The Legend of the Immortals Prequel: Wilderness Journey
The Vermilion Bird's black veil obscured her face, so others naturally could not see the changes in her expression at this moment. However, it was evident that this young woman was extremely irritated, continuously waving her hands in frustration. At the same time, her bright eyes revealed an unreserved disgust as she looked at Zeng Shuchang, as if he were a foul-smelling wild dog.
"Are you even human? How can you smell this bad?"
Zeng Shuchang was furious, jumping up and disregarding his injuries, pointing at the Vermilion Bird and shouting, "Who are you cursing? You're the one who's not human!"
The Vermilion Bird snorted coldly, suddenly seeming to think of something. She looked at Zeng Shuchang with some suspicion and said, "I've heard from some ancient sects in Middle-earth that there are often strange and bizarre techniques. Could it be that you've practiced some stinky skill?"
Before Zeng Shuchang could defend or refute himself, she shook her head first and snorted again, saying, "That's really disgusting. Are you practicing a fart technique?"
Zeng Shuchang was so enraged that his face turned pale, nearly spitting out blood. He grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at her before charging forward again.
However, although the Vermilion Bird sounded young, her skills and abilities were indeed formidable, and the two engaged in combat once more.
Soon, the Vermilion Bird gained the upper hand again. This time, however, it was somewhat different from before; she clearly detested the foul odor emanating from Zeng Shuchang and did not want to get close at all. Even if her palm touched him slightly, she was unwilling. As they fought on, Zeng Shuchang became somewhat reckless.
This scene appeared quite unsightly to those watching nearby, and several people shook their heads.
After observing for a while, Ten Thousand Swords in One stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Zeng, come back."
With a burst of energy, Zeng Shuchang pushed back the Vermilion Bird with his foul odor and retreated to stand beside Ten Thousand Swords in One. His companions Tian Buyi and Shang Zhengliang caught him and examined him briefly before shaking their heads at Ten Thousand Swords in One, indicating that Zeng Shuchang was not seriously injured. Only then did Ten Thousand Swords in One breathe a sigh of relief and turn to face the Vermilion Bird.
Facing Ten Thousand Swords in One, Zhuque became noticeably more cautious, as if she understood that this person was different from others, revealing a hint of apprehension in her eyes.
Since ancient times, righteousness and evil have never coexisted. The Azure Cloud Sect and the Demon Cult had long established a deep-seated enmity, so Ten Thousand Swords in One had no intention of conversing with Zhuque or asking foolish questions like "Why did you injure my junior brother?" It was normal for the righteous sects of Middle-earth to clash with the Demons; it would be strange for them to engage in friendly banter.
He raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly, relaxed his arms, and a green light began to glow beside him as the Dragon Slayer Sword slowly emerged from its sheath. At the same time, a buzzing sound akin to the chirping of insects spread from the Dragon Slayer Sword, as if this renowned sword was also somewhat excited.
The sword had not yet been drawn, but its aura had already manifested. The emerald brilliance burst forth, sending out waves of sharp energy that radiated into the surroundings.
Zhuque's black veil fluttered lightly, and a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes as she gazed at Ten Thousand Swords in One, her expression growing more guarded. After a moment, she suddenly let out a clear whistle and retreated, vanishing behind the Sand Wall deep within the Sand Dance Maze in an instant, moving swiftly as if she intended to escape quickly.
Ten Thousand Swords in One did not expect Zhuque to retreat without a fight; he was momentarily taken aback. He took a few steps forward to pursue her but then turned back to look at his junior brothers. After pondering for a moment, he decided to return.
Azure Pine and Tian Buyi approached him. Azure Pine asked, "Senior Brother, why didn't you chase her?"
Ten Thousand Swords in One replied, "This Sand Dance Maze is quite peculiar and is the territory of the Demon Cult; there may be all sorts of strange things here. Although we are not afraid of her, there is no need to provoke trouble. Let her go; we did not come here to quarrel with her. Let's focus on our journey and pass through this Sand Dance Maze first."
Tian Buyi and the others nodded in agreement. Azure Pine appeared somewhat hesitant, but since he always held great respect for Wan Shixiong, he ultimately decided to follow Ten Thousand Swords in One.
This Sand Dance Maze covered an extensive area and seemed endless at first glance. To pass through it quickly, Ten Thousand Swords in One and his companions summoned their magical artifacts to fly through the air, hoping to traverse it from above.
Even if there are numerous traps and dangers within the maze, if I fly over you from above, you should be powerless against me, right?
However, this Barbaric Desert indeed had its peculiarities. After flying for quite some time, the five of them found that they had not managed to exit the bounds of the Sand Dance Maze. After several confirmations, they were shocked to discover that their flight path seemed to be nothing more than circling endlessly in mid-air.
This was certainly not good news, so upon sensing something was amiss, Ten Thousand Swords in One decisively called a halt to several junior brothers. After some discussion among the five of them, they ultimately decided to land and began walking through the maze in search of an exit.
The reason for this decision was largely due to Zhuque, the demonic cult enchantress, who seemed to have never flown but had always been walking through the maze.
After walking steadily for a while, the members of Azure Cloud Sect indeed felt something different. Although most areas of Sand Dance Maze appeared similar with their Sand Walls, there were still traces to follow. Moreover, these five were the most outstanding young disciples from Azure Cloud Sect, a prestigious sect with a long history. They were not only exceptional in their cultivation techniques but also had knowledge in other areas. In particular, Ten Thousand Swords in One and Azure Pine had remarkable skills in this regard.
Thus, after about an hour, they had nearly grasped some of the mysteries of this place. Their progress became much faster as they encountered fewer dead ends or wrong turns.
While walking, Azure Pine spoke up: "This should be a maze formed by natural means; I haven't seen any signs of manipulation by the Demonic Cult."
Shang Zhengliang looked at the peculiar Sand Walls around them and exclaimed, "The vastness of the earth truly holds countless wonders."
Tian Buyi added, "I really don't know how these Sand Wall mazes were formed. If it weren't for being occupied by the Demonic Cult Monster, it could truly be described as 'a work of divine craftsmanship.'"
At that moment, Ten Thousand Swords in One, who was leading the way, glanced around but frowned slightly and shook his head: "This Sand Dance Maze is probably not that simple."
Tian Buyi and the others were taken aback and asked, "Brother Wan, what do you mean by that?"
Just as Ten Thousand Swords in One was about to respond, his expression suddenly changed. He swiftly slapped his palm downwards; the gust from his hand was fierce enough to emit a sharp and brief whistle. The yellow sand on the ground immediately scattered. The others were startled and about to inquire when they suddenly saw a strange wide-headed insect emerge from the sand pile not far from Ten Thousand Swords in One's feet.
