As the three continues running along the hallway, they saw in front of them a door that’s gradually getting larger in size eventually revealing itself to be an ajar metal door heavy enough for the immortal-like young man to make it budge only a little despite all his physical strength.
“The hell is this door made of?! Even Ah Tian is struggling to push it” the cunning-looking young man said as he walks around the door, trying to peer by the small opening of the door.
Seeing what’s happening inside, the young man rushed towards the ferocious-looking man’s side before saying to him, “I think we need to rush inside Ah Chen”.
The ferocious looking young man, wondering about the sudden hurry in the cunning-looking young man’s tone asks, “What’s the problem Old Wang?”.
“That… it’s better for you to just look at it” the cunning looking young man hesitated to say as he just looks towards the door’s opening, urging the ferocious looking young man to look at it.
“Wang Sheng, I swear to god if it’s one of your pranks again…” the ferocious looking young man, completely aware of the nature of this sworn brother tries to threaten but interrupted by the cunning-looking young man, Wang Sheng’s urgent voice.
“I promise it’s not, just look at it for heaven’s sake” Wang Sheng said as he pushed him towards the small opening in the door, behind it, the ferocious looking young man saw a large room, inside it a familiar black-haired beautiful figure joined by another figure of the same level of appearance, the two of them struggling to fend for themselves as waves of gigantic, rat-like creatures were flooding them in from other doors in the room.
“Bing Xue!!” the ferocious looking young man shouted as blood rushed to his head, his muscles bulging as he struggles to push the metal door only for it to stay in its place despite his hardest efforts.
“Calm down Huo Chen!! Wasting your strength now won’t do anything to help them” Wang Sheng said as he tries to pull the ferocious looking young man away from the door, the young man, Huo Chen refusing to let go as he pours all his strength to open the door.
“But… but… she’s trapped there!” Huo Chen said repeatedly as he desperately tries to push the door.
“Even Leng Yue was there! You think I have less reason to worry than you?!” Wang Sheng said as he looks towards the ferocious-looking young man, his eyes filled with worry and concern.
“Bing Xue? Leng Yue? Aren’t those two…” the immortal-like young man, hearing the two names from his new sworn brothers’ panicked and worried voice, interjected, snapping the two of their state, as they stare towards him.
“That, Old Tian…” the two young men, failing to figure out how to continue and explain, only avoided eye contact with the immortal-like young man, Wu Xiaotian.
“Looks like the two of you have a lot to tell me later” Wu Xiaotian said as he also peers in the gaps between the door, clearly remembering the owners of those names, curious about his two sworn brother’s reactions to what is happening inside.
Despite his curiosity though, he decided to put his questions for later as he felt the urgency from the two’s voice, putting his hands on the door once again, channeling his qi to increase his strength, the heavy metal door now opening at a consistent rate, and in a few seconds, creating an opening large enough for the three of them to enter the room.
As soon as they entered the room, the three young men showcased a martial might far leaving behind peers of their age. Wang Sheng, as well as Huo Chen dashed towards the location of the two young ladies, leaving behind a trail of burned or dismembered carcass along their way.
Arriving at the spot of the two young ladies, the two saw them quite disheveled, their breathing ragged yet still holding their sword firmly on their hands.
“It’s safe now…” the two young men simultaneously said as they approached the lady they are worried for respectively, assuring them as they pat their head causing the two ladies to pout their lips, the two young men avoiding this beautiful sight afraid that they might do something despite the inappropriate time.
Facing the approaching tide of rats, Huo Chen brandished his axe, infusing his qi in it causing a bright hot flame to materialize around the edges of the axe, tearing apart all of the beasts that blocked its way, while charring everything that was caught in its flames.
As he continues waving his axe, the area free of any battle was getting larger and larger, along with the flames released by the axe through his every swing.
His battle style is quite barbaric, using sheer brute force to swing his axe at an inhuman way that causes all the rats to be either torn into two by the axe and by the wind pressure caused by each swing, or getting burned into crisp by the flames all around it.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng’s style is quite brutal as well, moving in a peculiar way that makes him looks like a ghost, appearing and disappearing all around the battlefield as he either completely decapitate his enemies or disable them by leaving wounds deep enough to cut their major blood vessels and nerves.
Pulling multiple throwing daggers from his spatial ring, he throws it towards beasts from far away, causing them to fall down into a mini barricade, the others behind them forced to scatter, significantly easing the pressure on the people nearby.
Seeing a relatively large group of rats, he unhesitatingly moves towards them, leaving behind an artistic canvas of death, heads of rats either cleanly severed from their head or completely split to two.
‘Seems like I don’t need to do anything…’ Seeing the two of them completely destroying the beasts, Wu Xiaotian smiled wryly as he didn’t expect the two of them going full power just because they saw the two young ladies seemingly distressed by the rat beasts. As he approaches closer towards the two, he completed his observation of the room.
‘Six more doors in addition to the one we come from, all of them have rats coming out of them’ he said as he spread his senses, detecting a staggering amount of the rat beasts still approaching from the six hallways. Finding out about this, he shouted towards his two brothers, concerned that they might tire themselves out before the next wave comes.
“Brother Wang, Brother Huo, you should take it easy for now, there are still a lot of them coming towards us” Wu Xiaotian warned as dozens of rats surrounds him, pouncing at him altogether, only for a streak of light to flash, leaving a coin sized hole right in the middle of the beasts’ head.
‘Soul power is really convenient huh…’ he said as he snapped his hands, numbers of small objects from the ground, fragments of metals, stones, even bones of either fallen cultivators or beasts starting to lift off the ground.
Floating all around him, he nodded in satisfaction before he waves his hand, the floating objects responding by shooting around, causing the air to whistle as they passed by, leaving behind multiple holes as they pierce through their targets, completely neutralizing the beasts inside the room, even catching some beasts in the hallway within the crossfire.
Seeing all of the giant rats falling down before they even swing their weapons again, Wang Sheng and Huo Chen traced the origin of the attack based on the angle of the holes in the rats, eventually landing their sight on a nodding Wu Xiaotian, seemingly satisfied by whatever he had just done.
“What a monster…” the two of them muttered in unison as they shook their head and wryly smiled towards this monstrous sworn brother of them, before rushing towards the two young ladies with relief and worry mixed in their eyes.fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
