When the two voices reached Xue Kong's ears, he didn't even look back. He dived into the passage in front of him without hesitation and walked quickly towards the other end of the passage.
"Hey, what a quick reaction." Not far from the passage, three figures were standing there.
They were the monks who had previously chased Xue Kong and his group.
At that time, they had just walked out of the passage, and were encountered by the raging flames raised by the red-bearded dragon. They were forced to go back into the passage and were even burned by the red-bearded dragon's flames.
When they came out, there was no trace of Xue Kong and his companions.
There was no foundation-building cultivator among them, so naturally they could not kill the red-bearded dragon.
While waiting for the arrival of other cultivators, these three separated from the other four. They originally planned to look for Xue Kong and others separately, but they never expected to meet Xue Kong who had returned to his original place.
Among these three people, two are at the tenth level of Qi Condensation, and one is at the great perfection of Qi Condensation.
Seeing Xue Kong's decisiveness, one of the young men at the tenth level of Qi Condensation smiled and said, "No wonder this person dared to come back. I didn't expect him to be so clever."
"Let's go, capture him and force him to tell us the whereabouts of the other men. We were burned by the Red-bearded Flood Dragon because of them. I can't let this out, I'm going to be upset."
"What do you think? Is there something fishy going on here?" The man who spoke last was at the tenth level of Qi Condensation, with shifty eyes and a vigilant face.
The other two did not refute.
No matter what, it is indeed unreasonable to let a Qi Condensation Level 10 person run around.
"Perhaps he got separated from his companions."
"No matter what, now that we've found the trail, there's no reason not to chase it and take a look."
"I'll use the sound transmission jade slip to notify the others and ask them to come for support."
The three of them acted very cautiously. Even though they were facing only a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Condensation, they still sent out a jade slip to inform the other cultivators.
Then, he entered the passage and chased after Xue Kong.
This passage is the same as the one that Zhang Xiang took Xue Kong and the others through. There is only one way.
Xue Kong took a step ahead, widening the distance between him and the three men. He moved at a rapid pace, his eyes reflecting thoughtfully, "There are only three of us chasing us. If I can reach the end and meet up with Hao Miaojun and the others, there's nothing to worry about."
"We can leave after that, and don't worry about whether they live or die." Xue Kong made up his mind.
But when he reached the end of the passage, his face turned gloomy. There was no one here, and none of Hao Miaojun and the others were there.
Xue Kong didn't know whether they ran away because they were also being hunted, or whether they simply didn't abide by the agreement, but he couldn't think so much at the moment. The people behind him were closing in on him, so he had to leave immediately.
He had just taken a step when he suddenly froze in place.
In the sight, the entrance of the extinct volcano was originally empty. At this moment, two figures suddenly fell from the sky. They did not jump down, but... flew down.
The face of one of them caught Xue Kong's eyes, and he couldn't keep calm.
"Wang Erlang!" The two figures that now appeared at the entrance of the extinct volcano were none other than Wang Erlang in the early stage of foundation building and Yin Shi in the middle stage of foundation building.
Before Xue Kong could decide whether to go forward and take a gamble or leave.
Soon, the sound of messy footsteps was heard in the rear passage.
Xue Kong's eyes immediately regained their calmness. At this critical moment of life and death, it was a moment to test his experience. Without hesitation, he turned around and dived into another unknown passage, running wildly.
Not far away, Wang Erlang naturally saw Xue Kong and the struggle and hesitation on his face.
Wang Erlang's calm and deep eyes glanced at the direction where Xue Kong left, and then he walked forward with the Yin corpse. At this moment, the three people who came to chase Xue Kong just walked out of the passage.
"Hey, there's someone coming in from outside?" One of them exclaimed and looked at Wang Erlang.
Realizing that he couldn't see through this person's cultivation level, he immediately became cautious.
Looking at the other person, he was wearing a black mask that covered his entire face. His cultivation level could not be seen either. He only knew that he was a woman.
The shifty monk's eyelids twitched.
The cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi Condensation was wearing a red robe, which seemed to make his face look red as well. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward and kicked his two companions on the buttocks.
Then he clasped his fists and bowed to Wang Erlang: "My name is Cheng Chuanxing, and I am honored to meet you two seniors."
When the other two saw Cheng Chuanxing like this, they immediately reacted, their faces changed, and they also clasped their fists to show their respect.
Wang Erlang raised his head, glanced at the numerous passages, and asked, "Where is the Red-bearded Dragon?"
Cheng Chuanxing pointed to the passage behind him and immediately replied, "Go straight from here to the end. There is a lava pool there. The Red-bearded Dragon is in that lava pool."
"Thank you." Wang Erlang nodded to Cheng Chuanxing, and then entered the passage with the Yin corpse.
After Wang Erlang left, the three of them slowly stood up, but their foreheads were already sweating and their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
"He, the two of them are... foundation-building cultivators?" asked the shifty-eyed cultivator in disbelief.
Encountering two Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time, not to mention that there were only three of them, even if all seven of them were there, they would definitely not be their match.
Cheng Chuanxing nodded. "These two are both at the Foundation Establishment stage, and they're not ordinary Foundation Establishments. Especially the masked woman. When I saw her, my whole body resisted, and I even felt like my flesh and blood were shaking uncontrollably."
“It’s really horrible.”
"Why don't I feel this way?"
"Your cultivation is not strong enough, and your spiritual sense is not sharp enough, so naturally you cannot detect it. This just shows how powerful that woman's cultivation is and how terrifying she is." Cheng Chuanxing was very scared.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and all felt fortunate to have walked through the gates of hell.
Fortunately, the two foundation-building monks had no intention of killing, otherwise, they would have died today.
After a moment, the shifty monk's face lit up with anger. "Damn it! Twice in a row, we've suffered at the hands of that brat. If he doesn't kill me, even if you give me the dragon marrow for free, I won't be able to vent my anger!"
"Go!" All three of them had murderous looks on their faces.
Being burned by the red-bearded dragon's flames was painful enough, and now they were almost dying. The fear and oppression of the coming death deeply stirred their emotions.
All the emotions eventually turned into anger and murderous intent.
The three of them had been using their spiritual sense to lock onto Xue Kong, and knew which passage he had entered, so they immediately chased after him.
However, just as they entered the passage, a sound of breaking air suddenly appeared.
A cold light flashed in the passage.
"Be careful! There's an ambush!" Cheng Chuanxing shouted. He was walking at the end, but he felt the fastest. However, he suddenly discovered that the cold light was coming very fast, and he had no time to help the other two block it.
After all, those two were not ordinary monks.
The moment Cheng Chuanxing gave the reminder, one of them slapped his storage bag, summoned an iron shield, and held it in front of him.
At this time, the cold light revealed its true appearance, and inside was a palm-sized knife.
The knife was as powerful as a rainbow and its edge was clearly visible.
He slashed head-on at one of the Qi Condensation Level 10 cultivators, delivering a sharp slash from top to bottom.
Click.
There was a shattering sound from the armored shield.
