Chaos City
The Sky Flame Mountain Range was a huge mountain range of the Qian Martial Emperor Dynasty. The mountain range stretched for thousands of miles and was like a natural barrier that separated the Liuyun Dynasty from the Qian Martial Emperor Dynasty.
Because the Skyflame Mountain Range was located at the border of the two Empires, this place had become a place where good and bad mixed together. There were numerous powers with complicated relationships, and the slightest disagreement would cause a large scale battle to occur.
Killing people was not a rare thing. It happened all the time.
Skyflame City was located at the foot of the Skyflame Mountain Range. It was a small city built from black iron and stone. It was completely black, and the city gate was 30 meters tall. It was lofty and gave off an indestructible feeling.
"We're finally here!"
At this moment, two figures were standing outside Sky Flame City. One was old, and the other was young.
The young man was about seventeen years old. His figure was somewhat thin, and his facial features were handsome. He was dressed in black, and he sighed as he looked at Sky Flame City in front of him.
As for the old man, he was also dressed in black, but he was very old. His back was hunched, and he coughed from time to time.
These two people were naturally Chu Xingyun and Lin Tianchong.
Ever since they left the Hidden Dragon Peak, the two of them had concealed their identities and left the Liuyun Dynasty along a remote path. Now, three days had passed and they had finally arrived at the Sky Flame Mountain Range.
The two of them walked side by side. Just as they were about to step through the city gates, a series of angry shouts suddenly came from behind them.
Chu Xingyun turned his head and saw a group of people rushing over from not far away. Those people were riding on spirit beasts and their momentum was wild, causing the surrounding crowd to back away. Their eyes were filled with reverence.
Lin Tianchong looked at the crowd in front of him and said to Chu Xingyun, "Due to the advantageous terrain, there are many adventurers stationed in Tianyan City. When there are too many people, the order of the city will become chaotic. The group of people just now should be from a certain faction."
When he was young, Lin Tianchong was a famous super expert. He had traveled the entire Northern Wilderness Region and had a deep understanding of the various empires.
In terms of combat power, the Liuyun Dynasty was not very impressive in the Northern Wilderness Region. It could only be considered as the weakest.
However, the Qian Martial Emperor was different.
The Qian Martial Emperor worshipped martial arts, and the trend of martial arts was prevalent. Children were required to learn martial arts from the age of three. Therefore, the people of the Qian Martial Emperor's Empire were valiant, and their combat strength was especially strong.
This was even more vividly displayed in Heavenly Flame City.
Everything was about strength.
"The more people there are, the more chaotic the rules will be. This is a matter of course. However, it is precisely because there are more people that it will be easier for us to gather information." Chu Xingyun was used to the law of the jungle and did not take the chaos in Tianyan City to heart.
Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Chu Xingyun lifted his foot and walked into the city.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a rough voice came from the front.
Behind the city gate, two tall figures descended from the sky and blocked the path of the crowd.
"Anyone who enters Tianyan City for the first time must pay a thousand taels of silver. All of you, stand properly and pay the entrance fee one by one!" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. He held a long saber in his hand, and the edge of the saber glinted coldly. His entire body was filled with a ruthless aura.
"Tianyan City is not a private city. Since when did people have to pay to enter the city?" A man in green robes walked out from the crowd and shouted angrily, causing the gloomy man's gaze to freeze.
"It is not up to you to judge the rules of Tianyan City. Either pay the entrance fee or die here!" The gloomy man's voice became low, and the corner of his mouth twitched. The tall man standing beside him immediately drew his long saber and slashed at the man in green robes without saying a word.
"Ah!" A wail of anguish sounded.
The long saber sliced through the air and chopped off the arm of the man in green robes. The moment the saber energy exploded, the man's entire body was sent flying. He fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
"Now, is there anyone who is unwilling to pay the entrance fee?" The gloomy man looked at the crowd in front of him and chuckled. His gloomy eyes were filled with threat, causing everyone to tremble.
These two people weren't very strong. They were both in the Fifth Sky of Spirit Gathering Realm.
However, there was a roaring tiger embroidered on their sleeves. This meant that they belonged to one of the factions in Tianyan City.
In a chaotic city like Tianyan City, the factions were chaotic and there were no rules at all. They often relied on their numbers to stop people from entering the city and wantonly exploit them.
"How unlucky. We just entered the city and we already met people from the Crashing Tiger Hall."
"The Crashing Tiger Hall's influence in Tianyan City isn't weak. We're alone, so it's best if we don't offend them."
"Forget it. Just treat it as spending money to block disaster."
Many people were so angry that they clenched their fists. However, the other party was a large faction in Tianyan City. They had a strong army and strong horses. It wasn't worth it to throw away their lives for a thousand silver taels.
"Prepare the silver. We'll take it one by one." The two men looked at each other and said proudly. They raised their heads and swaggered through the crowd to collect the silver taels.
"Brat, obediently take out the silver taels." The gloomy man walked to Chu Xingyun's side. When he saw that Chu Xingyun didn't move, a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Chu Xingyun raised his head and said with a faint smile, "You want the silver taels? Come and get it yourself. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun took a step forward and waved his fists. The fierce fist whistled through the air, creating a strong wind.
"You're courting death!" Seeing that Chu Xingyun suddenly attacked, the gloomy man was furious. He immediately brandished his long saber and chopped towards Chu Xingyun's head. The saber energy exploded, creating an ear-piercing sound.
"Young people are so hot-blooded. He could have just paid a thousand silver taels and he would have been fine. Why did he have to provoke the Crashing Tiger Hall?" When the crowd saw this scene, they all shook their heads. Fighting a saber with a fist was really irrational.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The saber energy became even more chaotic. When it chopped onto Chu Xingyun's fist, it trembled violently.
The saber energy dissipated, and a terrifying force swept over. The gloomy man's face changed dramatically. It was as if he was facing a mountain, and he couldn't breathe.
Boom!
The fist shattered the long saber and landed on the gloomy man's chest. The fist energy burst forth, and a pillar of blood spurted out. At the same time, the gloomy man's vitality was taken away.
"He's dead?"
The crowd's gaze froze. Chu Xingyun not only blocked the gloomy man's attack, but also killed him with a single punch. Even the long saber, which was a Bejeweled Weapon, was shattered!
"Bastard, how dare you kill my brother! Die!" When the other tall man saw this, he raised his long saber high and charged towards Chu Xingyun aggressively.
However, the tall man had just taken half a step when he heard Chu Xingyun's cold laughter. He said, "You were so arrogant when you blocked my way and killed me. You treated human lives like grass. Now, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine!"
Whoosh!
A ray of sword light flashed like a meteor. In an instant, it landed in front of the tall man. In his eyes, besides the fear that was deep in his bones, there was only the swift and fierce sword light.
Plop!
The tall man's heart was pierced. He didn't even have time to cry out before he fell to the ground.
Chu Xingyun had killed two people in an instant. However, his face was expressionless. He glanced at the surrounding martial artists and said in a calm voice, "Now, is there anyone else who wants to collect the entrance fee?"
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun stepped forward. With every step he took, his aura became stronger.
