Two people walked over. Both of them were at the Iron Sword rank. They didn't notice Linlong and only paused for a while before leaving.
After the two of them left, Linlong revealed himself and continued to walk forward. At this time, he was naturally more cautious.
After a while, when his runic iron sword returned to normal, he was no longer as cautious.
At this time, he sensed the aura of an ancient ruin not far ahead. He immediately walked over and searched for a while before finding the entrance to the ancient ruin.
The entrance was not open, but Linlong's face revealed a trace of surprise. This was because the entrance had clearly been opened before.
Strange, the entrance to the ancient ruin that had been opened would not close. How did this entrance close? Could it be an illusion? Linlong's heart was filled with doubts.
At this moment, he didn't care too much about it. There might be some incomplete sword technique inside, so Linlong directly opened the entrance.
Kacha …
With such a sound, the entrance was directly opened. Linlong immediately walked down. Soon, he arrived at the stone room below. What made him heave a sigh of relief was that the stone room was empty. There was no one inside.
However, his brows immediately furrowed again. This was because there wasn't any black box on the stone platform in front of him.
Could it be that someone came here and took away the black box, then closed the entrance when they left? Linlong guessed in his heart. Although such a thing had not happened before, there was no guarantee that it would not happen again.
Even though he thought of this, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he looked around.
After looking around, his face revealed a surprised expression. This was because he discovered that there seemed to be a secret door on the wall to his left.
After discovering this, he immediately walked over. When he arrived in front of that place, he was even more certain that there really was a secret door here.
Just as he was thinking about how to open this secret door, he heard a bang. The tightly shut secret door was suddenly smashed open. Then, two figures rushed out from behind the secret door.
Before he could react, the two of them sandwiched him in the middle, one in front and one in the back.
It was Mo Kai! Looking at one of them, Linlong's pupils shrank.
This Mo Kai was the Silver-ranked expert who had been with Meng Yun at the beginning, but was forcefully snatched away by him and the black monkey.
"Lin Li, we finally meet again!" Mo Kai smiled at Linlong.
"Senior Brother, I don't understand what you're saying. Haven't we just met?" Linlong pretended to be confused. After all, he had been wearing a mask when he snatched the black box from Meng Yun and Mo Kai.
"Brat, don't play dumb with me. It was you who masked yourself and snatched the black box away!" Mo Kai sneered.
At first, he really didn't know. He only found out after Meng Yun told him.
Meng Yun did not tell him at first. Later on, she realized that she needed help to capture Linlong, so she told him about her guess that the masked man was Linlong.
Otherwise, Mo Kai wouldn't have known that that person was Linlong.
"Senior Brother, you're really mistaken. How would I dare to snatch the black box from your hands?" Linlong said.
"Brat, don't play dumb with me. If you know what's good for you, hand over the incomplete sword technique manual. That way, I might let you go. Otherwise, I will not only capture you, but I will also send you to Meng Yun and Ma Tiancheng!" Mo Kai said coldly.
When Meng Yun told him about the matter, she wanted him to help capture Linlong.
Hearing this, Linlong could not help but smile. "Senior Brother, I really don't have any black box or incomplete sword technique manual with me."
"Brat, you're courting death!" Mo Kai said angrily.
However, he did not attack immediately. Instead, he said to the other person, "Zhang Gongwei, go and guard the entrance. Let me deal with this brat."
The reason why he did this was naturally because he was worried about Linlong's speed.
"Yes!" Zhang Gongwei responded and hurriedly walked towards the entrance.
When Zhang Gongwei walked to the entrance, Mo Kai was finally relieved.
He, who had long held the silver sword in his hand, immediately activated it. In an instant, the runes on the silver sword flashed.
"Brat, since you're looking for you, I'll fulfill your wish!" With that, Mo Kai directly attacked Linlong with his sword.
Linlong had also activated the rune iron sword in his hand. He immediately swung his sword to meet the attack.
"Bang!"
The sword energy collided, creating a muffled sound. Then, Linlong was forced to retreat.
Before he could steady himself, Mo Kai's sword had already come slashing over. Linlong quickly used the Iron Striped Steps.
After using the Iron Striped Steps, the pressure on his body was greatly reduced. However, it was only a slightly easier move because in the next moment, Mo Kai also used his Iron Striped Steps.
In this way, Linlong once again lost all his advantages.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
In a short period of time, the two of them exchanged three moves. In the last move, Linlong was once again forced to retreat by Mo Kai's sword. This time, he directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brat, this time, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings!" Mo Kai chuckled.
After saying that, he attacked with his sword again.
"Bang!"
The sword energy collided, and this time, Linlong was directly sent flying. When he landed, he directly sprawled on the ground.
Seeing that Linlong seemed to have lost his ability to resist, Mo Kai naturally let down his guard. He immediately strode toward Linlong.
He was prepared to ruthlessly humiliate Linlong after approaching him.
However, just as he approached, Linlong, who seemed to have lost all his fighting strength, suddenly shot up from the ground. The rune iron sword in his hand directly stabbed toward him.
"A cornered beast's final struggle!" Mo Kai sneered.
The silver sword casually blocked in front of him. Before Linlong was injured, Mo Kai didn't even care about his full-force attack, let alone now that Linlong was injured.
However, his expression quickly changed because he discovered that Linlong's sword was very powerful. It seemed to have the strength of a Silver rank.
"Bang!"
The sword energy collided, and his entire body was sent flying. At the same time, there was a sweet taste in his throat, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This sword energy directly injured him. Afraid that Linlong would attack again, he hurriedly grasped the silver sword in his hand and shot up from the ground.
What he didn't expect was that Linlong didn't even rush toward him. Instead, he rushed toward the entrance.
What was this kid doing? He was clearly so powerful, so why did he run? Moreover, wasn't he holding a rune iron sword just now? How could he unleash the strength of a Silver rank? In a short period of time, many questions flashed in Mo Kai's mind.
Thinking of something, he subconsciously looked at Linlong's right hand, and with a single glance, he was extremely shocked. This was because Linlong was no longer holding a rune iron sword, but a rune bronze sword.
Could it be? He thought of something.
It was also at this moment that Linlong had already rushed in front of Zhang Gongwei, who was guarding the entrance.
Seeing Linlong rush over, Zhang Gongwei clearly panicked. He had personally seen Linlong send Mo Kai flying with a single strike. How could he be such a powerful opponent?
When Mo Kai was sent flying, his gaze shifted to Zhang Gongwei, and he didn't notice that the rune sword in Linlong's hand had already been swapped for the rune bronze sword. Hence, he naturally wouldn't panic.
Feeling that he definitely wasn't Linlong's match, he panicked and immediately dodged to the side.
Seeing his action, Mo Kai was so angry that he couldn't help but curse. He immediately shouted, "Why are you running? Hurry up and stop him!"
"Senior Mo, I'm not his match!" Zhang Gongwei said with a sullen face.
"Are you stupid? He's currently holding a rune bronze sword in his hand. How can you not be his match?" Mo Kai shouted again.
He's holding a rune bronze sword in his hand? Hearing Mo Kai's words, Zhang Gongwei hurriedly looked at Linlong's right hand, and with a single glance, he was stunned. This was because Linlong really was holding a rune bronze sword.
He immediately rushed over, but before he could make it, Linlong had already rushed out.
"Hurry up and chase after him!" Mo Kai said anxiously.
Zhang Gongwei hurriedly chased after Linlong, and Mo Kai naturally followed closely behind.
After the two of them rushed out, they discovered that Linlong had fled to the right, and immediately chased after him.
"He's injured, we can definitely catch up to him!" Mo Kai said as he chased. He was also injured, but in his opinion, his injuries were lighter than Linlong's. Hence, he would definitely be able to catch up to Linlong.
However, he soon became depressed. This was because Linlong's speed was simply faster than the two of them, and soon, they lost track of him.
Why doesn't this kid seem to be injured? Mo Kai was extremely puzzled, and he wasn't the only one. Zhang Gongwei, who was behind him, also felt the same.
They had seen how many times Linlong had been hit just now.
After escaping from the two of them, Linlong hurriedly found a hidden cave to hide in, and then he consumed a top-grade healing medicine and began to meditate on the spot to heal his injuries.
This time was different from before. Not only was he injured, but he also didn't obtain any incomplete sword technique.
The only thing he learned was that there were actually two stone chambers in the ancient ruins. However, there was no benefit in knowing this, because since Mo Kai and Zhang Gongwei were already inside, the items inside must have already been obtained by him.
After spending most of the day, Linlong only came out of the cave when his injuries were more or less healed. By this time, the energy on his rune iron sword had already returned to normal.
After exiting the cave, Linlong naturally began to search for the ancient ruins.
In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he sensed the aura of the ancient ruins right in front of him.
He immediately sprinted over, but he quickly furrowed his brows. This was because there were three people in front of him, and it was obvious that they were looking for the entrance to the ancient ruins.
Soon, they found the entrance to the ancient ruins, and they immediately opened it.
Kacha!
Just as the sound came from the entrance, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side. Before the three of them could react, the figure had already rushed down the stairs ahead of them.
Damn it, someone actually wants to snatch our things! The three of them, who finally reacted, roared in their hearts as they quickly rushed in.
After rushing in, they looked straight ahead. It was completely empty, and there wasn't even a stone platform.
In other words, this ancient ruins didn't have a black box, and there wasn't any incomplete sword technique. Hence, they weren't in a hurry to chase after the person who rushed in first, and they immediately stopped.
The person who rushed in first was naturally Linlong.
When he saw that there wasn't a stone platform, he also stopped.
"It's Lin Li!" At this moment, the three of them also saw Linlong's face, and one of them directly exclaimed.
"Zhang Cheng, why are you making a fuss?" One of them couldn't help but shout at the person who exclaimed. Then, he smiled at Linlong, and said, "Junior Brother Lin, this kid heard that you recently obtained a few black boxes, so he made a fuss when he saw you. Don't take it to heart."
"That's right, Junior Brother Lin, don't take it to heart," the other person said with a smile.
"Don't the two of you mind that I entered the ancient ruins before you?" Linlong said calmly.
"Snatching black boxes in the secret realm is extremely common, and we also snatch from others. If we hate others because of this, wouldn't we hate everyone in the secret realm? So, Junior Brother Lin, don't worry, we won't be bothered by this, "the first person said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Lin, why don't you team up with us? You must be very strong to be able to obtain a few black boxes, and there are three of us. It won't be a loss for you to team up with us," the second person said.
When the person who was scolded heard the words of the other two, he was clearly stunned. However, he didn't say anything else.
"Sorry, I don't have the habit of teaming up." Linlong shook his head.
After a slight pause, he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
After speaking, he strode towards the exit.
"That's a pity," the first person said with a sigh.
After saying that, he retreated to the side. At the same time, he gestured for the other two to retreat to the side. The two of them also retreated to the side.
Linlong, who was walking towards the entrance, quickly approached the three of them. At this moment, the first person suddenly shouted, "Attack!"
Before his voice faded, he had already grabbed the runic iron sword in his hand and attacked Linlong.
The other two also did the same action.
It was obvious that their words were just to make Linlong let his guard down. When they saw Linlong walking over, they thought that their plan had succeeded.
However, they underestimated Linlong. Linlong had long noticed that the first person's eyes were darting around when he spoke. It was obvious that he was plotting something.
Therefore, he had long been on guard against the three of them. As expected, when he approached, the three of them attacked at the same time.
Since he was already on guard, how could Linlong let the three of them succeed? Before the three of them could attack with their runic iron swords, he had already used the Iron Stride to retreat.
Because of this, the three of them's attacks missed.
"Kid, your reaction is really fast!" Seeing that his plan had failed, the first person's face immediately turned ugly.
"If I didn't react fast, how could I obtain a few black boxes?" Linlong said with a faint smile.
Then, he asked, "You guys attacked me because you want to snatch the black boxes and the incomplete sword technique manual from me?"
