Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 100

Ou Yangming traveled quickly in the forest while carrying Zhang Yinli's head.

The head had been handled such that it did not really reek of blood anymore. While he traveled extremely quickly, he had not used the Blood Flight.

Although the Blood Flight moved at an unbelievable speed, there was still a huge limit to it.

It would be fine if one wanted to travel in a straight path in an open area, but without sufficient mental power to control the skill, one would be courting death by activating it in the dense forest.

Based on Ou Yangming's state at the moment, it was impossible for him to use his mental power anymore.

Besides, the Blood Flight required plenty of Qi and blood, and he had just replenished them after putting in a lot of effort, so how could he waste them just like that?

Nonetheless, even without the Blood Flight Art, Ou Yangming was able to move easily in the forest with help from the Vision +1 attribute. He retraced his steps to exit the forest, and would dodge in advance if a powerful ferocious beast was in his way. He would not kill innocent animals if he did not need to regain Qi and blood or if he was not hungry. After all, the wild beasts were living creatures, and he did not plan to kill every single one of them.

Needless to say, he was not going to be merciful if the wild beasts attacked him.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming stopped running.

He vaguely noticed a figure in front, but the person was as fast as a ghost as he disappeared in a split second.

After learning his lesson from Zhang Yinli, Ou Yangming quickly calmed down.

He must not panic under any circ.u.mstance. Especially if the purple light in his mind was not activated and he was not in the state of the integration of Heaven and man, he must be cautious and composed.

Ou Yangming stopped steadily and pulled out his military saber to prepare for battle. His consciousness rose at the same time, so he would not be caught off guard or overreact no matter what happened next.

Of course, Ou Yangming was not in his best condition because he did not utilize his mental power this time. Even then, he had enough to face normal situations.

The other party was in a stalemate with Ou Yangming, and seemed to be more patient than him.

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows a little as he did not want to let this go on anymore. Though he was still rich in Qi and blood, he was actually mentally exhausted.

If he was in a safe environment, he was certain that he would fall asleep right away.

Therefore, he did not have time for hide-and-seek.

Ou Yangming scoffed and took a step back, then suddenly ran in the path next to the person. Since the person did not want to reveal himself, Ou Yangming decided to avoid him as he did not want more trouble.

However, the figure appeared again after he ran for only a short distance.

This time, Ou Yangming could confirm that it was not a chance encounter; the figure had come for him.

Killing intent was seen in his eyes. He had already killed Zhang Yinli, thus he would not mind killing another person. As such, Ou Yangming suddenly changed his direction by pushing off with his toes from the big tree next to him. The military saber in his hands shone as he attacked the figure.

He had gathered all his power and controlled his surroundings to launch the attack. It was unexpected, and was enough to catch his opponent off guard.

Ou Yangming was confident about killing his enemy with one slash because he now had the strength of a Yin Grade powerhouse.

Nevertheless, a shout was heard suddenly. “Great blade technique!”

Following that, a flash was seen in front of Ou Yangming as the figure had pulled out his longsword to attack as well.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh when he saw the quick attack from the sword. 'Are you contending your sword art with my blade technique? Zhang Yinli, a Yang Grade powerhouse, won't even dare to do it, how can you succeed?'

His military saber turned to change its path halfway, and actually clashed with the longsword in an agile and elegant manner. Ou Yangming had definitely gathered all his power for the attack, and the mighty power was vividly portrayed at that moment.

Despite that, he quickly realized that a ma.s.sive rebound power came from his opponent's longsword. The power was so mighty that it was superior to Zhang Yinli's.

Ou Yangming's face changed, and he backed away at the speed of light by borrowing force, mentally cursing

'Is the Zhang family done yet! How could they send another Yang Grade powerhouse? Besides, this person seems to be more powerful than Zhang Yinli.'

If Ou Yangming was still full of energy, he would be fearless because he could control the Blood Flight Art using his mental power.

By utilizing the art's speed and the integration of Heaven and man, Ou Yangming would be confident about killing another Yang Grade powerhouse who was on par with Zhang Yinli. However, he had been exhausted of mental power, and did not know if there would be a residual effect from using the skill forcefully, so he dared not take the risk.

Ou Yangming stared at his opponent, and remembered the handsome face well.

If he encountered the person again another day, in a place where n.o.body else was around, he would definitely let him remember why the flowers were so red[1].

The person who stood opposite Ou Yangming was a middle-aged man that was holding a longsword and had an unrestrained bearing. That said, when Ou Yangming stared at him, he somehow felt chills on his neck.

He shook his head and curbed his thought as he expressed, “I'm Xiaoxiao Sheng from the Fang family, who are you?”

Ou Yangming stopped and looked at him dubiously. “I'm Ou Yangming. You say that you're from the Fang family, do you have proof?”

Xiaoxiao Sheng's eyes lit up. While he had somewhat guessed Ou Yangming's ident.i.ty earlier, he was relieved when Ou Yangming revealed it.

After all, he was the Fang family's elder, hence he was also counting on Ou Yangming to refine the tools for their family.

If the young fellow was so unlucky to have died, the Fang family would once more feel troubled about the attachment of Unique Attributes.

“Hehe, you want proof? It's simple.” The sharp-eyed Xiaoxiao Sheng instantly noticed that Ou Yangming did not trust him, so he said, “If you come with me and see your fellows from the military camp, will you believe me?”

Ou Yangming hesitated before he said, “Okay, please lead the way!” In actual fact, he had almost fully trusted the man, but before seeing anyone who was truly trustable, he could not let his guard down.

Xiaoxiao Sheng turned and led the way without saying anything else.

He knew that it would be hard for him to make Ou Yangming unsuspicious of him no matter how much he said, so it was best to prove with action.

Sure enough, Ou Yangming was more at ease after seeing Xiaoxiao Sheng's move. Though he was still alert, he obviously had more trust for Xiaoxiao Sheng than before.

Xiaoxiao Sheng did not travel too quickly at the beginning, but soon realized that Ou Yangming was able to follow him effortlessly. It seemed like speed was not worth mentioning at all to Ou Yangming. Therefore, Xiaoxiao Sheng slowly sped up, but Ou Yangming was still able to follow him closely, and did not seem like it was strenuous for him at all.

Xiaoxiao Sheng was astonished. That being said, instead of speeding up again, he maintained a speed that was considered difficult for normal Yin Grade martial artists.

Honestly, Ou Yangming was originally not slow at all, but had not achieved such a high level

yet.

Nonetheless, he had 4 points of Agility, and his consciousness was still split because he was still slightly wary of Xiaoxiao Sheng.

Under this state, Ou Yangming surroundings were very clear to him, and he was able to borrow force to travel. This was why he could easily keep up with Xiaoxiao Sheng.

Xiaoxiao Sheng suddenly slowed down after two hours and shouted, “Who's there, come

out!”

Ou Yangming was taken aback. He had not noticed anything even with the Vision +1 attribute on his helmet, so how did Xiaoxiao Sheng?

He instantly figured that the man was either exceptionally talented or also possessed a piece of Attribute Equipment that had an attribute similar to Vision. After some thought, Ou Yangming felt that the latter was more likely the case.

“Senior Xiaoxiao Sheng, it's me.”

Ou Yangming instantly sighed a breath of relief because a familiar voice was heard. He was finally certain that these people were not other men sent by the Zhang family, but people who had come to look for him.

This was because the person who spoke was Captain Yu Hailiang from the South Camp's Guards.

Since he was the Guard's captain, he was surely the general's confidant, and a person like that would never be a traitor.

Captains were bound together with the generals for good or for ill, to the point that they would also be in a terrible state if the general whom they served fell. Moreover, the captains were imprinted with different marks from their respective generals, so it was nearly impossible for them to serve another person.

“Senior Xiaoxiao Sheng, why are you… Ah, Master Ou, is that you?” Yu Hailiang suddenly exclaimed halfway.

Although Ou Yangming looked battered at the moment, Yu Hailiang was able to recognize him.

The military camp spared no effort in finding Ou Yangming these past few days, and General Fang had been worried sick. Nevertheless, everyone suspected that Ou Yangming had possibly suffered a miserable fate.

Hence, Yu Hailiang was so delighted upon seeing Ou Yangming that the feeling simply could not be described in words.

'The general would be elated too if he finds out,' he thought. “Captain Yu, long time no see,” Ou Yangming greeted with a chuckle, then expressed, “It's really great to see you!”

Yu Hailiang took a few steps forward, and was startled when he noticed what was carried on Ou Yangming's waist. “Master Ou, this is…”

Ou Yangming smirked and removed the head to tossed it over. “This is the culprit who ambushed and attacked us this time!”

There was killing intent in Yu Hailiang's eyes for a split second. Lin Chao was the squad leader under him, after all, so how could he not be furious about his unjust death?

Xiaoxiao Sheng suddenly asked, “Master Ou, who is this? Who was he killed?”

Yu Hailiang came to a sudden realization too. 'According to our deduction, the man is probably a Yang Grade powerhouse, but why is his head with Ou Yangming?

'Even though Master Ou is good at creating miracles, it doesn't seem quite possible that he's able to kill a Yang Grade powerhouse when he's only a Force Grade martial artist.

'Hmm, it's quite unlikely, isn't it?'

For some reason, Yu Hailiang became uncertain when he looked at the calm and steady Ou Yangming.

“This was Zhang Yinli, the older brother of a.s.sistant Supervisor Zhang Yinfan from the Provision Camp,” Ou Yangming answered slowly, then fixed his gaze on Yu Hailiang as he asked, “Captain Yu, can I trust you?”

“Yes!” Yu Hailiang answered without any hesitation.

Ou Yangming then nodded and said, “Okay, I'll leave everything to you!”

'Leave what to me?' Yu Hailiang was stunned and bewildered. Ou Yangming shut his eyes at the next instant, then his knees became weak as he suddenly fell.

Before Yu Haliang could react to it, Xiaoxiao Sheng caught Ou Yangming and put him down gently. “He fell asleep.”

Yu Hailiang and the soldiers behind him looked at each other. They wondered when they looked at Ou Yangming, who was dead asleep and could not be woken up even if there was thunder, then looked at the head of the Yang Grade powerhouse.

'What exactly happened in these past seven days…
