We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

The collapsed boulder appeared before Su Chen and Duan Tiandao, startling them both.

“Su Chen, this doesn’t seem like something a demon would do.”

The lingering aura around the secret passage had not dissipated, and Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao could easily sense it with their current primordial spirits.

"It's He Qiu!"

Su Chen immediately recognized that this was the aura of He Qiu from the Holy Origin Sect.

"Was it intentional or accidental?" Upon hearing this name, Duan Tiandao fell into deep thought.

Su Chen did not answer, his expression was somewhat solemn. After observing for a while, he saw the handwriting left by Yun Xi.

Duan Tiandao also saw it and nodded seriously, saying, "It seems it was an accident on purpose!"

He paused, then said angrily, "These guys are truly ungrateful! You told them the location of the secret passage and specifically let them go first, but after they left, they actually destroyed the passage. They clearly wanted to trap you here. If I have the chance, I suggest killing all of these guys from the Holy Origin Sect!"

Having killed so many demons and celestial demons, Duan Tian Dao was filled with resentment. He constantly shouted for battle, after all, he had followed Su Chen for so long and had killed people before. It was good that he killed them, as he could refine them and use them to support the two of them.

Su Chen arrived at the secret passage, his surging primordial energy leaping in his hands, gradually condensing into a cold light. With a tremor in his arm, it suddenly shot out, the cold light as swift as an arrow and as fast as lightning. The moment it shot out, it pierced through the rock like a laser, opening up a passage half a zhang high. However, the secret passage was severely collapsed, and even the cold light did not go all the way to the end. Instead, it dissipated halfway, showing that He Qiu had buried it deep and completely cut off the way out.

After exploring with his primordial spirit, Su Chen made another move, this time directly piercing through the secret passage and opening up a path that was barely passable.

Immediately, Su Chen erased all traces left by him and Yun Xi, and said to the Broken Sky Blade, "Let's go, let's kill some more Heavenly Demons, and then leave."

"it is good!"

One man and one sword went straight to the sealed place.

The seal has now been completely broken. Although demons still emerge every moment, their numbers have decreased significantly compared to the beginning.

After arriving at the Demon Cave, these demons scattered and aimlessly searched for their target.

In addition, demons from outside have spread throughout the entire Demon Cave Mountain.

The two sides engaged in fierce fighting on the perimeter, with a steady stream of demons leaving the blood pool to provide support.

Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao enveloped themselves with the power of Hunyuan, and were not discovered by the Heavenly Demons for a short time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two went on a killing spree, reaping dozens of Heavenly Demons with each attack.

"Su Chen, have you noticed that these Heavenly Demons are getting stronger and stronger?"

After killing over a thousand Heavenly Demons, the Heaven-Slaying Blade transmitted its findings to Su Chen.

The number of demons has decreased, but their strength has increased significantly.

The Heavenly Demons who have just emerged are generally at the peak of the Longevity Realm, and some are even no weaker than those at the Divine Power Realm.

When they shouted the Heavenly Demon Sound in unison, the entire space-time was filled with a sound that disturbed people's minds. If Su Chen and the Broken Heaven Blade's primordial spirit had not been strong enough, they would have been overwhelmed by it and would have been discovered by the Heavenly Demon if they were not careful.

"Could it be the Asura King leading his troops?" Duan Tian Dao was somewhat doubtful. The memories he had absorbed did not contain a detailed introduction to the Asura forces, but the sheer number of powerful demons made him uneasy.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was about to speak when he suddenly felt a strange tremor in his heart. A very familiar power came from below, exactly the same as the Shura from back then, which startled him.

"Not good! Heaven-Slaying Blade! Leave this place immediately!"

Another Asura appeared. Although its strength was comparable to the previous Asura, what made Su Chen wary was not its strength, but the sudden change. Another Asura appeared, which meant that there would be a second one, or even more. Would the Asura King eventually appear as well?
With his and Duan Tian Dao's strength, they could be fearless against any Asura, but they absolutely could not ignore the Asura King. That's why, as soon as they discovered that an Asura had appeared, Su Chen made a decisive decision to leave with Duan Tian Dao. Otherwise, if the Asura King appeared, they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

"Huh? What's that smell? It doesn't smell like the aura of my Heavenly Demon Clan. It smells like the aura of a human warrior... It's been so long since I've smelled such a wonderful scent... Are all human warriors this brave? They actually dare to come to my door!"

Not long after Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao left, a beautiful figure emerged from the seal. She was alluring and stunningly beautiful, like a red rose. She wore a suit of red armor that perfectly showcased her graceful figure, and beneath her fiery red lips was a licking tongue.

"left?"

The female Asura Ayana pursed her lips, realizing that Su Chen's aura had disappeared. It seemed that the other party had a very strong ability to hide, making it impossible for her to find the direction he left in for a while. This made her feel a little regretful. The fat meat that was about to be eaten had just flown away. It was really hateful!
"Your Highness Ayena, His Highness Almo... he's dead!"

Upon seeing Ayana, a demon leader stepped forward to pay homage and brought bad news.

"Dead?" Ayana was startled upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossing her beautiful face as she demanded sharply, "Who killed him?"

Although Almo was just one of her many good-for-nothing brothers, the fact that a noble-blooded Asura was killed was a disgrace to the Asura clan.

"This...is a human warrior!"

Hearing this, Ayena became even more furious. It was bad enough that Almo had died, but in the end, he died at the hands of a human warrior.

"Where are they?" Ayana asked in a low voice.

"This... I don't know. We've searched the entire area within a hundred miles, but we haven't found any trace of human warriors."

"Then search for them until you find this group of human warriors. This place was created by human warriors for training. They must not have gone far yet. Before my father arrives with his troops, we must find them. Once we find them, I will present them to my father immediately. Do you understand what I said?" Ayena stared coldly at the commander.

The commander was startled and quickly replied, "Yes!"

After the commander left, Ayana snorted coldly: "Whether you are the murderer of Almo or not, following you will surely lead me to the other human warriors, and then I can wipe you all out in one fell swoop!"

The competition among Asuras is equally brutal. If she wants to stand out from the Asura King's many offspring, she must capture all the human warriors and present them to the Asura King before her other brothers and sisters arrive at the Demon Cave. Only in this way can she win the Asura King's favor.

Thinking of this, a dark demonic power surged around her, and she muttered strange incantations. Relying on the connection between her bloodlines, she quickly sensed the direction she had left in.

"Found you! You can't escape!"

Following this faint sense, Ayana transformed into a black light and sped out, soon arriving at the front of the secret passage. Although she did not see Su Chen and the Broken Sky Blade, she quickly sensed the aura leaking from the secret passage.

After Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao left, they sealed off the secret passage. However, they didn't keep it a secret for long, as Ayana quickly discovered it. She raised her hand and blasted the secret passage open. With a loud bang, a wide road appeared before them.

Seeing this, Ayana rushed into the secret passage without saying a word. She was not worried about traps at all. On the one hand, her own strength gave her confidence, and on the other hand, she did not think that she would encounter powerful human warriors here.

While Ayana was destroying the secret passage, Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao didn't hear a sound. They moved with lightning speed, arriving more than ten miles away in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and were still moving at a rapid pace.

at the same time.

Yunxi and her group had already arrived at the end of the passage without any incident. To everyone's surprise, the end of the passage was located near the ruined city. After they walked out of the cave, they arrived at the ruined city.

Fortunately, all the demons were lured to Demon Cave Mountain, and there weren't many demons around, which made the people who entered the ruined city breathe a sigh of relief.

Despite surviving the ordeal, the expressions on everyone's faces remained tense.

"Senior Brother Xiangcheng, can you contact Elder Lu Hai?" a disciple asked Xiangcheng. Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the Ziyang Sect looked at Xiangcheng with expectant expressions.

At this moment, facing so many demons and celestial demons, they no longer had the mind to train; they only wanted to contact the elders outside as soon as possible so that they could activate the great formation in advance and escape.

Xiang Cheng wasn't the only one doing this; after arriving in the ruined city, almost all the sects were trying to contact the outside world.

Xiang Cheng shook his head: "Unable to contact them at the moment."

He knew perfectly well what everyone was thinking, and he himself longed to leave, but for some reason, he was unable to contact Lu Hai, let alone send out any messages from inside.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed disappointment.

Xiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at He Qiu, wondering if He Qiu had any way to contact the elders of the Sheng Yuan Sect.

Xiang Cheng wasn't the only one with this thought; other disciples who hadn't been able to contact their sects all turned their gazes toward He Qiu.

However, no one spoke; they simply watched He Qiu in silence. When they saw He Qiu's furrowed brows, their breathing became rapid.

Finally, He Qiu's brows relaxed slightly, and someone asked, "Senior Brother He Qiu, have you been able to contact the outside world?"

"I do not have either."

To everyone's surprise, He Qiu's reply was very somber.

"Does that mean we can only wait to die here?"

Some people become so flustered that they lose their composure and inevitably develop pessimistic feelings.

"Senior Sister Yunxi, do you know a way to leave?"

At this moment, someone looked at Yun Xi as if grasping at a straw and asked, after all, Yun Xi had been to the Demon Cave many times and might know a way to leave.

To their disappointment, Yunxi was also unsure, and she shook her head in response.

"What about Su Chen? Didn't Su Chen learn how to leave Demon Cave Mountain from the dragon? He might know how to leave Demon Cave!"

Suddenly, someone seemed to have thought of something and asked loudly.

These words instantly resonated with everyone.

“That makes sense. The culprit behind this is the dragon. It set up the Pure Yang Pool as a trap to lure us out, release the Heavenly Demon, and attract the demons. It must have a way to leave the Demon Cave.”

"That's right, he can't possibly just sit here and wait to die with us, can he?"

"Why hasn't Su Chen appeared yet at this hour? Did he leave alone first?"

"Damn it, I now suspect that this person deliberately left these words so that we could cover for him and buy him time to leave the Demon Cave!"

"..."

Like a bomb being lit, Su Chen was attacked by the crowd.

This time, those who had previously defended Su Chen fell silent, because even they themselves had this idea.

"Senior Sister Yunxi, did Su Chen tell you where he went?"

Xiang Cheng stared directly at Yun Xi with a hint of interrogation, but quickly realized something was wrong and softened his tone slightly.

"do not know!"

Yunxi replied coldly, having completely lost faith in this group and not wanting to respond in any way.

"Look, isn't that Su Chen?"

Just then, a cry of surprise drew everyone's attention. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw the figure outside the ruined city.

It was Su Chen.

Su Chen also saw He Qiu and the others not far away, so he quickened his pace and joined them.

Not long after, he arrived at the ruined city and came to where Yunxi was.

As soon as he landed, Su Chen sensed the heavy atmosphere. Before he could ask anything, Xiang Cheng asked, "Su Chen, let me ask you, where have you been all this time?"

Hearing this interrogative tone, Su Chen frowned slightly: "Where I go is none of your business."

"You..." Xiang Cheng was speechless upon hearing this, his veins bulging, and a surge of anger welled up on his face.

At this moment, He Qiu spoke up, also questioning Su Chen: "Su Chen, Yun Xi said that you killed the dragon and obtained a lot of useful information from it, including how to leave Demon Cave Mountain. So I ask you, do you know how to leave Demon Cave?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious, and they stared intently at Su Chen, awaiting his answer.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen scoffed.

"What are you laughing at?" He Qiu's face darkened, clearly displeased with Su Chen's perfunctory attitude.

After hearing this, Su Chen coldly said, "Let's put that aside for now. He Qiu, let me ask you a question first."

"What advice do you have?" He Qiu replied indifferently.

"I wouldn't call it instruction, but I just want to know why you deliberately sealed off the secret passage after I kindly told you how to leave Demon Cave Mountain."

"Seal the secret passage?"

Everyone was taken aback by Su Chen's words, looked at each other in bewilderment, and then shook their heads.

He Qiu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and said sternly, "You're right. This was my doing. If the secret passage were allowed to open, who could guarantee that the Heavenly Demon wouldn't follow us? I sealed the secret passage for everyone's benefit. Otherwise, would everyone just wait to die with you?"

These words were spoken with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring conviction, quickly winning the approval of the crowd, who nodded frequently in agreement.

Su Chen chuckled, speechless at the other party's attitude.

He was too lazy to continue the conversation and coldly snorted, "Since that's the case, then you can just die!" (End of Chapter)
