Chapter 92

Whoosh! Boom!

The air was struck and shattered, exploding with a dull, strange sound.

Fang Yuanzuo’s figure moved like lightning, shooting over amidst a sharp whistling sound. His entire body was covered in a layer of fiery red light, and a massive amount of fierce energy swept out, slicing through the airflow as it surged toward Wei Dongliang.

"Bang!"

Wei Dongliang’s face was composed. His true qi surged, and he struck out with palm imprints, meeting Fang Yuanzuo head-on.

Sun Jindong and the others standing beside him quickly dodged.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of dull explosions erupted, centered on Wei Dongliang and Fang Yuanzuo.

Fang Yuanzuo, at the late stage of the Innate Realm, had actually fought to a draw with Wei Dongliang of the Earth Altar Realm!?

"Heh, with a great treasure right in front of us, he actually swallowed an 'Explosive Origin Pill.' The people of the Fang family truly have no brains," Shi Kuangsheng chuckled.

Explosive Origin Pill?

Hearing this, Chen Mu looked at Fang Yuanzuo.

At this moment, the aura on Fang Yuanzuo’s body was surging violently, and his true qi fluctuations had skyrocketed several times over. It turned out he had consumed an "Explosive Origin Pill."

The Explosive Origin Pill is a powerful elixir for short-term bursts; once consumed, combat power can increase three to five times.

However, it has side effects: one will be weak for three days afterward, blood and qi will be difficult to condense, and the meridians will also suffer damage.

Under normal circumstances, one would only take an Explosive Origin Pill when facing a desperate situation.

Had Fang Yuanzuo fallen into a desperate situation?

No!

This guy had simply lost face on the mountain and, in a fit of shame and anger, took the Explosive Origin Pill to try and win back his dignity.

Unfortunately, although Wei Dongliang of the Earth Altar Realm had only recently broken through, he was not someone that an injured Fang Yuanzuo could defeat alone.

The Explosive Origin Pill could at most allow him to tie with Wei Dongliang.

And even that was only because Wei Dongliang was using half, or perhaps thirty percent, of his strength.

The place where the "Heaven River Sword Venerable" passed away was right before their eyes, with true arts and high-grade profound weapons waiting to be fought over. Wei Dongliang would not be like Fang Yuanzuo, venting his energy in incompetent rage.

Chu Yunchang’s profound weapon could not be recovered.

The "Heaven River Sword Venerable’s" personal sword, the high-grade profound weapon, the Heaven-Treading Cloud Sword, was something Wei Dongliang was determined to obtain!

Not using his full strength was to conserve power for the later struggle over the "Heaven-Treading Cloud Sword"!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Rumble!

Accompanied by a loud noise, Wei Dongliang and Fang Yuanzuo each retreated and stopped fighting.

However, Wei Dongliang retreated five steps before discharging all the remaining force.

Fang Yuanzuo retreated more than twenty meters, crashing into a large tree and shaking down countless leaves; the trunk of the tree, which required two people to embrace, cracked before he finally stopped his retreat.

He crouched halfway on the ground, blood continuously gushing from the corners of his mouth, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Wei Dongliang.

"Die! For me..."

"Second brother, that’s enough!"

Fang Yuanfu, whose injuries had mostly recovered, stood up and shouted in a deep voice, "This cave is the place where the 'Heaven River Sword Venerable' passed away. Inside is the true art 'Heaven River Sword Canon,' a high-grade profound weapon, and the Heaven-Treading Cloud Sword. Save your strength."

"..." Fang Yuanzuo’s expression froze, then changed rapidly.

Stunned, pleasantly surprised, excited, and incredulous.

A true art?

A high-grade profound weapon?

Chu Yunchang’s profound weapon was at most low-grade; how could it compare to the Heaven-Treading Cloud Sword?

A turn of events.

After losing a low-grade profound weapon, he never expected a new high-grade profound weapon to appear!

The angry Fang Yuanzuo immediately suppressed his rage, stopped looking at Wei Dongliang, reached into his bosom, took out a large pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and quickly swallowed it.

In less than three breaths, the surging aura on his body actually stabilized!

'The duration of the Explosive Origin Pill is limited; this guy took another great pill and actually extended the time.'

While Chen Mu’s eyes were opened, he felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure flew low across the ground, rushing into the area where the "Heaven River Sword Qi" was swirling and dancing. Dodging left and right, flipping up and down, they were only cut by a few shallow wounds by the "Heaven River Sword Qi" before darting into the cave.

"It’s that old thing, Lin Hun!"

Shi Kuangsheng’s face darkened. His figure flickered, and he also rushed into the area where the "Heaven River Sword Qi" was swirling, dodging and shifting to avoid the increasingly weak "Heaven River Sword Qi," successfully entering the cave.

"Whoosh!"

Wei Dongliang didn’t waste words, following closely behind. His figure shifted, bypassing the swirling "Heaven River Sword Qi," and he was the third to enter the cave.

"Want to grab it first?"

Huang Keqin shouted coldly, his true qi surging, and he smashed out a punch, impacting the swirling "Heaven River Sword Qi."

Bang!

Fang Yuanfu didn’t say a word and also attacked, bombarding the wisps of "Heaven River Sword Qi."

"Hehe, count me in."

Di Chunlei raised his brows, stepped forward, and using pure physical strength mixed with true qi, he drove his fist technique, striking out clear, visible fist imprints that boomed into the "Heaven River Sword Qi."

Bang, bang, bang!

Boom!!

The three of them attacked together, their tyrannical power destroying all the "Heaven River Sword Qi," whose power had gradually dropped to the Innate Realm, causing them to disappear ahead of time.

"Go!"

Huang Keqin waved his hand and led his men into the cave.

Shi Kuangsheng’s people, Sun Jindong and the others, followed closely behind.

Fang Yuanfu, Fang Yuanzuo, and their men quickly followed.

"Junior sister, you stay outside, I’ll go in and take a look," Di Chunlei instructed Qian Yu, then tapped his toes and rushed into the cave.

"Senior brother, be careful," Qian Yu shouted from behind.

Watching Di Chunlei enter the cave, she withdrew her gaze, looked around, and then looked at Chen Mu, who had also seen Zhao Fuzhou enter the cave but remained where he was.

"Little brother Chen, why aren’t you going in?"

In just two breaths, only Chen Mu and Qian Yu remained outside the cave entrance.

"My strength is low, so I won’t join in the fun," Chen Mu chuckled.

"This..." Qian Yu was surprised at first, then smiled, "Little brother Chen, this is a smart choice, it has nothing to do with strength."

The most important thing in life is to recognize oneself.

Eat only as much as one is capable of.

Shi Kuangsheng, Huang Keqin, Fang Yuanfu, Wei Dongliang...

These people were either late-stage Innate or early Earth Altar Realm.

For Chen Mu, a newly promoted Innate, to fight them for true arts and profound weapons would be a sign of a muddled mind!

At this moment, Qian Yu admired Chen Mu very much.

Immediately after, she felt a bit of regret.

It was a pity that Chen Mu did not possess the "Great Strength Martial Body" and could not enter the Giant Spirit Sect with Huang Feiyang.

Little did she know.

The reason Chen Mu did not follow Zhao Fuzhou into the cave was partly due to his strength, but also because Chen Mu discovered through his "Listening to the Wind" skill that the space inside the cave was not large!

After the "Heaven River Sword Qi" overflowing at the entrance was destroyed by Di Chunlei and the others, the mountain wind swept into the cave and circled around in just a few moments.

The straight-line distance from the center of the cave to the entrance was no more than forty meters.

At such a distance, if the people entering the cave died, Chen Mu could still pick up the cards while staying outside!

And that was indeed the case.

Just as Chen Mu and Qian Yu were chatting, a scream suddenly came from the cave.

"Ah~!"

"No, there are strange beasts! And they are invisible strange beasts!"

"Where? Where?"

"..."

[Corpse discovered, do you want to pick it up?]
