Yintian Sect!

What kind of organization is this, what kind of inheritance, Ye Tianchen does not know. Of course, he wouldn't be too surprised. In the Fire Well of Flame Valley, in order to breakthrough his physical body to the Late Stage Martial Saint realm, he unconsciously spent more than three years. Earth itself has already become unpredictable, the entire Martial Arts World is also turbulent, these three years are enough to change many things and witness many events, this is not surprising.

And from the words of this man carrying a large knife, Ye Tianchen could also guess a few things. That is, during these three years, he didn't go back, and a place like Flame Valley is not accessible to ordinary people. Many people thought he had died in Flame Valley, and Desolate Stone Village was also on the brink of danger, indicating a great crisis, yet it hadn't been wiped out. This somewhat comforted Ye Tianchen.

"I said, I will not join the Yintian Sect. Joining such an organization that preys on the blood and flesh of children is insidious, I fear it will destroy my martial path's future!" Wuxue said coldly.

"Destroy your martial path's future? Ridiculous, I think you haven't recognized reality. I can destroy your life right now, what future martial path can you talk about?" The man carrying a large knife coldly looked at Wuxue and said.

"I'd rather die than join!" Wuxue said, clenching his fists tightly.

Ye Tianchen stood in the distance, hearing the conversation between the large-knife-wielding man and Wuxue, nodded involuntarily. In these five years, Wuxue must have encountered some fortuitous experience, otherwise, it would be impossible to reach the Mid-stage Martial King cultivation realm in these five years. What comforted Ye Tianchen the most was that in the past five years, in this world of bloody storms and survival of the fittest, where many people could believe in nothing but themselves, Wuxue had not changed his original intention, which made him the happiest. The old brother is still here, what about the other brothers?

Swish!

The strong man carrying a large knife made a move, one slash directly aiming at Wuxue. This man carrying a large knife has a Late-stage Martial King cultivation realm, and he wields a Treasure, while Wuxue does not have a Treasure. Trying to defeat this large-knife-wielding man is somewhat difficult, almost hopeless.

A Treasure, not to mention on Earth, even in the entire Martial Arts World, is scarce, not something you can find everywhere at will. Especially, the stronger the Treasure, the higher its level, the harder it is to obtain. Forging a powerful Treasure requires not only incredibly elusive basic materials but also takes a formidable martial artist decades to centuries of tempering, constantly melting it with Martial Arts True Power, engraving it with complex runes, a very arduous process. Therefore, having a Treasure passed down to disciples usually happens in some Great Sect and cultivation family, as they hold many Origin materials in their hands.

Wuxue doesn't have a Treasure in hand, his cultivation realm is also slightly inferior to this man carrying a large knife, but he did not retreat a single step, instead, he punched out against him. Such courage in battle is commendable.

Bang!

Wuxue was knocked flying, as expected, it was no good. Not only was his cultivation realm slightly inferior, not having a powerful Treasure in hand also made him no match for this large-knife-wielding man, getting blown away immediately. Fortunately, Wuxue dodged quickly, evading the burst of sword energy, otherwise, he would have been cleaved in two.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

The man carrying a large knife slashed several times, incredibly powerful and forceful. Wuxue, without a Treasure in hand and engaged in close combat, could only keep dodging, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

"You are no match for me. Not joining our Yintian Sect means certain death." The man carrying a large knife said with smugness, glancing at Wuxue.

"Even if it means death, I will not join such a vicious inheritance. I have already prepared to fight a life-and-death battle." Wuxue replied coldly.

"A life-and-death battle? I'm afraid only death awaits..." The man carrying a large knife charged towards Wuxue.

"It's hateful that I don't have a Treasure in hand, otherwise..."

Wuxue lowered his head, he naturally knew he was no match for this man carrying a large knife. Although his cultivation realm was a notch lower, with his combat experience and some divine arts in his cultivation, he could still maneuver a bit. However, without a Treasure in hand, it was indeed much weaker, making it hard to fight against this man carrying a large knife, not even having a chance for a deadly fight.

"Friend, I have a sword here. How about borrowing it to give it a try?"

Suddenly, a sword appeared in front of Wuxue, and as soon as this sword appeared, Wuxue was startled. He couldn't help but turn around to look at the person behind him. The person's face was shrouded in Martial Arts True Qi, making it impossible for him to see through, and he didn't have the time to try. The man from the Yintian Sect carrying a large blade was already charging over. Wuxue looked at the person behind him and said:

"Thank you!"

Pa!

As soon as he spoke, Wuxue had already grasped the sword in front of him with his right hand. When he grabbed the sword, he was startled to find that it seemed to want to escape his grip, and the power was immense, emanating a Power of Might that he could barely hold onto. Immediately, he placed his left hand on it as well, gripping the sword with both hands. He hadn't had time to wonder what kind of Treasure Divine Sword this was, so powerful, carrying an untouchable power that made Wuxue frown in surprise.

Shua!

The man carrying the large blade charged forward, swinging it down towards Wuxue. Wuxue, having no time to think, gripped the sword's hilt with both hands and swung it wildly, meeting the powerful Sword Energy head-on.

Bang thud!

What Wuxue did not expect was that as he wildly swung the sword, it shattered the Sword Energy of the man carrying the large blade. The Sword Qi swept across, cutting the man's blade in half.

The man carrying the large blade never imagined that Wuxue would suddenly acquire a sword. The sword didn't seem special, yet it knocked him back, landing heavily on the ground. He felt as if he could have been cut in two, breaking into a cold sweat, yet still stood up, glaring fiercely at the person behind Wuxue and said, "Who are you? How dare you meddle? The Yintian Sect will make you suffer!"

"Kill him!" The person standing behind Wuxue said coldly to Wuxue.

Wuxue hesitated, then rushed towards the man with the large blade. Under the absolute might of the sword, although this man was of a higher Cultivation Realm than Wuxue, he was still no match and was slain with his soul scattered.

After slaying the man with the large blade, Wuxue let out a heavy sigh of relief. Holding the sword, he walked up to the indistinct figure in front of him and said earnestly, "Thank you, Taoist friend, for your assistance. Now I return the Divine Sword."

"What Taoist friend? Wuxue, my brother, look at me and see who I am…" As he spoke, the Martial Arts True Qi on the person's face dissipated, and Wuxue was stunned, hardly daring to believe it.

"You... you… Big Brother!"

Wuxue knelt on the ground. He never expected that the person standing before him was actually his big brother, Ye Tianchen. Since entering the Ancient Martial World and getting separated from Ye Tianchen and the other eight, more than four years had passed. During these years, Ye Tianchen had been searching for the whereabouts of Wuxue and the other eight. Despite Earth's three remaining Ancient Martial Worlds not being particularly large, it was not easy to quickly find their traces. However, what made Ye Tianchen happy was that Wuxue had grown and was still alive, which was more important than anything else!

"Brother, get up. Now you are also a Martial Artist. We are no longer in that former relationship; we are Taoist friends and brothers!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Big Brother, I've heard a lot about you, and there have been rumors everywhere these years saying you died in Flame Valley. I was even planning to go see Flame Valley myself..." Wuxue said, still somewhat emotional.

"Mm, you've grown a lot and have become a Martial Arts expert. It seems your training in the Ancient Martial World was not in vain. I'm just a bit worried about how the other brothers are doing," Ye Tianchen said, slightly worried.

"I don't know. At the time, a powerful enemy came to kill us, but a brother with a rope-like treasure saved us. He told us to escape first, to avoid being a burden to him. We decided to flee separately, fearing being chased midway," Wuxue recounted the events.

"It's all my fault for not settling you all in first, which led to today's situation!" Ye Tianchen said with some self-blame.

"Big Brother, it's not your fault. Actually, from the moment we stepped into the Ancient Martial World, we understood that the truly bloody and cruel world is the Martial Arts World. But the power of a Martial Artist is what we crave. Since we chose to follow you here, we have to face these survival of the fittest events, to face the constant danger of annihilation. It's our own choice, so don't blame yourself!" Wuxue looked at Ye Tianchen earnestly and said.

"Let's go, I'll find the other brothers soon. As long as I'm alive, and they are alive, I will find them!" Ye Tianchen said firmly.

With Wuxue, Ye Tianchen naturally rushed towards the Shaolin of the Songshan Sect. The man from the Yintian Sect carrying a large blade had said that now Desolate Stone Village was under siege, facing the risk of annihilation at any moment. How could Ye Tianchen not be anxious...(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.
