Firstly, the two of them had launched a sneak attack from behind. Secondly, Xiao Lingyu was still in a daze at the sight of Huang Bing's miserable state. By the time he sensed the attack coming from behind him, he only had enough time to lean to the side and dodge one of the attacks.
A sharp sword easily pierced through Xiao Lingyu's shoulder. In front of a sharp sword, the body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was as weak as tofu.
Xiao Lingyu instantly understood that he had been tricked. Without waiting for the other party to make any moves, he immediately lunged forward. Enduring the pain of the sharp sword piercing through his body, he rushed to the front of the altar in the main hall.
Yang Jin and Wang Zhicheng were not too surprised that they did not kill Xiao Lingyu in one strike. When Xiao Lingyu lunged forward, they also raised their long swords and chased after him.
Xiao Lingyu naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to waste his breath questioning others at this time. With a thought, a long sword appeared in his hand and blocked Yang Jin's sword.
At the same time, Xiao Lingyu shouted loudly and used his bare palm to slap Wang Zhicheng's long sword.
The long sword's blade brushed past Xiao Lingyu's palm and pierced through Xiao Lingyu's shoulder, but it deviated from its original direction and pierced deeply into the wall.
Xiao Lingyu's palm was also in great pain. The long sword's blade had left two deep gashes on his palm. However, he knew that this was a matter of life and death. A little pain was nothing. It was more important to not lose his life.
He quickly kicked out, forcing Yang Jin to retreat. Then, he slashed his long sword horizontally, forcing Wang Zhicheng to withdraw his sword and retreat.
In just two exchanges, Xiao Lingyu was already seriously injured. He knew that he had not cultivated for a long time and was not familiar with the moves and spells. Even if his cultivation level was similar to the other two, it would be difficult for him to deal with them at the same time.
"Huang Bing was killed by you two, right?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a trembling voice. The pain from the sword wound on his shoulder made his entire body feel cold.
"When you die, you can ask Huang Bing."
Wang Zhicheng smiled coldly. After responding, the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light again, and a sword light burst out, rushing towards Xiao Lingyu again.
Yang Jin only hesitated for a moment before following with his sword drawn.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, kept swinging their swords as they advanced. Their sharp and well-practiced sword moves almost enveloped Xiao Lingyu from all directions.
However, to their surprise, Xiao Lingyu did not waver in the slightest. Instead, she looked at them with hatred in her eyes.
They did not retreat because of this. They felt that this was Xiao Lingyu's expression because she knew she was going to die. That kind of hatred was probably the hatred of despair.
Unfortunately, when their swords were a foot away from Xiao Lingyu, they were blocked.
A golden light flashed in the thatched cottage, and a golden shield blocked in front of Xiao Lingyu. The two swords stabbed into the shield, but immediately broke into two. If the two of them had not stopped in time, they would have crashed into the golden shield.
"What is this?" Yang Jin asked in shock.
"It should be a talisman treasure. Fortunately, it is only a defensive talisman treasure," Wang Zhicheng said calmly after recovering from his shock.
This was indeed a talisman treasure, and it was the golden shield talisman treasure from last time. However, the energy within it had not been depleted, so Ge Yunfei left it for Xiao Lingyu to protect herself.
Just as Yang Jin and Wang Zhicheng finished speaking, the golden shield suddenly rushed forward. The two of them did not know the power of the talisman treasure, so they naturally did not dare to block it. They immediately dodged to the side.
Xiao Lingyu was right behind the golden shield talisman treasure. The golden shield talisman treasure could not attack, but it could move at will. Under the control of Xiao Lingyu's thoughts, it protected Xiao Lingyu as they rushed out of the thatched cottage and into the small courtyard.
Xiao Lingyu took out the token to open the protective restriction on the courtyard door. He rushed into the courtyard, hoping to use the restriction to block the two thieves outside. However, he was helpless as Yang Jin and Wang Zhicheng followed closely behind him. When he rushed into the courtyard, the two of them also rushed in.
Fortunately, the golden shield talisman treasure could provide protection. Xiao Lingyu held a good quality long sword in his hand and blocked left and right. Even if the two of them wanted to kill him, who had almost no fighting experience, it was not an easy task.
However, the two of them had already forced him into a desperate situation. In this courtyard, even if he had the token that allowed him to freely enter and exit, he still needed to go through the main door. However, the main door was firmly guarded by the two of them. It was almost impossible for Xiao Lingyu to force his way out.
There was no place in this courtyard that could be defended. After living here for so long, Xiao Lingyu already knew this courtyard like the back of his hand. He did not go into the house because it was smaller and would put himself in more danger. He also did not want to destroy the things in the house because of fighting. After all, Ge Yunfei had instructed him not to touch the things inside, let alone destroy them.
Xiao Lingyu's front was blocked by the golden shield talisman treasure, and his back was leaning against the crooked ancient tree.
Wang Zhicheng and Yang Jin did not have any good ideas. After all, the golden shield talisman treasure's defensive power was not something they could break through. Moreover, it could move at will, and their attacks would be blocked as soon as they arrived.
However, good things did not last long. After all, the golden shield talisman treasure could not continuously display its power. After blocking for a while, the spiritual light dimmed, and Xiao Lingyu needed to inject some energy into it to activate it again.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was about to inject energy into the golden shield talisman treasure, the golden shield talisman treasure could not move freely. Wang Zhicheng and Yang Jin's attacks finally achieved a breakthrough. Two sword rays shot out from their long swords, leaving two bloody holes in Xiao Lingyu's ribs.
Xiao Lingyu was already seriously injured, and after being pierced by two sword rays, he felt his mind go blank and his body involuntarily retreated.
What Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that just as he retreated, his body fell down as if he had stepped on air.
Bang!!!
Xiao Lingyu, who was seriously injured and could not quickly stabilize his body, after falling for a while, he fiercely smashed into the ground. What entered his eyes was pitch-black, and there was only a foot of light under his feet, which was projected from above.
Where was this? Wasn't he leaning against the crooked ancient tree in the courtyard?
Xiao Lingyu was very puzzled, but he did not have time to think about it. He immediately forcefully channeled energy into his long sword, allowing the sword to emit light to expand his vision.
Wang Zhicheng and Yang Jin were a little stunned at this moment. After their sword rays pierced Xiao Lingyu, they also blasted the crooked tree behind Xiao Lingyu into sawdust. However, after that, there was a hole in the ground where the crooked tree was.
The two of them saw Xiao Lingyu fall with their own eyes, but they did not immediately chase after him. This was because the golden shield talisman treasure, which was obviously very powerful, had fallen under their feet. They bent down at the same time to pick it up and grab it at the same time.
At this moment, the two of them were a little embarrassed and hesitant. Should they let go or not? This golden shield talisman treasure was definitely not an ordinary item. For a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, it was definitely an existence that they could only dream of. Since it was already in their hands, how could they just give it up?
"Brother Yang will take care of this treasure first. After the matter is done, we will deal with it." Wang Zhicheng was more astute. He knew that before the matter was completed, the two of them could not fall out because of this, so he let go first.
Yang Jin actually also had plans to let go, but since Wang Zhicheng had already said so, he naturally would not refuse. He smiled and put away the golden shield talisman treasure, then the two of them walked towards the hole in the ground.
The hole was not very big, but it was enough for the two of them to fall down together. However, there was only a small area below that had light, and the surroundings were pitch black. They did not know what mysteries lay inside. Naturally, they could not see Xiao Lingyu, who had already moved, so they did not dare to rashly take the risk.
"This matter is very serious. We already have no way out. If we can't get rid of him, we won't be able to leave this medicine garden. When Ge Yunfei comes here one day, only death will await us." Wang Zhicheng took a deep breath and said.
"So, let's not dawdle any longer. Let's go down together." Yang Jin also said with a firm expression.
Wang Zhicheng nodded at Yang Jin, then the two of them jumped down into the hole together.
After the two of them landed, they used the light of their swords to illuminate their surroundings like Xiao Lingyu. After a moment, they saw a tunnel, and then they carefully groped their way over.
The tunnel was very narrow and very low. It could only allow one person to move forward like a cat. If one looked as far as they could, they would see nothing but pitch black.
It was obvious that Xiao Lingyu had definitely entered this tunnel. However, Wang Zhicheng and Yang Jin were in a dilemma. They would definitely go in to chase after him, but who would be in front? The person in front would definitely have to face Xiao Lingyu's crazy counterattack, and the person in front would have to face his companions. It could be said that they were in an awkward position.
"This is actually not difficult. In any case, there is no one else in this valley. No matter how big of a commotion we make here, no one will notice. Although this tunnel is small, we can open it up a little. Although it will be a lot slower, it will definitely be very safe. "
The shrewd Wang Zhicheng said with a smile as he waved the sharp sword in his hand and slashed at the entrance of the tunnel.
Unsurprisingly, the layer of soil at the entrance of the tunnel fell, and the entrance of the tunnel became much larger.
Then, the two of them opened up the tunnel's width while advancing forward.
Xiao Lingyu was indeed in this tunnel. However, he did not have the time to open up the tunnel's width. Instead, he endured the intense pain in his body and fled forward as fast as he could.
At the same time, he continuously circulated the Chaotic Essence Qi in his body to heal himself.
After about an hour, Xiao Lingyu passed through this narrow tunnel and arrived at a karst cave.
This karst cave was quite large, and the concentration of Spirit Qi inside was very dense. The Spirit Qi here was steaming like mist, almost in liquid form. In the center, there was a puddle formed entirely of Spirit Qi.
In the center of the puddle, there was a milky-white stalagmite that was one meter in diameter. However, the stalagmite seemed to have been cut in half by a sharp sword, and the top of the stalagmite was very flat.
