High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

The one-eyed dragon kept charging forward.

The second-tier peak ability user pushed his speed to the limit, and the cold light on the axe blade was already reflected in Lin Feng's pupils.

He saw Chen Tianling wave at him.

The thought had barely crossed my mind: This good-for-nothing who looks like he's about to die still wants to fight back?

Then he knew nothing more.

It wasn't that he was hacked to death or blown up, but that his entire being was killed, from the inside out, from bone to flesh, from the deepest part of his consciousness to the outermost layer of his body.

In the same instant, they all turned into a blood mist!

With a muffled "bang," it sounded like a water-filled balloon being stomped on and burst.

The one-eyed man disappeared.

Where he had just stood, only a cloud of dark red blood mist remained, slowly spreading in the air, mixed with fine bone fragments and a few pieces of tattered black leather armor.

The axe, covered in bits of meat, clattered to the ground.

The last rays of the setting sun still shone on the axe blade.

The blood mist was blown away completely by the evening breeze, as if this person had never existed.

Then comes the second one.

The tall, thin guy carrying an iron rod who went around to the back of the line.

He saw the one-eyed man suddenly explode into a cloud of blood mist.

His pupils dilated suddenly, and his mouth opened as if to shout, but the sound hadn't even escaped his throat.

He exploded too.

Then came the third one.

The burly man who said he wanted to be the first to try it.

His axe was still raised in mid-air, and the lewd smile on his face hadn't been taken off yet, when he turned into a cloud of blood mist.

The axe slipped from his vanished hand and bounced twice on the ground.

The fourth one is the one with the crossbow.

He didn't even see Chen Tianling make a move; he only saw the three people in front of him explode into a bloody mist one after another.

He threw down his bow and crossbow and turned to run, but he exploded as soon as he took a step.

The fifth and the last one.

He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, having long since thrown away the axe somewhere.

He opened his mouth as if to beg for mercy, but couldn't utter a single word.

Then he exploded too.

From the first person to the fifth person, the explosion occurred.

It took less than three breaths.

All five second-tier ability users turned into blood mist.

The wind blew it away, and nothing was left.

Only five more crystal cores, each the size of a fingernail, appeared on the ground, emitting a faint, eerie glow in the setting sun.

Chen Tianling waved his hand again.

The five crystal cores automatically flew up from the ground where the blood mist remained.

As if drawn by an invisible thread, they flew in a line into his outstretched palm.

He looked down at the crystal cores in his palm.

The second-order crystal nucleus is about the size of a fingernail, and is an irregular polyhedron with a smooth surface.

The energy fluctuations it emitted were much stronger than those of a first-order crystal core.

But in his eyes...

That amount of energy isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Furthermore, these crystal nuclei have a similar structure to the energy crystals on Earth.

However, the energy components they contain are quite different.

There was something else he couldn't quite put his finger on, like a faint trace of dark-attribute primordial power.

very weak.

So weak as to be almost negligible.

Chen Tianling frowned slightly.

The creatures on this planet have mutated, including zombies, mutant beasts, and superhumans.

And their terrifying speed of breakthrough.

In just three years since the apocalypse, an eighth-level superhuman has emerged.

The source of these changes should be related to this dark attribute power!

But what exactly happened...?

His injuries are too severe right now; it's already a struggle for his divine sense to cover the entire planet. He'll need more time to analyze it in depth.

He snapped out of his reverie and held the five crystal cores in his palm.

Then he looked up at Lin Feng.

"Is this the kind of energy crystal you just fed me?"

His voice was hoarse but calm.

Lin Feng remained frozen in place, still holding the knife, and hadn't reacted yet.

His eyes were wide open.

Xiao Zhou, who was standing behind him, had his mouth agape wide enough to fit a fist.

The female team member covered her mouth, while the other team members were all stunned.

What did they just see?

Five second-tier superhumans.

A peak second-tier individual.

Four second-order initial stages.

They were already a formidable fighting force in Blackrock Camp.

They couldn't even last a blink of an eye in front of this important person.

No.

It's not that we didn't make it through.

This person didn't even look at them directly; he just waved his hand, and all five of them exploded!

Lin Feng had previously witnessed this person instantly kill a fourth-tier lord-level zombie.

But that was, after all, a passive counterattack while unconscious.

He only saw the result, not the process.

Now he was watching with his own eyes as this adult, sober and casual, crushed five second-tier ability users like ants.

He felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart.

"Yes...yes, sir..."

Lin Feng's voice trembled violently, thinking it was because the names varied from region to region. "It's this kind of thing, but we usually call it a crystal core."

Chen Tianling nodded.

Apply slight pressure with your five fingers.

The five second-order crystal cores turned into powder at the same time, and the energy contained within them was directly absorbed by his palm.

A flash of dark golden light appeared in his palm and then disappeared.

A touch of color returned to his pale face.

But it still looks pale.

The second-order crystal cores were better than nothing to him, but every little bit counted, and in his current state, every bit he could absorb was a bonus.

"grown ups......"

Lin Feng asked cautiously.

"Excuse me... what level of ability user are you?"

When he asked that question.

All the team members behind him held their breath, their eyes fixed on Chen Tianling.

They've wanted to ask this question for a long time.

I just didn't dare before.

He can instantly kill a fourth-tier lord-level zombie while unconscious, and casually crush five second-tier ability users when he is awake.

This is definitely not something a fifth-tier ability user could do.

Sixth-order? Seventh-order? Or eighth-order?

They dared not guess.

Chen Tianling was silent for a moment.

His actual combat strength has now dropped to the level of Martial Saint.

This is roughly equivalent to the ninth rank in the hierarchy system of this planet.

"Ninth Rank".

He spoke calmly.

Just two words.

But those two words were louder in Lin Feng's ears than the explosion of the five blood mists just now.

Ninth Rank!

"Hiss... Ninth, ninth rank?!"

The team members behind him all gasped in shock!

One of the young team members suddenly collapsed to the ground, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

Ninth rank!

The strongest ability user on the entire Yunyuan Star is only at the eighth level!

There are a few of them in the Minglong Kingdom region.

But they are all the foundations of top-tier gathering places, and you can't even see them normally.

There isn't a single eighth-tier expert in the entire Anzhou region; the strongest among them is only at the peak of the seventh tier!

And the adult standing before them at this moment.

...It's the ninth rank!

He is also very likely the only ninth-tier expert on the entire Yunyuan Star!

Lin Feng felt like his brain wasn't working properly.

He had previously thought that saving this person might connect him with a fifth or even sixth-tier connection, at most a seventh-tier connection.

Now I realize that he saved a ninth-tier celestial being!

Xiao Zhou stammered, "M-Sir...you said you're a ninth-rank?"

"The strongest being on the entire Yunyuan Star is only at the eighth rank..."

Chen Tianling glanced at him and said indifferently.

"Ninth rank, but as you can see, I am injured now."

He spoke very succinctly.

Each word was like metal striking metal.

Lin Feng understood.

This person means that the ninth rank refers to the strength of someone in an injured state.

What if there was no injury?

What if I could recover to my peak condition?

What level of skill would that be?

Tenth rank?

Or even higher?

Lin Feng dared not think any further.

He simply made a decision in his heart.

No matter what happens, he's determined to stick with this powerful figure.

"My lord, please accept my deepest respect..."

Xiao Zhou was even more direct, and immediately tried to kneel down.

Chen Tianling stopped him by raising his hand.

"There's no need for that."

Chen Tianling's voice was still hoarse.

But there was no arrogant tone in his voice; it was just a plain statement.

If they hadn't woken themselves up...

It will probably take him some time to wake up on his own.

Lin Feng stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and bowed his head.

"My lord, I was unaware of your identity before and offended you greatly. Please forgive me."

He was referring to the incident where he had previously forced medicine into Chen Tianling's mouth and pricked his wrist with a needle.

Chen Tianling waved his hand.

"You saved me, there's no need to mention these trivial matters."

Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the team members behind him also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The main reason is that the ninth-tier powerhouses are quite kind, which is extremely rare in today's world where the apocalypse has broken out.

As the apocalypse continues to unfold.

All the evil in human nature was unleashed, and the more powerful the superhuman, the more cruel and tyrannical they became.

Chen Tianling's gaze swept over everyone before he spoke calmly.

"My name is Chen Tianling."

Lin Feng quickly clasped his hands in greeting.

"Lord Chen!"

"My name is Raymond Lam!"

"It's the captain of the seventh squad of the Blackrock Camp search party!"

He pointed to the team members behind him and introduced them one by one.

"This is Xiao Zhou, a first-level healer."

"This is Su Xiaoman, also a first-level healer."

"This is Old Zhao, a peak first-tier earth-type."

"This is Da Liu, a first-tier peak strength type."
