Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 590 Sword Song
As Zhou Leng walked out of the building, the interior of the mine's office building behind him shattered, glass shattered, and tongues of fire shot out from the windows.

They went into the monitoring room and took away all the equipment.

They kicked open the warehouse door, took away all the minerals, and returned them to their rightful owner.

Seeing tens of thousands of star-shaped conches made me feel a little better.

He also killed some people who tried to stop him.

In the darkness of night, Zhou Leng left the mine alone.

It wasn't destroyed.

After all, this is my own place, and I'll be back in a few days.

After circling around a few times to make sure they weren't being followed, they headed straight for the Treeman World.

News of Gao Tianlong's death spread to all major powers at an extremely fast pace.

Within two years, the third important figure in the Zhao family died.

"Investigate!" Zhao Hao roared in fury.

The Zhao family's resources were mobilized.

To no avail.

The same applies to summoning a legendary sorcerer.

Soon, everyone learned that the mine had actually been seized from Zhou Leng by Gao Tianlong and other powerful families, including the Zhao family, using extremely dishonorable means.

Zhou Leng's reputation and status are completely different from before.

Some young people and people with a sense of justice occasionally exchange a few sarcastic remarks with members of the Zhao family.

This world does not belong to the Zhao family alone.

Soon, news that was extremely embarrassing for the Zhao family spread.

Previously, the Zhao and Li families had agreed on a meeting between their younger generations, and the Li family asked Li Shenkong to make the request.

It was called an exchange, but in reality, it was a request for guidance from Li Shenkong.

After all, Li Shenkong is the number one among the younger generation. He has now been promoted to a Grandmaster, and his progress is unimaginable.

However, upon learning that the Zhao family had even forcibly seized Zhou Leng's mine, Li Shenkong refused to participate in the exchange between the two factions.

"We come from a respectable family, we can't afford to lose face like that."

Upon hearing this, everyone secretly mocked the Zhao family.

The Zhao family had no choice but to explain that it was Gao Tianlong who did it and that it had nothing to do with them.

This only drew more ridicule.

When they need someone, they say Gao Tianlong and Gao Tianfeng are from the Zhao family, but once they've done the dirty work and gotten dirty with their own mess, they deny it.
The old warlords didn't say much, and the new warlords hadn't fallen yet; they all rose to power through their strength and military achievements. I admire true heroes like Zhou Leng the most.

They wouldn't tolerate it and started making sarcastic remarks in various circles.

Within days, rumors spread among various factions: Back when Zhou Leng was in his sickbed, the Sixteen Families falsely accused him of being a bandit. Later, while Zhou Leng was still in his sickbed, the Zhao Family seized his mine.

However, the Zhao family strictly blocked online information, and not a single word of this matter was leaked online.

A few days later, Lady Zhao Sheng left the Zhao Palace and visited several military families.

Several martial arts factions jointly invited members of the Zhao family to participate in a martial arts exchange, which was published in the newspaper.

Various reports have been temporarily suppressed.

The Li clan also participated, but Li Shenkong used the excuse of going to the Tree Man World to cultivate to avoid participating.

Many forces praised the old lady as a true heroine.

However, the official video account of the Demon City Army released a short video.

The short video contains clips of Xu Ming's battles, with audio consisting of Wu Xin's comments.

The title is, Xu Ming's Guarantee.

"I am Xu Ming, and this man is Zhou Leng. He is a rare genius among humans. Give him a few more years, and he will definitely surpass me. Give me, Xu Ming, some face. If you meet him on the Great Battlefield, please take good care of him for me. Humanity cannot let such a genius perish. As long as he can leave the Great Battlefield alive, I, Xu Ming, will owe you a huge favor. I will go through fire and water for you if you ever ask! Zhou Leng, be a little thick-skinned. When you see martial artists, show them this. My favors are quite valuable. Let's all live well."

Next, there is the second message.

"I am Xu Ming, and I am on the great battlefield."

"Zhou Leng is one of the most talented martial artists among the young people I know."

……

"I, Xu Ming, guarantee to the Demon City Army and the Martial Academy with my integrity and martial arts that his future is limitless."

“I don’t know if I can return to Earth, but I firmly believe that Zhou Leng can, and must be able to.”

"If I am unable to return to Earth, please, all my friends, treat Zhou Leng kindly."

"If I fail to return to Earth, I will donate all my possessions to the Demon City Army."

"If you are willing to grant me one wish, please award Zhou Leng the merits he made on the great battlefield, as if awarding them to everyone who remained here."

"I firmly believe that one day humanity will be able to leave the blue planet and venture into the stars."

"The premise is that people like Zhou Leng can live on."

"Zhou Leng, please forward this voice message to the Demon City Army."

"May we meet again in a future where humanity exists."

Most people who saw it were simply filled with emotion, because Xu Ming was one of the most famous martial artists in the Dragon Kingdom.

Xu Ming's friends listened to the audio, their eyes reddened, and some even shed tears.

One after another, heavyweight martial artists left comments under this video.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xu Ming, we not only failed to protect you, but we also failed to protect Zhou Leng."

"I owe you two lives, and I'll find a chance to repay Zhou Leng."

"I'll give you face."

"I'm sorry, we failed your guarantee. I'll go and kill a few people from the Sixteen Families to atone for our sins."

The last comment, "Atony," was a reply from a very famous innate martial artist, and it received a lot of likes, becoming a top comment.

It disappeared silently very quickly.

However, jokes like "kill a few sixteens", "kill a pomegranate", and "kill a pomegranate in a farmhouse" spread in a small circle.

The next day, some of the sixteen businesses in the Demon City were destroyed, and some people were killed.

The sixteen companies dared not make a fuss, erasing all related information and keeping the matter quiet, fearing it would trigger a wave of imitations. Some rumors circulated online.

Changda No. 2 was dismissed from his post, and then a statement of dubious veracity circulated.

"If it is my responsibility to falsely accuse the students, then whose responsibility is it that hundreds of major media outlets across the country attacked Zhou Leng alone, distorted the truth, and tore apart social consensus?"

Water Island Magic City.

Zhou Leng traveled alone, occasionally encountering demons, whom he killed without hesitation.

Recently, the number of demons in the Water Island Demon City has started to increase again, which caused a slight delay in my arrival at the Demon Spirit World.

As a councilor of the Divine Tower and a master of divine script, Zhou Leng received extremely high honors in the world of demons.

Zhou Leng tried his best to keep a low profile and turned down all public events, but he still attended a seminar on divine script in the world of demons.

On that day, a large number of demigods and legends gathered, either in their true forms or as projections, making it a rare grand event in the world of demons in recent years.

After receiving guidance from Senior Sister Shen Yunxian, Zhou Leng's current level of divine script is unimaginably high for people from the Ten Realms.

After the seminar, the masters of divine script were both excited and regretful.

Excitingly, Zhou Leng solved a large number of divine inscription problems in the Demon Spirit World, some of which he even asked and answered on the spot, leaving a group of masters dumbfounded.

Unfortunately, they couldn't understand much of the content and could only listen to the recordings repeatedly afterward to study it carefully.

After the seminar ended, Cang Fei Zhi Yan arrived with the wooden jade talisman he had previously made and the "Earth Chariot" that Zhou Leng needed.

"This is the wooden jade amulet you requested, it's already made. This is the Earth Chariot, which can quickly burrow underground and travel underground. It's just been modified, it only requires magic energy crystals, no magic spirit master is needed to operate it..."

Cang Fei Zhi Yan took out the Earth Chariot and personally demonstrated it to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng took away the wooden jade talisman and the earth chariot, and took out a piece of spirit mist jade.

"What should we make this into?" Zhou Leng asked.

"So big?" Cang Feizhiyan's eyes widened as he carefully took it.

"Obtained by chance."

"If this item goes up for auction, it'll fetch at least 30 billion Chinese Yuan. If someone really needs it, who knows how high the price could go."

"What do you think is the best way to utilize it?"

"The best way is to not cut it at all, but use magic to shrink it and hang it directly on your body. But... your true energy hasn't recovered yet? How come you advanced to Grandmaster before me?" Cang Fei Zhi Yan looked at him curiously.

“I’m planning to pursue a different path in martial arts,” Zhou Leng said.

"Although the Spirit Earth Jade mainly restores true qi, at the level of Spirit Mist Jade, its true effect is to nourish the body. Ordinary ancient tree fossils will lower the power of the Spirit Mist Jade. You'll have to wait a few hours until you find the Heart of Life and then inlay it together."

Cang Fei Zhi Yan left with the Spirit Jade and returned two hours later.

The Spirit Mist Jade has been crafted into a plain-looking jade pendant, encased in silver, enchanted metal, and shrunk to the size of half a palm.

Zhou Leng took it and hung it around his neck.

Within the Spirit Mist Jade, wisps of rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth seeped into the body along the skin.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly seeps into the body.

After cultivating for several days in the trial grounds of the Demon Spirit World, selling a large number of items from the Siren World to obtain what he needed, he bid farewell to the Azure Flame and arrived in the Treant World.

It was early morning when the bell rang for the first round of Tree of Life training.

The tree people sitting under the ancient tree and a few elites from various ethnic groups got up and walked outside.

One of the humans stood out.

He was simply wearing camouflage clothing and brown military boots, with a black buzz cut, and was somewhat handsome, carrying a box slanted across his back.

Apart from that, there's nothing special about it.

Even his eyes were somewhat hazy and dull.

But Zhou Leng and those around him were drawn to him.

Like a giant of fire walking across a vast snowfield.

Zhou Leng recognized him at a glance: the martial arts legend, Li Shenkong.

As Li Shenkong approached, suddenly, the box on his back trembled slightly, emitting a strange metallic sword sound, powerful and resonant, like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon.

Many martial artists who had heard of Li Shenkong's legend were immediately excited.

"It's that legendary Starry Sky Divine Sword."

Li Shenkong paused for a moment, then quickly scanned the crowd. Finally, his gaze fell on a person wearing a black hood and camouflage clothing.

Zhou Leng and Li Shenkong looked at each other.

Both sides saw a similar aura in each other.

Grandmaster.

They nodded slightly and went their separate ways.

The further Li Shenkong walked, the more his brows furrowed.

He racked his brains but couldn't understand why the divine sword that had grown up with him since childhood, which had always been indifferent to him, would emit an excited sword cry when it met that person.

Others might not be able to hear it, but he understood it perfectly.

It was like seeing his own father.

Li Shenkong was jealous.

He was born into a powerful family and was pampered from a young age. He also possessed strength that surpassed all his peers, and his life could be described as having everything he wanted.

Aside from the difficulty of reaching the Martial Saint level, he did not encounter any other difficulties.

They not only don't understand what jealousy is, but they also don't understand envy or jealousy.

Today, he felt a pang of sadness.

After walking for a while, he looked back at the person who had caused the sword's cry. Unfortunately, that person was nowhere to be seen.

"Who is he?"

Countless images of grandmasters flashed through Li Shenkong's mind, but none of them resembled him.

Li Shenkong had a bad feeling, and then his premonition came true; he suffered from insomnia for the first time that night.

The feeling of his little sweetheart calling someone else "Dad" kept him awake at night.
