Wu Er and Kun Wu exchanged glances, then nodded to each other before concealing their presence and making their way into the cave.

As soon as you enter the cave, you can feel a chill rushing towards you.

Wu Er felt that the collar was too loose, and a lot of cold air was getting in, making his skin feel tight and giving him a lot of goosebumps.

It's not late autumn now, nor is it winter. Even if the cave is damp and cold, it shouldn't be this cold.

Moreover, those who entered the cave were all cultivators, who are usually immune to heat and cold, yet they felt a chill in the air, which indicated that the coldness here was unusual.

The strange occurrences upon entering the cave suggest that there must be strange people inside!

Wu Er mobilized his spiritual power to protect his internal organs, which enabled him to resist the erosion of the cold air.

Kun Wu did the same, using his spiritual power to protect himself.

The two then ventured deeper inside.

The deeper they ventured into the cave, the dimmer the light became; after only a few steps, it was pitch black.

Fortunately, both of them knew some night vision magic, so they weren't too bothered by traveling in the dark.

Moreover, the cave was not only dark, but also getting colder and colder, and the place where the two were now was covered with a layer of frost.

It was pitch black, the surroundings were cold, and the ground was slippery.

This scene is truly distressing.

After walking for a while, we arrived at a bend in the road inside the cave.

At this bend, you can feel a cold wind blowing out.

The ground here isn't just covered with frost anymore; it's now covered with a thick layer of snow!

Seeing the bend in the road, Kunwu stopped and reached out to stop Wu Er beside him.

Wu Er also stopped listening and looked at Kun Wu to the side.

Kun Wu made a shushing gesture and then whispered, "Be careful, this person's cultivation has improved a lot since he stole my treasure. We need to be careful."

Seeing the thick snow on the ground, Wu Er nodded to Kun Wu.

Just by looking at the layer of snow on the ground, one can tell that this person's cultivation level is probably not simple; even the aura he exudes is so chilling.

Taking a breath, Wu Er became serious and transmitted his voice to Kun Wu: "Let's rush in together later and throw out the most powerful spells first."

Kunwu nodded; she thought so too.

Wu Er took out a sword from his storage bag, indicating that he was already prepared.

Against such a powerful enemy, you must unleash your ultimate skill upon first sight and cripple them instantly; never think about saving your skills.

Meanwhile, Kun Wu, who was watching from the side, also pulled out a sword.

This surprised Wu Er slightly. He didn't expect Kun Wu to be a sword cultivator as well. In his surprise, Wu Er's gaze also fell on Kun Wu's sword.

What kind of sword was it?

It was completely black, with a blade three feet long. Even in this cold and gloomy environment, one could feel the coldness of the sword.

This sword is colder than frost and snow!

Wu Er looked away from the sword, exchanged another glance with Kun Wu, then held up three fingers and whispered, "Three, two, one, go!"

In an instant, the two jumped into the bend.

At the corner, there was a rather large stone chamber, and in the middle of the chamber, a person was sitting.

Without even getting a clear look at the person's appearance, Wu Er and Kun Wu unleashed their sword energy and slashed at the person in the stone chamber.

"boom!!!"

The two sword energies struck the target, immediately causing a loud bang.

The snow on the ground was lifted high by the sword energy, and then fell in a flurry, as if a snowfall had occurred in this enclosed cave.

Wu Er and Kun Wu stood with their swords in hand, their grips tightening as they looked at the snowflakes that hadn't yet fallen.

Although both of them used great force in their sword strikes, they still felt that the power was not enough.

"Who dares disturb my cultivation!"

Then a roar came from within, a sound that was quite loud, with a powerful and earth-shaking aura.

The snowflakes that had just fallen started to drift away again, filling the cave with a misty haze.

The temperature inside the cave dropped considerably after that roar.

"Just by listening to these lines, you can tell he must be a villain."

Wu Er casually said this.

The snow had settled and the smoke had dissipated, revealing a person.

The man had long hair and wore a dark Taoist robe with a skull painted on it.

Putting aside his taste in the cultivation world, it would have been considered quite unconventional in Wu Er's previous life.

Kunwu recognized the man and immediately said, "It really is you! Give me back what you stole!"

"Here's your stuff back?" The man said with a sneer, "I've already used your pill. It was really good stuff, it greatly increased my cultivation! I suppose you needed that pill when you broke through, right? Too bad I ate this good stuff first!"

I have to say, that's really rude and makes you want to punch him.

Upon seeing this man, Wu Er asked, "Did you poison the water source in the city outside?!"

Upon hearing this, the man laughed three times and said, "Oh? Of course I did it!"

After listening, Wu Er thought to himself: He said it so easily. This person is obviously very arrogant.

Raising his sword, Wu Er asked again, "Who are you, and why did you poison me?"

The man patted the skull on his Taoist robe and said directly, "My name is Fang Jia. You should have heard of me, right? I'm a notorious evil cultivator in this area! As for why I used poison? Of course, it's to use the suffering of mortals to refine my cultivation!"

Fang Jia's words were still harsh, each one more offensive than the last.

Kun Wu frowned slightly and said, "You're quite an honest person; you really answer whatever you're asked."

"Of course." Fang Jia made a gesture across his neck. "After all, you're all going to die anyway, so of course I want you to die without any doubts!"
