Chapter 727 Shattering the Stone Spikes
Xuanfeng reacted quickly and swung his sword, chopping off the approaching stone spikes.
Lin Ze was not to be outdone. He gathered strength in his hands and sent out a shock wave, shattering the stone spikes in front of him.
But the stone spikes continued to pour out, and they gradually became unable to withstand it.
Several fellow disciples also took action, using their own spells to resist the stone spikes.
Just when everyone was busy dealing with the situation, the stone thorns suddenly stopped attacking.
Just as everyone was still in shock, they heard a dull sound, and the ground seemed to be pushed open by something, and a huge stone man slowly rose up. This stone man was made of gray rocks, several feet high, and stood in front of everyone like a small mountain.
Its eyes flashed with a faint green light, revealing a heart-pounding chill, as if it could see into people's hearts. The powerful aura was like an invisible pressure, enveloping everyone present, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Upon seeing this, Xuanfeng's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful! This stone man is by no means an ordinary thing, and his strength must be unfathomable!" When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened, and they all tightened their weapons in their hands, staring at the stone man as if facing a great enemy.
In a flash, the stone man suddenly moved, taking huge steps, like a heavy tank, and rushed straight towards the crowd. It was so fast, like lightning, and it rushed to the front in the blink of an eye.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Xuanfeng was not afraid at all. He shouted loudly, leaped up like a bird, and the long sword in his hand drew a cold light in the air and chopped straight at the stone man's arm.
At the same time, Lin Ze took advantage of the opportunity when the stone man attacked from the front, and quickly flashed behind the stone man like a ghost. His eyes were as sharp as torches, and he quickly locked onto a vital part of the stone man's body, and stabbed out with the long sword in his hand, directly hitting the stone man's vital point.
With the tacit cooperation of Xuanfeng and Linze, the stone man's attack was successfully resolved. However, the stone man was very powerful after all, and although he suffered a certain degree of damage, he did not fall down.
Just when everyone was relieved, something unexpected happened. A dazzling light suddenly flashed from the stone man, and then, as if under a spell, it instantly split into three smaller stone men.
Although these three stone men were smaller than before, their strength was not diminished at all. They attacked at the same time. For a moment, fist shadows and sword lights intertwined, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
Faced with this sudden change, everyone was a little unprepared, but Xuanfeng and Linze did not panic. They looked at each other and instantly understood each other's intentions. Xuanfeng flashed and rushed into the group of stone men like a whirlwind, with the long sword in his hand flying up and down, dissolving the stone men's attacks one by one.
Lin Ze was waiting for an opportunity on the side. His eyes were like an eagle, closely watching the stone men's every move, looking for their flaws.
Under the leadership of Xuanfeng and Linze, the group gradually stabilized their position and began to fight back in an orderly manner. Although the three stone men were powerful, everyone worked together and cooperated tacitly, and gradually gained the upper hand.
However, the obstacles in this forbidden area are obviously more than that. Xuanfeng and Linze know that if they want to explore the secrets of the underground palace, they will have to face more difficulties and obstacles. But they do not back down and are determined to break through these obstacles and uncover the mystery hidden in the underground palace.
Just as everyone was fighting fiercely with the three stone men, the ground suddenly shook violently.
From the darkness in the distance, a group of stone beasts emerged, including stone wolves and stone tigers, and they roared and pounced on the crowd.
When his fellow disciples saw this, their faces turned pale. They had already consumed a lot of their energy fighting the stone men, and now there was a new enemy. The situation was extremely critical.
Xuan Feng gritted his teeth, his face full of determination. He shouted with all his strength: "Lin Ze, you take some people to deal with those stone beasts, and the rest of us and I will continue to deal with these stone men!"
When Lin Ze heard Xuanfeng's call, he nodded without hesitation, then quickly turned around and loudly called out to several of his fellow disciples to rush towards the ferocious stone beasts together.
Lin Ze swung the long sword in the air rapidly, bringing up a sharp sword energy that crisscrossed like lightning, and instantly knocked down several stone wolves that were rushing in the front.
On the other side, Xuan Feng's battle with the stone men became more and more intense. He shuttled between the stone men like a ghost, swinging his weapons continuously, and each attack contained huge power, hitting the stone men hard.
Suddenly, Xuan Feng found a perfect opportunity to attack, and he did not hesitate to use his full strength to strike. This strike was like a thunderbolt, and it smashed fiercely on a stone man with endless power.
With a loud bang, the stone man finally couldn't withstand Xuanfeng's fierce attack and was smashed to pieces in an instant, turning into countless pieces of gravel scattered all over the ground.
However, just when Xuan Feng was relieved, an accident suddenly happened. A stone tiger broke through the defense line at some point and pounced directly at a fellow disciple like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
Xuan Feng's heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly wanted to rush over to rescue. But just as he started, an unexpected scene happened - the fellow disciple actually burst out a strange power at the critical moment of life and death, and this power was like an invisible shield, forcibly repelling Shi Hu back.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. They stared with eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief. At this moment, they finally understood that the secrets hidden in this forbidden area were far more complicated than they had imagined, and the challenges that awaited them next would probably be even more difficult.
Just as everyone was shocked, the fellow disciple who had burst out with strange power looked confused, as if he didn't know what he had just done. Xuan Feng quickly calmed down and shouted, "No matter what, we must first deal with the enemy in front of us!"
At this tense moment, the stone beast and the remaining two stone men suddenly became more ferocious. Their attacks were like a storm, catching people off guard.
On Lin Ze's side, the stone wolves' cooperation was perfect. They kept attacking from all directions, not giving Lin Ze any chance to breathe. Lin Ze dodged left and right in the siege of the stone wolves, while looking for an opportunity to counterattack. Finally, he found a flaw in a stone wolf and stabbed it with a sword without hesitation.
However, what was unexpected was that the stone wolf suddenly turned sideways at the critical moment, not only avoiding Lin Ze's attack, but also forcing him back a few steps.
At the same time, the situation on Xuanfeng's side was not optimistic. The two stone men cooperated with each other very well, one attacking and the other defending, which made Xuanfeng a little overwhelmed. Although he had tried his best, the sweat on his forehead still rolled down like beads from a broken string, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to give up.
