The old village chief’s reaction was swift.
Upon receiving the villagers’ message, he immediately rushed back with his men. The two beast-skin clad men left behind appeared somewhat surprised.
“Has the village chief finished searching the other locations so quickly?”
“Searching my ass, you two look back and see if the person is still there!”
Turning around, they indeed found the figure at the center of the formation gone.
The two guards were instantly greatly alarmed.
“This is impossible! We’ve been guarding here the whole time, when did he escape?”
The old village chief said grimly, “What’s the use of saying that now? Hurry and chase! All the remaining guys are also inside!”
The expressions of the two changed drastically.
Without a second word, they turned and charged inside.
Passing through the formation, they found no abnormalities whatsoever.
The old village chief, who felt the same, had a face so grim it looked like it could drip water.
“Village chief, hasn’t the formation spirit awakened? Why isn’t he under control?”
“I suspect he even dealt with the formation spirit!”
The old village chief gritted his teeth, realizing for the first time that cooperating with Li Zhonglou was an extremely foolish decision.
This time, it was a complete loss, losing both the army and the soldiers!
Initially, he had planned to have Li Zhonglou brought in for the formation spirit to control. Whether it was for consumption or possession, as long as the formation spirit had a host, it could exert the formation’s power beyond its limits.
At that time, let alone experts at the seventh layer, even those at the eighth layer, the old village chief was supremely confident!
But now, the assassins weren't stopped, they all went inside, and the formation spirit had lost its sensitivity!
“Quick! Follow me to the thunder pool first!”
The old village chief’s body emitted faint white light, his speed increasing again, and he charged ahead.
Knowing this was their limit speed, the villagers no longer held back, all pushing their extreme strength to rush forward.
King Kong Wolf and the others had also gathered by the thunder pool.
“Captain, we’ve checked all other places, there are no other paths. Only here, below, we don’t know where it leads.”
Everyone looked at the large pool before them.
This was also a cave. The difference was that it contained a pool-like pond. The water inside was very clear, but bottomless.
The reflection on the surface even carried a hint of darkness.
If it were related to the Divine Thunder Source, the pool’s color should have a white or purple glow. Thus, everyone did not associate it with the Divine Thunder Source.
After all, there had been no unusual activity from Li Zhonglou’s side.
“How about we send someone down to see what’s going on?”
Sin Angel proposed, but deciding who to send was also a problem.
Although there were differences in strength, everyone present had come out of life-and-death struggles. Those with lower intelligence had long since died on missions and could not have arrived here.
However, at this moment, the old village chief’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Get lost immediately!”
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, but then they heard a familiar voice.
“Everyone go down immediately, only by going down can you survive!”
It was Li Zhonglou.
King Kong Wolf and Sin Angel exchanged glances, their expressions overjoyed.
“Listen to Senior, let’s go!”
King Kong Wolf spoke first, leading the way into the pond.
Sin Angel did not immediately follow. Instead, he went to the back of the crowd and said sternly, “I’ll hold them off for you, hurry up!”
Of the five captains, only the two of them remained. Sin Angel understood perfectly that if he didn’t step up now and instead followed King Kong Wolf down, the position of captain would essentially be over for him.
Now, one went down first to explore, and the other stayed last to cover the rear, perfectly fulfilling the captain’s duty.
The remaining twenty-odd people, more than half of them were carrying a figure each.
They jumped into the pond with Chen Pingfan and the others.
Meanwhile, Sin Angel faced the enraged attack of the old village chief.
As the cave entrance was only about two meters wide, it could only accommodate two people squeezing in at once. With Sin Angel guarding here, he blocked all the paths.
“Get out of my way!”
The old village chief showed no mercy. Both his fists shone with bright white light, countless tiny lightning bolts appearing on his skin. He swung his fists directly at Sin Angel’s head.
The speed was fast, the power fierce, and just the aftermath caused surrounding rocks to loosen!
“Sin Blade!”
Sin Angel reached for his waist, where a half-broken blade was always tied.
He slightly lowered his body, assuming a iaijutsu stance.
As the old village chief’s fist was about to reach him, a dark energy suddenly erupted from Sin Angel’s eyes, his blue irises instantly turning black.
A strong sword intent suddenly surged within the cave.
“Wu Sheng!”
Chiu!
A bright light flashed.
The old village chief couldn’t even capture the outline of the blade. He only knew that his lightning power had been broken.
His expression changed drastically, and he quickly retracted his attack, turning around.
The next second.
A rock several meters behind the old village chief was instantly split into two, falling to the ground with a clatter.
Shock.
The old village chief looked at Sin Angel with lingering fear. The latter was breathing heavily, his chest heaving.
“What kind of move is that?”
The old village chief stopped. At this moment, the beast-skin villagers also arrived, looking at the chief with confusion.
Why did he stop?
Sin Angel did not answer, only looked coldly at the old village chief.
He understood very well that the other party was afraid he had a trick up his sleeve and dared not gamble again. If he spoke and revealed that he was truly nearing exhaustion, then it would be truly over.
Sin Angel could only try to make his aura appear as strong as possible, even hiding the trembling of his fingers behind the blade.
This move was already his ultimate trump card!
“I guess this is also a forbidden technique of yours. I don’t believe you can use it again.”
Seeing that everyone inside was about to jump in, the old village chief could no longer hold back and spoke first.
Sin Angel said coldly, “You can try.”
The old village chief’s brow furrowed, but he suddenly shouted at a beast-skin man beside him, “Xiao Liu, go!”
“Village chief…”
Xiao Liu hesitated. The others arrived a second late and didn't see what had just happened, but he had been following the old village chief. He had seen the power of that slash clearly!
Even the village chief almost became a casualty of the blade. If the other party still had any strength left, wouldn’t he be dead?
Seeing him not move, the old village chief shouted again, “Xiao Liu!”
If I’m going to die, I’ll die, but it’s the village chief’s order!
Xiao Liu’s eyes turned fierce, and just as he was about to act, Sin Angel suddenly grinned.
“Sorry, I won’t be accompanying you.”
The old village chief’s expression changed, and his figure flickered. But Sin Angel was faster. Before he could reach him, he had already jumped into the pond.
“Damn it!”
The old village chief appeared at the edge of the pond, but had no intention of going down.
“What should we do, village chief? We can’t go down without lifting the seal, but if we don’t lift it, we’re not their match.”
