Towards Eternity
Ch 564's. Mid

Three days later passed after Weng Lou cleared the Fire Fox Demon.

He obtained a large enough Red Rice Metal from the special route and kept it for himself because he killed the demons alone. Qianren did not protest in the slightest, after all he was still quite happy with the jewel ring that Weng Lou gave him.

They spent two days traveling around the entire outer region of the labyrinth and clearing all the demons, beasts, and special routes that existed. Meanwhile, the other participants had reached midway to the center of the labyrinth. No one realized in the slightest, that the entire outer part of the labyrinth had been completely damaged and was filled with new paths created by Weng Lou by perforating the walls of the labyrinth.

Currently, the sun that was directly overhead indicated the time was already noon and many participants chose to rest their bodies. But can they really do it?

Now they had reached the middle of the road, and the number of ferocious beasts and demons that existed had been drastically reduced, as well as the special routes that existed. But the reduced number did not make the slightest sense of happiness or pleasure in the hearts of each participant. They actually feel more tormented and lamented because the difficulty of the labyrinth is getting up.

Every few hours they would definitely face off against a savage beast and their strength had now been above Foundation Base. The weakest ferocious beasts would be at the basic stage 1 Soul Cleansing realm and that was also the case with the demons. Their strength had actually increased surprisingly, their intelligence could not be underestimated anymore either.

Despite having time to rest, but these participants could not do it because they were worried about an ambush from wild beasts. Even the shadow of death was always with them, and they could all feel it.

*BUM!!!*

A heavy blow was unleashed and smashed the head of a red bull that had a body as big as ten times that of an adult. The bull's headless body staggered for a while before finally falling to the ground.

Blood flowed profusely from that headless neck, while Weng Lou walked past his body and immediately unleashed his next attack. He stomped his feet, and the ground in front of him shook. The other red bulls who were crashing towards him lost their balance and stopped crashing towards him.

Weng Lou made the most of this opportunity. He stepped forward, then caught one of the bull horns closest to him.

Weng Lou easily lifted the bull's body, then twisted it. After feeling enough, he threw the red bull's body towards the other bulls.

"MOOOOO!!!"

*bdebug!!* The collision between the bulls caused dust to fly in all directions. But Weng Lou didn't seem to be bothered by it.

"I'll leave it to you, Sister Qian!" he shouted casually while waving his hand.

Qianren nodded and stepped past Weng Lou with his hands and feet that had been coated with a thin Qi. He nimbly moved towards the bulls who were still dazed on the ground. His right leg kicked the chin of one of the bulls, then his left hand whose fingers were straightened immediately pierced right into the throat of the bull.

His hand was like grasping something when it was then pulled back out. Immediately, blood gushed profusely like a fountain from the bull's neck, but Qianren did not stop at the bull alone. His feet moved agilely and approached one by one the bulls.

His hand was like a death spear that kept piercing and taking the lives of the bulls one by one. It didn't take long to finish off all the bulls and Qianren stopped his attacks. Qianren rubbed the blood on his face and hands using his clothes then had Weng Lou turn around to let him change clothes.

While Qianren was changing clothes, Weng Lou chose to examine the bodies of the red bulls.

*bingg....* He took his sword, and easily cut off one of the bull's horns. The piece of horn in his hand was grasped tightly for a while, before he finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Em, this horn is pretty hard. I could use it to make little knives using this," he said, taking out a sack he had and immediately putting the horn in his hand into the sack. His sword again cut off the other horn and also inserted it.

He walked over to the other bulls and cut off their horns. Just when Qianren finished changing his clothes, he had also finished cutting off all the horns of the bull herd.

"It's over?" asked Weng Lou who saw Qianren walking from behind the turn of the labyrinth hallway with his new clothes.

He was wearing a sleeveless canal outfit that fit his body and was only as tall as his thigh. Although impressed open, but indeed such clothes are suitable for an empty-handed fighter like himself. Weng Lou himself also wore sleeveless clothes, and pants that had been cut to knee-high only.

The less clothes that cover the limbs, the empty-handed fighters can move more freely.

Qianren's face was slightly red as Weng Lou looked at him from top to bottom. She actually did not want to wear this outfit, but only this kind of clothing that she was under All the other clothes that were in her storage ring also had similar models.

"If you dare to look at me with your perverted gaze, I will not hesitate to pierce both of your eyes!" threaten Qianren while pulling down her clothes so as not to over-expose her thighs.

Weng Lou smiled mockingly and laughed softly, "Look back, I'm not a pervert who likes to look like that. There's nothing I can see from you anyway."

Listening to Weng Lou's words, it somehow made Qianren's heart ache a little, but she hurriedly left without caring about Weng Lou who was observing a horn in her hand.

***

Her night. Two shadowy figures darted rapidly between the dark and silent passageways of the labyrinth. The two cleverly turned between the corners of the hallway without crashing in the slightest.

Meanwhile, behind them, like a terrifying tsunami, a group of General Ants that had a body the size of an adult human moved and chased after the two shadows. Their bodies crept on Atang and on the walls of the labyrinth without any problems despite being crammed into each other. Their target was right in front of them, and would not let the two of them get away with it.

A few minutes ago....

Weng Lou and Qianren find a nest of a giant ant colony in one of the dead end alleys in the labyrinth. Weng Lou discovered that the ant nest was not part of a special route marked on his map and this intrigued him.

To avoid danger, he decides to approach the nest alone and tries to provoke the colony by killing an Ant General belonging to their colony. Weng Lou thought that the number of all the ants present was their total number. But unexpectedly, there is an entrance hole that leads into the wall of the labyrinth which is the location of their nest and the outside is only occupied by worker ants.

The General Ants he killed were assigned to watch over the herd of Worker Ants.

Until the situation becomes what it is today. Dozens of General Ants with powers at the peak stage 2 Soul Cleansing realm chased after them and attempted to kill himself as well as Qianren.

"You stupid idiot!!! Do somethin! Those ants won't let us go even if we get to the central part of the labyrinth!!!" Qianren exclaimed exasperatedly at Weng Lou who was the culprit of the problem they were currently facing.

If they were in an open field, Weng Lou would be happy to face the ants, but with their condition held back by the narrow walls of the labyrinthine passageway, Weng Lou could not exert a hundred percent of his strength. He could have accidentally injured Qianren or the other participants inside the labyrinth.

And if that situation were to occur, he was sure the Elders would be aware of his identity as an intruder.

Qianren bit his lower lip, and clicked his tongue. He realized Weng Lou had strength far above his, and prayer would only be a burden if it continued to be with Weng Lou. But on the other hand, he also did not want to hinder Weng Lou and by following Weng Lou's orders, he ran away.

The General Ants who were chasing after the two immediately reduced their speed when they saw Weng Lou who was no longer running. They chose to finish off Weng Lou first before then starting to target Qianren.

"Fuuuhh...haaaahhhh..hey little ants, do not make my expectations decrease well."

There was no expression of fear on Weng Lou's face, there was only a wide smile full of vigor.

He took out his twin swords and put up his horses. In order to avoid the damage from the excessive use of his physical strength, he chose to use his weapon that could solve all sorts of enemies he faced.

The General Ants wave came right in front of him, and Weng Lou immediately twisted his two hands holding his twin swords.

"Ohahhhh!!!" A loud cry from Weng Lou came along with a strong wind that immediately pushed back the body of the General Ants.

Weng Lou immediately charged into the giant ant horde. His sword swung and continued to slash at those ants. He began by performing one large incision that cut through their antennae. This he did so that they could not communicate with each other, and break their cooperation.

Weng Lou's next attack is, nothing. He chose to enjoy his fight without using those thoughts like the strategy he used to use.

***

In a labyrinthine passageway, Qianren was seen kneeling on the ground. His breathing was wheezing and sweat was drenching him. It had been half an hour that he had run away leaving Weng Lou alone and he had now been in the deeper parts of the labyrinth.

*buk....*

He threw himself on the ground and pensively remained silent. Inside his head, he kept thinking about the words he said to Weng Lou last time. A feeling of regret enveloped him and his tears began to drip.

"Based coward! Fucking coward!! Just die you! You useless stupid girl! You only know asking for the protection of others, and even sacrificing others for your own safety!"

Qianren started cursing himself, while his cries and cries of regret began to attract the attention of the demons and ferocious beasts around him.

*Tap...tap....* The sound of large footsteps was heard by Qianren's ears that were still above the ground. He hurriedly got up and gazed towards the passageway that was in front of him while enveloping both of his hands with his Qi.

His eyes narrowed and focused on the origin of the sound that was getting closer to him. Moments later, a shadow of a person was seen from the labyrinth wall. However Qianren still did not lower his vigilance. The demons in this labyrinth had some strange techniques that could disguise themselves as humans, it would be dangerous if he lowered his guard.

*tap....* The real figure of the shadow owner also appeared and showed his figure who turned out to be a Test Participant like himself.

Qianren recognized him, and he immediately lowered back his two hands that were previously ready to hit the opponent.

"Qian's? Why are you here?" asked the Test Participant who was a young man who wore neat clothes and had long hair tied back.

He is Gaouji De, Senior Brother of the same Master who taught Qianren. Gaouji was a year earlier to enter the sect than Qianren and had strength in the early stage 3 Soul Cleansing realm. He is one of the talented students possessed by his teacher and brings his teacher's great hopes to become a Martial Practitioner who surpasses him.

Gaouji's age was twenty years, and it was clearly a quite prominent achievement among the disciples of the Jade Bamboo Sect. Compared to Gaouji De, Nu Qianren was nothing.

"Senior Brother Gaouji." Qianren paid his respects to the young man and was only met with an investigating eye gaze by Gaouji. The place they were on was his test track, Qianren's presence here made Gaouji suspicious and wary.

The mention of 'Brother' on the call of each disciple does not mean that they consider the person to be truly his brother. Not a few disciples held grudges and ill intentions on their own seniors, and from Gaouji's point of view, Qianren had a grudge against him for some reason.

"What are you doing here? How did you get into my lane?" tanya Gaouji investigated.

Nu Qianren was speechless, he thought of a reasonable enough reason that his senior could accept, but there was nothing he thought could satisfy the senior. As he was about to give an answer, a voice first cut him from behind.

"I thought you ran a long way and were about to leave me alone behind, but you didn't. Sorry to be so bad. Hm? Who'sisthis? Is she your acquaintance Sister Qian?" Weng Lou's voice was very clearly heard in that passageway.

Hearing his voice, Qianren instantly turned around and saw the blood-drenched figure of Weng Lou walking leisurely with both twin swords in both hands. Right now, his entire clothes were torn apart making him bare-chested and showing his perfect body shape to Qianren and Gaouji who were looking at him suspiciously.

"Brother Lou..you...seek me?"

"Whatchu mean? Of course I'm looking for you. I promised you to protect me after agreeing to come with me, did you forget?" weng Lou replied with a face of astonishment.

Qianren was speechless. He had left Weng Lou and made the young man have to fight alone against a flock of General Ants that he could not even fight against one of them, yet the young man still fulfilled his promise and went to look for him.

"Lou? You mean that Talented Disabled Weng Lou? So he was the one who was said to be a fake Martial Practitioner because he did not have a Dantian. Hmp! Garbage will always join with other garbage. I don't care what the two of you do here, but I have to tell you, I'm not happy to be disturbed. So you better leave before I decide to finish you both off." Gauji De who was there spoke to Weng Lou and Qianren.

He looked displeased just by looking at Weng Lou's face, as well as that of his junior. He thought the two of them would only bring bad luck to him.

Weng Lou scratched the back of his non-itchy head and stared at Qianren as he coded, who the young man was talking to.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Brother Lou, he is my Senior from the same Master, Senior Brother Gauji De."

"Gaouji De's? Uh! He was the one who fainted after recklessly entering too deep in the crater of physical training a few weeks ago!" Weng Lou quickly remembered Gaouji's face and pointed at him after seeing more clearly.

Hearing Weng Lou's words, Gaouji's countenance turned dark and a killing intent instantly exploded from within him.

Hate-filled red eyes were highlighted on Weng Lou. "What did you just say? You're looking to die huh?!"
