Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 97 Another Secret

The changes in emotions of the three burly men were clearly seen by Li Yunjing!

"Did we really miss something?"

"Steward Li, the Foundation Establishment experts from the Fu Family entered the cave, is there really something that can escape their Divine Sense?"

Li Yunjing pondered to himself. If Steward Li and the Foundation Establishment experts from the Fu Family hadn’t checked the cave, he wouldn’t believe it even if it killed him!

"Kill him! Let’s go back and get the stuff!"

The burly man ordered again, and the other two laughed strangely. With two black spears emanating intense Evil Qi, they attacked Li Yunjing’s body!

The burly man himself wielded a dark longsword. The sword’s aura flickered, dizzying as it parried Li Yunjing’s attack!

With a loud crash, their weapons collided. The burly man didn’t move an inch, but Li Yunjing was pushed back three steps, clearly suffering a slight disadvantage in strength.

Moreover, the other party’s longsword seemed peculiar, making Li Yunjing’s blood and Qi surge uncomfortably.

"Good lad! Quite skilled!"

The burly man was surprised, not expecting his strike to only make the opponent retreat!

In the burly man’s mind, this strike should have severely injured the opponent, allowing the two experts on either side to attack with their black spears from the left and right, inevitably killing this Outer Disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect in an instant!

The result was completely different from his expectations!

How could an Outer Disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect be this formidable?

This was different from the Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples he’d killed in the forest!

"Heh heh! Did you hide treasure in the cave? Well, don’t think about it. Someone already searched it before, and found nothing. I wasted my time too."

Suppressing his surprise, Li Yunjing retreated to the cave entrance and spoke provocatively.

"What? Someone else went in too?"

The burly man was shocked, slowing his actions.

"Big brother! Don’t be fooled by this kid!"

"Our treasure is hidden so secretively that even Foundation Establishment Cultivators can’t find it!"

"Let’s quickly kill him, take the treasure, and escape! If Sir Gongzi withdraws, we’ll all be killed by the Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

The man on the left shouted coldly, thrusting his spear towards Li Yunjing’s chest without slowing down!

"Swish!"

On the other side, their companion also aimed his spear at Li Yunjing’s forehead!

Their techniques were swift and ruthless!

The spear tips were like snakes flickering their tongues, dazzling Li Yunjing, forcing him to retreat deeper into the cave!

"Indeed! They can’t possibly know our secret!"

The burly man regained his spirit upon hearing this, placing great confidence in their hidden treasure spot!

With his emotions stabilized, the burly man relentlessly slashed at Li Yunjing with his sword.

His speed and strength were such that Li Yunjing kept retreating, unable to resist.

"Is there really a secret?"

While responding to the enemy’s attacks, Li Yunjing was alarmed.

He didn’t intend to call back Fu Chao and Steward Li.

Though these three enemies were strong, it didn’t mean they couldn’t be killed. To Li Yunjing, the Qi Cultivation Realm was just the Qi Cultivation Realm!

And Qi Cultivators could be killed!

Facing the possibility of hidden treasure, the fearless Li Yunjing was determined to fight!

He had many techniques and didn’t believe he couldn’t handle them!

Besides, if he couldn’t, he could still call Fu Chao and the others!

Having figured this out, Li Yunjing continued to defend and retreat down the tunnel.

The "Gale Boots" activated, maximizing his speed, and he quickly entered the left tunnel.

"Stop! Don’t chase! The Shenxiao Dao Sect will be here soon! Let’s go to the other side!"

Seeing Li Yunjing escape, the three men were frustrated, and the burly man sighed, commanding his companions towards the right tunnel!

Seeing this, Li Yunjing realized they didn’t chase him. He quickly understood the secret treasure must be in the right tunnel!

He immediately stopped, then charged out of the passage, entering the right tunnel, continuing to tail the three men.

Li Yunjing’s Divine Sense was extraordinarily strong, allowing him to track them from a distance without making a sound.

The right tunnel was extremely deep, stretching for ten miles before a fork appeared in front of Li Yunjing.

The tunnel split into two paths again.

"Didn’t expect it to be this deep!"

Li Yunjing was slightly surprised but quickly entered the right path, continuing to follow the three men.

Soon, a cool breeze hit, dropping the cave’s temperature by a dozen degrees.

Li Yunjing quickly dashed a few steps, finding no road ahead, arriving at a cliff.

"What a well-crafted Illusion Array!"

Based on the records in the Array Atlas, Li Yunjing inspected and inserted his Spiritual Sense, immediately unveiling the entire cave.

The cave’s bottom was vast, the stone walls were incredibly cool, with some ice shards.

At the cave’s end, in a corner, there was a pitch-black pool emitting cold air.

This pool explaining the significant temperature drop around it.

Seeing through the illusion, Li Yunjing smiled.

The three men had disappeared here.

The secret seemed to be in this pool.

Could they have hidden the treasure underwater?

The pool was extremely deep, with many aquatic creatures.

Lacking clear visibility, Li Yunjing estimated it was at least a thousand feet deep.

This depth caused the pool’s surface to reflect a dark glow.

The pool’s water clearly wasn’t ordinary; it seemed to be corrosive, severely limiting Divine Sense.

This truly was a perfect place to hide something!

Steward Li and the Foundation Establishment experts had missed this due to their arrogance regarding Tribulation Cultivators!

Li Yunjing warned himself to be more meticulous in the future to avoid such mistakes!

"Heh heh! Regardless of what’s down there, I’ll block them here and wait for them to come up!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing activated a reinforced Spirit Gathering Array beside the pool.

Instead of gathering Spiritual Energy with Spirit Stones, he activated the illusion function of the Spirit Gathering Array.

A mist shrouded the pool again.

Li Yunjing suppressed his aura to the limit.

He held a dozen talismans in one hand, and the "Cold Star Sword" in his right, ready to strike at any moment!

In preparation for a deadly strike, Li Yunjing emptied his mind, without joy or sorrow, harboring no killing intent!

This level of stealth would surprise innumerable same-level cultivators!

"Splash!"

A quarter-hour later, the pool water boiled as if something was surfacing.

"Ah! Ah!"

The next moment, water bubbled up, accompanied by two screams.

Li Yunjing was startled. What was happening?

"You..."

Suddenly, sword aura surged above the water, sending the two emerging spears flying away.

Louder noise ensued, stunning Li Yunjing.

The next instant, he realized there was infighting among the three!

No time to think, he stayed fully alert, waiting for the victor to emerge from the pool.

The situation had changed, favoring Li Yunjing significantly!

Perhaps he wouldn’t need to risk his life!

"Sorry, my two brothers!"

"Forgive your big brother’s unbrotherliness! Our foundation’s gone, and without this treasure, I’ll never reach Foundation Establishment!"

The burly man’s voice came from underwater.

Simultaneously, sword Qi continuously shot from the water, hitting the surrounding walls.

"You despicable villain!"

"You’ll die miserably!"

The other two cursed but their voices were noticeably weaker.

Clearly, they had been severely injured during the burly man’s ambush.

"Splash!"

Eventually, the underwater turbulence subsided as the sword Qi ceased.

Soon, the pool parted, revealing the burly leader’s head!

Perfect opportunity!

"Swish!"

Li Yunjing struck, holding the "Cold Star Sword" like a celestial being. As he launched himself to the pool’s center, his sword descended towards the leader’s head in a rainbow arc!

"Huh? It’s you, kid? Trying to ambush me?"

The burly man showed shock but immediately laughed, "I am Xian Yu Zhengshou, who has seen all kinds of storms, and you think you can ambush me?"

He hadn’t finished speaking when he raised his sword to block Li Yunjing’s "Cold Star Sword," clashing with a resounding "clang."

Li Yunjing’s hand went numb, and his "Cold Star Sword" got a nick!

The burly man’s sword was clearly a top-grade magical artifact, outranking Li Yunjing’s!

"Kill!"

The burly man leaped from the water, his sword spinning like a dragon, continuing to strike at Li Yunjing!

At the same time, his left hand now held a black shield.

In several exchanges, Li Yunjing’s attacks were all blocked by the shield, failing to harm him.

"Your name is Xian Yu Zhengshou? I admit you’re strong, but you can’t kill me. Why not share the treasure, and I’ll let you go?"

Li Yunjing maneuvered around him invisibly, saying, "Think, the ’Blackwing Centipede’ has scattered, my sectmates will come soon. Maybe they’re already searching this cave. If you don’t escape now, it’ll be too late!"

Hearing this, Xian Yu Zhengshou was furious – this Shenxiao Dao sect disciple was truly shameless!

"Is this what you so-called righteous sects do? If you can’t confront me head-on, then just go! If you force me to use my ultimate move, you’ll die without a complete corpse!"

Ultimate move?

If you had any ultimate move, I’d be dead already!

Li Yunjing scoffed, "How ignorant! Fine, I’ll fight with you for half an hour then! I don’t believe you have any ultimate techniques!"

Though saying this, he moved three yards away from Xian Yu Zhengshou!

"Shameless!"

Xian Yu Zhengshou fumed, but Li Yunjing’s speed with the "Gale Boots" was overwhelming, even he, a Qi Cultivation level nine, couldn’t match.

Whenever he temporarily cornered Li Yunjing, he couldn’t land a killing blow.

Li Yunjing would block and then continue harassing him, preventing his escape.

This situation made Xian Yu Zhengshou more anxious. Genuinely, as Li Yunjing had said, with so many Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples outside, any who burst in would make his situation dire.
