Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, four hours had passed since entering the Azure Wind Secret Realm. While Ren Pingsheng was entangled in a battle with the Black Serpent, integrating the Movement Technique, the other disciples from the Three Factions experienced their own fortunes.
For instance, Wu Zhi Dao from the Yunxing Sect was engaged in a fierce fight with a high-level Fierce Beast. The scene was incredibly intense. Not far from the Fierce Beast lay a Fire-red Spirit Grass with three petal-like leaves. It appeared crystal clear, and various radiant phenomena occasionally rose in the surroundings, indicating it was no ordinary item.
Meanwhile, Zheng Long from the Azure Wind Sword Sect was healing in a cave. Not far in front of him lay the corpse of a high-level Fierce Beast, with a fist-sized hole in its forehead and blood pooling around it.
Wu Yang from the Tiger Howl Sect was being hunted by two high-level Fierce Beasts. He had a wound on his chest, suggesting that his protective armor had failed to block the attack. However, he held a walnut-sized Spiritual Fruit in his hand, its fragrance detectable from afar. It was unclear if he had snatched it from the two Fierce Beasts.
Others had varying experiences as well. Some disciples fought alone, while others gathered in small groups. Disciples from different sects encountered each other cautiously avoiding conflict, while some engaged in fierce battles over treasures.
In just half a day's time, the Azure Wind Secret Realm had erupted into chaos and bloodshed, brought about by both the Fierce Beasts and the disciples from various factions.
“Die!” A thunderous shout echoed like thunder. Sword light burst forth as blood splattered. The anguished roar of the Fierce Beast abruptly ceased mid-sound. A figure crashed heavily to the ground, lifeless.
“Brother Chen's Sword Technique is getting more impressive; even among the top three Inner Sect Disciples, he holds his own,” Qian Xin remarked nearby.
“Hmph, it was just an ordinary high-level Fierce Beast. As for those top three Inner Sect Disciples, I will defeat them sooner or later,” Chen Kai said as he flicked off droplets of blood from his sword, performing several flourishes before sheathing it. His expression was cold and disdainful towards those three.
“Brother Chen's talent is well-known within our sect. It’s only a matter of time before he surpasses them. I believe we will definitely acquire some useful treasures in this secret realm. Once we exit, our strength will surely see significant improvement.”
“Hehe… The more treasures we gather, the better. Whether from Fierce Beasts or humans, we shouldn’t let anything slip by. Let’s go; there’s nothing useful on this high-level Fierce Beast.”
“By the way, Elder Zhao instructed us to kill that disciple named Ren Pingsheng from Azure Wind Sword Sect. I wonder what Brother Chen thinks about that?” Qian Xin asked while keeping an eye on their surroundings.
“I heard you’ve encountered this guy before; how strong is he? Is he really as formidable as rumored?” A murderous glint flashed across Chen Kai's face at the mention of anyone stronger than him.
“Haha, his strength is indeed impressive. Wu Yang was defeated by him; within our sect, his power ranks at least in the top five or even higher. Even among the top three…” He intentionally elevated Ren Pingsheng's prowess at the end of his statement, fully aware of the jealousy that brewed in those around him.
"Well... I'm interested in this person now. Even if it's just for those Reward, I have to take him down this time. Besides, with such impressive strength, he must have collected quite a few Spiritual Medicine Treasures, which is a win-win situation."
Unfortunately, if he knew about Ren Pingsheng's experiences since entering the Azure Wind Secret Realm, he wouldn't think that way. Spiritual Medicine Treasures are not something that can be easily obtained; it also depends on luck.
Not only him, but other disciples of the Tiger Howl Sect were also eyeing Ren Pingsheng. That Zhao Jingshan was particularly ruthless, offering an Advanced Swordsmanship book, a High-Level Body Technique book, plus a bottle of ten Rising Qi Pills as a Reward, which was enough to tempt these Inner Sect Disciples.
It's a pity he couldn't come here; otherwise, judging by his performance that day, he would have rushed over and torn Ren Pingsheng to pieces. Unfortunately, this is the Azure Wind Sword Sect, and even though he is a powerful Warrior Strongman, here he might not even be able to make a splash.
"Hey, let me ask you something. Have you seen Ren Pingsheng?" In a forest, two teams encountered each other. One team of three was from the Tiger Howl Sect, while the two opposite were disciples of the Azure Wind Sword Sect.
"Damn it, who do you think you are? Why should we tell you?" The two from the Azure Wind Sword Sect naturally didn't have a good attitude toward disciples from other sects.
"Hmph, asking you is showing respect. If you refuse to drink the wine offered and instead drink the punishment wine, your disciples from the Azure Wind Sword Sect are indeed despicable, just like that previous guy. It seems you won't speak until you've been tortured."
"How dare you attack disciples of our Azure Wind Sword Sect! Seeking death!" The two reacted fiercely, and with confidence in their own strength, they attacked without any warning.
"Overestimating yourselves; let's deal with you first and then let you know my power." The three disciples from the Tiger Howl Sect sneered dismissively while their hands moved skillfully.
"Ah!" One disciple from the Azure Wind Sword Sect, surrounded by two opponents, held on for over ten breaths before being severely injured by a sword thrust, lying on the ground without any strength to fight back.
"You beasts from the Tiger Howl Sect, I'll fight you to the end!" Another disciple from the Azure Wind Sword Sect, seeing his friend injured, was filled with rage and fought desperately. He forced his opponents to roar in frustration but was helpless against them.
"Kid, if you don't want him dead, you'd better stop immediately. Otherwise, his arm will be lost first, then his thigh, and then..." The other two disciples from the Tiger Howl Sect, holding their swords, gestured menacingly from a distance with cruel smiles on their faces as if they were enjoying this pleasure.
"You... fine! Let him go; just ask me anything."
"Heh heh, it would have been much easier if you'd done this earlier. Your sect has someone called Ren Pingsheng, but I've never seen him."
"No, we haven't encountered anyone else."
"Oh, you better tell the truth. I'm really afraid that I might accidentally strike him with my sword."
"I swear I've never seen him. You've got the wrong person, let my friend go."
"You really are foolish. Since he’s of no use, just kill him! What a waste of time." The three laughed mockingly.
"You beasts, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost." The disciple of Azure Wind Sword Sect raised his sword in anger, looking desperate.
"Foolish thing, thinking you can take on three of us. Once we kill you, we'll go after Ren Pingsheng. By then..."
Before the three could finish their sentence, a voice came from all directions.
"Are you... looking for me?"
"Who dares to act so mysteriously in front of us?" The three looked around in surprise, on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Oh, I thought it was someone powerful. Turns out you're just some small fries." As the words were spoken, a figure appeared before them. He stood there quietly; no one saw how he had arrived, as if he had always been there.
This person was none other than Ren Pingsheng, who had previously faced Black Serpent in battle. Under the pressure and training from Black Serpent, he spent three hours dodging thousands of attacks and merging techniques. Finally, he managed to combine two Movement Techniques.
The new Movement Technique not only possessed unparalleled speed but could also create numerous illusions at any time and place to confuse enemies. What delighted him even more was that he inadvertently incorporated the shadow-following effect of the Phantom Moon Movement Technique into it. He could now blend into or teleport to any shadow within a thirty-zhang radius, leaving no trace behind.
It was with this new Movement Technique that he escaped from Black Serpent. He named this innovative technique Phantom Trace. What he had just used was the shadow-following effect, appearing silently and without a sound.
"You... are Ren Pingsheng?" The three couldn't help but ask upon seeing the person in the arena. Their tone was filled with excitement, their eyes burning with desire as they looked at Ren Pingsheng like he was a rare treasure.
"It seems you don't recognize me. Why are you looking for me? Tell me your reason."
"Hehe, if you want to know the reason, you'd better think about saving your life first. It's truly a stroke of luck to find you without any effort." The enticing reward had already made them forget their initial fear.
"Oh, what a pity for the three lives. Since you are unwilling to speak..."
Ren Pingsheng smiled lightly and vanished without a trace. In the astonished eyes of the two from the Azure Wind Sword Sect, he appeared behind three disciples of the Tiger Howl Sect. A flash of Sword Light swept through, and two of the disciples fell to the ground, bewildered, already lifeless.
His figure reappeared in the original spot; this series of fluid movements took less than a breath's time. If it weren't for the two corpses lying there, no one would believe he had just made a move.
"Now you can speak," he said, a smile curling at his lips that now seemed filled with sinister charm, like that of the Grim Reaper.
"Demon... demon, you are a demon, don't come any closer..." One person, terrified by the inexplicable deaths of his companions, waved his sword frantically, his pupils dilated as he appeared to be driven mad by fear.
Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly; the shadowy effect was indeed a surprise attack that could turn the tide. However, he hadn't expected that a disciple of the Tiger Howl Sect would be scared to madness, cutting off any leads.
"The belongings of these three will be yours," he glanced at the two from Azure Wind Sword Sect before his figure silently dissipated into the wind.
"That was Ren Shixiong; what terrifying strength," one of them said hoarsely as they swallowed hard.
"When I had the fortune to meet him during a duel with a disciple from Tiger Howl Sect, it was indeed Ren Shixiong. But this strength... is he really at the same Refining Qi Ninth Layer cultivation level as us? It feels like one is in heaven and the other in earth; there's simply no comparison!"
"Forget it, let's clean up and leave quickly. If we encounter others, we could be in danger." The two stopped contemplating their disparity in strength and quickly looted everything from the three before hastily departing.
The three lifeless bodies were soon devoured clean by Fierce Beasts drawn by the scent of blood.
