On his way, Chu Jianqiu encountered many disciples of the Mystic Sword Sect. Inside the secret realm, those disciples who originally had good relations fought fiercely over a single spirit medicine. As for those who already had grudges, they showed no mercy and directly engaged in life-and-death battles.
Chu Jianqiu did not meddle in these matters. These people were unrelated to him, and as long as they did not provoke him, he would not bother with them.
Although there were many spirit medicines along the way, some were not so easy to gather. Chu Jianqiu encountered several fierce demon beasts while gathering the medicines, but he did not tangle with them excessively. For those spirit medicines guarded by demon beasts, he would take a detour to avoid unnecessary trouble.
On the third day of Chu Jianqiu's westward journey, he suddenly saw two warriors dressed in blood-red robes.
The two blood-robed warriors immediately rushed over upon seeing Chu Jianqiu.
"This Mystic Sword Sect is really out of people. They actually sent such trash in. Are they sending us heads to cut off?" One of the blood-robed warriors glanced at Chu Jianqiu, his eyes full of ridicule.
The last time they entered, the Mystic Sword Sect disciples they encountered were at least at the Sixth Level of True Qi. However, the Mystic Sword Sect disciple in front of them was clearly only at the Third Level of True Qi.
"Quickly finish him off so we can continue on our way!" The other blood-robed warrior glanced at Chu Jianqiu, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "A waste of time to kill such a low-level trash."
"Boy, you should be proud to be the opening act for me entering the secret realm!" The first blood-robed warrior sneered and slapped his palm toward Chu Jianqiu.
Chu Jianqiu did not dodge and met the palm with his own.
He did not pay much attention to these two blood-robed warriors.
The highest cultivation level of these two blood-robed warriors was only the Seventh Level of True Qi, and the one who attacked was only at the Sixth Level of True Qi.
"Boom!"
The two palms collided, causing a massive shockwave.
The Sixth Level True Qi blood-robed warrior was sent flying dozens of feet, leaving a long, deep furrow on the ground. His body twitched a few times and did not get up again.
Chu Jianqiu stood still, his clothes fluttering slightly.
He had only used eighty percent of his strength in that palm strike.
The Seventh Level True Qi blood-robed warrior was instantly stunned, his face full of disbelief.
Their Blood Fiend Sect had been in conflict with the Mystic Sword Sect for many years. Among disciples of the same cultivation level, Blood Fiend Sect disciples generally had an edge over Mystic Sword Sect disciples. Unless they encountered an exceptionally outstanding Mystic Sword Sect disciple, most of the survivors in a confrontation between two disciples of the same level were from the Blood Fiend Sect.
Mystic Sword Sect disciples were usually easily crushed by Blood Fiend Sect disciples. How could a Blood Fiend Sect disciple be killed by a Mystic Sword Sect disciple who was three levels lower?
"You're asking for death!" The Seventh Level True Qi blood-robed warrior was instantly enraged. This incident was an unprecedented humiliation for him as a Blood Fiend Sect disciple. He struck Chu Jianqiu with all his might.
Chu Jianqiu did not dodge and met the punch with his palm.
"Bang!"
Another loud sound.
This time, both were sent flying over ten feet, and the violent shockwave sent the surrounding grass and trees flying.
Chu Jianqiu lightly rubbed his wrist. This blood-robed warrior was much stronger than the previous one. This time, although he did not use any martial techniques, he used his full strength and fought the blood-robed warrior to a stalemate.
It seemed that without using martial techniques or any external forces, his combat strength was on par with a Seventh Level True Qi warrior. Of course, his true strength could not be measured this way. If he used all his means, his combat strength would increase several times over.
The blood-robed warrior was shaken and even more enraged. As a Seventh Level True Qi warrior, he was being overpowered by a mere Third Level True Qi warrior. How could he not be furious? He flashed and pounced again.
Chu Jianqiu was also roused to fight, rushing forward to engage the blood-robed warrior.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Waves of shockwaves surged, creating one large pit after another on the ground.
Chu Jianqiu still did not use any martial techniques, relying only on his basic True Qi control to fight the blood-robed warrior.
Although he had been cultivating for a long time, his cultivation speed was not slow, but he had always lacked practical combat experience. This was a good opportunity to hone his combat skills and techniques using the blood-robed warrior as a sparring partner.
Having such a perfect free sparring partner, Chu Jianqiu naturally did not want to kill him right away.
The blood-robed warrior became increasingly alarmed as the fight went on. He had thought that even if Chu Jianqiu's combat strength was astonishing, his True Qi would not be as abundant as a Seventh Level True Qi warrior. Even if Chu Jianqiu could burst with powerful combat strength due to his special talent, it would not last long.
Once the prolonged battle drained Chu Jianqiu's True Qi, he would not be a match for him.
However, the actual situation was far from what he expected. After such a long fight, Chu Jianqiu showed no signs of True Qi depletion. His True Qi seemed like an ocean, never running out.
Now, his own True Qi was starting to deplete, and he was gradually running out of strength, but Chu Jianqiu's True Qi remained as abundant as at the beginning.
The blood-robed warrior began to think of retreating. Where did this freak come from, and how could he be so powerful? Even fighting an Eighth Level True Qi Mystic Sword Sect warrior would not be as difficult.
If the fight continued, he would likely fall to this freak.
The blood-robed warrior roared and struck with all his might, forcing Chu Jianqiu back slightly, and immediately fled.
Chu Jianqiu sneered and flashed after him.
These two appeared and tried to kill him without a word. How could he let him escape so easily? Moreover, the Blood Fiend Sect and the Mystic Sword Sect were mortal enemies. Chu Jianqiu would not easily let such evil people go.
Chu Jianqiu took out two divine speed talismans and stuck them to his legs, chasing after him like lightning.
As the blood-robed warrior was fleeing, he suddenly saw Chu Jianqiu appear in front of him, shocking him. This person's movement was incredibly fast.
The blood-robed warrior gritted his teeth, activated a secret technique, and his palms instantly turned blood red.
"Blood Shadow Palm!"
The blood-robed warrior roared, and a wave of blood-red energy rushed toward Chu Jianqiu.
