Young Martial God

Ye Zhi asked in his mind.    

"If I'm not wrong, this should be the sword soul. The energy in your hand is the remnant energy after the sword soul is destroyed. This energy is incomparably pure, and after accumulating for a long time, it will be very beneficial to your cultivation." Master Kong explained.    

"Sword Soul, what is it?" Ye Zhi frowned. He had never heard of this thing before.    

"Sword Soul is actually similar to sword spirits, but it is still different. There are countless deaths here. After death, the accumulated resentment and the invasion of Supreme Sword Venerable's will gave birth to countless Sword Souls over the years. The Sword Soul can be seen as the combination of sword Qi and vengeful spirits."    

"Sword soul... You said before that the energy after the sword soul collapses will be of great help to one's cultivation." Ye Zhi suddenly looked at the energy that was about to dissipate as a fervent expression appeared in his eyes.    

"You mean to say that even though this place is filled with danger, it is also filled with treasures."    

"Hehe, that's what I meant, but danger is everywhere. What you encountered was only the lowest level of the Sword Soul. Almost all of the Sword Souls in the back are at the Unforgetful Stage realm, and there's another powerful one who's almost at the Peak of Unforgetful Stage realm." Master Kong had a mocking expression on his face.    

Ye Zhi trembled. A Peak of Unforgetful Stage was something that couldn't be underestimated.    

If he encountered a Peak of Unforgetful Stage warrior's sword soul, he estimated that he would have to use the Devouring Flame to resist it.    

Ye Zhi swallowed his saliva. Then, he clenched his fist and absorbed the energy of the sword soul into his body. After refining it, a wisp of pure energy was absorbed into the devouring power.    

"Just a wisp of energy can produce such pure energy." Sensing the changes in the spiritual energy in his body, Ye Zhi's eyes were as dazzling as the stars.    

"This place is really good."    

Ye Zhi licked his lips as he gazed into the depths of the darkness, and a wisp of light surged out of his eyes.    

"If I want to become stronger, then there has never been a shortcut that I can take. If I don't take risks, then I won't benefit from it." Ye Zhi muttered to himself. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Then, he walked forward quickly.    

With the previous encounter, Ye Zhi became more cautious, and his movements became slower.    

He covered a radius of more than 30 meters with his spiritual sense. No matter how mysterious the sword soul was, he could sense it as long as it was 10 meters away from him.    

Boom!    

Suddenly, Ye Zhi frowned and squinted his eyes. He thought to himself, "It's finally here.    

Two strands of sword souls quietly approached him. There was not a trace of aura coming from the void of sword souls. It seemed to have merged with this area.    

After a moment of hesitation, the two sword souls lunged at Ye Zhi at almost the same time. They were as fast as an arrow leaving the bow, and they didn't cause any disturbance.    

If it wasn't for Ye Zhi being prepared, he would have only noticed them when they got close to him.    

The speed of the Sword Souls was extremely fast, and it surpassed the Expert of Unforgetful Stage. However, Ye Zhi was already prepared. As the Sword Souls moved, two fists exploded with a fierce force and heavily smashed forward.    

Clang! Clang!    

In an instant, dozens of fists smashed onto the two sword souls. Wailing sounds rang out, and then the two sword souls were forcefully shattered by the terrifying force.    

At this moment, two pure energies were suspended in front of Ye Zhi.    

His body trembled, and a suction force arose from his body. The two energies were absorbed into his body and refined quickly.    

"This sword soul is really a cultivation magic treasure. A mere wisp of sword soul's energy is equivalent to the result of several days of practice by a Clear Mind Stage warrior." Ye Zhi's eyes lit up as he thought to himself. He couldn't help but quicken his movements and move forward quickly.    

In about a moment, Ye Zhi encountered more than twenty strands of sword soul in a row. Their strength was comparable to a low Unforgetful Stage warrior.    

With his cultivation base, there was naturally no suspense. He killed them one by one. With more than 20 strands of energy being refined, his strength had improved tremendously. It was equivalent to using a month to absorb spiritual energy.    

Moreover, this strength became pure after long-term tempering, and it was extremely beneficial to the improvement of a martial artist's body.    

Clang! Clang!    

A series of shaking sounds rang out in the dim passage, and it was like a blacksmith shop, clanging, clank, clank.    

Within the dim air, there were over 10 illusory sword souls that curled up into invisible sharp blades that coiled around Ye Zhi and emitted terrifying attacks.    

The surface of Ye Zhi's body was covered with a dazzling blue light. His body moved up and down, and the space trembled. His movement technique had become extremely amazing. He was attacked by more than ten sword souls. For a short period of time, he did not panic at all.    

With the help of the ancient movement technique, his body expanded. His Qi carried the power of devouring. He swung his body violently in the air, creating a powerful Qi wave.    

Amidst the waves of shaking sounds, sword souls were struck by the fists from time to time, and they collapsed and scattered amidst the wailing.    

After over ten breaths of time, only five strands of sword souls remained.    

Ye Zhi's figure suddenly rose, and then quickly descended. As he used the "advancing by leaps and bounds," he took a step forward. The distorted void instantly surged with a powerful killing force, and it covered the five sword souls with the fist force that filled the sky.    

Clang!    

The five illusory sword souls felt like a heavy blow, and they twisted violently. In the next second, they turned into specks of light and dissipated, leaving behind traces of pure energy.    

Hiss!    

Ye Zhi let out a long breath, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.    

Looking at the dozen or so strands of energy floating in front of him, a trace of fear appeared in Ye Zhi's eyes.    

He guessed that he had already arrived at the center of the small path. The cultivation of the sword soul here had also increased greatly, and each strand was at least at the intermediate Unforgetful Stage realm.    

However, the attack of the Sword Soul only had a few moves. Although it was full of variations and shocking speed, it was still extremely fast. And the full blow.    

Under the circumstances, wanting to kill this Sword Soul wasn't difficult at all.    

But the more than ten sword soul attacks from before made him at a loss as to what to do, and he was exhausted to parry.    

Only after executing the Immemorial Step did he slowly improve.    

But even so, his body was still injured.    

There were streaks of sword marks on his arms and fists, and blood flowed out one by one.    

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhi's body became sluggish. He absorbed more than ten strands of energy into his body and refined them.    

After several dozen breaths, Ye Zhi opened his eyes, and a trace of joy appeared in his eyes.    

The improvement of his spirit energy was beyond his expectations. According to his estimations, with another hundred strands of this sword soul, he would almost reach the peak of the Clear Mind Stage realm.    

"One hundred intermediate Unforgetful Stage sword souls..." This number made Ye Zhi's heart turn cold.    

One hundred sword souls... If it was any other warrior, he would have broken through to the Tranquil Stage realm, but it would only allow him to break through to the peak of the Hige Rank of Clear Mind Stage realm. It was still an optimistic estimate.    

"We can't force anything, let nature take its course."    

Ye Zhi muttered to himself, then took a step forward.    

However, his raised foot was suspended in the air.    

He suddenly turned his head, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes as he stared at the figure.    

Rustle! Rustle!    

The sound of light footsteps grew closer and closer, and within his Spiritual Sense, a figure rapidly shuttled through the small path, and appeared in Ye Zhi's field of vision almost in the blink of an eye.    

Ye Zhi's eyes became serious when he saw the newcomer.    

The newcomer was none other than one of the four demons trapped in the maze. Other than Floating Sinking, Green Bird, and Explosive Devil, the genius with the lowest strength was none other than Floating Sinking, Green Bird, and Explosive Devil.    

When Ye Zhi saw the other party clearly, the other party also saw him clearly.    

"Ye Zhi!"    

Su Sha's body froze. His pupils contracted as he stared at Ye Zhi with a stern expression.    

After a brief moment of loss, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.    

He never would have thought that the path he chose would be the same as the one Ye Zhi chose.    

At that time, Explosive Devil chose the path on the left. Floating Sinking and Green Bird chose the middle path, and he chose the path on the right.    

The Seventh level Order was right in front of him, murderous but not daring to take any action.    

Since Ye Zhi could defeat Tian Xun, It could be seen that his strength was extraordinary. Even if it was him, he had to be extra careful. If he really attacked, he would die if he wasn't careful.    

Furthermore, the blue flame that Ye Zhi used to defeat Tian Xun made him feel even more afraid.    

"You came out pretty quickly." Ye Zhi stared at the killing intent, his mind flying as he said indifferently.    

"Indeed. Even I didn't expect it to go so smoothly." Killing intent was fully revealed in the killing intent in his eyes as he sneered.    

"This might not be a good thing."    

Ye Zhi harrumphed coldly. His expression was ugly.    

He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot. He turned around and rushed into the depth of the trail like an arrow.    

He was stunned.    

The other party actually fled without fighting?    

What was going on?    

The image of Ye Zhi in a sorry state surfaced in his mind. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He recalled the battle between Ye Zhi and Tian Xun. Could it be that he hadn't recovered from his injuries yet?    

Or perhaps, he couldn't use the azure flame again?    

When he thought of this, he was overjoyed with killing intent, and he chased after Tian Xun without the slightest hesitation.    

In the dim passage, martial artists walked in. They did not know that there were two geniuses in the passage that were playing a game of chasing.    

"Ye Zhi, hand over the Seventh level Order and I will let you go."    

Behind them, the distance between Sha Sha and Ye Zhi was gradually closing. This made Sha Sha even more certain that Ye Zhi was seriously injured. He could not help but shout coldly.    

Ye Zhi didn't respond. He just tried his best to escape.    

For some reason, Ye Zhi felt a sense of terror in his heart. As he gradually went deeper, he didn't encounter a trace of the sword soul anymore.    

It was as if they had disappeared after he killed the dozen or so sword souls.    

This made Ye Zhi very confused, and he could not help but raise his guard.    

At this moment, the murderous aura behind him was about to catch up to Ye Zhi. He waved his hand, and a dim short sword burst out. It rolled up a cold light and flew towards Ye Zhi's back.    

Sensing the abnormality behind him, Ye Zhi turned his body. Without turning his head, he threw out a strand of azure spirit dragon to meet the dark short sword.    

Whoosh!    

The cold light stopped for a moment before piercing through the spirit dragon. Although the light was dim, its power did not change as it charged toward Ye Zhi.    

Ye Zhi's expression changed. He punched out. The blue light was dazzling in the dim light.    

Bang!    

His fist hit the short sword, and Ye Zhi's pupils shrank. His face was pale, and he retreated. There was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.    

The radiance of the short sword scattered and then flew back. He grabbed the short sword with killing intent. Looking at Ye Zhi's appearance, he threw his head back and laughed. "I really didn't expect that the Seventh level Order would fall into my hands in the end."    

"Ye Zhi, go on your way."    

A dark light surged out of Sha Sha's body. The void collapsed, and he actually appeared in front of Ye Zhi in an extremely strange manner. The dark short sword slashed out a cold light, leaving countless afterimages behind as it was displayed in front of Ye Zhi.    

At this moment, a trace of a smile appeared in Ye Zhi's eyes.    

Sha Sha suddenly had a feeling that he had seen wrongly. Was the other party still smiling?    

At such a time, he was still smiling?    

He felt puzzled, but this was insufficient to make him give up on the idea of competing for medicinal Seventh level Orders.    

The dark dagger was hidden in countless illusions, stabbing towards Ye Zhi's heart.    

As long as one was hit by the short sword, even a genius would die. He was very confident in this murderous aura.    

"Uh, what's going on? The other party actually disappeared out of thin air?"    

The killing intent's entire body shook as he stared blankly at the darkness before him with his eyes wide open.    

Where did Ye Zhi go?    

"He's too slow."    

Ye Zhi suddenly appeared behind him. His cold voice made the killing intent seem like an abyss.    

As a genius, his reaction was fast. At this critical moment, the dark dagger flashed and stabbed behind him.    

Clang!    

A loud sound shook the space.    

A gigantic blue fist heavily smashed onto the short sword. The short sword instantly bent and absorbed part of the spirit energy. When the powerful force hit it, killing intent's expression changed. A trace of pain appeared on his face as he quickly retreated.    

Only after taking a full ten steps back did he manage to stabilize his position. The hand holding the short sword violently trembled, and he himself couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.    

"You, you are actually perfectly fine?"    

Su Sha gritted his teeth and cried out in alarm.    

"What else do you think?" The corners of Ye Zhi's mouth curled up as he sneered.    

Su Sha's face turned pale. At this moment, he finally understood. The various signs from before were all disguised by Ye Zhi in order to lure him up.    

Ye Zhi was not injured. His true combat strength. His killing intent was already on the verge of retreating.    

Although medicinal Seventh level Orders were precious, they still had to have the strength to compete.    

Relying on his own strength was clearly insufficient to deal with Ye Zhi.    

He gritted his teeth, a trace of hatred appearing in his eyes. He turned around and ran back.    

"You're going to run away just like that?" Ye Zhi was stunned, and he never imagined that the other party would run away so quickly.    

He was stunned for a moment and was about to catch up.    

"Stop chasing. Trouble is coming."    

Master Kong said seriously.
