Chapter 34

"Leave?" Zheng Shiying looked somewhat reluctantly in the direction of the Qi Wheel Cave. The killings inside these past few days had vaguely made him feel that as long as he continued to kill inside, he could touch the threshold of Fist Intent.

Now, being asked to leave, he felt somewhat unwilling.

Old Huo looked at the direction Zheng Shiying was gazing and then at his reluctant expression. He guessed that Zheng Shiying had likely touched the threshold of Fist Intent and wanted to continue to comprehend it inside.

Old Huo looked at Zheng Shiying with approval, "I didn't expect this guy to have such high insight, touching the threshold of Fist Intent in such a short time! With such effort, given time, he will surely soar to great heights in the path of martial arts!"

Thinking of this, Old Huo nodded and said, "Since you don't want to leave, stay inside. Leave whenever you want to."

"Thank you, Old Huo." Zheng Shiying excitedly clasped his fists and thanked Old Huo, then quickly rushed towards the Qi Wheel Cave.

Watching Zheng Shiying's departing back, Old Huo nodded in approval, "These days, there are indeed few disciples as ambitious as him."

Other disciples, once brought here, didn't even wait to kill all five thousand monsters before thinking of leaving, let alone staying to finish the task.

That would have caused chaos!

Unlike Zheng Shiying, who, after killing all the monsters, was still reluctant to leave.

How could the Enforcement Hall catch such a person? How corrupt must the atmosphere of the sect be?

Old Huo had already made up his mind to clean up the atmosphere of the sect when the opportunity arose.

Zheng Shiying's eyes were bloodshot. With his understanding of Fist Intent, he crazily slaughtered the monsters that appeared in his field of vision.

One day, two days... five days passed.

"Whoo!"

The bloodiness in the Qi Wheel Cave had become so intense that it was suffocating. The monsters that just emerged from the sea of blood were immediately cut down by the cold blade light.

A robust, ape-like monster leaped towards Zheng Shiying from a distance.

The rapid air flow made the blood smell even stronger. Zheng Shiying swung his fist backward!

"Boom!"

The ape, at the highest point of its leap, immediately exploded into powder, with warm, fresh blood splattering in all directions.

A faint, pale red, cold and icy aura appeared around Zheng Shiying.

The blood that dripped onto this aura was cut into two pieces, like it had hit a blade, and fell to the ground, coagulating into blood clots.

The temperature around him dropped sharply. The monsters from the fourth to fifth Qi Wheel realm turned and ran, while those from the seventh to ninth Qi Wheel realm dropped their weapons and trembled as they approached him.

Zheng Shiying entered a mysterious realm.

In the entire world, there was only him. Around him was a desolate wasteland, and the monsters approaching him had eyes that glowed with fire, looking ferocious as if they wanted to devour him.

"Kill!"

With this one word, Zheng Shiying's body emitted a "crack, crack, crack" sound.

Spirit Qi broke through the seventh Spirit Wheel and began to carve the eighth Spirit Wheel.

"Eightth Wheel of the Spirit Wheel Realm!"

The invisible blade in his hand, with one slash, created two afterimages, "Two Shadow Blade," instantly splitting the monsters that came to die into three pieces.

The Thunder Fist that hit the monsters emitted a "crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack" nine times!

"Nine Thunder Sounds!"

The monsters hit by the Thunder Fist turned to powder and exploded.

The "Eight Directions Step" he used, after the fourth step, no longer left him as exhausted as before.

"Killing aura, I didn't expect this kid to cultivate killing aura in such a short time."

Old Huo, standing at the cave entrance, was surprised and looked at this scene with amazement.

From the time Zheng Shiying entered the cave to now, it had been only ten days.

If it were others, not to mention ten days, even twenty days wouldn't be enough to kill all the monsters.

But this guy, in just five days, had killed all the monsters and, within those five days, comprehended the state of slaughter.

This already surprised Old Huo!

When Zheng Shiying said he wanted to stay in the Qi Wheel Cave to comprehend, Old Huo had only guessed that Zheng Shiying had touched the threshold of Fist Intent.

For Zheng Shiying to cross this threshold, how could it be so easy? From comprehension to crossing the threshold, it would take years.

But what Old Huo never expected was that this guy, in less than ten days, had cultivated "killing aura"!

This was something he never expected!

Waking from the mysterious realm, Zheng Shiying knew he had comprehended what he needed to. Staying here would not bring him significant gains.

After a brief adjustment, he walked out of the cave.

Seeing Old Huo standing at the entrance, he walked up to him and said, "Old Huo, I have comprehended what I needed to. I think it's time for me to leave."

Old Huo took a while to recover from his shock. Hearing that Zheng Shiying wanted to leave, he did not try to retain him. He silently walked to the stone tablet, wrote a letter, and placed it on a white crane, which quickly flew out of the cave.

Not long after, the white crane flew back into the cave.

Lu Ming, along with the Enforcement Hall members who had brought Zheng Shiying here, walked in excitedly.

As they walked, the Enforcement Hall members said smugly, "Old Huo must have called us because that kid was driven mad by the monsters in the Blood Sea Cave."

"Or he was beaten to the point of barely surviving, and we had to carry him down the mountain. Otherwise, why would he call us?"

"Who made him offend Brother Lu? This is what he deserves!"

The Enforcement Hall members occasionally flattered Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was extremely pleased. How could anyone who offended him have a good end?

Imagining Zheng Shiying's miserable state, they quickly reached the cave.

When they saw Zheng Shiying standing in front of Old Huo, not looking as if he was barely surviving or driven mad, but instead glaring at them with a fierce look, their faces immediately turned sour.

This guy, upon seeing them, not only showed no fear but glared at them with such a fierce look, indicating he wasn't seriously injured!

Since he wasn't seriously injured, why did Old Huo call them?

"Could it be that he committed more offenses, and Old Huo wants us to take him away?"

Meeting Zheng Shiying's gaze, Lu Ming smiled and asked Old Huo, "Old Huo, could it be that this kid was still misbehaving here, committing even greater offenses, and you want us to take him away and strip his cultivation?"

Old Huo's eyes turned cold, and he coldly snorted, "Nonsense! Zheng Shiying has completed his killing task!"

"What?"

"Is that too fast?"

"Has it only been ten days?"

"How could he complete it?"

Lu Ming and the others were so surprised that their mouths dropped open.

How difficult it was to deal with the monsters in the Blood Sea Cave, they knew better than anyone.

For Zheng Shiying to kill that many monsters, it would take at least twenty-five days. He had only been here for ten days. How could he complete it in such a short time?

They were full of doubt about Old Huo's words but dared not voice it.

Lu Ming glanced at Zheng Shiying and coldly snorted in his heart, "Brat, I don't know what method you used to make Old Huo speak for you and let you out so quickly."

"But rest assured! After you leave, I will find a way to bring you back. I don't believe Old Huo will let you go so easily next time."

Old Huo glared at them and said sternly, "From the look in your eyes, you doubt my words?"

Old Huo was displeased! Lu Ming and the others immediately felt something was wrong and quickly shook their heads, "We dare not!"

"Dare not?" Old Huo didn't say it, but he knew their little schemes. Otherwise, why would he call them?

Lu Ming vented his anger on Zheng Shiying, giving him a fierce glare.

Old Huo, with his hands behind his back, said calmly, "Since you dare not, take Zheng Shiying to the Three Pass Hall and let him challenge the 'Three Passes'!"

The Three Passes?

Lu Ming's face turned pale.

He was planning to torture Zheng Shiying after taking him out and then find another reason to send him back to the Blood Cave or some other dangerous place.

Now, Old Huo was actually sending him to the Three Pass Hall.

This way, he couldn't touch Zheng Shiying for the time being.

Moreover, if Zheng Shiying passed the 'Three Passes,' wouldn't he be finished?

The more he thought about it, the colder his face became.

"Didn't you hear me?" Seeing Lu Ming standing still, Old Huo gave him a cold look.

Despite his thousand unwillingness, Lu Ming, due to Old Huo's status, had to suppress his feelings and tremblingly led Zheng Shiying out of the cave.

The Enforcement Hall members, puzzled by Lu Ming's appearance, stepped forward and asked, "Brother Lu, why do you look so bad?"

"Shut up!" Lu Ming turned and glared at the person, saying sternly, "We've been to the Blood Cave hundreds or thousands of times! Have you ever seen Old Huo treat anyone so well?"

"He was only here for ten days and is being let out! And we are asked to take him to the Three Pass Hall. Don't you find it strange? If this kid passes the 'Three Passes,' won't we be completely finished?"

"Can you still laugh now?"

A sly-eyed Enforcement Hall member patted Lu Ming's shoulder and said, "Brother Lu, it is indeed surprising that Old Huo is helping this kid."

"But Old Huo can only help so much. At the Three Pass Hall, it's not up to him."

"The difficulty of the 'Three Passes' is beyond our imagination. Since the establishment of the sect, only a few have passed the 'Three Passes.' This kid, with his cultivation, going to challenge the 'Three Passes,' isn't he just asking for death?"

"Why should we worry?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming felt much more relaxed. He had been scared by Old Huo's support for Zheng Shiying, thinking about the punishment he would face if Zheng Shiying passed the 'Three Passes.'

But he hadn't paid attention to the difficulty of the 'Three Passes.' It was a thousand times, even ten thousand times, harder than passing through the Blood Cave.

This kid going to challenge the 'Three Passes' to clear his name was clearly asking for death.
