The next second, as Iga Yidao glanced sideways, Leng Baiyu’s dagger was about to pierce through his chest!

He could only retract his sword to block the strike.

In the fierce clash, he was jolted with instability as his chest surged with energy and blood.

Chen Xiao shouted loudly, slamming his palm down fiercely toward Iga Yidao’s crown!

At this moment, entangled by Leng Baiyu, with his steel blade unusable, Iga Yidao could only choose to clash with his fist. However, when his fist collided with Chen Xiao’s, he felt an overwhelming force crashing down from above!

This guy’s inner strength is actually so robust?

Stronger than the old generations who have cultivated for thirty to forty years?

"Thud——" He knelt straight down, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot.

"Is this it?" Chen Xiao sneered with disdain, "Even your old self is not as good as your useless son. Let me send you down to learn properly with your son!"

Iga Yidao’s eyes were bloodshot, feeling utterly humiliated and furiously roared, "Boy, if it were one-on-one, you’d definitely not be a match for this old man. If you’re capable, come have a samurai duel with me, a life and death battle between you and me!"

"Idiot, who wants to duel with you one-on-one?" Chen Xiao directly lifted his foot and kicked towards Iga Yidao’s face.

The force of this kick wasn’t small, arriving swiftly and heavily. If hit, Iga Yidao’s entire head would have burst like a smashed watermelon. His eyes showed fear and, not caring about much else, he rolled on the ground to dodge the kick, looking extremely pathetic.

Before he could regain his footing, Leng Baiyu followed up with another kick!

"This is too much!" Iga Yidao was almost driven mad with fury.

He, the Sword King of Yang Country, was actually being humiliated like this?

He swung a blade straight at Leng Baiyu’s legs on the spot!

Leng Baiyu leapt, appearing behind him the next moment and stomped him underfoot!

"Smack——"

Like a turtle, Iga Yidao was pressed to the ground, spewing blood from his mouth.

"Fighting two against one, utterly disgraceful!" Iga Yidao angrily shouted.

"Disgraceful?" Chen Xiao sneered coldly, "Speaking of disgrace, who’s as disgraceful as you Yang Country bastards?"

If Iga Gangban hadn’t captured Luo Qingli and the others, how could Chen Xiao have been driven to kill him in rage? When these Yang Country mongrels attacked innocents, how did they not call themselves disgraceful?

"On your way!" He directly thrust down a sword, with the Fish Intestine Sword piercing through Iga Yidao’s chest.

Iga Yidao’s mouth kept pouring blood as he endured the severe pain and roared fiercely, "Even in death, I’ll drag you down with me!"

Desperately, he grabbed Chen Xiao’s foot, wanting to perish together with him.

Leng Baiyu frowned and kicked his head!

"Pfft——" Iga Yidao’s head flew far away, finally hitting a tree and exploding. His hand on Chen Xiao’s thigh slowly loosened...

Chen Xiao glanced at Leng Baiyu, giving a thumbs up, "Master sister, seems like the national football team has hope!"

Leng Baiyu glared at him, "Quit joking, let’s keep moving forward, don’t let others beat us to it."

"Alright." Cautiously, Chen Xiao led Leng Baiyu onward.

They didn’t notice that behind them, from Iga Yidao’s corpse, the blood seeped into the ground and disappeared instantly, while the body rapidly decayed, turning into a pile of white bones...

During their progress, they constantly heard sounds of combat and screams coming from other places.

They frowned slightly, intentionally avoiding those areas. They were there for the Bodhi Heart and saw no need to engage in mutual slaughter, wasting their time.

However, the deeper they ventured into the secret land, the more terrified Chen Xiao’s group felt.

On the ground, the number of white bones increased.

They even saw some very fresh skeletons, whose owners seemed to have died not long ago.

"This place is eerie and full of killing intent, not at all like any Buddhist sacred land!" said Chen Xiao.

"In Yin Country, they don’t adhere to Buddhist teachings of compassion. On the contrary, their doctrines involve some cruel rituals," said Leng Baiyu. "Did you really think that abbot was a good person?"

"In Yin Country, some temples gather numerous boys and girls each year for their enjoyment."

"By comparison, our Divine Land’s Buddhist monks only require incense money, which seems like true Buddhas alive."

Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s expression turned somewhat solemn, "Be careful, the atmosphere in this area is different."

Since entering, he had been very cautious.

Because there were arrays in this place.

Although the first array was merely a confusing array with weak lethality, there was no guarantee that the next ones would be the same.

Notifying this anomaly, Chen Xiao didn’t proceed recklessly but inspected the surroundings, seemingly deep in thought.

At this moment, the sound of something slicing through the air came from behind them.

A masked warrior descended near them.

Upon seeing Chen Xiao, a glimmer of icy murderous intent flashed in his dark eyes. However, catching sight of Leng Baiyu beside Chen Xiao, his expression drastically changed.

After all, anyone entering here must be a Half-step Grandmaster. He had some confidence taking on an opponent one-on-one, but facing two was quite risky.

He said nothing, retreating like fleeing from Chen Xiao and continuing to advance.

Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu silently watched him charge forward.

"Ah——"

Suddenly, that masked warrior let out a piercingly miserable scream.

His body was cut horizontally in midair, blood gushing, and upon falling to the ground, his intestines scattered everywhere, creating an extremely horrifying scene.

"It is indeed a killing array!" Chen Xiao’s face turned cold, "There’s a major killing array in this area. That guy just now triggered it and got killed."

Then, to their horror-struck eyes, they saw the masked warrior’s blood being quickly drained and absorbed by the ground, his body withering away completely to bones in moments...

"Truly terrifying." Chen Xiao clicked his tongue, "This is not a Buddhist sacred land at all; it’s more like a human-eating ground!"

Leng Baiyu’s beautiful eyes narrowed, "It seems the Buddha Ancient Temple is indeed strange. This place seems capable of absorbing human blood and essence. Could it be they lured us here to slaughter each other for nurturing this land?"

Just as they were trembling with dread, in the distance, suddenly a bright light burst out, dazzlingly blinding them.

Afterward, the distant mist began to clear gradually.

In their shocked visions, a towering tree swayed its branches, emitting resplendent light, and streams of fresh blood were converging onto it. Nourished by this blood, the radiance of the giant tree became even more brilliant...

The leaves on the gigantic tree looked exactly like those on the leaf they received with the Heroic Invitation, and numerous Bodhi Seeds hung on the giant tree, emanating a glow.

"That must be the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree!" Chen Xiao gasped, "Could that thing growing in the middle of the tree, emitting a seven-colored glow, be the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart?"
