Chapter 50: Nameless Powerhouse
“Where is it? Take us there now!”
Jiang Baishan was almost startled, and immediately realized what had happened.
There was a hint of shock in his eyes.
Then, others also thought of something, and rushed towards that side one by one, unable to restrain themselves.
Ning Qi felt a slight helplessness in his heart.
He naturally knew what it was. After killing the Flying Eagle earlier, he was in a hurry to provide support and did not have time to deal with his corpse. Now, it should have been discovered by a disciple.
His eyes flickered slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.
Soon.
The crowd appeared at the place where Ning Qi and Tie Ying had fought before.
Obvious traces made people gasp, the almost collapsed pavilion, and the crisscrossing marks on the ground, all indicated that the battle that had just occurred here was definitely at the Gang Yuan Realm level.
“A Gang Yuan Realm expert has infiltrated!”
“Was the River Dragon distracting us just now?”
Feinting to the East, Attacking to the West, the enemy’s intentions were clearly not small. Judging by this direction, it was exactly the necessary path to the Scripture Depository!
Wolf’s ambition!
They actually coveted the martial arts inheritance of the True Martial Sect!
Everyone was shocked and angry.
Then Ye Qinghe was the first to react.
“Just now, the Ground Tiger said, ‘How did the Second Brother die?’ Could it be… that the person in front of us is the Flying Eagle?”
Shock arose in everyone’s eyes.
A dignified Gang Yuan Realm expert, actually died just like that?
Xiong Shi squatted down.
He pulled off the mask of the corpse’s face, and immediately, a thin and sinister face appeared before everyone’s eyes. However, on this face, the wide-open eyeballs still retained fear and shock, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
“Is it the Flying Eagle?”
The others asked repeatedly.
Xiong Shi just frowned and slowly shook his head.
“I can’t tell.”
Suddenly.
He seemed to have thought of something, took a dagger from the waist of a nearby disciple, and with one cut, the black clothes of the corpse were torn open, revealing a faint pattern. Xiong Shi’s eyes lit up, and he pulled with both hands, revealing the pattern on the corpse’s back to everyone.
It was a fierce tiger descending the mountain, majestic and extraordinary, exuding a special charm.
Xiong Shi took a deep breath and said heavily:
“It is the Flying Eagle!”
Jiang Baishan asked:
“Second Senior Brother, how can you tell?”
Looking at the doubt in everyone’s eyes, Xiong Shi slowly said:
“You all know the Iron Ridge Three Fiends, but do you know their origins?”
Everyone shook their heads, but Ye Qinghe frowned and said:
“There are rumors that they are not biological brothers, but only came from a place called Iron Ridge and became sworn brothers later.”
Xiong Shi said:
“That’s right, it seems now, this rumor is not false.”
“These three people came out of Iron Ridge and had a fortuitous encounter, but they didn’t trust each other very much, which led to their sworn brotherhood. Not only that, but it is said that they obtained three martial arts related to Dragon-Tiger-Eagle, so they changed their names to Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Tie Ying.”
Ning Qi was staring at the Fierce Tiger True Intent Diagram in a daze. He had already seen that there was something profound in the Fierce Tiger Diagram. Once he sank his mind into it, the fierce tiger seemed to come alive, roaming in the mountains and forests, with every move containing the supreme principles of martial arts.
Hearing Xiong Shi’s words at this moment.
Ning Qi subconsciously asked:
“Senior Brother, do you mean this pattern is related to the Flying Eagle’s identity?”
Xiong Shi nodded and said:
“That’s right. These three brothers committed many evils and were even wary of each other. To prevent betrayal one day, they tattooed all three True Intent Diagrams they obtained onto their bodies.”
He paused here, with a playful look in his eyes.
“However—it wasn’t their own martial arts tattooed on themselves, but each tattooed on someone else.”
Everyone suddenly realized.
“So, on the Flying Eagle’s body are the martial arts of the other two fiends?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Overlord Tiger True Intent Diagram of the Ground Tiger!” Xiong Shi nodded, “In that case, the River Dragon would have the Sky Eagle True Intent Diagram on him, and the Ground Tiger would have the Mad Dragon True Intent Diagram.”
At this moment, everyone firmly believed that this person was the Flying Eagle. No wonder Tie Hu was so furious when he came up earlier, and even seemed reluctant to leave. The root of the matter was here.
The Flying Eagle died in the True Martial Sect, which meant that the Ground Tiger would be without his True Intent Diagram from now on.
It was no wonder he was furious.
A True Intent Diagram, unlike recorded martial arts, allowed one to reach a profound realm of martial arts more easily by constantly observing and comprehending it, and could even create different martial arts from it.
It was a treasure that could only be created by Heavenly Human Experts who had cultivated a certain martial art to an excellent level.
Everyone’s eyes were a little fiery.
This Overlord Tiger True Intent Diagram is a good treasure!
But immediately.
Jiang Baishan’s words made everyone’s bodies tremble.
“Then… who killed the Flying Eagle?”
They were too focused on confirming the Flying Eagle’s identity earlier and had forgotten this important matter.
Who was fighting the Flying Eagle, and who had slain him here?
Jiang Baishan’s eyes were deep.
He was the only Gang Yuan Realm expert present, so he naturally saw more clearly. He had been observing the nearby combat traces. Now, he squatted down, stroked the two wounds on Tie Ying’s chest and neck, and took a deep breath, saying:
“If I’m not mistaken, the Flying Eagle was instantly killed by this Nameless expert with one sword! Even without the sword on his neck, the Flying Eagle would have died.”
He felt immense pressure.
He had been constantly imagining, if he were in the Flying Eagle’s position, he would probably not fare any better, it would just be a matter of one or two swords.
The sudden appearance of such a Sword Dao expert on True Martial Mountain made him feel a little uneasy.
Everyone was silent.
Shocked in their hearts.
Although the Iron Ridge Three Fiends had a bad reputation, their strength was real. Gang Yuan Realm experts were among the top masters in the entire Qingzhou, but now one had been easily killed, showing how powerful the attacker was.
“Could it be other people who infiltrated our True Martial Sect?”
As this thought arose, everyone felt immense pressure.
But immediately a disciple came to report:
“All Senior Brothers, there are no signs of intrusion at the Scripture Depository, nor are there any traces of combat elsewhere.”
Everyone looked at each other.
If this Nameless expert truly harbored malicious intent, then no one in the True Martial Sect could stop him, and places like the Scripture Depository could be entered and exited freely, unless their Master came out of seclusion.
But now, there was no movement, which meant that this Nameless expert most likely had no malicious intent.
“You say… is it possible that this Nameless expert is the hidden foundation of our True Martial Sect? He discovered the Flying Eagle’s infiltration and took action to kill him.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
They automatically imagined an old Daoist with an elegant demeanor.
“Very possible! Otherwise, there’s no explanation!”
Seeing the increasingly excited expressions on the faces of his Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, and many disciples, Ning Qi looked up from the Fierce Tiger True Intent Diagram, his face looking a bit strange.
