The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 439: Mistakenly Entered the Underground Palace_1

The scene at the Qi Family Villa at that time, Li Qing felt, was already terrifying.

But compared to this place, that was just child’s play.

The scene before him was simply a true "Sky Thunder Striking."

"Array!"

Fighting back the fear in his heart, he softly uttered another word.

Boom!

A muffled thunder, a more formidable white lightning struck the ground.

Damn!

Li Qing was so scared that he fell on his butt.

The "Heavenly Thunder" summoned by these two words turned out to be different.

The "Heavenly Thunder" brought forth by "Array" was clearly much stronger.

The moment it struck, all the hairs on Li Qing’s body stood on end instantly.

If he had been struck by that thing, he probably would have turned to smoke on the spot.

When the "Heavenly Thunder" dissipated, a deep pit as thick as a large iron pot appeared on the ground.

Did it actually crack open the Underground Palace?

Li Qing was about to go examine it, heart pounding with fear when suddenly the ground beneath him gave way.

He didn’t know how many meters he fell, but during the descent, Li Qing truly felt like he was about to die.

In just the blink of an eye, he had fallen roughly ten or so meters.

And he still hadn’t hit the ground.

From such a height, if not dead, then crippled for sure.

Thud!

Li Qing landed on a soft, cushiony object.

He opened his tightly shut eyes somewhat bewilderedly, "I’m not dead?"

By the faint light from above, he could barely make out that he was lying on top of an inflatable cushion.

"How... How can there be an inflatable cushion so deep down here?"

Li Qing’s mind was burning; he really couldn’t figure it out.

Not until he looked up and saw a soft ladder extending down from above did he understand.

The Qi Family had evidently already dug through to the Underground Palace.

The place Li Qing was in now must be the first floor of the Han King’s Underground Palace.

At the original entrance, the Qi Family must have implemented some concealment measures.

But under the recent "Sky Thunder Striking," the protection over the entrance had been blasted away.

"I’ve actually fallen victim to my own methods," Li Qing said with a wry smile, reaching out to grab the soft ladder beside him.

This place, sinister and eerie, he really didn’t want to stay any longer, better to get out as soon as possible.

Li Qing clumsily, with great difficulty, grabbed hold of the soft ladder and slowly ascended.

Just as he was halfway up, already able to see the domed ceiling of the cavern, he suddenly heard a roar from below.

"Brat, come, fight another three hundred rounds with this old man!"

Li Qing furrowed his brows; there were still people below?

And that voice... It sounded somewhat familiar.

But Li Qing didn’t have time to think further; suddenly, a buzzing sound filled the pitch-black Underground Palace, and a chill, deadly aura instantly made his heart palpitate, causing all the hairs on his body to stand up again.

"Nine, nine, nine..."

Without hesitation, he shouted out a string of nines until he felt dizzy, short of breath, and finally stopped.

In an instant, dense purple lightning poured down from the entrance like an inverted galaxy.

The soft ladder broke under the stress, and Li Qing fell back onto the inflatable cushion once more.

"Damn, I actually cut off my own way out again."

Li Qing stared blankly at the purple brilliance above, somewhat dumbfounded.

He really hadn’t expected the purple lightning to fall from the entrance.

That thing should be appearing out of thin air, right?

Shit, another blunder.

The dense purple lightning roamed inside the Underground Palace, illuminating the entire palace as if it were daylight.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Qing also got a clear view of the full expanse of the Underground Palace.

Exactly like in Li Yuanxian’s memory, the first level of the Underground Palace was an incredibly vast complex of palaces.

The central axis was distinct, with palaces scattered in an orderly fashion, grand and imposing.

Let alone the treasures here, just the tiles on these palaces could probably make someone a millionaire if taken out and sold.

Just as Li Qing’s eyes were darting around, he suddenly noticed the familiar figure in the square.

"Old Taoist?!"

Li Qing rubbed his eyes hard.

He had not seen wrong.

That was the old Daoist priest he had specially gone to Jiuling Mountain to find but hadn’t.

How could this old fellow be here?

No wonder the shout he had heard before sounded familiar—it had been this old fellow.

"Old Taoist!"

Li Qing shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Old Taoist!"

In the square marked with the Bagua, the old Daoist finally turned his head.

But it wasn’t the face Li Qing was familiar with; instead, it was a crimson skull, grisly and terrifying.

Shit!

Li Qing was startled.

"Run..."

The voice of the old Daoist, weak and feeble as if he was at his last breath, came from the mouth of the blood skull.

Just then, the purifying lightning that was inch by inch cleansing the Underground Palace finally spread over.

It seemed sentient, converging from all directions, surrounding the old Daoist.

Li Qing looked up at the hole that was definitely close to a hundred meters above the Underground Palace and clenched his fists tightly.

Damn it, time to take a risk!

He had no way out at the moment anyway; if he could save the old Daoist, perhaps there would be a chance to escape.

"Array, array, array..."

Li Qing held his breath and recited more than a dozen array incantations in one go as if chanting a spell.

With the joint enhancement of the purple and white thunders, Li Qing didn’t believe that ghostly thing could still occupy the old Daoist’s body.

He didn’t understand the specifics, just slashing wildly.

Long Eyebrow had said that purple thunder specifically vanquished all things of Yin; it shouldn’t hurt the old Daoist.

Crack, crack, crack!

Dense lightning intertwined with a sizzling sound, illuminating the entire Underground Palace.

As the purple thunder enveloped the old Daoist, columns of white lightning also fell from above.

Almost immediately, a blood-red figure let out a horrendous scream that made one wish to tear it into pieces, drifting out from the old Daoist’s body.

But something bizarre happened.

As the blood-red figure left the old Daoist’s body, the white lightning also split into two.

One targeted the blood-red figure, and the other continued to wrap around the old Daoist.

Li Qing was stunned.

Could it be that white lightning and purple lightning were different, and white lightning could strike people too?

Just then, Li Qing saw the old Daoist, who was struck by white lightning and looking ferocious, seemed to be yelling something.

But the surrounding thunder was so intense that Li Qing couldn’t hear a thing.

"Taoist, speak up, I can’t hear you!"

Li Qing cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled.

Under the flashes of white lightning, the old Daoist’s expression grew even more ferocious.

But whatever he was yelling, Li Qing still couldn’t hear it.

"Nine!"

"Nine nine nine!"

Li Qing saw the surrounding purple lightning dim a bit and hurriedly added a few more "nine."

Although it was just speaking, those two words were exhausting; it made Li Qing dizzy and short of breath.

"Taoist, what are you saying? Louder!"

Seeing the lightning wrapping tightly around the blood figure again, Li Qing finally felt relieved and called out once more.

"You idiot!!"

Li Qing: ...
