Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 496 Underground Gaze
After successfully pulling Zhao Bao out of the Reincarnation Embryo, Liang Jin prepared to use his hands to treat Zhao Bao.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Wen Hengrong, who was still being held in his other hand, and his eyes were instantly filled with disgust.

Go play somewhere else by yourself!

His tone was cold and impatient. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and threw Wen Hengrong towards the top of the cave as if he were throwing a useless stone.

Wen Hengrong flew through the air in an arc, her heart pounding in her throat.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. As soon as she touched the top of the cave, she hurriedly stretched out her hands and grabbed a stalactite tightly, which helped her regain her balance and let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, she had long been fed up with being dragged by the back of her collar like a chick; the humiliation and insecurity she felt had been suffocating her for a long time.

Liang Jin, however, had no time to pay attention to Wen Hengrong and quickly shifted all his attention back to Zhao Bao.

His gaze was solemn as he raised his hand and slapped Zhao Bao hard on the abdomen.

This palm strike contained just the right amount of internal force. The next moment, Zhao Bao's mouth opened wide, and a large amount of viscous liquid gushed out from his mouth and nose. The liquid carried a strange, fishy smell and spread through the air.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhao Bao then began to cough violently, each cough seeming as if he was trying to break free from some kind of restraint, the vomit splashing around him.

Seeing that he still had the strength to cough, Liang Jin's anxiety finally subsided a little.

He immediately took out the talisman water he had already prepared from his inventory and poured it into Zhao Bao's mouth.

As long as Zhao Bao is alive, and with the talisman water ingested, his life is basically saved.

really.

After drinking the talisman water, Zhao Bao gradually regained consciousness.

At this moment, Zhao Bao was extremely weak and exhausted. He barely managed to lift his head, glanced at Liang Jin with his dim and lifeless eyes, and then closed his eyes again, falling into a coma once more.

Although Zhao Bao had fallen into a coma, his heaving chest suggested that he was basically alright.

While talismanic water can cure physical ailments, it cannot completely cure mental fatigue or physical exhaustion and weakness.

At this moment, Zhao Bao fell into a coma again, which was because his body needed rest and was no longer related to illness.

the other side.

Shen Cangming stared blankly at the conjoined twins who had died in the Reincarnation Embryo. His aged face was filled with a mixture of shock, fear, and even helplessness.

His eyes were vacant, as if his soul had been ripped out.

There was a time when he thought the high priest had long since passed away.

But not long ago, when he stepped into this mysterious place, he was surprised to find that the high priest was not only still alive, but had also started the mysterious ritual of reincarnation.

At that moment, he seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness, and a blazing fire of hope ignited in his heart. He eagerly anticipated that after the High Priest's reincarnation was successful, he could lead him and the other members of his clan on a journey of revenge, making those who had brought annihilation to the Youhuan Clan pay for their blood debts.

But life is unpredictable, and in the blink of an eye, the high priest died.

And he died at the hands of his own people!
This cruel reality struck Shen Cangming's heart like a heavy hammer.

He was so angry that he trembled violently, like a leaf swept away by a gale, unable to control his emotions any longer.

He abruptly turned his head, glaring fiercely at Liang Jin, his eyes seemingly spitting fire, and roared:

"You actually caused the death of the High Priest!"

"You sinner of the Youhuan Clan! The one who truly deserves to die is you!"

Driven by rage, Shen Cangming once again swung his longsword high, the blade gleaming with a cold light, as if echoing the killing intent in his heart.

Judging from the chilling murderous aura emanating from him, he was truly determined to kill Liang Jin this time!

Seeing this, Liang Jin acted decisively, forcefully throwing the unconscious Zhao Bao towards Wen Hengrong at the top of the cave, while shouting loudly:

"Keep an eye on this person for me."

Zhao Bao's body swept through the air quickly, carrying a gust of wind.

Left with no other choice, Wen Hengrong could only free up one hand and, just as Zhao Bao was about to fly past her, precisely grab his collar and hold him firmly in her hand.

Fortunately, Wen Hengrong has now advanced to the fourth-rank martial artist, and her physical fitness and strength have improved significantly. She was able to hold the person in one hand and hold tightly to the stalactite with the other, barely maintaining her figure and preventing her from falling.

Shen Cangming's sword, like a thunderbolt, fell fiercely towards Liang Jin.

A massive sword aura instantly condensed, resembling a giant, materialized sword over ten zhang long, carrying a terrifying, world-destroying force. In the blink of an eye, it had already struck Liang Jin.

As the giant sword fell, immense power surged around Liang Jin with overwhelming force, like an invisible yet indestructible wall, imprisoning him tightly within.

Even before the giant sword had fully descended, the surrounding air trembled violently under its terrifying pressure, like a frightened bird, emitting a buzzing sound.

Seeing such a terrifying sword strike from above, Wen Hengrong couldn't help but gasp, her heart filled with trepidation.

"Is this the power of a third-grade martial artist?"

"Is there really anyone in this world who can withstand this sword strike?"

This was the first time in her life that Wen Hengrong had the opportunity to witness a third-rank martial artist unleash his full power. The overwhelming force was like divine power, making her feel so insignificant.

She felt that this sword strike, let alone killing a person, would probably easily cleave a towering mountain in the face of this power.

Surprisingly, Liang Jin showed no intention of dodging or trying to escape from that invisible prison.

His gaze was firm, his eyes fixed on Shen Cangming's giant sword, and then he slowly brought his fist back to his waist.

The moment the giant sword fell, Liang Jin suddenly threw a punch.

He actually chose to confront them head-on!

"call!!!"

As soon as Liang Jin threw the punch, a fierce wind instantly arose, as if his fist carried immense power, and the wind howled and swept around.

What was particularly shocking was that the scale-like patterns that had appeared on his entire arm began to emerge, densely covering the entire arm, as if it were covered with an indestructible armor.

Whenever these patterns appear, it means that the power of his Dragon Arm has been brought to its limit!
Liang Jin didn't hold back at all when he threw this punch.

Dragon Arm fully extended!

The Overlord's Armor Removal Technique is fully activated!

The Dawn Fist Intent was also fully unleashed!

As the punch was unleashed, the intent of the punch surged like a tidal wave, instantly filling the entire space and time. Even Wen Hengrong, who was high up, was shocked by the powerful intent of the punch.

This fist intent gave Wen Hengrong a strange illusion.

It was as if with Liang Jin's punch, the endless darkness in this vast grotto was about to vanish completely, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, and the dawn of light and hope was about to pierce through the gloom and illuminate the earth.

That unstoppable, indomitable spirit stirred a strange sense of confidence within Wen Hengrong.

Before this, Wen Hengrong always thought that Liang Jin was too young and inexperienced, and could never be a match for a senior like Shen Cangming who had been fighting in the martial arts world for many years.

However, the emotional impact of Liang Jin's punch, imbued with the spirit of dawn, caused Wen Hengrong to abandon rational judgment and completely believe that Liang Jin's punch would definitely break through Shen Cangming's sword!
Even Shen Cangming was startled by this sudden burst of fist intent, his expression changing drastically, and he cried out in disbelief:

"Fist intent?!"

"How is that possible? How old are you? How can you possibly condense fist intent?!"

Condensing martial intent is incredibly difficult; even someone as old as Shen Cangming hasn't achieved it.

It was unbelievable to Shen Cangming that Liang Jin, at such a young age, had already mastered the essence of boxing.

What shocked him even more was that, under Liang Jin's fist intent, Shen Cangming felt that no matter what he did, he could not withstand this punch!
His fighting spirit was quickly suppressed!
At this moment, Liang Jin's punch had been fully unleashed.

With Liang Jin's punch, powerful internal energy rapidly condensed into a giant fist in the air. The giant fist exuded a powerful aura, as if it would destroy the entire world.

At that moment, the giant fist, carrying earth-shattering power, struck the giant sword fiercely!

A head-on confrontation!

Break a sword with your fist!

"boom!!!!!!!!"

A terrifying power suddenly burst forth in this space-time, like a heavy bomb exploding in the cave.

Even though the grotto was vast and empty, it was shaken by this terrifying force, and the entire grotto resembled a dilapidated house teetering on the verge of collapse in a gale.

For a moment, the loud sound echoed back and forth in the cave, the sound reverberating as if it would shatter one's eardrums.

The stalactites on the cave ceiling were affected by this force and kept falling, plummeting into the endless depths below.

Shen Cangming's giant sword, formed from sword energy, was instantly shattered by Liang Jin's giant fist. The shattered sword energy roared around like a wild horse.

Wen Hengrong felt as if countless sword energies were surging like waves, rushing towards the stone walls and ceiling of the cave where she was.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

In a short moment, the stone walls and ceiling of the grotto looked as if they had been bombarded by countless machine guns, with clouds of dust rising and deep sword marks left on them.

Many stalactites were even sliced ​​off by the scattered sword energy, the cuts smooth and clean, as if they had been meticulously polished. Wen Hengrong was so startled that she broke out in a cold sweat, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

Fortunately, she was lucky; despite so many sword energies rushing towards her, not a single one landed on her.

Otherwise, with her strength at the newly entered fourth rank, she would have been unable to withstand the attack of this terrifying sword energy and would have been torn to shreds instantly.

The crisscrossing sword energy not only struck the stone walls and ceiling, but even the vine bridge made of blood vines over the huge cave was mercilessly affected by this terrifying sword energy.

"Shhhhh!"

The sharp sword energy, like sharp scissors, cut the vine bridge in two.

The startled blood vine seemed to sense a great threat, constantly opening its mouth and spewing out clouds of blood-red spores.

Fortunately, the air currents here are very strong. Amidst the howling winds, these surging and spreading clouds of blood-red spores were carried by the powerful air currents into the cave where the group had come from, and then surged outwards.

This prevented the highly toxic, blood-red spore cloud from rising to the top of the cave, thus protecting Wen Hengrong and Zhao Bao from harm.

Even after Liang Jin's giant fist shattered the massive sword energy, its momentum remained undiminished, continuing its attack towards Shen Cangming.

The enormous fist hurtled toward Shen Cangming with lightning speed, as if a giant hand were about to crush a tiny ant!
Upon seeing this, Shen Cangming was horrified, a fear he had never felt before welling up inside him, and he cried out:

"How could it be this strong?!"

Only now did he truly realize how terrifying Liang Jin was.

Now, relying on ordinary martial arts skills, it is clearly difficult to fight against Liang Jin.

Fortunately, Shen Cangming also possesses the secret techniques of the Youhuan Clan!

Shen Cangming's bones crackled and popped like firecrackers, causing a strange change in his body structure and unleashing the hidden power within his bloodline.

At this moment, thick layers of keratin rapidly grew on Shen Cangming's skin. These hard, protruding layers resembled tightly connected scales, as if his body was wearing a sturdy armor.

His muscles bulged rapidly at that moment, as if he were instantly filled with boundless power. He swung his longsword wildly, the blade slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

"Bone-Eating Dragon Vortex!"

With a roar from Shen Cangming, the longsword swirled rapidly, unleashing a surge of violent power.

At this moment, the boundless sword energy, carrying terrifying power, seemed to form a huge vortex in front of him. The vortex emitted a powerful suction force, as if it would pull everything around it in and tear it to shreds mercilessly.

Liang Jin's giant fist, carrying an unstoppable momentum, slammed into the vortex!

"Bang!!!!!!"

A terrifying force surged forth once more, causing the cave to tremble violently.

The enormous vortex finally shattered the giant fist at that moment!

But in the instant it was shattered, the huge vortex also collapsed with a roar, and the powerful force scattered in all directions, impacting everything around it.

Shen Cangming was closest to the epicenter of the explosion, and the powerful shockwave, like a surging wave, crashed heavily onto his body.

The immense force caused him to lose his balance and be blasted backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the rock wall.

"Bang!!!"

The rock face was smashed and most of it fell off, with a huge hole smashed in the middle.

Shen Cangming was also deeply involved, looking disheveled. His clothes were torn by the shockwave, revealing numerous wounds, with blood slowly flowing down from them.

Such immense power also jolted Wen Hengrong awake from the oppressive will of the Dawn Fist Intent.

She stared blankly at the large hole in the rock wall, feeling a sense of disorientation, as if she were in a dream.

It looks like...

Shen Cangming actually suffered a loss?!
And that's just one punch!

Liang Jin only threw one punch, while Shen Cangming used two moves to block it, but he was still knocked away.
This astonishing result left Wen Hengrong speechless for a moment; her mind went blank, and her eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

Meanwhile, Liang Jin's attack was far from over.

He had already keenly observed that although Shen Cangming was sent flying by the punch and looked extremely disheveled, he had not actually suffered any serious injury!

Shen Cangming also possesses a divine beast bloodline similar to Liang Jin's!
As a result, Shen Cangming's physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary martial artists!
But that's all!

Liang Jin is a 100% perfect fusion of divine beast essence and blood, and can be regarded as a flawless and perfect finished product.

Shen Cangming's fusion with the divine beast's bloodline is probably less than half complete; he's not even a defective product, just a rough, raw one.

Both appear to have scales covering their bodies and bulging muscles, making them seem quite similar.

But in reality, the two are completely different!

Shen Cangming's advantage might increase his chances of winning against martial artists of the same level.

But compared to Liang Jin, they are completely negligible!
Immediately, Liang Jin's aura surged, as if the air around him was ignited by his power, and he was about to throw another punch to deliver a fatal blow to Shen Cangming.

"Ok?"

He suddenly paused, because he had discovered something new.

As the aftershocks of the battle spread, the vine bridge broke, and the Reincarnation Embryo, which had been entangled by the blood vines, fell out like a boulder, plummeting into the endless abyss below.

The Reincarnation Embryo fell at an extremely fast speed and was quickly swallowed by the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Liang Jin immediately and decisively abandoned the fight, quickly activating the "Wind and Shadow Steps" technique.

"call--!!!"

A fierce wind howled, and Liang Jin seemed to become one with the wind, rushing towards the rapidly falling Reincarnation Embryo like lightning.

Shen Cangming once said that even Emperor Zhao Wuji, the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, longed for this item, so it must be an extremely precious treasure.

Liang Jin had no intention of giving up on this thing easily; he was determined to get his hands on it.

The Reincarnation Embryo descended very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it had already penetrated deep into that huge hole.

Liang Jin flew even faster, and with his superb lightness skill, he quickly arrived near the Reincarnation Embryo.

Immediately, Liang Jin stretched out his hand, and his vast internal energy, like a surging tide, instantly enveloped the Reincarnation Embryo and quickly pulled it towards him.

At this moment, Liang Jin had already gone deep into the huge cave.

All around was an intense, almost tangible darkness that pressed down on one's nerves.

The opening above can only be seen when you look up.

Countless stalactites, blood vines, and various other debris, shattered by the sword energy, fell from the cave entrance like raindrops, whistling through the air, passing by Liang Jin before plunging into the endless darkness below and disappearing without a trace.

In such a vast, dark, damp, cold, and empty environment, an individual appears so small.

After Liang Jin grabbed the Reincarnation Embryo, he immediately had a thought, and the Reincarnation Embryo disappeared instantly.

He has already added this reincarnation embryo to his inventory.

This also proves that the conjoined twins in the Reincarnation Embryo are indeed dead; only inanimate objects can be added to the [Item Inventory].

After obtaining the Reincarnation Embryo, Liang Jin immediately flew towards the top of the giant hole.

Sudden--

A sudden thought struck Liang Jin, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.

He felt a strange sensation, as if he were being watched closely by an invisible eye.

This made him suddenly turn his head and look into the huge hole in the ground.

He can now see in the dark and has extremely sharp eyesight, but even so, he still can't see the end of the cave.

Just like this cave... it is infinitely deep and endlessly dark, hiding countless unknown and terrifying secrets.

What gave Liang Jin a strange feeling was like... being watched!
Martial artists who have reached Liang Jin's level can feel something as long as they are being watched.

At that moment, Liang Jin felt as if someone was looking at him from the endless depths of the earth.

Do not!
It might not be a person!

It's very likely... something else!

A little-known behemoth!

But Liang Jin couldn't see the thing clearly either. It seemed to be in the deepest part of this underground cave, a place beyond the reach of ordinary human eyesight.

He only felt that thing glance at him.

Just one glance sent a chill down Liang Jin's spine, making his hair stand on end.

Without hesitation, Liang Jin turned around and flew towards the giant hole above.

He didn't know if the thing at the bottom of the Kui Abyss would come out. If it did, it would be something that Liang Jin couldn't handle!
