In the following time, Yang Qi continued to hunt the strange beasts in the Wu Tomb. During this period, he also met some practitioners from the Long clan. However, the two sides did not have direct contact, and the other party did not doubt Yang Qi's identity, which made Yang Qi feel much more at ease.
Boom!
There was a loud bang in the barren forest. Yang Qi, who was recovering his energy, woke up immediately after hearing the bang and looked into the distance.
"There are practitioners fighting!"
Yang Qi frowned. This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation. If it was when he had just entered the Martial Tomb, he would have definitely avoided it directly.
However, as he stayed in the Martial Tomb for longer and longer periods of time, he met more and more practitioners from the Long family. Yang Qi also knew that even if he met a practitioner from the Long family, there was no need to avoid them.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's body flashed and he flew towards the direction where the fighting sound came from. As he approached the fighting area, two powerful auras appeared in Yang Qi's perception range.
"High-level Martial Emperor!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. During the time he entered the Martial Tomb, he had met some practitioners from the Long family, but he had never met a high-level Martial Emperor. This time, not only was the practitioner a high-level Martial Emperor, but even the aura of the strange beast had reached the level of a seven-star Martial Emperor.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, then he rushed towards the direction of the battle.
"Seven-star Martial Emperor!"
When he arrived outside the battlefield, Yang Qi immediately saw a giant beast fighting with a human figure in the distance. The difference in strength between the two was not that big, but the beast was at a disadvantage.
"The aura from him..."
Yang Qi's gaze fell on the cultivator, but his brows were furrowed. The aura of the Seven-Star Martial Emperor was a little strange, as if shrouded in a layer of mist. If Yang Qi's cultivation was not much higher than that of the Seven-Star Martial Emperor, he might not be able to sense the fluctuations of the other party's aura.
"The secret method to hide your cultivation?" A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes.
Whether it is the secret method of concealing one's aura or concealing one's cultivation, none of them is omnipotent. They are generally only useful against practitioners who are weaker than oneself, or practitioners with similar strength. Once the opponent's strength far exceeds one's own, this means of concealment will often become ineffective.
Yang Qi's cultivation was far above that of the Seven-Star Martial Emperor. With the perception brought by his powerful soul, he could naturally feel the aura of the Seven-Star Martial Emperor easily.
"Strange, why do these practitioners from the Long family also hide their own cultivation?" Yang Qi thought puzzledly.
Yang Qi was afraid that others would discover his true level of cultivation, so he used the treasure given to him by Old Man Tianji to conceal his own level of cultivation. However, the practitioners of the Long family had no such worries at all, so why did they also have to hide their level of cultivation
Hidden strength
There is no need for this at all. Although there are fights among the practitioners of the Long family, they generally do not fight to the death. What the practitioners really have to face are the strange beasts in the martial arts tomb. Naturally, there is no need to hide their cultivation from other practitioners.
If Yang Qi did not know how difficult it was for a cultivator to enter the Martial Tomb, and if he did not feel the dragon blood in the other person, he would have doubted whether the cultivator in front of him was the same as him, and had sneaked into the Martial Tomb secretly.
The Seven-Star Martial Emperor had obviously also noticed Yang Qi's arrival, but although his strength was stronger than that of the Violent Demon Lizard, it was still very limited. At this time, the two sides were fighting fiercely, so he naturally did not dare to be too distracted and could only focus on dealing with the Violent Demon Lizard.
Oh~
With a loud dragon roar, the Seven-Star Martial Emperor transformed into a real dragon and rushed towards the violent demon lizard. As he transformed into a real dragon, the cultivator's advantage suddenly increased. The violent demon lizard was completely suppressed and its injuries became more and more serious.
"The aura from him..."
Looking at the cultivator who transformed into a real dragon, Yang Qi frowned. He felt a hint of violent aura from the real dragon, which was obviously different from that of ordinary dragon cultivators.
"Is it related to the demon blood?"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and a thought flashed through his mind. This trace of violent aura was somewhat similar to the aura in the demon blood, but not exactly the same. Even he could not be sure whether the two were related.
Boom!
The huge dragon claw fell with a loud bang, and the body of the violent demon lizard fell to the ground. The vitality in its body completely dissipated, and the violent demon lizard died.
After killing the violent demon lizard in one fell swoop, the huge real dragon disappeared, and was replaced by the cultivator from before. At this time, he was looking at Yang Qi with a vigilant expression.
"My dear brother, I am Long Su, a descendant of the Pingnanhou clan." The cultivator looked at Yang Qi and bowed slightly.
Marquis of Pingnan!
Yang Qi's eyes focused. Before entering the Wu Tomb, he had also learned something about the Longwu Dynasty. Among the many Long branches of the Longwu Dynasty, the Pingnanhou branch was considered a relatively powerful branch, and there was even a Wu Emperor in charge.
"My name is Long Qi. Brother Long Su, don't worry. I'm just passing by." Yang Qi bowed slightly.
Long Su took the initiative to report his origins, obviously worried that Yang Qi would attack him. Although with the help of Old Man Tianji's treasure, Long Su could not detect the aura of Yang Qi, but the fact that Yang Qi dared to appear here showed that his strength was definitely not weak.
Hearing this, Long Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he said, "This is the best."
After fighting with the violent demon lizard, Long Su was exhausted. Even if Yang Qi was as strong as him, he had no confidence in defeating Yang Qi under such circumstances.
“Congratulations to Brother Long Su for killing this high-level Martial Emperor-level violent demon lizard. I am really envious. This is the first time I have seen a high-level Martial Emperor-level monster on my journey.” Yang Qi looked at the corpse of the violent demon lizard and said with emotion.
"With your strength, it is not difficult to kill some high-level Martial Emperor monsters." Long Su glanced at Yang Qi before continuing, "I haven't asked Brother Long Qi where he came from..."
“The family I belong to is really not worth mentioning. I’m afraid Brother Long Su hasn’t even heard of it.” Yang Qi said with a wry smile.
When Long Su heard this, he didn't feel strange. He had heard of some high-level Martial Emperors from branches with deep roots, but Yang Qi was not among them. It was obvious that Yang Qi came from some branches that were not very powerful.
The stronger you are in the Martial Tomb, the greater the gains you will get when dealing with monsters. Many branches will deliberately cultivate several high-level Martial Emperors in order to gain more in the Martial Tomb.
“Brother Long Qi, don’t underestimate yourself. Your strength is not inferior to mine. Being able to enter the Martial Tomb is a great opportunity in itself. What you can gain in the end depends on your ability.” Long Su said with a smile.
Wumu is not only the cemetery of the strong men of the Long clan, but also a rare place for the younger generations of the Long clan to hone their skills and find the source of enlightenment. Many practitioners of the Long clan eventually grew into strong men because of the opportunities they got in Wumu. (To be continued)
