The Way of the Heavens

The deep part of the nameless valley was already in a mess. Countless vines were torn apart, towering trees were broken in half, rocks were broken and shattered, and there were gullies several feet deep on the ground.

Hundreds of meters away from the main body of the Devouring Source Vine, a hideous and terrifying blue python corpse lay quietly, with countless knife and sword scars deep enough to see the bones. Its flesh was rolling and bleeding, and there was no good meat. One of the attacks almost cut it in half, killing this tenacious level 7 monster completely.

At the same time, many warrior corpses with bloody and indistinguishable appearances could be found near the monster corpse. It was obvious that the battle just now was not easy.

Cry!

A shrill cry from the sky resounded through the area again. The people on the ground looked at it and saw that the gray giant bird looked just as miserable as the blue python below.

There were only a few feathers left on its body, one wing was broken, and several blood holes were pierced through its chest, from which blood kept flowing out and dripping onto the ground.

In front of it, a gray-shirted old man with a sallow face was walking in the air with a wooden crutch in his hand. The aura emanating from his body clearly showed that his cultivation was at the Divine Sea Realm!

"Beast, it's time for you to go now."

Glancing at the giant python's corpse on the ground, the gray-shirted old man coughed and did not choose to fight with the latter, ready to end this battle.

Whoosh!

The figure of the gray-shirted old man was like a ghost, and in an instant he appeared above the head of the gray giant bird across space. The wooden crutch made of something in his hand was slightly raised, seemingly slowly but actually as fast as lightning, stabbing at the latter's head.

The gray giant bird was instantly shrouded in a terrifying crisis, and the only feathers left on its body exploded. The bird's beak made a mournful cry, ready to burst out all the energy in its body to stop the gray-shirted old man, but it was useless.

In front of everyone's eyes, the wooden crutch sank into the huge head of the gray giant bird without any hindrance. The violent true energy shook slightly, and the inside of it instantly turned into mud. The gray giant bird's red eyes froze, the spiritual light dissipated, and the energy ready to explode in the body collapsed instantly.

Bang!

The huge corpse fell from the sky, stirring up a burst of flying sand and rocks.

The only surviving nine-tailed spirit cat saw the blue giant python and the gray giant bird fall one after another. It was smarter and was not greatly affected by the medicinal fragrance. It instantly regained a bit of clarity. It knew its current situation.

The nine-tailed spirit cat used one claw to knock away a warrior's sneak attack sword, and its body nimbly dodged several attacks. Then its figure suddenly exploded, and it instantly broke away from the people who besieged it, and sank into the dense sea of ​​vines with injuries, disappearing without a trace.

Ji Chen looked at the fleeing nine-tailed spirit cat and stretched out his hand to stop his men who wanted to chase him. Compared with a level 7 monster, he now has more important things to do.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the gray-shirted old man falling from the sky, and then looked at a man with black clothes and black hair, a black long sword on his waist, and a cold and icy temperament.

It was this man who had just fought with the seventh-level monster, the blue giant python, and killed it with one sword.

The gray-shirted old man with a withered wall coughed, bowed slightly to Ji Chen and saluted, "The old withered ghost greets His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

Everyone saw the gray-shirted old man saluting Ji Chen as a strong man in the Divine Sea Realm, and they were a little confused. However, when they heard him address Ji Chen, they suddenly realized.

"That man is the Fifth Prince? Why is he here? Isn't he in the Imperial City?"

The Fifth Prince Ji Chen is a famous child of heaven in the Tang Dynasty.

On the day he was born, there was a strange phenomenon of a white rainbow piercing the sun, which shocked the court and the public. He began to practice martial arts at the age of ten, reached the peak of physical hardening at the age of sixteen, and broke through to the spiritual realm at the age of seventeen, becoming the youngest peerless genius in the Tang Dynasty in the past hundred years.

He was gentle and courteous to others, and was once in the top ten of the last Tianjiao list. He was the dream lover of countless young girls in the Tang Dynasty, and was admired and respected by countless warriors.

It is said that there are many supporters of the fifth prince in the court, and it seems that the King of Tang is also very satisfied with him and intends to make him the crown prince. It can be said that the fifth prince is very likely to be the next King of Tang in the Tang Dynasty.

So at this time, the fifth prince should be in the imperial city thousands of miles away, and should not appear here.

Ji Chen's eyes were calm, "Old Kugui, who has cultivated to the Divine Sea Realm, and Gu Jue, the Ink Blade Guest who ranks fifth on the Tianjiao List, I didn't expect that the eldest and third brother were so willing to send you here."

Old Kugui grinned, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince heard that there were strange fruits that he had never heard of before, so he sent me to explore it."

Ji Chen came here secretly to find the whereabouts of the divine object of heavenly punishment. Since he could get the news here, the Third Prince Ji Wuya could naturally get it.

However, the latter did not have the courage of the former, and dared to come here secretly to find it alone, but only sent his capable men to come.

And the other man with a cold breath all over his body was sent by the eldest prince.

Gu Jue, the Ink Blade Guest, looked at Ji Chen with cold eyes, without any concerns about his identity. Except for the knife and the man's order, everything else had nothing to do with him.

"You are very strong, how about a fight between you and me?"

Gu Jue stepped forward, looking directly at Ji Chen, with a strong fighting spirit on his body, as if he would draw his sword and fight with the latter in the next moment.

In the previous battle, Ji Chen led everyone to stop the nine-tailed spirit cat. Although he only made a few moves to stop the nine-tailed spirit cat from killing his men, Gu Jue saw that Ji Chen was very strong and was definitely not weaker than him.

This made Gu Jue, who was crazy about fighting and swords, want to fight him.

Ji Chen glanced at Gu Jue and smiled lightly: "If you want to fight, what are you afraid of! But it's not a bad time to fight here."

The most important thing now is to find the news of the divine object of heavenly punishment. As long as we can find a little information about the divine object, it will be a great opportunity. Everything else is unimportant.

Now the overall situation has been determined. If Ji Chen is not wrong, the unknown spiritual vine must have some connection with the divine object of heavenly punishment!

Thinking of this, Ji Chen ignored everyone, stepped on the ground, and his figure rushed out violently, heading towards the source-devouring vine.
