High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

"Ninth Rank..."

Lin Feng repeated it to himself.

Then, looking down at the communication stone in his palm, which was still warm, he carefully tucked it into the innermost pocket of his body.

Zheng Biao is dead, and One-Eyed Dragon is dead too.

Although he didn't find any supplies on this mission, he managed to latch onto a powerful ninth-tier expert.

They also received a communication stone personally given to them by this lord, which is equivalent to the most powerful talisman!

Zhao Guangwei turned around, his expression complex.

I feel both sorry for them and hopeful.

He took a deep breath and walked up to Lin Feng.

"Raymond Lam".

"Tell me from beginning to end how you met this sir."

"And why Zheng Biao sent people to ambush you, don't let a single word slip out."

"........."

Lin Feng nodded.

They began by searching for supplies on the outskirts of Tielan City.

From the sudden loud noise to being surrounded by a horde of corpses, to him digging Chen Tianling out of the ruins.

He recounted everything, from the instant death of the lord-level zombie to the ambush by the five members of the One-Eyed Dragon gang, to Zheng Biao's death.

After listening, Zhao Guangwei remained silent for a long time, and then looked at the communication stone in his hand.

The weight on my heart has finally been lifted.

They sacrificed most of their camp in exchange for a single communication stone; at least this lord is reasonable.

If I said I'd lend it, I meant I'd lend it; I didn't say I'd steal it.

Moreover, with his strength, he doesn't need to consult with them at all.

.........

at the same time.

Tielan City.

A figure stepped out silently from the void.

Chen Tianling stood on the ruins where he had fallen earlier.

Night fell over the entire city.

Occasionally, the howls of zombies could be heard from afar.

His divine sense spread out once more.

They carefully swept through every corner of the ruins.

Piles of rubble, steel frame, underground pipes, abandoned vehicles around, and the shopping mall next door that was half-collapsed.

Not a single inch or hair was overlooked.

No.

His lost spatial ring isn't here.

Chen Tianling withdrew his divine sense.

shook his head.

It seems they were indeed thrown off in the vortex of shattered space.

Or perhaps it fell to a place even further away.

He turned around.

His gaze fell on the zombies still wandering at the end of the street.

There are still quite a few class zombies in Tielan City.

There are dozens of third-tier creatures and hundreds of second-tier creatures.

A thought crossed his mind.

Dozens of Tier 3 zombies exploded into a bloody mist at the same time.

Hundreds of second-tier zombies also exploded at the same time.

Then there are the elite individuals among the first-tier zombies who have already condensed crystal cores.

In a short while.

All the class-based zombies in the entire city of Tielan were wiped out.

Crystal nuclei flew in from all directions, converging in front of him like a luminous river.

He clenched his fists.

All the crystal nuclei turned into powder.

As energy flowed into his body, the wound on his chest healed further, and his complexion improved a bit more.

But it's still far from being able to recover to the point where it can leave this planet.

Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to go to the stars before one has recovered to a certain extent.

Chen Tianling didn't even glance at the remaining ordinary zombies.

His figure once again merged into the void and disappeared above Tielan City, heading to the next location to search for the crystal core.

.........

Qingshuo Mountains.

A gathering place for mutated beasts located in the area surrounding Ironland City.

The entire mountain range is covered with dense primeval forests, but the trees here have been eroded beyond recognition by mutated energy.

The tree trunk was covered with disgusting growths.

The leaves are dark purple and have a rotten, sweet, and fishy smell.

Deep in the mountains.

It was occupied by a peak fourth-tier beast king, whose size was even larger than the lord-level zombie in Tielan City.

Its body is covered in dark blue scales, and it can spew out highly corrosive poisonous mist from its mouth.

At this moment, the beast king is dozing in his lair.

A figure silently stepped out from the void above its head.

Chen Tianling lowered his head.

Looking at the peak fourth-tier beast king at my feet.

He casually raised his hand and tapped downwards.

A thin golden light, as fine as a hair, shot out from the fingertip and pierced through the Beast King's head.

It goes in through the top of the head and out through the lower jaw.

The Beast King died in his sleep without even opening his eyes.

Chen Tianling waved his hand again.

The Beast King's corpse split open automatically, and a fourth-tier top-grade crystal core flew out from its heart.

It fell into his palm and was directly absorbed by him.

Then his divine sense swept across the entire mountain range, and all the mutated beasts of the second rank and above were blasted into blood mist under the cover of his divine sense.

The crystal nucleus flew out from the depths of the dense forest.

They flew out from the bottom of the canyon, they flew out from their underground nests.

He absorbed it all.

.........

Edge of the Qingshuo Mountains.

A group of human survivors, more than a dozen in total, are surrounded by a horde of beasts and are all covered in wounds.

The leader, a third-tier early-stage ability user, was currently holding a machete stained with beast blood and fiercely protecting the front of the group.

His left arm was hanging down.

Judging from its shape, it's broken.

Behind him were more than a dozen teammates.

There were men and women, all with expressions of despair.

The beast tide numbered at least a hundred, led by two mutated giant wolves at the peak of the third tier.

It's getting closer step by step.

"team leader......"

A young team member's voice was filled with despair.

"Are we going to die here...?"

The captain gritted his teeth, holding his machete horizontally in front of him, and did not answer.

He knew there was a high probability they wouldn't be able to get out today, but he couldn't say it.

He's the captain; if he falls apart, the whole team is truly finished.

Two peak-level Tier 3 giant wolves pounced at the same time.

The captain roared and unleashed his full power, slashing the head of the giant wolf at the front with his sword.

The blade got stuck in the skull.

Another giant wolf pounced from the side, its gaping maw aimed at his neck.

"team leader!"

The teammates behind him exclaimed in surprise.

The captain loosened his grip on the hilt of his knife, intending to block with his bare hands, but he knew it was too late.

Just then.

A golden beam as thin as a hair shot down from the sky and pierced through the heads of the two giant wolves.

Both giant wolves died at the same time.

The massive body crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Then came the third one.

The fourth one.

The fifth one.........

All the mutated beasts of rank two and above collapsed and died at the same instant.

The first-tier mutated beasts were terrified and scattered in all directions.

They didn't even dare to turn their heads.

The captain slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

Looking up, I saw a figure slowly descending from the sky.

The figure wore tattered dark gold armor, his face was pale but his gaze was calm as still water.

The figure landed on the ground and glanced at them.

The crystal cores inside those mutated beasts of rank two and above flew out automatically.

It gathered in his palm and then disappeared.

"It's not safe here."

The figure said something indifferently.

"You'd better leave immediately."

The captain opened his mouth.

I want to say thank you.

But that figure had already merged into the void and disappeared without a trace.

Only a dozen or so team members who had survived the ordeal remained, standing there blankly, staring in the direction where the man had disappeared.

"Team leader..."

The young player's voice was trembling.

"Have we encountered a deity...?"

The captain shook his head and then nodded.

Then he got up from the ground and forcefully pulled the cleaver embedded in the giant wolf's skull.

"Stop talking nonsense and get going."

"We'll talk about today's events when we get back."
