black auroras intertwined and formed an inescapable net, cutting off all of Chen Zong's escape routes.
The attack was so sudden, and there was no room to dodge. All of his escape routes were blocked.
Chen Zong's expression did not change. He was as calm as the water in an ancient well. However, there was a sharp glint in his eyes. The black strands that came from the surroundings were elastic ropes. They were about the thickness of a pinky finger, and they emitted a terrifying coldness.
In a flash, Chen Zong unsheathed his sword. The Heavenly Will Sword turned into a ball of sword light and surrounded him, protecting him firmly.
The black ropes shot at him, but they were all blocked by the sword light.
However, each rope contained a terrible power, which made Chen Zong's long sword tremble.
Borrowing and Offloading, Strong Bamboo in the Wind, Double Strength!
With the use of various techniques, Chen Zong completely blocked and repelled the dozens of ropes coming from all around him. He stretched his body and soared into the sky like a bird. He was as fast as lightning, and his sword pierced through the air, stabbing towards a black figure falling from the sky.
This sword was incomparably sharp and held nothing back. Even an ordinary eighth level earth spirit realm cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand its sharpness and would be killed immediately.
However, the black figure falling from the sky was no small matter. His cultivation had reached the early ninth level of the earth spirit realm, and his strength was even stronger than an ordinary ninth level earth spirit realm cultivator. Facing Chen Zong's sharp sword, he shifted his body in midair, and the black light of his blade flashed, striking down like a waterfall from the nine heavens.
The other dozen or so black clothed figures all drew their long blades, displaying fierce and ruthless blade techniques as they attacked.
Chen Zong keenly discovered that these black-clothed men were all wearing ghost masks. The ghost masks were abnormally ferocious, and their eyes flashed with a frightening cold light. As long as one saw it once, it would definitely leave a deep impression.
Chen Zong was sure that this was the first time he'd seen these people. Each of their auras was shockingly strong, and they were at least at the seventh level of the earth spirit realm. There were even some eighth and ninth level earth spirit realm cultivators.
"Who are you?" Chen Zong asked as he used his sword to shatter the blade light and counterattack.
However, these black clothed figures didn't pay any attention to Chen Zong. They were all silent as they attacked madly with their ghost head blades.
"Ghost Face Guards!" Chen Zong spoke again, "You're Maniac's Ghost Face Guards!"
As a member of the Empyrean Association, and a very important one at that, Chen Zong naturally knew more about the Skyscraper Association, especially about Maniac. Chen Zong had listed him as his second must-kill target, so he naturally had to know more about him.
Maniac had a group of terrifying cultivators under his command. They were handpicked and trained by Maniac, and they only served Maniac. They usually wore ghost face masks, wore black clothes, and used ghost head blades as their weapons. They were called the Ghost Face Guards.
The Ghost Face Guards were Maniac's personal force. Strictly speaking, they weren't part of the Skyscraper Association. Therefore, they usually didn't appear when the Skyscraper Association was on the move.
Although the Ghost Face Guards rarely appeared, their fierce reputation frightened many people in the Bright Sword Continent. Not only was it because they were personally trained by Maniac, but it was also because their cultivation was profound, their strength was terrifying, and their ability to kill was astonishing.
It was rumored that when Maniac trained the Ghost Face Guards, he selected many of them and placed them in dangerous places. Only those who could kill their way out of these dangerous places were qualified to become Ghost Face Guards. The death rate was very high.
Therefore, even if the Ghost Face Guards weren't geniuses, they were still powerful enough to suppress ordinary cultivators of the same realm. They could even challenge those of a higher realm.
The black clothed figures didn't admit or deny it. Their purpose was to capture Chen Zong, and if they couldn't, then they would kill him.
Compared to capturing, it was easier for them to kill their target. This was because every Ghost Face Guard was selected from life and death situations. Their killing intent was very strong, and their killing techniques were astonishing. The cultivation methods and martial arts they practiced were all for the sake of killing.
The dozen or so powerful Ghost Face Guards gave Chen Zong quite a bit of pressure. Their saber techniques were very exquisite. Every saber technique abandoned all uselessness and magnificence. It was purely for the sake of killing the target. This was not some profound saber technique, but it was a very practical saber technique that focused on killing.
There was also a figure standing in the air above the canyon. It was a black clothed Ghost Face Guard with a ghost head blade at his waist. An even more shocking aura rippled around him. It was a Sky Profound Realm Ghost Face Guard.
If the Ghost Face Guards of the Earth Spirit Realm couldn't do anything to Chen Zong, then he, a Sky Profound Realm Ghost Face Guard, would do it.
Although he didn't think that capturing or killing an Earth Spirit Realm cultivator would require him to do it himself, it was better to be prepared. Besides, this was Lord Maniac's orders, and he had to do it well.
Now it seemed that this person had some ability. He was actually able to withstand the attacks of more than a dozen Ghost Face Guards at the late stage of the Earth Spirit Realm.
Chen Zong's body was immediately filled with a faint golden aura. Powerful ripples rippled outwards as he reached the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm.
Powerful strength filled his entire body as Chen Zong's eyes shone with a sharp golden light, shocking the world like the edge of a sword.
Heavenly Scar!
A sword slashed through the air, as if it was going to split the heavens and earth.
Three Ghost Face Guards paused as their bodies were cut in half, and blood sprayed into the air.
The Ghost Face Guards were indeed strong, but Chen Zong was even stronger. Especially when his cultivation level was higher than theirs, he was able to directly crush them.
After killing three Ghost Face Guards with a single slash, Chen Zong waved his sword again and pierced another Ghost Face Guard, killing it instantly.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
In the short span of a breath, more than half of the Ghost Face Guards had been killed by Chen Zong. There was only a small half left.
