I'm not a drama god

This was the first sacred site Chen Ling entered, and also the place where he first met Jian Changsheng.

Chen Ling had thought that with his calamity-ridden body, he would never have the chance to step into other ancient divine treasures again, but unexpectedly, he had entered in this way again at this moment...

Fate is truly unpredictable.

Unlike the others, Chen Ling did not go to the ten-person pits for combat training. After everyone had basically dispersed, he set off alone and walked straight in one direction.

His figure weaved through the rugged terrain, skillfully avoiding the patrol routes of all the menacing figures. This wasn't Chen Ling's first time at the Ancient Military Cave; he knew where to go to avoid those troublesome projections of killing intent…

Ultimately, he's just an ordinary person in this body; if a fight breaks out, he'll probably die here.

Chen Ling continued on her way until a tall sign stood on the ground.

—The trial boundary is closed; proceeding forward is strictly prohibited.

Chen Ling ignored it completely.

Ten-person graves, hundred-person graves, thousand-person graves, ten-thousand-person graves...

The deeper you go, the lower the temperature becomes. The chilling killing intent feels like fine needles constantly pricking your skin, making you feel uncomfortable all over.

According to Liu Qingyan's intelligence, that person saw Jian Changsheng at the location of the mass grave, which is located at the deepest part of the ancient military cemetery... Even Chen Ling had never gone that deep before.

"Have we reached the mass grave yet..." Chen Ling's gaze swept across the surroundings.

"Go a little further in, and we should arrive soon."

At this point, Chen Ling had exhausted his memory of the route, and he could only rely on his senses to continue deeper into the ancient military tunnel.

But the deeper they went, the stronger the killing intent became. Chen Ling could even feel her body trembling. Every step was extremely taxing, and her steps became heavy, as if she were in a quagmire.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind!

Chen Ling was startled, and relying on his fighting instincts from his memories, he lunged forward without hesitation... A chill ran down his spine.

The boy fell to the ground in a sorry state and immediately looked back. He saw a tall, menacing projection holding a long sword, standing behind him. The blade gleamed coldly in the dim light. If Chen Ling had been even a fraction slower, the boy would probably have been beheaded on the spot.

Oh no, have these murderous projections discovered us?

The thought flashed through Chen Ling's mind, her gaze becoming extremely solemn. This place was already close to the location of the mass grave, and the distribution of the killing intent projections was extremely dense. If she was not careful, she would be discovered.

Chen Ling did not linger in the fight, but turned and ran immediately. The killing intent projection at this location was far superior to that of those on the periphery; crushing an ordinary person would be a piece of cake for them.

But the murderous projection behind him didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go. Holding a long sword, it chased after him at lightning speed!

The boy's physical abilities were not strong, so Chen Ling could only rely on his size advantage to constantly weave through the narrow crevices in the rocks, barely dodging the attacks of the murderous projection.

However, the commotion caused by the murderous projections was too great. More and more murderous projections were attracted by the sound and converged here, leaving Chen Ling with less and less space to escape...

At that moment, in the reflection of Chen Ling's pupils, an enormous, deep pit was gradually approaching before his eyes.

Clang——

Two more murderous projections drew their swords and charged from both sides.

These two murderous projections, along with the numerous figures chasing Chen Ling from behind, had completely blocked his retreat. His mind raced, and with a determined effort, he leaped forward with all his might!

His figure almost grazed past the two long swords, rolling down the edge of the sloping pit, raising clouds of dust.

Because the pit was so large and the slope so long, Chen Ling rolled around for a long time, until she was covered in bruises, but still couldn't reach the bottom. On the contrary, the several murderous projections outside the pit also jumped down carrying knives, their feet kicking up dust as they approached Chen Ling.

Chen Ling looked down and saw that the countless projected figures, resembling stone terracotta warriors, in the mass grave seemed to sense his approach and abruptly turned their heads, with a million eyes simultaneously focusing on Chen Ling alone...

That overwhelming killing intent, almost solidified, soared into the sky from the deep pit!

Ahead lay a million menacing figures, behind them pursued soldiers wielding long swords;

The boy rolled down the slope like a stone, about to fall into the murderous aura and be torn to pieces, but instead of despair, Chen Ling's eyes shone with a faint light!

He took a deep breath and shouted with all his might:

"—Spade!!!"

Ding--

A jet-black sword aura swept across the land in an instant.

The ancient killing intent of the eighth-tier peak, like a ghostly crescent moon, filled the entire pit of a million people... Chen Ling, an ordinary person, felt as if the hairs on her body were about to stand on end, and a suffocating sense of oppression enveloped her entire body!

At this moment, every muscle in Chen Ling's body trembled from the oppressive force emanating from this sword.

At the same time, the millions of murderous projections that were stirring in the deep pit suddenly stopped.

Neat sword marks silently appeared on their necks.

With a soft rustling sound, their bodies, formed from killing intent, rapidly disintegrated, dissipating into nothingness like black smoke... Millions of black shadows gathered together, almost turning the entire sky black.

Not only were the million killing intent projections in front of Chen Ling decapitated at the same time, but even the several killing intent projections chasing after him were also beheaded. Only Chen Ling's body remained unmarked, as if the sword energy had deliberately bypassed him.

Waaaaah—

The howling wind swept through the deep pit, gradually dispersing the thick, murderous black smoke.

Coughing, Chen Ling staggered to her feet, her gaze fixed on the direction from which the sword had come... Amidst the drifting dust, black ribbons fluttered silently, and a young figure clad in armor, sword in one hand, slowly walked toward them.

Upon seeing that familiar figure, a smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Ling's face.

"finally……"

"Got you."

Chen Ling stared at the figure, countless questions surging in his mind. He immediately spoke, "Black Spade, all these years, what exactly have you been doing...?"

Ding--!

Before Chen Ling could finish speaking,

A sword blade, gleaming with a chilling light and carrying a terrifying killing intent that made one's breath suffocate, was pressed against Chen Ling's throat!

Chen Ling's mouth was still open when he suddenly froze... He looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face in front of him, his pupils contracting slightly.

"I thought it was some fool who got lost and didn't know what was going on... Turns out it's you..." The figure's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold voice echoed in Chen Ling's ears.

"Chen Ling..."

"It's been a long time..."
