”Four Ends Martial Lord?”
Wang Chong stared in shock at the figure in the cave.
The man standing there was none other than the first to enter the pit, the Four Ends Martial Lord. When everyone was still hesitating over the hidden dangers within the pit, the Four Ends Martial Lord had gone in without hesitation.
Wang Chong had encountered the Black Yin Ancestor and many other martial artists on his path here, but he had not seen this individual most esteemed amongst the unaffiliated martial artists.
He hadn't expected to run into him here.
The Four Ends Martial Lord was standing tall, his body exuding power and majesty, and the bright armor and large cape he wore clearly indicated his identity. This sort of mighty and soldierly aura was very rare in the martial arts world.
”Martial Lord?”
Wang Chong slowed down and began to slowly walk through this eerie cave toward the Four Ends Martial Lord.
But the Four Ends Martial Lord appeared to not hear Wang Chong. He remained motionless, seemingly thinking of something or looking at something. Wang Chong couldn't see his face, so he couldn't determine what he was actually doing.
One step, two steps… as Wang Chong got closer and closer to the Four Ends Martial Lord, the Martial Lord's cape fiercely snapped and fluttered, but the man himself remained motionless.
Wang Chong creased his brow, sensing that something was wrong but not exactly knowing what the problem was.
”Martial Lord?”
Finally, Wang Chong reached the front of the Four Ends Martial Lord. With just a glance, Wang Chong trembled and paled.
The Four Ends Martial Lord was standing in front of a passage, his eyes wide open and his veins bulging, but his complexion was the ghastly pale white of a dead man. Wang Chong could sense no vitality from his body.
Whoosh!
Grimacing, Wang Chong extended a finger to the tip of the Four Ends Martial Lord's nose. It was cold to the touch, and there was no sign of any breathing.
And to Wang Chong's consternation, when he sent his Stellar Energy probing into the Four Ends Martial Lord's body, he found that all of the meridians were broken. It was like some extremely powerful external force had snapped them all.
”How could this be?”
Wang Chong felt an unprecedented shock as he staggered backward.
He knew of the Four Ends Martial Lord, and while this extremely prestigious member of the martial arts world might have been lacking compared to Righteous Alliance Lord Song Yuanyi and the Eternal Spring Mantra he cultivated, the gap was probably not large. In the martial arts world, they belonged to the same class of experts.
Moreover, when he had first appeared before Wang Chong, he had been riding a warhorse and radiating a most fierce Yang Stellar Energy, so intense that it had manifested into searing flames that threatened to ignite the very air itself.
One could only manifest this effect by cultivating one's Stellar Energy to a sublime level.
Even Wang Chong would have found him a very troublesome opponent.
Wang Chong had never imagined that the fearless Four Ends Martial Lord and his supreme energy would die here. And from what he could tell, his meridians had been shattered by someone with an even more fierce and bright energy.
This sort of situation was simply absurd!
”Just who was it that killed the Four Ends Martial Lord?”
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil, throwing out all sorts of ideas.
He followed the gaze of the Four Ends Martial Lord's dead eyes, but all he saw was darkness and some strange green mist. Yet this sight made Wang Chong feel intensely nervous.
Anyone who could use fierce Yang energy to shatter the Four Ends Martial Lord's body could not be ordinary!
Buzz!
Wang Chong immediately sent his Psychic Energy into the darkness, toward the dark passage and that green mist.
But not even Wang Chong could have imagined the consequences this action would bring.
Buzz!
Two cold flashes of light devoid of any emotion appeared in the green mist.
”Who goes there?!”
His heart chilled as warning bells sounded off in his mind.
In a flash of light, a black figure appeared like a ghost in front of Wang Chong, moving with simply absurd levels of speed.
An immense Yang energy, akin to an erupting volcano, emerged from this man's body. For a moment, Wang Chong felt like the entire world was burning.
This scorching energy was even more terrifying than the Four Ends Martial Lord's Fierce Yang Divine Art. A blazing sun had appeared in front of Wang Chong.
The passage lit up like it was daytime.
”Not good!”
The moment this man appeared, the sense of danger in Wang Chong's mind multiplied. Goosebumps rose from his skin while his hair stood on end, his entire body stimulated by a thick stench of death that threatened to engulf him.
”Great Yin Yang Art!”
