God Emperor - Chapter 160

Chapter 160

Deputy Headmaster Qing Hua dispersed the light surrounding her body and once again became an old lady in her eighties or nineties .

"There are many extraordinarily powerful savage beasts in Omen Ridge . Some of them are so powerful that even I must flee when I encounter them . " She said to the 10 young students on the Lion-vulture .

"The farther you get, the stronger the savage beasts become . If you enter Omen Ridge for practice in the future, please remember to not go too far . There are many forbidden zones . "

The Lion-vulture flapped its wings and continued its flight towards Chikong Secret Mansion .

After half a day they arrived at a wasteland .

It was said that this place was turned into a barren wasteland during the war between the Human Army and the Four-winged Earth Dragon .

Below them there was an enormous canyon, a thousand meters long and 200 meters wide . The bottomless canyon plummeted straight down and made the earth seem as though it had a mouth which could devour everything in the world .

Standing beside the canyon looking down into the darkness they could only see wisps of black miasma wafting up .

There were narrow stone ladders carved into the edge of the canyon which led straight down to the darkness .

It was said that Chikong Secret Mansion could be found there, where the Four-winged Earth Dragon had once lived .

When Deputy Headmaster led the 10 students from Western Campus to the canyon, the students from the other three campuses had already arrived .

Deputy Headmaster of Eastern Campus sneered and said, "Deputy Headmaster Qing Hua, you are very late . We have been waiting for a long time!"

Deputy Headmaster Qing Hua hobbled with her wooden wand and replied, "We met a Profound Dragon on our way here, so it took us a little longer . "

"According to our old rules, the order of entering the middle-level heritage is dependant on the order of arrival . So you will be the fourth to enter," said Deputy Headmaster of Eastern Campus .

"No problem!" Deputy Headmaster Qing Hua replied .

The students from Eastern Campus were the first to arrive, so the 10th student of Eastern Campus would be the first to enter .

That student was Dugu Lin .

Dugu Lin stepped onto the stone ladders, performed a technique and dashed into the canyon .

Three minutes later Dugu Lin could not be seen from the edge of the canyon .

Next, the 10th student of Nothern Campus entered the canyon and rushed into the depths below .

Then the 10th student of Southern Campus entered .

After the 10th student of Southern Campus disappeared underground, the 10th student of Western Campus, Zi Qian, started to walk forward .

The students who participated in the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test must enter into the cavern one by one . The students of the lower rankings would enter first followed by the students of the higher rankings .

This prevented the students from killing each other .

The students of the lower realm could go deep into Chikong Secret Mansion or hide somewhere after entering .

If the students of the higher realms entered first they would wait at the entrance and kill all the students of the lower realms that came in after them .

Standing among the students from Eastern Campus, Xun Guihai stared at Zhang Ruochen coldly . He didn't even try to hide his hatred and anger . He thought to himself, "Zhang Ruochen, it doesn't really matter whether you are engaged to Commandery Princess Yanchen or not . If you die here, she will be mine . "

He glanced at Guo Haidong, the fifth student of Eastern Campus who was standing beside him . He murmured, "Guo Haidong, you will enter Chikong Secret Mansion before Zhang Ruochen, so you can wait for him in the cavern . Once he enters the Mansion, you must kill him at any cost . "

Guo Haidong accepted Xun Guihai's five drops of Half-Saint's Essence and agreed to kill Zhang Ruochen for him .

Guo Haidong smiled confidently and replied, "My elder brother Xun, I am the 874th master on the Profound Board . I can kill him without even breaking a sweat . "

Xun Guihai said seriously, "Don't underestimate the enemy .  Zhang Ruochen's realm may be lower than yours, but his Sword Comprehension has already achieved the Peak of the Sword Following the Heart . If you find yourself to be inferior to him, just stall for time .  Lang Xin will be there very soon . Then you can both attack him from either side and he will have no escape!"

Xun Guihai glanced at Lang Xin beside him .

Lang Xin nodded and said, "Zhang Ruochen dares to steal elder brother Xun's woman, he has obviously set himself against the whole Eastern Campus . "

Lang Xin was fourth of Eastern Campus and ranked 580th on the Profound Board .

Staring at the students from Eastern Campus, Duanmu Xingling squinted her eyes and reminded Zhang Ruochen . "You must be careful of Guo Haidong and Lang Xin from Eastern Campus after entering Chikong Secret Mansion . They are both Warriors of the Division Profound . One of them enters the Mansion before you, while the other one enters behind you . If they attack you together, you will find it hard to even run away . "

Zhang Ruochen looked over following Duanmu Xingling's eyes, saw the two young students beside Xun Guihai and memorized their faces . He said, "Entering Chikong Secret Mansion can be very dangerous . Senior sister apprentice Duanmu, you must be careful as well . "

Guo Haidong, who was the fifth of Eastern Campus, started to walk towards the canyon . Before entering he glanced at Zhang Ruochen and sneered cruelly .

Shortly after, the fifth students from Nothern Campus and Southern Campus also entered the canyon one by one . Finally, it was Zhang Ruochen's turn .

He felt a little dizzy when he approached the edge of the canyon . That was a sign of being poisoned .

It was the miasma . Fortunately, he took the Anti-Poison Pearl with him which blocked most of the miasma . Otherwise, one breath of it might cause him to faint .

Zhang Ruochen transferred his Pure Jade Genuine Qi and started to circulate it through his Meridians . Doing so purified the poison in his body and he recovered immediately .

He then performed Shadow of the Royal Wind Dragon and dashed towards the cavern as fast as he could .

He only had three minutes to get as far away as he could, then Lang Xin, the fourth student of Eastern Campus, would enter the cavern and chase after him .

If the fifth student of Eastern Campus, Guo Haidong, really was waiting for him in the cavern he had to defeat him in under three minutes . Otherwise, it would be very difficult to face converging attacks from two Warriors of the Division Profound .

Although Zhang Ruochen was confident he could defeat them, he couldn't ensure that they didn't have any hidden weapons with them .

Things could get very complicated in Chikong Secret Mansion because there were no rules .

The canyon was so deep that Zhang Ruochen still hadn't reached the bottom after dashing for over a thousand meters .

The cavern was pitch black .

Zhang Ruochen looked up . The canyon was thousands of meters deep and the entrance looked as small as the eye of a needle, glowing with white light . It was like a small white crack in the dark night sky .

He felt as though he had been devoured by the earth and would never see the sun again .

If he had had a weaker mind, he would have felt very frightened and may have even passed out .

He looked down . A splash of maroon and a wave of heat appeared in the depths of the cavern .

It would be very tormenting indeed for the devils and heretics if they were really being kept here .

He transferred the Genuine Qi to his eyes and kept looking down into the cavern . The air grew ever warmer and the rocks were burning hot .

Fortunately, he had already bought an Icy Spirit . With it around his neck, he didn't feel warm at all . On the contrary, he felt rather cool .

Zhang Ruochen had no idea how deep he had gone . Finally, he reached the bottom and stood before a giant stone gate .

The stone gate was 130 meters high and 27 meters wide . The dark steel inlaid on the surface formed the shape of a dragon .

Nobody knew how heavy it was, but the giant gate stood open two meters .

He placed his hand on the gate, transferred all of his Genuine Qi and pushed as hard as he could .

But the gate didn't budge .

"The gate is too heavy! Perhaps only a master of the Heaven Realm can open it . "

He stared in front of the two-meter opening and contemplated what to do next .

"Time and Space Domain!"

He released the Time and Space Domain which covered over 640 square meters around him . By using the power of the Time and Space Domain he would be able to detect if Guo Haidong was hiding behind the stone gate .

He soon sensed his presence in the Time and Space Domain .

Zhang Ruochen pulled the Snow Dragon Sword out and walked towards the stone gate .

"Boom!"

The moment he stepped inside a red spear stabbed at his back with a wave of fire .

But he was ready for it . He jumped off the ground and avoided the attack easily .

He jumped five meters in the air and thrust his sword towards Guo Haidong's neck .

Guo Haidong felt a coldness on his neck, his attack failed and he withdrew his spear quickly . He stepped back as fast as he could and narrowly escaped .

Guo Haidong was a little shocked . "How could Zhang Ruochen possibly know I was hiding behind the stone gate?" He thought to himself .

Zhang Ruochen put his Snow Dragon Sword back in its sheath, glanced at Guo Haidong and said, "That was a warning . I won't hold back if you attempt to kill me again!"

Holding his lance, Guo Haidong calmed down . He recalled what Xun Guihai had told him . If he was no match for Zhang Ruochen then he should stall for time and wait for Lang Xin . With their combined power they would surely kill Zhang Ruochen .

Guo Haidong smiled slightly, bowed his hands and said, "You are indeed the No . 1 freshman . I admire your martial cultivation . I was merely trying to test your cultivation, not kill you . "

Of course, Zhang Ruochen could tell Guo Haidong's true intentions . He replied, "If you still want to kill me, I can promise that you won't leave Chikong Secret Mansion alive . "

Seeing Zhang Ruochen's demeanor, he stopped smiling . Although he was afraid of Zhang Ruochen's sword technique, he also had a trump card . Even if he could not defeat Zhang Ruochen by himself, as long as he could stall for time he would kill Zhang Ruochen eventually .
