Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

"Ma Chong, do you still think of me as a senior brother in your eyes? Don't you understand my status in Duotian Mountain? Am I giving you some face?"

Huan Zhuo finally couldn't bear it any longer and reached out to grab Ma Chong's shoulder as he was about to jump into the cave. He still had that unruly look on his face and shouted proudly.

"Humph" he raised his hand and swiped it away. Huan Zhuo's hand was thrown away rudely, and he turned his head and glared coldly.

"Face, you still know what face is! Is this Duotian Mountain? Is this the Ancient Wilderness Continent? Is there anyone else here besides you and me?"

These three consecutive questions instantly made Huan Zhuo a little overwhelmed. He didn't understand what the other party was going to say, but his heart sank slightly, because the answers to these three questions could all be answered with a "no".

He curled his lips in disdain and raised his chin slightly. This was the first time that Huan Zhuo saw Ma Chong like this. Ma Chong has always been a gloomy and low-key person. Even if there are times when senior brothers discuss things, they often just express some opinions and will never take the initiative to fight for anything, let alone make strong demands on others.

But his current appearance was completely different from the usual Ma Chong, which made Huan Zhuo feel even more unsure.

"Ever since we were in the Xuanwu Empire, all actions have been decided by you and obeyed your command. Liu Liang and I did not agree to let the weakest Junior Brother Li go to assassinate him, but you strongly advocated that he go alone.

What was the result? Junior brother Li died tragically at the hands of the other party, causing a large group of us to travel almost across half of the Xuanwu Empire to get here.

I suggested to wait and see for a while and not to take action rashly, but you refused to listen and pretended to be sophisticated and said that "the fisherman gets the benefit". Have you benefited? You didn't even get a damn thing, and ended up burying all the other brothers and sisters here. Now you still have the nerve to give orders. I'm afraid your face is thicker than this layer! "

"you……"

Huan Zhuo pointed at Ma Chong tremblingly, but could not say anything else except the word "you". Because Ma Chong was right and there was nothing wrong with his words and judgments, this made Huan Zhuo feel ashamed and angry, but he was unable to argue.

His command ability is indeed insufficient. To be fair, among the six brothers, the one with the best mind and the most suitable command is Ma Chong. Huan Zhuo himself is not even as good as Liu Liang, but he has a special status. After all, his name has the word "Huan" on it.

But the situation is different now. Just like the three questions Ma Chong originally asked, this is not Duotian Mountain, it is not an ancient wasteland, and there is no one else here anymore. Not only is his scheming inferior to Ma Chong's, but his cultivation and combat prowess are also inferior to his opponent's.

Huan Zhuo, whose face was red and white, suddenly said: "Don't forget, if I hadn't used the only life-saving shield before, neither of us would have survived until now."

Zuo Feng had noticed the approaching powerful aura in advance, and immediately took Amber to another fork in the road, successfully avoiding the second "air wave collision". Huan Zhuo and Ma Chong realized it a little late, but Ma Chong reacted very quickly and reminded the other party to use the "life-saving shield" at the critical moment.

The life-saving shield is a combination of formation jade and trapped spirit stone, which can instantly support a defensive shield to withstand a full blow from a peak powerhouse in the Qi-sensing stage.

This life-saving shield was given to some meritorious disciples by Duotian Mountain, and most of the disciples with the surname Huan were able to get one because of their close relationship.

Because the second ferocious beast also just passed by and did not take the initiative to attack with all its strength, the two of them were only knocked into the stone wall under the impact. That scream was actually caused by the two people colliding into each other in the shield. There were injuries, but they were not too serious.

However, the two of them did not die in the second "air wave collision", but were almost buried in the collapse of the top of the cave. What's even more terrible is that the two of them managed to escape with their lives. After escaping for a while down the shaky cave passage, they unfortunately encountered a ferocious beast that was digging.

With the strength of the two of them, they could have been able to deal with the ferocious beast, but that was only if the ferocious beast did not use its innate skill "Black Mist".

When the black mist shrouded the two of them, their cultivation and actions were immediately suppressed. At the same time, the use of spiritual energy was also a big burden. After finally defeating the ferocious beast, the other party suddenly made a sound to summon nearby companions. The two fought hard again, and finally collapsed part of the cave passage, and then they escaped here.

Looking at Huan Zhuo coldly, Ma Chong suddenly laughed, but the smile was gloomy and cold, and he said with a smile: "This reminds me that the life-saving shield is your last resort.

That's fine, if you want to leave, I won't stop you, especially if you want to go up, I have no objection. The ferocious beasts I saw before are all up there now, and the space above is extremely stable. I won’t stop you if you want to go, but I want to go down, and I want to get out of here alive. "

After saying that, Ma Chong ignored Huan Zhuo, but turned around and was about to jump into the hole. But I heard Huan Zhuo say hesitantly from behind: "Wait, wait, the top has collapsed so badly. I... I'd better go down below with you to try your luck."

Ma Chong smiled and nodded, and said: "It's not bad. You got the idea so quickly. You said you were so good already, and those fellow apprentices wouldn't have died. The most important thing in being a human being is to have self-knowledge and act according to my words. Maybe I can get you out of here."

While talking, Ma Chong slowly turned his head and jumped down the cave without hesitation. At this time, a sinister smile flashed across Ma Chong's face, and the smile was full of pride. He had been suppressed by Huan Zhuo for so many years. Even though he was better than him in all aspects, he had to obey him. Now he finally raised his head and felt secretly happy.

However, he did not notice that Huan Zhuo's expression at this time was different from before. Although his face was no longer arrogant, it seemed that endless resentment and hatred were hidden under his calm face.

The place where the two jumped down was naturally the same cave where Zuo Feng and Amber went down before. Huan Zhuo and Ma Chong were lucky enough to flee here in a panic. The two beasts that were originally here had been successfully solved by Zuo Feng, otherwise they would not have gone down so smoothly.

However, after reaching the passage below, Ma Chong chose a path that was completely opposite to Zuo Feng.

Coming down from the top, although the passage extends to the left and right sides, turning left is all the way downhill, while going right is slowly extending upward. Ma Chong had already decided to go down, so he naturally followed the path on the left and walked downward.

Zuo Feng, who had explored the surroundings before, not only had some understanding of the surrounding passages, but also had a vague guess about the entire underground "cave city".

So Zuo Feng judged that the left path would approach the center of the underground cave, and although the right path temporarily climbed upward, as long as it extended forward for a while, there would be a fork going down. The most important thing is that this road will go to the edge of the entire "cave city".

According to Zuo Feng's judgment, those fierce beasts should be breaking through the closed caves everywhere, so they will inevitably be completely dispersed. The closer to the center, the more fierce beasts there will be, and the greater the danger will be, so Zuo Feng will choose this path.

In such a cave maze, it is unknown when and where you will encounter fierce beasts. The disciples of Duotian Mountain and Zuo Feng made two different choices at the same location, and then there were two completely different results.

Zuo Feng and Amber began to move forward without any danger, although they chose to be close to the edge. Sometimes they often walk into a dead end, but they didn't encounter any danger.

In the two hours of continuous progress, the two only encountered a fierce beast again. And with the advantage of their innate skills that they were not afraid of fierce beasts, they killed the fierce beast without any danger.

Of course, they would not let go of the corpse. Amber directly sucked all the essence and energy from the fierce beast. Even if Amber wanted to suppress it, facing the abundant energy that was about to burst out in his body, he could only helplessly choose to improve his cultivation again.

Directly from the sixth level of the tendon hardening period, it was promoted to the eighth level of the tendon hardening period, and it was about to reach the threshold of the Qi sensing period. If it was usually so fast, and it could quickly stabilize the cultivation, anyone would probably be happy.

But Amber's body was obviously undergoing a change. Without knowing what the strange beast was, and whether the blood of the dove would have a more ferocious backlash in the body, Zuo Feng and Amber were both a little worried.

However, since the direction of advancement was set, Zuo Feng and his companions kept moving forward with their goal in mind. Although they took some detours, they did not really encounter any danger.

The two people from Duotian Mountain were a little more pitiful. Although their goal was also to move towards the bottom of the cave, the two of them rushed into the area where the beasts gathered.

If the two separated from Zuo Feng at the same point, they would have met a beast in less than half an hour. After a hard fight, the two had just gained the upper hand when the beast on the opposite side began to summon its companions.

The two hurriedly attacked the beast with all their strength and fled. If they had not escaped in time, they might have been surrounded by the beasts that rushed over. However, not long after the two fled, they met a beast digging a hole again.

At the critical moment, the beast whistled, and the two of them collapsed part of the cave as if they were hit in the vitals, and continued their escape.

During the crazy escape of Huan Zhuo and Ma Chong, there was one time when they were very close to Zuo Feng and his companions, less than three feet away from each other, but in different caves.

The two sides had no idea that the other was nearby. Zuo Feng and Hu Bo continued to move forward calmly to find a way down. Ma Chong and Huan Zhuo continued to flee in panic, trying to shake off the ferocious beast that was getting closer and closer behind them.
