Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

Seeing that everyone around him had already started to move, Chen You's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly exerted force with his feet, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow!

Facing the several thick tree roots that came crashing down on him, he drew his sword and unleashed a powerful "Overlord Blade Technique"!

The sharp and domineering blade energy instantly tore through the air. With a few crisp "whoosh" sounds, the three fierce tree roots that had been thrusting in were severed on the spot, spraying out a large amount of green juice.

"Flying over the grass!!"

The moment he cut through the obstacle, Chen You exerted even more force, pushing his lightness skill to its limit. His toes lightly touched the gravel, and he transformed into a blur as he darted forward.

Behind him, Tang Yan was walking with Shen Wanqian, Gao He, Bai Zhiruo, and others.

Because this area was a gathering place for martial artists from all walks of life, it absorbed most of the attacks from the tree roots. Tang Yan, wielding a long sword, moved through the area with ease, severing the attacking roots.

"Miss Tang, why did Brother Chen go that way all by himself?" Shen Wanqian asked in surprise as she dodged Duan Gen and watched Chen You walk alone towards another secluded corner.

Tang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as she followed the swift figure closely: "I don't know... but given his personality, he definitely has some clear goal."

She had a vague feeling that Chen You was not acting recklessly in order to seize the medicinal herbs.

Just as he was thinking this, Chen You had already reached a century-old tree at the edge of the square.

Faced with two roots as thick as bowls that had wrapped around him, he raised his knife and cut them off with two more strokes!

Immediately afterward, Chen You did not stop, but instead shoveled the long sword in his hand into the ground!

"Snap!"

The soft, damp soil was violently turned over, and a severely weathered, skeletal arm was immediately exposed to the air.

On the withered finger bones of the skeleton, there was a strangely shaped, ancient ring that emitted a dark red luster!

A glint of light flashed in Chen You's eyes: "The flesh ring has been found."

He moved with extreme agility, and with a swift motion, he snatched the dark red ring and put it into his pocket.

The moment he succeeded, he swung his knife again with a backhand, slicing the tree root that was smashing down from the side in mid-air with a "crack"!

However, inanimate objects are ultimately impossible to guard against.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Chen You sheathed his sword, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and an extremely thin but lightning-fast black and red tree root burst through the ground, slicing past his ankle like a venomous snake emerging from its hole!

The sharp tip of the root instantly tore through the trouser leg and flesh, and blood splattered everywhere!

"Hmm..."

Chen You felt a sharp pain and a tingling sensation in her ankle, and couldn't help but groan.

"bless!"

He sent his blessing without hesitation, and his wound healed quickly.

The sharp pain in her ankle did not slow down Chen You's movements.

The next second, he gritted his teeth and leaped up, instantly unleashing his Grass-Flying Lightness Skill to its fullest extent, his figure nimbly weaving through the flying tree roots like a whirlwind!

"Swish swish!!"

Two sharp blades slashed away the attacking roots, and just as Chen You was about to break through the encirclement, a ferocious figure crashed down on his path.

It was a burly, dark-faced man with a ferocious expression, his muscles bulging, staring intently at Chen You with wolf-like eyes.

"Kid, what did you just pull out of that corpse's hand? Show it to me, what is it?" The burly man with the dark face grinned maliciously, his eyes filled with greed.

"Get out of my way!" Chen You shouted sharply, his eyes icy, without slowing down in the slightest.

Upon seeing this, the burly, dark-faced man's scarred face contorted, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes: "Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! I saw it clearly just now, that thing... wasn't it a flesh ring?"

"brush!!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly drew a heavy saber, the blade whistling through the air, and ruthlessly swept it across Chen You's chest, trying to force Chen You back and seize the weapon!

However, he had no idea what he was facing.

The moment Chen You saw the greedy look in the other person's eyes, his own eyes were filled with the cold indifference of looking at a dead person.

Using the momentum of his light-footed dash, Chen You neither dodged nor yielded, his long sword flashing a stunningly cold light in the air!

This strike was incredibly fast!

It was so fast that the dark-faced, burly man couldn't even see the blade's trajectory!

"Pfft!"

A thin line of blood suddenly burst open on the neck of the dark-faced, burly man!

The greed in the dark-faced, burly man's eyes froze instantly, turning into endless fear and bewilderment.

His mouth was wide open, but he could only make a "gurgling" sound of blood bubbles coming out, and the saber in his hand fell heavily to the ground with a "clang".

Chen You didn't even glance at him again. The moment his figure passed the dark-faced burly man, he smoothly sheathed his sword.

The next moment, the burly man with the dark face collapsed to the ground, his gushing blood staining the surrounding soil crimson.

After instantly killing the burly, dark-faced man, Chen You leaped away without stopping for a moment.

As the black-faced strongman's blood splattered all over the ground, the living trees around him, whose attacks had slowed down, seemed to be fully activated, with countless roots piercing towards the corpse.

A moment later, Chen You's figure flickered several times before finally reuniting with Shen Wanqian, Tang Yan, and the others.

The group walked a little further along the newly opened road, and the whistling sound gradually faded away.

Only after completely crossing an invisible boundary did the strange, wildly dancing, predatory tree roots behind them finally quiet down and slowly retreat back into the ruins.

Having escaped safely, Chen You slowed his pace and, using his sleeves as cover, silently examined the flesh ring he had just acquired.

At this moment, he had quietly put the dark red, antique ring on his finger.

Suddenly, a sharp, needle-like sensation came from the flesh ring, as if several tiny straws had instantly pierced the skin and flesh!

Chen You's heart trembled, and he clearly felt the essence and blood in his body being greedily drawn out and absorbed by the ring.

His expression remained unchanged, but he understood that this was a necessary process for the first fusion with the flesh ring.

As the essence and blood were continuously injected and replenished, the originally dull flesh ring began to glow with a faint red light.

The next moment, Chen You's consciousness extended along the blood connection and he actually vaguely sensed that there was an independent space about several feet square hidden inside the flesh ring!

In that space, many ancient relics were piled up haphazardly.

There were some exquisite porcelain bottles containing medicinal pills, as well as several carved but dilapidated wooden boxes and other items.

Chen You focused his senses for a moment, then shook his head inwardly.

These treasures have been neglected for countless years, and most of them have long since lost their medicinal properties and spiritual energy, turning into waste.

Just as they were pondering, the view ahead suddenly opened up, and a strong, pungent medicinal aroma wafted towards them.

The group finally arrived at the herb field!

This medicinal field, having stood the test of time, still retains many rare medicinal herbs that gleam with a precious luster.

The experts who rushed in first were now blinded by rage, and had lost all semblance of the demeanor of a righteous sect or a martial arts master.

"Get out of my way! This century-old blood ginseng is mine!" A man wielding two axes roared, swinging his giant axe to cut the rogue cultivator who was trying to snatch the medicine in half at the waist, his blood instantly splashing onto the medicinal field.

"Bullshit! Everyone gets a share, die!" Several martial artists immediately swarmed forward, their swords flashing and their blades clashing wildly, instantly turning the axe-wielding man into mincemeat.

"Hahahaha! Nine-leaf Ganoderma! I've found it! With it, I can finally break through my Qi and Blood..."

An old man plucked a spiritual herb with great joy, but before he could finish speaking, a sharp short sword pierced his neck with a soft thud, silencing his laughter.

The sounds of fighting, screams, and blades piercing flesh rose and fell in waves!

Some people had their heads smashed open while trying to snatch an unknown medicinal herb, while others were betrayed by their longtime companions as soon as they put the herbs into their pockets.

The ground was littered with corpses and severed limbs, and the once vibrant medicinal field was instantly stained crimson with blood.

"These guys... they've all gone mad!" Shen Wanqian swallowed hard as he looked at the bloody, hellish scene of looting before him, then turned to Bai Zhiruo: "Miss Bai, please help me find the Thousand-Year Lotus."

"Can."

Bai Zhiruo nodded.

She didn't seem to value the precious medicines here very much.

"Tang Yan, you stay here, I'm going over there first."

Chen You planned to walk to the right, where the underground storage room was located, and the extraordinary treasure, the Mother-Child Mirror, was there.

"I want to go there too!" Tang Yan said bluntly, her eyes gleaming. "That's the storage room; they say it contains many rare treasures!"
