Clang!
The sound of striking a bronze bell suddenly filled the underground space.
Cheng Yi stared at Chen Mu, his face slowly showing a look of surprise.
He abruptly turned his head to look at Bai Miaojin.
“What’s going on?” Just now they said that ordinary people can’t withstand the Heartless Bell?
Bai Miaojin frowned, her eyes fixed intently on Chen Mu.
“Try again.”
Without hesitation, Cheng Yi shook the Heartless Bell.
The massive sound of the bell once again pervaded the underground space, yet Chen Mu remained unmoved.
Chen Mu slightly lowered his head, the corners of his mouth lifting on both sides as he looked at Cheng Yi with a smile, “Why don’t you try again?”
Somehow, Cheng Yi felt as though someone had violently seized his heart.
A familiar feeling welled up inside him, and he couldn’t help but shout, “Who the hell are you?!”
Chen Mu’s smile faded as he looked indifferently at the other party.
“Five Ghosts Moving Mountain!”
A puff of black smoke suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Yi, swiftly enveloping him.
At the same moment, Chen Mu’s Soul Strength burst forth once more, with silver filaments flickering beneath his skin.
Ha!
With a roar, he violently shook his body.
Rustle!
The invisible force that had firmly enveloped him was now like the sea churned by the Seas Calming Divine Needle, swirling chaotically, unable to affect him in the slightest.
The next moment, Chen Mu, to Cui Cui’s astounded expression, aggressively charged at Bai Miaojin.
Clang!
Like metal clashing.
Two pairs of dark fists collided fiercely in mid-air. A circle of shock waves radiated out violently from the point of impact.
“Impossible!” Cui Cui could no longer keep her composure, staring incredulously at Chen Mu.
“How can you resist my Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles?!”
Bai Miaojin, however, showed an unexpected reaction, “Has your strength increased again?!”
Chen Mu was also inwardly shocked.
Now that his Cloud Mirage Shape Cultivation Technique and Shell Soul had reached Perfection, and with the addition of six other Shape Cultivation techniques’ Soul Strength, Bai Miaojin was actually able to hold on!
“You can actually compete with me in strength?!” For the first time, excitement flickered over Bai Miaojin’s usually calm face, “Come on! Have a good fight with me!”
No sooner had her words fallen than her fists, like raindrops, pummeled Chen Mu relentlessly.
Chen Mu, unwilling to show weakness, used the Sleeve Sword Technique to gather strength in his fists.
His already robust arms swelled even more.
His fists buzzed through the air like the wings of a bee.
Clang clang clang…
The continuous resonating sounds suddenly dominated the underground space.
With a face full of fervor, Chen Mu looked at Bai Miaojin, “I’ve practiced martial arts for thirteen years, and never before has anyone matched me in strength!”
He cracked a wide grin, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and glared fiercely at Bai Miaojin, “Today we’ll see who is superior, and decide life or death. Let’s see whose strength is greater, whose fists are stronger!”
“Delightful!” Bai Miaojin laughed heartily.
Her fists, like sledgehammers, pounded out faster and heavier!
“Little Bai, don’t mess up what’s important!” Cui Cui urged anxiously from the side.
“Shut up! Ever since I was young, I had a masculine appearance and developed a body as tough as copper muscles and iron bones.”
“I’ve never cared about the stares of others, and even if mocked by my family, I took it as sweet as candy.”
“What am I doing all this for? It’s for the ultimate strength!”
“Those so-called experts are like clay dolls, not withstanding a single blow!”
“It’s hard to find a worthy opponent, and today nobody will stop me!”
Chen Mu, too, was filled with wild enthusiasm, pushing his Soul Strength to the extreme, his body bulking up again, his clothes torn apart by his monstrous muscles.
“Come on!”
Clang!
It was like over a dozen bronze bells were struck at the same time, the sound erupting suddenly.
Chen Mu and Bai Miaojin’s fists collided once more.
The aftermath spread, and a fierce wind surged between the two of them.
“Hahaha! Exhilarating!” Bai Miaojin boomed with laughter.
Chen Mu joined in the laughter, “Hahaha! Five Ghosts Moving Mountain!”
… Experience tales at empire
Bang!
Accompanied by an explosive sound, thick black smoke billowed.
Rustle…
A large amount of soil fell.
Zhang Ye and his two companions, already covered in dirt, became even more disheveled.
But Zhang Ye was far from discouraged, excitedly approaching the pit created by the explosion.
The underground stone slabs had been blasted open by the black gunpowder to create a half-meter-deep crater.
“This thick?” Zhang Ye looked worried.
“Boss, if we blow it up one more time, this tunnel is going to collapse!” Zhen Fan, with a clump of mud on his head, looked up at the cellar ceiling, his face tense.
“Fortune favors the bold!” Zhang Ye clenched his teeth, “Keep blasting!”
Kui Tuo shrugged indifferently.
Let them fuss if they want to, he had already completely lost interest in the idea of getting rich with Zhang Ye.
“Boss? Am I seeing things?” Zhen Fan stared at the stone pit, his voice suddenly trembling.
“Look at you, scared of your own shadow, we haven’t even entered the tomb yet!” Zhang Ye said with dissatisfaction.
Kui Tuo’s face turned green, and he yanked on Zhang Ye’s sleeve violently.
“What?!” Zhang Ye glared at Kui Tuo.
“Look quickly!” Kui Tuo’s teeth were chattering!
They saw the large pit, originally half a meter deep and two meters in diameter, was slowly and steadfastly shrinking.
It was as if flesh was growing; little stones continuously proliferating and filling it in.
Is this tomb… alive?!
Zhang Ye felt a tingling on his scalp at that moment, “Maybe… we should run!”
…
“Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles!” Cui Cui moved her hands quickly.
An invisible force suddenly descended above Bai Miaojin’s head.
Like an umbrella, it firmly blocked a stretch of clouds large enough to cover half a basketball court above the secret chamber.
Chen Mu’s fists quickly turned into palms, grabbing Bai Miaojin’s wrist in one swoop.
Ignoring the weakness from his body being rapidly drained of vital energy.
He shouted loudly, putting more force into accelerating the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain.
“Ha!”
The secret technique of Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles instantly became shaky and on the verge of collapsing.
Bai Miaojin’s face changed drastically, her hands exerted force, but she could not break free.
Her legs lashed out repeatedly without hesitation.
Chen Mu, however, laughed heartily, staring intently at his opponent, his legs spinning like wheels, fighting for his life!
Who the hell wants to harm me, I’ll fight to the death and bite off a piece of flesh!
“Cheng Yi!” Cui Cui yelled anxiously.
Cheng Yi stood in the corner, his face pale, his right arm completely severed at the shoulder.
If he hadn’t dodged in time, half of his body would have been sliced off!
Hearing the shout, Cheng Yi’s face suddenly tightened, and he looked up at the dark clouds overhead with a gloomy expression.
“Cheng Yi!” Cui Cui called out again.
Chen Mu’s eyes suddenly spun, his icy gaze fixating on Cheng Yi.
That crazy look mixed with indifference, reminiscent of someone he knew, made Cheng Yi’s heart tremble.
He looked at Chen Mu, grinding his teeth viciously. His figure vanished instantly, and the next moment appeared beside the Four Directions Altar.
Jumping up to pluck two jade gourds, Cheng Yi gritted his teeth and looked at Bai Miaojin, “This is what I deserve!”
Immediately disregarding the standoff between the two, he darted into the hole above, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Chen Mu’s laughter grew even heartier!
Bang!
Chen Mu and Bai Miaojin’s legs collided once again.
Bai Miaojin took a deep breath, her arms radiating with Soul Strength, glowing as red hot as a branding iron.
A sharp pain suddenly shot through Chen Mu’s palms.
Bai Miaojin seized the opportunity, exerting strength rapidly to break free.
She immediately retreated to create some distance, her face no longer holding the previous frenzy, “Cease fire!”
Cui Cui was equally irritated, “If you don’t want to get trapped here, you better look up!”
Chen Mu withdrew the Five Ghosts, letting five clumps of black smoke spread around him.
His eyes fixed on the two opposite him, with a sidelong glance upwards.
The entrance, originally more than three meters in diameter, had now shrunk to two meters.
Chen Mu’s heart skipped a beat; no wonder Cheng Yi ran off so fast!
“The restriction of the secret chamber has been triggered, and the entrance will soon disappear.”
“Continuing to fight would do neither of us any good, how about we stop?” Bai Miaojin spoke calmly.
Chen Mu looked at the entrance, then at Cui Cui, who was feigning composure.
“Hah…” Chen Mu’s lips curled into a smirk, “You want to capture me when the odds are in your favor and now, facing a bad situation, you want to call a truce and make peace? Do you think I’m made of clay?”
Chen Mu glared coldly at the duo, “Do you really think I’m afraid to die?!”
Bai Miaojin stared at Chen Mu without a word.
Cui Cui glared fiercely at Chen Mu.
“Cui Cui,” Bai Miaojin said indifferently.
The last two Thousand Mechanism Tokens of the Four Directions Altar floated up from nowhere, slowly flying in front of Chen Mu.
Cui Cui, with a furious face, stared at Chen Mu, “Get out of here!”
Chen Mu snorted, and black smoke filled the air; the Thousand Mechanism Tokens immediately disappeared through teleportation.
The next moment, rolling black smoke concentrated under Chen Mu’s feet, lifting him up slowly.
Chen Mu looked down indifferently at the two, “The next time we meet, it’ll be life or death!”
Soon after, the black smoke roiled, carrying Chen Mu into the entrance, swiftly vanishing from sight.
