#229 - Dongzhou's No. 1 Expert
The person who appeared was an old man in a simple robe.
The old man had white hair and a youthful face, full of vigor.
He seemed to walk slowly, but his speed was astonishing.
Amidst this strong illusion of contrast, the old man arrived before everyone in just a few steps.
With the old man's appearance, whether it was the martial arts sects, the heroes of the Jianghu, or the people from the Six Doors, they all bowed to the old man:
"Greetings, Elder Zou!"
Everyone present was filled with respect for this old man.
For no other reason than that this old man was strong enough!
The old man's name was Zou Cifeng, a true powerhouse of the Third Rank!
Zou Cifeng's old eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and then he said in a deep voice:
"You bunch have been running around together for a whole day now."
"This matter has already spread throughout the entire Dongzhou martial arts world, saying that a 'Wind Demon' has appeared, single-handedly making fools of many Dongzhou martial arts experts and the Six Doors, and everyone is helpless against him, only able to eat dust behind his ass."
"If I hadn't come to see for myself, would you still want to become the laughingstock of the martial arts world?"
Zou Cifeng was highly respected and of high seniority.
His words made the martial artists present bow their heads in shame.
Without Zou Cifeng, everyone present would definitely be among the top martial artists in Dongzhou.
They had been chasing that mysterious expert for a whole day, but they still couldn't catch up.
This caused many Dongzhou martial artists to send signals for help midway.
As more and more people participated, the matter became a sensation, and many Dongzhou martial artists came to help or join in the fun after hearing the news.
But in the end, the result was still the same.
To the point that even Zou Cifeng had been alarmed.
A martial artist couldn't help but say:
"Elder Zou, it's not that we're useless, it's just that the guy's lightness skill is too high!"
"I think he's deliberately provoking our Dongzhou martial arts world, this is definitely an expert from out of town!"
"His strength, ah, is definitely at the Fourth... Third Rank!"
These words made everyone nod in agreement.
The best way to cover up one's incompetence is to exaggerate the strength of the enemy.
Everyone present could feel that the mysterious expert clearly only had the aura of the Sixth Rank.
But none of them could accept that their group of Fifth and Fourth Rank martial artists would lose to a Sixth Rank weakling.
Zou Cifeng snorted coldly upon hearing this:
"I don't believe he's that powerful!"
"As long as I find his location, I will definitely compete with him!"
As soon as Zou Cifeng finished speaking.
"Whoosh—!"
A gust of wind suddenly blew from the bottom of the cliff.
The wind was so strong that it violently shook the wild tangerine trees on the cliff, and the fallen leaves on the ground rose up one after another.
"It's him! It's him! It's him!"
"The appearance of that mysterious expert is always accompanied by a strong wind, it's this kind of eerie wind!"
"He's out! He's really out to accept the challenge!"
......
The group of martial arts experts pointed at the wind and shouted in surprise.
Zou Cifeng's eyes narrowed, and he naturally saw the figure in the wind.
In the spirit of being the number one expert in Dongzhou, Zou Cifeng cupped his fist slightly towards the figure in the wind:
"I am Zou Cifeng from Dongzhou, may I ask who you are—"
He couldn't finish speaking, but he saw the howling wind change direction.
The figure in the wind also flew quickly towards a certain direction in the distance with the wind.
Unexpectedly, he completely ignored Zou Cifeng's question!
At this moment, Zou Cifeng's posture of cupping his fist froze, and his face became extremely ugly.
He was in front of so many Dongzhou juniors, but he was completely ignored by this mysterious expert?
Outrageous!
Immediately, Zou Cifeng snorted angrily:
"Dare to look down on me?"
"Good! I will come and learn how many kilograms of lightness skill you have!"
Immediately, Zou Cifeng moved, soared into the air, and chased after the strong wind.
The people on the cliff had not yet been able to replenish the internal energy that was about to be exhausted, and they had reached their limit to be able to chase here.
How could they have the ability to participate in this competition between true experts?
Everyone could only quickly sit cross-legged and meditate, while constantly stuffing elixirs into their mouths, quickly recovering their internal energy.
They looked at the two people who were rapidly moving away, and couldn't help but marvel:
"Why do I feel like that mysterious expert in the wind seems... faster!"
"That's right! I have the same feeling, it's as if his strength and aura have suddenly increased by a large margin, so that even his lightness skill is发挥ing better."
"You couldn't see clearly, but I could see clearly. The expert's aura was Sixth Rank before, but now the aura has reached Fifth Rank, it's really strange."
"Could it be... there is something under this cliff that can allow him to improve his realm in a short period of time?"
"Very likely! Let's go down and take a look!"
......
After this group of martial artists rested briefly, they quickly found a way to reach the bottom of the cliff.
Soon.
They saw the two corpses.
"The Six Doors people come over and take a look, there's a murder case here!"
With everyone's shouts, the martial artists of the Six Doors came to investigate.
It has to be said that the Six Doors' ability to investigate cases is indeed impressive.
He searched the objects on the corpse, checked the clothes and bone condition of the corpse, and finally circled around the surroundings.
Soon, the martial artist of the Six Doors came to a conclusion:
"These two people are actually Shan Yongzhao and Ying Hongru, who have been missing for a while."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
These two were well-known experts in Dongzhou, but they actually died here.
"Who killed them?"
"It's rotten like this, it doesn't look like it was just killed."
Someone immediately asked.
The people from Six Doors also gave an answer:
"According to the traces of the fight at the scene, these two people fought each other, and they both died in the end under evenly matched strength."
"And the purpose of their fight was probably to compete for some kind of natural treasure here."
"I don't know if you smelled it, there is a residual medicinal fragrance on this stone wall."
"But the medicinal material was拔[bá: pull out/uproot] out with its roots and branches, which is obviously a trace from not long ago. I'm afraid it was done by that mysterious expert!"
The people from Six Doors pointed out the basis of their speculation while speaking.
The martial artists looked at it and expressed their conviction.
This also made everyone more confused, wondering how that mysterious expert knew that there were異[yì: different/unusual] treasures appearing here?
At the same time, this also made everyone understand why the mysterious expert's aura暴[bào: sudden/violent]涨[zhǎng: rise/swell], it seems that it was probably because he took the natural treasure.
"Could it be... that the mysterious expert didn't come to provoke, but to find treasures?"
Immediately, everyone looked in the direction where the mysterious expert and the number one in Dongzhou, Zou Cifeng, left.
The newest novels are first released at Six 9 Books Bar!
I wonder what the result of the two people's competition will be.
"Find a way to follow and see, that mysterious expert only goes in a straight line, we will be able to catch up sooner or later."
"Quickly send a signal to notify the other sects, let them pay attention to this top-level competition at all times!"
"In any case, we must grasp the outcome of this top-level competition as soon as possible!"
……
Just when the martial artists at the bottom of the cliff were still full of expectations for the ending.
Liang Jin had already flown far away.
If it is said that using "Stride the Wind, Shadow the Foot" with the strength of the fifth rank before was like a small horse pulling a big cart.
Then now that he has entered the fourth rank realm, it is equivalent to adding a cylinder to the engine, resulting in more power, improved stability, and enhanced acceleration.
Although he has not been able to fully exert the power of "Stride the Wind, Shadow the Foot", it is much improved than before.
This also led to Liang Jin flying faster and easier.
But the problem also came.
The group of martial artists who were following behind before have been甩[shuǎi: swing/throw]下[xià: down] by Liang Jin.
But now, a real expert has come!
This expert's aura is too powerful, even Liang Jin's fourth rank realm is secretly惊[jīng: alarm/frighten]心[xīn: heart].
This shows that the other party is at least a true third rank expert!
Especially the other party's lightness skill is also very strong, at least so far it has been able to keep up with Liang Jin.
This situation also made Liang Jin even more郁[yù: gloomy/depressed]闷[mèn: bored]:
"What are they搞[gǎo: do/make]什么[shén me: what]名[míng: name]堂[táng: hall/room]?"
"These Dongzhou martial artists are really endless!"
"I don't want to惹[rě: provoke] them, I'm just in a hurry, they have to作[zuò: do/make]对[duì: correct/right] with me, what's the matter?"
Even a true third rank expert has been引[yǐn: lead/guide]出[chū: exit/emerge].
Liang Jin really doesn't understand what these guys are图[tú: plan/scheme].
It is also impossible for him to stop and exchange explanations.
He knows very well that once he stops, many things will not only be unclear, but may even lead to conflicts.
Especially now, Liang Jin is very赶[gǎn: catch up/hurry]时间[shí jiān: time].
He is not necessarily able to beat a third rank martial artist.
Now Liang Jin has just entered the fourth rank, the realm has just stabilized, and he is not familiar with the power of the fourth rank.
Especially the third rank martial artists are basically the top experts in various regions, such existences may have Earth-level martial arts, and even some powerful divine weapons.
If he rashly fights with such an existence at this time, Liang Jin really has no sure win.
He may not be able to beat him.
But if it is compared to lightness skill, Liang Jin is not afraid.
"You have to追[zhuī: chase/pursue] me, right?"
"I'll see if you can catch up!"
Immediately, Liang Jin went full speed ahead!
His realm is too far from the opponent, his internal force is not as deep as the opponent, if he compares internal force consumption, it will be difficult to耗[hào: consume] with the opponent for a long time.
Then, compare爆发[bào fā: erupt/burst]力[lì: force/strength]!
Liang Jin is not planning to compare all the time, he will leave immediately after he goes to the tomb to get the treasure.
As long as he first拉[lā: pull/drag]开[kāi: open/start] a certain distance from the opponent, Liang Jin can achieve his goal.
"Whoosh——!!!"
In an instant, the surrounding wind became stronger.
And Liang Jin was in the wind, and his speed increased to the extreme.
……
Behind.
Zou Cifeng chased all the way.
The more he chased, the more secretly惊[jīng: alarm/frighten]心[xīn: heart].
He was really chasing with all his strength, without hiding anything.
But even so, he has not been able to touch the corner of the other party's clothes until now.
"What is the origin of this person? How can his lightness skill be so powerful?"
"Especially his lightness skill is special but powerful, it should not be籍[jí: register]籍[jí: register]无[wú: without/nothing]名[míng: name]."
"Why have I never heard of such a person among the lightness skill experts in the world?"
While Zou Cifeng was心[xīn: heart]惊[jīng: alarm/frighten], he couldn't help but打[dǎ: hit/strike]起[qǐ: rise/begin]十二[shí èr: twelve]分[fēn: point/mark]精神[jīng shén: spirit/energy].
He is very sure that the other party must have used some method to conceal his cultivation.
He absolutely does not believe the aura of the fifth rank martial artist that was revealed.
The opponent is at least a third rank martial artist like him!
"Whoosh——!!!"
The wind suddenly became stronger.
Zou Cifeng's eyes suddenly凛[lǐn: cold/severe] and couldn't help but exclaim:
"What?"
"He can actually提[tí: lift/raise]速[sù: speed]?!"
Zou Cifeng originally thought that the other party's speed had reached the extreme, and they were just competing for internal force consumption.
But who knows.
In Zou Cifeng's unbelievable gaze, he saw the mysterious expert in front of him becoming faster and faster with the狂[kuáng: mad/wild]风[fēng: wind], and in the end, he disappeared from his sight...
