806: 235_2 806: 235_2 He had already been outside the cave, but now, retreating rapidly, he instantly flew out of the cave, and he was not the only one—Jin Quanguo and Huang Xihui were also forcibly ejected.
The sky had long since turned pitch black, and now, outside the cave, countless skeletons and resentful spirits had gathered.
If it had been four hours earlier, when they were ejected from the cave, there might have still been a slight chance to escape.
But now, no sooner had they just flown out than they were completely surrounded by skeletons and resentful spirits.
They did not use their Divine Skills, yet the skeletons firmly grasped the three of them—some seized their heads, some their bodies, others their legs, and some grabbed their arms.
They struggled frantically to break free, but there were too many skeletons, and some even had two skeletons seizing one of their legs or arms, preventing any escape no matter how much they struggled.
And one after another, the resentful spirits swooped in earlier.
The next moment, loud booms resonated.
Li Zhenlong and his two companions were literally torn apart by the skeletons and resentful spirits, an image akin to being dismembered by horses, as blood spurted towards the sky.
In a somewhat spacious cave, Crazy Ax watched the ongoing battle in the cave, his face suddenly showing a hint of excitement.
At his side, the other five’s expressions immediately turned grave.
Lan Mei even exclaimed in a low voice, “This cave, we’ve encountered it before, thought it was not as spacious as the one we are in now, so we chose this cave.
I even specifically marked the entrance of that cave, there is no mistake!”
“This cave is very close to us, so it’s very likely that we will encounter them!” TaMu whispered, “Moreover, we do not know the route they will take, so, tomorrow, it’s very likely we will encounter them.
We have already obtained the map, there’s no point in changing our route now.”
“Why change routes!” Crazy Ax excitedly watched Cao Zhen in the cave, his whole body trembling with excitement.
“I have long wanted to challenge Cao Zhen, to see just how strong the number one Golden Core Stage practitioner of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty really is.
Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.”
“What do you mean?” Lan Mei’s face suddenly changed, filled with disbelief as she asked Crazy Ax, “You can’t mean…”
“Exactly, I’ll go find him to spar!” Crazy Ax’s eyes fixed intently on Cao Zhen, speaking without even turning his head.
Around him, the others were shocked.
“Challenge him to a spar?
He’s accompanied by three others at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and these three are far stronger than typical Perfect Completion Golden Core practitioners.
If they attack together…”
“Although they are injured, their injuries do not seem severe!”
“Even if we join forces, although we have more numbers, the five of us may still not be able to stop those three.”
“It’s not certain whether the other guy will act, as he is not with Cao Zhen’s group.”
“Attacking Cao Zhen now would be unwise.”
As everyone discussed animatedly, Crazy Ax finally turned back and looked at them, disdainfully saying, “Whether you join or not, what’s that to me?
Tomorrow morning, I will go find Cao Zhen myself.”
Listening to Crazy Ax’s words, Lan Mei secretly calculated, imagining that if Crazy Ax engaged Cao Zhen tomorrow, the battle would certainly cause great turmoil.
At that time, it might attract other experts to investigate, and then, if everyone joined forces…
In a narrow cave.
The Eclipse Demon, as before, remained at the very edge of the cave entrance.
Inside the cave.
The third Prince, his expression grave, stared at the images on the wall, watching Li Zhenlong and the others being ejected.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the Sun Moon Demon and asked in a low voice, “Who is that man?
Why have I never heard of such a powerful expert in Hundred Peaks Sect before?
How has your Sun and Moon Demon Sect investigated this?”
The Eclipse Demon was momentarily stunned.
Since he was responsible for Hundred Peaks Sect and the third Prince was questioning the Sect Leader, he naturally had to answer, but he had truly never seen such experts at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection from Hundred Peaks Sect before.
“Prince,”
among those present, the only middle-aged man spoke softly, “That man is not from Hundred Peaks Sect.
I have heard of him; his name is Linghu Gudu, a lone wanderer.
Once, I wanted to recruit him, but because his whereabouts were unpredictable, I gave up.
However, I don’t know why he’s ended up with people from Hundred Peaks Sect.”/>
“Not from Hundred Peaks Sect?” The third Prince’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
After a moment, he spoke quietly, “Regardless, Hundred Peaks Sect is always a problem.
This time we enter the ruins, naturally aiming for the core of the ruins, but if we obtain the core of the ruins and the greatest treasures therein, if possible, we should also take this opportunity to eliminate Cao Zhen!
However, we must not alter our objective because of Cao Zhen.
This expedition into the ruins is of great importance and cannot be jeopardized!
Moreover, we are advancing too slowly; having only a map and no record.
The map is not important; the important thing is the record!”
