Apart from Niu Youdao who was running at the front, the rest of the pursuers were all Golden Core realm experts.
From this, it could be seen that in order to kill a Foundation Establishment Niu Youdao, the mastermind must have invested a lot of resources. They were determined to kill Niu Youdao.
Similarly, it could be seen that in order to protect his life, Niu Youdao had expended a huge amount of resources. He had mobilized more than ten Golden Core realm cultivators from the three sects to protect him!
The difference in cultivation between the two parties was too great, and they would soon catch up.
As he landed, Niu Youdao suddenly struck the ground with his palm. Bang, the sand exploded. He fell from the sky and disappeared into the sandstorm.
At the same time, the thin and tall man, who was a long distance ahead of the people behind him, drew his sword in the air and slashed out a sharp sword aura, hitting right at the place where Niu Youdao was hiding.
Amidst the swirling sand rain, at the same time as he landed, he waved his sword in the sand, slashing in all directions with his sharp sword aura.
After the sand fell to the ground, he raised his sword and looked around, but there was no sign of Niu Youdao.
He quickly put his sword behind his back and knelt on one knee. He pressed his palm on the ground and invoked his arts to sense. Soon, his eyebrows twitched. He spun his palm on the ground and shouted, "Open!"
His surging transcendence energy stirred and quickly created a hole in the sand. Then, he rushed in with his sword and the hole collapsed.
The three people who descended from the sky seemed to be somewhat speechless. Although they were all Golden Core cultivators, there was still a huge gap between Golden Core cultivators. Each of them cultivated different cultivation techniques, and the way they could display and control their magic power were also different.
They did not have the ability to run around in the desert.
With this delay, the ten people behind them caught up. The experts from the three sects surrounded the three people and attacked them!
The three people naturally resisted with all their might. The battle instantly reached its climax!
The tall and thin man, who was already deep in the ground, had Gang Qi revolving rapidly and violently around him, maintaining a certain amount of space around him. The revolving Gang Qi was like a drill, opening a path for him.
With a sword in hand, the lanky man was practically running on the ground as he chased after his target's hiding spot.
At this moment, Niu Youdao was trapped in the sand. He didn't have the ability to open up a space tens of meters deep like the tall and skinny man, but he wasn't afraid of the powerful pressure underground. He could find a subtle balance between the pressure.
He closed his eyes and became one with the sand around him. Silence!
Sensing that something was approaching quickly, the enemy's movements were too obvious, it was hard not to notice. Niu Youdao's brows twitched, he was secretly alarmed. Who was it? They actually sent out such an expert to kill him!
This time, it was his turn to groan inwardly. He knew that there was danger, but he still dared to come to this desert alone because he had this ability to rely on. He didn't expect to meet a true master!
This was definitely not a so-called Golden Core expert, but a true expert of the Golden Core realm!
After cursing eighteen generations of Shao Pingbo's ancestors in his heart, he did not dare to stay any longer. Using the Heaven and Earth Shift, he moved like a fish in the sand and quickly escaped into the depths of the ground.
He wanted to see if the opponent's ability to resist the pressure was better than his. Once the opponent could not withstand it, it would be his chance to escape.
One drifted in the sand, the other used his powerful transcendence energy to open up a path to kill.
After rushing down another tens of meters, Niu Youdao almost cursed out loud. There was no way down any more, it was actually rocks.
How could he swim in rocks? His Heaven and Earth Shift could only be used in the water and sand, it could not even move normal ground, not to mention hard rocks.
After running horizontally for another tens of meters, he found that it was still hard rocks.
There was no other way, he could not drill down anymore, he could only run horizontally.
However, the opponent's speed was too fast, the two sides were getting closer and closer.
Seeing that he was close, the tall and thin man suddenly waved his sword and slashed wildly.
A violent rumbling sound came from the sandy ground. Niu Youdao quickly waved his arm and pushed out his palm. A red light gushed out from his palm.
The current him was no longer the kid who did not have transcendence energy and could not control it. To him now, he could directly use his arts to control the protective talisman in his body.
Boom! The violent palm energy and the sharp sword Qi collided, it was as if there was a violent explosion.
Bang! Immediately after, a strange sound was heard, Niu Youdao could feel the sand flowing down rapidly, he could not help but be happy, the stone ground seemed to have been shaken open, there seemed to be space underneath.
Niu Youdao quickly followed the flowing sand and drilled down.
The flowing sand flowed down slightly, it seemed to have stopped again, Niu Youdao who rushed out of the sand found that there was nothing around him, he actually ran out of the sand, the surroundings were pitch black, it seemed to be empty.
He used his arts to look around, it seemed to be an underground tunnel.
A ray of light flashed, he summoned out the Moon Butterfly, it was really an underground tunnel reinforced by rocks.
What else was there to say, it did not matter where it was, as long as there was a way to escape, it was fine. He immediately flew through the tunnel, the Moon Butterfly accompanying him to illuminate the way.
The tall and thin man was still in the sand, however, was shocked. The violent collision just now had the force of the Stellar Energy revolving around him destroyed, he was immediately buried by the sand around him.
The huge pressure suddenly pressed down on him, he almost vomited out his internal organs, he desperately invoked his arts to resist.
The sudden change almost caused him to lose control, it was fortunate that he reacted quickly and invoked his arts to resist in time, otherwise he might really have been crushed into meat paste.
What caused him to be bewildered was, what was that powerful collision just now? Could it be that the kid was extravagantly using a 'Critical Talisman'?
Being able to injure Shopkeeper Pan was already surprising enough, but being able to run around in such a heavy underground pressure was already unbelievable enough, and now there was this explosive strike, it almost killed him!
The transcendence energy around him once again circulated, quickly opening up another space. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, he also felt a little relieved. Fortunately, that fellow Niu Youdao did not know about his previous situation, if he had taken the opportunity to attack him, he would definitely have died at his hands!
Although he was not a top-notch expert on the Rankings of Alchemy, he was still one of the top experts on the rankings. If he died at the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would really be a joke. Even if he did not die at his opponent's hands, letting a Foundation Establishment cultivator escape from under his nose was also a joke!
Temporarily dispelling all distracting thoughts, he continued to invoke his arts to continue chasing.
While pursuing horizontally, he had actually already stepped on the stone floor, but after running a few steps, he realized that something was wrong, the stone floor beneath his feet had cracked open.
After a moment of hesitation, he also dived in.
Very quickly, he crashed into the stone floor again, but the huge pressure around him had decreased by a lot.
Rushing to the side, he crashed into the stone wall again. Damn it!
Then, he changed his direction again, and his surroundings became empty. He realized that he had actually charged into a dark space from the sand.
His surroundings were pitch-black. After the revolving Gang Qi around him stopped, he could feel the quicksand flowing down behind him, burying his feet.
Invoking his arts to explore the surroundings, he also released the Moon Butterfly, only to find that he had entered an underground tunnel.
He didn't know where he had entered. Looking at the pile of sand behind him, then at the pitch-black end of the tunnel, he saw footprints on the ground in front of him, and immediately chased after them …
On the surface of the desert, under the joint attack of ten people, one of the three had already fallen.
The Lunar Disc of the Retained Immortal Sect spun rapidly under the moonlight, displaying its greatest power under the moonlight, constantly refracting the moonlight into the opponents' eyes.
Three Floating Cloud Sect cultivators faced two people head-on, four Lingxiu Mountain disciples assisted from the outside with their metal whips, and three Retained Immortal Sect cultivators used their Lunar Disc to confuse the enemy with the moonlight. The two assassins could only defend themselves.
The sand scorpions that continuously charged over from the surroundings were killed one after another!
On the other side of the battlefield, the situation was completely different. A large number of sand scorpions had smelled the scent of blood and surrounded them.
Shopkeeper Pan had already been trampled to the ground by a Retained Immortal Sect disciple. The latter angrily rebuked, "Traitor!"
If it wasn't for the fact that Niu Youdao had already said that he wanted the assassins alive, he would have cut him into a thousand pieces. The Retained Immortal Sect's reputation had been completely lost.
The other assassin let out a muffled groan in midair. Surrounded by two Floating Cloud Sect disciples, one of his arms was chopped off, and his back was slashed by a sword. A metal whip wrapped around his leg, and he was forcefully dragged down from the sky.
The people who had charged over quickly acted, restraining him.
The sand scorpions that had charged over without any regard for their lives were either killed on the spot or sent flying.
After capturing the two assassins alive, the five of them quickly discussed how to provide reinforcements. In the end, they decided that two of them would send the two assassins to the Boundless Pavilion, while the other three would go to support Niu Youdao.
It couldn't be helped. Niu Youdao had repeatedly instructed them to suffer along the way and sleep in the open while secretly following him. Moreover, he, Niu Youdao, didn't even hesitate to sacrifice himself as bait. There was a single objective that was of utmost importance, and that was to show weakness to lure the enemy and capture them alive!
Niu Youdao's intention was very simple. Once they needed to make a move, they had to capture at least one of the assassins alive!
Now that they had captured two of them, they could report back to their superiors.
Two of them carried the two assassins and flew into the sky. The other three quickly rose into the sky, passing over the sand scorpions that had erected their poisonous stingers, and flew in the direction that Niu Youdao had escaped …
Underground, the tall and skinny man stood at a fork in the road. He did not know which way to go. Yue Die shone the light on all three paths, but did not discover any footprints.
The tall and skinny man cursed inwardly. Niu Youdao had probably discovered that there would be footprints on the ground. His feet probably did not touch the ground, so he used the walls of the tunnel to walk on them.
Just as he was pondering, his ears suddenly twitched. He could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting.
After carefully identifying the source of the sounds, he realized that it was coming from the tunnel in front of him. His spirits lifted, he quickly moved forward.
However, he had some doubts. Even if Niu Youdao was in front of him, there shouldn't be any sounds of fighting. Wasn't this obviously exposing his whereabouts? Could it be that there was a trap waiting for him?
When the mission was handed down, someone had already reminded him repeatedly that Niu Youdao was extremely cunning and that he had to be careful!
Thinking of this, he could not help but maintain a high level of vigilance. He slowed down his speed and approached cautiously.
Little did he know that for Niu Youdao, he had suddenly arrived at a strange place and did not even know the terrain. In a moment of desperation, he would come up with a bullsh * t trap.
He went straight to the middle path of the fork in the road because he had experience. Regardless of what he did in his previous life, he had a keen eye for underground construction.
Along the way, he understood that the buildings on the surface had probably been buried by the sand. Perhaps it had something to do with the legendary ancient city.
