In front of an entrance to Ghost Valley, Wu Ming glanced around with a solemn expression. Apex 23S.
Fastest update
The ground was in a mess, and although there were no missing limbs or broken arms, the strong smell of the dark brown soil and the huge ravines and pits everywhere were enough to explain everything!
"There are at least eight powerful monsters and no less than ten human warriors! More than five fallen ones!"
From time to time, Chen Yuehua picked up a handful of soil and sniffed it. From time to time, she looked at the traces everywhere, and then used secret techniques to explore and make a conclusion.
"There are only three entrances to Ghost Valley. If the other entrances are like this, most of the demons and barbarians may have arrived here!"
Wu Ming frowned.
Although I knew that this trip was dangerous, I didn't expect that the demon barbarians could block the door. There were obviously many of them.
Moreover, this is not the exit he used to leave before.
Shen Xiaolan stood with her sword in hand and said nothing. She seemed taciturn and seemed a bit colder than before the breakthrough. From time to time, fierce sword intent surged through her body.
Although there are signs of just making a breakthrough and not fully mastering it, it can be clearly affected by the exercises practiced.
As a swordsman, this woman's probing methods were not her specialty. She always stood beside Wu Ming, like a guard.
"The target of the demon barbarians is not the human cemetery. Why are they blocking the door?"
Chen Yuehua frowned slightly.
"Although the goals are different, the demons are warlike and bloodthirsty, or they may have learned something from some way, thus sabotaging the human race's actions!"
Wu Mingyi gave some advice.
"What's that look in your eyes? It's Zhang Zhongxin who cooperates with Yaoman, not me!"
Chen Yuehua rolled his eyes dissatisfied.
"hehe!"
Wu Ming smiled and shook his head, then looked around and asked, "Can you tell whether the talisman and exotic treasures have been used, or..."
"I'm not a Legalist, so I can be sensitive to every detail!"
Chen Yuehua tilted her head slightly and rewarded him with the back of his head.
Wu Ming shrugged indifferently and walked inside.
"There are traces of talismans, but they are just general fluctuations of talismans that trap enemies. There are no traces of powerful attack talismans or exotic treasures!"
Chen Yuehua pursed her lips and said.
"When you fight to this level, you don't even have to use any means to keep the bottom of the box. Each one of them has a big plan!"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully.
Chen Yuehua's eyes were slightly focused, her red lips were slightly opened, and she didn't say anything in the end, but the flickering fear in her beautiful eyes became stronger.
She really couldn't understand that Wu Ming was only a year or two younger than her, but he was so meticulous and able to draw inferences from one instance to another. Even the elders and deacons in the sect who taught his disciples mental skills were inferior.
Entering the valley, a cold and cold air hit them. The three of them walked hand in hand, and there were many ghosts and shadows everywhere they passed, as if they were walking in a ghost.
But what is strange is that after traveling a hundred miles, the ghosts encountered were only two or three big and small cats, and they were not very powerful.
Wu Ming didn't even need to do anything. The two women used their swords to smash it into pieces in the blink of an eye.
Although Wu Ming's martial intention is strong, he does not have the corresponding pure Qi to cooperate with him. Unless he activates the Gang Yi with all his strength, he can cause harm to the ghost.
But the two women are different. They are both warriors of the Four Realms, and they are ranked as geniuses, almost geniuses. Naturally, ordinary ghosts cannot get close to them!
Not to mention, for the Ghost Valley mission, several major forces have collected treasures specifically designed to restrain ghosts. When worn on the body, they will cause great harm to ghosts.
It's a pity that they all fell into Wu Ming's hands before they entered the valley, and the treasures were naturally among them.
"It can't be that they were wiped out by the strong men who entered the valley!"
While Wu Ming was thinking, he observed his surroundings. The swifts flew dozens of miles away, but they didn't see a single figure. Occasionally, ghosts floated by.
Compared with before, if the landforms were not the same, he would suspect that they were two places.
Even though I have been following the traces to the entrance of the valley, there are not many clues about the battle. It seems that all the ghosts have disappeared without a trace, and the creatures that entered the valley are also missing.
"Um?"
Wu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly and he accelerated forward.
Bah!
Tens of miles later, several ghosts rushed forward with sharp roars. The two women flew up and killed them with a few ups and downs. They stood facing each other with sparks in their eyes, quite dissatisfied.
Wu Ming had already noticed the overt and covert fight between the two women, and without saying anything else, walked quickly into the stone forest, and saw a huge corpse.
It has golden hair all over its body and is supplemented by black circular markings. Its body is three feet long and it looks like a tiger or leopard. Even though it is dead, it still has a vicious intention and must not be violated lightly.
A pair of red eyes seemed to be bloodshot, with a hint of fear. The whole body was unscathed, and it was impossible to see how he died!
"The claws are made of gold and jade, and the fierce power is condensed and never dispersed. This is a great barbarian prince!"
Chen Yuehua observed it and glanced at Shen Xiaolan provocatively.
This woman has extraordinary experience and is particularly outstanding in this aspect, so the latter is naturally incomparable.
"He didn't die at the hands of ghosts or spirit monsters!"
Wu Ming frowned and glanced around.
Such a powerful leopard man has no scars on his body, and the essence of his flesh and blood is still there. It is definitely not the work of ghosts.
There are no signs of battle around, all signs are too weird!
"Something's wrong!"
Shen Xiaolan's beautiful eyebrows suddenly raised, and she stepped forward with her sword, intending to stir up the leopard's corpse.
"retreat!"
The moment the scabbard touched the corpse, Wu Ming's eyes suddenly shrank, and he grabbed the two women and fled.
Buzz!
But at this moment, there was a clanging sound, as if a magic weapon was unsheathed, the body suddenly trembled, the leopard's eyes exploded instantly, and the entire head shattered like a watermelon, and red and white things gushed out. .
But what is frightening is that a bloody light shoots out, exuding a heart-stopping and terrifying sharpness, heading straight for Shen Xiaolan.
Kaka!
Without any hesitation, Wu Ming used all his strength to activate the Bu Renjia. While protecting the two women behind him, he folded his arms in front of him to fight against this sharp light.
Wu Ming groaned amidst a harsh collision that was not very powerful. Even with the help of two women, he couldn't help but fall back.
After a dozen steps, Wu Ming's cheeks faded away, revealing a pale handsome face, and he looked solemnly at the headless corpse.
The two women turned pale and looked at each other in shock.
"It actually contains divine consciousness to attack and penetrate directly into the sea of consciousness. This kind of sword technique is really amazing!"
Wu Ming took a breath and looked uncertain.
That light was just a sword energy. Although it didn't cause much damage, it still made Wu Ming's heart sting when he was caught off guard.
Even he was like this, and the two women were almost unable to resist. This was because he blocked most of the attacks.
But it is undeniable that ordinary warriors will never be able to withstand such a powerful attack, but seeing such a great barbarian prince being killed with one blow, the sword's intention can still be condensed and not dispersed, which fully shows how terrifying it is!
"Tianjiao!"
The three of them looked at each other and read two words.
Only such powerful people have such powerful means.
Even a half-step innate strong person cannot defeat three people at the same time. Only the genius can rely on his terrifying understanding and extraordinary talent.
Even though the three Su Bingcheng before had half a step of innate strength, they couldn't do it.
Even if there are warriors who have been in this cultivation for many years and have profound cultivation, the trace of heavenly power contained in this sword energy cannot be faked. It is definitely not something ordinary half-step innates possess.
But when I thought about it again, I found it unbelievable. When did the major forces be willing to let the talented warriors enter Youxia Ridge?
Of course, Liu Yixue is an exception!
Wu Ming frowned and thought about it, excluding the human warriors who entered the valley one by one, but found no suspicious person.
"This person must have entered Youxia Ridge after disguising himself!"
Chen Yuehua also thought for a long time, and after seeing Wu Ming's eyes, he smiled bitterly and said, "Although there are saints paying attention to the matter in Youxia Ridge, they don't care what our purpose is, even if we are pretending to be someone else!"
Wu Ming had no doubts, but this was what he couldn't figure out.
The sect protects its true genius disciples very thoroughly, which can be seen from the fact that there are only a few sect disciples on the genius list.
This makes it more difficult to guess who it is.
"Shenyi Sword Qi, this is the secret of the Shenyi Sect that is not passed down. Only true disciples can practice the unique attack methods of the "Shenyi Sword Sutra"!"
Shen Xiaolan was silent for a long time and said.
"The Divine Sword Sutra?"
Chen Yuehua looked at her in surprise.
"I once went to the Shenyi Sect with my master to observe the ceremony. I took a look at it from a distance. This feeling was almost exactly the same as the sword technique performed by the Xiantian Zhenzong."
Shen Xiaolan's eyes revealed memories, and she looked at Wu Ming with some confusion.
"If this is the case, although there are many people who practice the "Shenyi Sword Sutra", there are only a few who are among the true disciples, but there are none who are innate!"
Chen Yuehua thought for a while and said.
The Luolian Sect's intelligence system is extremely strong. Even if it cannot find out the real secrets of each major sect, there will definitely be traces of the existence of such an outstanding disciple.
“Junior sister, if you have anything to say, it’s okay to say it!”
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and said.
"This matter has not spread even among the sect. I only found out by chance when I went to the Northland for training."
Shen Xiaolan hesitated and did not explain.
"Northland? There are many young masters of swordsmanship in Northland, but they are among the most talented... You are not referring to the Northland Sword Lord Mo Zangfeng who has inherited the sword madness, are you? He was accepted by Shenyi Sect as a sect?"
Chen Yuehua's eyes were full of suspicion.
"Well, I met him once when I entered a dangerous place, and the one accompanying him was a disciple of the Shenyi Sect!"
Shen Xiaolan's eyes became more complicated.
"This boy is only sixteen years old. Although his talent is extraordinary, there is a big gap between him and Tianjiao... If he is fully cultivated by Shenyi Sect, he may indeed be ranked as Tianjiao, but what is he doing in Youxia Ridge?"
Chen Yuehua was still skeptical.
"Sixteen years old?"
Wu Ming's temples twitched. He was almost a year younger than him.
According to calculations, the power of the previous sword must have been struck by a half-step innate genius warrior, otherwise it would have been impossible to kill the great barbarian prince with one strike.
Being so young, just thinking about it is terrifying!
"He was chasing someone!"
Shen Xiaolan hesitated.
"Liu Yixue!"
Chen Yuehua's beautiful eyes lit up and she looked at Wu Ming strangely.
"snort!"
Wu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, murderous intent looming.
"Senior brother, don't worry. From what I've seen, he's not chasing Princess Yixue, but inviting a fight!"
Shen Xiaolan smiled bitterly.
As a person from the Bianliang capital, she was quite familiar with Wu Ming's deeds, so she naturally knew the relationship between the Liu family of Iron Sword Palace and Prince Wu's Palace.
"The king cannot see the king!"
The murderous intent in Wu Ming's eyes disappeared, but the chill did not dissipate. The conversation between Gu Jinglong and Zhao Shuhang on the cliff of Baichuan Mountains flashed through his mind.
