Chapter 978

Yun Zhongyang was in a sorry state.

"The Ten Thousand Sword Sect's genius, Palm, is right behind him. He's a sword cultivator with terrifying combat strength. Even Yuan Zhao wouldn't dare to underestimate him."

Everyone's eyes turned cold as they looked at the young man who was brimming with sword Qi. Everyone knew how terrifying sword cultivators were. Some sword cultivators who were extremely skilled in offensive techniques could even kill someone above their level.

Palm's eyes were filled with sharp sword light as he stared at Yuan Zhao who was standing calmly in front of him. He said indifferently, "Yuan Zhao!

You've hidden your strength well. Even I was fooled by you. I didn't expect you to have reached the mid-stage Heavenly Venerable Realm. "

Yuan Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Palm!

You're not bad yourself. You haven't used the Ten Thousand Sword Sect's offensive sword technique yet, have you?

You must be planning to use it in the third stage of the test, right? "

"Hehe!

Perhaps you'll lose your life if I use that offensive sword technique, "Palm said arrogantly.

Yuan Zhao's eyes were still calm as he said, "Perhaps!

But we'll only know after the third stage of the test. "

Palm Palm took a deep look at Yuan Zhao and frowned slightly. This Yuan Zhao really hid his strength well. Even now, he still couldn't see through Yuan Zhao's depth.

Palm snorted coldly and stopped not far away from the valley. He knew that with the Ten Thousand Sword Sect's signature offensive sword technique, even Yuan Zhao wouldn't be able to compete with him. The title of Newcomer King would definitely be his.

"Now, only the Blue Whale Dynasty's Crown Prince, Yun Zhongyang, is left."

Everyone's eyes shifted back to the Heavenly Venerable Ironman Cavern. Since Yuan Zhao and Palm had come out, only Yun Zhongyang was left.

All three of them were monstrous Heavenly Venerables. Their battle prowess far exceeded that of an Early-stage Heavenly Venerable. There shouldn't be any problem for them to pass through the Heavenly Venerable Ironman Cave. Therefore, no one was surprised that Yun Zhongyang had come out.

"The Heavenly Venerable Iron Man Cave's Palm Tree and Yuanzhao have both come out. Why hasn't Big Brother Zhuowen come out yet?" Canaan and Gatha both whispered worriedly.

Xuan Xing and Mo Lingtian exchanged glances, seeing a trace of doubt in each other's eyes. The two of them were well aware of how powerful Zhuowen was. Even if Zhuowen were to challenge the Golden Exalted Iron Man Cave, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

But now, Zhuowen still hadn't come out. There was only one possibility, and that was that he had died in the cave.

As for Zhuowen challenging the Heavenly Venerate Metal Man Cave, the two of them didn't even think about it. After all, Zhuowen was only at the mid-stage of the Supremacy Stage. It wasn't realistic for him to challenge the Heavenly Venerate Metal Man Cave.

Outside the valley, Emperor Yan, Ziyang Tianzun, and the other four had strange expressions on their faces. This was because they hadn't seen Zhuowen's figure since the beginning. In other words, Zhuowen hadn't come out of the Ironman Cave yet.

"What's going on?

Why hasn't Master come out yet? "Ziyang Tianzun's eyes narrowed as he frowned.

"Could it be that he was delayed in the Ironman Cave?" Emperor Yan echoed, but he had another guess in his heart.

Whoosh!

Under everyone's gazes, an extremely wretched figure flew out of the Heavenly Venerate Metal Man Cave. When everyone's gazes fell on the figure, they were all stunned.

The third person to come out of the Heavenly Venerate Metal Man Cave was indeed the Blue Whale Holy Dynasty's Crown Prince Yun Zhongyang that they had guessed. However, what shocked them was that Yun Zhongyang's right arm had been severed from his shoulder. He looked extremely dispirited and miserable!

"Ah!

B * stard, don't let me see you again, b * stard! "

Yun Zhongyang, who only had one arm left, couldn't help but roar at the sky as soon as he appeared in the Ironman Cave. There was a boundless rage in his chest that he wanted to vent.

Yuan Zhao and Palm Palm looked at the wretched Yun Zhongyang in astonishment. They were quite familiar with Yun Zhongyang's strength. Although he was the weakest among the three of them, his combat strength wasn't weak either. It shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to pass through the Heavenly Venerate Metal Man Cave.

Although Yun Zhongyang had successfully come out of the Ironman Cave, the fact that he was in such a miserable state puzzled the two of them. Although the Heavenly Venerate Metal Man Cave was filled with traps, it shouldn't be so exaggerated that Yun Zhongyang would end up in such a miserable state.

Yun Zhongyang roared again as he came to a corner of the crowd with a cold gaze. At the same time, he scanned the crowd. When he didn't find the demonic youth he had met in the Heavenly Venerate Metal Man Cave, his gaze turned even colder.

At that moment, everyone was discussing animatedly. Most of the topics of discussion revolved around Yun Zhongyang. However, everyone's guess was that Yun Zhongyang's strength wasn't enough, and that he had been reduced to such a state by the traps in the Heavenly Venerate Metal Man Cave.

"How did Yun Zhongyang end up in such a sorry state?

With his battle strength, he should be able to smoothly pass through the Celestial Iron Man Cave? "Qi Ji frowned slightly and whispered in surprise.

The four old men furrowed their brows. They hadn't expected that a mere Heavenly Exalted Iron Man Cave could put Yun Zhongyang in such a sorry state. It seemed like the Blue Whale Holy Dynasty's Crown Prince didn't live up to his name.

Only Cheng Dong's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Others might not have paid attention to what Cheng Dong had said when he came out of the cave, but Cheng Dong's sharp senses had caught it.

The reason why Yun Zhongyang had ended up in such a sorry state wasn't because of the traps in the Heavenly Exalted Iron Man Cave. It was very likely that it was a result of a struggle between two people. Moreover, the other party definitely wasn't Palm Tree or Yuan Zhao. After all, when Yun Zhongyang appeared, Yuan Zhao and Palm Tree both revealed looks of surprise. This was something that Cheng Dong had already noticed.

In that case, there was only one possibility. The reason why Yun Zhongyang had ended up in such a sorry state was most likely because of Zhuowen, who was only a mid-stage Venerable. Because there were only four people who had entered the Heavenly Exalted Iron Man Cave. Apart from Yuan Zhao, Palm Tree, and Yun Zhongyang, there was only Zhuowen.

"That Zhuowen isn't simple at all!

He actually managed to put Yun Zhongyang in such a sorry state? "Thinking of this possibility, even Cheng Dong felt a chill in his heart.

It was already terrifying for a Venerable to jump two levels and enter the Heavenly Exalted Iron Man Cave, but that Zhuowen had even managed to chop off one of Yun Zhongyang's arms. This wasn't a matter of whether or not it was terrifying, but it was too abnormal.

"Crown Prince!

With your strength, you shouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state when you entered the Heavenly Exalted Iron Man Cave, right? "Blue Smoke came to Yun Zhongyang's side and asked respectfully.

Yun Zhongyang's eyes were extremely cold as he shot a cold glance at Blue Smoke and said, "I don't need you to lecture me on my matters. Get lost."

Blue Smoke's expression froze for a moment before a warm smile appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Since Crown Prince doesn't want to see Blue Smoke, Blue Smoke naturally won't fly around in front of Crown Prince like a housefly."

After saying that, Blue Smoke landed on the other side of Yun Zhongyang. His eyes flickered with a cold light.

"Yuan Zhao!

Your Alkaid Holy Dynasty is rich in Gold-Fragmented Liquid. Can you give me some? "Yun Zhongyang suddenly turned his head and asked Yuan Zhao, who wasn't far away.

The corners of Yuan Zhao's mouth rose slightly as he said indifferently, "Of course!

However, I have a request. If you agree to it, I will give you a bottle of Gold-Fragmented Liquid. "

"Speak," Yun Zhongyang said coldly.

"What I'm curious about is, what did you encounter in the Heavenly Honorable Iron Man Cave?

How did you end up in such a sorry state?

If you tell me about it, I can give you the Gold-Fragmented Liquid, "Yuan Zhao said calmly.

Yun Zhongyang snorted coldly and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright!

Actually, there's nothing much to say. I was just unlucky enough to encounter the Blood Soul Tree inside. After a fierce battle, that bastard took the initiative, so I ended up in such a sorry state. "

Yun Zhongyang was arrogant and unruly, and thought highly of himself. If he were to reveal that his current sorry state was caused by a demonic youth at the intermediate stage of the Venerable Stage, he would definitely become a laughingstock. Therefore, he would not reveal the truth.

"The Blood Soul Tree?

No wonder you ended up in such a sorry state. That thing isn't easy to deal with. It's amazing that Brother Yun was able to escape. "

Yuan Zhao nodded and a palm-sized jade bottle appeared in his right hand. He tossed it to Yun Zhongyang and said, "Based on our friendship, I'll give you a discount on this bottle of Gold-Fragmented Liquid. It only costs one million high-grade spirit stones."

Yun Zhongyang received the jade bottle and was about to use it when he heard Yuan Zhao's words. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The market price of this Gold-Fragmented Liquid was only five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, but this Yuan Zhao actually asked for one million high-grade spirit stones. He was clearly taking advantage of the situation to extort him.

"What?

Brother Yun, do you think this price is inappropriate?

If not, you can return the Gold-Fragmented Liquid to me, "Yuan Zhao said meaningfully.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. The price is just right. However, my Spirit Ring and my arm were taken away by the Blood Soul Tree, so I don't have so many high-grade spirit stones on me. After we enter the outer court, I'll ask the people of the Blue Whale Holy Court to bring you the spirit stones," Yun Zhongyang said through gritted teeth.

Now that the situation was pressing, Yun Zhongyang had no choice but to swallow this loss. However, in his heart, he already hated that demonic youth.

"Sure!

As long as Brother Yun doesn't go back on his word, "Yuan Zhao said magnanimously.

"Then I'll have to thank Brother Yuan."

Yun Zhongyang nodded and took out the bottle stopper without hesitation. He poured the Gold-Fragmented Liquid on his severed arm. Then, to everyone's surprise, Yun Zhongyang's severed arm miraculously grew a new arm.

This scene was exactly the same as when Yuansheng's severed arm grew back on the Boundless Sailboat. Both of them had used the same miraculous Gold-Fragmented Liquid.

The conversation between Yun Zhongyang and Yuan Zhao was naturally heard by everyone in the surroundings. They also knew why Yun Zhongyang was in such a sorry state. It was because he encountered the Blood Soul Tree. No wonder he was in such a state.

Everyone knew how difficult it was to deal with the Blood Soul Tree. Without extraordinary means, it was easy to be corroded to death by the Blood Soul Tree.

The four old men behind the dean looked at each other and nodded. Then, the thin and tall old man said in a clear voice, "The second stage of the test ends here. Those who should have come out should have come out. As for those who didn't come out, they should have died in the iron man cave. Although this old man feels that it's a pity, the path of martial arts is like this. The strong live, the weak die."

"So …"
