Zi Chen didn't listen to Tyrant's persuasion. After getting the exact location of the market, he set off for it.
This was an extremely long road. If everything went smoothly, Zi Chen would be able to reach the market in a few months.
But Tyrant had clearly said that there would be a lot of bandits along the way. There were quite a few big and small factions. Even Dan Yuan old monsters might not be able to pass through smoothly. Therefore, Zi Chen's journey was destined to not be smooth.
The facts proved that this was indeed the case.
On the second day, Zi Chen encountered a group of bandits.
In the Bedlam Lands, those who could be called bandits were all Zephyrs. This group of six was clearly so. There was one late Zephyr, three mid Zephyr, and three early Zephyr.
The six surrounded Zi Chen, killing intent surging around them. The spirit weapons in their hands flickered with cold light.
Without saying much, a fierce battle broke out. This was the Bedlam Lands. Everything was based on robbery.
The fierce battle ended as quickly as it started. The six Zephyr bandits became cold corpses. Their spirit rings were taken away, and Zi Chen left unscathed.
For three days in a row, Zi Chen encountered bandits. After a fierce battle, all the bandits were killed, and not a single one was left alive. In addition, Zi Chen also made some small gains.
His consumption was astonishing. Extreme energy was like a bottomless pit. Even with tens of thousands of mid grade primordial stones, Zi Chen couldn't maintain it for long.
In these three days, he encountered quite a few Zephyr bandits. This gave birth to an idea in Zi Chen's mind.
After that, he changed his appearance, turning into the Virtuous Unfettered Cultivator. Bringing the Devil Ape with him, he cultivated at night and hurried along during the day. He swaggered without any intention of hiding his tracks.
During this period, whenever he found traces of bandits, he would deliberately stay for a while until the bandits appeared.
"Haha, a mere early Zephyr dares to come out alone. Simply courting death."
"Go, kill him."
The same words, the same sinister laughter, and the same scene played out almost every day.
Seeing the bandits, Zi Chen seemed to have turned into a demon, running to the world to reap life after life. All the bandits were killed, not a single one was left alive.
That was the rule of the Fringe. The strong lived and the weak died. And Zi Chen had displayed his ruthless and decisive side.
Zi Chen moved forward amidst the slaughter.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Zi Chen had encountered dozens of forces. All of them were Flight Users, and the number of Flight Users he had killed was uncountable.
During this month, Zi Chen cultivated at night and slaughtered during the day. As his realm steadily increased, his understanding of battle skills also deepened.
Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang, in particular, had made great progress. These were battle skills that even the lightning youth could not evolve. When he had obtained the inheritance, Zi Chen had clearly seen the scene of the heavens falling and the earth rending when these two battle skills were unleashed.
Apart from that, Zi Chen had finally comprehended the true essence of the first style of the Tyrannical Fist. He was now able to unleash a truly tyrannical punch that was extremely powerful.
After a month of fighting, Zi Chen had thoroughly grown tired of killing.
And so, during the second month, apart from a few bandit leaders or extremely vicious people, Zi Chen rarely killed anyone. Although he had let quite a few people go, he had to get the spirit rings. That was the main reason why Zi Chen had acted.
And the name of the Virtuous Unfettered Man also began to spread in the outer regions.
A mere early Flight User had the power of a peak Flight User, and he also possessed extreme speed. No matter how many people there were, they were unable to surround him.
The various deeds of the Virtuous Unfettered Man spread in the outer regions, to the point that the news seemed to have grown wings and spread to the depths.
For a moment, it caused the expressions of many bandits and unfettered people to change.
After a night of cultivation, Zi Chen opened his eyes at dawn. His eyes were flickering. It was time to go. He had been walking and stopping like this for the past two months.
Squeak, squeak.
On the side, seeing Zi Chen get up, the Devil Ape immediately jumped up and burrowed into Zi Chen's arms, continuing to rest.
"I wonder what kind of forces I'll run into this time." Zi Chen was filled with anticipation. Moving forward like this was also a kind of experience.
After flying for a short while, Zi Chen saw corpses on the ground. They were all flying, and there was still blood flowing out of their wounds. It was obvious that they had died not long ago, and their spirit rings had long been taken away.
"Two forces must have run into each other."
There were many wounds on the corpses, and they appeared to be in a mess. Moreover, they were left by different weapons. After checking the corpses, Zi Chen continued forward.
Not long after, he heard the sound of energy explosions in the distance. As he looked over, he saw many figures in the distance like small black dots.
By the time Zi Chen approached, the battle had already ended. It was a battle between two forces, and at this moment, one side had already lost all its members.
On the other side, there were still a dozen Flight Users covered in blood and surging with killing intent.
"Yes."
The leader was a black-robed man with a cold gaze and a powerful aura. After seeing Zi Chen, he frowned slightly.
"There's still a fish that escaped the net. I'll deal with him." A young man at the early stage of Flight User charged towards Zi Chen with a spirit weapon.
He was not an ordinary early stage Flight User. Before this, he had killed at least three existences of the same level. His battle strength was very strong, and he could face enemies of a higher level.
At this moment, the battle had ended, and there was still one remaining. He also wanted to show off his battle strength, and slashed towards Zi Chen with his spirit weapon.
Peng.
But in the next moment, Zi Chen punched out. Golden light flashed, and the spirit weapon exploded. The young man flew backwards, his eyes filled with shock. His life force gradually dissipated, and his spirit ring had already been taken away.
Instant kill.
"What?"
The others' expressions changed, and their eyes were filled with shock. To shatter a spirit weapon in one strike and kill an extraordinary expert of the same level, this battle strength was shocking.
Zi Chen stood in the air, his robes flashing. With a cold expression, he said, "Hand over the spirit ring, and I'll spare your lives."
"Stinky Daoist, you sure are confident. A mere early stage Flight User dares to boast shamelessly. Who do you think you are?"
A late stage Flight User shouted, his eyes flashing coldly. He held a long blade in his hand, and his body was stained with blood. It was obvious that he had killed many people.
The opponent could kill an early stage Flight User in one strike, so he was naturally not weak. At this moment, other than the late stage Flight User, the others did not dare to speak.
Zi Chen frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Stinky Daoist, die."
As soon as the words fell, killing intent surged, and the late stage Flight User charged towards Zi Chen.
A blade light like a waterfall fell from the sky, bringing with it a terrifying aura. The late stage powerhouse had a sinister smile on his face. His body was stained with blood, and there was a murderous aura on his body. With the same move, he had killed countless early stage Flight User existences.
But this time …
"Boom!"
Zi Chen threw out a punch. Golden light flashed, and the waterfall blade light was instantly shattered. At the same time, a golden light flashed in front of the late stage Flight User.
"Poof." With a soft sound, a head flew up, and the body of the late stage Flight User fell from the sky.
In a simple exchange, the late stage Flight User was killed.
"What? He killed a late stage Flight User in one move? How is this possible?" Everyone was shocked, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
The few late stage Flight User who had a mocking look on their faces before were even more shocked at this moment, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"You are not from the Flying Water Cave. Are you the Virtuous Loose Cultivator?" Suddenly, a horrified voice was heard.
The Flying Water Cave was the force that these dead Flight Users belonged to. It was a small force that was not worth mentioning, and it had been wiped out today.
They thought that the opponent was from the Flying Water Cave, but to be able to kill a late stage Flight User in one move, such a powerhouse was obviously not something that a small force like the Flying Water Cave could have.
"What? The Virtuous Loose Cultivator? The one who scared hundreds of Flight Users with his own strength?" Everyone exclaimed, their faces full of disbelief.
Recently, the Virtuous Loose Cultivator's reputation had spread. Almost every bandit force had heard of him. In the past two months, he had killed many Flight Users and created an undefeated legend. He was known as the invincible Flight User.
"Rumor has it that the Virtuous Loose Cultivator is only at the early stage of the Flight User, and he's not very old. He's wearing a Taoist robe …" Everyone looked at Zi Chen and found that he was very similar to the Virtuous Loose Cultivator in the rumors.
"Cut the crap. Hand over the Spirit Ring, and I'll spare your lives." Zi Chen's voice was cold as he looked down at everyone and repeated.
"It really is him. Heavens, I didn't expect him to appear here."
"Did he kill all the way from the outer area to here?"
The others were shocked. This was a true fiend. Who knew how many forces he had killed along the way?
"What arrogance. Virtuous Loose Cultivator, so what if you're invincible in the Flight User? Do you know which power we belong to?" The black-robed leader's expression changed as he shouted at Zi Chen.
"I don't care what power you belong to. I only recognize Spirit Rings. Hand over your Spirit Ring and you'll live. If you don't, you'll die." Zi Chen's voice was still cold.
"Hmph, we're from the Barbarian Bull Village, the strongest power in this region. There are several Core Nascent Core experts in our village. If you dare to rob us now, be careful that you won't be able to walk out of here alive," shouted the black-robed man.
"You're threatening me." Zi Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent.
"It's not a threat, it's a fact. If you dare to touch us, then an invincible Flight User won't be enough, unless you have an invincible Core Nascent Core." The black-robed man faced off against Zi Chen.
Zi Chen's lips suddenly curled into a smile. When it fully bloomed, it turned into a sinister grin. Zi Chen's figure disappeared into thin air.
"Not good!"
Seeing the Virtuous Loose Cultivator's figure suddenly disappear, the leader's expression immediately changed. He quickly dodged to the side.
"Pfft."
Golden light flashed, and blood spurted out. One of the leader's arms suddenly left his body and flew into the air.
"Damn it! You dare to touch the people of our Barbarian Bull Village? You're courting death." The leader covered his severed arm and shouted, "Kill! Kill him for me!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he looked around. There was no one left. The others had already run away.
What kind of joke was this? This was the Virtuous Loose Cultivator. With his power alone, he had forced hundreds of people to flee. Among them, there was no lack of powerful cave masters. At this moment, there were only a dozen of them. How could they dare to attack the Virtuous Loose Cultivator?
Looking at the fleeing figures, the leader's nose was about to become crooked from anger. He wanted to shout for them to come back.
