Blocked and Killed on the Way
Chu Xingyun and the White Tiger walked through the dense forest. Their eyes were fixed ahead, and they did not have the joy of killing a strong enemy.
In Chu Xingyun's opinion, a half-step Sky Spirit Realm cultivator was nothing.
Back in the Liuyun Dynasty, Chu Xingyun's cultivation was only at the first layer of the Earth Spirit Realm. However, by relying on various methods, he was able to kill Liu Song, who was half a step into the Sky Spirit Realm, shocking the entire dynasty.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun's cultivation had already reached the fifth layer of the Earth Spirit Realm. Furthermore, he possessed a heaven-defying treasure like the Black Hole Heavy Sword.
Not to mention a half-step Sky Spirit Realm, even if he was facing a true Sky Spirit Realm expert, Chu Xingyun would still have the strength to fight!
After walking through the dense forest for a while, Chu Xingyun arrived at an ancient path in the mountains. This place was filled with broken mountains and lone peaks. At a glance, the mountains were in a mess, and there was an indescribable sense of oppression.
Chu Xingyun took out the Tracking Jade, lowered his head and looked at it. His brows immediately furrowed.
The jade body was still covered with dots of light, but these dots of light were no longer scattered and disorderly. Instead, they gathered together and slowly moved forward. It was obvious that these family disciples had already gathered in groups of three or five and were heading towards the depths of the secret realm.
"Not far from me, there's another team." Chu Xingyun's gaze focused in front of him. There were fifteen dots of light that flickered and were especially eye-catching.
Fifteen dots of light meant that at the end of the ancient path, there were fifteen family disciples.
This number was already extremely large, and according to convention, most of them were escorted by half-step Sky Spirit Realm cultivators. Moreover, it was very likely that there was more than one of them.
What surprised Chu Xingyun even more was that these fifteen people did not move forward. Instead, they stopped in place and did not move at all.
"Those who reach the deepest part of the secret realm will be able to pass the trial and become a disciple of the Wanjian Pavilion. As for the top ten, they will be able to enter the Sword Cleansing Pool. Therefore, the final goal of the Qin and Chang Families is to let their family disciples reach the deepest part of the secret realm in the shortest amount of time."
"But why did these fifteen people stop? Could it be that they know I'm going to pass through the ancient path and are intentionally blocking my path?"
As soon as this idea appeared, Chu Xingyun denied it.
Although Chang Mingyang had ordered him to be hunted down, everyone's position was unpredictable when they entered the Secret Realm. Therefore, it was impossible for the disciples of the Qin and Chang Clans to know his exact location.
They didn't even know the location, let alone setting up an ambush and waiting for Chu Xingyun to walk right into their trap.
Just as Chu Xingyun was puzzled, a rustling sound was heard. Chu Xingyun's eyes suddenly focused and looked towards the source of the sound.
Soon, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight. It was Fang Shi.
On the Desolate Ancient Path, Fang Shi was running at lightning speed. His Earth-Shattering Lion, Wu Ling, had long since been summoned and attached to his body, causing his aura to become berserk. His four limbs were on the ground, and his speed was astonishing.
However, Chu Xingyun was very keen to notice that Fang Shi was actually alone at this moment. Moreover, he looked very panicked and would turn his head to look behind him from time to time.
When Chu Xingyun looked at Fang Shi, Fang Shi also noticed Chu Xingyun. A cold brilliance flashed across his eyes as he moved his feet and ran straight towards Chu Xingyun.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that even the heavens want to give me a chance to take revenge on you." Fang Shi let out a roar and waved the long sword in his hand. The wild lion shadow on his body seemed to grow bigger and burst out with a lion roar that shook the sky.
"Die!"
Fang Shi didn't hesitate at all. As soon as he saw Chu Xingyun, he unsheathed his sword with a clang and slashed towards Chu Xingyun's head.
Fang Shi remembered the scene at the Ancient Sword Gathering very clearly. Especially the mocking gazes of everyone when they looked at him. It was deeply imprinted in his heart and could never be erased.
Therefore, he silently swore at that time that as long as he met Chu Xingyun in the Sword Cleansing Trial, he would draw his sword and kill him. He would use his blood to wash away the humiliation and win Xia Qingcheng's heart.
"You're courting death!" Chu Xingyun coldly spat out a word. Holding the Black Hole Epee in his hand, the atmosphere of the Ancient Path instantly changed. It was as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, incomparably cold and gloomy.
The spirit sword broke through the gap, and the chill wreaked havoc in the void!
Originally, Chu Xingyun didn't want to have any interaction with Fang Shi. He was prepared to take a big step forward and see what tricks these family disciples were playing.
Unexpectedly, Fang Shi didn't say anything and directly drew his sword to kill Chu Xingyun. This made Chu Xingyun furious, and a trace of killing intent emerged in his heart.
"Slash!" Chu Xingyun stabbed out with his sword. The sword carried the chill, and it was as if an ancient snow mountain had smashed down, freezing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even Fang Shi's Earth Splitting Lion, Wu Ling, was frozen stiff, and could no longer move.
Clang!
The two swords collided in mid-air, and the lion's shadow was instantly crushed into pieces. The shadow dissipated, revealing Fang Shi's figure. The remaining power of the sword Qi wreaked havoc, directly attacking the vital parts of his body.
"How can he be so strong?" Fang Shi was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out. He never imagined that Chu Xingyun's true strength would be so terrifying that he didn't even have the qualifications to resist.
A loud rumbling sound was heard. The sword Qi pressed down on Fang Shi's body. Just as it was about to enter his body, a fiery red figure in the shape of a lion appeared and enveloped Fang Shi's entire body.
Then, Fang Shi's speed suddenly increased by several times. Like an illusory lion's shadow, he actually avoided the sword Qi of the Black Hole Heavy Sword. Without looking back, he frantically fled, leaving behind afterimages.
Chu Xingyun's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, but his hands didn't stop moving. The tip of his sword shifted, and with him as the center, a dense chill descended. Everything that came in contact with it turned into ice sculptures, freezing them inch by inch, and attacking the heaven and earth.
This chill also enveloped Fang Shi's body, causing him to tremble.
While he was in a daze, Chu Xingyun's sword arrived. A sword broke through the cold winter. Just the pressure of the heavy sword made Fang Shi vomit three liters of blood, and fiercely smashed into the ground.
Boom!
A terrifying sound was heard, and a long crack appeared on the ancient road below. That was Fang Shi's body smashed into the road. His mouth opened and closed, and hot blood constantly spurted out. He no longer had his previous domineering attitude.
Chu Xingyun slowly descended, without the slightest expression on his face. In his hand, the Black Hole Heavy Sword hummed, and the killing intent dissipated.
Feeling the cold killing intent, Fang Shi panicked. He didn't even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Chu Xingyun and begged for mercy, "Luo Yun, I admit that you are stronger than me. From now on, I won't covet Xia Qingcheng, and I won't attack you. Please be magnanimous and let me live."
"Compared to this kind of promise, I'd rather believe in a dead person." Chu Xingyun sneered, causing Fang Shi's pupils to shrink. His body trembled violently, and finally, a light flashed in his eyes as he shouted, "Luo Yun, if you don't kill me, I can tell you a secret!"
"Hmm?" Chu Xingyun's eyes narrowed, and the tip of his sword paused.
