Chapter 401: Legend of the City of the Dead

"But this despair sword intent is really powerful."

"At the very least, he's in the middle to late stages of the Guanlan Realm, right?"

Liang Jin had a basic judgment in his mind.

The power of the desperate sword intent released by the eldest senior brother was far beyond his imagination, and was obviously a little higher than his own dawn fist intent.

Yu Linglong once said that martial arts are divided into different levels, and Guanlan Realm is the most basic stage.

Liang Jin has only recently mastered the Dawn Breaking Fist and is currently at the early stage of the Guanlan Realm.

During the fierce battle with his eldest brother, he deeply felt the breath of despair that was blowing in his face. It was always with him, making the despair in his heart difficult to dissipate for a long time.

As Liang Jin used the Dawn Fist, although it dispelled most of the despair, it still could not completely eliminate it. A faint sense of despair lingered in his heart.

This negative emotion affected his fighting spirit to a certain extent, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength in battle.

However, although the eldest brother has a strong sword intent, his cultivation level is low and his overall strength is insufficient, so he is destined to be defeated by Liang Jin.

"It seems that I have to hurry up and improve my boxing skills."

Liang Jin's eyes were determined, and he secretly made up his mind:
"Fortunately, improving my boxing skills doesn't take too much time for me."

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a hint of confidence appeared in his eyes.

Thanks to the magical existence of [Nine Sky Boundless], Liang Jin can constantly fight with others here, thereby quickly improving his boxing skills.

However, the number of warriors currently pulled into [Nine Sky Boundless] is too small. If the number can be increased, his boxing skills will improve faster.

Liang Jin looked around at the empty [Nine Sky Boundless].

He knew very well that a new level would be added here soon.

The warriors have already figured out the moves of the war puppet Huang Xingzi, and he can now be easily defeated.

The newly emerged Seven-Star Sword Formation of War Puppet is unpredictable, and the swordsmanship of the seven war puppets is elegant and agile. When the two are combined, the number of permutations and combinations of moves is enormous.

It is not easy for warriors to fully understand the secrets.

"Unfortunately, the secret manual of "Crazy Blade" doesn't seem to be suitable for me."

Liang Jin shook his head slightly and sighed inwardly.

These days, in [Nine Sky Boundless], he tried many times to practice "Mad Blade", but he was never able to truly master it.

Once he unleashes the "Mad Blade", he will fall into a state of extreme madness, with only endless desire for killing in his heart, and all other distracting thoughts disappearing completely.

Half a day later, when he woke up from this crazy state, he found that he had exited the state of "Mad Blade", but he had no memory of what happened during this period.

The only clear feeling I had was that at that time I only wanted to kill, constantly looking for all living things and killing them all.

It is widely said that once the "Crazy Blade" is used, the user will go crazy and not recognize any relatives. Even facing their own parents, they will not hesitate to swing the knife at them.

After Liang Jin experienced it personally, he believed it without a doubt.

In order to resist this madness, Liang Jin tried to use [Si Mian].

After putting on the [Si Mask], he was able to keep a clear mind and was no longer controlled by the desire to kill.

However, in this way, he felt that he could not fully unleash the true power of "Crazy Blade".

According to Ximo Liuyuan, when "Crazy Blade" is cultivated to perfection, its power may even surpass the earth-level secret book.

But when Liang Jin used "Crazy Blade" while relying on [Si Mian] to stay awake, he felt that it was just an ordinary earth-level secret book.

Even among the earth-level secret books, it can only be regarded as a relatively low-end existence.

"It seems that only when in a state of madness can the true power of the Mad Blade be unleashed."

"If you stay awake, the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced."

Liang Jin sighed helplessly and no longer had high expectations for "Crazy Blade".

However, he did not think Liu Yuan was deceiving him.

After all, Hualong's clone also confirmed the power of "Crazy Blade" from Yu Linglong.

"Since the Mad Blade cannot be used by me, I will use it to hone my martial arts skills."

"If it can really reduce the probability of a martial spirit going astray, then it would be quite useful to me."

Liang Jin soon came up with a new plan in his mind.

Yu Linglong once mentioned that there is an unconfirmed rumor that by practicing "Crazy Blade", the probability of martial arts going astray can be reduced.

However, it is difficult for most people to practice "Crazy Blade" regularly.

But Liang Jin possesses the [Nine Boundaries], where he can practice dozens or even hundreds of times a day.

So Liang Jin started practicing "Crazy Blade" several times.

Using "Crazy Blade" seems easy, but once it is activated, you will lose consciousness, and when you wake up, the training is over.

But in reality, it consumes a lot of energy from the user, causing great damage both physically and mentally.

Liang Jin once chose a remote and deserted place in the real world and tried to use "Crazy Blade".

After using it, he felt exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained away, and the ground around him was covered with dense knife marks.

It's not hard to imagine how frantic he was while using the Mad Blade, using every blow with all his might, which resulted in him being so weak afterward. Since then, Liang Jin has never used the Mad Blade again in the real world, instead focusing solely on training within the Nine Sky Boundless Realm.

Even if used in this spiritual space, the mental drain is still huge.

Therefore, Liang Jin only practiced a few times and then ended his training.

He exited [Nine Sky Boundless] and returned to the real world.

After a short rest, he continued his journey with Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu.

………………

On a government road somewhere, a group of people were resting.

This group of people were all dressed in the black uniforms of the Six Gates, with swords on their waists, looking very majestic.

Every time they stood there, they exuded an oppressive aura of murderous intent. It was obvious at a glance that they were the elite forces among the Six Gates.

In the middle of this group of people, there was a seemingly inconspicuous carriage parked.

However, judging by the importance everyone attached to this carriage, the people in the carriage must be of extremely noble status.

A man stood respectfully beside the carriage.

His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, showing his heroic spirit, with a high and straight nose and clear lip lines.

He was tall and well-proportioned, with broad shoulders and back. He was wearing a special suit made by the Six Gates, which was mainly black. The lapels were embroidered with a golden flying eagle pattern, which added a bit of majesty.

If Liang Jin, Lei Zhen and his companions were here, they would definitely recognize that this person was Li Muyun, the leader of the Changzhou Six Gates, who had fought against them before.

Li Muyun is in charge of the six gates in a state and holds great power. He is extremely powerful in Changzhou.

But even so, he appeared extremely respectful and humble as he stood beside the carriage.

He bent down slightly and spoke to the carriage:
"Master Constable, the great thief Song Jiang is a fourth-rank warrior. He is insidious and cunning. I don't know where he learned the Six Gates' "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" technique. He often uses it to conceal his own cultivation level and is also good at using small favors to buy people's hearts."

"Back in Zhongsong County, my Six Gates mistakenly arrested him as a common thief. When he was about to be executed, he suddenly revealed his true power and abducted a group of thieves from the execution ground. Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu, who later followed Song Jiang, were among those thieves."

"Song Jiang also has a divine eagle as his helper. This eagle is enormous, with a copper beak and iron claws. It is extremely powerful and probably has the strength of a fourth-grade eagle. There is also a girl sitting on the eagle's back. She is skilled in throwing spears and never misses. She must be the eagle trainer who specially tamed this eagle."

"At the time, I was facing a pincer attack from the great thief Song Jiang and the Divine Condor, as well as a siege from the Black Jade Stronghold bandits Dong Xiong and others, and Lei Zhen. In that dire situation, in order to protect a number of important court officials, I had no choice but to negotiate with them."

"Now that you are here in person, I will serve you wholeheartedly, charging into battle and capturing the great thief Song Jiang with all my might!"

Li Muyun's detailed explanation was simply to make it clear to the famous detective in the car that he had negotiated with the bandits not because of his own lack of ability, but because the enemy was too powerful and he had no choice.

After Li Muyun finished speaking, there was no response from inside the carriage for a long time.

This made him feel uneasy, and he secretly wondered if he had said something wrong.

After a while, a deep male voice finally came from the carriage:

"Everything you said is recorded in the Six Gates' files."

"It's basically the same as not saying anything."

"I just want to ask you about something that's not in the file, such as Song Jiang's background."

"Where is he from, where did he learn his craft, who is his master, and what are his details?"

This series of questions, like a series of artillery shells, caught Li Muyun off guard.

He couldn't answer a single question, and the atmosphere instantly fell into an awkward silence.

A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Muyun's forehead unconsciously.

In fact, he had already sent people to investigate Song Jiang's background.

However, all the clues were cut off as soon as they reached Zhongsong County.

The earliest trace of Song Jiang was at the execution ground in Zhongsong County, where he was treated as an unknown thief who stole government grain and was about to be beheaded.

Going back further, there is no clue about Song Jiang, as if this person appeared out of thin air.

Li Muyun naturally understood that a living person could not appear out of thin air. This could only mean that there was a problem with the direction of his investigation, which also meant that he had failed in his duty.

Only to hear another harsh questioning voice in the carriage:
"Can't you answer this question?"

Li Muyun was shocked when he heard this.

He slammed down and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy:

"I have failed in my duty! Please give me a little more time, sir. I will investigate Song Jiang's entire ancestry thoroughly!"

It is indeed a serious dereliction of duty to be unable to even find out the basic information of the criminals to be arrested.

Li Muyun knew this very well and did not dare to deny it.

I only heard a cold snort in the car, and then said:

"Then let me change the question."

"Recently, a legend about the City of the Wrongly Dead has appeared in Changzhou."

"Are you aware of this?"
