Within the Lingwu Sacred World, countless powerhouses had left behind many relics.
Simple relics such as Storage Rings. Larger relics such as caves. Better relics such as secret realms, underground palaces, and so on.
Cultivators who went out to train might encounter some fortuitous encounters if they were lucky. For example, they might pick up a Storage Ring that contained vitality stones, other treasures, cultivation methods, and martial arts. They might also find something amazing.
All in all, the world of cultivators was very mysterious and full of endless possibilities.
Some useless people would suddenly encounter fortuitous encounters and become geniuses. Although there were not many such examples, there had been some since ancient times.
This underground palace might have been left behind by a powerhouse, or it might have been left behind by a powerful force in the past.
The passageway was very long. The footsteps of the three were very light, but in this quiet passageway, it was very ear-piercing.
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out. The three of them could not help but look back. Their expressions changed drastically, and their scalps went numb.
They saw that the door behind them had disappeared, and a mass of darkness appeared. It turned into a torrential flood that rushed toward them with an earth-shattering momentum.
They did not know what it was, but it made the three of them feel a great danger. It seemed that if they were hit by it, they would end up in a terrible state.
Run!
The three of them used their movement techniques and ran forward at an astonishing speed. However, the black wave behind them was surging with an astonishing momentum. It was getting faster and faster, as if it was faster than the three of them. It was getting closer and closer.
As if they had a tacit understanding, the three of them attacked together. Sword Qi and Saber Qi broke through the air and blasted toward the black wave, trying to stop it.
The Sword Qi and Saber Qi blasted on the black wave. Suddenly, there was an incomparably sharp sound that seemed to pierce through one's brain. Chen Zong and the other two's expressions changed drastically. Only then did they realize that it was not water, but a kind of strange little insects. They were very, very small, but there were so many of them that they formed a tidal wave.
The Sword Qi and Saber Qi from the three of them did indeed kill many of the little black insects. However, compared to the huge number of insects, it was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. It did not change anything at all.
On the contrary, the little black insects seemed to be enraged. They moved faster and made sharper sounds, which made Chen Zong and the other two's scalps go numb and almost explode.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three sharp whooshing sounds were heard, creating an astonishing roar. It was unknown whether it was Chen Zong, Li Zhenyi, or Gao Bojun, but they were all using their full strength, not daring to stop for even a moment, for fear of being caught up by the strange black insects behind them.
However, the strange black insect's speed was extremely fast, and it was getting closer and closer.
All of a sudden, a swarm of strange black insects flew towards Gao Bojun at an astonishing speed. In the face of danger, Chen Zong slashed out with his sword. The sword light was swift and sharp, killing all of the strange black insects.
"Thank you, Junior Brother." Gao Bojun felt a lingering fear.
Chen Zong saved both Gao Bojun and Li Zhenyi once. In turn, Li Zhenyi and Gao Bojun each helped to alleviate Chen Zong's crisis.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone jumped over a strangely shaped door. They looked back and saw that the strange black insects had stopped in front of the strange door.
It was as if the black passage belonged to them.
Seeing that the strange black insects did not continue to chase after them, Chen Zong and the other two could not help but feel relieved. Just now, it was really a matter of life and death. They were almost caught up by the strange black insects.
Although they did not know what the strange black insects were, they were a great threat to them. If they were caught, they might not even have a corpse left.
Compared with the vicious dog just now, these strange black insects were undoubtedly more terrifying.
"Let's recover our strength first." Li Zhenyi said. The three of them immediately sat down cross-legged to recover the strength they had consumed when using the Body Movements at full speed.
Chen Zong's Genuine Qi was majestic, vigorous, and pure. Even if he used the Body Movements at full speed, he only consumed less than half of his Genuine Qi. Therefore, he recovered faster. Moreover, Chen Zong had cultivated the Heavenly Cloud Illusory Fog Technique to the highest level and mastered the technique. His meridians had been refined by the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame and had become thicker and tougher. His speed was even more amazing.
After Chen Zong's Genuine Qi was completely recovered, Li Zhenyi and Gao Bojun were still recovering. Chen Zong was responsible for guarding and carefully observing.
The strange black insects had already retreated and disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared.
Looking ahead, the passageway had expanded several times and become even wider. About a hundred meters ahead, there were two statues standing on the left and right sides. The statues held spears in their hands and stood tall and straight, as if they were the most loyal guards.
After a while, Li Zhenyi and Gao Bojun also recovered all of their Spiritual Power. After such a rest, everyone's Spiritual Power was restored to the peak and they continued to move forward.
The ground was red and straight ahead. On both sides of the red ground were black, and the lines were clear.
They could see that one statue after another was erected on both sides of the red path, with a distance of ten meters between them.
Each statue was about two meters tall. They were clad in heavy armor and were entirely grayish-black in color. They gave the three of them a cold, steel-like feeling.
Looking past the statues on both sides, they finally focused on the end. There was a seat, like a throne, on top of five steps. On the huge throne sat a tall, burly figure with a straight back. His whole body was covered in heavy armor, and his face could not be seen clearly.
However, just by sitting there, that figure gave off a majestic aura like that of a mountain. It was majestic and different from a mountain.
"There's something strange," Li Zhenyi said as he looked around again, but he could not find what was strange.
From the moment he stepped in, Chen Zong also had a strange feeling. He had already spread out his Spiritual Sense, but he could not find anything suspicious. Immediately, Chen Zong's eyes fell on one of the statues.
His Spiritual Sense also covered the statue, and he felt that it was cold and there was no other aura.
Gao Bojun gently knocked on one of the statues with his long saber, making a sonorous and harsh sound of metal colliding.
This knock seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism. The statue shook slightly, and cracks appeared on its body. The cracks quickly spread, and the sound of cracking was very ear-piercing.
Gao Bojun was shocked and quickly stepped back. He held his long saber in front of him and his eyes became extremely sharp.
Chen Zong and Li Zhenyi also looked over at the same time, and their sharp eyes were like Sword Qi.
The cracking sound became more and more intense and harsh, making people's scalps tingle.
With a thud, the statue full of cracks took a step forward. Its steps were heavy, like metal hitting hard on the hard ground.
Pieces of gray debris fell from the statue.
When it took the first step, Chen Zong and the other two could see that the statue's movements were stiff, but when it took the second step, its movements began to become smooth.
After three steps, it was like an ordinary person.
Immediately, an extremely powerful sound broke through the air, making Gao Bojun's scalp tingle and his face change greatly. He only felt that an amazing pressure was coming, as if it was going to penetrate him.
It was a long spear attack, like a meteor breaking through the air, extremely terrifying.
Gao Bojun's reaction was extremely fast. He slashed his long saber and hit the tip of the spear directly.
Under the violent collision, countless sound waves like water ripples exploded crazily and rushed in all directions. The harsh sound made Chen Zong and Li Zhenyi's eardrums hurt, as if they were being torn apart.
Gao Bojun even felt an extremely tyrannical force rushing towards him. His entire body was unexpectedly pushed back uncontrollably. His long saber trembled incessantly. Its trembling sound was like that of a swarm of bees dancing in the air.
The power of Gao Bojun's saber was also very strong. The statue's body slid back quickly, and its feet dragged two scratches on the hard ground.
Strictly speaking, it could not be called a statue anymore. It was a warrior covered in black armor from head to toe, and the long spear in his hand was also black.
His footsteps paused, and another spear pierced through the air.
Then, more cracking sounds were heard, and Chen Zong and Li Zhenyi's faces changed greatly.
In addition to the figure on the throne, there were a total of 12 statues here. In other words, the gray on the other 11 statues were falling off, as if they were awakening.
A terrible cold aura spread out and filled the surroundings.
One guard and 12 guards were completely different. The pressure made Chen Zong and the other two almost suffocate.
"Let's get rid of it first."
Both Chen Zong and Li Zhenyi reacted quickly and made the right choice.
They did not know the strength of the other 11 guards, but the strength shown by this guard was very strong, and not inferior to Gao Bojun.
If the other 11 guards were as strong as this, it was definitely not good news for the three of them. It would bring them a lot of trouble.
Therefore, they should concentrate on getting rid of one guard first to reduce some of the pressure.
Gao Bojun immediately performed Thirteen Countercurrent Slashes.
Li Zhenyi performed the Windcutter Sword Technique.
Chen Zong performed the Windcutter Sword Intent.
He showed no mercy.
They had to kill this powerful guard in the shortest time possible, so that they could better deal with the other 11 guards who were breaking the seal.
Thirteen Countercurrent Slashes blocked the guard's fierce spear. Chen Zong and Li Zhenyi's sword light fell on the guard's body, making a harsh sound of metal clashing.
The sturdiness of the armor on the guard's body was unexpected.
The two's full-strength sword attacks did not break it, but only left a sword mark. This result undoubtedly shocked Chen Zong and Li Zhenyi.
Although they were shocked, the two of them did not stop because of this and attacked again.
Li Zhenyi was very talented in swordsmanship, and he was also very good at fighting. He immediately changed his swordsmanship to the Great River Swordsmanship.
The Great River Swordsmanship was continuous and vigorous. Once it was performed, if it was not interrupted, it would continue to attack, and its power would become stronger and stronger.
Chen Zong also changed his swordsmanship to the Great River Swordsmanship, and his sword power was continuous and vigorous.
The extremely accurate sword light continuously chopped the same sword mark. After many attacks, the guard kept retreating, and the spear counterattack was blocked by Gao Bojun's long saber. It could not interfere with Chen Zong and Li Zhenyi at all.
Slash, slash, slash!
The sturdy armor was finally cut open. The tyrannical Sword Qi rushed in and cut the body of the guard in half.
Chen Zong and the other two just noticed that the guard was not made of flesh and blood under the armor.
"Puppet!" Li Zhenyi exclaimed.
