159 Another Manual

As martial art geniuses, they usually all had excellent memories. The palm manual had more than eight thousand Chinese characters, but Leng Wuqing had somehow remembered them all by heart. As for the zhen qi body map, it was also easy; he had just drawn them all on a piece of fabric which was not that much of difference from the real copy.

“How about we work together? I am sure there would be more than just us in the Heaven Dream Battle Palace.” After putting away the manual, Ye Chen asked.

Leng Wuqing replied: “The manual alone is enough for me; I don’t want to fight for more.”

Ye Chen smiled. This Leng Wuqing is quite interesting, although he had come from an evil art martial institutions, he did not have that greed in his personality those other people had. However, it should not be generalized, since everyone has different personalities; some are friendly on the outside, but brutal on the inside, while others seem cruel on the outside, but they still have principles. And this Leng Wuqing should probably belong to the ones who seemed cold on the outside, but do everything according to principles. But whether Leng Wuqing is as cold blooded as his name, I would have no idea.

With one leg stepping into the light door, Leng Wuqing said: “Plus, I don’t have anything else to exchange with anymore.”

The light door became brighter and brighter, and Leng Wuqing disappeared within.

“Maybe this time it would be you getting the treasures…” Ye Chen made a face and mumbled to himself.

After thoroughly checking out the room, and making sure there were no more hidden treasures, Ye Chen carefully walked out the room, and entered the hall.

The hall had so many lanes which led to completely different places, and along different lanes there were countless rooms, which made the whole place seemed like a labyrinth without an end.

Let’s just wander around a bit.

Ye Chen could not think of a way to go at all, so he decided to just walk around and leave it to his luck.

Lanes after lanes…

Rooms after rooms…

One floor after another…

Within an hour, Ye Chen had walked over one hundred miles. Towards the end, he had completely gotten lost, letting fate take him wherever it led him.

...

In another huge room.

In the middle of the room was a small pond. It was about three meter squares; and in the middle of the pond was a platform made of stone, on which was another crystal clear light ball. In that light ball was a great blade with ancient patterns carved on it floating peacefully. Although the blade was still in its scabbard, one could still feel a sense of intense power ready to be unleashed at any moment.

“Is this blade prepared for me?” Over that pond, Mo Wuxue had fallen in love with this blade on the spot, as his breath turned rapid.

Huh?

Mo Wuxue turned his head, and he saw a man.

It was the Killer Eagle – Yuanheng Ying.

“Yuanheng Ying, what? You want to fight with me for the great blade?” Mo Wuxue’s face was covered with murderous intention, giving off an evil vibe. It seemed like the second this conversation went wrong, he would be ready to attack.

Yuanheng Ying carefully dodged the traps, and his feet landed on the pond’s surface. He said: “Mo Wuxue, this great blade does not have an owner yet, how can you say it is yours?”

Mo Wuxue sneered, “It looks like you want not only the great blade but also my position. Okay, today you have to bleed for it.”

“Hehe, you might be the one bleeding… Are you that confident that you could win against me? I, Yuanheng Ying will let you know about my power.”

The two had a similar rank, which meant the power gap between the two should not be noticeable. Yuanheng Ying had never been afraid of Mo Wuxue before, not to mention now, with the great blade as a reward.

“Die!”

Mo Wuxue was also famous for his cruel killing style which was no weaker than Yuanheng Ying. However, unlike his opponent, he did not enjoy killing as much. But when he heard Yuanheng Ying, he was already prepared to kill. Taking out his great blade, the blade qi drew a bloody line in the air and attacked towards Yuanheng Ying.

“Fly Eagle Art! Die!”

Yuanheng Ying had seen it coming. His body shook, and a huge eagle made of zhen qi flew out of his body. A pair of wings blocked that bloody line in the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

The qi from the two crashed together, and the explosion brought up dozens of water columns.

The next second, the water column was broken through, from which Mo Wuxue appeared with an evil look on his face. He then threw out eight blade attacks without a break in between.

“Blood Storm!”

The blade qi tore apart the air, making a high-pitch unbearable sound. Looked over the place again, the pond was covered by a wave of bloody fog. If you looked closer, you could see strings of bloody red lines twisted with one another. It was attacking towards Yuanheng Ying, aiming to slice him into ten pieces.

Yuanheng Ying sneered creepily, “Mo Wuxue, if this is all you have got, I think it is better for you to hand over the great blade... otherwise it would not be just me making you bleed today… I will pop open your brain.”

After talking, he looked up into the sky and roared as loud as he could. Countless zhen qi eagles appeared again and flew out. Their sharp claws continuously torn apart all those bloody red lines. Waves after waves of them kept appearing, and it seemed like it would never end.

“It must be because I haven’t tortured someone till death for three months now. I will let you know what happens when you end up in my hand.”

The two were both one of the same kind, one was a brutal and blood craving killer, and the other one was simply a cold-blooded person who did not care for anyone. There were at least ten thousand warriors that were killed between the two of them. The killing vibe they carried could easily terrify a normal warrior, and make them lose their mind or even cause death.

Right then, with the two fighting, a horrifying deadly evil atmosphere covered the whole pond, creating an image of death.

“Decapitation!”

During the intense battle, Mo Wuxue suddenly performed his most powerful martial art. He raised his right hand with a blade in it, then used all his power to wave it down. All of a sudden, the pond sank into the ground. The shapeless but powerful bloody qi web covered Yuanheng Ying. It changed its shape extremely fast, eventually turning into a butcher’s blade and made a downwards cutting motion with enormous power.

Crack!

The zhen qi eagles were broken down, bringing Yuanheng Ying in critical danger.

“Mo Wuxue, I will let you have a taste of my true power. The Magical Eagle World!!” Yuanheng Ying’s eyes widened, dark blue zhen qi raised up to the sky, turning into a huge pair of eagle claws. As the claws appeared, an ancient raw evil vibe spread out in the room. It was almost like those claws belonged to the demons.

Bloom!

The butcher’s blade was scratched and shattered, and the huge eagle claw disappeared right after. However, the scary after wave layered over one another, spread out in the room, which eventually shattered the light ball.

“Yuanheng Ying, I will let you live this time. If I see your face again, I will kill you on the spot.” The light ball was broken, but the great blade ended in Mo Wuxue’s hand. He took fast steps, avoiding all the traps, somehow still managing to talk at the same time. However, his voice was full of killing intent.

Yuanheng Ying was so mad that he could breathe fire right now. He was not weaker than Mo Wuxue, and now that his precious treasure was stolen from him... he could only feel the frustration eating him alive, which made his eyes bloodshot.

“Mo Wuxue, just wait until I kill that brat... I will come get you.” Seeing Mo Wuxue had already made it to the light door, Yuanheng Ying threatened him.

“I will wait for you.”

Mo Wuxue did not have to guess, he knew there must be way more people than just Yuanheng Ying and him in the Heaven Dream Battle Palace. Without any surprises, one of the three treasures would have already found an owner. Adding to the great blade in his hand, then it was already two of them. Although he was very intrigued about the last treasure, he had to take precaution against Yuanheng Ying. Since he was full of hatred towards him from losing, he might not care anymore and use martial arts that would kill both of them. Therefore, he decided to head for the light door instantly and left the Heaven Dream Battle Palace. He already had one great blade, and it was not certain that he could get the second treasure from the rest of the participants.

After Mo Wuxue had left, Yuanheng Ying could not care for his frustration any longer. He headed straight to other places, hunting the remaining treasures. He was determined to get the last one.

…

Another half an hour had gone past.

Ye Chen was exhausted; it was nothing physical, he was just mentally drained. The countless identical rooms and hallways could easily cause hallucinations and frustrations, which eventually led to madness. The reason Ye Chen was able to keep calm this whole time was because he had learned the sword intent.

The sword intent could protect him from all kinds of evilness.

Besides being able to kill monsters in the real world, it would also help him clear out the monsters in his mind, which was also why all the sword artists praised it so much.

No way to tell how much time had gone past. Suddenly, Ye Chen’s body froze while walking.

Ummmm…

Ummmm…

Ummmm…

An unnoticeable vibration came from the far distance in front of Ye Chen. Although it was very light, but with his powerful senses, he still captured it.

“The second treasure!”

Ye Chen hastened his steps. His clothes were slightly waving into the air. His body made few twists, and then disappeared completely.

Moments later...

Ye Chen came into a room that was identical to the one before. Without much hesitation, he lifted up his foot and stepped into the room.

The room was really empty looking. However, a huge platform was floating in the middle of the room. There was nothing holding the platform up, instead, it was pushed up by a mysterious power, which must be so powerful that the platform stood as still as a mountain; nothing seemingly able to move it.

There was a one-meter-tall square table on the floating platform, and on that square table was another crystal light ball. Inside that light ball was a dark gold manual.

“Another manual!”

Ye Chen was instantly intrigued. Before, when he was still searching for the treasure, he had thought about a lot of stuff out of boredom: it might seem that there are a lot of treasures in this Heaven Dream Battle Palace, but not every single one of them would suit him. If that is the case, then it would not be much of a reward, would it? So the three treasures in this place could be customized, or suitable for everyone. For example, that palm skill manual was suitable for Monster Childe Leng Wuqing. It was too soon to tell what kind of manual was that, maybe it would be suitable for Leng Wuqing, or maybe it would suit me?

It might even be a martial art manual?

The trap for this room was white fire which would burst out of the floor, having a wider attacking range than the white beams. It could cover few meters in seconds. Fortunately, the quantity was less than the last room, which gave him more space to work with.

Soon, Ye Chen managed to make it under the floating platform. He threw a low rank soulstone into the air. No traps were triggered, the space under the platform seemed to be a safe zone.

With this knowledge in mind, Ye Chen was not as worried anymore. He jumped in the air, pressed his palms that were full of zhen qi onto the bottom of the platform. In a blink of an eye, he had already made it to the edge of the platform, only one flip away from getting on that platform.

Shoo!

Right at that moment, a light green zhen qi hand pressed over his head. It had extremely intensified power, and even though it had not touched Ye Chen yet, he could already feel his muscles and bones starting to tense up. It was like his body could not take the pressure anymore, and started to be crushed onto itself.

Ye Chen kept calm. He pressed one hand on the platform, his body hanging in the air; his other hand held the iron spear and threw out an attack. Suddenly, a burning red flame shot out.

Bloom!

The huge zhen qi hand was shattered. Ye Chen then saw his attacker.

“Zhuang Fei, it is you.”

Ye Chen had a stone-cold expression on his face right now. He had used the deadly attack already. If it was not for my powerful soul power and my super senses, plus, a little bit of instinct, that one palm attack could have already killed me. Even if I didn’t die from that, I could still fall out of the safe zone and get burnt to death. Although I am not sure if the Heaven Dream Battle Palace actually kills people or not.

Zhuang Fei had no expression on his face, “Ye Chen, I am taking this manual.”
