Chapter 1813: Chen Ling... Long Time No See
This was the first God Path Ancient Armory Chen Ling had stepped into, and it was also the place where he first met Jian Changsheng.
Chen Ling had thought that with his calamity body, there would never be another day he would step into another God Path Ancient Armory. He didn't expect that at this very moment, he would actually enter again in this way...
Fate was truly unexpected.
Chen Ling didn't go to find those ten-person pits to fight and train like the others. After everyone had basically scattered, he walked alone, heading straight in one direction.
His figure turned continuously through the rugged terrain, skillfully avoiding the patrol routes of all the killing-intent figures. It wasn't Chen Ling’s first time in the Ancient Armory; he knew which way to go to bypass those troublesome killing-intent projections...
In the end, his current body was just an ordinary person; if a fight broke out, he would probably really die here.
Chen Ling walked all the way until a towering sign stood on the earth.
—Trial Boundary, No Further Advancement.
Chen Ling ignored it directly.
Ten-person pit, hundred-person pit, thousand-person pit, ten-thousand-person pit...
The deeper he went, the lower the temperature became. The cold killing intent felt like fine needles, constantly pricking the surface of his skin, making his whole body uncomfortable.
According to Liu Qingyan’s intelligence, that person saw Jian Changsheng at the million-person pit, and the million-person pit should be in the deepest part of the Ancient Armory... Even Chen Ling hadn't walked this deep last time.
"Have I reached the hundred-thousand-person pit..." Chen Ling’s gaze swept across the surroundings,
"Walk a little further in, and I should be there."
At this point, the route in Chen Ling’s memory was exhausted; he could only rely on his intuition to continue walking into the depths of the Ancient Armory.
But the further in he went, the richer the killing intent became. Chen Ling could even feel this body starting to tremble. Every step consumed a great deal of energy, and his pace became heavy, as if he were in a quagmire.
Just then, a whistling sound of breaking air came from behind!
Chen Ling was startled. Relying on the combat instincts in his memory, he lunged forward without hesitation... A cold chill grazed the back of his head.
The teenager fell to the ground in a disheveled manner and immediately looked back. A tall killing-intent projection was holding a long sword, standing behind him. The blade emitted a cold light in the dimness. If Chen Ling’s movement had been half a second slower, the teenager would likely have been beheaded on the spot.
Oh no, was I discovered by these killing-intent projections?
This thought flashed through Chen Ling’s mind, his gaze extremely grave. This location was already close to the million-person pit, and the distribution of killing-intent projections was extremely dense. A moment of carelessness would lead to discovery.
Chen Ling didn't linger in the fight but turned and ran immediately. The combat power of the killing-intent projections at this location was not comparable to those on the periphery; crushing an ordinary person was truly easy.
But the killing-intent projection behind him didn't seem to intend to let him go, holding the long sword and chasing him at high speed!
The teenager’s physical fitness wasn't strong, so Chen Ling could only rely on his agility to weave through the narrow rock crevices, barely avoiding the attacks of the killing-intent projection’s blades.
But the commotion of the killing-intent projection’s pursuit was too great. More and more killing-intent projections were attracted by the sound and gathered here, leaving less and less space for Chen Ling to escape...
And at this moment, in the reflection of Chen Ling’s pupils, a massive deep pit was gradually approaching before his eyes.
*Clang—*
Two more killing-intent projections rushed over from both sides, drawing their swords.
These two killing-intent projections, along with the many figures chasing him from behind, had completely blocked his retreat. His brain worked at high speed, and gritting his teeth, he leaped forward with all his might!
His figure flew past, almost grazing the two long swords, and he rolled directly along the edge of the inclined deep pit, billowing dust rising into the air.
Because this deep pit was too large and the slope was quite long, Chen Ling rolled for a long time and couldn't reach the bottom even after he was covered in bruises. Instead, the few killing-intent projections outside the deep pit also jumped down carrying their swords, their feet stepping on the dust as they constantly approached Chen Ling.
Chen Ling looked down and saw that the killing-intent projections in this million-person pit, dense like stone figurines, also seemed to sense his approach and turned their heads suddenly. A million gazes converged on Chen Ling alone...
That heaven-shaking killing intent, which had almost condensed into substance, soared into the sky from the deep pit!
A million killing intents in front, long-sword pursuers behind;
The teenager rolled down the slope like a stone, looking like he was about to fall into the killing intent and be shredded into pieces, but instead of despair, a faint light flickered in Chen Ling’s eyes!
He took a deep breath and shouted with all his might:
"—SPADE!!!"
*Ding—*
A pitch-black sword aura swept across the earth in an instant.
The ancient killing intent of the eighth-rank peak, like a crescent moon passing by like a ghost, directly filled the entire million-person deep pit... Chen Ling’s ordinary body felt the hair on his entire body stand on end, and a suffocating sense of oppression enveloped his whole body!
At this moment, every muscle in Chen Ling’s body was trembling due to the pressure emitted by this sword.
At the same time, the million restless killing-intent projections in the deep pit suddenly stalled.
Neat sword marks appeared silently on their necks.
Amidst a slight rustling sound, their bodies, condensed from killing intent, disintegrated rapidly, drifting into the void like black smoke... Millions of black shadows gathered together, almost dyeing the entire sky pitch black.
It wasn't just the million killing-intent projections before Chen Ling; even the few killing-intent projections chasing him from behind were beheaded at the same time. Only Chen Ling had no sword marks on his body, as if the sword aura had deliberately bypassed him.
*Woo-woo-woo—*
The wailing cold wind whistled in the deep pit, gradually dispersing the thick black smoke of killing intent.
Chen Ling coughed while staggering to his feet, looking in the direction from which the sword had been swung... Amidst the drifting dust, black ribbons flew silently, and a young figure in armor held a sword in one hand, walking slowly toward here.
Seeing that familiar figure, a smile appeared on Chen Ling’s face involuntarily.
"Finally..."
"Found you."
Chen Ling looked at the figure, countless questions surging in his heart. He immediately spoke, "Spade, for so many years, you actually..."
*Ding—!*
Before Chen Ling could finish his sentence,
A sword edge flashing with chilling cold light, carrying a suffocating and terrifying killing intent, pressed against Chen Ling’s throat!
Chen Ling was still open-mouthed, his whole body suddenly stiffening... He looked at the familiar yet slightly strange face before him, his pupils contracting slightly.
"I thought it was some fool who didn't know life from death and took the wrong path... so it was you..." The figure’s pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold voice echoed in Chen Ling’s ears,
"Chen Ling..."
"Truly... long time no see."
