The Wings of Light Cloud was light and agile, carrying Chen Zong's body and flying across the sky at an astonishing speed, leaving only a bright yellow aurora behind.
"Damn it!" The Ghost Face Guard at the first stage of the Profound Sky Realm was furious.
Every time he got close to his opponent, his opponent would explode with an astonishing speed and escape, making it impossible for him to get close and use his strength that was far superior to his opponent.
If he could get close enough, he would be able to restrain his opponent with the power of the Heavenly Veins, making it impossible for him to escape. Unfortunately, his opponent's reaction was too fast and so was his speed.
Realizing that his opponent had been chasing him, Chen Zong flew for half an hour this time. When he stopped, he didn't stop, but continued to move forward with his movement skill. At the same time, he took out his spiritual source to replenish the Wings of Light Cloud's energy. When the Wings of Light Cloud's energy was fully replenished, he used it again to fly.
This repeated many times, and after experiencing several dangers, Chen Zong finally arrived at the border of Bright Sword Continent.
On this side, the Bright Sword Continent was adjacent to another large continent, the Proud Sword Continent. The Proud Sword Continent was a large continent governed by the Proud Sword Heavenly Sect. Compared to the Bright Sword Continent, not only was the territory more vast, the overall strength was also more powerful.
However, although the Proud Sword Continent and the Bright Sword Continent were adjacent to each other, there was a gap between them, and this gap was a desert.
The desert was boundless and the sand was golden, as if it was paved with golden sand, dazzling and eye-catching.
This desert was called the Sword Burial Desert. If one wanted to reach the Bright Sword Continent from the Proud Sword Continent, they had to pass through the Sword Burial Desert, which was very dangerous. This was also one of the reasons why the Proud Sword Continent didn't know about the opening of the Gold Spirit Secret Territory.
The other reason was that when the Gold Spirit Secret Territory opened, the powerful forces of the Bright Sword Continent and the Nine Star Continent blocked the news and occupied it.
The Sword Burial Desert wasn't listed as a danger zone, but it wasn't any worse than a danger zone. The desert beasts lurking in the desert came and went like ghosts. They could be said to be the killers of the desert. In addition, there were some bandits running amok. What was worse was that they encountered natural disasters like sandstorms. Even Profound Sky Realm experts could be killed.
Even so, there were still some people who would cross the Burial Sword Desert to do business between the Proud Sword Continent and the Bright Sword Continent.
As he looked at the boundless desert, Chen Zong did not stop at all. He took a step forward and charged into the Sword Burial Desert like a gust of wind.
As soon as he stepped into the desert, he could feel the blazing heat everywhere.
The blazing sun in the sky seemed to become even hotter because of this. Beams of light shot down from the sky like fiery swords. This kind of blazing high temperature was unbearable for martial artists with low cultivation. It wouldn't take long for them to dry up. If it were an ordinary person, they would die in less than a quarter of an hour due to excessive loss of water.
However, this kind of high temperature didn't affect Chen Zong in the slightest. Any normal Transcendent wouldn't be affected because their physique had already undergone a transformation, making them different from ordinary cultivators, allowing them to better adapt to a variety of environments.
The blazing heat and environment of the desert buried the traces and aura fluctuations left behind by Chen Zong, making it even harder for the First Layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm Ghostface Guard to catch up.
When the First Layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm Ghostface Guard caught up to him and saw the endless golden desert, he was suddenly in a dilemma.
At this point, even with his outstanding chasing ability, he couldn't do anything. He directly lost track of Chen Zong and couldn't detect the aura he left behind.
"Chase!" Gritting his teeth, the First Layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm Ghostface Guard made up his mind.
Sir Maniac sent him and the others to deal with an Earth Spirit Realm cultivator, but in the end, a group of Earth Spirit Realm Ghostface Guards was killed by the other party. As a Heavenly Profound Realm Ghostface Guard, he couldn't do anything to the other party and even let the other party escape. Even if he didn't chase after him, he would still be punished.
The Sword Burial Desert was indeed very dangerous, but with his strength, as long as he was careful enough and didn't encounter a natural disaster, he would basically be fine.
In a flash, the First Layer of the Heavenly Profound Realm Ghostface Guard immediately fled into the Sword Burial Desert. However, he couldn't find any trace of Chen Zong and could only move forward based on his senses.
… …
About half a day later, two figures flew over from afar like streaks of light in the sky. Wherever they passed, two vacuum belts spread out for hundreds of miles.
The newcomers were Maniac and Ghosthand.
"Sir, it seems that this little thing has entered the Sword Burial Desert." Ghosthand's hoarse voice sounded, obscure and unpleasant to the ears.
"He thinks he can escape by entering the Sword Burial Desert." A cold smile hung on the corner of Maniac's mouth, but a cold light flashed through his eyes. "Ghosthand, you and I will split into two groups. If you find him, kill him without mercy."
"Yes." Ghosthand immediately responded.
Previously, Maniac had planned to capture Chen Zong alive in order to interrogate Chen Zong about his secrets, but now he had given up on this idea.
It was better to kill him to prevent any accidents from happening to Tu Sheng.
In an instant, Maniac and Ghosthand split up and entered the Sword Burial Desert at the same time, advancing in different directions. They also released their spiritual senses and covered a radius of hundreds of miles, covering everything within that radius. If there was even the slightest movement in the wind, it would immediately be discovered.
In other words, if Chen Zong appeared within this radius of hundreds of miles, he wouldn't be able to escape from Maniac or Ghosthand's pursuit.
Fortunately, Chen Zong had entered the Sword Burial Desert nearly a day earlier than Maniac and Ghosthand. With Chen Zong's speed, he had already advanced far enough that he wouldn't be found in a short time.
… …
Golden sand sputtered like waves in the sky. A pitch-black cold light tore through the sky like a death god's scythe with terrifying killing intent, fiercely stabbing toward Chen Zong's body.
Chen Zong's eyes flashed as he clearly saw the pitch-black cold light. It was a huge scorpion tail that looked like a huge scythe. It was extremely terrifying.
An ordinary Earthly Spirit Realm early stage cultivator wouldn't be able to dodge this attack and would be killed before they could even react.
However, Chen Zong wasn't an Earthly Spirit Realm early stage cultivator. Not only did he see the attack clearly, he even grasped its trajectory. His figure flashed and dodged the fierce attack of the scorpion tail. He unsheathed his long sword and stabbed it into the golden sand.
The sword light was extremely sharp and condensed into a beam of light that pierced through the golden sand.
The huge scorpion beast hiding under the golden sand was directly pierced through. The terrifying sword Qi twisted its body and destroyed its vitality.
After killing the scorpion beast with a single sword strike, Chen Zong didn't stop and immediately moved away.
There were many insect beasts living in the Sword Burial Desert and almost all of them were at the Transcendent Realm. The weakest were at the Early Mortal Realm and the strongest were at the Late Profound Heaven Realm.
Of course, there were very few insect beasts at the Profound Heaven Realm and they rarely appeared. It was also a kind of luck to encounter them. The more active insect beasts were at the Extreme Mortal Realm and Earthly Spirit Realm.
Most of the insect beasts were hiding under the sand. With their unique sensing ability, they could sense all movements in the desert and attack.
For the insect beasts in the desert, everything was prey that could be hunted. Even other insect beasts were prey.
In this place, the law of the jungle was played to the extreme.
After a while, Chen Zong saw a caravan. The caravan didn't look big and only had a few dozen people. Most of them were guards. Most of them were at the Extreme Mortal Realm and a few were at the Earthly Spirit Realm.
With the existence of the Mustard Seed Bag, many goods could be stored in it. It was much lighter and didn't require a large number of people to travel. While mobilizing a large number of people, it would also delay the process.
However, the Mustard Seed Bag wasn't omnipotent. After all, no matter how good the Mustard Seed Bag was, there was still a limit to its space. If a trading firm wanted to expand and earn more profits, it naturally needed to transport and sell more goods. Therefore, every caravan would carry many Mustard Seed Bags with them when they traveled. Each Mustard Seed Bag was filled with goods.
With so many goods, it was natural that there would be escorts to avoid accidents.
The appearance of Chen Zong immediately made the faces of the several dozen people in the caravan turn cold. Their cold eyes fell on Chen Zong, as if if Chen Zong made the slightest move, they would immediately attack him.
The Transcendents who could escort a caravan through the Sword Burial Desert were all battle-hardened. Each of them had walked through many life and death situations. None of them were easy to deal with.
Chen Zong ignored them and continued forward. Everyone looked at Chen Zong's figure in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Keep going."
"Don't let your guard down, because the slightest bit of vigilance could cost you your life."
In this desert, man-made disasters were one thing, but there were also fierce and terrifying desert insects lurking around. Even more unlucky was encountering natural disasters, but relatively speaking, the probability of encountering natural disasters was very low.
"Boss, I found two targets. The first target is only one person, and the other target is a caravan with several dozen people," A strong man rushed to the one-eyed man and quickly reported.
"What's the cultivation of the first target?" The one-eyed man asked.
"I can't see his cultivation, but he's very young. I guess he's only at the Extreme Mortal Realm." The strong man smiled and said, "Based on my years of experience, this person has an extraordinary background. He's at least from a first-class force, and he's also a genius. He's very confident in himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to step into the Sword Burial Desert alone."
"I believe in your vision. Alright, take two brothers and kill that genius. See if there's anything good," The one-eyed man waved his hand and immediately said.
"Yes, Boss." The strong man smiled and called out to his two companions, who were not weak, and immediately went to Chen Zong.
"Brothers, follow me. Let's do something big," The one-eyed man shouted to the rest of the bandits.
"Let's go."
"I hope there are women."
The several dozen bandits were full of enthusiasm.
The Sword Burial Desert was very dangerous. Being a bandit was like having your head hanging on your waist. It could fall off at any time. The pressure was very high, and the way to vent was to kill people and play with women.
"You go and kill him," The strong man said to his left companion. The sturdy man laughed as he spoke to his companion on the left. His companion was an expert at the fifth level of the Extreme Mortal Realm, and he was very strong.
