The blade light was pitch-black, as if it had absorbed all the light in the surroundings, creating an area of absolute darkness. Chen Zong couldn't help but tremble, and a chill seemed to come from the deepest part of his body.
That darkness contained an extremely terrifying power. It directly pressed down on Chen Zong like a formless dark mountain. The pressure came from every direction, causing Chen Zong's body to stop and be unable to move.
In the darkness, an extremely sharp blade light came, and it was invincible.
"Explode!"
With a low shout, Chen Zong's eyes shot out an incomparably astonished light that flashed across the sky like a bolt of lightning. The tyrannical power of ascension to the heavens was also instantly compressed and erupted.
Holding the sword hilt with both hands, he slashed out as if he was carrying a mountain.
This sword was slow and steady, and contained an unparalleled power, which pushed Chen Zong's power to the extreme.
The sword slashed out, as if it had torn the dark sky, and left a fine sword light.
The Light Cloud Wings were activated, and his body became extremely light and agile, as if it had lost all its weight. With a thought, Chen Zong's body quickly rushed out, following the trace left by the sword.
In a flash, he passed by a Ghost Face Guard, and conveniently killed it with one slash.
With a boom, the pitch-black blade light slashed on the hard ground of the canyon, and the fragile ground was torn apart like tofu, collapsing inch by inch. The astonishing power was like a raging wave, rushing in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the area of hundreds of meters was filled with the terrifying black blade light, and everything within that area was strangled.
"Not dead!" The eyes of the Sky Profound Realm Ghost Face Guard in the sky emitted a cold light, and he stared at a bright yellow flowing light. His body flashed, and he turned into a black blade light, and chased after it.
Chen Zong already knew that there was a Sky Profound Realm expert here, and he still attacked him. With his ability, he was no match for a Sky Profound Realm expert, and he didn't even have the ability to resist.
Run!
Run, run as fast as you can.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Duan had gifted him the Wings of Light Cloud before he left. Otherwise, he would probably have died here.
The power of the Wings of Light Cloud was activated to the extreme, forming a pair of wings of light that gathered on his back. Each of the wings of light fluttered like the wings of a flying bird, increasing Chen Zong's speed to the extreme.
This was the speed of an ordinary third level Sky Profound Realm warrior.
The Ghost Face Guard of the Profound Sky Realm was furious. His cultivation was at the first level of the Profound Sky Realm, so his speed was a bit faster than an ordinary first level Profound Sky Realm warrior. However, he still couldn't compare with a second level Profound Sky Realm warrior, let alone a third level Profound Sky Realm warrior.
Chen Zong's speed was so fast that it was impossible to catch up to him. Even using the power of the Heavenly Veins to restrain him was difficult.
In just a few breaths of time, Chen Zong's figure disappeared from the eyes of the Heavenly Profound Realm Ghostface Guards.
"Damn it." The Sky Profound Realm Ghost Mask Guard's voice was cold and harsh, his killing intent like fire.
He was an expert of the Profound Sky Realm. Even if he was only at the first level of the Profound Sky Realm, he was still an invincible opponent of the Earth Spirit Realm. Now, an Earth Spirit Realm warrior had escaped right under his nose.
He could imagine how furious Lord Maniac would be when he reported this to the higher-ups.
"You guys send the news back immediately. I'm going to continue the chase." The Ghost Face Guard of the first level of the Profound Sky Realm ordered the other Ghost Face Guards of the Earth Spirit Realm who were still alive.
As soon as his voice fell, the Ghost Face Guard of the first level of the Profound Sky Realm immediately burst out with full speed, chasing after Chen Zong.
After flying for a while, the power of the Wings of Light Cloud was mostly consumed. Chen Zong didn't sense any danger, so he immediately landed, put away the Wings of Light Cloud, and absorbed the pure Spirit Qi of the mid-grade Spirit Source to recover.
Spirit Source was very precious to most warriors, but it was nothing to Chen Zong. He had a lot of it in his Void Ring, so he couldn't use it all.
"I have to be more careful from now on." Chen Zong said secretly.
In order to kill him, even a Profound Sky Realm warrior was sent out. He had to be careful.
…
"He escaped …" Mad Ghost, who was inside the oppressive palace, suddenly opened his eyes when he received the news. His saber light flashed out, and the void seemed to be split open. Two faint saber marks slowly disappeared in the air.
Anger grew from the bottom of his heart, like layers of volcanic magma, almost erupting.
"A bunch of trash!" A cold snort full of anger rushed out of Maniac's nose, turned into a storm, and directly bombarded the Ghost Face Guard who was kneeling in front of him. The Ghost Face Guard was bombarded and rolled back. His limbs seemed to fall apart, and he couldn't help but vomit blood. However, this Ghost Face Guard didn't dare to say anything, but quickly got up and knelt again, lowering his head, as if waiting for his punishment.
"Send Ghost Hand." Maniac didn't wantonly get angry, and quickly calmed down.
The first two times he wanted to kill Chen Zong, but Chen Zong escaped. Now that it was the third time, it didn't seem so hard to accept.
"Lord Ghost Hand …" The kneeling Ghost Face Guard couldn't help but tremble.
"I'll do it myself." Maniac said again, and the Ghost Face Guard trembled again.
Lord Maniac was going to do it himself!
Originally, Maniac didn't want to do it himself, because his cultivation had reached a critical juncture, and there was hope for further improvement. However, if Chen Zong didn't die, he couldn't be at ease. He always felt that one day, Chen Zong would become a big problem.
Maniac didn't have much confidence that he could be crowned emperor. It was too difficult. Thinking about Chen Zong's talent, he thought that one day, he would reach his height, or even surpass him. When that time came, it would be a disaster.
While he was still weak, he had to kill him to prevent future troubles.
Not long after, two figures flew out of the palace.
One of them was Maniac. He was tall and strong, and his broad shoulders seemed to be able to carry a mountain. The huge blade on his back made his aura even more shocking.
The other figure was slender and thin, giving people the feeling that he was a skeleton holding up a black robe. He wore half a ghost mask on his face. His hands were hidden in the long and wide sleeves of his robe. Occasionally, one would catch a glimpse of his black and withered hands, as if they weren't human hands, but the hands of an evil spirit.
"My lord, who is worthy of you personally taking action? Just leave it to me." Ghost Hand's voice was dark and gloomy. Listening to it made people feel uncomfortable and cold.
"Although this person is in the earth spirit realm, his talent is amazing. If he is given enough time to grow, he will become a big problem for us in the future." Maniac said neither quickly nor slowly. His attitude towards Ghost Hand was obviously different from how he treated the others.
Although Ghost Hand was also one of the Ghost Face Guards and a subordinate that he had personally trained, Ghost Hand was more special.
Firstly, Ghost Hand had been with him for the longest time. He had done many things for him and killed many people. He was loyal and devoted.
Secondly, Ghost Hand's cultivation was the highest among the Ghost Face Guards, reaching the eighth level of the Sky Profound Realm. His strength was also very strong.
"Earth spirit realm!" Ghost Hand was shocked when he heard this.
A mere earth spirit realm cultivator was worthy of Lord Maniac's attention. He was even sending him out personally.
Ghost Hand was suddenly filled with curiosity about the earth spirit realm cultivator.
"Let's go. No matter what, this person must die." Maniac's voice fell as he turned into a ray of black light and streaked across the sky like a shooting star.
Ghost Hand also moved at the same time, turning into a ghostly shadow and following closely behind Maniac as if he was weightless.
The flying speed of an expert of the eighth level of the Sky Profound Realm was very shocking. He passed by in the blink of an eye and disappeared.
… …
The dense forest was verdant and lush. Tall trees towered into the sky. Countless vines wrapped around the trees like coiled pythons.
There was a slight sound of wind breaking. A figure came from afar like a ray of light. The moment he appeared, he had already traversed thousands of meters and disappeared into the distance.
Chen Zong maintained a high speed and light body technique as he passed through the forest. This way, he could use the forest to hide his tracks and make it harder for others to find him.
The pursuit of the Ghost Face Guards made Chen Zong even more cautious.
This forest was very large and stretched as far as the eye could see.
Not long after, a figure flew over from the sky. He was wearing a black robe and a ghost mask. It was the first level of the Sky Profound Realm Ghost Face Guard who was chasing after Chen Zong.
The Ghost Face Guard paused in the air above the forest. His cold eyes shot out a sharp light as he scanned the forest below, looking for Chen Zong's tracks. Unfortunately, the forest was so dense and lush that it covered everything inside. He couldn't see anything at all.
"Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape from me." The Ghost Face Guard muttered to himself. His cold voice swept across like a cold wind.
Immediately, his body moved again and turned into a black light as he flew forward.
Although Chen Zong had tried his best to hide his tracks and eliminate the aura fluctuation he left behind, the Ghost Face Guard who was in the first level of the Sky Profound Realm was very good at tracking. He followed a little imperceptible trace and followed him.
Chen Zong, who was passing through the dense forest, suddenly had a feeling of fear, as if something bad was about to happen.
His eyes were as sharp as the edge of a sword, and he saw everything around him clearly.
In the bushes 700 meters to his right, a ferocious wolf was hiding. Its green eyes were staring at him, waiting for the best opportunity to pounce. On the branches of a big tree 1,300 meters to his left, a poisonous snake as thick as a thigh was coiled up. It didn't move at all. The color of its body was very similar to the color of the surrounding vines. If it weren't for Chen Zong's sharp eyes, he might have mistaken it for a vine.
But as soon as he got close to a certain distance, the hidden poisonous snake would erupt in an instant and attack him like lightning.
Chen Zong moved his body. He didn't move to the left or the right. Instead, he moved forward. His body was so light and fast that the ferocious wolf and the poisonous snake didn't have any chance.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zong finally rushed out of the forest. Behind the forest was a river that was thousands of meters wide. The river was very fast, rolling up heavy waves and rolling away.
His body didn't stop, and he walked across the water.
"Over there!" The Ghost Face Guard who was in the first level of the Sky Profound Realm narrowed his eyes. A cold light shot out and locked onto a figure in the distance. Immediately, he rushed over at full speed.
Feeling something, Chen Zong looked back at the sky. He saw a figure break through the sky at an amazing speed like a black lightning.
