Chapter 375 Retreat from the Underground Cave
After Zhang Weiyu took over, Wu Kuishan and the other two withdrew. Their mission was over. They had successfully had Zhang Zhenshou kill a ninth-rank official. As for their injuries, they were no problem at all. If some injuries could be exchanged for a ninth-rank official in the underground world, then there probably wouldn't be enough ninth-rank officials in the underground world to exchange for them.
Back in the ruins of Tiannan City, the three were immediately greeted with the highest honors. After all, they had just faced a ninth-rank official, a danger that defied simple description. "Old Wu, your condition is a bit serious!" Huang Jing, who was recovering from his injuries, quickly came up to support Wu Kuishan and said.
Now, there is no flesh and blood in front of Wu Kuishan's body; his golden bones and crystal internal organs are clearly visible. The indestructible matter has been completely obliterated.
"As long as he doesn't die, that's fine. After all, the opponent is a ninth-rank, and even though he has a ninth-rank divine weapon, there's still a considerable gap between them."
Wu Kuishan cursed.
"You really showed off this time, first killing two eighth-rank officials, and then holding off a ninth-rank official, allowing Garrison Commander Zhang to kill the ninth-rank official—"
"Hmph, if those people from Zhenxing City hadn't left, we wouldn't be in this situation. We were clearly in the lead, and then they just left. What a bastard!"
Wu Kuishan cursed, saying that the people of Zhenxing City were really dishonest. At first, they fought alongside them, but after the people of Zhenxing City gained the upper hand, they ran away. They ran along the Forbidden Sea and took away two eighth-rank and five seventh-rank people. Such a powerful fighting force almost caused the high-rank side to collapse. It was only thanks to killing some of them that the situation was stabilized.
Minister Wang, standing nearby, said weakly, "We can't blame them. They have their own things to do, and Grandmaster Yang is leading the charge ahead."
"Even if there's something to do, we should wait until we've driven back the dungeons before going. I'm not against them, but the battle isn't over yet. What if we lose and the dungeons destroy the passage if they leave like this? Even if they get the corpse of the Supreme Being, they won't be able to get out—"
"Old Wu, there are some things you don't know. Did you discover that people from the forbidden zone have come this time? No, right? So leaving Zhenxing City was necessary because the forbidden zone is also searching for the corpses of the Supreme Beings. If they get ahead of us, there will be big trouble."
Minister Wang explained.
"Then let's just send one of the ninth-rank officials from the Southern Minister's group. I refuse to believe we won't find the corpse of a peerless expert."
"No, this matter must be handled by Zhenxing City."
"What exactly is this 'Peak' thing?" Wu Kuishan asked, frowning.
"You're almost at the ninth rank now, and you can learn this information too. To put it bluntly, the absolute peak is still at the ninth rank. The absolute peak experts themselves can feel that they are still in the ninth rank realm and have not been able to completely complete that small step of sublimation."
They haven't experienced the true transformation of reaching a higher realm. As for whether there's a path to higher realms, it's estimated that there is, since ancient books record it, but studying it is too difficult. The Yang family patriarch is the first peak-level expert to die in recent years. After a peak-level expert dies, their martial arts path will evolve, so we must not let the underground cave obtain the corpse of a peak-level expert."
"So you mean that if there are corpses of top-tier experts, these top-tier experts can advance further? That's impossible. If that were the case, I don't believe that Minister Zhang and the others, working together, couldn't kill a top-tier expert."
Huang Jing remained silent.
"Not necessarily. More likely, by comprehending these things and continuing Senior Yang's path, we might also be able to reach the pinnacle realm. If we have another pinnacle, the impact will be far-reaching. And if there are more caves, we will be in danger," Minister Wang said. Upon hearing this, the others stopped talking. After all, when it comes to the pinnacle, the pinnacle is the most important. The entire Tiannan Cave is not as important as the pinnacle.
Just then, as the ninth-rank humans launched a fierce attack, boom boom boom!
A tremendous explosion resounded through the sky, and at the same time, a powerful energy illuminated the entire underground cavern, causing the ninth-rank experts who were engaged in battle to stop their actions.
The next moment, a towering giant flower plant let out a mournful cry and turned to leave!
Meanwhile, a ninth-rank underground city lord who was still fighting disregarded his injuries, roared angrily, and turned to leave!
Several eighth and seventh-rank martial artists also ran to the back; something terrible had happened!
Hundreds of miles away, they could feel the incredibly intense energy surge. What was that light that illuminated the entire cavern? What could emit such a dazzling light? At this moment, some people already had a bad feeling.
Could the mine have been bombed? But there are also high-level martial artists left behind, and the only high-level martial artist the humans let escape went to the Boundary Land. We don't know what happened behind them!
The Rose Guardian just screamed in agony, and the City Lord of Rose City also left. Does Rose City still exist?
If Rose City were truly destroyed, who would care about fighting the resurrected warriors? After all, their ninth-grade path is the path of all people, and towns are very important if they want to reach the pinnacle. Now, their path is in trouble.
Meanwhile, Lu Hao seized the opportunity, unleashing a burst of energy that slashed directly at the Tea King opposite him. "No!"
The fierce roar faded instantly. Before the Tea King on the other side could react, he was cut in half. His spiritual energy still wanted to linger, but how could Lu Hao let him go? A single spiritual attack completely ended the matter.
One person fell instantly, and two escaped. Now, only seven Rank 9 experts remain on the underground side. Although all the humans are injured, each of them is also injured. With 10 against 7, they have the advantage of numbers and are bound to win!
The remaining ninth-rank warriors in the underground cave were also drawn back by Lu Hao's commotion. A moment later, one of the ninth-rank cave warriors roared, "Retreat!"
"Walk!"
"Damn it! Rose! Damn it! Get out of here!"
The remaining ninth-rank underground warriors also responded one after another. The high-ranking warriors were also retreating rapidly, as were the lower-ranking and middle-ranking warriors.
The humans didn't continue the pursuit either. After all, there were still ninth-rank beings in the underground cave, and not only those they had sent out, but everyone's condition wasn't very good. If they rashly pursued them, they might fall into the other side's trap.
"All, kill low-to-medium quality enemies, clean up the battlefield, and rest and regroup."
Nan Yunyue shouted excitedly. She had prepared for the worst this time and was ready to break through to the peak at any time to strike the opponent. Unexpectedly, due to one unexpected event after another, they won a great victory this time. Of the 16 ninth-rank opponents, 5 were killed, while they only had 10 ninth-rank opponents. Although they were all injured, they were not seriously injured.
No one would believe such a record if it were told.
Nan Yunyue looked at the young man in the center. Who would have thought that this young man alone killed four ninth-rank cultivators without suffering any injuries? This was simply outrageous. Even she, who was about to advance to the peak, had only killed one ninth-rank cultivator.
