Chapter Seven: The Truth Revealed in the Sword Duel with Twin Halberds, Contending for the Rightful Name in the Fire Attack with Silver Spears

Indeed, it is "floating away"; Yuan Zhen's body resembled a paper talisman, suspended in mid-air by an invisible thread. The body was so light that it could hardly withstand the gentle breeze generated by the dual halberds of Chi Lie and Fu Xi, and naturally floated away.

"Not good, I fear it is a ploy to draw the tiger away from its mountain..." Jiang Heng thought of this and suddenly hesitated, his steps slowing down. The person ahead seemed to sense it as well and suddenly turned around.

The sword's light surged fiercely, startling the man. He quickly turned his dual halberds back, crossing them in front of his chest, and hastily raised them in defense. With a thunderous sound, he was instantly enveloped in a sphere of azure light

Yuan Zhen quietly concealed himself from the side, and when he was only seven or eight feet away from the creature, a sudden shadow flickered, and the furry thing darted northward. Yuan Zhen let out a low cry and leaped to give chase

"Sought but not obtained..." Chilian Fuxi coldly laughed and said: "Yuan Zhen, if you do not summon the Fire Feather Phoenix, do you have the confidence to defeat me?"

At the Strange Flower Conference, suddenly a monster emerged, devouring people incessantly. This time, it was unable to stop eating.

Jiang Heng secretly wondered, seeing him running backward, a competitive spirit suddenly arose within him. He shifted his internal energy and exerted force to move forward again. Just as he leaped forward, that person gave a strange, slight smile, suddenly turned his head, and sprinted ahead.

Do monsters often appear in this world

Before this, Jiang Heng's ambition had never been so grand. At most, he had only fantasized about defeating all opponents in the world, then finding a place to settle down, marrying and having children, and finally opening a school on the mountain to recruit disciples, ensuring that his name would be forever renowned, becoming a master of martial arts for generations to come.

At this moment, Jiang Heng was not in the mood to appreciate the flowers. The reason was that in the morning he had inquired about some historical questions, and there happened to be a conclusion: the two worlds, over a thousand years ago during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, were still the same. When he further inquired about the geographical environment, although the northwest was still high and the southeast low, the area had clearly diminished significantly.

Seeing this, Jiang Heng felt somewhat at a loss. He only heard the man shout loudly, and that mass of blue light suddenly dispersed like mist. Jiang Heng thought to himself: "What a fellow..." Although he did not understand what that mass of blue light was all about, it was still his own method, and seeing it easily broken made him feel somewhat annoyed.

If this matter had occurred a few days earlier, at this moment Jiang Heng would have been cursing endlessly in disbelief, thinking "How can this be?" and "This is truly outrageous!" However, after spending the past few days in deep conversation with Yuan Zhen, he has gained a deeper understanding of this brand new world. Both physically and mentally, he has quietly made preparations for the possibility of spending the rest of his life here.

Jiang Heng felt that this shock was different from facing an internal martial arts master. Although his entire body felt numb, as if it had been shaken, it did not hinder his ability to circulate his energy and adjust his breathing in the slightest

Jiang Heng's expression was grave, and he truly did not want to continue listening. However, the voice of Chi Lie Fu Xi kept drilling into his ears: "As for Yan Zhong and the other two, to my knowledge, although they are under the command of the Master of Annihilation just like Yuan Zhen, they are not subordinate to each other and have no ties. Their sudden attack on the Fourth Prince is most likely to seize credit. Please recall, when Yan Zhong and the others appeared, did they deliberately avoid Yuan Zhen? When they suddenly attacked the Fourth Prince, was it primarily to claim credit? And after Yuan Zhen made his appearance, did the three of them not resist, while Yuan Zhen also did not make things difficult for them, leading to the matter being left unresolved?"

Upon understanding this point, Jiang Heng comforted himself: "This is just magic, not true skill. If it were true skill, I might not necessarily lose." However, whether he would actually lose remained uncertain, as Jiang Heng had no confidence based solely on imagination.

The way of martial arts, when dealing with long weapons, has as its first principle the necessity to minimize the distance between opponents, engaging in close combat to exploit their weaknesses. This was also Jiang Heng's most instinctive reaction. However, when Jiang Heng found an opportunity to close the distance, the short halberd could be wielded at will, extending when needed and shortening when desired, sometimes alternating between long and short, transforming in myriad ways, and immediately trapping him within a dual halberd formation

Yuan Zhen had long mastered the art of summoning demons, capable of calling forth the spirit fire phoenix from the Fire Feather Phoenix Pearl. How could the Earth Ugly harm him? Moreover, Yuan Zhen could transmit messages secretly; while pretending to act, he was secretly communicating with his companions on how to employ a strategy of self-inflicted harm. Naturally, the Fourth Prince would remain in the dark about this.

As long as Fourth Master believes, it is sufficient. Yuan Zhen said: "Please have Fourth Master watch from the side; once I tear off his mask, you will know the true face of this person."

Is Yuan Zhen preparing to take the Four Emperors back to the Buddha Demon Holy Mountain? This can be easily verified. Chilian Fuxi said: "Let's casually ask a few passersby on the way. From here, which is closer to the Buddha Demon Holy Mountain, and which is closer to the Xuanji Temple? The truth of the matter will soon be revealed."

Monsters may exist, but they are generally constrained by the Earth Sovereign. Without special factors, they cannot randomly emerge to cause trouble, let alone harm civilians

Am I still qualified after your evaluation

Jiang Heng originally leaped into the air, ready to pursue his advantage, but he did not expect to suddenly halt. Therefore, the force of this strike had already been unleashed with nearly ninety percent of his power, based on the earlier standoff between the two. In the end, just before it could land on his opponent, he forcefully stopped it. The skill of "letting someone live under the knife" is far more difficult than simply killing someone. Moreover, the forehead of a person is of utmost importance; being so bold as to spare a life, if there is the slightest miscalculation, it could still result in immediate death.

Hehe, this is truly flavorful

Very good! This blinding light seemed to have no effect on Chilian Fuxi, but he extended his right spear and suddenly hooked towards Yuan Zhen's right wrist. Yuan Zhen tilted his body to the side and evaded.

Brother, thank you! Jiang Heng is already aware of the general situation. In any case, no further inquiries will yield any clarity, so he said to Yuan Zhen: "Go take a look"

Jiang Yuan and the other person looked left and right, but could not see any monsters. They caught a beggar who was picking up someone else's belongings to ask him. The beggar, with a look of panic, said: "It was just here, I... I don't know either"

Jiang Heng has come to terms with this matter, and he no longer harbors any resentment. Moreover, he cannot turn back now.

At this moment, observing this person's dual halberds changing unpredictably, one has long regarded it as a matter of course. Furthermore, this person's halberd technique has its merits, and Jiang Heng becomes increasingly excited as the battle progresses, drawing his sword with ever greater speed

To the west lies a range of towering mountains, while to the east stretches an expanse of ocean, just like the world where Jiang Heng originally resided

What are you saying? Compared to Chilian Fuxi, Jiang Heng at this moment naturally still trusts Yuan Zhen more. Upon hearing this, he could not help but become furious.

Jiang Heng let out a soft "hm" and remained motionless. Chilian Fuxi knew that he had not yet convinced him, so he had to focus all his attention and remain on guard.

What exactly happened up ahead? Jiang Heng finally managed to grab a young man from the crowd to ask.

Jiang Heng could not help but feel pleased; seeing the person retreat, he immediately leaped forward, raising his right hand, intending to launch a follow-up attack.

This place is called Baihua Town, located to the southwest of Yangjiao Mountain, with a distance of approximately three hundred miles on either side. Chilie Fuxi said: "However, from here to the Sacred Mountain of the Buddha and Demon of Nirvana, it is less than a day's journey on foot. If he truly intends to send the Fourth Prince to find the Daoist Master, he should head north immediately after descending from Yangjiao Mountain. Because the Taiyi Daoist Master's Xuanji Temple is located in the Wangji Valley of the Tai Ming Mountain, north of Yangjiao Mountain, it would take seven days and nights of continuous travel. Isn't it obvious that he is going in the opposite direction?" Because the Taiyi Daoist Master's Xuanji Temple is located in the Wangji Valley of the Tai Ming Mountain, north of Yangjiao Mountain, it would take seven days and nights of continuous travel. Isn't it obvious that he is going in the opposite direction?

What the subordinate has said is entirely true

In that case, you should get up. Yuan Zhen has been looking for you for a long time to meet.

As soon as he reached out his hand, he could have struck that person on the back. Suddenly, the person turned sideways and a flash of silver light came slicing through. Jiang Heng lowered his head, drew the long sword from his back, and in that instant, struck the silver light. With a loud "clang," both of them abruptly halted, leaping back several feet from each other.

Every man of honor aspires to achieve success and create a significant career. When it comes to careers, what could be more significant than serving the entire nation? If one wishes to be a hero or a great figure, is there any hero in this world who can compare to a revered ruler, loved by all people, admired for generations, and respected by future descendants? Such a ruler is indeed more noble and greater than any other hero.

It is or it is not; you can simply ask anyone on the street to find out.

That Yuan Zhen is actually a subordinate of the Master of Extinction. He deliberately approached the Fourth Emperor, likely with ulterior motives. My subordinates have previously refrained from taking action due to concerns about potential repercussions. Now that we have finally managed to divert his attention, I kindly ask the Fourth Emperor to avoid further contact with him

The two individuals exchanged blows for nearly one or two hundred moves, and as the fight reached its peak, Jiang Heng's long sword suddenly flashed with a gleam, shooting a beam of sword light straight towards the opponent. The situation was reminiscent of that night when he was engaged in a fierce battle with Yan Zhong, Zhalong, and Mao Shou, to the extent that even Jiang Heng himself was at a loss as to what was happening.

I, your subordinate, arrived late to your rescue. If Your Highness wishes to assign blame, I, Chi Lie Fu Xi, am willing to accept the punishment

Yuan Zhen淡淡 remarked: "Everyone says that the dual halberds of Chilian Fuxi are unmatched in the world, but is there really something to fear?"

The two individuals released him and headed towards the other end of the market. Suddenly, they noticed a furry object by the well that seemed to be wriggling. Jiang Heng wanted to approach for a closer look, but Yuan Zhen stopped him, saying: "I will go."

Jiang Heng was taken aback and quickly shrank his shoulders to evade, as the light brushed past him. Upon closer inspection, the short dagger appeared unchanged, with no abnormalities. Then he saw the short dagger in his left hand slash through the air, and another beam of light shot out, the situation mirroring what had just occurred. Jiang Heng sidestepped, only to realize that his short dagger could instantly extend in length, much like a whip, but even more formidable than a whip.

The young man named Chilie Fuxi still refused to rise, lowering his head and continuing, "I have been commanded by the Daoist Master to specifically come to escort His Highness the Fourth Prince. The Daoist Master has carefully instructed me on the various characteristics of the Fourth Prince, and there is absolutely no way I could mistake him."

Unexpectedly, there was still some distance between my palm and that person, yet I saw him suddenly kneel on both knees, cupping his hands and bowing, saying: "I, Chilian Fuxi, pay my respects to Your Highness, the Fourth Prince"

Indeed, one could only hear that person utter a low exclamation: "The glint of blades..." With a flick of his right hand holding the short halberd, a beam of light shot forth, and in an instant, the halberd extended to over seven or eight feet, swiftly hooking towards Jiang Heng's left shoulder.

On this day, the two individuals arrived at Baihua Town. True to its name, the place was adorned with clusters of flowers everywhere, and the fragrance of blossoms filled the air

This was still Jiang Heng's first encounter with an unarmed opponent in this place. What he knew was palm techniques, yet he was unaware of the opponent's methods, so he could only employ a defensive move, "Water Comes, Earth Covers." He then saw the person cross their hands to form a seal, and suddenly, the hands were pulled apart with great force. Jiang Heng felt a powerful energy emanating from between the opponent's hands, rushing towards him. It resembled internal energy, yet was not entirely so. Not daring to be negligent, he shouted loudly and unleashed his palm strength. He saw the person cross their hands to form a seal again, and once more, the hands were pulled apart with great force. Jiang Heng felt a powerful energy emanating from between the opponent's hands, rushing towards him, resembling internal energy, yet not entirely so. Not daring to be negligent, he shouted loudly and unleashed his palm strength.

The two forces collided, but the anticipated shockwave did not occur. Jiang Heng only heard a soft "wave" sound, feeling as if his palm struck a tightly packed ball of cotton. The more he pushed forward, the stronger the sense of crisis became, as if he were sinking deeper. Since he could not advance, Jiang Heng slightly reduced his strength, intending to find another opening to test. Unexpectedly, this ball of cotton transformed into a jar of thick, viscous honey, possessing a sticky force that prevented him from retreating. At this moment, the distance between the two was still about three to four feet.

However, he was first injured by the land's ugliness, and then he rescued me from the hands of Yan Zhong, Zha Long, and Mao Shou, this...

It turns out it was a test for me

Due to the possibility of discussing the ancestors of Yuan Zhen, Jiang Heng chose his words with particular caution

Your Majesty, this is not the first time I have met with the Fourth Prince. I have been observing in secret since the time at the foot of Sheep Horn Mountain.

The person's eyes were filled with wonder, and they muttered incantations under their breath. Upon seeing this, Jiang Heng quickly heightened his vigilance, thinking to himself: "It is coming."

Jiang Heng occasionally thinks of the female Yuan Zhen, but the male Yuan Zhen seems to have forgotten some of the attitudes the female Yuan Zhen had towards him. Jiang Heng can only keep this feeling to himself. It is unclear whether this is the reason, but he has completely trusted Yuan Zhen, with only the final step of mixing soil to create incense and swearing blood brotherhood remaining.

If all of this is the arrangement of fate, and cannot be rejected, why not face it calmly? Jiang Heng knows that there are many dangers ahead, yet this is the necessary path to creating an immortal legacy. Moreover, one must go through this journey, for only then can great achievements be worthy of praise

Oh? Yuan Zhen's face showed displeasure as he questioned, "Does the Fourth Master not believe Yuan Zhen?"

Although he was already quite respected in the martial world due to his character and skills, it was unprecedented for someone with the prowess of the current figure, who was kneeling and bowing before him. Jiang Heng felt both flattered and astonished, while a voice in his heart began to tell him repeatedly: "Indeed, I am the Fourth Prince, destined by heaven, and I should inherit the throne"

"Yuan Zhen, wait a moment." Jiang Heng, seeing the two men on the verge of confrontation, quickly said, "This brother Chi Lie Fu Xi has mentioned some very interesting things. Let's return to the town and casually find a few people to verify. If he is lying, he certainly won't be able to escape our grasp."

The subordinate, Chi Lie Fu Xi, requests an audience with the Fourth Prince

After pursuing for a while, the two were even closer, and now even the person's earlobes and hair were clearly visible. Jiang Heng could already confirm that the shadow ahead was undoubtedly a normal person

"Your Majesty, I humbly report..." Chilian Fuxi knelt on the ground and did not rise, continuing, "This is the first matter for which I must seek your forgiveness..."

This place is likely isolated by a certain powerful magical force, severing its connection with the outside world. The cave I saw before coming here is the path to this mysterious realm, which I inadvertently stumbled into ... ...

Jiang Heng realized that the other party was intent on parting ways with him, so he ceased his nagging and exerted all his effort. As he rushed forward, his internal energy flowed continuously through his limbs and bones, warm and comfortable, making him feel at ease. His body felt as if it were barely touching the ground, propelling him forward at great speed. One zhang, eight chi, six chi, he once again closed the distance between the two.

What are you saying? Jiang Heng's strength is not being unleashed in his hands

At the break of dawn on the second day, the two immediately set off on their journey. Since their whereabouts had already been discovered, they no longer bothered to conceal themselves, choosing instead to take the main road, walking boldly and indulging in food and drink. Whenever they found themselves with nothing to do on the road, Jiang Heng would ask about anything he saw, covering everything from local customs and traditions to the state of the world. Yuan Zhen also did his utmost to answer every question.

Jiang Heng listened to him speak eloquently; every account he provided was reasonable and logical, leading Jiang Heng to unconsciously believe about seventy percent of it.

You have done everything, so there is nothing to be afraid of... Well, after you have evaluated my character and conduct, the final aspect is to assess my martial arts skills

"Impossible!" Jiang Heng interrupted him, "If it weren't for him, I would not have arrived here safely."

The incident occurred not long ago, and Jiang Heng was aware that the situation at that time was indeed as such. However, such speculation is overly wishful thinking and is not yet sufficient to prove that Yuan Zhen is truly an undercover agent sent by the Mie Du faction.

Sure... Yuan Zhen found Jiang Heng's question somewhat amusing: "The sea embraces all rivers. Otherwise, where would the waters flowing east go?"

Next, Chilian Fuxi launched a series of relentless attacks with his spear. Yuan Zhen dodged left and right; although he could not find an opportunity to counterattack, he evaded with ease and did not appear to be at a disadvantage

Jiang Heng withdrew his palm strength and took two steps back. Seeing that this person was of a similar age to him, he said: "This brother, you have mistaken the person... In any case, I am uninjured, so you may leave."

However, as the distance between the two people's palms grew closer, the resistance gradually transformed into elasticity, constantly attempting to push Jiang Heng's palm back, much like drawing a bow. At that moment, he suddenly heard a series of light sounds resembling popping beans, and a wisp of white smoke rose around him. Then, with a loud "bang," the person was propelled backward, their face filled with astonishment

"If I keep heading east, will I be able to see the sea?" Jiang Heng asked

Jiang Heng frowned and said, "Is that so?"

Jiang Heng was no longer interested in denying it, as doing so would make him seem overly timid and fearful. He said: "You first engaged in your tricks, then launched a sudden attack. Now that you are about to be defeated by me, you resort to nonsensical talk. Who can trust you?"

When the emperor? This is something he had never even dreamed of, not even in his wildest fantasies. Yet now, circumstances have given rise to heroes, and seeing so many people rallying around him, placing boundless expectations upon him, it seems as if this is indeed the reality.

Jiang Heng had not yet responded when both of them heard simultaneously: "The truth of the matter is that you, Chilian Fuxi, are the one sent by the Master of Extinction."

Jiang Heng held firm, his palm's strength unwavering, until it pressed against the man's forehead. The man remained in his original position, not moving an inch.

I just knew ... ...

Chilie Fuxi knelt down and explained: "That is because the Daoist Master has stated emphatically that the Four Emperors are destined by heaven, capable of bearing heavy responsibilities, and are the only suitable candidates to rectify the world. I, Chilie Fuxi, had originally resolved to devote myself to the cause of overthrowing the Third Prince Puhui, but due to the Daoist Master's persistent persuasion, I was advised to meet you first."

This is not good... the Wonderful Flower Society... the Wonderful Flower Society..." As the person spoke, they pointed forward while repeatedly saying, "the Wonderful Flower Society," but they were unable to continue the conversation.

Jiang Heng observed Yuan Zhen's movements and could not help but be astonished, for in terms of lightness of foot, Yuan Zhen surpassed him by more than twice. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that Yuan Zhen's feet remained half a foot above the ground at all times; no matter how he moved left or right, advanced or retreated, he never touched the ground. When Chi Lie and Fu Xi swung their spear, Yuan Zhen did not merely "dodge" but rather seemed to "float away".

Hehe, whether you want to use it or not is up to you. However, once the Fire Feather Phoenix appears, there is no need for me to elaborate on what constitutes evil and heretical forces.

Turning the corner and crossing the alley, I arrived at a marketplace. The flower vendors originally set up along the sides of the road either managed to leave in time or, for those who could not escape, dropped their goods and fled. The scattered flowers and petals on the ground evoked a sense of both tragic beauty and desolation. A few reckless vendors or beggars hid in the corners by the street, looking for opportunities to pick up the items strewn on the ground

A figure approached, with a faint light emanating from the right fist, indeed it was Yuan Zhen

Jiang Heng took a closer look and realized that the person was wielding a short dagger, continuously swinging it. Suddenly, with a grab of the left hand into the air, another dagger appeared in his grasp. It turned out he was skilled in using dual daggers.

Jiang Heng had roughly understood the situation by this point, but he found it inappropriate to inquire about the specific incantation held by Yuan Zhen's ancestors and why it had resulted in his unique constitution. Just as he was lost in thought, a sudden uproar erupted ahead in the street, with cries of alarm ringing out as many people rushed towards them

Inquire more carefully, for instance about the distance and direction of travel. Jiang Heng determined that this world is much smaller, yet the north remains a bitterly cold land, desolate and barren, with no one knowing what lies further north. Similarly, the south is a region plagued by miasma, inhospitable to both humans and animals, and no one knows where one might reach by going further south

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Jiang Heng felt a wave of fatigue wash over him as soon as he was mentioned. Since he had too many questions in his mind and could not understand everything at once, he decided not to rush into it. The two reached a consensus and began to look for a place to spend the night. Fortunately, Yuan Zhen had transformed back into a man, and the two big men could make do anywhere.

"Enough with the nonsense, here comes my move!" Yuan Zhen shouted, opening his palm as the Fire Feather Phoenix Pearl emitted a blinding light. Jiang Heng squinted his eyes and stepped back a few paces.

Jiang Heng, feeling irritable, did not retreat in the slightest. Instead, he took a deep breath and exerted himself once more, pushing forward. With this effort, he indeed advanced about two feet further.

Reaching here by oneself is certainly not a coincidence

Jiang Heng felt quite troubled and said, "I certainly believe you, it's just..."

The two individuals ran forward without needing to ask for directions; as long as they fled in the opposite direction of the crowd, they could not go wrong

Brother, take a deep breath and swallow slowly... What has happened to the marvelous flowers?

However, Jiang Heng immediately felt that something was amiss, for he had been protecting the Fourth Prince as they fled westward, and all the routes had been indicated by the Fourth Prince. At that time, the situation was urgent, and he did not think much of it; now, upon reflection, the Fourth Prince was merely a teenager of over ten years old. When had he ever stepped out of the palace? When had he traveled far? How could he possibly provide directions through the mountains and ridges a hundred miles away?

I do not understand what you are saying

How does it compare to palm strength? In the end, I won, didn't I!

Be careful, Fourth Prince... ...

The shadow moved swiftly, while Jiang Heng pursued closely behind, one in front and the other behind, racing straight out of the town. In no time, they had exited Baihua Town, and Jiang Heng was getting closer to the shadow. Upon closer inspection, the shadow before him was nothing more than the back of a person dressed in black. Looking left and right, it bore no resemblance to any monster.

Yuan Zhen paused for a moment and then said, "Magical power cannot be inherited; one is born without innate magical abilities. However, exceptionally powerful practitioners inevitably influence the next generation. For instance, when Yan Zhong was born, he had four arms, perfectly suited for practicing the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes technique, allowing him to achieve twice the result with half the effort"

However, Yuan Zhen's peculiarities are matched by Chi Lie Fu Xi, who is no pushover either. His dual halberds, which vary in length, are just sufficient to counter Yuan Zhen's erratic movements. Thus, on the surface, it appears that he is unable to deal with Yuan Zhen, but in reality, Yuan Zhen cannot find any openings to launch an attack.

Jiang Heng was taken aback

Jiang Heng rarely encounters someone who uses real weapons, and he cannot help but feel a strong curiosity. He is eager to see how those who wield magic utilize weapons. Are there any fantastical techniques?

This person is either fearless or insane

It is not the inheritance of physical traits, but rather the inheritance of magical power. Yuan Zhen Dao: For example, that day, the Yan Zhong with four arms, his father wielded the spell of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, possessing great magical power. Some say he could truly extend several hands. However, that was after chanting the spell and unleashing his power

Just as he thought, the person swayed slightly, extending his dual halberds horizontally, angling them towards him. Jiang Heng circled to the right and returned two strikes. In the first exchange, both were testing each other, holding back considerable strength. However, with that initial contact, both sides had already gauged each other's capabilities. When they clashed again in the second move, there was a resounding "clang," and both bodies jolted, retreating a few steps.

The two engaged in a fierce exchange, the intensity of which Jiang Heng had never witnessed in his lifetime. Strangely, after more than three hundred moves, their duel was conducted in silence, almost without a sound, which was also something Jiang Heng had never seen before.

What?

Jiang Heng learned from Yuan Zhen that, due to the uncertainty surrounding the Emperor of Earth’s fate, the major affairs of the realm are currently being overseen by Pu Hui, who has only recently assumed regency. Rumors of discontent and sporadic unrest have begun to spread across the nation, suggesting that this Pu Hui is indeed not favored by the people. He thought to himself, and then interjected: "So after meeting me for the first time, the first thing you do is test my abilities?"

The subordinate does not dare

Chilie Fuxi's expression changed slightly; he suddenly stood up, and with a grasp of his hands at his sides, two short daggers returned to his grasp. Jiang Heng turned around and saw a figure parting the distant thicket, swiftly racing towards him

"Wait a moment..." Jiang Heng said: "If your statement holds true, it is also possible that the situation is exactly the opposite, and you are the one sent by the Destroyer to cause destruction."

Yuan Zhen and Chi Lie Fu Xi are both experts. With the assistance of these two individuals, what is there to hesitate or worry about? In Jiang Heng's mind, these thoughts quickly turned over.

By the way, you mentioned that some people are born with extraordinary traits, which are inherited from the previous generation. Does that mean their distant ancestors were celestial beings? Or are there other legends?

The Daoist Master did not initially emphasize the strength of the Four Emperors. However, after several days of observation by his subordinates, this was just confirmed again. Chi Lie and Fu Xi were convinced both in heart and mind, and from then on, they willingly became the vanguard, ready to face any challenges, even if it meant going through fire and water.

Just as he was about to draw his sword and step forward, he suddenly saw the man shake his hands, causing both short daggers to vanish in an instant, leaving him empty-handed. Jiang Heng, witnessing such arrogance, was unsure whether to be angry or amused. Not wanting to take advantage of him, he immediately sheathed his sword, also approaching empty-handed.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Heng lightly tapped his toes and decided to follow suit to provide assistance. Suddenly, a shadow flashed behind the well, and something else darted out in the opposite direction. Jiang Heng hesitated for a moment and then split up to pursue.

Alright, I will see how capable you are

"Fourth Master, what are you still doing standing there? Hurry up and come over here." Yuan Zhen communicated through a secret sound transmission.

Jiang Heng was taken aback, for although the person had turned around, he was still retreating backward at the same speed as when he had been running forward. Upon closer inspection, the man's physique was robust, with well-proportioned limbs, a square face, arched eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and a strong, upright posture, which was in stark contrast to the so-called "monster".
