C3 Ambush

The scorching July day entered the Violet Cloud Mountain and traveled through the forest. It was not hot and humid at all, instead, it was very cool and gloomy.

The legend of the Violet Cloud Mountain was left behind after the great battle between the two Martial Emperors. It had once brought unimaginable destruction to this plain. Thousands of years had passed. All that was left of the battle were the towering Violet Cloud Mountain and the plains around it, once again becoming the home of humans.

Following his grandfather up a hill, Li Ke turned around and looked behind him. The horizon was a boundless plain that stretched all the way to the end of the sky. The land was divided into many farmlands, filled with green crops, and one could vaguely see farmers working in the fields.

His father, Li Bai, worked in a small town that seemed to be the size of a steamed bun. This was the first time Li Ke felt that the world was so small.

"Ke Er." Li Chen called out to Li Ke from the hillside.

"He's coming."

Li Ke responded and diligently chased after his grandfather's footsteps. He took small steps, every step filled with an unknown desire. After two years of hard work, Li Ke already had the power of a Level 3 Warrior. But due to his love for his age, his endurance was much weaker than an adult's.

Li Ke followed Li Chen up the Violet Cloud Mountain. They followed the rope that Li Chen had arranged and climbed a few steep slopes before they started to pant. But in Li Ke's bones, there was a portion of perseverance. It was the most precious thing. Even though he was very tired, Li Ke still clenched his teeth and followed behind Li Chen without saying anything.

Li Chen sneakily glanced at Li Ke several times, but the smile in his eyes was getting wider and wider.

Li Ke was already so persistent at such a young age. His future was definitely limitless.

Li Ke grabbed his grandfather's hand. He was also afraid of going up a steep slope, so he saw a dazzling cliff behind Li Chen. The cliff face was made of jade and was blood-red, but there was a small piece of white jade in the middle of it. If one looked carefully, they would see that it was actually a solid fist imprint.

Li Chen pulled Li Ke to the edge of the cliff, pointed at the cliff, and said, "This is one of the marks left behind by the battle between the two Royal Level Warriors. The power of this punch was left behind after the great battle, and through thousands of years of power, it slowly changed the texture of the cliff wall, thus it became like this today, and also left a chance for the later generations to study it. "

Li Ke was indescribably shocked. When he had heard Li Chen describe the origins of the Violet Cloud Mountain, he was deeply moved, but he didn't have a clear understanding of it. Only after seeing this jade-like cliff did he truly feel the thrill of the battle that year.

How elegant were the two Royal Grade Martial Disciples back then? Li Ke tried his best to imagine, but he could only guess a couple of points. If he wasn't there, it would be difficult for him to experience the shocking scene of the heaven and earth shattering. For thousands of years, many legends and poems had never been able to describe this scene.

It was as if people could only look up at the eagles soaring in the sky, but were unable to experience the feeling of soaring between the heaven and earth.

Li Ke couldn't help but walk towards the cliff, but Li Chen did not stop him.

This stone wall had been here for thousands of years, ever since it was discovered, countless heroes of the world had come here to observe, and there weren't just one or two people who wanted to dig it up. However, not a single person was able to successfully dig down the stone wall, and not a single person was able to.

While Li Ke was obsessed with the jade wall, the vine on the left side of the jade wall was lifted from the ground by someone. While Li Ke was obsessed with the jade wall, the vine on the left side of the jade wall was lifted up by someone from the inside.

The man in front cursed, "F * ck, we really can't dig our way out of this place. If we want to dig out this jade pillar, we have to destroy the entire Violet Cloud Mountain."

The one who shouted at the car at the back complained, "I told you no, you f * cker didn't believe me, yet you caused laozi to suffer and suffer together with you, digging stones for a month in vain."

"Look at your narrow-mindedness. If you can dig to the end, then we'll soon be rich here."

"Just with you, in these hundred years, who knows how many clans have wanted to dig out this jade pillar and move it back home to hide it. "It's not like there's nothing we can do about it."

"Sooner or later, I will also be able to unleash such a punch."

"Stop dreaming."

Two burly men walked out and saw Li Chen and Li Ke.

The big sized man at the front glared and retorted, "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen someone dig for stones? and then I'll dig out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs. "

The man behind him urged, "Come over, what are you still waiting for?" As he said that, he pushed the mine cart and tools to the edge of the cliff and threw the cart and tools down one after another. He dusted his hands and took off the kettle on his waist to drink a big mouthful.

A faint aroma of wine permeated the air. It turned out that the bottle was filled with wine.

Li Chen protected Li Ke by his side as he walked towards the other side of the jade wall.

Only now did Li Ke notice that there were caves on both sides of the jade wall, which were covered by the vines, which was why Li Ke didn't see them when he went up the mountain. As he stood at the entrance of the cave, he felt waves of cold wind assaulting his body. Li Ke couldn't help but shiver as his skin and flesh began to contract.

Li Chen didn't want anything to happen to him.

This cliff face was not a secret. Every day, there would be people from the martial world who wanted to dig up the jade wall. For hundreds of thousands of years, no one had succeeded.

It turned out that back then, the Royal Warrior had sent a huge mountain flying with a single punch and landed on the plains, forming the Violet Cloud Mountain. The Emperor level martial artist's punch had left behind a massive amount of energy. Not only did it jade the stone wall, but it also extended into the belly of the mountain, forming a massive jade pillar. A hundred years ago, the Great Qin Empire unified the world. The First Emperor of the Qin Empire sent people to dig up the Purple Cloud Mountain and drive out the Jade Pillar. However, they were unable to dig up the root of the Jade Pillar even after ten years.

Because the capital, the mausoleum, and the mountain had consumed a huge amount of wealth, the Great Qin Empire had ultimately perished.

Strangely, the tunnel that the Great Qin had dug along the two sides of the Jade Pillar extended for several kilometers. The rocks within the mountain had actually grown out, maintaining a length of one thousand meters.

Like those two men, they were digging with their own strength. Their digging speed was terrifying, and it was not even as fast as the growth of the walls.

Just as Li Chen was about to bring Li Ke into the cave, the leader shouted, "You old bastard! How dare you ignore your grandfather?! See if I'll tear your bones apart or not!"

The large man had been digging for a month and still hadn't discovered anything. After being ridiculed by his accomplices, he had long been filled with a belly full of fire.

It just so happened that the old man in front of him could vent his anger.

The big man was green and red in color. He threw away the lamp in his hand and rushed over with large strides. He raised his hand and punched towards Li Chen's face.

His fist was covered with a swift wind, and there was a faint sound of thunder rumbling.

"Rushing Thunder Fist! No wonder his temper is so bad!"

Li Chen took a step back and immediately pulled him behind to protect himself.

Li Ke felt his body becoming lighter. His feet became weak and his grandfather pulled him behind. However, he didn't feel like he was being pulled at all. His body felt like it was as light as cotton.

Just when Li Ke was astonished by his grandfather's cultivation, a burst of thunderous roars sounded in his ears.

Li Chen proudly stood up and flicked his single head, catching the big man's Rushing Thunder Fist. His feet firmly stood without a single bend. Even the stone ground beneath his feet didn't have the slightest crack. The thunder and lightning in Li Chen's hand rumbled. That seemingly vulgar man was actually a martial artist of the eighth level who had mastered the essence of thunder and lightning.

Warriors were divided into nine levels and three ranks. In the process of cultivation, the five levels, seven levels, eight levels, and nine levels were all bottlenecks. Every step forward would have a qualitative change.

Above the peak of the ninth rank, there were three upper echelons.

The three supreme experts in the world could be counted on one hand, and not a single one of them wasn't an outstanding genius whose name could shake the world.

The man had the strength of a Level 8 Warrior, and Li Chen had the strength to withstand the man's full strength punch. Li Ke only knew that his grandfather Li Chen was very strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.

He had already reached the peak of the ninth rank.

The big man's face was ashen. He had wanted to find an unlucky person to vent his anger, but he ended up kicking an iron plate instead.

The man behind saw that the man in front of him could not take it anymore. He waved the kettle in his hand and turned to Li Chen's side. He spat out a mouthful of wine and rushed towards Li Ke, who was behind Li Chen.

Li Ke's expression changed greatly. He didn't even have time to react.

"Little kid, you're a good son of a b * tch."

Li Chen was exceptionally angry. Bowing, he pulled the big size man over and used his back to block the incoming wine sword.

Ah!" The big man screamed.

"Brother Chen!" He opened his wine jug and sprinkled the wine into the air. The air was filled with the fragrance of wine, and the wine words he shouted turned into drops of rain that fell from all directions, hacking apart Li Chen and the man named Chen. Most of them attacked Li Ke.

This person had a despicable personality, and every attack he made would save him. He wanted to force Li Chen into a corner.

The grudges between the martial arts world's people would often be resolved with a single thought. This time, the enmity between them couldn't be described with words. It was just that they did not like each other, and both sides were decisive and ruthless people. Since they had made a move, they would not give any face, and would not stop until they were dead.

If he didn't kill his opponent, he would have another terrifying enemy in the future.

Li Chen bumped into the man named Chen and swung him back and forth. A level eight martial artist was like a doll and had no ability to resist. He withstood most of the attacks from the wine swords.

"My CAO!"

The man surnamed Chen cursed, transferring his hatred towards Li Chen to his former companion. After a string of curses, his head was cut off by a wine sword and he fell off the cliff.

"Old man Li Chen, just die here!"

The man who was drinking revealed a sinister smile. His attacks became even sharper. The wine sword he controlled was dyed with a blood-red color. It danced in the air like silvery droplets of blood magic crystals.

Li Chen had to protect Li Ke and was unable to counterattack with all his might. He took a few steps back with Li Ke and pushed Li Ke into the cave beside the cliff. Li Chen guarded the cave entrance and retreated step by step, so it was difficult to attack.

The two sides fell into a deadlock.

Li Ke fell to the ground, watching the fierce battle outside the cave.

This was only a battle between martial artists of the eighth or ninth level. It was hard to imagine just how powerful an Emperor level martial artist was.

Li Ke was staring blankly at the battle outside the cave. Deep in the darkness of the cave, there was a little person about Li Ke's appearance. Beside him were four corpses. They had all been killed by the roots and vines deep within the rocks. The little girl's control over the Wood Origin was enough to contend against a rank 7 expert.

The little girl looked at Li Ke, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave. With a shallow smile, she whispered, "You owe me one more time." Then, he turned into a ball of blue qi and disappeared into the root hair of the cave.

The vines twisted and turned, wrapping around the four corpses without leaving a single trace.

Perhaps thousands of years later, someone would come here and occasionally find four dried bones.

Li Ke seemed to have heard something and turned his head to look into the cave. At the side of the cave, there was a light red jade pillar glowing with a dark red light. The deeper they went, the darker it became. It was as if there were no stars in the night sky. A wave of cold air blew in from within the cave, bringing with it many unwilling and helpless wraiths and ghosts.
