Chinese martial arts! Young Grandmaster

Chapter 23 Wukui City

call……!
  Chen Jie looked ahead and took a deep breath.

At this moment, he became more and more cautious.

Outside the city wall near the ruins, gray fog shrouded the city, and there were many patrolling 'rigor mortis' wandering around.

These 'rigor mortis' are very similar to the 'zombie zombies' that Chen Jie encountered and killed before.

but,

a large amount!

The aura emanating from these ‘rigor mortis’ bodies.

It can be felt that their strength is one level stronger than those that Chen Jie killed before.

Chen Jie approached one of the outermost 'rigor mortis' and felt a fatal threat.

Chen Jie saw two huge characters on the city wall, which were extremely clear in the gray fog.

After ten minutes,
  Chen Jie dodged left and right, keeping a distance from the patrolling rigor mortis.

I saw two huge stone lions at the city gate, majestic.

do not know!
  Shrouded in gray fog, Chen Jie's sight was only about fifty meters away.

How big is it?

at this time,

Their warning zone will not be triggered unless you are within ten meters of them.

This ancient city was looming in the thick fog, making it impossible to see the whole thing clearly.

As he got closer to the city wall, the oppressive atmosphere became even more breathtaking.

As long as you stay away, it's safe.

These 'rigor mortis' wandering around the city walls, their warning area is not large.

Chen Jie carefully hid under the stone lion's body, raised his head and looked at the city wall and gate carefully.

Then,

There is one thing to be thankful for.

Therefore,
  If you want to get close to the city wall, you must be very careful not to touch these 'rigor mortis' warning areas.

"No way? Wukui City! Could it be that the word 'Wukui' on the 'Blood Jade Pendant' represents this city?"

Wu Kui!

Buzz…!
  this moment,
  Chen Jie's mind felt like a storm was roaring.

He came to the city gate.

However, looking at the size of the city wall, this ancient city should be quite large.

at last,

The words "武kui" on the city wall are like the finishing touch.

The surrounding thick fog actually began to gradually dissipate at this moment.

call……!
  After seeing this, Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath, climbed to the top of the stone lion, and looked up at the city in front of him.

hiss……!
  When I saw the city wall spreading into the distance, it looked like a giant dragon crawling on the ground.

Chen Jie was extremely shocked.

This scene reminded Chen Jie of those costume movies played on TV.

Only the Royal Palace has such a towering wall, which is impregnable.

Compared with the palace on TV, the city in front of us is much larger...!
  What kind of dynasty city is this?

Chen Jie lowered his head and began to think deeply, his heart filled with shock.

During this time, he crammed in some historical knowledge.

but,

Any dynasty seems to be somewhat different from the dream.

It was really hard for him to imagine how such a strong city wall could be completely burned by a fire.

What exactly happened?
  Chen Jie saw that the city wall was pitch black and there were burnt marks everywhere.

It's even conceivable.

The entire city was burned to the ground on a dark night.

The thick fog in the sky seemed to be the screams of countless wronged souls, making whimpering sounds.

Chen Jie stood on top of the stone lion at the gate of the city wall, and suddenly felt so small. Boom...!
  At this moment, the memory in his mind seemed to be triggered.

The miserable scenes and the despairing fire made Chen Jie feel heavier and heavier.

perhaps……

In "Lu Danian's" memory, the "Xingyi Sect" was massacred by everyone, which was only an insignificant part of the major events in "Wukui City".

What was destroyed now was not a martial arts sect, but an entire magnificent city.

What exactly happened?
  A city was actually massacred?
  The city is burning with countless wronged souls!
  "Wukui! It's the title given to the person who wins the first place in the ancient martial arts examination. It can also be called a martial arts examiner, and even includes the number one scholar in martial arts!"

"In addition to the 'Xingyi Sect', this Wukui City should also include other martial arts sects."

"Why did the imperial court burn this city down? What happened to the other remaining sects?"

"Damn! What kind of world is this? Are there any living people?"

"Is this a dream or is it real?"

"Why can the memory I acquired be passed down as a martial arts power...?"

Chen Jie's mind was once again confused and filled with doubts.
  What is the origin of the ‘blood jade pendant’?
  Why can I enter this dream?
  What is the truth behind the destruction of the entire 'Wukui City'?
  call……!
  Chen Jie took a deep breath and climbed down from the top of the stone lion at the gate of the city wall.

Next,
  He ducked and walked towards the gate of the city wall.

If you want to know the truth of the matter, you can only enter Wukui City...

But soon, Chen Jie gave up and entered through the main entrance.

no way,
  At the main entrance of the city wall, two teams of officers and soldiers stood majestically, making it impossible to get close.

Even at a distance of twenty meters,
  The aura emanating from the city guards made Chen Jie feel suffocated.

After a while,

Chen Jie avoided the patrolling guards around him and went to the edge of the city wall. He found a small hole that was only about half a meter high and could barely crawl through.

If nothing else, this small hole should be a 'dog hole'!
  Chen Jie didn't mind climbing the dog hole very much.

But when he entered the city wall from the dog hole, he was suddenly shocked.

Thirty meters away in front of me, I saw a lot of 'rigor mortis' wandering around that gave off extremely terrifying auras.

Even at such a long distance and without triggering their warning zones, Chen Jie felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

"Entering Wukui City, the strength of 'rigor mortis' inside is obviously much stronger!"

"What kind of masters were they before they were alive?"

"'Lu Danian' is the sixth generation true disciple of the Xingyi Sect, and his strength is definitely not bad!"

"Now it seems that I was able to kill 'Lu Danian'. Apart from the sneak attack, the most important reason is that 'Lu Danian' was too seriously injured at the moment before his death. He lost his fighting consciousness."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to succeed easily...!"

call……!
  Chen Jie sighed secretly.

Every 'rigor mortis' will retain a part of its 'combat consciousness'.

However, how much they retain depends on their condition during their lifetime.

The most important reason why Chen Jie was able to easily kill 'Lu Danian' with a sneak attack was that the opponent had lost consciousness and was seriously injured before his death, so his sense of fighting had almost disappeared.

At this time, the "rigor mortis" faced by Chen Jie clearly retained much more "combat consciousness" than "Lu Danian" did.

Therefore,
  After Chen Jie got close to them, he could feel a strong sense of crisis.

Next,
  Chen Jie kept a distance from these 'rigor mortis'.

The range of each rigor mortis warning zone is different.

The stronger the 'rigor mortis', the wider the warning zone and the longer the distance.

After Chen Jie's constant close tests, no matter how powerful these 'rigor mortis' were.

As long as you stay away from them for twenty meters, their warning zone will not be touched.

Chen Jie entered the city through the "dog hole" in the city wall, and along the city wall, he kept avoiding the "rigor mortis" around him.

He was very careful and always controlled the distance from the rigor mortis to avoid triggering their warning zone.

Half an hour later,

Chen Jie successfully arrived on the street in the city.

"The streets are paved with marble, and the surrounding houses have unique structures."

"It seems that Wukui City was very prosperous back then!"

Chen Jie looked up at the street in front of him and sighed.
