"Don't be too optimistic. My golden body hasn't recovered; I'm still just a lump of rotten flesh, barely able to attack. If I encounter a high-level opponent, I might be able to kill them in one or two moves after my burst of power, or I might not. But even after my burst, I'm afraid I'll still shatter your life essence."
Li Changsheng muttered curses as he cleared the way.
"There are still some," Fang Ping replied.
"You little brat, you've really dug up their roots! No wonder they're chasing you so relentlessly. If you can get out of here alive, this old man's life is yours. Now it's time to fight my way out. You went to all that trouble to save me; I won't be satisfied even if I die now."
Li Changsheng said.
"Then you'll have to support me when I become the principal of Magic Martial Arts Academy, right?" Fang Ping said.
"You brat—what time is it for you to say such things?" Li Changsheng was so angry that he laughed. What time was this guy bringing this up? And this guy is only a fourth-rank and he wants to be the principal of Magic Martial Arts School. He doesn't take Wu Kuishan seriously at all.
"Fine, if we can get back this time, I'll personally bring Wu Kuishan down and make you the principal. You better be alive and well, don't die."
As they were talking, a figure burst through the soil and attacked them instantly.
Without a second thought, Old Li roared and unleashed an intense crimson light from his Calming Blade. With a single slash, the earth trembled and the passage collapsed.
"Give me energy."
Old Li shouted as he dug downwards, warning them not to go upwards, as there were ninth-grade demonic plants guarding the area. He added that the moment the two appeared, they would be obliterated by the spiritual power of the ninth-grade demonic plants.
At the same time, Old Man Li destroyed all the surrounding passages, and the entire outer city began to sway and collapse.
The underground warriors on the ground stopped attacking upon seeing this, first driving them out of the passage, and even the willow tree roots stopped attacking, instead stabilizing the passage.
The destruction of the city itself is not a big deal, but the underground mines are a serious matter if those mines are destroyed.
This gave Li Changsheng and Fang Ping a little time to catch their breath. The two of them quickly digested the life essence and at the same time dug a hole to leave the outside world. In just two days, a military base had been established in Nanjiang, Ruian, and the Cangshan branch. It can only be said that the speed of China is fast.
Many martial artists who planned to enter in the second batch have arrived, as well as many martial artists who were originally waiting here. On December 21, the first batch of martial artists entered the Nanjiang Cave. Today is the 23rd, and two days have passed. The second passage will soon be stable. What is the situation of the cave?
How many people were killed?
Have you captured any strongholds?
And once the channel is opened, will someone come to deliver intelligence?
Countless questions lingered in the minds of these people.
Outside the alloy building, several grandmaster-level experts stood like petrified statues, having stood there for a long time, their eyes fixed on the passage. Countless martial artists outside also watched. Today was the second time the passage would open; they all knew this.
Among the first group of people to enter may be their teachers, friends, and relatives.
Everyone present was very nervous.
Two days ago, the eight grandmasters entered the underground cave, accompanied by more than 20 sixth-rank experts, as well as several renowned prodigies.
Nobody knows what's going on inside, whether they're alive or dead.
Just as the grandmasters were all staring at the passage, an old man with gray hair suddenly jumped up and shouted angrily, "How dare you cause trouble here! Then stay here!"
The words had barely left his lips when a blade of light flashed across the sky, cleaving a mountaintop in two thousands of meters away.
A tremendous explosion followed, accompanied by a barely audible scream, as if something had been cleaved open along with the mountain.
"snort!"
The white-haired old man snorted again, returned to his original spot, and said coldly, "You clown!"
The other masters were shocked, with one exclaiming, "Old Zhao is getting more and more amazing! Is he about to take another step forward?"
Others may not know, but they saw it clearly: the white-haired old man, thousands of meters away, had just killed a seventh-rank official with a single strike.
A seventh-rank official is no ordinary person, but the fact that the cult sent someone out to gather information shows how much they valued it. Unfortunately, they encountered Elder Zhao, who sensed their presence even from a thousand meters away and killed them with a single blow.
"Is Old Zhao planning to take this a step further?"
A grandmaster saw Zhao Xingwu return and asked him something. After all, a typical ninth-rank cultivator simply couldn't kill a seventh-rank cultivator as easily and effortlessly as Zhao Xingwu.
"It's not that simple, we're still far from it," Zhao Xingwu said.
However, the surrounding masters all knew that this was Zhao Xingwu's modesty. After all, he was a powerful expert ranked eighth in the ninth rank, and he had basically already grasped the path to that level. He might break through at any time.
Just then, a square-faced man stepped forward and said, "It's already quite an achievement for Elder Zhao to have come to Nanjiang, but I, Bai, still have a shameless request."
"Commander Bai, please speak?" Zhao Xingwu asked, also somewhat curious about what the military commander of Nanjiang had to say.
"If, if, the situation in the Nanjiang underground cave is extremely dire, we hope that Elder Zhao can bring Governor Zhang back..."
After a few moments, Commander Bai gritted his teeth and said that his request sounded to others as if Zhang Dingnan's life was more important than other lives, and that he should save Zhang Dingnan instead of others.
But he had no choice; he had disagreed with Zhang Dingnan going down into the underground cave as early as when it was first opened.
But that couldn't stop Zhang Dingnan from going.
Although Zhang Dingnan is not the strongest, he has the greatest influence in Nanjiang. If he dies, the entire Nanjiang will be in chaos, so he really cannot die.
Zhao Xingwu said in a deep voice, "I will certainly do my utmost!"
Zhao Xingwu was aware of Zhang Dingnan's status and importance; he had come here to help stabilize Nanjiang.
After all, Nanjiang is not far from Zhongzhou. If things fall into chaos here, Zhongzhou won't fare much better. He understood the principle of mutual dependence.
Seeing that Zhao Xingwu had agreed, Commander Bai also gave a deep martial arts salute. The other grandmasters watched without saying anything. They all knew the situation and naturally wouldn't say anything here. They all said the same thing.
The energy channel inside the alloy house vibrated the next moment.
"The second passage is open. Everyone be careful of the people coming from the other side." Zhao Xingwu picked up his knife and prepared.
If a ninth-rank underground martial artist were to emerge from the opposite side, he would immediately drive the opponent into the passage, ensuring that the battle would not take place on the ground.
"Everyone else, stand back! Prepare for battle!"
A grandmaster shouted, and everyone began to retreat. If the ones who came out were underground warriors, this place would be dangerous.
Of course, it's also possible that no one will show up at all. If no one shows up, then it means...
The first group of people who entered were unable to return and report the situation, which was dire.
Time passed slowly, but the passage remained silent. Everyone was on edge, afraid to relax.
The next moment, the passageway shook; someone was coming!
