Upon seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men immediately understood Wang Fan's intention and shouted, "Don't let him get away! Stop him!"
But Wang Fan's speed at this moment exceeded their expectations, and he arrived in front of the stone wall in the blink of an eye.
He concentrated all his strength in one kick and slammed it hard against the cracked stone wall.
With a loud "boom," the stone wall shattered, revealing a deep cave entrance.
Without hesitation, Wang Fan leaped inside.
The men in black robes chased after them to the cave entrance, but hesitated.
One of the men in black robes frowned as he looked at the dark entrance and said, "I wonder what this kid is up to now. There might be a trap inside."
"We just let him get away like that?" a man in black robes asked unwillingly.
"Hmph, of course not." A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the leading man in black robes. "This brat knows the secret of divinity; he must not be allowed to live."
After saying that, he looked at the two men in black robes and said, "You two stay at the cave entrance and guard it. The rest of you come in with me and make sure you capture him!"
So, the two men in black robes stayed at the cave entrance, while the others carefully followed the leader into the cave.
Wang Fan ran quickly inside the cave and discovered that the passage was winding and filled with a peculiar mist.
He understood that he had only temporarily escaped the pursuit of the man in black robes, but the danger was not over.
He ran while keeping an eye on what was happening behind him.
At the same time, he was thinking about how to get rid of these troublesome guys completely and reunite safely with the women.
Wang Fan ran desperately through the passage filled with a strange mist.
Behind them came the sound of black-robed figures cautiously advancing, like a pack of wolves waiting for their chance.
The mist in this passage seemed to carry some strange power, not only affecting visibility but also dulling Wang Fan's senses.
Suddenly, a three-way intersection appeared ahead.
The three passages were faintly visible in the mist, each so silent it sent chills down one's spine.
Wang Fan paused briefly, his mind racing.
He knew that if he chose the wrong path, he might find himself in dire straits or run into the man in black robes.
There was no time to hesitate! Wang Fan gritted his teeth and chose the middle passage, hoping to shake off the tail behind him.
But they hadn't run far when they heard the leader of the black-robed men behind them shout, "That kid went towards the middle, chase after him!"
Wang Fan inwardly cursed, realizing that his opponent was no pushover and could deduce his whereabouts from the slightest clues.
As they ventured deeper into the passage, the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie.
Blurry light and shadow began to appear on the wall, like fragments of ancient memories, or like an eerie warning.
Wang Fan had no time to pay attention to any of that; he was focused on running.
But gradually, he found that his physical strength was being rapidly depleted.
That trace of divine power was not enough to support him in maintaining high-speed movement for an extended period of time.
The black-robed figure behind him was gradually closing the distance.
"Boy, you can't escape! Surrender obediently, and maybe we'll spare your corpse!" the leader of the black-robed men shouted arrogantly.
Wang Fan did not respond, but ran while plotting his counterattack.
Finally, he noticed that the stone walls on both sides of the passage ahead were gradually narrowing.
Some sharp stalactites hang from above, forming a natural narrow passage.
This could be an excellent spot to strike back!
Wang Fan quickly stopped and started setting things up using the surrounding environment.
He loosened some loose rocks and sharp stalactites, preparing to give the black-robed man who was catching up a "surprise".
After doing all this, he hid in the shadows on one side of the passage, gripping the Bloodthirsty Halberd tightly, quietly waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Before long, the figure of the black-robed man appeared and disappeared in the mist, with the leader of the black-robed men walking cautiously ahead.
His gaze swept across the surroundings like an eagle's, and the longsword in his hand, radiating an eerie light, was ready to strike at any moment.
"Be careful, that kid is definitely hiding nearby. Don't fall for his tricks," the leader of the black-robed men warned in a low voice.
As they entered the pass, Wang Fan seized the opportunity and suddenly exerted his strength.
They threw the loosened rocks and stalactites at the man in black robes.
In an instant, stones and stalactites rained down, catching the man in black off guard and throwing him into disarray.
"Ah!" A man in black robes was unable to dodge in time and was hit on the shoulder by a boulder, causing him to scream in pain.
The other men in black robes also brandished their weapons to fend off the falling stones.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Fan burst out of the shadows like a tiger descending a mountain.
The Bloodthirsty Halberd, carrying a fierce killing intent, pierced straight towards the black-robed leader.
The leader of the black-robed men reacted extremely quickly, dodging the fatal blow with a sidestep.
But his arm was still cut by the halberd tip, leaving a bloody mark.
"Kid, you've got some skills!" A hint of annoyance flashed in the eyes of the leading man in black robes.
He brandished his longsword and engaged Wang Fan in battle.
The two weapons clashed, sparks flying and light flickering in the mist.
After the other men in black robes regained their footing, they also surrounded Wang Fan, trapping him in the middle.
With his powerful physique after the breakthrough and a trace of divine power, Wang Fan engaged in a fierce battle with the man in black robes.
The Bloodthirsty Halberd was wielded with great force in his hands, each strike containing immense power, making the black-robed man dare not approach easily.
However, the black-robed men were numerous and coordinated well, gradually forming an encirclement around Wang Fan.
Wang Fan gradually sustained several wounds during the battle, his clothes stained with blood.
Seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men revealed a smug look on his face. He lowered his long sword slightly and sneered, "Boy, you have nowhere to run. You might as well surrender! If you are willing to tell me how you know the secret of the demigod, I might spare your life."
Wang Fan gripped the Bloodthirsty Halberd tightly, despite the sharp pain emanating from his wounds.
But his gaze remained unwavering, and he retorted without backing down, "You think you're worthy of knowing? If you have the guts, kill me!"
The man in black frowned, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Hmph, you think I wouldn't dare? Don't be so stubborn. If you don't speak up today, not only will you die, but none of those who are with you will live either!"
Wang Fan felt a chill run down his spine, and a wave of worry for the women instantly washed over him.
But he knew he must not show weakness in front of these men in black robes.
He endured the pain and shouted, "Trying to threaten me? You're dreaming!"
After saying that, Wang Fan channeled the last bit of divine power within his body, forcibly rousing himself.
His body trembled slightly, yet he exuded an aura of fearlessness in the face of death.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding men in black robes gripped their weapons tightly.
As soon as the leader of the black-robed men gave the order, they would swarm forward and kill Wang Fan completely.
However, the leader of the black-robed men was not in a hurry.
He was filled with curiosity about why Wang Fan knew the secret of the demigods.
There might be some secret hidden behind this.
He didn't want to let this opportunity to find out the truth slip by easily.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked.
Wang Fan suddenly felt a strange power coming from the bottom of the abyss.
This force seems to be slowly changing the surrounding environment.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, and the atmosphere in the passage became increasingly eerie.
