Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Underground Labyrinth

  Slap in the face! This is absolutely a naked slap in the face.

  What Haitian said earlier could be understood as nonsense, but now the situation of violent running has thoroughly appeared in front of us, and Breck is completely speechless.

  The sea and sky seemed to have turned upside down, but Hai Tian didn't go to reason with Burek. Instead, he shifted his gaze towards the old man in green robes who was already at a disadvantage in the center of the arena. Was it possible that even the Three-Star Sword King holding an initial-stage Xuan-tier sword wasn't a match for this mutated snow wolf?

  It's absolutely impossible, this Snow Wolf must have its own weakness!

  As soon as he thought of this, Hai Tian immediately began to ponder. The greatest possibility was the red area on Snow Wolf's back, but Snow Wolf protected it very well and didn't give Qing Yi old man any chance.

  Seeing the increasing number of wounds on the old man in green, Hai Tian's heart also became increasingly anxious. If this old man in green were to fall, they would probably have a hard time leaving this place today.

  Wudang escape technique? I'm afraid it would be detected by the Snow Wolf as soon as it's used. Dance of Emptiness? That's even more impossible, with his current strength, his sword energy is far from enough to support him flying out of the Falling Leaves Forest.

  Isn't there anything that can be done?

  It's not just Haitian who is anxious, Xiaoyun and the others have also become anxious. They're not stupid, they can see that the old man in green clothes has already fallen into a disadvantage. Xiumi suddenly raised her head and suggested: "Why don't we go help our teacher? With five people, we must be able to kill this snow wolf."

  "Five people?" Haitian suddenly understood and knew that Xiūmǐ's words had already included him.

  But Hai Tian shook his head: "I'm not going."

  "Aren't you going? Are you afraid now? You were so confident just a moment ago, but it turns out you're just a coward. Breck saw Hai Tian refuse and felt a thrill in his heart, as if he had grasped Hai Tian's weakness, and immediately jumped out to accuse him, as if trying to push Hai Tian into the abyss."

  Just then, Haitian didn't even glance at Blake, infuriating him to the point where he was fuming with rage and bellowed: "You coward, don't you have anything else to say? So you're just a smooth talker after all."

  "Bailei, don't talk like that, he must have his own thoughts." Little Yun came out to mediate again.

  This made Blake even angrier: "Xiao Yun, the teacher is in danger now. We should bravely rush forward to protect the teacher instead of chattering here!"

  Xiaoyun also hesitated at these words, and Rumi and another girl looked eager to try.

  Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, walked up to Hai Tian and asked softly: "You really won't go with us to rescue the teacher?"

  Although he didn't have a good impression of Breck, Xiaoyun had reminded him after all. Haitian hesitated for a moment before saying: "If you go to rescue her, it will only harm your teacher."

  "Bullshit! This is impossible! The teacher is the Three-Star Sword King, and with our combined strength, none of you can defeat this Snow Wolf!" Breck shouted in a fluster.

  The sea and sky disdainfully glanced at Blake: "Your teacher is indeed the Three-Star Sword King, and he can barely cope with Snow Wolf's attack now. But what can you do with this little strength? It's not even enough for Snow Wolf to look at. At that time, your teacher will not only need to deal with the troublesome Snow Wolf, but also protect you, so it's unlikely to lose to the monster."

  "You!" Blake glared at Haitian fiercely. To him, all of this was just an excuse for Haitian to escape.

  But Xiaoyi and the others, after hearing this, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads. What Haitian said was not wrong, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and they would not be able to provide any help by going up, but instead become a burden.

  "But then can the teacher still win?" Xiaoyun worriedly gazed at the battered old man in green clothes.

  At this point, Hai Tian was also at a loss for words. A pair of eyes scanned around, hoping to find a way to help the old man in green clothes. Suddenly, his gaze shifted to the small mountain beside him.

  He remembered that this was the destination he had been searching for, but now the cave was covered with a seal, making it impossible for him to find. If he could utilize the seal left by the Sword Sect's expert, he should be able to deal with this Snow Wolf.

  At the thought of this, Haitian immediately ran to that small hill under the uncomprehending gaze of the crowd and began searching carefully. If the seal was triggered, there would definitely be a special energy reaction.

  The sea and sky carefully touched this mountain stone, although the hidden ban on it may bring some danger to him, but he can't take care of that now.

  "Hey, what are you doing?" Xiaoyun looked at Haitian's strange movements and cried out in confusion.

  The sea and sky did not respond, but he carefully searched. Suddenly, his fingers touched a rock and made a loud rumbling sound, a huge flat rock suddenly moved away, revealing the dark cave inside.

  "Found it, it's here!" Haitian was overjoyed, never expecting that he wouldn't find any usable seals, but instead found the entrance to the cave left behind by that Sword Sect expert.

  "Come quickly, you can avoid the Snow Wolf's attack!" Haitian immediately shouted loudly. Now they simply didn't have the ability to deal with the Snow Wolf, so retreating was the best option.

  Xiao Yun and others hesitated for a moment, they couldn't abandon their teacher and run away.

  The old man in the green robe, although at a disadvantage in the fight, also noticed the movements of Shanghai Tian and others. Seeing Xiaoyun and others hesitating, he immediately shouted loudly: "You quickly go in, I will also go in soon."

  With the old man in green's words, Xiaoyun and others no longer hesitated and immediately ran towards the direction of the sea and sky.

  "Teacher, come quickly!" As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Xiaoyun shouted loudly.

  The old man in green nodded, and the Flame Cloud Sword in his hand shone with a red glow. The surging sword spirit energy began to gather on the sword body. Under the control of the old man in green, the tip of the Flame Cloud Sword suddenly shot out a powerful energy sword.

  "Boom!" The energy sword slammed heavily onto Snow Wolf's body, blasting flesh and skin outward.

  Taking advantage of the moment, the old man in green clothes hurriedly rushed towards the sea and sky. The snow wolf, having suffered such great pain, stirred up its ferocity even more, let out a loud roar to the sky, and rapidly chased after the old man in green clothes.

  "Teacher, hurry up!" Xiaoyun and others cried out anxiously.

  The old man in the green robe also displayed his fastest speed, and the remaining sword spirit power in his body had all been released. However, the gap between him and Snow Wolf was getting smaller and smaller.

  "Not good, at this rate the old man won't make it to the cave entrance and will be caught up." Hai Tian's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and in this critical moment, he directly jumped out and shouted, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Source!"

  In an instant, countless white short swords condensed in front of Haitian, and under the stunned gaze of Blake and others behind him, they fiercely shot towards the Snow Wolf that was closely pursuing the old man in green.

  "Aaah!" The Snow Wolf let out a pained cry, its fur gradually being stained red with fresh blood.

  "Hurry up! What are you still dazing about?" Haitian shouted urgently as he saw the old man in green clothes staring blankly at him.

  At this time, the old man in green clothes finally came back to his senses, and with a few swift steps, he jumped onto the small hill and entered the cave together with Hai Tian and others.

  A loud rumbling sound echoed again, and the massive stone weighing thousands of catties slowly began to close.

  The snow wolf let out a few angry howls and charged again. But before it could rush into the cave, the stone gate had already closed completely.

  "Roar!" The Snow Wolf let out a furious howl and its sharp claws pounded against the stone gate.

  But this stone gate was set up by the strong of Jianzong, how could it be destroyed by a small snow wolf? No matter how hard the snow wolf impacted, the stone gate still stood firmly upright.

  Inside the cave was a pitch-black mass, but everyone from Haotian clearly let out a sigh of relief.

  "Are you all right?" The old man in green clothes asked first, regardless of the pain on his body. It was just a moment of darkness, and he didn't know where Haitian and others were going.

  "Teacher, I'm fine." Xiaoyun and the others replied in succession. However, Hai Tian was panting heavily, as he had just used up his remaining sword spirit energy to cast "Ten Thousand Swords Return" for the last time, leaving him completely drained of sword spirit energy.

  "I'm fine too." Haitian replied weakly.

  The old man in the green robe also let out a sigh of relief when he heard Haitian's voice, and smiled with joy: "This young man is quite impressive, I didn't expect that I would be saved by you."

  "You just saved my life too, now we're even." Haitian said in a low voice.

  The old man in the green robe slightly raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly finding that Haitian was still a person who distinguished between gratitude and resentment. He couldn't help but laugh. However, he himself was also extremely disheveled at this moment, constantly panting heavily. Just now, to drive away the snow wolf, he had completely released all the sword spirit energy within his body.

  However, he couldn't care about the emptiness inside him, staring at the pitch blackness, and asked strangely: "What is this place?"

  Xiao Yun and others all fell silent, casting their eyes in the direction where the voice of Hai Tian had come from earlier, awaiting his response.

  "This is a senior's cultivation cave, it should be able to protect our temporary safety." Haotian did not disappoint everyone's expectations and replied, "There are many restrictions inside, don't move around randomly if you're not sure what's going on inside."

  "What's this nonsense? Is this another one of your fabrications? I don't believe it." Breck slapped the wall beside him, producing a crisp slapping sound: "See, nothing happened?"

  But his words had hardly fallen when a crisp crackling sound came, and everyone immediately felt that the ground under their feet had disappeared.

  "Not good!" Hai Tian suddenly cried out, just as he was about to leap up, but the sword spirit energy in his body had been exhausted, and his body felt empty and weak, falling down with everyone else.

  The old man in green clothes was no exception, and he fell down with Hai Tian and others.

  "Boom boom boom......" Everyone fell down, but fortunately, Haitian did not fall directly to the ground. There was actually a blanket under him.

  "Ow, you bastard, get me up!" Breck cried out in pain.

  The sea and sky shook as they stood up, coldly staring at Blake: "Don't you believe it now? This is the consequence of your reckless actions."

  "Ah!" Blake glared fiercely at Haitian, but he had nothing to say.

  "Stop arguing, look at your surroundings quickly." Xiaoyun's voice suddenly rang out.

  Haitian and Blake only then discovered that the walls around them were lined with night pearls, completely illuminating this dark cave.

  "Night Pearl, we're rich this time!" Breck rushed forward greedily.

  "Hmph, even if you get the Night Pearl, you'll still have to leave. Look around us."

  Breck only then noticed that there were more than a dozen small roads around them, each one looking exceptionally deep and mysterious, as if they were the open mouths of ferocious beasts waiting for people to enter.

  "We shouldn't be trapped in an underground labyrinth, should we?"
