章 111: The Misery of a Direction Challenged (1)

"Ahem..." a cough echoes from outside of Wu Jing's Residence. When the two inside of the room heard it, they quickly get ready to receive this guest.

"Brother, let me out. You don't want me to ruin everything right?" Wu Ming said. Without further ado, he drags his brother along to where the guest awaits and both bow on the guest in respect.

"Disciple Wu Jing pay his respect to Heaven King."

"Disciple Wu Ming pay his respect to Heaven King."

The two of them kneeled before the Sect Patriarch. Standing beside him is their Uncle, Elder Wu from the Enforcement Hall.

"Ming-Er, a very excellent performance in the Mysterious Legacy Realm Challenge. If your master is not wrong, there's a Jade Kong-Que included within the inheritance?" Heaven King praised the youth before stating the reason he's here.

"Dear master, Wu Ming did not get... Aww!" Wu Ming wanted to say he did not get the Jade Kong-Que but Wu Jing is thinking differently. Before he finishes, a slap came from his back.

"Wu Ming got the Jade Kong-Que, Wu Ming got the Jade Kong-Que." he took the tiny Jade piece and gave it to the Heaven King.

"Good. Good." the Heaven King kept the Jade Piece in his Spatial Ring. In return for the Jade Kong-Que, he handed Wu Ming with a Jade Bottle.

"Inside the Jade bottle is the Silver Essence Liquid. I suppose that none of you two need my explanation on what this liquid can do?" the Heaven King toss the bottle to the youth and left as if he's in a hurry.

"I'll be waiting for you to come up here, Little Wu Ming..."

"..." the two youth looked at each another.

"He just took my Jade Kong-Que..." Wu Ming feels like crying for the loss of his Flying Tool, but he did not know that the Silver Essence Liquid in his hand worth at least three Jade Kong-Que.

Back into the Seventh Heaven Mountain's Patriarch Peak.

"Hmm... my total collection is now better than the old geezer Flame King." the Heaven King is appreciating his collection of twelve Flying Kong-Que in his treasured Glass Chest.

Gold, Silver, Bronze, Obsidian, Sapphire, Ruby, Jade, Stone, Marble, Clay, Bone, and Glass. The only exception in his collection is the Iron Kong-Que in Zhang Wu Ji's hand.

"I'm coming to wreck all of you!!!" Zhang Wu Ji delivered himself into the mouth of hell. The further he goes, the more concentrated is their numbers. Without knowing that somebody is monitoring him from behind, Zhang Wu Ji keeps no secret as he slaughters the Yin Poison Skeleton.

The pure strength performance gives Liu Xin Xin a shock. As a fellow Body Tempering Cultivator, unless she was given the chances to land a deadly strike, it is almost impossible for her to repeat Zhang Wu Ji's prowess in dismembering the skeletons.

"OORAH!" Zhang Wu Ji swings his baton glaive at the opponent and separates the head from the body. After keeping the skull into a Spatial Stone, he pushes the headless bone frame together into a pile, and burn them through his Nine Layer Fighter Flame.

In a short seven to ten minutes, the burning bones finally disintegrated into powder where Zhang Wu Ji then portions them into bottles. His efficiency in Hunting, Killing and Processing them is top notch when it was compared with the others.

"With this strength, how can he not take the top 3 spots inside First Heaven Mountain? Even with my 15th Stage of Inner Qi Warrior is not capable of executing this kind of strength. What kind of life did he experience from where he came?" Liu Xin Xin begins to question herself.

But before her question is answered, Zhang Wu Ji charged into a different location once again and spotted another group of seven Yin Poison Skeletons. With her following from behind, Zhang Wu Ji can expect no attackers will sneak attack him from his back, but he did not know about it.

While one is eager to protect him hiddenly, the protected are too dull to notice the differences. With this whole Outer Area of the King's Graveyard, how can there be no Yin Poison Skeleton spawned from this Burial Ground?

At this moment, Zhang Wu Ji already successfully hunted over a hundred of the Yin Poison Skeletons without getting poisoned. Because his surrounding is beginning to suffer from the shortage of Yin Poison Skeleton, Zhang Wu Ji decided to went deeper.

"Idiot! That's the Inner Area of King's Graveyard! Don't tell me he's here for the Tomb Silver?" Liu Xin Xin yelled at him inside her mind, but at the end, she followed him into the King's Graveyard Inner Area.

Inside here, the numbers of Yin Poison Skeleton once again increases. While he was hunting happily, Liu Xin Xin is worrying from behind, and occasionally attacked the incoming Yin Poison Skeleton that heading to where Zhang Wu Ji is fighting.

"Nice! Another fifty Skulls of the damn skeleton is inside my Spatial Stone. If I can hunt over two to three hundred of them, won't my profit matched all my effort in Blacksmithing a few days back?" Zhang Wu Ji speaks out his mind loudly, unaware of a listener behind him.

"Idiot! With such a strong fighting strength, how can your Blacksmithing Profession outmatch your current results? Even myself cannot fight against you on equal ground!" Liu Xin Xin complained about his words, but remain occupied with the Yin Poison Skeleton.

"Oh, Graveyards! I wonder can I get some Tomb Silver from refining them." in between of his fight, Zhang Wu Ji noticed a stack of four or five tombstones not far from where he fights. Without delaying himself from going for an inspection, he increases his ferocity against the skeletons.

"RAAA!!!" Zhang Wu Ji partially ignites the Tyrant Martial Body's strength to oppress the opposing Yin Poison Skeletons. When his ability is activated, even Liu Xin Xin, somebody not far from where he fights, felt a part of her bloodline power is restricted.

"What is happening? Why did my Bloodline shivers in fear when that idiot shouts?" Liu Xin Xin was at least half weaker due to the sudden oppressive forces that cover the whole area.

While at Zhang Wu Ji's side, the remaining six Yin Poison Skeletons no longer moves. Each of them had their skull removed from the body, and stacked together at not too far from the battling spot. As for Zhang Wu Ji, he steps closer to the row of four Tombstones and inspects it.

Tomb Silver's Mineral Slab

-Contains: 61% Silica / 19% Tomb Silver / 20% Calcium

-Quality: Low

"That's the Tomb Silver. Good Job, myself, good job." Zhang Wu Ji praised himself for guessing correctly. Without further ado, he begins his mission to collect the shattered Tombstones. As all of them is a nameless piece of Mineral Slab, Zhang Wu Ji felt nothing wrong with him destroying them.

"Xi Xi Xi!" Suddenly, a laughing sound came from not far. When the owner of the voice revealed itself, the scene of a corpse-made puppet came into his eyes. Worst of all, surrounding the flesh puppet is a dense mist of Negative Warrior Qi.

"Puppet Warrior! Zhang Wu Ji, be careful!" at the same time, Liu Xin Xin came forward to warns him after her fight is done at the same time.

"Puppet Warrior?" Zhang Wu Ji shifts his gaze to the monster, only to see that it vanishes from that spot and charging forward at where he stands. Luckily, his awareness and response are at the top compared to many cultivators in the same strength.

"QIANG!" a pair of claws strikes at Zhang Wu Ji. Luckily, his response allowed him to deflect the attack and force the Puppet Warrior backward until it was five steps away. But following from that move, the Puppet Warrior retracts the nail back and charge forward with a pair of fists.

"Zhang Wu Ji, be careful with the attack! Puppet Warrior possess strength two times stronger than ordinary human cultivator!" her sudden warning and arrival shocks Zhang Wu Ji for a moment. Luckily, her advice is taken into his consideration.

"Collapsing Fist!" Zhang Wu Ji sent forth his two fists against the Puppet Warrior, where both of them retreats by ten steps due to the fierce exchange. As the spectator between this fight, Liu Xin Xin was shocked by the results.

"How can an 11th Stage Inner Qi Warrior fight against a 14th Stage Puppet Warrior? The disparity in raw strength alone will force even 15th and 16th Stage Inner Qi Warrior to retreats from this clash." Liu Xin Xin's jaw is no longer closeable.

"Xi Xi!" the black mist starts to converge on both of the puppet's hand, where it was preparing for a killing move. When all of the Negative Warrior Qi finally condensed and seeps inside the claws, the Puppet Warrior attacks!

"Zhang Wu Ji, be careful!" again, for her third time, she called him to take extreme precaution on the Puppet Warrior.

"Seems like its time for me to fight seriously as well... Tyrant Martial Body!" Zhang Wu Ji felt it was time for him to get serious. By activating his Tyrant Martial Body's ability, Zhang Wu Ji is able to oppress all his opponents without trouble.

And due to the non-existent Martial Body from the Puppet Warrior and the Mortal-Grade Earthern Vein Martial Body from Liu Xin Xin is not in the Emperor or Saint-Grade, they were not capable of resisting the oppression force.

The oppressing force spreads outwards by 100 meters, just close enough for him to immobilize his opponents. Within that split second, Zhang Wu Ji attacked the Puppet Warrior without mercy and completely destroys it before the puppet managed to retort.

With the fight is over, Zhang Wu Ji deactivates the oppressing force and keeps the puppet inside one of the Spatial Stone. Looking at Liu Xin Xin that came close to him, Zhang Wu Ji cupped his hands together on her.

"Junior Wu Ji pay his respect to senior sister Liu." Zhang Wu Ji said.

"Your action is very reckless. The Puppet Warrior is extremely dangerous, especially why they're using the Yin Poison Claw. a thin cut is enough to inflict you with a lethal dosage of Yin Essence Slaughtering Mist." Liu Xin Xin explained the reason she says he's reckless.

Like what she said, the danger while fighting without sufficient preparation is similar to seeking for his own death. Although the Yin Essence Weakening Mist is something that can be cured with a single Sunlight Flower Pill, it was different when the poison inflicted is the deadly Yin Essence Slaughtering Mist.

Once poisoned, the cultivator will first suffer from extreme loss of Inner Qi within the body. With the situation turning worst every minute, the cultivator's body will become stiff due to the lack of Inner Qi and blood. In between eleven to thirteen minutes is the most a cultivator in their Inner Qi Warrior cultivation can struggle before succumbing to death.

After listening obediently at Liu Xin Xin for five to ten minutes, she finally rests her anger aside seeing how sorry is the junior standing before her. They discussed their motive to come into the forest, and when Liu Xin Xin knows about the quest, she leads Zhang Wu Ji quickly back to where she fights to collect the Yin Poison Skeleton's head.

At the same time, she told Zhang Wu Ji about her intention here.

It was for the sake of collecting some Tomb Silver back to test her skill in blacksmithing, and also to check the amount of profit she can get from moving from selling good-quality Mineral Ores for Fool Silver to Tomb Silver.

With an intention to help her, Zhang Wu Ji suggested that they continue to hunt for the Tomb Silver's Mineral Slab together. But about two hours later, the two quickly retreats without any intention to fight against the Puppet Warrior that chasing them from behind.

Because it was an intense chase, the duo took a few corners to confuse the Puppet Warrior, but after a few minutes of running, even Zhang Wu Ji himself is lost!

"Where did that guy go?" Liu Xin Xin looks around but found nobody.

"Where did she go???" Zhang Wu Ji continues to run with the Puppet Warrior chasing him from behind. He looks around for her signs, but the issue is instead of running outwards, he's running inwards!
