Darkness, endless darkness.
Li Chengfeng felt like he was in a vast ocean of darkness, as if he was being hit by waves after waves. His body was alternating between cold and hot.
Then, he heard an endless squeaking sound. At first, it was like a tsunami, but it quickly receded like a receding tide.
Then, there was a long, endless silence. Occasionally, he could hear the sound of something ticking.
A blurry buzzing sound came from afar. It sounded like an explosion, but it also sounded like a fight. It also sounded like swords clashing. He could not hear it clearly. Li Chengfeng tried hard to open his eyes, but he felt like his eyelids were being sewn shut. He wanted to move, but his body felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Chengfeng finally gathered enough energy and struggled to open his eyes.
He discovered that he seemed to be in a cave, surrounded by darkness, but in the darkness there were bursts of glowing green light, that was the phosphorescence of human bones.
With the help of the light, Li Chengfeng looked around and was shocked to find that he was in a pile of bones. These bones looked very small and did not belong to humans. From the fur that had not dried, he could tell that these were the corpses of giant rats.
They were piled up like a mountain, surrounding Li Chengfeng in the shape of a huge fan. Closest to Li Chengfeng were flowers and trees that had withered to the point of ash.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng fell into deep thought. This could be the Immortal Qi in his body acting on its own. First, he used the flowers and trees to form a cocoon to protect himself. At the same time, he mobilized the giant rats in the mountain and used their life force to heal himself.
Li Chengfeng shook his head. He recalled what had happened before, and suddenly remembered that he had taken Spiritual Sword's' Single Sword of Extreme Bliss'. After that, he lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was here.
He had no idea what had happened or why he was in this place.
But Li Chengfeng knew that he was definitely not in the cave where the Elder and the Wicked Old Woman lived. Although the Elder and the Wicked Old Woman lived in a cave, the cave was huge and spacious. The interior decoration was no different from an ordinary house.
But this place was dark and gloomy. The cave was so deep that he could not see the bottom. It could only fit four people side by side, and the highest point at the top was less than 1.8 meters. Li Chengfeng could not even walk straight.
Li Chengfeng did not know where he was, but he did not dare to come out. He quickly reached to his side and grabbed the Heaven Splitter Sword in his hand. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
Li Chengfeng propped himself up and picked up a thigh bone that was almost embedded into the mountain to light up the way. Then, he carefully felt his way forward.
After a few steps, Li Chengfeng heard another buzzing sound. This sound was soft and far away. If the cave was not so quiet, he would not have heard it clearly.
Li Chengfeng followed the sound. The further he walked, the clearer he could hear the sounds and movements in front of him. The louder the sound, the more the ground shook.
Li Chengfeng threw away the glowing bone in his hand, and carefully poked his head out of the cave. He saw nine men dressed in cultivator robes surrounding a man with a long sword in the middle of the cave. Three of the cultivators in the middle were casting a spell to control a golden wheel that spun in the air. The golden wheel buzzed and pressed down on the man with the long sword. The other six people were surrounding the man and attacking him so that he could not be distracted.
Li Chengfeng dropped the glowing bone in his hand and carefully poked his head out of the cave. He saw nine men in cultivator robes surrounding a sword-wielding man in the middle of the cave. Three of the cultivators in the middle were casting spells to control a golden wheel that spun in the air. The golden wheel buzzed as it pressed down on the sword-wielding man. The other six cultivators were attacking the man from all sides so that he could not be distracted.
The sword-wielding man was like a ferocious tiger. No matter what magic treasures or spells were thrown at him, he would only need to wave his sword to wipe them all out. Not only magic treasures, but even powerful magic treasures could not last one round against him.
The man was drenched in blood, like a wounded beast trapped in a cage. Although he was far away, Li Chengfeng could still feel the fierce aura from his body!
The man brandished his sword fiercely. Sword Qi swept out in all directions, and no one dared to block it. As he spat out blood, he cursed, "You shameless old thieves, you set up such a sinister trap to frame your father. Sooner or later, you will have retribution!"
None of the nine people answered. They just madly activated their magic arts and magic treasures, bombarding the man with all their might.
When the man saw the golden wheel above his head buzzing and getting lower and lower, he roared and swung his sword at the three cultivators who were controlling the golden wheel.
With a loud clang, a ray of orange light shot out like a giant scythe towards the three cultivators.
However, as soon as he swung his sword, three of the six cultivators immediately pounced forward. They instantly cast spells to set up a barrier, but the moment they did, the orange scythe smashed into them. However, when the scythe continued forward, it crashed into another barrier. In the end, the scythe's power was exhausted, and it shattered on the spot.
The sword did not succeed but it gave the man a brief moment to catch his breath. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he gritted his teeth and said, "None of you will leave this place alive today!"
With that, he raised the sword in his hand high up in the air, and then the sword released a terrifying orange light that quickly spread out like a tide.
One of the elderly cultivators screamed, "He's crazy!
Watch out!
Get into formation! "
When Li Chengfeng saw the orange light rushing towards him, he immediately retracted his head and hid behind a thick rock wall. A beam of orange light shot out from the entrance of the cave and shot through the mountain like a beam of light, piercing through the hard rock and exiting the deep and long cave.
The cut of the newly formed cave was as smooth as a mirror. Even the most skilled craftsman in the world would not be able to carve out such a smooth and round line with his tools.
When the buzzing orange light disappeared, Li Chengfeng heard that all movements in the cave had disappeared. He mustered his courage and poked his head out.
Inside the cave, the nine people had formed a small spell formation. However, eight of them had already turned into skeletons, and the last one was struggling to get up while coughing blood.
The man with the sword was already lying on the ground, motionless. He did not know if he was dead or alive.
When the man who got up spoke, Li Chengfeng recognised him as the elderly cultivator who spoke earlier. His voice also sounded … familiar!
Then, he heard the elderly cultivator's words. His hair stood on end!
