Chapter 203 - Beating In Their Own Game
Chen Xiang took a stroll in the Frozen Sword City for quite some time, exploring the city, collecting more information before buying a map. This map contained detailed information on some mountain ranges within the vicinity of the Frozen Sword City. After comparing it with the map given by Elder Tan, Chen Xiang discovered the two routes were different to his surprise. Although both led to the same destination, the crystal stone mine, the map route provided by Elder Tan was somewhat longer, with a very long roundabout route. On the contrary to the map that Chen Xiang had just bought, furthermore it had a footpath.
”It seems that Elder Tan was truly plotting against me!” Chen Xiang sneered in his heart.
”I have to meet trickery with another trick, let's see what they have planned, and if possible massacre those planning to ambush me.” Chen Xiang left the Frozen Sword City, and followed the route from the map given to him by Elder Tan.
After entering a forest, Chen Xiang indeed found a path according to the map, and after a closer inspection he noticed the path have been just recently dug up. Upon noticing this, he was even more certain that this was a trap Elder Tan and the devil path sect set up.
The Lu Family's most powerful member was a guy from the devil path sects, and also the person who passed that evil skill down to Lu Zhengnan. In light of all of this, it was impossible for the Lu Family to not have any dealings with the devil path sects.
Chen Xiang didn't go down the path, but merely followed near its vicinity, with his guard raised. For further assurance, he also made Long Xueyi pay extra attention to their surroundings.
After walking down the path for half a day, Long Xueyi suddenly shouted, ”I sense an aura. Although this guy has restrained his breath perfectly, but he can’t hide it from me. This guy is a lot stronger than you.”
Chen Xiang was surprised and asked, ”What level? And where?”
”He should be in the 5th level of the True Martial Realm. His strength is mainly in his True Qi, it's an extremely firm and yang True Qi, and posses a very dense bloody aura.” Long Xueyi replied, ”I sense him is hiding under the ground, he should specialize in assassinations.”
The 5th level of the True Martial Realm! If Chen Xiang really did get ambushed, it would truly have been dangerous.
”It should be Devil Yang True Qi from the Devil Yang Clan. The status of the Devil Yang Clan among the devil path sects is similar to that of the Extreme Martial Sect. It can regarded as the strongest sect among the devil path sects. Although the devil path sects have many conflicts with the righteous sects, they rarely dare to occupy mines belonging to righteous sects. Is there a lack of resources in the Devil Province?” Bai Youyou asked with doubt.
Although the Devil Province area was not small, there were many large devil path sects, and countless smaller sects. Although they all walked the devil path, there was still a need of a large amount of resources.
”Kill or not to kill?” Chen Xiang inquired an opinion from Su Meiyao and others.
”Don't kill him, engulf him!” Bai Youyou coldly smiled. Chen Xiang was shocked at the suggestion, to use the [Engulfing Devil Technique] to engulf his opponent, not to mention it was a 5th level True Martial realm martial artist, many levels above him!
”Currently your constitution is far better than before, your body can accommodate a large amount of True Qi. There’s no need to worry about blasting yourself to death!” Bai Youyou assured him.
Chen Xiang nodded his head. He was now in the 2nd level of the True Martial Realm, while his real strength was almost encroaching the 4th level of the True Martial Realm. There was no great disparity between him and a 5th level True Martial Realm martial artist. Moreover, he was in wilderness and there was no one else present here. The other party was a devil path sect's evil disciple, so Chen Xiang could use the [Engulfing Devil Technique] without any worry.
”Although the [Engulfing Devil Technique] should not see the light of day, when it is used, it should be used without any delay!” Bai Youyou said.
Chen Xiang nodded his head, and cautiously went forward in accordance with Long Xueyi’s guidance, silently shuttling through the trees on the trees. Not the slightest sound was made as Chen Xiang silently approached his ambusher.
That Devil Yang Clan's disciple was beneath the earth. Due to this, he mainly had to rely on his hearing and vibrations to determine if someone was closeby or not. If Chen Xiang was on the trees, it would be impossible for the assassin to detect any vibrations in the ground, and the sound made while shuttling would be disguised in the rustling of the leaves in the wind.
