Very soon, they arrived in front of a cave. Zhou Yi pointed at the entrance of the cave, and said, "Lin Li is locked inside."
"What about the three of them?" Fang Yue asked doubtfully.
"The three of them are inside," Zhou Yi answered.
"Okay, then let's go!" Sun Ming didn't care so much and said happily.
At this moment, a person walked out of the cave, causing the smile on Sun Ming's face to freeze.
The person who walked out was Lin Long, and he did not seem to be injured at all, nor was his limbs tied up.
"Zhou Yi, what happened?" Fang Yue, who felt that something was wrong, immediately looked at Zhou Yi.
"Maybe someone saved him," Zhou Yi said in a daze.
He originally thought that Lin Long would wait for the two of them to enter before suddenly making a move. Who would have thought that Lin Long would just swagger out like that?
Fang Yue also felt that the possibility was very high, so he no longer doubted it. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to Lin Long.
"Kid, seems like you're lucky. To think that someone would save you at such a crucial time. I want to see who it is!" Fang Yue said coldly.
"Kid, so what if someone saved you? The three of us can capture you again!" Sun Ming said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Ming felt that something was wrong. His back was in so much pain that he could not even speak for a moment.
As soon as he turned his head, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly. Zhou Yi had clearly stabbed the runic copper sword in his hand into his back.
"You... What are you doing?" Sun Ming shouted while enduring the pain.
Even though he could not speak properly, he still managed to shout out these few words at this time.
After succeeding in his attack, Zhou Yi immediately retreated.
After supporting Sun Ming, Fang Yue also shouted at Zhou Yi, "Zhou Yi, what are you doing?"
"Simple, I will definitely side with Brother Lin Li," Zhou Yi said calmly.
Since he was already forced to side with Lin Long, Zhou Yi directly used this kind of action to surrender. After all, his life was in Lin Long's hands.
Most importantly, he knew that it would be very difficult for these two to deal with Lin Long.
"Not bad, not bad." On the other side, Lin Long laughed. He did not expect Zhou Yi to be so ruthless.
"Zhou Yi, what kind of magic does this kid have to make you submit to him? Am I, an Iron sword rank warrior, not worth your submission?" Fang Yue could not help but ask. He really could not figure it out.
"Senior Brother Fang, you're wrong. Brother Lin is already an expert of the Iron sword rank." Zhou Yi shook his head.
Fang Yue was shocked and turned to look at Lin Long. "You're also an Iron Sword rank expert?"
"That's right. Zhou Yi is right." Linlong nodded.
After saying that, he took out the runic iron sword on his body. Not only that, he even activated the runes on it.
The runes unique to the Runic Iron Sword immediately caused Fang Yue's expression to turn even uglier.
Fang Yue could not help but ask, "Lin Li, weren't you only at the Copper Sword Rank two days ago? How did you suddenly become someone at the Iron Sword Rank?"
"That's because my strength has increased," Linlong said.
"How is that possible? How could you raise your strength to the Iron Sword rank in such a short time?" Fang Yue asked in disbelief.
It was no wonder he thought that way. Even the most talented person in the School of Runes would not be able to make such a huge improvement in such a short time.
"If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do," Linlong said with his hands spread out.
Fang Yue suddenly said, "It can't be that the two of you are putting on a show, right? Just to …"
However, he did not finish his sentence because he remembered that Linlong had indeed activated the runes on the runic iron sword.
Fang Yue sneered, "Good lad, so what if you have mastered the Runic Iron Sword? You have only just mastered it. How can you be a match for me, who has been immersed in the Runic Iron Sword for several years!"
After saying that, he also took out his own runic iron sword. In an instant, the runes on the iron sword were also activated.
"Lad, let me test your strength!" After saying that, Fang Yue directly attacked Linlong with his sword.
A ray of sword aura immediately cleaved at Linlong.
Linlong also met the attack with his sword.
In the next instant, the two rays of sword aura collided. With a muffled sound, one person was directly pushed back.
This person was Fang Yue.
"How is this possible? How can you be stronger than me?" This scene caused Fang Yue's eyes to widen.
He previously thought that Linlong would at most be able to fight him to a draw. He did not expect Linlong to directly crush him. This made him feel even more incredulous.
This is too amazing! Zhou Yi, who was behind Fang Yue, could not help but exclaim.
He also did not expect Linlong to be stronger than Fang Yue.
As for Sun Ming, who was lying on the ground, he was also extremely shocked.
"Because I am stronger than you, so I am stronger than you. Why do you have so many questions?" Linlong smiled indifferently.
Hearing Linlong's words, Fang Yue's face darkened. He coldly said, "Lad, you win, but today, I will definitely fight to the death with you!"
Although that was what he said, after saying that, he actually turned around and ran. It was obvious that these words were just to numb Linlong and then use this opportunity to escape.
This lad's Bronze Rune Steps is at most on par with mine. As long as I run with all my might, I will definitely be able to escape. Once I escape to the camp, I won't have to worry about him anymore. Fang Yue thought to himself as he ran.
However, his expression quickly turned ugly. This was because Linlong's speed was obviously much faster than his, and he quickly caught up to him.
"Lin Li … How can you be so fast?" Fang Yue could not help but cry out in surprise.
He could already see that Linlong had completely mastered the Bronze Rune Steps. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to catch up to him so quickly.
Not only did he master the Runic Iron Sword and Bronze Rune Steps in such a short time, but he was also able to completely master them. How shocking was this lad's talent! Fang Yue sighed in his heart.
Just as he was sighing, Linlong had already blocked in front of him, so he could only stop.
Knowing that he could only fight with his life on the line, he did not waste any more words and directly slashed his sword at Linlong.
Linlong immediately countered with his sword, and the powerful sword aura immediately forced Fang Yue to retreat. This time, Linlong did not give Fang Yue any time to catch his breath, and directly slashed his sword at him.
After a few consecutive slashes and using the Bronze Rune Steps, Linlong quickly attacked Fang Yue's wrist. With a cry, the runic iron sword in his hand flew out.
"I've lost!" Knowing that there was no way for him to escape, Fang Yue helplessly stood on the spot and said such incomparably dejected words.
Then, he continued, "However, there is something I don't understand. Why is Zhou Yi so willing to be ordered around by you?"
He really could not understand, because he knew Zhou Yi's character. There was no way he would easily betray them.
"I can't be bothered to tell you that." Linlong calmly smiled. As he spoke, he raised the runic iron sword in his hand, intending to immediately kill Fang Yue.
"Wait!" Fang Yue suddenly shouted.
Hearing his words, Linlong stopped, and asked, "What is it?"
"I … Can I become your subordinate like Zhou Yi …" Although he felt very ashamed to ask such a question, he could not care less about his pride in order to survive.
"No," Linlong directly said.
"Why?" Fang Yue did not dare to believe it. "I am stronger than Zhou Yi no matter what!"
Fang Yue, can you not steal my rice bowl! Zhou Yi's face twitched.
However, he also knew that Fang Yue was stronger than him, so he did not dare to say anything to Linlong.
"It doesn't matter whether you are strong or not," Linlong said.
With that, the runic iron sword in his hand moved, and Fang Yue immediately breathed his last.
In this world of bronze and iron, it was easy to be discovered if one had too many subordinates. Hence, Linlong naturally would not accept one more person. The reason why he accepted Zhou Yi was because he wanted Zhou Yi to lure them over. Otherwise, Zhou Yi would have already died.
I can't have the slightest hesitation in the future. Otherwise, I won't even know when I will be killed like Fang Yue. Watching Fang Yue being killed, such a thought flashed across Zhou Yi's mind.
How could he know what Linlong was thinking? Naturally, his heart was palpitating.
After killing Fang Yue, Linlong looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Go lure the others over."
Those people had already clashed with him, so they would definitely think of ways to deal with him in the future. Hence, he naturally had to make the first move to gain the upper hand.
"Yes!" Zhou Yi immediately replied respectfully.
He did not dare to hesitate in the slightest.
Just as Zhou Yi was about to leave, Linlong suddenly said, "Wait."
After hearing Linlong's words, Zhou Yi turned around and left, sprinting in the direction of the camp.
At this moment, Linlong walked in front of Sun Ming.
"Lin Li … You … You can't kill me …" Sun Ming said in a panic when he saw Linlong walking over.
At this moment, he had already propped himself up from the ground.
"Hmm? Give me a reason not to kill you, "Linlong said calmly.
"I …" Sun Ming was speechless. He could not think of a reason. Even someone as strong as Fang Yue was directly killed. What reason could he have?
He was not as strong as Fang Yue, and he did not have any strong people supporting him. What reason could he give?
In the next moment, before he could think of what to say, the runic iron sword in Linlong's hand was already slashing towards him.
"Ah …"
After a blood-curdling scream, Sun Ming breathed his last.
…
After returning to the camp, Zhou Yi quickly found Zhu Geng.
"Zhou Yi, what's the matter?" Zhu Geng asked expressionlessly as he looked at Zhou Yi. He could not figure out why Zhou Yi had come looking for him.
"Senior Brother Zhu, it's like this. Senior Brother Fang and I caught Lin Li," Zhou Yi said.
"Oh!" Zhu Geng's eyes lit up. Then, he said, "Since you guys caught him, why are you telling me?"
Although he could not wait to torture Linlong to vent his anger, he really could not understand why Zhou Yi would tell him such a thing.
If he wanted them to catch Lin Li together, he could understand that they were short of people. However, he did not understand why Zhou Yi still told them after catching Lin Li.
"Because Lin Li discovered a secret in your cave, Senior Brother Fang Yue and I went to take a look, but we couldn't find anything. We felt that you guys should know about it since it's your cave abode, so we came here to tell you …" Zhou Yi said.
"Is that so!" This made Zhu Geng's eyes light up.
"Now, Lin Li is locked in a cave by us … Senior Brother Zhu Geng, are you willing to go take a look?" Zhou Yi asked again.
"Of course!" Zhu Geng said without hesitation.
"Then let's go now," Zhou Yi said with a face full of joy.
He wanted to lure Zhu Geng and the others over one by one, so he naturally would not ask if Dong Sheng and the others should come along.
Zhu Geng said, "Besides you and Fang Yue, who else is there?"
"Besides me and Senior Brother Fang, there are two other Bronze Sword rank juniors," Zhou Yi said.
"Oh, then what about Pan Xin?" Zhu Geng asked.
Pan Xin was the other Iron Sword rank person among Zhou Yi's group of seven.
"Senior Brother Fang did not tell Pan Xin. After all, the words and runes in that place could be some kind of secret realm, so the fewer people who know, the better," Zhou Yi said.
After a short pause, he said, "Of course, if Senior Brother Zhu calls Senior Brother Dong Sheng along, we will not refuse."
"If that is the case, then I will not call Dong Sheng," Zhu Geng said immediately.
If it really was a secret manual, the fewer people who knew, the better, so he did not think of calling Dong Sheng along.
And if he found out that Fang Yue was not the only Iron Sword rank person there, he naturally would not follow them to explore the runes and words.
He also believed that if Pan Xin and Fang Yue were there, the two would not be able to stop him. He was very confident in his Bronze Patterned Steps.
That was why he dared to come alone.
At that moment, Zhou Yi led Zhu Geng towards the cave.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the cave.
"Senior Brother Zhu, Lin Li is locked in this cave by us..."
Before Zhou Yi could finish speaking, a person walked out of the cave. It was Lin Long.
"Who is this?" Seeing a person he did not know walk out, Zhu Geng could not help but frown.
He had seen Lin Long before, and remembered that Lin Long had been ridiculed and insulted by him, but how could he know who Lin Long was?
"This person is Lin Li," Zhou Yi said.
"Lin Li?" Zhu Geng was stunned at first, but when he came to his senses, his face immediately darkened. "Zhou Yi, what the hell are you doing?"
"It's not him. I asked him to call you over," Lin Long said with a calm smile.
Zhu Geng ignored Lin Long, and continued to look at Zhou Yi. "Where is Fang Yue?"
"Senior Brother Fang Yue is not here." Zhou Yi shook his head, then said, "It was Brother Lin who asked me to call you over."
"What is going on?" Zhu Geng's brows furrowed even deeper.
"It's very simple. Fang Yue has already been killed by me, and Zhou Yi has pledged his allegiance to me," Lin Long said with a calm smile.
"You killed Fang Yue? Who are you trying to fool? "Zhu Geng could not help but sneer.
Previously, Lin Long was only at the Bronze Sword Rank. How could he believe that Lin Long could kill Fang Yue?
At this moment, he felt that Zhou Yi must have colluded with Lin Long and tricked him over.
But both of them were at the Bronze Sword Rank, and were not a match for him at all. In other words, there was someone behind them.
With this thought in mind, Zhu Geng stared at Lin Long and said, "Kid, who is behind you? Get him out here. Someone of your strength is not worthy of me taking action!"
Zhu Geng did not think that the person behind these two was Fang Yue, because if it was Fang Yue, Lin Long would not have said that he had already killed Fang Yue.
"Senior Brother Zhu, actually, Brother Lin already has the strength of an Iron Sword Rank, which is why he was able to kill Senior Brother Fang Yue," Zhou Yi said at this moment.
"Tsk tsk, he has the strength of an Iron Sword Rank?" Zhu Geng sneered again.
However, before he finished speaking, the smile on his face had already frozen. He realized that Lin Long was indeed holding a runic iron sword in his hand.
