Before anyone could react, a huge black flame suddenly whizzed out from the cave in the distance, exploding in the crowd.
"Aaaah!"
Screams filled the air as ten-some martial artists were thrown into the air by the shockwaves of the explosion, the flames splashing down like a waterfall. These black flames were like maggots in one's bones, capable of burning away a martial artist's Stellar Energy.
"Save me! Hurry and save me!"
"Who's attacking us!?"
"Ah!"
Screams, explosions, angry curses, and blind attacks rang out incessantly. The entire cavern was in chaos, and this was only the beginning.
Behind the black flames, arcs of light flickered and streams of crescent-shaped saber Qi whistled out from the cave in the distance like a tide. Bangbangbang! Caught off guard and unable to dodge in time, the martial artists were cut in half by these sharp and invisible saber energies.
These people had not died to the claws of the Darkshadow Spider, but to these sudden attacks.
"Run! All of you, get out of here! "
With a final warning roar, Wang Chong charged into a cave without a second thought.
The black flames were the Fire of Mara, and the crescent moons of saber energy were the attacks of the bamboo hat men. Wang Chong was all too familiar with these attacks. If it were just one person, Wang Chong would have never retreated, but Wang Chong was well aware that what awaited him was not one or two black-clothed experts, but several dozen.
With his Psychic Energy, Wang Chong could even sense that man with the three-eyed deer mask who had used Stellar Energy to create golden hands to tear open the Origin Immortal Formation's barrier. The energy exuded by this man was enough to terrify even Wang Chong.
This kind of strength was not something they could resist at all. If they continued to stay here, only death awaited them. More importantly, in just a few moments, Wang Chong had sensed at least three fierce auras locking onto him.
It was the three terrifying bamboo hat men!
Bang!
Wang Chong immediately placed a green leaf in his mouth and pushed his energy to its limits. He then used the Void Movement Technique to flee with astonishing speed.
Not long after Wang Chong left, Stellar Energy rumbled through the cave, and a hair-raising Stellar Energy filled the air. Swishswishswish! Massive arcs of saber energy began to flicker through the cave, flashing past the fleeing martial artists.
As the saber light passed, the fleeing martial artists suddenly froze, their bodies frozen in place. Their eyes were still wide open, trembling, their bodies brimming with fear, but there was nothing they could do.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past, and ten meters behind them, a strange silhouette appeared.
That person's body leaned forward, one hand on the hilt of the saber at his waist, maintaining a posture of sheathing the saber. The bamboo hat on his head clearly indicated his identity, causing people to be shocked.
Swishswishswish!
As the bamboo hat man sheathed the last part of his saber, the remaining twenty-some martial artists suddenly split in two, starting from the waist. Their upper halves slid to the ground while their lower halves remained motionless. After a long while, they neatly fell to the ground like wooden stakes.
The thick stench of blood immediately filled the air.
"He reacted quite quickly!"
After easily finishing off twenty to thirty powerful martial artists like a ghost, the bamboo hat man turned his head to look in the direction Wang Chong had fled. They had come very quickly, and they had done their utmost to conceal their auras. The Psychic Seal underground had provided them with a natural layer of concealment.
In just a few moments, almost all the martial artists in the cave had fled. If not for Wang Chong's warning, he would have killed them all.
"This Child of Destruction is truly difficult to deal with. With that thing that old scoundrel Sindhu gave him, we'll be discovered before we can even get close."
"Relax! He can't get far!"
Said a vigorous voice, cold and sinister, suffused with viciousness and cruelty.
As he spoke, the other two bamboo hat men emerged from the cave in the back. The bamboo hat man at the very back exuded a powerful and boundless aura, like a storm. It was none other than the leader of the bamboo hat men who could transform into a golden giant.
If one looked carefully, one would realize that the eyes of these two were twinkling with cold light, like torches in the darkness.
This place sixteen thousand meters underground was so dark that one's vision was extremely limited. Even Wang Chong had to rely on Psychic Energy to see. But to the three bamboo hat men, the entire underground cave was as clear as day.
In the cave, the three of them stood side by side. Behind them, following the sound of footsteps, a large number of black-clothed experts with cold auras and silent expressions entered the cave one after another. In an instant, they filled the entire cave.
A few moments later, a powerful aura as bright as the sun appeared behind them. The man with the three-eyed deer mask slowly strode forward.
"Milord!"
All the men in black in the cave lowered their heads at the sight of the masked man, and even the three bamboo hat men lowered their heads, submissive expressions on their faces.
The man said nothing, his eyes sweeping over the cave like lightning bolts. His gaze quickly locked onto the massive ancient tree in the center of the cave and the threads of spider silk hanging down from it.
Even though Wang Chong had cleared away most of the spider silk in the cavern, there was still a significant amount left.
The man with the three-eyed deer mask was clearly rather surprised by these sparse strands of white silk.
"Milord, what's wrong?"
He asked when he saw the strange expression on the masked man's face.
The masked man did not immediately answer. Instead, there was a pensive look in his eyes.
"I truly didn't think that someone would be able to drive away this many-legged beast. Last time, our men entered this cave, and we lost many of our men here."
The masked man indifferently said.
As he spoke, his eyes swept over a strand of white spider silk hanging down from the tree and he flicked his finger. Ding! This translucent and sharp spider silk, which could cut through steel and even damage a WuZi Steel dagger, was instantly cut in two.
If Wang Chong, Young Master Qingyang, and the other martial artists were here, they would definitely be stunned. It was clear that this person's finger energy was so thick and condensed that not even the white spider silk could cut through it.
This cultivation was simply unimaginable.
Thwish!
Just as the two of them were speaking, an ear-piercing whistling sound suddenly rang out. In another cavern, a black cylindrical object shot towards the group of people in the cavern. However, it had only flown five or six zhang when, pa, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed that black cylindrical object. The black-robed man opened it and glanced at it. Then, he quickly walked behind the man with the three-eyed deer mask.
"Milord, we've searched. The people of the Origin Immortal Village have all disappeared. If my guess is correct, they should have noticed us by now. "
The man in black bowed and respectfully reported.
The cavern instantly fell silent. The surroundings were deathly still.
"Is that so?"
After a long while, the masked man sneered.
"They were basically the ones who dug these tunnels, and these fellows are the rats of these caves. It's basically impossible for us to completely hide from them."
"Milord, what do we do?"
The man in black asked.
"There's no need to worry about them. When the time comes, they'll naturally appear before us. Huang Lishi, I'll leave the Child of Destruction to you. Kill him as quickly as possible! After that, it's time for us to complete the final mission. "
The man with the three-eyed deer mask said in a deep voice.
"Heh, my lord, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. That brat won't be able to escape!"
A wicked smile appeared on the bamboo hat leader's lips as he waved a hand behind him.
"Everyone, follow me!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they moved as fast as lightning and disappeared from the cave like ghosts.
…
Putting aside the black-clothed man in the cave behind him, at this moment, Wang Chong was running through the cave at an astonishing speed. For some reason, Wang Chong felt that although the men in black didn't follow him, Wang Chong felt like he was being followed by a shadow.
And no matter how fast he was, he couldn't shake off this feeling.
"What's going on? I've already absorbed the Yong Beast's Psychic Energy, and my Psychic Energy has been reborn. It's impossible for anyone to lock onto me without me noticing!"
Wang Chong pushed the Void Movement Technique to its limits, rapidly advancing through the cave like a wisp of smoke. His mind was in turmoil as he raced through the cave, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
A few moments later, he felt his chest tighten and suffocate. Grimacing, Wang Chong took a green leaf from his bosom and placed it in his mouth. In just a moment, the suffocating feeling in his chest disappeared without a trace. His Astral Qi became smooth again, and even the speed of the Void Escape increased a lot.
"Fortunately, I have these leaves. I should be able to last for a while!"
Wang Chong mentally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before Wang Chong could completely exhale, a mocking voice came from behind him, like a cat toying with a mouse.
"Haha, kid, you truly are rather quick-witted. You actually used the Zhengqi League to deal with us. But this time, let's see where you can run! "
"How could this be!?"
Wang Chong's body trembled in shock. He had already spread his Psychic Energy to all the surrounding caves, but he couldn't find the bamboo hat man.
