Chapter 98: Thrilling Passage! (Please recommend, please collect, please reward!)
Martial King Bei, Qin Feng, Marquis Tianjun, Tian Cheng King, Yin Po Bai, and the others grew more cautious when exploring the treasure vault of the Mysterious Heaven Sect. The Mysterious Heaven Sect had been the strongest sect within the Great Chu imperial dynasty a thousand years ago, and they had been overwhelmingly powerful at the time. Their treasure location was undoubtedly fraught with danger.
They could only forcibly open it.
Martial King Bei, Marquis Tianjun, Tian Cheng King, and Yin Po Bai studied the stone door for a long time without discovering a method to open it from the stone itself.
In the end, after consulting with Martial King Bei, Marquis Tianjun, Tian Cheng King, and Qin Feng, they decided to forcibly blast the stone door open.
“Let’s all strike together and shatter it!”
Martial King Bei roared, his muscles bulging like mountains, and he swung his Heavenly War Spear hard at the stone door.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Marquis Tianjun, Tian Cheng King, and Qin Feng immediately joined in, their weapons striking fiercely against the stone door.
“Rumbling rumbling!”
“Rumbling rumbling!”
…
A deafening boom echoed out, followed by the ground shaking violently as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. Even two surrounding mountain peaks tumbled down.
Qin Feng gazed at the stone door. He had no idea what material it was made of, yet it had withstood the bombardment from four Human King realm martial artists without more than a surface crack.
Although the stone door was shattered, the surrounding rock could not endure the violent force and collapsed one after another, exposing a gap.
“Continue!”
Martial King Bei took a deep breath, raised his Heavenly War Spear high, and struck the rocks around the crack with rapid movements.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Seeing Martial King Bei’s actions, Qin Feng, Tian Cheng King, and Marquis Tianjun quickly followed suit and attacked the surrounding mountain rocks.
The rocks around the stone door were ordinary stone, and facing the Human King level bombardment, they shattered and collapsed one after another.
Soon, under the relentless assault of the four—Martial King Bei, Tian Cheng King, Marquis Tianjun, and Qin Feng—a large hole was blasted open beside the stone door, wide enough for a single person to pass through and roughly ten meters long, connecting to the passage leading to the Mysterious Heaven Sect’s treasure vault.
“Go!”
Martial King Bei leaped, his body leaving afterimages as he rushed into the Mysterious Heaven Sect’s treasure location.
“Go!”
Tian Cheng King had already received word from Martial King Bei earlier. As soon as the entrance appeared, he immediately entered. Right behind Martial King Bei, he was the first to dash into the passage.
“Go!”
Marquis Tianjun and Qin Feng erupted with their limit speed, rushing into the passage at once and chasing after Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King.
“Quickly get inside!”
“Quickly!”
“Go!”
Yin Po Bai, Hou Bai Zhun, and the other ten late-stage martial cultivators only reacted after Martial King Bei, Tian Cheng King, Marquis Tianjun, and Qin Feng entered the passage. They quickly rushed into the passage.
“Swish!”
Qin Feng entered the passage and scanned the surroundings. Square stone blocks were neatly embedded everywhere, and many had fallen to the ground, obviously shattered by their earlier violent vibrations.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Qin Feng and Marquis Tianjun continued pushing forward when a violent rumbling suddenly erupted from deeper inside. The entire ground began to shake, as if the heavens and earth were crumbling.
“Lord Hou, we must go!”
Qin Feng’s expression changed. He saw Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King fleeing out with panicked faces.
Qin Feng made an instant decision, warned Marquis Tianjun, retreated violently, and rushed back toward the entrance.
“Go!”
“Quickly!”
Qin Feng rushed toward the entrance and just then spotted Yin Po Bai, Hou Bai Zhun, and the other ten late-stage martial cultivators charging inside.
Qin Feng reminded Yin Po Bai, Hou Bai Zhun, and the other ten commanders, then flashed past them and leaped toward the outside.
“Quickly go!”
As Marquis Tianjun ran over, he also warned Yin Po Bai, Hou Bai Zhun, and the other ten commanders to flee outside.
“What…?”
“What are we supposed to do?”
Yin Po Bai and Hou Bai Zhun did not understand why Qin Feng was fleeing. Their eyes filled with confusion and hesitation.
“Run! Retreat outside!”
In just a few seconds, Yin Po Bai made up his mind and led Hou Bai Zhun and the other commanders running outside.
Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King were fleeing desperately. About ten meters behind them, a massive boulder roughly two meters high was pushed horizontally toward them.
The front of the boulder was triangular in shape and pressed tightly against the top, with the underside capable of crushing and pulverizing anything in its path.
The boulder’s horizontal push was extremely fast, outpacing Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King by a wide margin.
Moreover, the immense momentum it generated caused Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King to feel a terrifying palpitation, carrying a fatal threat.
“Move!”
“Get out of my way!”
Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King were fleeing for their lives. Seeing Yin Po Bai and Hou Bai Zhun blocking the path ahead, they roared in fury. Their bodies collided with the two commanders in a muffled thud.
Carrying the overwhelming force as they fled desperately, they directly slammed into the two commanders.
“Boom!”
Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King instantly smashed the two commanders into blood mist.
“Quickly step aside!”
Yin Po Bai noticed the scene behind and was seething with rage. He roared and pounced toward the side.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The other commanders reacted and dodged to the sides.
However, two of the commanders were still struck by Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King. The barbarous force pounded into their bodies and obliterated them into blood mist.
“Quickly go!”
When Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King passed by, Yin Po Bai and the other six late-stage martial cultivators saw the boulder hurtling toward them. Their pupils shrank sharply and they fled desperately.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Yet the speed of Yin Po Bai, Hou Bai Zhun, and the other six late-stage martial cultivators was far slower than that of the Human King realm martial cultivators.
“Ah!”
“No!”
“Help me!”
The three lagging commanders were crushed under the boulder.
“Run!”
“Quickly!”
The remaining three commanders commanded by Yin Po Bai and Hou Bai Zhun reached the passage that had been blasted open. They leaped and pounced into the tunnel.
“Ah!”
Yin Po Bai and Hou Bai Zhun rushed out, but one martial cultivator lagged behind and let out a miserable wail, being directly crushed beneath the boulder.
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
Yin Po Bai and Hou Bai Zhun looked back at the twenty-plus-meter-long boulder. Their faces were deathly pale as they panted heavily.
“Boom!”
The boulder slammed into the stone door, blasted it violently open, and sent it flying more than thirty or forty meters before it finally fell to the ground.
“Damn it!”
“Martial King Bei, Tian Cheng King—what exactly did you do? You nearly killed us?”
Marquis Tianjun’s heart burned with fury and killing intent. He charged to the front of Martial King Bei and Tian Cheng King and roared.
“Hmph!”
“Go!”
Martial King Bei shot Marquis Tianjun a cold glance, snorted, called out to Tian Cheng King, and walked back into the passage once more.
“Lord Hou, this is not the time to argue.”
Qin Feng approached Marquis Tianjun, stopped before him, and said in a deep voice. Then he turned and walked back into the passage.
