Chapter 2092: 2092: [Two Martial Artists of Unknown Origin]

The replica of the Shennong Tripod, transformed from its true body! Inside this Black Gold Mysterious Iron house, they were everywhere, all identical in appearance. Regardless of size, or the patterns on the tripods, everything was exactly the same, with roughly thousands of tripods!

According to the information obtained by the Old Madman Bai, each person who enters here has only one chance to take a tripod. Whether they choose the correct one or not, they will never be able to enter this place again, because the Magic Law of the entire Formation space will repel those who have already been here. This is why the Old Madman Bai is cautious, knowing that this is his only chance to enter here after so many years!

Ultimately, a choice must be made. Although the Old Madman Bai cherished this chance, he had no effective way to discern. Being a decisive person, he released a powerful Divine Thought, and unexpectedly, a tripod at the center of the pile autonomously flew into the air, bringing great joy to the Old Madman Bai, who considered it his fortune and blessing. Immediately, he reached out with a Martial Arts True Qi conjured hand to grab the tripod!

Ye Tianchen initially had no intention of choosing a tripod. In his view, he had no involvement in the art of refining pills at all. Even if he obtained a tripod, it would be useless to him. Moreover, it seemed that the Old Madman Bai had obtained the replica of the Shennong Tripod transformed from its true body, making Ye Tianchen feel even less compelled to take a tripod!

However, the Old Madman Bai informed Ye Tianchen that every Martial Artist, no matter how powerful, only has one chance in their lifetime to enter here. To be placed here among the replicas transformed from the true body of the Shennong Tripod, the tripods here are not ordinary, much stronger than typical pill refining tripods, and even if Ye Tianchen couldn’t use it himself, he could gift it to someone else. Taking one is better than taking nothing!

Indeed, this reasoning made sense, but Ye Tianchen had no insight into these pill-refining tripods. He could not differentiate between them. When the Old Madman Bai suggested he check the center of the pile of tripods, Ye Tianchen casually picked up a tripod at his feet, which made the Old Madman Bai exasperatedly say:

"What were you thinking? Even if you couldn’t obtain a replica transformed from the true body of the Shennong Tripod, you shouldn’t just casually pick any old tripod. Look at the one in your hand; not only is it covered in dust, but it also seems to have cracks, with no energy fluctuation at all. Clearly, it’s not even a replica of the Shennong Tripod, much less comparable to the most ordinary Alchemy Furnace!"

"Senior, I truly have no understanding of this path of Alchemy, so be it!" Ye Tianchen said with a broad smile, showing great equanimity.

Buzz!

Just after Ye Tianchen picked up the tripod, before he and the Old Madman Bai could exchange more words, the entire house made of Black Gold Mysterious Iron was filled with a surge of Magic Law power. Neither Ye Tianchen nor the Old Madman Bai resisted; they let this Magic Law carry them away. When they reappeared, they found themselves in a different scene.

"We’ve actually returned to the outskirts of the little market!" Ye Tianchen looked around and said.

"Yes, we started from here, and our subconscious is here, so the Magic Law of the Black Gold Mysterious Iron house has sent us here!" the Old Madman Bai nodded and said.

Ye Tianchen glanced around, then frowned and said, "Didn’t I tell Princess Zi Xuan and Tu Qiuyu to wait for me here? Why are they not here?"

"They should be around here somewhere; let’s go look!" the Old Madman Bai suggested.

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the nearby forest. Ye Tianchen and the Old Madman Bai exchanged glances and then vanished from their original spots. When they arrived at the source of the noise, they saw Princess Zi Xuan shielding Tu Qiuyu behind her, swinging the flute in her hand to fight back, because in front of them, two powerful Martial Artists were threatening them!

"I advise you to hand over the little girl to us; otherwise, you will face annihilation!" One of the Martial Artists said coldly, looking at Princess Zi Xuan.

"Hmph, you’re overly confident. You two can’t kill me!" Princess Zi Xuan snorted coldly.

"That’s because you refuse to listen to reason. Don’t blame us for being impolite then!" The other Martial Artist said as he stepped forward towards Princess Zi Xuan.

Both Martial Artists boasted a Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, making them quite formidable. Princess Zi Xuan was also at a Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation, but taking on two strong opponents at once while also protecting Tu Qiuyu was indeed a challenging task!

"Where did these two Martial Artists come from? Their cultivation levels don’t seem low!" the Old Madman Bai observed from a distance.

"Haha, with our combat strength, old senior and I can kill them!" Ye Tianchen said with a relaxed smile.

"That’s right, let’s make a move then!" The Old Madman Bai immediately charged forward!

Ye Tianchen glanced at the Old Madman Bai, although he didn’t know much about the old madman’s background, it was clear he wasn’t someone with complex scheming. Seeing Princess Zi Xuan and Tu Qiuyu in danger, he charged ahead without hesitation. In such a situation, Ye Tianchen naturally wouldn’t stand by idly, so he too rushed into battle!

But just as the old madman Bai Xiao was about to rush forward and make a move, one of the martial artists besieging Princess Zi Xuan pointed with his right hand, and a sword light shot towards Princess Zi Xuan, extremely sharp and fast. If Princess Zi Xuan hadn’t been prepared, this sword light would probably have shattered her and Tu Qiuyu!

It was because this sword light struck out that the old madman Bai Xiao, who was already close, suddenly stopped in his tracks, stunned on the spot. This made Ye Tianchen ask in confusion, "Senior, what’s the matter?"

"Nothing, nothing. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this, Brother Ye. You’ll have to resolve it yourselves. Once you’ve settled these two martial artists, I’ll come out. Rest assured, I will tell you everything you asked fully and truthfully!" The old madman Bai Xiao suddenly seemed a bit hesitant, even a bit worried as he spoke.

Whoosh!

Before Ye Tianchen could react, before he could speak, the old madman Bai Xiao had already turned and fled, disappearing into the forest, leaving Ye Tianchen feeling utterly confused, like a monk unable to grasp the situation. Why was that? Because, in Ye Tianchen’s view, the old madman Bai Xiao was also a daring person, why would he suddenly fear these two martial artists? Was there something in this world that could still scare such an old madman?

When Ye Tianchen regained his senses, the two martial artists were both wielding longswords, striking towards Princess Zi Xuan. Two sword lights slashed down at Princess Zi Xuan, who tightly protected Tu Qiuyu behind her. But at this time, the two martial artists struck out two more sword lights, very fast and very sharp!

Bang!

Before Princess Zi Xuan could make a move to resist them, finding it hard to fend off four hands with only two fists, a figure appeared in front of her and Tu Qiuyu, letting the two sword lights slash down without dodging or avoiding, just letting them strike his body!

"Big brother, you’re back!" Tu Qiuyu was the first to recognize Ye Tianchen, instantly becoming very happy.

"Yes, big brother knew there were bad people bullying you, so he came back!" Ye Tianchen smiled as he spoke to Tu Qiuyu.

"So quickly resolved?" Princess Zi Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"If I hadn’t resolved it quickly, what would you and Qiuqiu do if your lives were in danger?" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Hmph, just relying on these two people, I can handle them alone!" Princess Zi Xuan said disdainfully.

"Of course, naturally. I know you can handle it, but I just wanted to do it for you!" Ye Tianchen shook his head as he spoke.

Princess Zi Xuan glanced at Ye Tianchen, without saying much, though she knew full well that the cultivation realm of these two martial artists was at the Mid-stage Martial Saint. Given her strength, she might defeat one of them, but it was harder to defend against their joint attack. Besides, she had to protect Tu Qiuyu, which made it even harder. If Ye Tianchen hadn’t shown up at this moment, who knows how the situation would turn out!

Swish!

Swish!

Two sword lights slashed out directly attacking Ye Tianchen. These two martial artists were extremely aggressive, not saying much at all, which made Ye Tianchen a bit angry. These two martial artists were too dismissive of them!

Ye Tianchen faced these two powerful sword lights, furrowing his brows. However, with his physical body power, he could completely withstand them. He stepped forward, meeting the sword lights, astonishing the two martial artists who both frowned in disbelief!

Bang!

Bang!

The two sword lights fell on Ye Tianchen’s body but did not cause him any harm, astonishing the two martial artists, their eyes briefly surprised before quickly calming down!

"Such strong physical body power, indeed rare to see!" one of the martial artists spoke with a cold laugh.

"Just this physical body power is enough to rival the Destroying Heaven Divine Son, but he is not a match for our Divine Son, just a little character with a bit of strength!" the other martial artist said disdainfully looking at Ye Tianchen.
