Chapter 1192: Blown-Up Matter

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The group moved very quickly. After ten steps the grave guards on the two sides of the corridor instantly “came to life” and headed for the cultivators.

The dark-skinned Huge Elephant Race man who led the charge was not as weak as the rest imagined.

When the Huge Elephant Race cultivator threw a punch, he immediately exploded the head of one of the statues that leaped down.

His wide swings and ferocious style had a very natural advantage in this environment. When the Huge Elephant Race man barged through, he swept everything before him.

However, despite the Huge Elephant Race man’s ferocious strength, if the winding corridor continued for long, he might end up exhausting his Vital Qi and dying miserably.

“This place can’t stop me!”

The fatso laughed loudly. His body seemed like a rubber ball with the grave guards that leaped down continuously bouncing off him. Although his method looked comical, he would soon catch up with the dark-skinned man in front.

On the other hand, the middle-aged couple, who executed that beautiful sword art earlier, was finding it hard to handle this environment. Unlike the Huge Elephant Race cultivator, their every step was very arduous.

However, the couple worked very well together. Although they moved slowly, they were not in any danger. All sorts of sword images appeared around them, forming a screen of swords that kept the grave guards out.

The old man with the straw cape took out a fishing pole and sighed, “Even at my age, I still have to compete with the youths. This is really not easy.”

Although the old man said that, he did not hesitate to use his fishing pole at all. Given his combat experience, he applied the special characteristics of this corridor to his advantage.

Every time the old man made a move, he stopped at appropriate points, expending the least amount of energy to destroy the grave guards without any wasted effort at all.

The incredibly alluring Venom Spider Race woman appeared to have a somewhat difficult time in this corridor. The environment hindered her from exhibiting the advantages of her Martial Techniques.

However, the Venom Spider Race woman lacked the experience of that straw-caped old man or a partner like the swordswoman had. Due that this, danger surrounded her; she was probably the one in the most peril in this corridor.

It was not that the Venom Spider Race woman was weak. It was more of that she was not suited to fighting in such a complex environment.

As for the other Fiend Race woman, she appeared very domineering. She wielded a sharp, silver treasure saber in her hand as she sent out saber Qi. She did not let herself get surrounded as she continuously dashed forward.

Dugu Ao smiled coldly and executed a set of exquisite Fist Techniques. Using this in combination with his Movement Technique and speed, he was still able to perfectly bring out the state of his Fist Technique despite being surrounded.

A river surged, gushing endlessly, flowing in the direction Dugu Ao sent his Fist Technique. As the river charged through the winding corridor, none of the grave guards could stop him.

The danger allowed the group to demonstrate the uniqueness of their Martial Techniques. With one glance, Xiao Chen could see the various advantages and strength of the Martial Techniques.

Now, he had a rough idea of how strong everyone was.

Xiao Chen probably had the easiest time in this winding corridor. The fatso also easily avoided these grave guards by bouncing them away.

By relying on his Movement Technique, Dugu Ao could still use the perfect state of his Fist Technique despite being surrounded, which exposed the weakness of these grave guards.

Although there were many grave guards, they were not fast enough!

Xiao Chen’s Great Perfection Thunder Dragon Steps was in no way inferior to the Movement Techniques of those two people. In fact, his was even stronger. Naturally, he would have an even easier time.

As Xiao Chen moved, he left behind an afterimage with each step he took, brushing past a large number of grave guards.

The electric afterimages flickered and disappeared. Xiao Chen sauntered along this perilous corridor, a corridor of death, feeling very relaxed.

Originally at the very back, he quickly caught up to the Venom Spider Race woman who was surrounded by danger.

Without saying anything, Xiao Chen lent her a hand, killing the grave guards behind the Venom Spider Race woman with one palm strike each.

When Xiao Chen’s palm strikes landed, dazzling saber light streamed out of the fallen grave guards. Then, thousands of holes appeared in them, preventing them from ever getting up again.

After all the grave guards behind the Venom Spider Race woman died, her situation immediately eased up. As Xiao Chen passed by, she said a soft thanks to him.

He nodded slightly in acknowledgment. However, he did not care too much about it, either. Even if he had not made a move, this Venom Spider Race woman would not have died here. She would just have been in a sorrier state. She definitely kept some trump cards in reserve.

Xiao Chen continued executing the Thunder Dragon Steps and moving forward. As he advanced at a leisurely pace, electricity flickered, allowing him to progress easily and unhindered.

Soon, he overtook the couple that used swords. Although the two moved slowly, they were very safe. Since they did not need his help, naturally, he did not take action.

Amid the flickering afterimages, Xiao Chen brushed by the grave guards time after time.

This somewhat surprised the middle-aged couple. Unexpectedly, this Great Perfection quasi-Emperor that everyone initially looked down on had so many means at his disposal.

Not only was Xiao Chen’s physical strength superior to the Huge Elephant Race man’s, but his Movement Technique was also extremely superb as well.

Continuing his advance, Xiao Chen overtook the straw-caped old man as well. There was even less reason for him to help this old man.

Given the old man’s combat experience, stopping at the appropriate moment, he did not give the grave guards any chance to surround him. Instead, he used the environment and his fishing pole to clutter the grave guards together and get in each other’s way.

“I am indeed old already. The youth of today are even more frightening than the ones that came before.”

As the straw-caped old man watched Xiao Chen pass him, he sighed in a manner that made it impossible to tell whether his emotion was genuine or not. Then, the old man swung his fishing pole, and the transparent fishing line tore off the heads of three wooden grave guards, which then fell to the ground, unable to stand again.

The next one Xiao Chen overtook was the Silver Shark Race bladeswoman. This woman looked very pretty. However, when she moved, she became like a devil. Her boundlessly domineering aura forced everyone to take three steps back when they felt it.

The Silver Shark Race bladeswoman’s Saber Technique was exceedingly domineering. The silver saber Qi that flew over spread nearly everywhere in the entire corridor.

Not wishing to attract any trouble, Xiao Chen gently pushed off the ground and became like a tree leaf drifting in the air as he weaved through the strands of ferocious and dense saber Qi.

The Silver Shark Race woman’s actions paused. The sight of Xiao Chen’s Movement Technique startled her. She thought to herself, This fellow’s strength is extraordinary. If there is a choice, I should not enter into any conflicts with this white-robed youth.

As Xiao Chen overtook the group’s members one by one, the initially last Xiao Chen moved from the back to the front, advancing together with the front-runners—Dugu Ao, the fatso, and the dark-skinned Huge Elephant Race cultivator.

Xiao Chen was behind only the half-step Martial Emperor Yang Kai, who was leading the way. However, this was because he held back on purpose. If he wanted to, he might be able to move alongside Yang Kai.

There was no need for Xiao Chen to expose his own strength too soon. It would be enough to follow behind and ensure that he did not lose out in benefits.

The other three beside Xiao Chen were all unwilling to concede to someone else, trying to get ahead.

This was especially so for the Huge Elephant Race cultivator and Dugu Ao. However, everyone had things that they were good at. It was not easy to surpass each other by much.

The winding corridor coiled around nine times. The fatso that was bouncing around like a rubber ball panted heavily after he came to a stop, feeling incredibly tired.

The dark-skinned man had also exhausted a lot of energy along the way. In the end, he was very fatigued, so he quickly sat down and circulated his energy to recover.

Dugu Ao closed his eyes and rested, showing no intent to move. Although his Fist Technique flowed continuously, its source was almost endless as a result of some kind of cycle. Hence, its expenditure was not ridiculously high.

Even so, this move still tired Dugu Ao out so badly that he did not want to move.

Only Xiao Chen was extremely relaxed as if nothing had happened. Currently, he looked around the place casually. When Yang Kai saw this scene, he was somewhat surprised, but he did not think about it that much.

Soon, the straw-caped old man arrived with an even complexion and breathing easily.

Later, the Silver Shark Race woman, the Venom Spider Race woman, and the middle-aged couple caught up one after another. They managed to traverse the chaotic battle in the corridor without any mishap, just a daunting experience.

Yang Kai was in no rush to continue. The group only resumed their journey when everyone had rested and recovered back to their peak state.

At the end of the corridor was an empty Remnant. After this area with nothing to gain, an ancient forest appeared before the group. The wood of the trees was scarlet, and the trees had probably lived for a long time already.

“These are Dragon Blood Trees, which the ancient Dragon Race grew by watering with their blood. Since no one has come here before, we are sure to be able to find some Dragon Blood Flowers.”

Yang Kai was rather knowledgeable; he recognized these somewhat sinister-looking ancient trees with one glance.

Dragon Blood Flowers were a natural treasure that was normally found in dragon graves. They were extremely precious and could strengthen a cultivator’s bloodline and increase their talent.

The Dragon Blood Flower was also the main ingredient of the Dragon Blood Pill, something worth cities.

With the known dragon graves having already been explored several times, it was nearly impossible to obtain any Dragon Blood Flowers.

The extensive forest of Dragon Blood Trees here gave everyone some hope. They had heard of the fame of the Dragon Blood Trees before, but this was their first time seeing Dragon Blood Trees.

“As agreed, whoever discovers the natural treasures along the way gets the rights to it. Don’t fight over it with me!”

The dark-skinned Huge Elephant Race man was not afraid of this place having any dangers, so he took the lead in charging into the forest.

Xiao Chen was somewhat interested in these Dragon Blood Flowers as well since they could improve his physical body and talent as well as strengthen his bloodline. They should be even more effective on him with his Azure Dragon Martial Spirit.

Maintaining his caution, he pushed off the ground and entered this forest of Dragon Blood Trees as well.

Xiao Chen silently alighted on top of a Dragon Blood Tree. After he verified that no one was around, he opened his Heavenly Eye.

Spiritual Sense and perception were somewhat restricted in this place. If the group wanted to find the Dragon Blood Flower, they had to rely on their own eyes.

Xiao Chen, who possessed the Heavenly Eye, held many advantages without a doubt.

After opening his Heavenly Eye, he immediately swept his gaze through the entire forest, clearly seeing every corner and turning them into scenes flashing endlessly in his mind.

One flower, two flowers, three flowers…

Soon, Xiao Chen found more than one hundred flowers. Aside from a few that were too far away from him or too close to the others, he was confident of obtaining most of them.

After closing the Heavenly Eye, he took a deep breath and unfurled the Freedom Wings. Then, he executed the Thunder Dragon Steps and started collecting the Dragon Blood Flowers all over the Dragon Blood Tree forest.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Moving at full speed, Xiao Chen was so fast that he was like a shadow leaping around in the forest as he collected the Dragon Blood Flowers.
