Chapter 72: Tunnel of Death

  "Whoosh!"

  Not having the slightest idea that danger was approaching from behind, the few people in front suddenly stopped running quickly because they suddenly discovered that the target had been lost.

  Under the illumination of Huoyu Beast, looking at the dark passage ahead, the four people's faces were all somewhat gloomy.

  "Damn it, how did he disappear out of thin air?"

  "He's just in the middle of his cultivation, how can he be so fast? Linear pursuit, not a bit slower than us?"

  "Can't be found, it seems that his mysterious martial arts skills that day were able to conceal his aura. No wonder we couldn't detect him earlier."

  ……

  Among the gloomy faces, three monks in a row, including Feng Mu Zhe, all looked somewhat stern.

  It was at this moment that a monk at the end of the team suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

  Because he suddenly found that his external protective cover and the storage ring on his hand had a sudden surge in quality.

  If it were in peacetime, this trend would naturally make him ecstatic, but now, it also represents that these magical instruments will lose control.

  With a scream, the monk was even more frightened and wanted to flee.

  The problem is that the sewer here is too narrow, it can only accommodate one person to pass through, either forward or backward! But in front of him, there were three people, and also a guiding light symbol fire beast.

  "Behind!!"

  In the midst of his heart being torn apart, the cultivator could only let out a loud cry as he manipulated his flying sword to slash wildly behind him. He then completely disregarded the trajectory of the flying sword and instead used his true fire to melt the defensive artifact on his chest.

  But that flying sword had just whizzed out, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, raised his arms, and brought out two icy silver lights, chopping down vertically.

  "Boom! Bang!"

  ……

  Xu Yu's move this time was truly merciless, the two mid-grade flying swords he had obtained earlier were imbued with his full strength and also brought out a tenth of the power of the earth.

  It fell like a sky curtain, crashing down suddenly.

  Rumble...

  A low, muffled growl of extreme terror rose up right where it was.

  At midnight, when the power of heaven and earth is dense, the power brought by the second move of Treading on Emptiness, even if it's only a tenth, is absolutely astonishing. Although this degree still can't break through the opponent's protective shield, it suddenly sends that cultivator flying backward, his entire body lifted off the ground.

  He crashed even harder into his rear, just as another cultivator who had just controlled the flying sword was about to strike.

  Then, the monk, including the flying sword he had just raised, was also thrown backwards by the terrifying impact.

  One after another, several figures were sent flying, all of them tumbling through the air like gourds. Even though these few people had only suffered a powerful impact and were uninjured, they could no longer maintain their composure. The flying swords that had been launched also became disordered.

  This was exactly the effect that Xu Yu wanted. Taking advantage of his opponent's unstable body, he manipulated the spiritual energy to merge and eliminate the control of the cultivator in front of him over the artifact. At the same time, he chased after the figure that was flying backwards again, and with a loud noise, he activated the power of the earth, striking down.

  After one blow, with a dull thud, several figures were again knocked to the ground like a string of radishes.

  Xu Yu still didn't hesitate in the slightest and continued his pursuit, unleashing a terrifying heavenly power to strike down.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Four or five consecutive strong attacks, like a continuous light curtain, poured down, and in the midst of several people losing control and flying about, the multiple spiritual energies that were rapidly merging finally reached their limit, directly erasing the cultivator's control over his weakened magic tool due to the repeated severe injuries he had suffered.

  This is his true plan, using the massive power to impact the figure in front of him, making them mutually rescue each other without any flaws, and then relying on the fusion of spiritual energy to release the real killing move!!

  No!!

  In an instant, he felt a void outside his body, and his entire body was thoroughly exposed to the opponent's sword. The storage ring could not be controlled at will, allowing him to take out new magic treasures to replace it. The cultivator was completely panicked, but because his body was still falling backwards, he also knocked over the two people behind him, making them tumble about in disarray. He couldn't do anything, nowhere to hide, nowhere to avoid, and could only muster up a divine thought, remotely controlling the flying sword that had been struck out earlier, instantly spinning back and chopping towards Xu Yu's back.

  Then he saw two silver lights in front of him, like a long snake, slashing down towards him.

  Along both shoulders, like cutting tofu, they crossed each other instantly.

  At almost the same time, the flying sword that had been circling around from behind also heavily chopped down on Xu Yu's back.

  "Hmm"

  Hardly able to withstand the powerful blow, Xu Yu's body paused for a moment. Just as he was about to continue his attack, two extremely sharp and fierce auras suddenly appeared in front of him, aiming straight at his waist with a slashing motion.

  The other two monks' movements were swift and deadly, they had just regained their composure when they launched a fierce attack.

  Ke Na finally slowed down a beat, and before the flying sword in front of him could pounce down, Xu Yu suddenly flashed to one side, just like a ghost, and directly disappeared from behind that flying sword.

  At the same time, the monk who was crossed by him finally slipped down, his entire upper body suddenly falling down with a "plop" sound, and a surge of blood also burst out in an instant.

  "Big Brother Han?!!"

  "Brother Han!!"

  ……

  The three people in front also barely stabilized their bodies until now, but unexpectedly, within these tens of seconds, the Korean surname cultivator at the very back had already fallen to the ground covered in blood?

  This bloody scene instantly made all three of them red-eyed.

  But at the same time, a deep sense of shock also made everyone present thoroughly stunned, and they secretly felt a burst of dizziness. What kind of joke is this? The Han surname cultivator was in the foundation building period, how could his protective shield not even last for such a short time?

  Who would have thought that a mere mid-stage cultivator could so swiftly slay a strong foundation stage practitioner?

  Even if the opponent's control is also a law enforcement agency, its quality is sharp enough, and even the opponent has brought the power of the earth, but after all, he is only in the middle of his cultivation period. How can he possibly cut through his protective shield with just a few swords?

  What's going on here?

  That guy, how can he be so terrifying?

  And also, his speed, as well as his ability to appear and disappear suddenly...

  Just thinking about this, even a slender middle-aged man who has reached the peak of the foundation period will be intimidated in an instant, let alone Feng Mu Zhe at the very front.

  At this time, Feng Mu Zhe softened completely after seeing the dismembered body of the Korean monk.

  My god, how can he be so terrifying?

  Even cultivators in the foundation stage with protective shields were killed so easily, then wouldn't a martial artist in the later stages of cultivation be slaughtered at will?

  "It's no good, quickly escape this desperate place!!"

  Just then, the thin middle-aged man in the middle suddenly froze, his complexion changing rapidly as he shouted repeatedly. Another monk was also greatly shocked at the same moment.

  They've been had!!

  Attracted to such a narrow space, unable to soar high, only one person can face the enemy at a time, and it's easier to be impacted by others, making them unsteady on their feet. It's really impossible to match strength because that guy's instantaneous explosive power is too terrifying.

  But for some people, it seems like they woke up a bit too late.

  Just as the two of them changed color, a figure with a hand-held double sword appeared again at the place where Xu Yu disappeared earlier, and it seemed to reappear like a midnight ghost.

  Feeling the chill in the air that suddenly descended after the other party flashed by, the three people on the scene were instantly frightened out of their wits, and they fled in all directions, fleeing for their lives.
