Chapter 14 Danger is coming.
Chapter 14
Ecstatic is not enough to describe the joy that was surging deep in the supervisor's heart at this moment.
When he was on the brink of life and death, at the mercy of others, that familiar voice sounded leisurely, like a spring breeze on his face, instantly awakening his long-dormant vitality.
In the past, he hated this voice, because whenever the owner of this voice came, he had to condescend and flatter cautiously. He did not like himself like this, and he also hated the owner of the voice who caused this situation.
This was the first time he heard this voice and felt saved.
The supervisor and several people following him moved quickly behind the newcomer like rolling waves.
The man looked no more than thirty years old, with a slightly haggard face, dull complexion, and pale lips, as if suffering from some kind of illness. Despite the scorching sun, he was wearing a heavy fox fur coat, which looked out of place.
Bu Xingjin didn't know the identity of the visitor, but he caught a glimpse of Zhao Siwen's nervous expression after seeing the visitor. It was obvious that he was no longer as calm as before.
The overseer was relieved but also confused. He couldn't understand how the cave owner could arrive at the scene so quickly, considering that after receiving the news that several people had escaped, he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and treated it as a trivial matter, dealing with it lightly on his own without sending anyone to notify the cave owner.
"Cave Master..."
At the moment when the supervisor was about to say something, his voice was ruthlessly interrupted.
"You useless piece of shit! You can't even take care of the people in the mine. If I hadn't come here on a whim to take a look, how would you have ended this time?"
The cave master waved his hand lightly and repelled the supervisor. The supervisor rolled on the ground in pain for several times, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that his injuries must be serious.
After dealing with his negligent subordinate, he watched the two men escape from the mine with a gloomy expression. He said slowly, "You are very lucky. You are the first miners to escape such a long distance."
"Be smart and go back on your own to save your life. Otherwise, if I take action myself, I don't know if I can leave you with a whole body."
His threats were spoken with such ease that it even felt as if he was speaking for their benefit.
"Go back? Are you kidding?"
Zhao Siwen's expression of disdain intensified the other party's fury. The cave master snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty."
He waved his hand casually. In his opinion, with his cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, killing two people who had just entered the Qi Condensation Stage was easier than crushing two ants.
"Run as far as possible, then find a secluded place to hide," Zhao Siwen whispered to Bu Xingjin, then rushed forward fearlessly. The cave master's cultivation was only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, just one small realm higher than his own, so this distance did not frighten him.
"Okay, who are you anyway? And why are you in the mines?"
The moment Zhao Siwen swung his hand, the cave master realized he was no ordinary casual cultivator, but rather a disciple of a major sect. His moves were concise and sharp, each one exuding a refined beauty, completely different from the chaotic performance of ordinary casual cultivators.
"Wait until you've beaten me."
The destructive power of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators in battle was far beyond the reach of those in the Qi Condensation stage. This disparity was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth, truly breathtaking.
If Qi Condensation cultivators were still considered mortals in combat, then battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators transcended the bounds of ordinary humanity. They could shatter a tree two arms wide with a single punch, leap over five meters in a single leap, and so swiftly that even shadows could be seen.
Bu Xingjin finally had an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Qi training period and the foundation building period.
He kept retreating, searching for a place to hide. Looking up, he saw that the supervisors were also fleeing in panic, trying to avoid being injured by the aftermath of the battle between the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The situation had become so intense that the battle between the Cave Master and Zhao Siwen had reached a stalemate. The Cave Master was filled with shock and astonishment; he had never expected to be defeated by an opponent who was only a small realm below him, and even to gradually lose the battle.
Bu Xingjin ran forward, not daring to look back. The supervisors were running in the opposite direction, not daring to cross into the area of the battle to catch him.
After running for a long time, Bu Xingjin kept hearing the sound of fighting behind him, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer.
While running, he took the time to look back and found that the two people were still not far behind him, as if they had been following him.
Bu Xingjin was a little overwhelmed. He really wanted to shout, "Can you please stop following him?"
He couldn't tell who was more outstanding between Zhao Siwen and the cave master, so he could only try his best to avoid becoming a stumbling block that distracted Zhao Siwen. What if Zhao Siwen was already struggling to hold on, and if he failed due to his negligence, what would he do?
He could only continue running forward in silence.
The cave master's face had turned gloomy, like raindrops about to fall. If this situation continued, he was doomed to fail. He couldn't imagine what serious consequences that would lead to. He absolutely could not let this situation happen.
After the cave master used all his strength to repel Zhao Siwen, he took out a blood-red pill from his arms and gently put it into his mouth.
A violent aura rampaged through the main body of the cave. He groaned, and his cultivation suddenly began to improve bit by bit.
Zhao Siwen stood not far away and watched cautiously.
"This is the Qianlong Pill given to me by the mine owner. I actually wasted it on you."
Feeling the changes in himself, the cave master's tone became arrogant again.
Zhao Siwen watched the cave master's cultivation level improve by one small realm to the late stage of foundation building, and then continued to improve until the foundation building was complete, and then began to strive for the golden elixir.
If he could really achieve the Golden Elixir, Zhao Siwen would not have to fight. The two realms are completely different. He never expected that the cave master actually had this kind of elixir that could temporarily stimulate potential.
Zhao Siwen prepared to escape.
After a few breaths, the cave master gushed out blood, his attempt to reach the Golden Core Realm ending in failure. Although the Hidden Dragon Pill could temporarily elevate one's cultivation to a higher realm after consumption, this presupposed that one possessed the corresponding potential.
The cave master did not have the potential to ascend to the Golden Core stage, so he failed.
"How is it possible..."
The cave master looked shocked, and his expression was even uglier than when he was about to lose to Zhao Siwen.
When the mine owner gave him the elixir, he clearly said that he had the potential to reach the Golden Elixir stage. How could he have failed?
"puff--"
The cave master vomited blood again, unable to accept that he could only reach the great success of foundation building in this life.
Zhao Siwen stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in astonishment. He had expected the enemy to unleash a devastating blow, so he braced himself for the attack, even prepared to retreat without a fight. However, to his surprise, the enemy, without warning, delivered two powerful punches.
The cave master suppressed the surging blood and raised his head, his gaze piercing Zhao Siwen like a knife. He gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his right hand, his face grim as he spoke, "Even though I haven't yet reached the Golden Core stage, I'm already at the Foundation Establishment stage, three realms higher than you. Killing you is as easy as taking candy from a sack."
After saying this, he immediately attacked Zhao Siwen, as if to vent his endless resentment for not being able to reach the Golden Core stage. It was a complete tactic of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of his own.
Zhao Siwen responded hastily and was a little struggling at first, but after a hundred moves he gained the upper hand.
"Bang--"
The two men exchanged punches and then retreated.
“Pah pah pah…”
At the moment when the two men stopped fighting, a sudden applause broke in.
The two of them instantly became tense and alert.
The cave master and Zhao Siwen both thought that the person coming was the other party's helper.
I only hear the voice but don't see the person.
Bu Xingjin stopped and looked around for the person who came.
A few breaths later, a figure descended from the sky and stood between the cave master and Zhao Siwen.
"Golden Core Stage!" The cave master and Zhao Siwen both cried out in surprise, and then turned to flee. However, the newcomer had already locked them firmly, preventing them from escaping.
Bu Xingjin was stunned the moment he saw who was coming.
He knows this person.
To be precise, he had seen this person.
"The fight between these two Foundation Establishment stage guys was actually quite exciting."
The middle-aged man in green robe commented in a soft and gentle tone. Just by listening to the voice, you would think that the owner of the voice quite appreciated them.
However, the two trapped people knew that what they were facing was not admiration, but a strong murderous intent permeating between them. The mysterious person clearly harbored hatred for them and wanted to kill them.
"But you know what? I've been feeling down lately. I'm trying to find something, but I've been searching for it for a long time and can't find it."
"I was just feeling upset when you interrupted me."
"Tell me, am I happy or unhappy?"
No one answered, and the cave master broke out in a cold sweat.
"I am from the Amaterasu sect. I am very sorry for disturbing your peace. I am willing to compensate you with spirit stones."
The cave master's voice trembled as he earnestly hoped that the senior in the Jindan stage in front of him would consider the reputation of the Amaterasu Sect and forgive his sins.
"Amaterasu? Let me think..."
The green-robed middle-aged man's expression instantly softened, and he even retracted the murderous intent he had originally locked onto the cave master. The cave master mistakenly thought his words had moved him, and just as he was about to speak, the green-robed middle-aged man lightly flicked him with his finger, and a light blade, almost invisible to the naked eye, instantly flew towards the cave master.
"for……"
The cave master didn't ask his questions until the head fell to the ground. He didn't understand why his life was suddenly taken away.
Only Bu Xingjin understands why?
This middle-aged man in green robe was the one who killed Lu Xunwen.
Lu Xunwen was the disciple of Fuhua Peak of Amaterasu Sect, and the one who gave him the earth spirit.
