At this moment, Komatsu Keisaburo, ranked fifth in the Yin-Yang Academy, walked towards the canyon entrance. Before descending the stone steps, he glanced at Wang Hao, his lips curling into a cruel smile.
Following closely behind, the fifth-ranked students from Angel Academy and the fifth-ranked students from Samsung Academy also entered the canyon. Finally, it was Wang Hao's turn, but as soon as he reached the edge of the canyon, he felt dizzy, a sign of poisoning.
The miasma in the canyon was extremely potent. Fortunately, Wang Hao wore the Poison-Avoiding Bead, which blocked most of the miasma. Otherwise, even just inhaling a single breath of miasma would have caused him to faint from poisoning.
Wang Hao quickly mobilized the spiritual energy within his body, circulating it through his meridians for one cycle, immediately purifying the poisonous gas within him and restoring his health.
He then unleashed the Wind-Riding Flying Dragon Shadow footwork, reaching his maximum speed, like a nimble ape leaping across a precipitous cliff, rushing towards the underground.
There are only three minutes left. After three minutes, Lang Xin, the fourth expert of Yin Yang Academy, will enter the underground.
If Komatsu Keisaburo, the fifth-ranked expert of the Yin-Yang Academy, is indeed waiting for him underground, then he must eliminate Komatsu Keisaburo within three minutes.
Otherwise, if Wang Hao were to be attacked from both sides by two Xuan Ranking warriors, it would be quite troublesome for him, because the battle would waste too much of his time searching for treasures.
Although Wang Hao's martial arts cultivation has reached the Earth Realm, he is generally unwilling to reveal it, as his half-step Foundation Establishment cultivation is sufficient to deal with the current situation.
Because Wang Hao's current maximum speed has reached 98 meters per second, he needs a suitable opportunity to break through the physical foundation building stage, and at the same time, he also needs to break through the speed limit and advance to the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
The canyon was extremely deep. Wang Hao ran down the stone steps for more than a thousand meters, but he still hadn't reached the deepest part, and it was pitch black all around.
Wang Hao looked up and saw that the canyon mouth, which was originally thousands of meters long, had become only the size of a pinhole, emitting a faint white light, giving the impression that it was like a tiny white crack in the dark night sky.
People with poor mental fortitude will feel immense fear at this time, and may even break down.
Wang Hao looked down and saw a dark red glow appear deep underground, accompanied by a surge of heat.
"If there are really many evil people and demons imprisoned underground, it must be a very torturous thing for them."
Wang Hao muttered to himself, channeling his true energy to his eyes to maintain a constant supply of spiritual energy, and then continued to rush into the ground. The temperature in the air was getting higher and higher, and the rocks were extremely hot.
Fortunately, Wang Hao had purchased a Cold Essence Ice Soul in advance. Hanging the Cold Essence Ice Soul around his neck, he not only didn't feel the heat, but also felt very cool.
I don't know how deep we got, but we finally reached the bottom and a huge stone door appeared before us.
The stone gate is 130 meters high and 27 meters thick, with black iron inlaid on the surface of the stone layers, forming the shape of an iron dragon.
The two enormous stone doors, weighing an unknown amount of thousands of kilograms, have now been opened with a two-meter-wide gap.
Wang Hao placed his palm on the stone door, circulated his spiritual energy, and pushed hard, but the stone door did not budge.
"The stone door is so heavy. I estimate that only a Heaven Realm or Golden Core Realm expert could push it open."
Wang Hao stared at the narrow two-meter-wide gap in the gate, his eyes narrowing slightly as he became cautious. He then unleashed his immense spiritual power, detecting the aura of Komatsu Keisaburo behind the stone gate.
"Hmph, all the islanders must die."
Wang Hao dragged the Purple Cloud Sword through the stone gate. Just as he entered, a crimson spear, accompanied by a wave of scorching fire, pierced his back.
"boom!"
The spear brought with it a wave of scorching heat, rushing straight over.
Wang Hao smiled coldly, his body springing up, easily dodging the spear attack, leaping five meters high, and thrusting his sword towards Komatsu Keizaburo's neck.
Komatsu Keisaburo felt a chill on his neck, his expression changed, and he immediately withdrew his spear, retreating rapidly to narrowly dodge Wang Hao's thrusting sword.
At the same time, he was filled with doubt and surprise, wondering how Wang Hao knew where he was hiding, because he was wearing a treasure that shielded his spiritual senses, but he didn't expect to be discovered.
Wang Hao stood holding his sword, somewhat surprised, not expecting his opponent to dodge his sword strike.
When Komatsu Keisaburo saw Wang Hao's expression, his face darkened, and he said, "You really don't take me seriously at all. I am a strong person on the Xuan Ranking, while you are nothing."
Wang Hao knew he was stalling for time, so he took three steps forward, each step covering seven zhang (approximately 33 meters), and the three steps together covered twenty-one zhang (approximately 33 meters).
With a loud thud, when Wang Hao landed his third step, he had already rushed in front of Komatsu Keisaburo, leaving a shallow footprint in the ground.
With a flash of sword light, seven sword energies appeared before Komatsu Keisaburo's eyes, and seven sword cries rang in his ears.
Komatsu Keisaburo's expression changed again. He gripped the crimson spear with both hands and spun around rapidly to block the incoming sword light.
"Bang! Bang!"
With seven consecutive impacts, seven sparks flew as Wang Hao knocked the crimson spear in Komatsu Keisaburo's hand off course, causing it to tremble violently.
A powerful force emanated from the spear, causing Komatsu Keisaburo's arms to go numb.
After seven impacts, the web between Komatsu Keisaburo's thumb and forefinger split open, revealing a bloody crack, and he almost dropped the crimson spear.
Komatsu Keisaburo retreated in a very disheveled state, realizing for the first time how terrifying Wang Hao was; not only was he fast, but his strength was also astonishing.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Wang Hao slashed Komatsu Keizaburo's arm with his sword. A flash of blood and a severed hand flew off.
"Sizzle!"
The chilling aura emanating from the Purple Cloud Sword froze into a layer of white ice crystals on Komatsu Keisaburo's severed right arm, making the blood appear as clear and translucent as red crystal agate.
Komatsu Keisaburo screamed, clutching the crimson spear in his left hand, staggering backward, his whole body covered in cold sweat from the pain, his facial muscles contorting in agony.
"Wang Hao, you cut off my arm today. In the future, I will definitely cut off your hands and feet to avenge you."
Komatsu Keisaburo glared at Wang Hao, his eyes filled with resentment.
He turned and fled, rushing towards the depths of the Crimson Flame Secret Realm at a speed of 93 meters per second.
However, Wang Hao was faster than him. He only took nine steps to cover a distance of one mile, flying over Komatsu Keizaburo's head and overtaking him.
"Go to hell!"
Komatsu Keisaburo took out a diagram of an array inscribed on spirit paper from his pocket, opened the diagram, infused it with true energy, and launched it towards Wang Hao.
"Boom!"
On the surface of the array diagram, lightning runes appeared, emitting dazzling light, forming a circular attack array with a diameter of eight meters, enveloping Wang Hao within the array.
"Haha! Wang Hao, this is the array diagram of the second-grade attack array 'Lightning Cloud Array'. Even a martial artist in the early stage of Earth Realm will be suppressed and killed if trapped inside the array." Komatsu Keisaburo stood outside the battle array, laughing wildly.
"A mere second-grade attack formation, how could it possibly trap me?"
Wang Hao gripped the sword hilt with both hands, his robes billowing, his long hair flying, and his body radiating a dazzling white light.
