World’s Best Martial Artist

Across the river.

Fang ping and Wang Jinyang stayed for a while before they started to move forward.

In front of them was a deathly silent forest.

Not long after they left … Wang Jinyang and Fang Ping’s expressions changed.

There were bones ahead!

Fang ping and Wang Jinyang retracted their auras and looked around vigilantly. Only then did Fang ping step forward to take a look.

The skeleton, or rather, the White bones, no longer had any flesh or blood.

Fang ping touched it. After a moment, he said in a serious voice,”Seventh grade!”

“Martial artists hone their bones. It’s the same for both catacombs martial artists and human martial artists.

Rank-1 martial artists were the most accurate when it came to looking at the other party’s bone armor.

“Rank-7 martial artists do not hone their skulls until they reach their peak. However, the bones and bones of martial artists below peak rank-7 are much tougher than those of rank-6 martial artists.

Fang ping did a quick check and confirmed that the skeleton was the remains of a rank-7 martial artist. His heart could not help but feel heavy.

They had just crossed the forbidden Sea, and a rank-7 had already died?

Wang Jinyang also examined the bones as he looked around. After a brief look, he muttered, “It’s not from the ancient people. The time of death is not too long ago. The flesh and blood may have been devoured by something. It’s very likely to be the martial artists from the Forbidden Zone or the catacombs who entered this time. “

The two of them checked again for a moment. Fang ping walked to a tree that looked like it had been burned down. His pupils shrank slightly, and he pulled Wang Jinyang back a few steps warily.

Wang Jinyang also saw the tree that seemed to have been burnt. He took a few steps back and said in a low voice,”This is … A bloodthirsty tree demon!”

“Yes, he’s dead.”

Fang ping nodded slightly, his expression solemn.”The bloodthirsty tree demon has no intelligence. It will devour any flesh it sees … This tree demon has devoured a rank-7 martial artist, so it must be at least rank-7.

“However, there were rank-9 martial artists in the Forbidden Zone this time, and they were swallowed by the bloodthirsty tree demon … Are they the second and third batch of commanders who entered?”

The first batch of people to enter included powerhouses from the Forbidden Zone and three rank-9s.

Such a team would not be attacked by a tree demon.

As for the second batch of escorts, there was a commander from Rose City as well as a few other commander-level experts from other cities.

For the third batch, Rose City did not send a commander. Instead, they sent a rank-6 battle-general, who was also escorted by commander powerhouses from other cities.

It would be normal for these people to be attacked.

“If even a rank-7 is dead, what about the others?” Wang Jinyang’s expression changed slightly.

He was talking about the human warriors who had been escorted here.

Fang ping said softly,”the human martial artists should have other uses. Otherwise, there’s no need to escort them thousands of miles and send them to the boundary. Wu su also said that the people from the Forbidden Zone still value these martial artists.

If he wanted to be cannon fodder, there was no need to waste so much energy.

Therefore, they should be protected and might not be in danger. “

That was what they said, but the commander they were escorting was dead. It was hard to say if they could protect these human ancient martial art practitioners.

The place where everyone crossed the river might not be nearby.

If a skeleton was found here, it could also be a lone traveler, not one of the previous groups.

While they were talking, Wang Jinyang was still deep in thought. Fang ping had already stepped forward and started cutting down the tree!

Seeing this, Wang Jinyang’s expression darkened. He shouted in a low voice,”What are you doing?”

“This is a rank-7 tree demon … Maybe even stronger! Although he was killed and looked like a piece of burnt wood, it’s still a good material for forging divine weapons. If the heart and brain cores were still there, I’d be rich!”

Previously, he had picked up a rank-7 monster’s corpse. The system had not calculated his wealth points yet, perhaps because the danger was still there.

Fang ping was not in a hurry. This thing would calculate his wealth points sooner or later.

When it was relatively safe, there would probably be no problem.

And now, he had encountered a rank-7 tree monster that had been killed.

The corpse of a monster plant was actually more valuable than the corpse of a monster beast.

In the catacombs, there were more monster beasts than monster plants. It was very difficult for plants to cultivate into monsters, and it was even more difficult for them to achieve high ranks.

The corpse of a monster plant had more uses.

After the death of many monster plants, the shed skin could be consumed, and the effect was amazing.

If he could obtain the flowers, seeds, and fruits of some monster plants … These things would usually have astonishing medicinal effects.

They could increase one’s mental energy, strengthen one’s physical body, and refine one’s internal organs. There were even some monster fruits that had the heaven-defying effect of reviving the dead and growing flesh and bones.

Before martial artists reached rank-8, being crippled was actually just being crippled.

Even for Fang ping, if he lost an arm now and failed to bring it back, he would really be a broken arm.

Rank-8 golden body powerhouses could help him heal, but they could not help him regrow his broken limbs.

Especially the parts with bone armor, they could not be regrown.

Flesh and blood were still fine. With the bones and bones as the foundation, qi and blood as the foundation, coupled with the imperishable substance, flesh and blood could still grow.

Chen Yunxi’s instructor during her first year, Bai Ruoxi, had lost an arm and was unable to bring back the broken limb. Even if her injuries were healed now, her broken arm could not be regrown. Even a rank-8 could not help her complete the regrown.

Unless she reached rank-8 herself, she would not be able to complete the regeneration of her broken limbs.

As for monster plants, they had some fruits and flowers that could complete this reconstruction process.

Of course, a large amount of life essence could also be used.

However, life essence was even rarer than these things. The cost of regrowing a severed limb was huge as well. Back then, old man Li had consumed so much life essence mainly for the regrowing of a severed limb.

……

Fang ping used the chaos-vanquishing saber to cut down the tree.

The charred bloodthirsty tree demon was not actually burnt. Those burn marks were just scars caused by the attacks of the powerhouses.

After chopping for a while, the burn marks fell off, revealing a body that was like blood jade.

Fang Ping’s eyes flashed with joy, and then he could not help but curse.

“The core is broken!”

The Jade-like body was transparent like a blood-red crystal. One could see the inside of the body.

A blood-colored core that looked like a heart was now shattered. This made Fang ping feel great regret!

The forging of a divine weapon required heart cores and brain cores. It would be best if they were the heart cores and brain cores of the same demon race.

Of course, it could also be forged if it was not from the same creature. However, during the forging process, there was a possibility of failure. It was also possible to forge a very trashy divine weapon that was seriously incompatible with the user, and even had extremely trashy functions.

Of course, the heart and brain cores of the demon race were not only used for divine weapons.

In fact, it could be used in many places.

Mcmau’s pressure room, even the vitality pool, or even simply using it as an energy stone for cultivation, all of these could be used.

“Or, if you directly condense it into heart marrow, you can also give it to high-ranks to use and speed up the cultivation progress.

However, forging a divine weapon was the most popular.

This was because divine weapons could rapidly help high-ranked martial artists increase their strength.

Just like the Rose King before, without a divine weapon, his strength was just average. When he used the divine weapon, the three rank-9 monsters at the bottom of the sea, although they did not show their true forms, were still repelled by him with one strike. It was clear that his combat power had increased by a lot.

The bloodthirsty tree demon’s Heart Core was shattered. Fang ping did not see its brain core, and he was too lazy to look for it.

After chopping for a while, Fang ping suddenly stopped and began to dig up the roots.

A moment later, Fang ping dug out a blood-colored tree that was about 5 meters tall.

However, looking at the dead demon tree, Fang ping had a headache. His storage space could not fit it anymore.

A rank-7 beast took up more than half of the space.

He had also robbed many things in Laurel City. It was obviously impossible for Fang ping to throw them away now.

Now, it seemed that he could only expand the space.

However, the wealth here was very useful. If he used up too much wealth, he might run out of wealth later on and cause trouble.

That was what he thought, but when he remembered that he still had more than 100 billion in wealth, Fang ping felt that there was still a need to expand his space.

By the time the system determined that he was safe, a rank-7 monster beast and a rank-7 monster plant with a shattered core would probably be of considerable value. It would not be a problem to make up for the consumption.

“I might as well expand it to 100 cubic meters this time!”

Fang ping had made up his mind. He quickly began to expand his storage space.

A moment later, Fang ping had spent 25 billion wealth points!

[Wealth: 87 billion (converted)]

[Vitality: 7080Cal (7088Cal)]

[Mentality: 930Hz]

[Bones honed: 177 bones (100%), 29 bones (90%)]

[Storage space: 100 cubic meters (+)]

[Energy barrier: 10000 wealth points/minute (+1,100000/minute)]

[Aura simulation: 100000 wealth points/minute (+)]

“It has dropped to 100 billion!”

Fang ping sighed in his heart. Without saying anything, he quickly put away the tree demon’s corpse underground.

At this moment, he had a lot of things in his storage space.

Rank-7 monster corpses, rank-7 monster plant corpses, a large number of middle and low-ranked energy stones, a large pile of weapons, and even the corpses of quite a number of catacombs martial artists.

Previously, when he had killed some catacombs martial artists, Fang ping had immediately collected their corpses.

Most of them were rank-6 martial artists, more than ten of them.

The corpses of rank-6 martial artists … Actually had many uses, but at this moment, Fang ping was thinking that maybe he could use these corpses to Scout the way later. He had forgotten about this earlier.

Wang Jinyang’s eyebrows twitched as he watched Fang ping put away the monster plant’s corpse.

The space in this guy’s storage ring was extraordinarily large!

He had collected a lot of things!

If it were someone else, even if they saw the corpse, they would not be able to take it away.

He was still thinking about this when Fang ping said in a low voice, “Let’s not talk about anything else this time. Just picking up the corpses is enough to make a fortune. “If a rank-3 martial artist dares to follow me, he’ll make a fortune too!”

This was the truth. Fang ping would not be interested in ordinary things.

Sometimes, when he killed some fourth or fifth-grade beasts, he didn’t even bother to look at them. As for digging out their heart cores, he didn’t even bother.

Of course, if he had enough time, he would take it with him. After all, he had his storage space.

However, other people would rarely do it.

If a low-ranked martial artist were to pick up a rank-4 or rank-5 monster’s corpse, it would be considered a windfall.

At this moment, Fang ping could somewhat understand why Zhang Tao could pick up the corpse of a rank-9 monster plant back then.

If … The one who attacked was a Paragon powerhouse, and the Paragon powerhouse had a Paragon opponent, killing a rank-9 monster plant, they might not care, nor would they have the time to care.

He just did not know if it was caused by a Paragon. The possibility was very high. Otherwise, a typical rank-9 would not be able to kill a rank-9 monster plant so quickly that the other party would not even have the time to consume its life essence.

“The premise is that you can survive!”

Wang Jinyang scoffed. If they followed a strong person, they could get some benefits, but the chances of losing their lives were higher.

If you were slightly affected, you wouldn’t even know how you died.

He stopped thinking about how big Fang Ping’s storage ring was. Wang Jinyang walked carefully, looking around, and said in a low voice,”Be careful. Since one bloodthirsty tree demon has appeared, there might be more nearby!

This forest might have many of these monster plants. “

“I know. You be careful too. From now on, let’s not talk, and don’t step on the ground …”

Fang ping had just finished speaking when Wang Jinyang shook his head and said,”I can’t over-exhaust my vitality, so I didn’t bring many pills and energy stones.”

“I have them. Don’t mind it. I’ll give them all to you later. Don’t make a scene.”

“That’s good!”

“……”

The two of them stopped talking and began to float in the air, moving forward silently.

Along the way, Fang ping and Wang Jinyang saw a few more skeletons.

Some of their bones were already broken, but it was certain that they were all Warriors who had died recently.

And among them … There were a few skeletons. One look was enough to tell that they were left behind by rank-3 martial artists.

This time, Fang ping did not say anything more and kept the skeleton.

These were definitely the bones of a human warrior!

On the catacombs ‘side, the weakest that came was a rank-6 battle general. Rank-5 Wu su and the rest were all left behind. It was impossible for the rank-3 catacombs martial artists to be brought to the boundary.

It seemed that the route they were taking was the route taken by the third batch of catacombs personnel.

“The third batch will only be escorted by rank-3 martial artists.

It was obvious that some of the human ancient martial art practitioners who had been escorted here had died.

……

The area of this dead forest was not small.

Fang ping and Wang Jinyang walked for a long time but still could not walk out of the forest. Fang ping once suspected that he had taken the wrong path again.

And in the forest, there was indeed danger.

After walking for a long time, Fang ping and Wang Jinyang stopped at the same time. They looked at each other and, without a word, carefully made a detour to the side.

​

In front of them, a blood-red Tree was among the other trees. Although it wasn’t too eye-catching, and even its aura couldn’t be felt, the two had just dug out a dead rank-seven bloodthirsty nymph.

The moment he saw this even taller tree … Fang ping took a look and realized that it was at least twice as tall as the rank-7 one!

The blood-red trunk was mixed with some gold. This was an eighth-grade bloodthirsty tree demon.

The two of them concealed their auras, so the other party did not care.

Otherwise, he would have attacked the two of them long ago when he sensed the aura of the flesh and blood.

The two of them circled around for more than a thousand meters before Wang Jinyang wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead. It was exciting!

He had just heaved a sigh of relief when Fang ping suddenly said in a low voice,”Old Wang!”

Wang Jinyang was taken aback by his words and subconsciously assumed an attacking stance. Fang ping, on the other hand, drifted a bit forward and stood still.

Wang Jinyang’s line of sight followed. He was shocked and quickly rushed over.

At this moment, there was a small open space in front of him, overgrown with weeds.

In the weeds, a broken stele was exposed. It had been cut in half.

The reason why it was said to have been broken by someone was that the fracture was extremely smooth, and it was obvious that it was caused by a weapon.

Fang ping cleared the weeds around the broken stele and stared at it for a while, his gaze extremely strange.

Wang Jinyang was the same!

If it was just a broken monolith, the two of them would not be in such a state. It was not as if there were no people living in the catacombs, so it was normal to have such things.

The key was that although the broken stele had been cut off, there were still a few faint incomplete words left on it.

It was not the catacombs ‘language, it was the human language!

“Old Wang, what are these two words?”

Fang ping glanced at Wang Jinyang. ‘I’ve become illiterate. I don’t know these two words. At this moment, there are only two rather blurry words left on the broken stele.’

However, Fang ping was certain that this was not the catacombs ‘language.

Wang Jinyang glanced at Fang ping as well. After a long while, he said gloomily,”How would I know!”

Nonsense, I don’t study ancient characters, who the hell knows what these two words are.

However, after some thought, Wang Jinyang muttered,”It seems to be … Seal script!”

“Seal script?”

Fang ping mumbled,”seal script … These are the characters used during the Qin Dynasty, right?” Are you kidding me? it’s been over two thousand years …”

Wang Jinyang shook his head.”I don’t know. I don’t know much about this either, but I remember reading some ancient books before. One of them introduced the evolution of words. The seal script written on it is a little similar to this.”

“I don’t care. I’ll write down these two words first. I’ll ask when I get out!”

Fang ping started to memorize the two words. After a while, he said with uncertainty,”It looks like … It looks like … A ‘mausoleum cave’, right?”

Wang Jinyang also stared at it for a long time. He muttered, “It’s a little similar … I don’t know if it is. “

“A cave? There seemed to be a word that had been cut off. What mausoleum cave? This is a forest, could there be a cave?”

Fang ping mumbled to himself. Wang Jinyang shook his head. “I’m not sure. Also … Don’t look into these things. Some secrets have become history that can’t be traced back with the disappearance of the ancient martial arts era and the extinction of the sects.

However … Previously, you said that there were human remains in the precinct. Now, it’s confirmed.

Not only was it a relic, it might even be a relic from the ancient martial era!

In our view, the era of sects is something that happened in the last thousand years, and in the last thousand years, we didn’t use seal script …”

Fang ping said in pain,”those who use seal scripts might not be from the Qin Dynasty. They could also be from later generations. Of course, they might be even earlier. Seal scripts have existed since the Zhou Dynasty, right?”

Fang ping shook his head. He did not even dare to think about it!

F * ck, did the old ancestors really come here?

Not only did he come here, but he also settled here before? Occupy the mountain and be King?

What’s going on?

The more he learned, the more puzzled Fang ping became. Some of the information he had learned in the past was also being overturned continuously.

Previously, in school, the teacher had said that the entrance to the catacombs had only appeared a few years ago.

The earliest entrance, the West Mountain entrance, appeared about 700 years ago, and it was the kind that had not been confirmed.

The most well-documented entrance in modern history was the third entrance that appeared in 1920.

“The contact between humans and the catacombs has only started 80 years ago.

“For the past 80 years, humans and the catacombs have always been at war. They won’t rest until one of them is dead. They’ll go to war as soon as they see each other.

However, people in star suppression city said that the patriarchs had been suppressing the mountain of resisting sea for hundreds of years.

Some of these secrets might be known to the higher-ups, the patriarchs who had lived for hundreds of years or even longer, but others, including some rank-9 martial artists, might not know.

What kind of place was the precinct?

In other places in the catacombs, Fang ping had never seen any traces left behind by humans. The traces of war were similar.

Such an ancient monument could not be found anywhere else in the catacombs.

At this moment, there were actually ancient ruins left behind in the precinct. There were too many secrets contained within.

“One day, all secrets will no longer be secrets!”

Fang ping said in a low voice. Then … He began digging the broken monolith!

Wang Jinyang was dumbfounded!

Are you addicted to digging?

You’re digging this too!

Fang ping said in a low voice,”don’t look at me. Touch the broken stele yourself. It’s not a stone!”

Wang Jinyang’s expression changed. He quickly touched it, then pinched it hard. He was extremely shocked. He said in a low voice,”This … This is even harder than Grade A alloy! What is this made of?”

“I don’t know. Let’s dig it out first, baby!”

Wang Jinyang was speechless. It was indeed a treasure!

Even though the broken stele was broken, it was still more than two meters high. No one knew how deep it was underground, but it was at least three to four meters long and two meters wide.

How heavy was it?

It probably weighed a few tons!

If this could really be used, A-grade alloy would be worth millions and a kilogram.

When A-grade alloys were sold, they would be worth tens of billions!

At that moment, Wang Jinyang felt a little ashamed of himself. A mountain of gold was right in front of him, yet he had not noticed it.

No, most people probably didn’t want to dig it away after seeing it!

Fang Ping’s way of thinking was completely different from everyone else ‘s!

After seeing the remains that could have been left behind by humans from thousands of years ago, who would still have the mood to dig up the broken monolith in a moment of shock, let alone protect and commemorate it?

Fang ping, on the other hand, had dug without any warning.

As Fang ping dug, he mumbled, “I’m only doing this to protect the ancient monument left behind by our ancestors. Otherwise, it would have been destroyed sooner or later. Look, only half of the monument is left. If we don’t dig it up now, it will probably be gone the next time we come.”

Wang Jinyang could not be bothered with him. He could say whatever he wanted.
