The injured two were naturally unwilling to give up. They quickly ran over to Senior Brother Fang and the others and told them about the bullying.
Looking at the injuries on the two of them, Senior Brother Fang and the rest's expressions naturally turned ugly.
These two were here to help them. How could they bear to see them being bullied like this? Moreover, Senior Brother Fang did not like Zhu Geng.
Senior Brother Fang coldly said, "Everyone, follow me!"
He immediately led Senior Sun and the others toward the cave in an overbearing manner.
...
Before they arrived, Xue Le, who wanted to follow behind the two injured people to see who was behind them, was suddenly stopped by someone.
The person's face turned cold and he viciously said, "You guys are really ruthless. You actually injured my two senior brothers to this extent."
When Xue Le heard this, he naturally thought that this person was in cahoots with the other two. He immediately said coldly, "So what if they are? They deserve it!"
"Deserved it? Then let me show you what it means to deserve it! "After saying that, the person in front of him pulled out the runic bronze sword on his body.
"You are just a copper sword rank person. What are you so arrogant for?" Xue Le sneered and pulled out the runic bronze sword on his body.
Just as he pulled out his runic bronze sword, the other party already stabbed at him.
Xue Le naturally met the attack with his sword. However, his expression quickly changed. He discovered that the other party's footwork was extremely exquisite. It was not something he could deal with at all.
"You have mastered the Copper Patterned Steps?" Xue Le could not help but exclaim.
"At least you are not blind. This is the Copper Patterned Steps," the other party said proudly.
With this confirmation, Xue Le did not dare to fight with the other party. He immediately turned around and fled. However, the other party did not give him such a chance. Very quickly, he blocked in front of him and used the Copper Patterned Steps to deal with him.
After a few moves, Xue Le suffered quite a few injuries. In the end, the other party even chopped off his left arm.
"You are so ruthless!" Xue Le said angrily.
"Ruthless? If Senior Fang Yue was here, he would have surely chopped off your head … What are you waiting for? Scram! "the other party said coldly.
Xue Le did not dare to say anything else. With a belly full of anger, he turned around and fled. He naturally wanted to return and tell Senior Brother Dong about this.
Why are you so arrogant? I will tell Senior Brother Dong and Senior Brother Zhu. They will definitely avenge me! Xue Le said fiercely as he ran.
Seeing his fleeing figure, a smile appeared on the face of the person behind him.
This person was none other than Lin Long, who had been hiding at the side earlier. When he saw that Senior Brother Dong had actually sent Xue Le over by himself, such a brilliant plan naturally flashed through his mind.
Xue Le did not know that he had fallen to a trap. He only thought that Lin Long was with the two.
Xue Le quickly returned to the cave. When he saw that Xue Le was covered in blood and that his left arm was severed at the shoulder, Senior Brother Dong's expression changed and he immediately asked, "Xue Le, what happened?"
"My god …" Xue Le could not help but spit fire in his eyes. After suppressing his anger, he asked calmly, "Who is behind them?"
"The one who injured me is a young man. He is only at the bronze sword rank like me, but he can use the Bronze Pattern Steps. I am not his match, so …" Xue Le said.
"The one who injured me was a young man. He was only at the Copper Sword rank like me, but he could use the Bronze Pattern Steps. I was no match for him, so..." Xue Le said.
"Fang Yue, huh? Very well!" Senior Brother Dong gritted his teeth.
"Fang Yue? Very well!" Senior Brother Dong gritted his teeth.
He naturally knew who Fang Yue was.
Normally, he did not interact much with Fang Yue. Now that the other party had done such a cruel thing to his people, he naturally did not mind getting revenge.
"Don't worry, I will get justice for you immediately!" Senior Brother Dong sneered.
As they spoke, footsteps came from outside. Two people walked in. The moment they entered, Senior Brother Dong and Xue Le immediately smiled. They were Zhu Geng and Senior Brother Dong, who had left earlier on.
"Xue Le, what happened to your arm?" The moment they entered and saw Xue Le, Zhu Geng and Senior Brother Dong were naturally shocked.
"I was injured by someone …" Senior Brother Dong immediately explained what had happened. In the end, the culprit was naturally Fang Yue.
"This Fang Yue is really powerful. He actually dared to treat our people like this!" Zhu Geng immediately scolded, then said, "Senior Brother Dong, the two of us should go teach them a lesson and make them pay the price!"
"Yes, Xue Le, bring us there!" Senior Brother Dong immediately said.
Soon after, the four of them aggressively walked out and headed in the direction where Xue Le was previously injured.
Just as the four of them were halfway there, they encountered Fang Yue and Senior Brother Sun's group, who were also aggressively charging towards them.
"Senior Brothers, it's them!" Xue Le, who saw them from afar, immediately pointed at Fang Yue and his group.
Hearing this, Zhu Geng immediately rushed over with a face full of anger. Senior Brother Dong directly followed behind him.
Soon, they arrived in front of Fang Yue and his group.
"Fang Yue, you guys are really powerful. You actually beat up our people like that!" The moment they arrived, Zhu Geng pointed at Fang Yue's nose and said angrily. He was originally a hot-tempered person, how could he tolerate this at a time like this?
Fang Yue originally wanted to ask a few more questions. How could he feel comfortable being called out by the other party? Moreover, the people who were beaten up were clearly on his side.
"Hehe, you guys are really reasonable!" Fang Yue said coldly.
"Not only did you injure our people, you actually dared to point at Senior Brother Fang's nose and scold him. Zhu Geng, how great are you?" Senior Brother Sun also said coldly.
"So what if I am great?" The more Zhu Geng spoke, the angrier he became. He directly pulled out the runic iron sword at his waist and slashed at Senior Brother Sun.
Senior Brother Sun was shocked and quickly retreated. The other party had the strength of an Iron Sword Rank. He could scold him, but he did not dare to fight him head-on.
However, even if he retreated, he could not be faster than Zhu Geng's sword qi.
At this critical moment, a runic iron sword directly slashed over and blocked Zhu Geng's sword qi.
It was Fang Yue.
"Fang Yue, today I will let you know the power of Zhu Geng!" The runic iron sword in Zhu Geng's hand turned and directly attacked Fang Yue.
The moment the two of them exchanged blows, the rest of the people immediately joined in. The other Iron Sword rank person on Fang Yue's side immediately attacked Senior Brother Dong.
Xue Le and Fang Yue, who had arrived later, also engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining opponents.
"Zhu Geng, Dong Sheng, you guys have so few people. Fighting with us is simply asking for trouble!" Fang Yue sneered as he fought.
They had seven people on their side, and two of them were Iron Sword rank. Therefore, he felt that the other party would not be able to fight back at all.
"You are wrong. Do you think I am still as strong as before? Let me tell you, I have already completely mastered the Bronze Patterned Steps. "Dong Sheng sneered.
Although he did not usually interact with Fang Yue and the other two Iron Sword rank people, he still understood their strength. He knew that the other party had not completely mastered the Bronze Patterned Steps. This way, he would have a certain advantage.
Moreover, the other party also had two people injured. Therefore, although he did not have absolute confidence in winning, it would not be so easy for the other party to directly take them down.
"What, you have completely mastered the Bronze Patterned Steps?" Fang Yue could not help but be surprised.
The Bronze Patterned Steps was not easy to master. After training for so long, he could at most grasp half of it. Now that he heard that the other party had completely mastered the Bronze Patterned Steps, he was naturally surprised.
"Open your eyes wide and take a good look," Dong Sheng said. As he spoke, he used his Bronze Patterned Steps to the extreme.
As he did so, the person fighting with him immediately became somewhat flustered.
Indeed, this Dong Sheng had really mastered the Bronze Patterned Steps. Fang Yue could not help but think to himself as he glanced over.
Fortunately, they had enough people. They immediately went over to help, and this prevented the Iron Sword rank person from being directly defeated by Dong Sheng.
But in this way, their advantage was immediately gone.
Because of this, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
They did not know that the culprit, Lin Long, was currently in the cave, pondering.
It was not easy to create such an opportunity, so Lin Long naturally seized the time to study it inside.
After studying for a while, Lin Long nodded to himself. Next, he suddenly slapped the wall with the strange runes in front of him a few times.
"Pa pa pa..."
Amidst such sounds, the whole cave wall began to shake again. However, the shaking this time was obviously more intense. Not only that, the entire cave suddenly began to crack.
After a long time, one of the cracks suddenly grew larger and larger. In the end, a black hole appeared behind the crack.
Lin Long walked over to take a look, and a happy smile appeared on his face. It was obvious that there was a staircase leading downwards.
The bottom of the staircase was very dark. Even with Lin Long's good eyesight, he could not see what exactly was below.
Lin Long hurriedly used his divine will to investigate the bottom. After a round of investigation and confirming that there was no danger, he walked up the staircase.
After walking for a while, he finally reached the bottom. At this moment, the originally dark surroundings suddenly lit up. What appeared in front of Lin Long was a small stone room. This stone room had a stone table and a stone bench. It looked very simple.
However, what attracted Lin Long's attention was not them, but the words and runes engraved in the surroundings. Most of them were words, with a small number of runes appearing among these words.
Lin Long immediately walked up to a wall and studied it carefully. He felt that these runes would be useful to him.
Indeed, after studying for a while, he nodded to himself.
If he were to study it here, he did not know how many days it would take. By then, he would definitely bump into Zhu Geng and the others, so Lin Long naturally would not stay here any longer.
He forcibly memorized these words and runes in his mind, then went back to study them slowly.
Even so, he still spent a lot of time memorizing these words and runes in his mind. After all, they were too profound.
After memorizing them, Lin Long immediately left the place. Just as he walked out, he heard footsteps coming from not far ahead.
He hid to the side and saw that Zhu Geng and the other three had returned. All of their faces were covered in wounds, especially the other Copper Sword rank person. His left arm had also been chopped off.
At this moment, their expressions were naturally very ugly.
"Fang Yue, just you wait. One day, I will definitely kill him!" Zhu Geng said angrily.
Dong Sheng, who was beside him, did not say anything. He only frowned.
Very soon, the four of them returned to the cave. As soon as they entered the cave, they were immediately stunned on the spot because the inside was in a mess. It was obvious that it had suffered some sort of damage. After looking carefully, they even discovered the entrance of the cave with stairs.
Seeing this, Zhu Geng immediately exclaimed, "What's going on?"
The others were naturally surprised as well. They had been in this cave for so long, and they had never thought that there was another world inside.
Dong Sheng frowned and said, "Looks like someone came in while we were away and found this place."
"Let's hurry down and take a look!" Zhu Geng said again.
"Alright," Dong Sheng said without hesitation.
The four of them immediately walked down the stairs. Soon, they entered the stone room.
Immediately, they shifted their gaze to the stone walls of the stone room.
Seeing the words and runes on the wall, Xue Le exclaimed, "Could this be some kind of secret manual?"
"It should be!" Dong Sheng nodded.
Although they could tell what kind of secret manual it was, their expressions were extremely ugly. This was because the words and runes engraved on the wall were almost all destroyed. Other than a few words and runes that could be roughly made out, the rest could not be seen at all.
"These marks are new. It seems like the person who snuck in didn't want us to know about these runes and words, so he directly destroyed them!" After a closer look, Dong Sheng's frown deepened.
Zhu Geng clenched his fists and said angrily, "Who is it? If I, Zhu Geng, find out, I will definitely tear him to pieces!"
He had just fought with Fang Yue and the others, and now he encountered such a thing. How could he not be angry?
At this moment, Xue Le suddenly said, "Something is wrong!"
"En, what's wrong?" Dong Sheng asked. He also faintly felt that something was wrong.
"I think we might have been plotted against," Xue Le said with a frown.
"Plotted against? Plotted against?" Zhu Geng hurriedly asked.
Xue Le said, "I think someone deliberately provoked us to fight with Fang Yue and the others, and then sneaked in while we were fighting."
"Xue Le, did you discover anything?" Dong Sheng asked again.
"Just now, when we were fighting with Fang Yue and the others, I discovered that the person who chopped off my arm was not among them," Xue Le said.
"Then could it be that Fang Yue and the others lured us out so that their people could sneak in, and their goal was this stone room?" Zhu Geng said.
"That's possible, but I feel that if that's the case, the other party would not have risked their lives to fight us," Dong Sheng said after thinking for a while.
"I think we should ask Fang Yue and the others. Perhaps they were also plotted against," Xue Le said.
Because he recalled the words of the person who chopped off his arm, the other party seemed to want to say Fang Yue's name, so that he could directly target Fang Yue.
The hateful thing was, of course, he was too angry to notice this.
"Okay, let's go find Fang Yue and the others immediately!" Dong Sheng said.
After saying that, the few of them walked out of the cave.
