"Hmph, hand over your life!"
Almost at the same time, an extremely cold voice came from above his head. Behind him, a powerful aura was rapidly approaching.
Young Master Qingyang's attendant, Sword Dragon, had taken action. Hong long, the shadow moved, and in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, layers of black clouds and lightning appeared above the Sword Dragon's head. And in the middle of these dark clouds, a strange demon god appeared, its fangs bared and its eyes as sharp as swords.
Feeling the huge aura behind him, the middle-aged martial artist's expression changed drastically. He didn't have any time to think. He suddenly turned his head and struck out with his palms. A majestic Gang Qi whistled out through his palms and collided heavily with the sword dragon behind him.
The strong wind was strong, and the two completely different forces collided with each other, producing a loud bang like the collision of steel.
Before the middle-aged martial artist could react, Sword Dragon's Stellar Energy immediately poured down, like maggots in a tarsal bone, passing through the middle-aged martial artist's palms and rapidly bursting into his body, flowing through his meridians and sealing off all the important acupoints in his body.
Plop. In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged martial artist's eyes widened and he fell to the ground like a wooden stake, motionless.
With a single move, Sword Dragon had completely sealed off the Stellar Energy in his body. After doing all this, Sword Dragon stooped down, reached out, and picked up the middle-aged martial artist. With a boom, he tossed him in front of Wang Chong, causing a cloud of dust to rise.
"Young Master, I leave this person to you."
Sword Dragon sternly said. His back was straight and his spirit was brimming with energy. It was like that exchange just now had been nothing to him.
Wang Chong faintly smiled, seemingly unsurprised by all this. Sword Dragon was a top-class expert trained by Young Master Qingyang and was only a step away from becoming an Imperial Great General, so this sort of performance was not surprising.
A few moments later, Wang Chong's gaze left Sword Dragon and fell on the middle-aged martial artist.
"Bastard! He actually dared to attack Young Master Wang! "
"He can actually use a flute to control that spider! He's definitely not with us!"
"Interrogate him and force him to reveal his origins! This fellow's background is definitely not simple! "
"This bastard killed Shen Chu. I must avenge him with my own hands!"
…
Seeing that the middle-aged martial artist had been captured, the surrounding martial artists were enraged. No matter how slow they were to react, they knew that this person could control poisonous spiders and was definitely not the same as them. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that it was deeply connected to the Origin Immortal Treasury.
However, due to the Darkshadow Spider lurking in the shadows, no one dared to approach it for the time being.
"Don't worry, that poisonous spider has already left!"
Wang Chong suddenly said. If it weren't for the flute's forceful control, the Darkshadow Spider wouldn't have been so bold as to return and appear in front of him.
"Tell me, who are you people!"
Wang Chong quickly lowered his head and looked at the middle-aged martial artist before him. However, the middle-aged martial artist only snorted coldly and turned his head away, pretending not to hear anything.
"Bastard, you're still so stubborn at a time like this! Gongzi Wang, let me teach him a lesson! I know at least one hundred and eight ways to make him reveal his true background. "
When the surrounding martial artists saw that person's performance, they all cursed and scolded him. Countless people had died to those traps, and now that they had finally found the person who had set everything up, their rage was palpable.
If not for the fact that Wang Chong was here, they would have already charged forward and executed him.
Wang Chong said nothing, only gestured for the agitated crowd to stop.
"You probably mixed in with the martial artists of the martial arts world from the start, right? From the surface all the way underground, all our movements were under your control. You truly are a shrewd person. But you say that we were selfish and greedy and dared to intrude into the Origin Immortal Lord's tomb. What's going on here? Isn't this where the Origin Immortal Lord's treasure was kept?
"Moreover, there are so many treasure maps of the Origin Immortal Art circulating in the martial arts world. We couldn't have made them ourselves, right? Since these treasure maps have been circulated, isn't it so that everyone can collect them and open the Origin Immortal Treasury so that the Origin Immortal Art can see the light of day once more? Isn't this the reason for the existence of the treasure maps in the first place?
"Moreover, the Origin Immortal Art has been lost for more than two hundred years, and it's practically extinct in the martial arts world. This sort of supreme art is not easy to pass down, and only those with exceptional comprehension ability and talent can cultivate it. Finding a successor for the Origin Immortal Art should have been the Origin Immortal Lord's will, right? "
Wang Chong crouched down and indifferently said.
"Hmph, you ignorant fools have no idea what you're doing. This sacred land is not the ordinary treasure trove you imagine it to be. You have no idea what will happen if this place is completely opened. It will be a disaster! No matter what, all of you will die! Just like that other group of greedy fools from several hundred years ago, none of you will be able to leave this place alive. Be buried with your greed and stupidity! "
The middle-aged martial artist cast his head aside, his voice suffused with immense resentment. After saying these curse-like words, he clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, ignoring Wang Chong.
"Buzz!"
Hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"It really was their doing!"
"You said several hundred years ago? What do you mean? Could it be that there were people who came here before and were all killed by you? "
"Bastard! What other schemes do you have that you've killed so many people! Just what are you up to!? "
"Kill him! Let me kill him!"
… …
The eyes of the crowd were red and agitated.
If one person was determined to go on a fortuitous encounter and adventure, then to another, it was just a scheme, and they were nothing more than pawns in this scheme. One could easily imagine the rage in their hearts.
The crowd surged forward, all of them wanting nothing more than to kill this middle-aged martial artist. But this middle-aged martial artist had been captured by Wang Chong and Sword Dragon, and without an order from the two, the crowd did not dare to act rashly.
"There's no need to waste your time. I'm only wasting my breath on you because I've already sent the message. All of you will die here very soon, hahaha! "
At this moment, the middle-aged warrior suddenly spoke. His eyes swept over the crowd, a strange smile on his lips. At the end, he began to heartily laugh, his voice brimming with derision.
"Impudent!"
"Bastard!"
"This old man will kill you right now! Let's see if you still dare to be so arrogant!"
The crowd was infuriated by this man's words. Only Wang Chong vaguely sensed that something was wrong. This middle-aged martial artist gave him a very strange feeling.
"Something's wrong!"
A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind, but it was already too late. "Aaaah!" With a cry of alarm, blood leaked from the corner of the middle-aged martial artist's mouth, and then his body went limp and motionless. But his face still maintained that bizarre and derisive smile.
"This scoundrel … he's dead!!"
A martial artist cried out in alarm.
"Bastard, do you still want to play dead?"
The other martial artist angrily grabbed him by the collar, unable to believe that he had died so easily.
"There's no need to try. He's already snapped his own meridians. He's completely dead."
Wang Chong slowly said.
If a person wanted to end their own life, especially if they had the intention from the start, it was very difficult for outsiders to stop them. The middle-aged martial artist clearly understood that he didn't stand much of a chance against Wang Chong, so he had intentionally provoked the crowd to buy himself some time.
"This … how could he be so fast?!"
A martial artist crouched down, checked his breathing, and then touched his body, which was gradually turning cold. He immediately understood.
In an instant, the cave was deathly silent, and everyone was stunned.
No one had expected this person to die like this, and without the slightest warning.
"So, all of this was to send a message?"
Wang Chong glanced at the middle-aged martial artist's corpse and slowly stood up. Wang Chong was not surprised by the middle-aged martial artist's death. Even if he hadn't committed suicide, the crowd probably wouldn't have let him go in the end.
However, the last words of this "middle-aged martial artist" made him think of many things.
"If that's the case, those people should be on their way after receiving the news."
Wang Chong began to think. He recalled the third party that had been secretly manipulating the Origin Immortal Formation.
Wang Chong wasn't afraid of a direct clash with these people, but it was clear that these people would never give him the chance to do so, given their personalities and style.
What Wang Chong was most worried about was that they were secretly controlling everything, constantly manipulating the mechanisms in the underground cavern. Whether it was the Dragonbeast, the Nightmare Beast, or the Darkshadow Spider, none of them were easy to deal with. Not even Wang Chong knew how many more such ambushes and traps were hidden in the Origin Immortal Treasury.
Wang Chong turned his head and scanned his surroundings. The cavern was completely silent, but Wang Chong could vaguely sense an invisible danger surging toward him.
"What's wrong?"
Young Master Qingyang and his personal guard Jian Long had walked over and whispered to Wang Chong, "Young Master Qingyang, you must be very careful.
"If that person is telling the truth, this place is no longer safe. We need to leave as quickly as possible."
Wang Chong sternly said.
"Mm."
Young Master Qingyang was taken aback, but he quickly nodded. This underground cave had become extremely dangerous. Even if Wang Chong hadn't said anything, they would have immediately prepared to leave.
"Look! What's that?!"
At this moment, a cry of alarm drew everyone's attention.
