Step.
Step.
The sound of footsteps echoed between the mountain paths.
Xu Ying’s face was filled with anxiety, and his heart was restless.
Even though in these two days.
He had already met Chen Sheng several times.
But every time it came to situations like this, he couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous beneath his heart.
Within his mind.
Those pure white pupils of Chen Sheng would occasionally flash.
Though he knew Chen Sheng was blind.
Every time he thought of those eyes.
Xu Ying would feel a chill despite not being cold.
As if he would have all the thoughts in his heart seen through.
“Whoosh——”
While climbing the mountain.
Xu Ying took continuous deep breaths, trying to appear more calm.
Finally.
As the blue sky gradually emerged in front of him.
Xu Ying cleared his mind.
He squeezed out a smile on his face and looked at the empty ground ahead.
“Brother Chen, Old Zhou called you——”
Xu Ying was halfway through his sentence.
But when Chen Sheng’s figure appeared in his field of vision.
His speech abruptly stops.
The body that was originally moving forward suddenly stopped.
The forced smile on his face gradually faded away.
“Chen…Chen…”
His lips trembled slightly.
Xu Ying’s face was full of disbelief.
He just saw Chen Cheng laying still not far away, eyes wide open.
Those pure white pupils that scared him were now dull and without light.
Being a martial artist.
Every time he approached Chen Sheng in the past, Xu Ying could hear various sounds from within him.
The thunderous heartbeat.
The sound of the blood rushing like a mighty ocean.
And the roaring of thunder.
It itched his eardrums.
But this time.
It was dead silent.
In Xu Ying’s vision.
Chen Sheng just quietly lay there, lifeless.
Was Chen Sheng… dead?
The opponent who seemed god-like in strength… was dead?
Xu Ying found it hard to believe.
He quickly stepped forward, squatting next to Chen Sheng’s body.
Checking his breathing, pulse, and heartbeat.
Even quietly calling out to him.
However,
All of what he perceived.
All confirmed his suspicion.
Chen Sheng was really dead.
Upon realizing this.
Xu Ying inexplicably felt panic.
He felt his knees go weak.
He staggered and sat on the ground.
His expression turned from shock to horror.
In his mind,
A mixture of many emotions surfaced.
Shock.
Worry.
And even a hint of… schadenfreude.
But fear was the predominant emotion.
Even though Xu Ying was jealous of Chen Sheng.
Jealous that although Chen Sheng was just like him, coming from a provincial region.
But why was Chen Sheng able to become so strong in just one month?
Why,
Did all those prominent figures he met speak of Chen Sheng with respect and admiration?
While he…
Even when practicing martial arts, he was constantly scolded by Zhou Li.
He was still a nobody from Fuhai Province.
Just a minor character.
Perhaps many people have already forgotten his name, let alone remembered his existence.
Any random martial artist from the Kyoto Martial Arts Association would be far superior to him.
But still.
Jealousy aside.
He was fully aware of Chen Sheng’s status and importance to the Martial Arts Association.
If he was now dead.
Would he himself be implicated?
He died in the Yihe Gate where only three people were present.
Even if no one believed that he and Zhou Li could have killed Chen Sheng.
But what if?
What if in a fit of rage, the leaders of the Martial Arts Association decided to punish them regardless?
Xu Ying sat on the ground, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
He had the subconscious desire to flee.
But if he fled,
What if he was indeed labeled as a murderer by the Martial Arts Association?
He, whom suspicion hadn’t hugely pointed towards before, wouldn’t that be sentencing himself to death?
Two choices were laid before Xu Ying, rending his heart with indecision.
His palms were tightly clutching his hair on both sides.
As if he was trying to pull out all his hair.
Suddenly.
Xu Ying stopped.
He seemed to have thought of something.
Swish!
He abruptly raised his head, looking towards Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng was dead.
But what about the secrets he possessed?
Chen Sheng’s rate of strength increase was too rapid.
Rapid to the point where it was unthinkable by conventional wisdom.
Not just Xu Ying.
Even Li Wuji and other senior members of the Martial Arts Association felt that Chen Sheng must have had some sort of treasure on him.
It’s just that.
Chen Sheng was too strong, even if he had a treasure, it was not something ordinary people could covet.
But now….
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was laid out in front of Xu Ying.
If he could get Chen Sheng’s treasure.
If he could also become as strong as Chen Sheng.
Then…
Swish!
Driven by desire, the young man quickly stood up.
Fears that had previously entangled him seemed to have completely dissipated at this moment.
His hands quickly searched Chen Sheng’s body.
Where is it?
Where is it?!
Xu Ying, with wide-opened eyes, was searching every pocket on Chen Sheng’s body without missing any details.
However.
He searched through every pocket.
But he only found a phone and a pure black ring.
“Could it be this?”
Looking at the black ring in his hand.
Xu Ying hesitated slightly, his instinct telling him no.
If he himself possessed treasures that could rapidly increase one’s strength, he would definitely keep it with him and place it in a place where others couldn’t easily find it.
This ring was too noticeable.
It doesn’t look like a treasure at all.
Could it be….
Xu Ying’s gaze unintentionally fell upon Chen Sheng’s body.
Could the treasure… be hidden inside the body?
Yes.
It must be so!
Xu Ying’s eyes lit up, a joyful expression on his face.
He quickly affirmed his answer.
Martial artists at Chen Sheng’s level have bodies harder than ninety-nine percent of the substances in the world.
It has to be.
Nothing could be safer than placing it within his body.
Having thought this far.
