Chapter V. Escape into the Woods

　　Practicing fists, practicing swords, entering the forest, and observing the diagram, these were the things Chen Zong did repeatedly every day. 　　The more he viewed the Fierce Tiger Downhill Diagram, the more the feeling continued to accumulate and grow stronger, yet it was as if it lacked an opportunity, like loose sand, it was never able to coalesce, making Chen Zong a bit scratchy. 　　"Obviously on the verge of grasping that feeling, what in the world is still not understood?" By the small lake, Chen Zong walked around with his head down. 　　The more anxious he was, the harder it was to grasp the clue, creating a vicious cycle. 　　Suddenly, the tip of the sword in the space between his eyebrows gently trembled as the silver-colored pale dragon swam, and a silky cool aura spread out, causing his mind to regain its composure and his heart to calm down. 　　"Can't be too anxious, since we've already reached this point, breaking through to perfection is only a matter of time." Exhaling a long breath, Chen Zong secretly said. 　　Tilting his body forward and crouching low, he assumed the True Sword Eight Styles Starting Stance - Ambidextrous Sword Stance. 　　Standing still, he allowed himself to enter a unique state. 　　The sword came out of its sheath, and under the obscure friction sound, the sword body chopped forward horizontally, after drawing a semi-circular arc, his body went backward like waves undulating, his right arm gripping the sword was pulled back, his strength was stimulated, and he violently rushed forward and shot out. 　　Drawing Sword Style, Rushing Sword Style, Ring Sword Style, Chopping Sword Style, Chaotic Sword Style, Blast Sword Style, Explosive Sword Style! 　　The last stance was also the most powerful, a sword breaking through the air as if shattering everything. 　　True sword eight style, to ambush the sword style start, to burst the sword style end, a style immediately after a style, the sword chain, the previous style will have a surplus of power attached to the next style, the further the greater the power, especially the last burst the sword style, it is the full mobilization of all the power, the force through the sword body, is a move of the explosive force of the sword style, the might of a strong and unparalleled. 　　In addition to the Vorpal Sword Style, the other seven styles could be performed individually, and their power was also not bad. 　　After practicing the True Sword Eight Styles, Chen Zong once again entered the Wind Howl Forest, but each time he would not go too deep, stopping at the right moment so as to avoid encountering dangers he could not cope with. 　　Entering the Wind Howl Forest repeatedly, from the rusty beginning to the current familiarity, it could be said that the outskirts of the Wind Howl Forest was just like going home, but unfortunately, Chen Zong froze and did not find any herbs other than hunting a few rabbits. 　　Stepping into the forest once again, the light was dim and quiet. 　　"Perhaps this time, I can go a little deeper." Chen Zong secretly said. 　　When he went almost as deep, Chen Zong hunted another fat and big rabbit, as for fierce beasts like wolves, tigers and leopards, he did not encounter any. 　　There might have been a lot of them in the past, but after many hunts by the martial artists of Little Lake Town, the number gradually decreased and shifted deeper, making it not that easy to encounter them. 　　"That's it for today." Carrying a rabbit weighing about ten pounds, Chen Zong turned around and was about to head out of the forest, "This rabbit, it's enough for me and Ah Dad to eat for two days, put some sun-dried green chestnuts and red wolfberries to stew for three hours, it's tasty and can replenish the body." 　　Only a few dozen meters out, a tall figure was striding towards the front. 　　"Worthy of being someone who dares to challenge Gang Shao, to go so deep into the Wind Howl Forest." The visitor grinned and laughed in an unfriendly tone. 　　"Chen Dazhong ......" Chen Zong's heart snapped, feeling bad, he quickly flew back. 　　Chen Dazhong was Chen Dalei's elder brother, he was twenty years old this year, and his cultivation had reached the fourth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, this talent, Chen Zong couldn't say whether it was good or bad, after all, his eyesight wasn't enough yet, but he was very clear that there was an abyssal difference between the fourth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm and the third layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, first of all in the physical strength, the fourth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm was able to have a thousand kilograms of strength in one arm, and he was also able to catalyze the power of his qi and blood to exert a much stronger force. 　　This is a martial artist. 　　To a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist, the power of Qi and Blood was crucial, and there was a clear difference between it and the blood qi of a Martial Apprentice. 　　Even if one had a sword in hand, the difference between the two sides was so great that, probably, there was no chance of drawing the sword. 　　"Pretty quick reaction." Chen Dazhong stared at Chen Zong as if he was looking at prey, approaching in large strides, compared to Chen Zong, not only was his cultivation higher and stronger, he had also gone into the forest to fight with ferocious beasts, and was more experienced in battle. 　　Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Zong threw the rabbit in his hand towards Chen Dazhong with all his strength, quickly turned around, and ran furiously towards the deeper part of the Wind Howl Forest with all his might. 　　Chen Dazhong casually swung his hand, flinging the rabbit dozens of meters away as if swatting a fly, his speed exploding as the wind whistled. 　　"Chen Zong, I won't kill you, obediently stop and let me teach you a lesson, otherwise if you go any deeper into the Wind Howl Forest, you will only die." Chen Dazhong shouted as he chased. 　　Chen Zong summoned all his strength to power up and run wildly, not daring to open his mouth because the moment he did, it would affect his speed. 　　Rushing and rushing, constantly rushing forward, the blood qi stirred and surged, his heart beating wildly as if it was going to rush out of his chest, Chen Zong with his strong will, squeezed every bit of strength out of his body and turned it into speed. 　　Fast! 　　Faster! 　　Faster! 　　Only, Chen Dazhong kept approaching, his speed was going to be above Chen Zong. 　　Feeling the pressure coming from behind, Chen Zong's teeth almost gritted, once he was caught up, he would definitely be injured, and that was not what he wished for. 　　The space in the center of his brow, as if sensing Chen Zong's deep crisis, the tip of the sword gently trembled, and the light shone greatly, causing Chen Zong's five senses to be elevated to the extreme. 　　Terrifying whistling sound came from behind, without the slightest hesitation, Chen Zong pounced forward, rolled on the ground in a circle quickly get up and continue to run wildly, narrowly avoided Chen Dazhong a fist blast. 　　Chen Dazhong was a little surprised that a mere second level of the Qi Blood Realm was able to avoid his strike, but his speed did not decrease at all, closing in even further on Chen Zong. 　　"Chen Zong, I'm warning you once again, stop immediately, otherwise the next time I strike, it won't be as simple as being injured." Chen Dazhong was also enraged. 　　Another punch, like a tiger roaring, the terrifying sound caused Chen Zong's scalp to go numb, subconsciously rolling to the side, the strong wind whistled past, grazing his cheeks and causing pain, his balance was affected, unable to get up immediately, Chen Dazhong took a step to bully his way closer, blocking Chen Zong's path, his face was full of sardonic smiles. 　　"Chen Dazhong, the family has a rule that martial artists are not allowed to strike at martial apprentices, do you want to violate the family rule?" Chen Zong quickly got up, incomparably vigilant as he stared at Chen Dazhong, questioning in a stern voice. 　　"Does anyone know?" Chen Dazhong said with a face full of killing intent, "Besides, you have already angered me, do you still think you can leave here alive?" 　　Chen Zong's heart sank and chills ran through his body, Chen Dazhong actually wanted to kill himself. 　　"Don't try to stall for time, resign yourself to your fate." 　　As soon as the words fell, Chen Dazhong took a sudden step forward, like a fierce tiger impacting, a fist pounded out as if it had burst the air, a terrifying sound impacted, causing Chen Zong's hairs to stand on end, if he was hit, he would definitely be killed. 　　"Roar ......" Pale, thick, a kind of sheer dominance, followed by a tall and strong figure leaping out from within the huge grass. 　　Black and golden yellow patches, black lines on the forehead like a "king" character, domineering, eyes like electricity, shining in the darkness of the forest, cold and domineering, a glance, let Chen Zong involuntarily trembled, cold air from the top of the head straight through the tailbone, tingling all over the body. 　　Chen Dazhong's face changed, instantly turning around, the original punch that was directed towards Chen Zong became more ferocious and more violent, accompanied by a low loud cry, blasting towards the fierce tiger that leapt out. 　　The fist collided with the tiger's claws, a terrifying sound stirred, the tiger landed and retreated, Chen Dazhong also retreated a few steps, his arm trembled slightly. 　　Chen Zong awake, did not hesitate to run to the side, this is his only chance to leave, this direction is not to the outside of the forest, because Chen Zong knows, although the tiger is powerful, but is not a demonic beast, I do not know whether it can defeat Chen Dazhong, in case the enemy can not, Chen Dazhong will continue to chase after their own, and here is quite a distance away from the outside of the forest, with their own speed want to rush out, at least half an hour or more, once chased to. will die without a doubt. 　　"Well well well, a beast even dares to sabotage me." Chen Dazhong was furious, his eyes flashed ferociously, his face was full of hideousness, he posed in the tiger crouching style, "Let me beat you to death, the tiger bone boiled into glue, the tiger meat stewed into soup, the tiger skin made into clothes, to enhance the cultivation of Gang Shao and my younger brother." 　　The tiger crouched low and coiled on the ground, its eyes were fierce like electricity, locking onto Chen Dazhong, this bipedal animal was full of qi and blood, it was definitely a very tasty and delicious food, its intuition told it that eating it would be of great benefit. 　　Both sides stormed out, charging towards each other in a fierce battle. 　　Chen Zong ran hundreds of meters away and then dodged, hiding behind a large tree to probe and look, vaguely could only see a man and a tiger fighting fiercely, the sound was astonishing, only to see Chen Dazhong gradually gaining the upper hand, beating that tiger with roars of rage. 　　"A martial artist at the fourth level of the Qi Blood Realm is truly terrifying, it looks like there is no chance to kill Chen Dazhong back." With a dark voice, Chen Zong watched for another short while to make sure that the fierce tiger was indeed no match for Chen Dazhong, and then ran forward once again, and the sounds coming from him became smaller and smaller until they disappeared. 　　Another period of time passed, Chen Zong heard the sound of a gurgling stream, before his eyes opened up, a clear stream about a meter wide and half a meter deep stretched into the distance, as if it was separating the forest, in the middle of the stream, fish could be seen swimming, in the vicinity of the stream, there was a dilapidated and simple small wooden house. 　　"Someone?" Chen Zong cautiously approached, the cabin was empty, a dilapidated wooden plank bed as well as a mossy iron pot and mushrooms in the corners of the wall all indicated that no one had lived here for a long time. 　　"Perhaps, I can live here for a while." Chen Zong's eyes glowed. 　　After this incident, he knew that Chen Zhigang was a narrow-minded person, and if he appeared again, it was likely that Chen Dazhong or others would come and continue to look for trouble, which would be very unfavorable to his cultivation. 　　If he was injured, not only would he not be able to cultivate, but he would also bring a considerable burden to Ah Dad, so it would be better to leave for the time being to focus on cultivation, and wait for the Martial Apprentice Battle to begin before returning to the clan to win the top three. 　　"It's decided." Chen Zong thought carefully for a moment, "I have to go back first, or else Ah Dad will be worried, well, just use the fictitious old man from before as an excuse." 　　"Let's just say that that senior wants to instruct me in cultivation, this way Ah Dad shouldn't worry." 　　Thus, Chen Zong decided so happily, cruising around for a few moments, carefully observing the various footprint traces, finally confirming that there are no large beasts infesting this place, and further reassuring himself, about the same time, heading towards the place to see how Chen Dazhong's battle with the tiger was going, and if Chen Dazhong was also injured or even consumed too much energy, then it was the time for his own counter-attacks.
