Thirty people walked through a kilometer-long energy tunnel, constantly vigilant about what was happening on the other side.
As soon as Lu Hao entered, he noticed that this place was different from the underground caves in Shanghai.
The energy channels in the underground caves of Shanghai are so dense that you can't even detect the energy unless you project your mental energy outwards; the energy has already solidified.
As soon as you enter the Nanjiang passage, you can feel the overwhelming energy. The energy here is dissipated in the passage and has not yet solidified. "Wow, there is so much energy here. One day of cultivation here is probably equivalent to a month outside," Fang Ping said in surprise.
"No, it's too dangerous. We can't enter in the early stages, but once the energy channel is stable, these energy particles will quickly solidify and form a channel like other underground caves. Finding a channel to cultivate is simply not feasible," Wu Chuan explained.
As they were talking, the passage suddenly trembled, and the entire passage began to shake, looking like it was about to collapse. A large amount of energy was rampaging through the passage. Seeing this, Lu Hao quickly released his mental energy to stabilize the passage. If the passage was destroyed, none of the people present would survive.
A moment later, the energy surge stopped, and the passage ceased to tremble.
"Someone entered from the other side, probably a ninth-rank individual, but they left immediately."
Wu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Teacher Li, what just happened?" Fang Ping asked Li Changsheng, who was standing to the side.
"A ninth-rank official just came in from the other side. The passage is currently restricted to a certain number of people. If we come in, they won't be able to. If they force their way in, the consequences will be the same as before. The passage will be destroyed, and everyone who comes in will die."
Li Changsheng whispered to Fang Ping.
"Doesn't that mean that if the other side is ruthless enough, they could simply take us all down with them?"
Upon hearing what Li Changsheng said, Fang Ping felt a wave of fear and asked.
"Hmph, if they want to perish with us, they'd need to be at least a ninth-rank official. Even seventh or eighth-rank officials would be killed by Wu Chuan and his men. Only a ninth-rank official can guarantee they won't be killed immediately and can hold out until the passage is destroyed. And a ninth-rank official is the lord of a city in the underground cave. Do you think they'd perish with us just to prevent us from entering?"
Li Changsheng said with a smile.
"But that's still too risky, what if—"
Fang Ping muttered to himself.
"Insurance? Going down into the underground is dangerous, there's danger at any moment, what's a little danger in the passageway?"
Soon, we reached the end of the passage.
Wu Chuan took a deep breath and said, "The fact that the other side just entered means they must have been prepared. I'll go out first and disperse the martial artists around the passage. After ten seconds, the remaining Grandmasters will enter, and after twenty seconds, the Rank 6 martial artists will enter."
As for Fang Ping and the other two, wait about a minute before going in. Once inside, your fate is in your own hands. Try to run out as far as possible. Also, if the first group of people who enter can't report back, and the second group also fails to report back, they might disrupt the passage in an emergency. The survivors should lie in wait underground for the second passage to open, which should take about a year.
"clear-"
Everyone said in unison.
As for whether we can wait until the second opening of the underground cave, the chances are extremely slim, only one in ten thousand.
"Once we're out, proceed according to plan. Zhang Dingnan, you, Liu Polu, and the other sixth-rank officials will guard the passage. Keep it secure. Our reinforcements should arrive in two days at most."
After saying that, Wu Chuan took a deep breath, and a curved blade appeared in front of him. This was his divine weapon.
"I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, Wu Chuan didn't delay and stepped out.
The rest of the people waited, silently counting down—
Just then, Fang Ping took out a set of underground clothes from his backpack and quickly changed into them, while also putting on a wig.
"When I go out later, I'll chase after Li Hansong and the others. The rest of us will leave the battlefield and then cause trouble in the rear. Don't let the Grandmasters kill me like a caveman," Fang Ping said with a smile.
"It can't be hidden," Li Changsheng said, glancing at Fang Ping and shaking his head.
The biggest difference between the underground dwellers and humans is the different abilities they use. Humans use the power of blood and qi, while the underground dwellers use the power of energy.
It will be obvious once it erupts.
"That's not necessarily true. If we can keep it a secret, we can easily leave the battlefield," Fang Ping said. "Even if we can keep it a secret a little bit, it's still a little bit."
No one said anything more about Fang Ping's thoughts.
It doesn't matter what you wear; it's best if you can blend in, but it doesn't matter if you can't—you'll be hunted down anyway.
A moment later, Zhou Dingguo, an eighth-rank official, stepped forward and said, "I'll go first."
After saying that, he took two steps forward and disappeared into the passage.
Lu Hao also took out the divine blade from his own Sanjiao Gate. After merging it with his spiritual power manifestation, the baleful aura and killing intent on this divine weapon were already extremely thick.
It's turned a dark, almost blackish red.
It rapidly transforms the body's spiritual energy and blood into the power of heaven and earth, while simultaneously restoring spiritual energy.
After exchanging glances with several grandmasters, Lu Hao took a step forward.
Boom!
As soon as Lu Hao stepped out of the passage, he heard a loud noise. Looking up, he saw Wu Chuan fighting against a ninth-rank opponent, while Zhou Dingguo had three eighth-rank opponents battling.
The passageway was surrounded by the bodies of underground martial artists, so the situation was not too bad; at least it wasn't to the point where they couldn't resist.
The Grandmasters behind them also came out. As soon as the Grandmasters came out, a total of 10 Rank 7 Grandmasters from the Underground Cave came over, while Lu Hao's side had 6 Grandmasters.
However, Zhang Dingnan and Liu Polu's responsibility was to guard the passage, so they couldn't go all out. They had to watch over the passage and could only withstand a single seventh-rank "God-Slaying Slash!"
Seeing this, Lu Hao poured all the power of heaven and earth he had just converted into into the God-Slaying Blade, and slashed it at a seventh-rank expert charging towards him at full strength.
He shouted at the same time.
Instantly, a blood-red blade of light, several hundred meters long, slashed towards the seventh-ranked underground cultivator who was the first to charge forward.
Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass grew, and the entire void trembled.
Meanwhile, the long-haired, seventh-rank martial artist from the underground caves on the opposite side regretted rushing in so quickly. Originally, looking at the number of people on the other side, he wanted to choose an opponent as soon as possible to make a name for himself.
As a result, a massive blade of light came crashing down on them, and even the long-haired cave warrior could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within it.
I definitely couldn't handle it.
But the blade's edge was already upon them; the only way to survive was to desperately defend themselves.
"Block them!"
The long-haired cave warrior no longer cared about the cost; he focused all his energy on using his spiritual power and blood to convert the power of heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, his control over his qi and blood was not up to par, and the conversion was too slow. Even though the blade's light had reached him, he hadn't converted much of the power of heaven and earth.
Boom!
A sound no less loud than the previous ninth-rank battle rang out.
The crimson blade light instantly engulfed the long-haired seventh-rank martial artist, sending him flying dozens of meters before finally stopping.
The next moment, Lu Hao also received a notification from the panel: [Enemy killed, kill points +16171]
Killing a seventh-rank cultivator in one move is no small feat, considering Lu Hao just converted 150 liters of heaven and earth power.
The burst of energy from that last move had reached 75,000 calories.
