45.There's something unclean underground!

The sky in the distance was shrouded in a gray mist, and the entire space was rolling like a solution mixed with silver mica powder. This was the space at the end of the secret realm, and beyond it was a place surrounded by mountains.

Diwu Lianfeng stood in the middle of the surrounding mountains, looking down with burning eyes at his feet. He had walked deeper into this area for another seven days, observing as he went. He was already certain in his heart that this was indeed an ancient battlefield. Fragments of damaged and rusted magical weapons could be seen everywhere, and there were also quite a few that still maintained their outer shapes but were completely decayed inside. This secret realm was somewhat worth exploring.

Now, collecting resources wasn't the most important thing anymore. It would be fine to snatch from others later. There might be treasures of great value in the secret realm. Currently, there were quite a few remnants of ancient soldiers on the periphery of this location, but the central area was surprisingly clean...

Diwu Lianfeng thought for a long time and then rose into the air. He activated the Fireball Technique with both hands, and two huge fireballs accurately smashed towards the position at his feet. The Fireball Technique was extremely powerful, and as soon as they landed, a two-meter-deep pit appeared. After repeatedly smashing down, in a short while, a large pit more than ten meters deep had been blasted out on the ground.

The others watched Diwu Lianfeng's rather unusual behavior but didn't dare to say anything. He was a genius from the Tianxin Domain, well-informed. If they said too much, he might get angry. This guy had a rather average temper, and even the sect master had to speak to him in a gentle voice.

Diwu Lianfeng slowly descended into the pit and carefully examined the soil layer that had been blasted through. When he saw the traces of the remnants of ancient soldiers appearing again in several places, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that there had been a great battle here, and it had been buried for too long. He wondered what new things he could dig out. Things from the ancient times were all kinds of strange, and not many of them remained in the world.

Thinking of this, Diwu Lianfeng rose into the air again and threw fireballs into the pit with both hands. But at this moment, a disciple of the Zixiao Sword Sect flew over. "Senior Brother, just now, five people flew over and then left."

"Don't mind them. If they dare to come, I'll kill them."

After bombarding with more than a dozen fireballs in a row, Diwu Lianfeng went deeper into the pit again. Now the entire tunnel was more than twenty meters deep into the ground. Looking at the increasingly hard soil layer and the dense weapons, Diwu Lianfeng's smile grew even wider.

However, not long after he smiled, his expression froze. It seemed that a trickle of blood was seeping out from the soil layer in front of him... He reached out and touched it. When he opened his palm, it was赫然 (obviously) blood, and it was still surging in his palm! A feeling of extreme coldness and chaos spread throughout his body along his palm.

Diwu Lianfeng's face immediately tensed up. Flames ignited in his palm, and he shook the blood onto the ground. A trace of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. This blood seemed to be alive! It wasn't a treasure; it seemed to be something unclean...

This wasn't his first time entering a secret realm. Although he had never encountered any danger before, the elders in his family had always repeatedly reminded him. There were far more dangers than opportunities in the secret realm, and he must be extremely careful.

This was a small secret realm, and its area was definitely not large. Moreover, the demon beasts that the spiritual energy could support were very limited. So far, the strongest one was only a demon beast at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. But now, this puddle of blood made the hair on his body stand on end.

He practiced the Fire Technique, which was specifically used to suppress evil spirits, but now it was having such a great impact on him. Something was wrong... There must be great danger below, something unpredictable!

Another trickle of blood seeped out from the soil layer, and the corners of Diwu Lianfeng's eyes twitched twice. The next second, without hesitation, he flew up into the air! Hovering above, he looked at the disciples of the Zixiao Sword Sect and roared, "Come on! Fill this pit for me right away!"

"Seriously, Senior Brother? You just dug it and now you want to fill it?"

"Stop talking nonsense! If you're even a second late, I'll skin you!"

The disciples of the Zixiao Sword Sect looked at each other, feeling extremely helpless. They could only go to the nearby mountain wall and carry back huge stones. Just as they were about to smash the stones into the pit, Diwu Lianfeng raised his hand and said tremblingly, "Be gentle. Don't smash it. Fly down, put it in place, and then come back..."

Seeing his nervous appearance, the others didn't dare to be negligent. They carried the stones and flew down, carefully placing them in. One huge stone after another was piled into the pit, and then the soil was filled in. After more than ten minutes of折腾 (fussing around), the huge pit that had been blasted out was filled up again and blocked tightly.

Diwu Lianfeng let out a long sigh of relief. A disciple beside him asked, "Senior Brother, what exactly happened?"

Diwu Lianfeng shook his head. "I don't know. I just have a bad feeling."

"Senior Brother, another team of people is coming!" The person beside him pointed at the sky and reminded him.

Diwu Lianfeng looked up and saw a woman with an expressionless face flying in the air on her sword in the distance, staring intently at him.

"Is this... a cultivator from the Xinglan Sect?" Diwu Lianfeng asked the disciple beside him.

"That's right."

Why was it a woman leading the team? Where was that guy who had taken the inheritance? Just as Diwu Lianfeng was feeling puzzled, Qi Lingshuang had already charged forward without saying a word. Billows of cold air directly froze the land within a dozen meters around. At the center of the extreme cold was the flying sword in Qi Lingshuang's hand.

Diwu Lianfeng raised his sword to block. The entire sword body turned red, bursting out flames, forcing Qi Lingshuang back. In the middle of a layer of frost, thick steam rose around Diwu Lianfeng, enveloping him. At the same time, the disciples of the Xinglan Sect had already started fighting with those of the Zixiao Sword Sect.

Before the steam dissipated, more than a dozen ice pillars as thick as arms rushed into it with a fierce killing intent. Caught off guard, Diwu Lianfeng blocked and retreated, saying hastily, "If you want to fight, that's fine, but don't fight here. Let's change the place!"

Qi Lingshuang ignored him and turned into a blue shooting star, charging directly towards him. The surrounding air currents rolled, forming a closed space. In an instant, she was close to Diwu Lianfeng and enveloped him in it. Countless sword shadows slashed horizontally and vertically. Her sword moves were as fast as lightning, and each move carried a biting cold. Ice shavings even started to fall from the air...

Amazing! So fast! While defending, Diwu Lianfeng was slightly surprised in his heart. Since entering the secret realm, she was the strongest person he had encountered. He didn't expect such a person to come from a small sect. But it wasn't strange either. Those who could reach the end of the secret realm obviously wouldn't be weak in strength. But with such strength... it was still not enough compared to him!

Diwu Lianfeng let out a furious roar, and his long sword vibrated! Flames flashed, mixed with an overwhelming power of destruction, sweeping around. The original biting cold in the air turned into intense heat. The frost on the ground melted and turned into scorched earth. But in less than a breath of time, the scorched earth was covered by frost again, and Qi Lingshuang charged up again. Her attacks came one after another like a violent storm and snow.

"You woman, can't you understand human language? I told you to change the place to fight!" Diwu Lianfeng roared angrily.

She was crazy! She was simply a crazy woman. There was no room for communication at all. She was clearly trying to kill him! Since there was no way to communicate, he could only end the battle quickly! With such a big commotion, he didn't know if that evil thing underground would cause any problems.

After several more moves, Diwu Lianfeng let out a low growl. He held his long sword upright in the air and made an overhead slash! A fire pillar as thick as a person shot out from the sword blade and directly slashed towards Qi Lingshuang. The fire pillar flew several meters, blasting countless amounts of soil into the air, plowing out a two-meter-long flame trench on the ground, and finally hitting Qi Lingshuang's sword precisely. Flames ignited from Qi Lingshuang's dark blue sword edge and kept jumping.

A ferocious smile appeared on Diwu Lianfeng's face. Celestial Luck Divine Ability... Eternal Fire!
