Chapter 1335

Through the dark passage, Zi Chen was transported to an unfamiliar area.

This was an area where the aura of death was greater than the aura of life. Green vegetation was very rare, and the ground was mostly filled with deep weathered craters, probably left behind by intense battles.

The entire sky was grayish-white, and the world was filled with an oppressive and austere aura.

As soon as he arrived in this area, the token in Zi Chen's hand turned into a ray of light. This light surged toward his chest like flowing water, turning into the shape of a Heart Protection Mirror, protecting Zi Chen's chest. In the center of the Heart Protection Mirror, the number '6' was clearly displayed.

At the same time, Zi Chen's consciousness gained some information about the Manor Realm.

Just like what he understood from the outside world, this place was transformed from an ancient battlefield.

The only difference was the number of points displayed on the Heart Protection Mirror. In the information about the Manor Realm, these points were called Luck Points.

From the name, one could guess that the Luck Points represented the Luck Index, and the so-called Luck Index was naturally the luck of encountering good things.

In addition to the Luck Points, it also stated that there were two ways to increase one's Luck Points. The first was to kill the battle beasts or battle spirits here, or obtain some valuable items, which would automatically increase one's Luck Points.

As for the second method, it was to kill.

Every time one killed, one's Luck Points would increase by one.

Whether it was the former or the latter, it obviously encouraged killing and plundering.

Seeing this rule, Zi Chen's eyebrows furrowed. Fortunately, there was a rule that stated that the people in the city were not allowed to kill each other. This made the plundering rule slightly more humane.

After familiarizing himself with this simple rule, Zi Chen fired an energy bomb into the sky. This was a signal, and the others who saw this signal would soon gather here.

"Zi Chen."

Not long after the signal was sent out, a low shout was heard, and then a ray of white light flew over from afar.

The person who came was Dong Qing. She was wearing black battle armor and riding an Aurora Pegasus, rushing over at top speed.

Just as Dong Qing arrived, Zi Chen clearly felt a set of numbers on his Heart Protection Token.

It was a uniform number with the number 653 on it, representing the ranking number of Huping City.

From Dong Qing's slightly stunned expression, Zi Chen could naturally guess that the other party had also sensed the serial number on his body.

"They're not here yet," Dong Qing jumped down from the Aurora Pegasus and looked around, only to find Zi Chen alone.

"You're the first one. You should know the rules, right?" Zi Chen asked.

When Dong Qing heard this, her eyes flashed. She gritted her teeth and said in dissatisfaction, "What kind of rule is this? It's simply encouraging killing. This should be a land of opportunity, but now it has become a killing field."

Zi Chen agreed with what Dong Qing said. He believed that once people from the two cities met, they would definitely kill each other.

However, Zi Chen had long been accustomed to this kind of place, so he was not surprised. To be honest, the rules stated that the people of the city were not allowed to kill each other. In Zi Chen's opinion, this was already very humane. If everyone fought for themselves, then it would be truly tragic.

Just as they were talking, there was the sound of something breaking through the air. It was Man Shi and Wu Xie. The two of them had ugly expressions and looked very miserable. Wu Xie was even cursing as if the two of them had encountered something.

"What's wrong?" When the two of them arrived, Zi Chen asked.

"Damn it, we've been ambushed," Wu Xie cursed angrily.

Dong Qing seemed very nervous and looked around. Zi Chen's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Who ambushed you?"

"I don't know. I didn't see clearly. The other party was very fast and their attacks were very strong. Look, my high-quality battle armor was almost destroyed."

Wu Xie showed a mark on his battle armor to Zi Chen. There was a deep hole on it that had already affected the lines of the formation.

"Ah!"

Just as Zi Chen was thinking about who had attacked, a miserable scream suddenly came from afar.

"It should be one of us," Wu Xie immediately said.

When Wu Xie finished speaking, Zi Chen had already rushed several hundred meters away and was heading straight for the source of the scream.

"You guys stay where you are."

Zi Chen transformed into a stream of light and dashed forward for a full three miles.

He saw a person lying on the ground from afar. He swooped down and found that the person was already dead.

After carefully examining the corpse, Zi Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

This person had died from a sharp weapon piercing through his forehead. Looking at his wide open eyes and the disbelief on his face, he must have been ambushed and killed in one blow.

This time, there were a total of 68 people from Huping City, but one of them had already died as soon as he entered. Zi Chen raised his head and looked around, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Then, Zi Chen's eyes lit up. His eyes became cold and strange, but even with the use of his Yin Yang Eyes, he still couldn't find anything.

"I hope nothing happened to them."

After investigating for a while, Zi Chen put away the corpse. His face was full of worry. Since the person was already dead, Zi Chen naturally couldn't let his corpse lie in the wilderness.

Figures appeared in Zi Chen's line of sight one after another. Zi Chen saw Gou Wen, Shang Guan Hong, and the others.

When Zi Chen reunited with the others, except for the person who had just died, the others were already there.

After confirming the number of people on the tokens, the two sides met, so they all knew each other now.

Seeing that Zi Chen had returned, Wu Xie asked, "What happened?"

"Feng Ming is dead," Zi Chen said indifferently.

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. Liu Wei, who had defeated Wang Jun, said in surprise, "He's dead. He fought with someone."

Zi Chen thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "He was killed in one blow. It should be a sneak attack. He didn't notice at all. I suspect it's … a Battle Spirit."

"A Battle Spirit is a mutated existence formed by the fusion of many Domain Realm Remnant Souls." As soon as they arrived, they encountered such an existence. Everyone's expression became very serious.

"Whether it's a Battle Spirit or an Exotic Beast, we must go deeper. You guys be careful. Dong Qing, release the Red-Eyed Pig Demon."

Zi Chen took the lead and walked forward.

According to Zi Chen's instructions, Dong Qing released the Red-Eyed Pig Demon. This black fellow looked very ugly. It was neither a pig nor a dog. As it walked, it dripped corrosive saliva. However, its pair of red eyes were extraordinary. It could see some things that were good at hiding.

These red eyes were like Zi Chen's Yin-Yang Eyes, but they didn't need to be activated deliberately. Moreover, as a beast, the Red-Eyed Pig Demon was naturally very sensitive to danger, especially in this kind of unknown situation.

Zi Chen was in the front, Wu Xie and Man Shi were at the back, and the Red-Eyed Pig Demon and Aurora Pegasus were at the sides. The group stayed in the middle and carefully moved forward.

As soon as Zi Chen and the others left, the light in a certain place began to distort. Then, a figure covered in a black robe appeared. The figure held a long spear in his hand. There were still traces of blood on the tip of the spear. He watched as Zi Chen and the others disappeared, and a sinister smile slowly appeared on his face.

Then, the light around him began to distort, and his figure disappeared.

Zi Chen seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly turned around and looked into the distance, but he didn't see anything.

The world was already filled with an oppressive aura. Because of the existence of the Battle Spirit, everyone was very nervous.

But after moving forward for several hundred miles, no one encountered any danger. The original vigilance slowly dissipated.

"Maybe the Battle Spirit saw that our defenses were tight and didn't have a chance to attack, so it left." In the middle of the group, Liu Wei pretended to be relaxed.

However, in the next moment, the Red-Eyed Pig Demon's expression changed. It roared towards a certain place in front of it. Then, a tyrannical aura surged around its body. It turned into a stream of light and rushed forward.

"Die."

Just as the Red-Eyed Boar Demon was about to make a move, Wu Xie saw a figure hiding in the dark. He let out a roar and the vertical eye on his forehead opened up. A beam of destructive light shot towards that figure.

Besides Zi Chen, everyone else discovered the figure one after another. Almost all of them followed up with attacks.

Pu, pu.

Many attacks landed on the figure in the dark, but they seemed to pass through the air, making a "pu pu" sound.

The attacks passed through the figure as if they had hit a physical body. But no one was sure if they had killed the figure.

But they were sure that the black figure was the Battle Spirit. This guess was baseless, but it was certain.

Although Zi Chen, who was walking in front, did not turn around, he stopped in his tracks because of this. His eyes were looking forward, and his originally bright black eyes had become lifeless, as if he was thinking about something and had become absent-minded.

When he stopped, he didn't stop moving. A black blade appeared in his right hand. Then, he held the black blade tightly and slashed at the void in front of him.

Clang.

The black blade light slashed at the void in front of him, but a sonorous sound exploded. In the next moment, a sharp light rushed out from the void. Behind the sharp light, there was a long spear.

The black blade hit the long spear. A powerful force surged into the long spear, causing the spear to shake violently. A figure covered in a black robe appeared.

He … was the Battle Spirit.

Swoosh.

The black figure appeared and with a slight sway of his body, he resolved the power contained in Zi Chen's strike. Following that, the long spear in his hand suddenly trembled. Ripples of light emitted from the tip of the spear. The ripples of light spread out, forming a strange technique that enveloped Zi Chen.

Zi Chen felt the air around him instantly turn viscous. His movements were impeded by the air and became sluggish.

At that moment, the black figure gripped the long spear tightly and stabbed forward. His target was Zi Chen's glabella.

The speed of this attack was extremely fast, just like a bolt of lightning. As the tip of the spear approached, the oppressive feeling in the surrounding air also became increasingly stronger.

Facing this extremely fast and strange spear, Zi Chen felt a faint pain between his brows. Even though he had a Perfect Body, Zi Chen would still die if he was stabbed between his brows. Therefore, he could only temporarily give up on attacking and block with his saber.

Black light flashed as he blocked the attack with his black saber. The moment the spear beam arrived, he blocked the attack.

Clang.

Another sonorous sound was heard. Sparks flew as the weapons clashed. Zi Chen was forced back several steps.

"This Battle Spirit is indeed powerful."

Zi Chen was, without a doubt, the strongest in the group. However, when he faced Zhan Ling, he was at a disadvantage. This caused everyone's expressions to change and become extremely solemn.

"We've just entered and we've already encountered such an existence. How are we going to fight in the future?"

Wu Xie and the others were bitter. Liu Wei and the others were even more bitter. If they had known that the Domain Mansion was so dangerous, they would have thought about it carefully before coming.
