Chapter 1413

The two of them were decisive. They turned around and tried to escape, giving up on competing for a spot.

Unfortunately, the two of them had no choice but to give up because Zi Chen had his eyes on their Luck Points.

On the high platform, a small ripple barrier appeared in the middle of the five light pillars. This ripple barrier was where the passage was.

The two of them were very close to the passage. They could reach it in an instant and enter.

Unfortunately, their reaction was still a little slow. Or rather, their speed was a little slow.

When they reached the edge of the high platform, there was already a person standing there. It was a human with wings. The wings seemed to be made of lightning, emitting dazzling lightning.

What was important was not the wings, but the human.

To be precise, the human was not very important. What was important was the scabbard in the human's hand.

Just as the two of them tried to rush past, the scabbard lit up. Then, an even brighter light appeared.

A long saber was unsheathed, bringing with it a dazzling light.

This saber was more of a deterrent than a killing blow. Therefore, the two of them easily dodged it after retreating.

"Boom!"

But just as the two of them retreated, the sky began to shake. Then, a huge hammer fell from the sky.

The hammer contained a powerful force, causing the space here to distort crazily.

The heavy hammer attacked.

At this moment, he and Zi Chen were attacking the two of them, one from the front and one from the back.

"Ha!"

Facing such a pincer attack, Giant Axe was helpless. He could only shout and raise his giant axe to slash at the heavy hammer in the sky.

"Boom!"

A surge of energy shook, and the heavy hammer fell. Giant Axe retreated backward, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He was injured in one hit.

On the side, Zi Chen pulled out his saber again. The shining saber light appeared like an open fan. The saber light swept toward Evil Crescent Blade.

Clang!

The sound of collision was heard. Evil Crescent Blade was rolled back. Zi Chen put away his saber and stood indifferently.

A fierce battle broke out.

Giant Axe and Hun Xie knew that they were going to die, but at this moment, they unleashed their endless potential and launched terrifying attacks.

The two of them were fighting with their lives. The area shook crazily. Even the high platform was shaking at a high frequency, as if it was going to collapse.

Unfortunately, their opponents were even more terrifying.

Needless to say, Heavy Hammer was once an existence as powerful as Ba Dao. Even though his soul had not fully awakened, his combat power still surpassed Huge Axe's.

One was known as the Giant Axe, while the other was known as the Heavy Hammer. However, after a fierce battle, the Giant Axe was also smashed apart by the Heavy Hammer.

As soon as the giant axe fell, the saber light between heaven and earth brightened up again. This time, Zi Chen's saber split into nine.

"Bang!"

Following the descent of the nine blade lights, the cracks on the rotating Evil Crescent Blade extended to the limit and finally exploded.

Then, the saber light flashed past Hun Xie's neck.

The soldiers were crushed and the people were dead.

In this battle, Zi Chen and Hammer won. However, in the end, Soul Evil and Giant Axe went all out, injuring both of them.

After a simple treatment, the two of them stood up.

"Good boy. I've always thought highly of you, but I still underestimated you. You've almost mastered the first level of the Saber Drawing Art." Hammer patted Zi Chen's shoulder and laughed.

"There's still some distance before I reach the final level." Zi Chen smiled modestly.

The power of the Saber Drawing Art was equivalent to the peak of Level 6 King Realm Battle Skills. This technique should have been comprehended by someone at the Domain Realm Late Stage. However, Zi Chen's true realm was only at the Mid Corporeal Realm.

His comprehension ability also caused Chong Chui to be extremely shocked.

The passage to the next level was right in front of them, but the two of them did not step out.

"Alright, let's go back and find them."

The two of them turned around and left. Hammer needed to find those battle spirits. After all, he was the one who brought them here, so he needed to bring them to the next level.

As for Zi Chen, he also needed to find his companions.

"Big Brother Hammer, we've obtained the qualifications, but where is the Psychic Domain Core?" On the way back, Zi Chen asked doubtfully.

Hammer shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure about the specifics, but I'm sure the people on the next level will know."

Because of Hammer's presence, the group of battle spirits did not find trouble with Zi Chen. After greeting Hammer, Zi Chen rushed toward the stone forest array.

…

Outside the stone forest array, Wu Xie and the others had been waiting for a long time.

They were very anxious, but there were many battle spirits on the other side, so they did not dare to rashly enter.

"This Zi Chen couldn't have been schemed against by that battle spirit and then killed, right?"

"He hasn't returned after so long. Maybe that's true."

"If that's the case, then it's too funny. A dignified expert was tricked by a few words and then killed."

Sounds of discussion rang out continuously.

Initially, the discussions were still very soft. However, as Zi Chen did not return after a long time, the discussions gradually grew louder.

In the distance, Man Shi was furious when he heard this. He stood up and shouted in that direction, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you dare to say it in front of your Master Man Shi?"

"Who are you acting like Master Man in front of?" A cold voice rang out. A cultivator in the distance stood up.

A cold light flashed in Man Shi's eyes. He shouted, "Do you want to die?"

"Hmph." The cultivator looked at Man Shi from afar and snorted.

Because Zi Chen had not returned, Wu Xie and the others were furious. Now that someone dared to provoke them, they all stood up. Man Shi had a fiery temper and was about to step forward.

"What? You want to kill me in front of hundreds of people? Do you really think you're the leader?" The cultivator said indifferently.

"I just want to spar with you. What? You don't dare?" Man Shi said angrily.

"Spar? I saw the killing intent in your eyes just now. I didn't expect you to change your mind so quickly. Are you afraid?" The cultivator said coldly.

"Afraid? Do you think your Master Man is afraid of you? Kid, come here. Master Man will kill you in minutes."

Due to the fact that they were from two different factions, this quarrel also caused some commotion.

"Enough. Everyone, stop talking." Xue Ming, who had recovered from his injuries and even his broken arm, said.

Xue An City had the most people here. Although Zi Chen was the strongest, Xue Ming's force was the strongest. Therefore, his words were still effective.

Xue Ming glanced at Man Shi and ignored the cultivator who was quarreling with Man Shi. Instead, he looked at their leader and said indifferently, "Zi Chen hasn't returned yet. Everyone, please calm down."

The leader's expression was a little unnatural. He then scolded his subordinates.

"Don't think that everyone is afraid of you. Let me tell you, our Liuzong City also has many experts. You people from Huping City better keep a low profile." The cultivator said ruthlessly in the end.

Man Shi was furious and wanted to kill the other party.

At this moment, footsteps came from the front. The sound came from the direction of the stone forest formation. Everyone turned their heads and looked in that direction.

A figure walked out from the direction of the stone forest formation. It was Zi Chen.

After they saw Zi Chen, a wisp of joy appeared on the faces of Man Shi and the others. Man Shi even turned around and said, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Has Zi Chen returned?"

The cultivator, who had been very arrogant earlier, did not utter a single word at this moment. When he looked at the indifferent Zi Chen, his eyes were filled with intense fear.

"Brother Zi Chen." Xue Ming went up to greet him.

Zi Chen nodded at Xue Ming. He always had a good impression of Xue Ming.

"How is it?" Xue Ming asked.

"The passageway has been found and opened. Everyone can leave now." Zi Chen's voice was not loud, but everyone present was a cultivator. Every one of them could hear him clearly.

In the next moment, excited cheers rang out.

They had gained a lot on this level, and all of them had broken through to the Domain Realm. Once they reached the next level, their gains might be even greater.

For a moment, many cultivators rushed toward the stone forest formation. They could not wait to go to the next level.

"Hmph, our experts must be there. When the time comes, we'll let some people know what a big city's foundation is."

"When the tiger is absent, the monkey will become the king. When all of us reunite, some people will know what a real expert is."

Many cultivators left, but there were some who muttered before leaving.

Man Shi and the others were furious. Even Zi Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

"Brother Zi Chen, thank you for this time." Xue Ming cupped his fists at Zi Chen. He was the first person to thank him after the passage opened.

"You're welcome. See you again." Zi Chen cupped his fists and smiled faintly.

"Brother Zi Chen, you're not coming with us?" Xue Ming asked.

Zi Chen glanced at the people in the distance and said, "I'm not used to it."

After saying that, he waved his hand at Xue Ming and led the others into the stone forest formation.

Now that the passage had opened, they were likely to meet their own experts on the next level. After all, the real experts had chosen to go deeper at the beginning.

Zi Chen's battle strength had been able to deter them before, but after the passage opened, it was no longer the case.

Moreover, these people might hate Zi Chen because they had been threatened by Zi Chen before.

Looking at the backs of Zi Chen and the others, Xue Ming could not help but shake his head and sigh. He felt that it was a pity to lose such an ally.

He looked around and saw many cold gazes. He shook his head again.

These people were really short-sighted.

"Don't look for trouble." Xue Ming shook his head and muttered.

His perception was very sharp. He had already sensed that Zi Chen and the others were not ordinary.

If the others were honest, it would be fine. However, once they found their own experts and came back to cause trouble, they would probably suffer a great loss at Zi Chen's hands.

After passing through the stone forest formation and reaching the entrance, Zi Chen saw Zhong Chui waiting there.

All the cultivators were also on guard against Zhong Chui when they entered the passage.

"Big Brother Zhong Chui, why are you here?" Seeing that there were no other battle spirits around, Zi Chen asked curiously.

Zhong Chui smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you. I've decided to go with you."
