Chapter 189 - 189: 170: Respecting the Elderly and the Inevitable Death Game
The cave shook violently.
Like the sound of heavy artillery bombardment, it continued nonstop.
It went on for about a minute. Finally, the sound gradually subsided.
“Huff
Chen Sheng took a deep breath.
With a teeth-gnashing friction sound, his body gradually shrank back to its normal size.
Wisps of white mist rose from his skin, as if he was wearing white armor.
Sweat beads formed on his forehead as well.
He hadn’t experienced this kind of exhaustion in a long time.
The second stage of Xuanwu Transformation.
With his current physical Attribute, he could barely maintain it for about three minutes.
And it had been just over two minutes since the battle began.
If he didn’t exit the Xuanwu Transformation state soon, he would collapse from exhaustion.
Chen Sheng tried clenching his fist.
A strong sense of weakness immediately came from his arm.
Physical weakness was only part of it.
Mostly,
it was because his Strength Attribute suddenly dropped from over five hundred points to just over two hundred points.
Fortunately, as his Attribute continued to increase,
Chen Sheng could clearly feel his physical strength recovering rapidly.
It would take only a couple of minutes for him to return to his peak form.
With that,
Chen Sheng’s ears twitched slightly.
The roaring sound of the green airflow was still some distance away from the cave; it would probably take a while before it arrived.
When the airflow arrived, Chen Sheng would be able to follow it into the next cave.
His attention immediately fell on the stone wall in front of him.
Zhao Zhenfeng, who was originally embedded in the stone wall, had disappeared.
He had been reduced to a pool of pulp by Chen Sheng’s relentless assault over a minute.
In its place was a deep, twisted darkness, with occasional flickers of lightning specks.
In the previous battle,
it seemed that Chen Sheng had been attacking Zhao Zhenfeng without any resistance from start to finish.
But he knew,
although his Strength Attribute was several dozen points higher than Zhao Zhenfeng, it was far from enough to render Zhao Zhenfeng unable to resist.
It was only after Zhao Zhenfeng’s body was embedded in the stone wall that his actions seemed to have been greatly restricted, allowing Chen Sheng to suppress him continuously.
As a result,
Chen Sheng was very curious about this dark substance.
“What the hell is this?”
He looked at the writhing darkness in front of him, puzzled.
“It should be a protective layer to prevent the secret realm from being discovered, right?”
At that moment,
Shen Zi Ming’s voice sounded in his ear.
He had been hiding in the corner of the cave to avoid being swept away by the aftermath of the battle.
Now that the battle was over, he finally dared to come out.
While talking,
Shen Zi Ming appeared behind Chen Sheng.
With a push of his feet, he jumped onto Chen Sheng’s shoulder.
A flicker of shock flashed in the corner of his eyes as he looked at Chen Sheng.
Shen Zi Ming had known Chen Sheng since he first started practicing martial arts.
He still remembered that when he first saw Chen Sheng in action, the latter had to ambush a Hidden Energy Warrior and was almost killed.
Not to mention a Hidden Energy Warrior like the pig-faced man.
Shen Zi Ming had reason to believe,
even if there were a hundred Transformation Realm Fighters standing in front of Chen Sheng, they would probably not be enough for him to slap.
This progress was simply astounding.
Although Chen Sheng’s current strength was not rare in the Martial Arts
Association Headquarters of Kyoto, those people in Kyoto,
had started their cultivation before the Tide Rising Period and gained terrifying power with the help of abundant resources and technology.
And Chen Sheng’s situation…
Shen Zi Ming dared not ask further.
His progress had already far surpassed the limits of talent.
However, everyone had their own secrets.
If Chen Sheng didn’t reveal his, Shen Zi Ming wouldn’t pry.
As friends,
Shen Zi Ming was naturally happy to see Chen Sheng growing stronger.
“I’m not exactly sure either,” he said.
“From ancient times to the present, humans have fought against Heavenly People many times, and the methods of constructing the Sealed Land have greatly varied.”
“Some are crude, while others have layers of mechanisms.”
“This darkness might have been left behind by the human tribes who built the Sealed Land, as a means to prevent the Sealed Land from being discovered or destroyed.”
Looking at the darkness in front of him, Shen Zi Ming shared the information he knew.
“Is that so?”
Chen Sheng rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
As the two spoke, the sound of the green airflow grew closer.
This darkness was incredibly strange.
Without absolute confidence, Chen Sheng, curious as he was, didn’t dare to investigate further.
“Let’s focus on finding the Heavenly Person Seal first.”
With that,
Chen Sheng stepped back, preparing to follow the green airflow to the next cave as it arrived.
Splat!
But as Chen Sheng stepped back, weird sounds and sensations came from under his foot.
It was as if he had stepped on something viscous instead of a solid ground.
Before he could look down, in front of him, an abnormal change suddenly occurred.
Squeak—
Amid the hair-raising squirming sounds, the twisted darkness began to surge outwards, slowly spreading in all directions.
Chen Sheng’s face changed, and he quickly retreated.
The image of Zhao Zhenfeng being stuck by the darkness, unable to move, was still fresh in his mind.
He didn’t want to repeat Zhao Zhenfeng’s fate.
However, the squirming sound came from all directions.
Whoosh!
Both Chen Sheng and Shen Zi Ming felt a sense of foreboding in their hearts.
They both looked around at the same time.
Sure enough,
the surrounding rock walls, the ground beneath their feet, and even the ceiling occupied by stalactites were all affected..
