On the other side, after Xia He left the secret room, he followed the instructions and walked through the intricate secret passages.
Tie Zhan was knocked unconscious by a rock thrown by him and temporarily lost his ability to move, but Liu Rushuang followed him quietly.
Liu Rushuang followed behind Xia He, staring at his back.
As a ghostwriter, she was very good at tracking, but she was also a little confused in this secret passage, and couldn't help wondering:
"Why is this guy so familiar with the terrain here? This secret passage is complicated, but he is as relaxed as returning home."
But the situation was urgent at the moment, and she had no time to think too much. She could only follow Xia He closely, fearing that she would get lost in this maze-like secret passage.
It’s just that the two of them are not familiar with each other, so she still keeps a certain distance.
"Why is this woman following me?"
"Forget it, just follow me."
Xia He didn't pay much attention to Liu Rushuang's following, he just looked back at her occasionally.
The two of them walked one after the other and finally arrived at the end of a secret passage.
However, the scene before him made Xia He stunned - a heavy stone door was closed, and the door was engraved with complex patterns.
"Has this mountain been hollowed out by the Ba Dao Sect?"
"If you don't mind, let me take a look."
"You can rest assured that if you save my life, I won't harm you."
Only then did Xia He make way.
Liu Rushuang came forward, observed carefully, frowned, and said in a low voice:
"There is a mechanism on this stone door. It would be difficult to open it without the key."
"Why is there a door here? Could it be that the leader of Ba Dao Sect is really hiding here?"
Xia He was a little surprised, "You know about mechanical engineering?"
"A little bit."
"How do I open this door?"
"Using brute force probably won't work."
Just as the two were secretly figuring out how to open the stone door, Liu Rushuang suddenly groaned, her body went limp, and she fell directly to the ground.
"Someone attacked me?"
Her face instantly turned red and her breathing became rapid, as if she was poisoned.
Xia He turned around suddenly and saw a black shadow rushing out from the shadow of the secret passage. There was a cold light flashing in his hand, and it turned out to be a few silver needles as thin as cow hair!
His pupils shrank and he reacted extremely quickly. He swung the long sword in his hand, and the blade flashed like lightning, directly cutting off the flying silver needle.
However, the masked killer did not stop. He approached like a ghost, and the short blade in his hand went straight for Xia He's throat.
"Why are they all so shady?"
Xia He couldn't help but curse out loud, and instantly fought with the killer. Amid the flashes of swords and sabers, the crisp sound of metal colliding echoed in the secret passage.
"This body movement...is it the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada again?"
From this perspective, the leader of the Ba Dao Sect was not wrongly accused. It turned out that he was in collusion with the Northern Barbarians!
The two fought for dozens of moves, and Xia He gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The killer's strength was actually at the Hua Jin realm, and both his power and speed were far superior to Xia He's.
Xia He was forced to retreat again and again, and his arm was cut with a bloody mark.
He thought to himself that this was not good. If he continued like this, he would probably be killed here.
At this moment, Liu Rushuang beside her suddenly let out a low moan, her face flushed, her breathing became rapid, and she even began to pull at her clothes unconsciously.
Her eyes were blurry, and it was obvious that she had been poisoned by the killer.
Seeing this, the killer sneered, with a hint of joking in his tone:
"My silver needles are coated with Heju Cartilage Powder. The more you circulate your blood and energy, the faster the poison will take effect. Neither of you can escape!"
Xia He felt nauseous when he heard this.
“How despicable!”
Immediately, he took a deep breath, slowly sheathed the long knife in his hand, then took off the spear on his back, pointed the spear tip directly at the killer, and said coldly:
"I'm not really good with a knife. My best skill is...shooting."
Before he finished speaking, Xia He's momentum suddenly changed, and his spear was like a dragon, piercing the killer's throat with a fierce gust of wind.
The killer obviously didn't expect Xia He to have this trick. He dodged in a hurry, but the tip of the gun cut his shoulder, and blood immediately stained his clothes red.
Xia He no longer gave him a chance to breathe, his spear danced like the wind, with heavy shadows of the spear.
Although the killer had the strength of Hua Jin, he was unable to withstand Xia He's gun skills.
In the secret passage, the shadows of guns and the lights of swords intertwined, and the battle became more and more intense.
"This kid is just practicing internal medicine, how can he be so domineering..."
"Are there so many geniuses in the Great Qin?"
Thinking of this, the killer's eyes became even colder.
On the other side, Liu Rushuang's condition was getting worse and worse.
Her consciousness gradually became blurred and her body twisted uncontrollably, as if she would lose her mind at any moment.
"Hold on!"
Xia He's gun skills became more and more fierce, wreaking havoc in the secret passage with a whistling sound.
Each of his shots contained a strange power. Although they seemed to be understated, they made the killer's palms numb and his arms tremble every time.
The killer's expression gradually became solemn, and he was secretly horrified in his heart: "This kid is obviously only at the Refining Organs Realm, why is his spearmanship so domineering? He even has a tendency to suppress me!"
The gap between transforming strength and refining internal organs should be as huge as a chasm.
A martial artist who has reached Hua Jin has strength born from his qi and blood, which allows him to unleash powerful force at a minimal cost.
Originally ten strands of Qi and blood were needed, but a martial artist at Hua Jin level only needs one strand to achieve it.
However, the power contained in Xia He's spear skills was strange and sharp, as if it could penetrate all defenses and hit the vital points.
Although the killer's level was higher than Xia He's, he felt restrained in front of Xia He's marksmanship.
He was secretly anxious in his heart: "We can't delay any longer, we must get rid of this Qin insect as soon as possible!"
