Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 525 Slowing Down
On the vast, blood-red land, one after another, enormous dragon god footprints stretched forward, reaching the ends of the earth.

Zhou Leng ran continuously for two thousand kilometers, but still couldn't see the edge.

This means that the Dragon God Seal Path is a space similar to a demon city. It doesn't look big from the outside, but it is a self-contained space that stretches endlessly inside.

After leaving the Aurora Peak, Zhou Leng occasionally encountered the Dragon Blood Guards and also occasionally met the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain.

The journey was smooth sailing, with only occasional kills of a few Dragonblood Guards.

The number of Dragonblood Guards is slowly increasing.

It has now been maintained at five.

Zhou Lengxue mastered the combat techniques of the five Dragon Blood Guards. As he ran, old images of martial arts kept flashing through his mind.

These Dragon Blood Guard combat techniques seem to have some commonalities, as if they are part of a unique martial arts system.

Five Dragonblood Guards are just the tip of the iceberg; if more Dragonblood Guards could be gathered...

As my understanding of the Dragonblood Guardian's combat skills deepened, a sense of anticipation arose within me.

It seems that this is a completely new martial arts technique that has not been mentioned before on Earth.

After running for a while, they suddenly saw four demons and two orcs fighting against three Dragonblood Guards.

One of the Dragonblood Guards was on the verge of death.

"stop!"

Zhou Leng shouted and rushed over.

The six demons were stunned. This person's shout sounded righteous and a little excited.

Can't you see there are six of us and you're the only one?

"Kill him! Go and come back quickly." The leading serpent bishop ordered two orcs, then engaged three dragonblood guards in combat.

Just a dozen seconds later, the Ringed Serpent Bishop suddenly sensed something was wrong and abruptly turned his head.

Two orcs fell to the ground, while the human charged forward unharmed.

"Be careful, he's a human expert! The three of you go all out to kill him, I'll hold off the three Dragonblood Guards. Go and come back quickly."

The Ringed Serpent Bishop is a red-skinned, ram-horned, human-faced demon who wields a massive T-shaped scepter encircled by three demonic serpents—one gold, one black, and one white.

The other three demons grinned and charged towards Zhou Leng, their demonic energy surging.

With his powerful magical abilities, the Ring Serpent Bishop effortlessly trapped the three Dragonblood Guards.

After another ten seconds or so, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to turn his head, a voice rang in his ear.

"I am back."

"Ok?"

As the Ringed Serpent Bishop turned halfway back, a two-foot-long finger-sword aura swept across his neck, and his head flew off.

The serpent scepter transformed into three large snakes, which burrowed into the serpent bishop's body along the severed neck.

After the three snakes finished devouring the internal organs of the banded serpent bishop, three snake heads emerged, transforming into the Three Serpent Bishops, their tongues flicking out.

Zhou Leng went around to the back and gently patted the back of the Three Serpent Bishop with his right hand.

True energy surged forth.

The three snakes shuddered, their heads drooped limply, and they fainted.

The Three Serpent Bishop fell to the ground, his body rapidly shrinking.

Soon, it transformed into a new scepter, still in the shape of a T, with three metal snake heads encircling it.

Seven skeletal sculptures appeared on the staff, one of which was clearly the likeness of the Ringed Serpent Bishop.

Zhou Leng picked up the new serpent scepter, which could fetch a good price.

The three-headed dragon blood guards broke free from the ringed serpent bishop's restraints and pounced together.

Zhou Lengxian carefully killed the two, creating two clouds of dragon god blood mist that floated on the earth for a long time.

Then, after "sparring" with the third one and learning all of its combat skills, kill it.

The three Dragon Blood Guards transformed into three clouds of blood mist, which then merged into one.

Zhou Leng entered it, absorbed the Dragon God's Blood Mist, and continued forward.

Before long, a total of eight Dragonblood Guards rushed in from multiple directions, at a considerable distance apart.

Zhou Leng glanced at the Dragon God's footprints not far away. These Dragon Blood Guards always acted this way; no matter how many times they died before, all those he killed would eventually reappear around him.

First, rush to the nearest one and quickly kill the seven. Then leave one that hasn't learned any combat skills and start sparring with it to learn. After it learns, kill it again.

The eight wisps of blood mist merged into one.

As you step inside, a thick mist of dragon god blood flows into your body.

Feeling a powerful force flowing through my body, the stinging sensation in my blood vessels was just a minor incident.

As the blood mist dissipated, he looked down at his arm.

The arteries have become noticeably thicker, but the rest of the body's tissues haven't adapted yet, causing the blood vessels to bulge out prominently, like red wires attached to the skin.

Within the blood vessels, a flame-like glow shines through the skin, visible even in daylight.

The power of the dragon's bloodline was growing stronger and stronger.

"Eight now..."

Zhou Leng continued forward.

The number of Dragonblood Guards continues to increase.

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve...

When it reached ten, the density of the new Dragon God Blood Mist noticeably increased by a level.

The power of absorption is even stronger.

After crossing a wasteland, the sounds of battle erupted.

Zhou Leng Ning looked up and saw a group of strange monsters attacking some humanoid alliance trial participants.

These trial participants were tattered and covered in wounds; they included humans, iron dwarves, sorcerers, treants, and giants.

There were fourteen people in total, and two of them were lying on the ground.

They were besieged by a motley crew of monsters.

It has everything, and the races are even more diverse.

There were rock giants, earth turtles, flesh golems, and many other non-Ten Realms monsters whose names were completely unknown. "Eye Slave..."

The monsters that hunt other people in the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain.

Since they were allies and it was on the way, Zhou Leng didn't hesitate and charged straight ahead.

"Reinforcements have arrived."

"Hold on, even the Eye Slave can't hold on any longer."

"Welcome, friend! Thank you for your help. I will never forget your kindness today!" A human martial artist shouted his thanks, showing no disrespect even though he was alone.

The Eye Slave sent out several demons to attack.

At the very front is a stone man whose entire body is made of rock.

It has no eyes, ears, nose, or mouth; it is composed entirely of rock.

In this critical moment, Zhou Leng did not hold back. He immediately unleashed his most ferocious No-Return Battle Technique and Mountain-Suppressing Battle Technique.

The surging blood and qi flowed into the right arm through the blood vessels, and the true qi of the star constellation combined closely with the power of the Heavenly Tide Palm.

The martial will, forged from the power to suppress mountains and rivers, is integrated into the right palm.

The blood and qi surged violently, and in an instant, the blood vessels in the right arm contained more than three times the normal amount of blood and qi.

The right arm pushes forward, shockwaves and steam intertwine, creating a powerful vibration.

boom!
The stone giant exploded into rubble, which scattered everywhere.

The monster paused for a moment, and its allies, who were glancing at the scene from a distance, also paused slightly.

The power of this palm strike has completely surpassed that of an ordinary Great Innate Realm cultivator, reaching the level of a top-tier Great Innate Realm cultivator.

Judging from the shockwaves on the surface of the right arm, if it goes any further, it will form the legendary dragon scale mist, creating a terrifying destructive force that only a newly promoted grandmaster can unleash.

The morale of the humanoid alliance soared.

"He's an expert!"

"They must be experts who had some extraordinary encounter; we're saved!"

Feeling an unprecedented surge of power within his body, Zhou Leng's fighting spirit suddenly ignited.

"kill!"

Zhou Leng used the powerful Heavenly Tide Palm, advancing step by step like a surging tide.

Every step brings a tsunami.

Wherever it passed, demons were torn apart.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The human martial artists in the distance observed Zhou Leng from time to time, feeling more astonished than pleased.

This person's martial arts style is pure human martial arts, upright, powerful and fierce.

However, some of the variations contain combat techniques that are clearly not human habits, but more like... those Dragonblood Guards?
The moves are wild, even some of the strange and cunning moves are full of a certain wildness.

Yet, within this wild style of martial arts lies an ineffable principle of martial arts, different from human martial arts, but each with its own merits.

Some of his moves are completely incompetent for ordinary martial artists, but he uses them perfectly.

In just a moment, Zhou Leng, with his invincible demeanor and fierce palm strikes, suppressed and killed all the demons that came.

Zhou Leng strode forward.

The monsters kept looking around.

Suddenly, a monster turned and ran away.

In an instant, the monsters scattered like birds and beasts, running off in all directions.

Zhou Leng only chased and killed three of them before turning back.

Everyone gathered together and expressed their gratitude.

Zhou Leng had been fighting for a long time and wanted to rest, so he and the others went down the mountain, set up camp, and ate meat to replenish their strength.

The group ate and chatted at the same time.

"you alone?"

"I was dragged into this place, and I still have to deal with the Broken Heaven Bone. I don't plan to stay here long," Zhou Leng said.

Upon hearing this, the others realized that he didn't want to join the group, so they didn't try to persuade him and instead chatted about other things.

"We are the most unlucky group."

"Not only did two dangerous places collide, but we also had no idea what the purpose of the Heavenly Trial was, so we could only wander around aimlessly."

"We searched for many days before discovering that there are very few humanoid alliances here, and the area is mainly composed of dragons."

Zhou Leng asked, "Do you have a recording of the Heavenly Rank Trial?"

"No, our magic users don't have any special magic artifacts, so we didn't record it."

“That’s not good…” Zhou Leng glanced at everyone. Their strength was average, and they were only able to survive until now on the Dragon God Seal Road because of good luck.

"Actually, you're fine on your own. If you encounter a Dragonblood Guard or Eye Slave that you can't beat, just run. Those dragon trial participants are smart too. Once they see us running for our lives, they don't want to waste any more time, so they just ignore us."

Zhou Leng asked, "How many Dragon Blood Guards does your team have now?"

One of them said, "Don't even mention it. A few days ago, we were able to encounter seven Dragonblood Guards, so we hid in the mountains and didn't go out, waiting for them to find us. But today, for some reason, it's strange. They're decreasing one by one, and now there are only four left. We have no choice but to go out and hunt down new Dragonblood Guards."

"The competition is quite fierce now, and the growth of my Dragon Blood Guard has slowed down," Zhou Leng remarked.

"Yes, they've probably all been taken by the dragons. They can fly, giving them a huge advantage. Someone in the group saw Dark Fury hunt down more than ten Dragonblood Guards by himself, more than our entire group combined."

"He's here too? Have you seen Emerald Wings? A green dragon."

"I didn't hear that."

"Dragonblood Guards are here, no, a lot of them... We're doomed..."

A magician suddenly pointed forward.

Zhou Leng turned his head and saw fifteen Dragon Blood Guards lined up in a row, like a large army, with billowing dust behind them and an imposing aura.

"Prepare for war!"

Everyone looked flustered and hurriedly got up.

Zhou Leng sat calmly and slowly, finished the last piece of dragon meat, and stood up.

"You guys eat first, give me ten minutes."
