Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 393 High Yield
Cang Fei Zhi Yan quickly said, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Exceptionally powerful martial artists can be immune to all spells. We demigods of the Demon Spirit Masters unanimously admit that no one can defeat Zhao Sheng. Some spells may look powerful, but they can't affect a true powerhouse at all."

"Really?" asked Lush Roots.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan sighed, "It's true. The most powerful martial artists can really make magic spirit masters scratch their heads. There was an interesting incident back then, the demigod spell 'Dimensional Exile', which can be said to be an extremely abnormal spell, directly sent people into an unknown space-time."

"But the problem is that if the opponent is too powerful, this spell also requires a very high amount of mana."

"Then the demigod demon spirit master conducted an experiment on Zhao Sheng. As a result, the demigod demon spirit master exhausted all his magic power and was still unable to banish Zhao Sheng when he was at full power."

"Later, other demigod spells were tested, especially some mental ones, which were completely crushed by Zhao Sheng's martial will. If Zhao Sheng hadn't stopped, the demigod magic master would have even suffered a backlash."

"Of course, it's not to say that Zhao Sheng is truly invincible. A few extremely powerful spells can penetrate his body, but if he tries his best to dodge and then finds a way to weaken them, the damage he suffers is negligible."

"After that experiment, even the demigod-level magic masters had to admit that the upper limit of martial arts is immeasurable. In private, magic masters still envy martial artists, after all, martial artists' bodies are too strong. Magic masters' bodies are too fragile, we are actually more suitable for studying strength and strategic attacks."

Zhou Leng smiled and said, "You don't need to be modest. The Demon Prison doesn't dare to attack the Demon Spirit World because it's afraid that you will break into the Demon Prison and use terrifying forbidden techniques to destroy it."

As the group was talking, a group of monsters appeared ahead, including not only demons but also humans.

The moment the human saw Zhou Leng, he alerted a demon mage, who immediately used magic to send a message.

"Seize them and interrogate them!"

Zhou Leng had encountered this kind of devil who would send messages upon meeting someone many times, and he was completely unable to intercept him.

With its feet firmly planted on the ground, it charged straight ahead, and a mid-ranking Rusty Iron General came swinging its fist at it.

Zhou Leng snorted coldly, his right arm suddenly expanded, and an excessive amount of true energy poured into his arm. His arm trembled, his blood and qi surged wildly, and he unleashed a palm strike.

boom!
A clear sound of ocean waves boomed, and a white expanse appeared around my right palm, like a thousand ocean tides rising.

True Qi White Mist.

puff……

Both being innate blood-vibrating cultivators, when their fists and palms clashed, the Rusty Iron General's arm exploded, scattering everywhere.

A terrifying force spread along his body, leaving his entire upper body and head covered in cracks.

He was sent flying backwards, crashing to the ground and shattering into pieces.

Zhou Leng looked at his right palm; this was the true power of the killing move, Thousand Seas.

Only through the power of blood-vibrating energy can a martial artist's might be truly revealed.

Not only were the demons horrified, but everyone in Zhou Leng's team also gasped in shock.

That palm strike was incredibly powerful.

Azure Flame's eyes gleamed; a top ten finish in the Demon Spirit Trial was practically guaranteed!

"Leave them alive!" Yin Huyue hurriedly reminded.

By the time his teammates arrived, Zhou Leng had already destroyed all the demons in a flash.

After interrogation, it was learned that during the earthquake, the Lord of Shattered Candle City, Bright Candle Radiance, used two powerful legendary demonic artifacts to save everyone.

Those two legendary demonic artifacts were originally prepared to kill Zhou Leng.

Azure Flame asked, "Is it the Bright Candle Radiance that's been chasing you all this time?"

"It's him."

"I remember he was a high-ranking... Bone Forging Innate Realm cultivator. You're currently at Blood Vibration Realm, just one small realm away. Are you confident?"

Zhou Leng said, "Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be a problem. The only concern is that he might still have a powerful demon weapon."

Yinhuyue whispered, "You should have taken a few more items back then."

Zhou Leng looked ahead and said, "It's not safe up ahead. Let's retreat and change direction. This place is a maze of roads, they won't be able to find us."

Returning to the back passage, they turned at a fork in the road and walked for a while before Zhou Leng pointed to a wall ahead and said, "There's something good here."

As they approached, the tree-people sensed it.

The lush roots reached the wall, twisted and turned, and embedded themselves into the wall, turning over large patches of soil.

Before long, the tree roots returned, wrapping around several pieces of ancient tree fossils.

One piece the size of a fist, three pieces the size of a thumb.

"good."

The group continued onward, with Azure Flame casting spells along the way to erase any traces.

The dead demon mage's teleportation spell flew swiftly through the winding underground passages to a large hall.

Mad Prince Aiden, Bright Candlelight, Gong Futing, Rao Mingxian, Shen Jun, Jax, Tu Rong, and others were all present.

Upon receiving the message, Mingzhu Zhihui smiled and said, "I've found you!"

"Who?" Aiden asked.

"Zhou Leng".

Gong Futing and the flesh-and-blood chariot both wore bright smiles.

Shen Jun remained calm.

Rao Mingxian, Jax, and Tu Rong exchanged glances.

"What are you planning to do?" Aiden asked.

"There are too many forks in the road here, so let's split up. You and I will each lead a large team. If we find him, kill him directly. If we don't find him, send out several smaller teams to scout. Be careful not to engage him in combat; he seems to have gotten stronger."

"Alright. Who will follow the Radiant Candle, and who will follow me?"

Shen Jun had no intention of getting involved in this matter at all. Once Zhou Leng died, who knew what Madam Xi Yan would do? He hurriedly said, "I'll go with you, Mr. Aiden."

Jax glanced at Tu Rong and said, "Brother, I'll help Lord Mingzhuzhihui look for him. I know Zhou Leng; he won't kill me on his own."

“I followed Senior Gong Futing and also helped Lord Mingzhu Zhihui search,” Rao Mingxian said.

Aiden and Bright Candlelight discussed the matter briefly before splitting into two groups to search for Zhou Leng. Zhou Leng and his companions proceeded cautiously, but they encountered no powerful enemies, only ordinary monsters and ancient tree fossils.

Some are on the ground, some are on walls or the top of passageways, and some are buried very shallowly.

There were even more ancient tree fossils deeper inside, which Zhou Leng could only record and wait for Xiao Yong to arrive before discussing them further.

In just two hours, the team had already obtained more ancient tree fossils than all of their previous harvests.

The group divided the spoils along the way, but Zhou Leng didn't get the most.

Because most of the ancient tree fossils that Zhou Leng could sense were deep inside, and Xiao Yong couldn't dig them up.

On the contrary, the tree people can sense small pieces of ancient tree fossils every few steps, and there are so many of them that it's like their own backyard.

Secondly, there is the Azure Flame, because it can probe extremely far places and can always discover exposed ancient tree fossils in advance.

Along the way, we encountered some demons and giant insects, but they were all weak and we killed them all easily.

Ancient tree fossils are extremely valuable resources, and people are increasingly eager to explore them.

A short while later, Zhou Leng glanced at the map markings.

It is marked with a large number of ancient tree fossils, a total of 43.

All that can be sensed are large pieces.

Once he reunites with Xiao Yong, he will obtain at least 20 large pieces of ancient tree fossils, which will be of great value whether he improves his cultivation level or enhances his Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique.

Zhou Leng was lost in thought when Cang Fei Zhi Yan whispered, "A group of demons has appeared ahead. They're also using magic to probe, but they can't reach as far as I can. I'll cast a spell to stop them from sending messages, then you rush over and kill that demon mage first."

"it is good."

While Cangfei Zhiyan secretly cast a spell, Zhou Leng seized the opportunity and charged straight at the monster squad.

First, use your lightness skill to move slowly and silently, then suddenly accelerate when detected by the opponent's magic.

A series of booming sounds echoed through the passageway.

Upon discovering Zhou Leng, the demon mage immediately cast a spell to send a message.

The message-transmitting spell was suddenly intercepted by a point of light, and the message failed to be sent.

"No! Run!"

The monsters turned and fled, and the demon mage attempted a second message, which was once again intercepted by the Crimson Flame.

"It must be that damned sorcerer..." the demon mage cursed.

Before the demon mage could finish speaking, a voice came from behind him.

"And me."

The demon mage turned his head in confusion and saw Zhou Leng rushing to his side.

"what……"

The demon mage screamed in terror and was about to attack when a slap came flying at him.

puff!
Snapped!
The demon mage's head detached from his neck, slammed against the tunnel wall, and flattened into a pulp.

"Kill him!" The demons attacked Zhou Leng frantically.

Seven seconds later, Zhou Leng bent down and took the magic bag.

A dozen kilometers away, a demon mage beside the mad prince Aiden hurriedly said, "Your Highness, one of the demon mages we sent out has died in that direction."

The demon mage pointed in one direction.

"Whether it's Zhou Leng or not, anyone who dares to kill me must die!"

Before long, Aiden arrived at the scene of the battle. All the monsters had been burned, and only the traces of the battle left by the warriors could be seen.

The demon mage examined the scene and said, "There are traces of a spellcaster. Even after erasing all traces, it's impossible to determine if it's Zhou Leng."

"Can it be tracked?"

"No," the demon mage shook his head.

"They should have spotted us, and most likely turned back, sent a message to the other teams, and headed in this direction."

"it is good."

Aiden walked for a while and then encountered a group of people.

“What a coincidence, Young Master Zhao.” Aiden spoke fluent Chinese.

"You wouldn't be crazy enough to challenge me to a duel in a place like this, would you?" Zhao He said with a dark face.

"Haha, not really. By the way, I'm looking for a guy named Zhou Leng. If you see him, don't forget to pass on the message. I owe you a favor," Aiden said.

Zhao He smiled and said, "It's not easy to make you owe someone a favor. Don't worry, given our friendship, I'll definitely help you with this."

"Thanks." Aiden hurriedly left.

Lou Feiqiong asked in a low voice, "Brother He, are you really helping Aiden?"

Zhao He said, "I can't be bothered with him. It's a pity, it seems Zhou Leng is doomed."

Lou Feiqiong tentatively said, "You've always thought highly of him. Now that you've stepped in to save him, Aiden will definitely give up. At that time, he'll owe you a big favor, and you might be able to recruit him in the future."

Zhao He sighed and said, "If those grandmasters were all here, I would have helped them out. But right now, our team only has one grandmaster, and he's injured. I can barely take care of myself, so how can I help him? Aiden is with at least three grandmasters now. If I run into him, just reminding him would be more than enough."

“You’re right,” Lou Feiqiong said.

Then, Zhao He smiled and said, "If Aiden pushes him to the brink and he comes begging to join my ranks, I might consider it."

"His personality is difficult."
