"Big brother Xing Jue, these guys are really too despicable. We should teach them a good lesson." At this moment, Li Xiaohan said angrily as she looked at the three disciples of the Nether Hall nearby.
After Xing Jue and the others entered the passage, Xing Jue's group of three was walking in front. However, after walking for a while, the three disciples from the Nether Hall saw that there was no danger in the passage and actually took the lead to Xing Jue's group. This caused Li Xiaohan to be dissatisfied.
"Xiaohan, we have just entered the ruins. We still don't know what dangers lie ahead. Isn't it better for them to take the lead?" Seeing this, Xing Jue lightly scratched Li Xiaohan's golden nose with his index finger and said with a smile.
"Hehe ~ Big Brother Xing Jue is still the smartest!" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Li Xiaohan came to a realization and smiled sweetly.
"Sigh ~"
Looking at the loving couple in front of her, Li Chan Yue sighed helplessly. She thought to herself, "You two should choose a place to be lovey-dovey. I'm right beside you right now."
* Huff huff huff huff *
However, at this moment, a series of rumbling sounds came from the two sides of the passage. Moreover, the sound was getting closer and closer. At the same time, even the passage began to tremble.
After hearing the sound, the disciples from the four major forces came to an abrupt halt and looked cautiously at the two sides of the passage.
Suddenly, Xing Jue's expression changed and he said to Li Xiaohan and Li Chan Yue in panic, "Xiaohan, Senior Sister Li, come near me!"
Because when the strange sound rang out, Xing Jue had already spread out his Soul Strength in an attempt to find out what was attacking them. However, to Xing Jue's surprise, even with his current Soul Strength, he was actually unable to find out what it was.
What was the most terrifying? What was scary was not the visible danger, but the unpredictable danger. The current situation was obviously like this. That was why Xing Jue was so nervous. Even if he was not afraid, he did not want Li Xiaohan to get hurt.
"It's water!" Right at that moment, the Nether Hall's disciple at the front and the Nangong Family's disciple at the back shouted at the same time.
At this moment, Xing Jue and the rest had also discovered that there were indeed two extremely violent streams of water at the two ends of the passageway. They were churning violently as they swept towards them from all directions.
"Something's wrong. There's something fishy about it." Seeing that, Xing Jue furrowed his brows. That was because he knew that this was no ordinary water.
Logically speaking, even if there was an attack of water, it should have come from one side, because there was clearly no water source in the place they had entered. But now, the water was coming from both ends of the tunnel, which meant that the water column wasn't something from outside the tunnel, but something inside the tunnel.
"Huff huff huff ~"
Right at that moment, the two extremely violent streams of water arrived. However, neither the Nether Hall's disciple nor the Nangong Family's disciple were afraid of the water column attack. After letting out a cold snort, they stretched out their palms and two equally powerful defensive barriers appeared.
"Huff huff huff ~"
However, when the two water columns bombarded the defensive barrier, it instantly dissipated. The Nangong Family's disciple and the Nether Hall's disciple were instantly swept into the water by the two water columns.
"Starlight Sky!"
Seeing this, Li Xiaohan quickly spread out her palms. At the same time, a large amount of starlight poured down and formed an extremely dazzling defensive barrier that tightly enveloped Xing Jue's group of three.
"Huff huff huff ~"
However, just as the defensive barrier was formed, the two water columns had already arrived from both sides of the tunnel. However, to Xing Jue's surprise, the defensive barrier formed by the Starlight Sky actually dissipated in an instant, just like the defensive barrier the Nangong Family's and the Nether Hall's disciples had cast earlier.
"Big Brother Xing Jue!"
Right at that moment, the two surging water columns had already reached the bodies of Xing Jue's group. Seeing this, Xing Jue quickly held Li Xiaohan's hand tightly. At the same time, he was prepared to cast the Imperial Wind Skill.
After all, the Imperial Wind Skill allowed him to walk on the waves freely even under the powerful pressure of the underwater hurricane. Therefore, Xing Jue didn't care about this kind of water column at all.
However, when the water column completely submerged him, Xing Jue realized that he didn't have any strength left in the water, let alone cast the Imperial Wind Skill to walk on the waves.
"Little Han!"
At that moment, Xing Jue's body seemed to have lost all feeling, and he slowly loosened his grip on Li Xiaohan's hand. Looking at Li Xiaohan who was being swept away by the water column, Xing Jue screamed at the top of his lungs.
However, at the next moment, Xing Jue suddenly felt that his consciousness started to become blurry. In the end, his eyes became heavy, and he fainted.
"Huff huff huff huff ~"
After the water column submerged everyone, countless tunnels appeared in the tunnel, and the bizarre water column was discharged. As for Xing Jue's group, they followed the water column and flowed into those tunnels.
About two hours after Xing Jue's group was attacked by the water column, Xing Jue's group was lying in one of the ancient and deep tunnels with his eyes closed.
"Little Han, Little Han!"
All of a sudden, Xing Jue's eyes opened abruptly. After he sat up, he started to shout crazily. It was obvious that his consciousness was still at the time when he was separated from Li Xiaohan.
After a while, Xing Jue finally woke up. Immediately, Xing Jue looked around in an attempt to find Li Xiaohan's whereabouts.
However, after looking around for a while, Xing Jue's mood became gloomy. This was because the tunnel they were in was completely different from the one they were in before. The interior of the tunnel was oval in shape, and in the middle of the tunnel, there was a thin stream that flowed continuously.
"This water is so special, it actually has the ability to absorb Martial Energy."
After using his hands to examine the stream, Xing Jue realized that it was the water column that they couldn't resist before.
"Cough cough cough" But at this moment, the sound of a woman coughing could be heard from the corner in front of them.
Seeing this, Xing Jue immediately stood up and ran forward. After turning the corner, Xing Jue realized that it was the genius female disciple of the Nangong Family. "Lin Yi."
"Junior Xing Jue, where are they?" At this moment, Lin Yi was sitting paralyzed on the ground. Her appearance was also a little disheveled. When she saw Xing Jue, Lin Yi hurriedly asked.
"Senior Lin Yi, I think we were separated." Hearing Lin Yi's question, Xing Jue spread out his hands and said helplessly.
After hearing Xing Jue's words, Lin Yi slowly lowered her head and became silent. She was probably thinking about something.
"Junior Xing Jue, do you know which direction leads to the depths of the ruins?" Lin Yi was silent for a while, then slowly raised her head and asked Xing Jue.
"I don't dare to confirm, but looking at the direction of the stream, I guess it will lead to the depths of the ruins." Hearing Lin Yi's question, Xing Jue replied with a smile.
"Hehe, Junior Xing Jue, you are indeed smart. No wonder you were able to obtain first place in the hunting competition." After hearing Xing Jue's words, Lin Yi suddenly came to a realization. Then, she cast an admiring gaze at Xing Jue.
"Senior Lin Yi is too kind. Since we're already here, let's explore deeper. Perhaps we'll meet up with everyone at the front." Xing Jue smiled in response to Lin Yi's praise. Soon after, he lifted his foot and walked towards the depths of the tunnel.
Although Xing Jue didn't dislike Lin Yi like he disliked the other disciples of the Nangong Family, she was still a disciple of the Nangong Family. Therefore, Xing Jue still held a grudge against her.
Seeing that Xing Jue had left, Lin Yi smiled faintly and hurriedly chased after him.
After walking for a while in the tunnel, Xing Jue didn't find anything unusual. Then, he used the Imperial Wind Technique and increased his pace. He turned into a gust of wind and dashed towards the depths of the tunnel. Lin Yi also used a powerful agility skill and followed behind Xing Jue.
It must be said that the ancient ruins were very deep. Even with Xing Jue and Lin Yi's speed, it took them two hours to walk out of the tunnel.
After walking out of the tunnel, Xing Jue's originally calm face was filled with shock when he saw the scene in front of him.
At the end of the tunnel was a huge valley. The valley was filled with deep red magma. As the magma rolled, it would create deep red magma bubbles.
Soon after, an extremely scorching aura was emitted from above. The river in the tunnel was slowly flowing into the magma. However, the moment the water came into contact with the surface of the magma, it would instantly turn into white steam and float up.
"Is this the so-called Death Gate?" Lin Yi said in shock as she looked at the surging magma beneath her feet.
"No, look around you!" Just as Lin Yi was feeling surprised, Xing Jue's gaze swept across the surroundings of the valley.
Only then did he discover that there were actually countless tunnels surrounding the deep valley. Similarly, water slowly flowed out from those tunnels and finally fell into the magma of the deep valley.
"Junior Xing Jue, are you saying that one of those passageways is the exit?" Seeing this, Lin Yi hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, I need to investigate." In response to Lin Yi's question, Xing Jue helplessly shook his head and slowly took a few steps forward. At the same time, an invisible Spiritual Strength surged out. Finally, it surged towards the few tunnels.
Back in the passageway, Xing Jue had used his soul power to probe Li Xiaohan and the others' Little Luo. However, there was a strange power in the passageway that blocked Xing Jue's soul power.
However, now that Xing Jue was here, he could use his Soul Energy to search for the whereabouts of Li Xiaohan and the others.
At this moment, Xing Jue closed his eyes and stood there with his back straight. On the other hand, Lin Yi was staring at Punishment Execution without blinking. She was the peerless genius of the Nangong Family, but at this moment, she had to rely on Punishment Execution because Soul Perception was indeed not her strong suit.
"Sh * t."
At this moment, Xing Jue suddenly opened his eyes. His face was filled with panic. Then, he leaped forward and dashed toward a tunnel not far away.
