Chapter 10

Night falls.

The moonlight is sparse, and all things are silent.

Dou Changsheng sits by a stream, wiping the long sword in his hand.

He wiped all the blood stains on it clean, but it's a pity that the rust on it needs to be polished a bit to be cleaned off.

After finishing his work, Dou Changsheng washed his palms and then simply wiped his face, which made him feel much more refreshed; he hadn't washed his face for several days and could be described as disheveled.

After simple treatment, Dou Changsheng began to fill the empty water bag with stream water and then tied it to the horse's back.

This stream water is flowing, so he naturally doesn't worry about anyone poisoning it.

Starting to gnaw on dry rations, Dou Changsheng pondered the battle during the day.

At that time, he had to admit that he had been a bit carried away.

His experience was still too little, and the rhythm had become chaotic later on, but it was precisely because of this that the power of the Fearless Sword Art greatly increased.

Now looking back carefully, the Fearless Sword Art and the Three Primordials' Return Qi Technique are a perfect match; the final inch-by-inch growth of the sword radiance owes much to the Three Primordials' Return Qi Technique.

As long as you are not afraid of death, you are fearless.

Then bullying the weak is no problem at all.

In the battle during the day, he slaughtered wildly, but Dou Changsheng did not arrogantly think that he had reached the point of easily defeating Primordial Realm martial artists.

He only knows this one sword, and its limitations are too great.

Even if he had gained another month of Primordial internal Qi, he would not be Ai Haike's opponent.

Therefore, the line of the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe must absolutely not be broken.

What he lacks most now is systematic education; for example, this method of breaking through meridians is known to everyone, but he doesn't know how to do it. After reaching the Primordial Realm, how should he continue to cultivate?

And what is this Pure Yang Grandmaster? What realm is this?

He is completely in the dark and knows nothing.

This is also the reason why Dou Changsheng is willing to rush to Jianmen Pass.

He is not some descendant of the Xiangzhou Wang Clan; if it were for these benefits that he was actively drawn into the vortex of the North, then Dou Changsheng would definitely turn around and leave, but there is no way, he has already been drawn into it, so naturally, he has to grasp the Shogunate's line.

People must stand on the side of the winner.

Dou Changsheng does not know who will win or lose in this struggle in the North.

But there is one thing he knows: the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe is still living healthily in the future timeline.

When the Wang Clan married off their daughter, they invited the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe to be the matchmaker.

This struggle at Jianmen Pass is dangerous, but it is not a desperate situation.

As long as he gets on the line of the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe, he can use this to obtain instruction from a famous teacher.

Do not doubt the level of the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe's enlightenment; in the future, Dou Changsheng ascended the Human Ranking, which has already explained everything.

Everyone is Dou Changsheng, one template; if he can do it, he himself can definitely do it too.

Besides, he can also use this to get on the Shogunate's line; there is no shortage of divine techniques, secret scriptures, and martial arts grandmasters here.

After preparing a bit, Dou Changsheng began to choose a safe place and then started to rest.

Dou Changsheng sat on a blue stone; this was an open area with no blind spots in his field of vision. He held the sword sheath in his arms and closed his eyes, but Dou Changsheng did not fall asleep; he was only dozing, constantly alert to the movements in all directions.

The ambush by the Black Horse Gang during the day gave Dou Changsheng a bad premonition; he felt that something was going to happen tonight.

Originally, Dou Changsheng thought during the day that the Earth Walker and Feng Zhongyi would make a move, but he didn't expect them to endure it.

But at night, they definitely wouldn't; if they had no results, having suffered successive losses of troops and generals, how would they explain it to their superiors?

Time passed bit by bit; suddenly, Dou Changsheng's ears twitched, and he had heard footsteps; the enemy did not hide their tracks.

Dou Changsheng couldn't help but open his eyes and look toward the source of the sound.

He could see a silver-haired old man carrying a large saber, walking toward him with big strides.

Ai Haike walked like a dragon and a tiger, his momentum was aggressive, his hands had already slowly gripped the saber hilt, and he had already raised the large saber in his hand high; a murderous aura instantly rushed toward him.

And a swift figure, like a gale, instantly pounced from ten zhang away.

This distance of several tens of meters was covered by the opponent in an instant; a soft sword was constantly shaking, like a winding poisonous snake, spitting out a scarlet snake tongue, emitting a fatal aura.

All were silent, and they had already started attacking as soon as they came up.

This scene made Dou Changsheng's heart tighten.

The enemy has one more person.

Do not underestimate this point; Dou Changsheng's preparations today were only aimed at the Earth Walker and Feng Zhongyi.

Dou Changsheng sighed in his heart; if it were the future Dou Changsheng, perhaps only the Earth Walker would have come, but for him, there were three Primordial Realm martial artists.

Run away directly?

This thought had only just appeared in Dou Changsheng's mind before it was abandoned by him.

He cannot outrun Feng Zhongyi; fleeing without a fight like this would only expose his true background and accelerate his defeat.

He can only take a risk and go all out.

Dou Changsheng stood up suddenly, but he leaped and jumped a meter away; the blue stone he had deliberately found was instantly shattered into pieces, and a short figure had already darted out from under the blue stone, directly shattering the stone. If Dou Changsheng had been a step later, he would have been hit directly by this short figure.

Choosing an open area was to prevent Feng Zhongyi from approaching and then using his speed to sneak attack, and the blue stone was precisely to prevent the Earth Walker.

The Earth Walker's attack was futile; this short figure that darted out from the ground rolled three times on the ground, but instantly disappeared without a trace, as if turning into a bubble, directly merging into the soil.

No traces were left at the location where he disappeared.

This scene was very fantasy-like; if he hadn't been prepared beforehand, Dou Changsheng would definitely have been stunned.

However, having long known the background of the Earth Walker and Feng Zhongyi, Dou Changsheng had long been prepared. After the Earth Walker rushed out, Dou Changsheng began to deliberately approach the east side of the opponent. After seeing the Earth Walker enter the ground, the long sword in Dou Changsheng's hand went from being unsheathed to thrusting out a sword.

This series of actions was all done in one go.

This time Dou Changsheng went all out, without any reservations; his abundant Primordial internal Qi erupted at once, venting out like a long river.

It instantly rushed out along the rusty long sword, like a volcano erupting; the Primordial internal Qi that sprayed out instantly broke through one foot.

The pure white sword radiance was brilliant and dazzling in the night.

The sword radiance of nearly one and a half feet made up for the short board of the long sword and instantly pierced into the soil under the ground.

This was the position Dou Changsheng had calculated well; it was precisely three steps to the east of where the Earth Walker entered the soil. After the sword radiance pierced into the soil, a scream instantly came out; the wailing sound had only just started before it stopped abruptly.

The next moment, where the sword radiance disappeared, fresh blood erupted like a blood pillar; although it was fleeting, a pool of blood was left on the ground.

This Earth Walker's ability is not weak; this method of escaping into the ground can be called a unique skill.

It has a ghostly and unpredictable feeling, entering the ground silently, and after entering, he does not appear in the original place. If you don't understand the flaws in it, following up with a sword thrust into the ground would only be a futile effort and would not hurt the Earth Walker.

This series of actions seemed to take a long time, but in fact, it was all completed within one breath.

This time the enemy's attack method was very simple: Ai Haike and the Wind Walker attacked head-on to attract attention, while the Earth Walker sneaked in and attacked after using earth escape.

It's just that they didn't expect Dou Changsheng to have long known their background, leading to the Earth Walker being finished off with one sword.

And at this moment, the Wind Walker had just rushed over; it seemed a beat slow, but in fact, their cooperation was very tacit. Even if he resisted the Wind Walker, Ai Haike's attack would follow closely behind; such continuous attacks gave Dou Changsheng no room to breathe.

Feng Zhongyi's soft sword was winding, dazzling to the eyes, but its power was not strong.

Dou Changsheng felt at ease in his heart, knowing that his plan had succeeded.

With an earth escape expert like the Earth Walker, the enemy would inevitably let the Earth Walker attack first. As long as he killed the Earth Walker fast enough, it would deter the enemy and give him the impression that he was very powerful.

In this way, they might be bluffed, and he would have a chance to run away.

Various thoughts kept running through his mind, but his hand movements didn't stop; he swung his sword forward, the sword radiance about a foot long.

The sword radiance sprayed out, Feng Zhongyi's long sword drooped and instantly hit the ground, bending gently like a spring; the reflected power was transmitted, and Feng Zhongyi actually soared into the sky without even approaching Dou Changsheng.

This sword missed; the pure white light, like the light of opening the sky, tore through the darkness and finally disappeared slowly.

Although this sword did not achieve success.

Dou Changsheng felt at ease in his heart, and his panic dissipated by more than half.

If it were just the Earth Walker and Feng Zhongyi, Dou Changsheng would have intended to clash with them, but they didn't talk about martial ethics and actually brought Ai Haike along; he didn't know this person's background, and if it were a protracted battle, he would definitely die.

But after killing the Earth Walker with one sword, this Feng Zhongyi was afraid.

Dou Changsheng looked at Ai Haike, who was lagging three or five steps behind because Feng Zhongyi changed his moves midway and his attack didn't follow up; he raised his arm slightly, flicked the sword tip, pointed the long sword at Ai Haike, and said coldly: "I admire the old senior's family for their loyalty."

"That doesn't mean I will tolerate everything."

"This is the last time, please leave, old senior."

"Next time, when I see you again, old senior."

"I will never show mercy."

Ai Haike's charging momentum stopped abruptly; the large saber in his hand was held high, and now it was wrong to hold it up, but it was also wrong to put it down.

A pair of eyes stared resentfully at the retreating Feng Zhongyi; it was precisely because this person was greedy for life and afraid of death that he was tricked, especially since this Feng Zhongyi's speed was not fast when attacking, but his speed when running away was something else; now he was just a back view, and the next moment he rushed into the darkness and disappeared completely without a trace.

Ai Haike's breathing became heavy, and finally, he threw the large saber he had just obtained not long ago onto the ground, then cupped his hands and said: "This old man is grateful for the grace of sparing my life twice."

Ai Haike said shamefully: "I will no longer participate in the following matters; I will return to the old house immediately and will never step out of the house again in this life."

Ai Haike didn't pick up the large saber either and turned to leave directly.

Dou Changsheng was calm on the surface, but the heart that had been in his throat finally fell.

If Ai Haike had been furious and fought him head-on, he was afraid his true strength would have been exposed; don't look at Feng Zhongyi running away, but he must be peeping in the dark, right?

If he discovered that his strength was not that strong, Feng Zhongyi would definitely return for a sneak attack; under the siege of the two, he would definitely die.

But fortunately, this Ai Haike was deterred and believed his nonsense.

This is also because they are a rabble and have no heart to fight to the death; they can fight when things are going well, but as soon as things go slightly wrong, they start to be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Dou Changsheng slowly put down the long sword in his hand and then returned it to the sword sheath; he didn't go to pick up the large saber, as this item was too heavy and didn't suit him. As for looting the corpse, Dou Changsheng didn't do it either, because that Earth Walker was clean all over.

Yes.

He was just clean.

Although this earth escape is not weak, it also has many restrictions.

Having no intention to continue resting here, Dou Changsheng found his horse and then continued on his way.

This night can be described as extremely dangerous; if he hadn't known the enemy's background, he would definitely have died here.

In a mountain god temple, the lamp light was like a bean.

The dim yellow light kept spreading out.

A tall figure sat in the shadows, making it impossible for people to see his expression clearly.

At this moment, he was looking at Feng Zhongyi, who was kneeling on the ground, his forehead repeatedly rubbing against the soil, already bruised and bloody; a cold voice sounded:

"You returned this time, not having succeeded in obtaining the Pure Yang blood, but returning without success?"

"You tell me?"

"Is this the result?"

Feng Zhongyi said in fear and terror: "True Person."

"It is not that the subordinate is incompetent, but that the enemy is too strong."

"That Dou Changsheng is not an ordinary nameless person, but a direct descendant of the Xiangzhou Wang Clan, and his Three Primordials' Return Qi Technique is unfathomable."

"The Iron-Armored Mad Lion Wang Xiong was pierced through his Heaven and Earth apertures by the True Person and had his meridians widened; his strength among Primordial Realm martial artists can also be considered a good hand."

"But he couldn't block a single sword from Dou Changsheng at all."

"The Black Horse Gang, supported by the Hu Ren, also obtained the battle formation method; after many days of practice, a hundred-man charge was like thousands of troops and horses, with a monstrous momentum, but the final result was also broken through from the front by Dou Changsheng alone with his sword, and even the leader of the Black Horse Gang died miserably under his sword."

"Tonight, the Earth Walker, I, and Ai Haike, three Primordial Realm martial artists, launched a surprise attack together."

"But that Dou Changsheng killed the Earth Walker with one sword; if it weren't for the fact that the subordinate ran fast, I'm afraid I would also have been finished off with one sword; that Three Primordials' Return Qi Technique actually erupted with nine feet of sword radiance."

"Stronger each time, this shows that Dou Changsheng has always been hiding his strength."

"He is not an ordinary Primordial Realm martial artist; he must have already condensed the Five Qi, no, he is a powerhouse of the Five Qi Morning Origin, the Primordial True Realm."

"He is less than twenty years old and has this kind of strength; this is a Dao Seed cultivated by the Xiangzhou Wang Clan to compete with the young heroes of the world, a hero of the Human Ranking."

"How can such a proud son of heaven be compared to stinking fish and rotten shrimp like us in the mud ditch."

"Martial arts world rumors say that the current head of the Xiangzhou Wang Clan has a son named Wang Xuanli."

"Presumably it is this son, who changed his appearance and changed his name."

A cold voice sounded: "The Three Primordials' Return Qi Technique is not known for abundant internal Qi; to have nine feet of sword Qi, nearly one zhang, this must be Five Qi Morning Origin, the Primordial internal Qi evolving into Primordial True Qi."

"I don't blame you!"

"I will send a message to the Prime Minister and ask the Wang Clan to give an explanation!"
