It should be noted that warriors in the holy land are generally stronger than warriors in the martial arts world. This has a lot to do with the training environment, inherited techniques, and foundation of the holy land.
Just like in the Tianwu Continent, even if they have the same level of cultivation, warriors from large sects are often stronger than those from small sects or individual cultivators.
Yang Qi's cultivation level was comparable to his, and his perception was even stronger than his. He couldn't help but doubt Yang Qi's origins.
Although there are only six holy places left in China now, there are actually several holy places that have been submerged in history. Although these holy places have been submerged in history, it does not mean that their inheritance has been cut off. In fact, there are still some disciples of the destroyed holy places occasionally appear, but most of them are short-lived. Without the support of the holy places, it is too difficult to pass on the inheritance and maintain the foundation.
The Iron Palm Sect's base was a small mountain village. As soon as the four entered the village, they saw corpses lying on the roadside.
"All dead." Ancestor Xueyun checked the bodies and spoke.
There was not a single living person in the entire village. Except for a few who were killed, most of them were devoured by the blood-sucking magic and turned into mummies.
"We are a step late." Taoist Lingxu said in a deep voice, "It seems that their actions are faster than we expected."
The entire village, hundreds of people, died just like that. Even the killer, Old Ancestor Xueyun, felt a bit reluctant. Although Xueyun Tower killed people, they were not demons and would not massacre people at will.
"These bodies still have some body temperature, they should not have gone far." Yang Qi said.
"Chase."
The next moment, four figures flashed out and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
"Nanjiang Holy Land, damn it!" Yang Qi's eyes were full of murderous intent. Although he was unwilling to provoke a behemoth like the Nanjiang Holy Land, but seeing a village being slaughtered, what the Nanjiang Holy Land did had exceeded his bottom line.
…
A hundred miles away from the small mountain village, two figures were sitting in front of a campfire. A wild boar was roasting on the fire, emitting the real aroma of meat.
"I didn't expect that this Iron Palm Sect actually has a warrior at the Hua Jin level. We've made a profit this time." An old man laughed.
This time, they only chose some small sects. After all, once the big sects were slaughtered, there was no guarantee that the martial arts world would not unite to deal with them. Moreover, these big sects had a very deep relationship with the country. Although the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land was powerful, it was far from being a match for the state machine.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that in a sect where there are so few dark energy warriors, there are actually transformation energy warriors." The man next to him also laughed.
They slaughtered some weak warriors. The energy contained in the flesh and blood of these warriors naturally would not be too much. However, the energy contained in the bodies of Hua Jin warriors was much more. One Hua Jin warrior was equivalent to the flesh and blood essence they obtained from slaughtering a small sect.
"The task assigned by the sect master this time should be completed in excess. I'm afraid the sect master will give me a considerable reward when the time comes." There was a hint of excitement in the man's eyes.
They went through so much trouble to come out of the holy land, wasn't it just to get the reward for the mission? Even in the holy land, resources are limited and it is impossible to provide them with unlimited resources. Those with high talents will get more resources, while those with low talents and small potential will naturally get fewer resources.
People like them, whose potential has been almost exhausted, can only rely on their own efforts to obtain resources for cultivation.
"Once we take down the several sects here, our mission will be accomplished. However, news came from Nine Thousand Year Old that the Taixuan Sect is uniting with people in the martial arts world to fight against us." The old man said.
"Wulin?" Hearing this, the man snorted disdainfully, "They are just trash. With our strength, why should we be afraid of them?"
"It is better to be careful. After all, Taixuanmen is one of the six holy places. The strength of the holy envoys they send out is probably not inferior to ours." The old man murmured. Having lived for so many years, he was naturally very clear about the strength of each major holy place. Among the six major holy places, Taixuanmen was also ranked in the middle.
“No matter how smart the Taixuan Sect is, they probably wouldn’t have thought that we would directly dispatch three Holy Envoys.” The man curled his lips and said indifferently.
The Taixuan Sect is indeed not weak, but the possibility of the Taixuan Sect sending out several holy envoys is too small. If they want to ask for help from the sect, I am afraid that by the time the Taixuan Sect's reinforcements arrive, they will have already left. This is their greatest confidence.
The old man nodded slightly upon hearing this. They were not too worried about the martial artists in the fetal breathing realm in the martial arts world. The reason why they did not choose the big sects to attack was that they did not want to provoke the power of the country. As for the possibility of Taixuan Sect sending out several holy envoys, it was not likely. After all, this action was also a sudden decision made by the sect.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the old man's face changed and his body retreated instantly.
“Puff~Puff~”
The next moment, several black rays of light sank into the place where the two were.
"Who?" Compared to the old man's calmness, the man was obviously a little embarrassed, looking around with a gloomy face.
"Fetal Breathing State!"
The old man raised his eyebrows. Although he discovered the hidden weapon, neither of them was injured in the sneak attack. However, their cultivation had already entered the fetal breathing realm. The warrior who could threaten them must be in the fetal breathing realm!
"Lingxu, now that you are here, come out." The old man glanced around and snorted coldly.
"Old Demon Han, I didn't expect that it would be you who came out this time." Along with Lingxu's voice, four figures appeared in the forest.
"Lingxu, I didn't expect that you are not dead yet." The old man looked at Lingxu and sneered.
"You, the devil, are not dead yet, so I dare not die." Taoist Lingxu said coldly.
Obviously, Taoist Lingxu and the old man knew each other, but it seemed that there was some grudge between them.
“Lingxu, are you just bringing three guys at the first or second level of fetal breathing here to die?” The old man glanced at Yang Qi and the other two and said with disdain.
Those who are able to serve as Holy Envoys have almost reached the limit of strength in the martial arts world, so naturally they will not have the slightest concerns about the warriors in the martial arts world.
"It's still uncertain who will die." Taoist Lingxu smiled coldly.
Yang Qi was at the fourth level of fetal breathing, so even though he lacked combat experience, with the help of Taoist Xuanxu and Old Ancestor Xueyun, it was not a problem to contain the old man. He only needed to kill the man next to him as soon as possible, and he could join forces with Yang Qi and the others to deal with the old man.
"Since you are here to die, I will grant your wish." The old man smiled coldly, and the next moment, he moved and killed Taoist Lingxu. At the same time, the man next to him also killed Yang Qi and the other two.
"Your opponent is me."
At this moment, a figure blocked the old man's way. It was Yang Qi.
"Hmm?" The old man's eyes fell on Yang Qi and he was slightly stunned.
Yang Qi's speed was unexpectedly so fast. The man who saw Yang Qi was not very old at first, and although he could not see through Yang Qi's cultivation, he just thought that Yang Qi practiced the art of hiding his aura. Now it seems that among the three people brought by Lingxu Taoist, Yang Qi's strength is the strongest! (To be continued)
