Chapter 92: Ambushed on the Road (Third Update)

  PS: The third update is too late, I'll adjust it tomorrow, and by the way, please vote for recommendation and three rivers ticket!

  On the northwest plain, six horses galloped by, stirring up wisps of grass dust.

  "Unexpectedly, in just one year, you've not only become an inner sect disciple but also elevated your cultivation to the mid-stage of the Condensing Reality Realm." Xu Jing said calmly, on par with Ye Chen.

  Ye Chendi said: "Where can compare with Shijie, I think even if Ouyang Ming is above you, it's unlikely to take the upper hand."

  "I don't have confidence in beating him, after all he is a late-stage Condensing True Realm expert at the peak, with deeper foundations than me. Even Zhu Mei said that this person has hidden ambitions and doesn't reveal his true strength, not to mention that you should be above mid-Condensing True Realm, your body's energy and blood are flourishing, your vital energy is surging, this is a phenomenon of having power over 10,000 jin." Xu Jing saw the difference in Ye Chen at a glance.

  "What makes you think so?"

  "This is a secret method of sensing the flow of energy, which can perceive whether the opponent's energy is strong or not. Generally speaking, a force of over 10,000 jin is like rolling thunder, and over 100,000 jin is like wolf smoke that repels all evil, even without this secret method one can sense it. Legend has it that there is also a force of 1 million jin, with energy like a rainbow that pierces the heavens and summons the nine heavenly thunders, but whether this is true or not is unknown."

  "There's such a thing, I'm really ignorant." Ye Chen exclaimed in his heart, with the power of 100 million kilograms concentrated on his small body, which was terrifying enough to crush everything in the world, uproot mountains and penetrate the earth's crust.

  Xu Jingdao said, "It's not that you're ignorant, many people don't know about this aspect of knowledge. I also saw it in an ancient scroll, which recorded that ten thousand years ago, there was a sect called the Cang Mang Sect. Everyone in the sect cultivated their physical bodies, with 10,000 jin of strength being a miscellaneous disciple, 30,000 jin for outer disciples, 50,000 jin for inner disciples, and 80,000 jin for core disciples. The outer elder had 200,000 jin, the inner elder had 300,000 jin, and the sect master and several top elders all had nearly or exceeded 500,000 jin of strength. They were powerful and defied heaven, able to kill the East Sea Dragon and the West Sea Shark God."

  Wu Zongming and several of his female disciples were all enchanted by what they heard, but in their hearts, they had serious doubts. Is it really possible for someone to cultivate their internal energy to over 500,000 jin or even a million jin?

  "What has happened to this vast sect? Has it been destroyed?" Ye Chen asked.

  Xu Jing nodded, "It seems that heaven does not allow the existence of Cang Mang Sect. Overnight, the mountain gate was razed to the ground. Someone picked up a piece of dragon scales in the ruins, as big as a face basin, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, and unparalleled in sharpness. It is said that the divine dragon descended into the world and destroyed the Cang Mang Sect from top to bottom. That piece of dragon scale was left behind by the sect master and several senior elders after they fought against the divine dragon."

  "Dragon God, isn't that exaggerating a bit?! That's the existence of a legendary strongman who transcends life and death, indestructible and roaming the vast expanse." A female disciple exclaimed.

  Xu Jing's eyes swept horizontally, "The world is so vast, how can you understand it? Those who have experienced life and death are still unable to comprehend it, let alone us."

  Ye Chen smiled bitterly. His strength in the Cang Mang Sect was just that of a miscellaneous disciple, not even an outer sect disciple. He really didn't know how the people of the Cang Mang Sect cultivated.

  Half a day passed and it was high noon.

  Several people have rushed to the central location of the Northwestern Plains, looking around, the sky and the end of the plains are connected into a line, endless, white clouds are scattered and enlarged, all the way to the top of the head.

  "Hoofbeats!"

  Ye Chen's ears moved slightly as he heard the sound.

  Xu Jing nodded, "Earlier than I expected."

  Wu Zongming felt strange and asked: "Sister, do you know that someone is looking for trouble with us?"

  "Ouyang Ming has a deep connection with the horse bandits on the northwest plains, often borrowing their hands to surround and kill disciples of sects that oppose him. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last, only which group of horse bandits came this time is unknown."

  "How detestable! They actually colluded with the bandits of the plains." The three female disciples were indignant and hard to calm down.

  Xu Jing gazed at the large patches of black dots gathering from all directions and said, "What's strange about this? Everyone has their own way of doing things. Some are despicable and cunning, some are dignified and elegant, and some are ruthless and merciless. There are too many types, but as long as one's heart is open and free of demons, anyone can cultivate to a very high level, regardless of their character."

  "What a brilliant insight." Ye Chen said quietly.

  Tap tap tap tap tap tap...

  The chaotic and continuous sound of horseshoes gradually grew louder, and the crowd could already see the appearance and attire of the horse bandits in front.

  "I say go ahead and make a move, then you guys break through, I'll cover our rear." Xu Jing's tone was firm and resolute.

  "Sister!"

  "Few words, among them are masters of the highest level, cannot be forced to be enemies."

  The galloping horse was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived before everyone's eyes. There were no less than fifty bandits on horseback, among whom seven or eight people had strong true energy fluctuations, obviously being late-stage True Essence realm warriors. The leader, a man with a full beard, had his true energy condensed into a single point, extremely pure, and was undoubtedly a 100% Embryonic Breath warrior.

  Just as the horse thieves were still thirty steps away, Xu Jingyao shouted, "Break through, kill!"

  Whoosh!

  While speaking, Xu Jing's body transformed into a golden light, ignoring the thirty-step distance, and with one punch, two Condensed Realm late-stage warriors' chests exploded.

  Ye Chen's speed was not slow at all, his Crane Shadow Steps were stretched to the limit, and he had already lost his trace, merging into the air.

  Then, a horse bandit's head in the later stage of Condensing Reality exploded and turned into a bloody mist.

  Wu Zongming and three female disciples knew that their cultivation was slightly weaker, so they gathered together to make a breakthrough in the western direction with all their might.

  The leader of the horse thieves saw three of his trusted subordinates die with a blink of an eye, and let out a loud roar, pouncing towards Xu Jing. A thick aura of true energy scraped off a layer of the ground, its momentum like lightning.

  "The Devil-Subduing Fist Shakes Heaven and Earth."

  Xu Jing did not retreat or dodge, his fists like giant demons splitting mountains, directly colliding with the leader of the bandit gang.

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  This was a disaster for the surrounding horse bandits, who were blown away by the shockwave one after another, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.

  Taking three steps back, Xu Jing's expression was calm and collected, but her movements were bold and unrestrained. Her white clothes fluttered in the wind as she once again faced her opponent, unleashing a powerful and fierce punch.

  On the other side, Ye Chen was surrounded by three late-stage Condensed True Realm bandit leaders.

  "Little one, give me death, kill the wolf!"

  "Raging Spear!"

  "Wailing and howling like ghosts and wolves!"

  Three people each used their ultimate move, wanting to join forces to destroy Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen's figure was vague and unpredictable, dodging the trio's ultimate move with a casual flash. As he approached, Ye Chen's aura skyrocketed, and he threw a sideways punch.

  "Lawless tyranny!"

  Fists tore through the earth, gathering endless waves of soil and charging straight out.

  Rumble!

  The ground exploded, and the horse thief who was in the later stage of his cultivation was blown into several pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

  "This child is troublesome, prepare the bow and crossbow."

  At the sound of the order, dense arrows shot towards Ye Chen like rain, locking down a large space.

  Ding ding ding!

  Unfortunately, Ye Chen's body emitted a jade-like glow all over, and the arrow branch had just touched it, only to break into two pieces, and was bounced off.
