Chapter 726 Sparks
Xuan Feng and Lin Ze's swords slashed at the huge figure again and again, but only a few sparks flew, and the opponent was almost unscathed. The giant hand swept over again, and the two were blown away by the strong airflow and fell heavily to the ground.
Just as they were struggling to get up, a strange light suddenly flashed in the cave, and a mysterious voice sounded: "If you can comprehend the ancient power in this cave, you may still have the strength to fight."
Xuanfeng and Linze looked at each other, and they understood each other, and saw a hint of determination in each other's eyes. They took a deep breath and resolutely decided to take the risk.
The two of them carefully explored the cave, not leaving out any corner. Suddenly, Xuan Feng's eyes were attracted by some strange symbols on the stone wall. These symbols were ancient and mysterious, as if they contained endless power.
Lin Ze also noticed these runes, and he stared at them, thinking. At this moment, the runes suddenly flashed, and a powerful energy poured into their bodies like a torrent.
This force made their bodies tremble slightly, and they felt their breath become stronger in an instant, as if infinite power was surging in their bodies.
Xuan Feng and Lin Ze looked at each other, and saw the surprise and confidence in each other's eyes. They rushed towards the huge figure again without hesitation. This time, their attack became extremely fierce, and every move contained powerful power.
The huge figure seemed to feel threatened and began to fight back frantically. The cave was shaking under its attack and rocks kept falling from the top.
However, Xuanfeng and Lin Ze did not retreat. They gritted their teeth, concentrated all their strength, and delivered the final blow.
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and the huge figure collapsed in the light, turning into countless fragments and dissipating in the air.
As the figure disappeared, the cave stopped shaking and sunlight poured in through the entrance, illuminating the entire cave.
Xuan Feng and Lin Ze panted and stood there exhausted. They successfully defeated this powerful enemy, but they also paid a huge price.
After a while, they recovered some strength and slowly walked out of the cave, dragging their tired bodies.
When they stepped out of the cave, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The originally peaceful valley was now full of traces of battle, with destroyed trees and stones everywhere, and a pungent smell of blood in the air. A group of mysterious men in black were fighting fiercely with their fellow disciples, who were clearly at a disadvantage, and many of them had already fallen to the ground injured.
Xuan Feng and Lin Ze looked at each other, their eyes burning with rage, as if they wanted to devour each other. They completely ignored their physical fatigue and rushed into the fierce battle without hesitation.
The long sword in Xuanfeng's hand swung rapidly in the air, and each swing brought with it the ancient power obtained from the cave. That power was like a whirlwind, sweeping the surrounding black-clothed people. Wherever it passed, the black-clothed people fell to the ground with screams, unable to get up again.
Lin Ze was not to be outdone, his punches and kicks were as fierce as a storm, and each move contained great power. His figure shuttled through the crowd like a ghost, repelling the approaching men in black one by one.
With the strong support of Xuanfeng and Linze, the fellow disciples who were originally at a disadvantage gradually stabilized their position. They began to cooperate with each other, exerting their respective strengths, and launched a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the man in black.
After a fierce battle, the men in black finally realized that the situation was not favorable for them and began to retreat. Seeing this, Xuanfeng and Linze immediately wanted to chase them, but their physical strength had been exhausted in the previous battle. Their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. They could only watch the men in black disappear into the mountains and forests like ghosts.
After the battle, Xuanfeng and Linze dragged their exhausted bodies to meet up with their fellow disciples. They sat together and began to ask about the cause of this sudden battle. However, when they heard the answer, they fell into a deeper mystery...
A fellow disciple said in grief and indignation: "These men in black suddenly appeared, saying that they wanted to snatch an ancient artifact guarding our sect. But we don't even know where this artifact is!" Xuanfeng frowned, thinking about the ancient power obtained in the cave. Could it be related to the artifact?
At this moment, a fellow disciple who was seriously injured struggled to take out a broken token from his arms. The token looked very old, and there were some mysterious and complex patterns engraved on it, as if it was hiding some important information.
The fellow disciple handed the token to Lin Ze with trembling hands, and said weakly: "I fought hard to snatch this from a man in black. Maybe it can help us find the whereabouts of those men in black."
Seeing this, Lin Ze was startled and quickly brought the token closer to his eyes, trying to see the details of the image. The blurry image gradually became clearer, as if it was being pulled by some force and slowly appeared in front of him.
As the light grew stronger, the full picture of the underground palace gradually emerged. It was a large-scale building with walls towering into the sky, giving people a sense of oppression. The strange symbols and patterns on the walls flashed with strange light, which made people shudder.
The black stone slabs on the ground were as smooth as a mirror, but they gave off a chill, as if coming from the depths of hell. In the center of the palace, there was a huge stone platform, standing there like a small hill. On the stone platform was an object that exuded a mysterious aura. Due to the distance, Lin Ze could not see clearly what it was.
The entire underground palace was shrouded in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, which made people shudder. Lin Ze couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, thinking to himself: "What on earth is this place? Why does the token show such an image?"
Just when Lin Ze was full of doubts, Xuan Feng came over, stared at the image on the token, frowned, and said, "This underground palace may be related to the ancient artifact." After hearing this, everyone gathered around and talked about it.
At this time, an older fellow disciple said: "I have heard that there seems to be a mysterious underground palace hidden under the forbidden area of our sect. Could it be this place?" Xuanfeng and Lin Ze looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
After careful consideration, they resolutely decided to go to the sect's forbidden area to find out what was going on. Under the guidance of several experienced fellow disciples, they carefully approached the forbidden area.
As soon as they stepped into the forbidden area, a strong and suffocating breath rushed towards them like a surging wave. This breath was like a giant beast hidden in the dark, coldly watching their every move with its invisible eyes.
Xuan Feng's heart tightened, he tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, the sword body trembled slightly, as if he also felt the pressure of this breath. Lin Ze quickly used the ancient power obtained from the cave, gathered it around his body, and formed a layer of light energy shield to resist possible attacks.
However, just as they were on high alert, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. Accompanied by a dull roar, sharp stone spikes emerged from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain, rushing towards them at an alarming speed!
