I Have the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye in the Storm Riders

Duan Lang's voice was somewhat low, carrying a hint of barely concealed apprehension. "My father disappeared here back then. Although I was young at the time, I still remember the resolute look in his eyes before he left. This cave is definitely more than just a place with complex terrain."

He took a deep breath and turned to look at Jiang Chen: "You stay outside and keep watch, I'll go in alone."

"You're alone?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. "Brother Lang, are you looking down on me?"

"It's not that I look down on you." Duan Lang shook his head. "Your martial arts are indeed good, but the things in this cave... are really dangerous. In case of any accidents, it'll be good to have someone to look after you outside."

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Chen suddenly burst into laughter, patting Duan Lang on the shoulder. "Brother Lang, have you forgotten something?"

"What?" Duan Lang was taken aback.

"My lightness skill!" Jiang Chen pointed to his legs, saying confidently, "Don't forget, I'm the kind of person who can escape from Xiong Ba's clutches! When it comes to escaping, if I say I'm second, no one in the world dares to say they're first! Even if there's something truly terrifying in this cave, if I can't beat them, can't I at least outrun them?"

Duan Lang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Then he laughed too.

Yes, how could he forget that?

Jiang Chen's lightness skill is so good that even Xiong Ba couldn't catch him; it's practically a divine skill for escaping.

"Alright!" Duan Lang stopped insisting and nodded. "Since you're so confident, let's go in together! But be careful, and don't overexert yourself."

"Don't worry." Jiang Chen grinned. "I'm terrified of death, I'd definitely value my life more than you do."

Without further hesitation, the two walked side by side into Lingyun Cave.

As soon as you enter the cave, a cold wind blows in, carrying a faint smell of sulfur.

The cave was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Duan Lang took out a tinderbox from his pocket and lit the torch that had been prepared beforehand.

The faint firelight flickered in the darkness, casting long shadows of the two men onto the uneven stone wall, making them appear particularly menacing.

"Tap, tap, tap..." Only the sound of two footsteps echoed in the empty cave.

It was eerily quiet here, like a deathly silent world, where not even the chirping of insects or birds could be heard.

The further they went in, the more solemn Duan Lang's expression became.

He could feel an invisible pressure coming from the depths of the cave, making his heart race and his breathing become rapid.

It is a throbbing sensation deep within one's blood, and also a fear of the unknown.

"Brother Lang, relax." Jiang Chen seemed to sense Duan Lang's tension and said softly, "I'm here for you."

Duan Lang nodded, but his grip on the torch tightened involuntarily.

The two walked along the winding path for an unknown amount of time before three forks in the road suddenly appeared ahead.

On the stone wall at the fork in the road, there was a long sword that was entirely crimson!

"Fire Kirin Sword!"

Duan Lang exclaimed in surprise, his fear instantly replaced by ecstasy.

He rushed forward, his hands trembling as he touched the familiar hilt of the sword.

That was his father's sword!

It is also an honor for his family to break off their marriage!

"Finally... I've finally found you!" Duan Lang took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and pulled hard.

Clang!

A crisp sword cry echoed throughout the cave.

A crimson sword light flashed, illuminating Duan Lang's face, which was contorted with excitement.

A sinister aura emanated from the blade, as if it craved the nourishment of blood.

"What a fine sword!" Duan Lang exclaimed, swinging it around a few times with obvious delight.

With this sword, coupled with his Blazing Sun Sword Technique, his strength will surge once again!

"Jiang Chen, let's go!" Duan Lang turned to Jiang Chen and said, "We have the sword; we shouldn't stay here any longer."

However, he found that Jiang Chen did not move.

Jiang Chen was standing at a crossroads, his gaze fixed on the unfathomable darkness, as if something was drawing him in.

That's the direction leading to the Fire Qilin's Nest.

It is also a place where blood bodhi grows.

"Jiang Chen?" Duan Lang's heart tightened. He quickly went to Jiang Chen's side and whispered, "What are you looking at? Stop looking and let's go! I have a feeling something in here is watching us. It's too dangerous!"

Jiang Chen snapped out of his daze, glanced at Duan Lang, whose face was full of anxiety, and then at the deep cave entrance.

He hesitated.

Should we go in?

"The Top Ten Martial Arts..."

Jiang Chen silently recited the name in his heart.

That was the peerless martial arts left behind by Wu Wudi, which included ten martial arts styles: knife, spear, sword, halberd, staff, fist, palm, leg, claw, and finger, and was known as "Invincible in All Directions".

Although the murals only depict martial arts moves, they do not include the internal energy cultivation method, "Xuanwu True Skill".

But for him, who possesses the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, this is not a problem at all!

As long as he can see the moves, he can deduce their essence.

As for internal energy cultivation...

"I possess the Sacred Sun Sword Technique, whose internal energy is inexhaustible, supremely yang and powerful. If I could deduce the moves of these ten strongest martial arts, and combine them with my Sacred Sun internal energy, I would be absolutely invincible!"

Thinking of this, the hesitation in Jiang Chen's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a determined light.

Fortune favors the bold!

Now that we're here, how can we leave empty-handed?

"Brother Lang," Jiang Chen suddenly spoke, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, "Do you trust me?"

"What?" Duan Lang was taken aback, somewhat confused.

"I don't know why..."

Jiang Chen pointed to the pitch-black depths, his expression turning grave. "I sense an extremely peculiar fluctuation. I can't quite put my finger on it, but my intuition tells me that if we just leave like this, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives. Brother Lang, do you dare to take this gamble with me?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Lang's pupils suddenly contracted.

Regret for the rest of your life?

Looking into Jiang Chen's serious eyes, the fear in his heart inexplicably dissipated, replaced by an irrepressible curiosity and ambition.

"Why wouldn't I dare!" Duan Lang gritted his teeth, gripping the Fire Kirin Sword tightly. "Since you dare to go, how could I, Duan Lang, be a coward who fears death!"

"Okay!" Jiang Chen nodded.

The next moment, golden light flowed deep within his eyes, and his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye was fully activated!

In an instant, the darkness before my eyes seemed to turn transparent.

Our gaze travels through layers of rock walls, extending into the depths of the cave.

Soon, he saw the sleeping fire qilin.

Deeper into the cave where the Fire Qilin was located, there were two faint auras.

There are two people!

They sat cross-legged before a dragon bone that emitted a faint golden light, like two statues, guarding the dragon vein behind them.

"Nie Renwang... Duan Shuai..."

However, Jiang Chen's target was not them, nor did he want to provoke the irritable fire qilin right now.

He avoided the area where the fire qilin was and began searching the surrounding side paths.

The two wandered through the maze-like cave, as if Jiang Chen had been there before and knew the terrain like the back of his hand.

Along the way, they skillfully avoided several dangerous places, and even heard the snoring of the fire qilin clearly, which frightened Duan Lang so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Finally, after passing through a narrow gap, the view suddenly opened up.

This is a huge natural cave, hundreds of feet wide.

On the stone wall in the very center of the cave, by the dim light of the torch, one can clearly see that it is covered with countless human-shaped murals.

"This is..." Duan Lang held up the torch and took a closer look. His eyes widened and he gasped.

"What exquisite moves!" Although he only understood a part of the sword technique, even this part made him feel that it was countless times more profound than his own Eclipse Sword Technique!

Jiang Chen looked at the murals covering the walls, his eyes gleaming with golden light, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"The top ten martial arts... I've finally found it!"
