I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

The man in black smiled strangely and said, "I originally wanted to wait until you left the ruins before taking action, but I didn't expect you to come to the door yourself. In this case, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, he flashed and turned into a black shadow and rushed toward everyone.

Zhao Qi reacted quickly and blocked the attack of the man in black with one swing of his sword. However, the strength of the man in black was beyond his expectation, and was actually on par with him.

A fierce battle ensued. The man in black was strong and fierce, and every attack hit the vital point.

Zhao Qi relied on his extraordinary wisdom and swordsmanship to deal with it. Yi Wuxiao and others also drew their swords to help, but after all, their strength was not as good as Zhao Qi and the man in black, so they could only support from the sidelines.

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides were exhausted. However, at this moment, the man in black suddenly revealed a flaw.

Zhao Qi had quick eyes and quick hands, and stabbed his chest with a sword. The man in black was unable to dodge and was penetrated by the sword.

"You...you actually..." The man in black's eyes widened, his face full of unwillingness and fear. He seemed to want to say something, but all he could make was a "gurgling" sound.

Zhao Qi looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think you are the only one who can make a sneak attack? Let me tell you, this is not a place for you to run wild!"

The man in black glared at Zhao Qi, then slowly fell to the ground. His eyes were still wide open, and he seemed to be determined to die.

Everyone looked at the man in black on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. This sudden battle made them feel the danger and cruelty in the ruins again.

Zhao Qi put away his sword and said to everyone: "Don't let down your guard, there may be other enemies here. We will take turns to keep vigil tonight to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They sat around the campfire again and began their long vigil.

The night is like ink and the stars are dotted. Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao, Zhang Youyuan, Qian Wushuang, Lan Lingling, Chen Yuhe and Su Ling'er sat around the bonfire in the ruins.

The firelight danced, illuminating everyone's faces in and out, like a moving picture.

"I didn't expect that we could escape from that secret room." Yi Wuxiao was the first to break the silence. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Brother Zhao Qi this time." Zhang Youyuan agreed, "If you hadn't stayed calm in the face of danger, we would have become the dead souls in the secret room."

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "We are all brothers in the same sect, and we should support each other. Besides, I cannot achieve what I am today without your help and support."

Hearing this, Qian Wushuang laughed and said, "Brother Zhao Qi is right, we are all one family. Although this trip to the ruins is extremely dangerous, it also made us more united."

Lan Lingling gently cracked a melon seed, her beautiful eyes shining with determination.

"Well, I believe that as long as we work together, nothing can stop us."

Chen Yuhe and Su Linger also nodded in agreement. Although they are gentle and pleasant on weekdays, they are also women-like at critical moments.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed. They began to talk about each other's worries and future plans.

Yi Wuxiao sighed and said: "To be honest, I have always felt that I am mediocre. No matter how hard I practice, I can never break through the bottleneck. Sometimes I really want to give up."

Zhao Qi patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Brother Yi, there is no need to feel inferior. The journey of cultivation is inherently difficult and difficult, and it cannot be done by those without great perseverance. I believe that as long as you persevere, one day you will be rewarded with all the hardships."

Zhang Youyuan also said: "Yes, Brother Yi. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. You don't have to be too harsh on yourself. As long as you do your best, you will be good."

Qian Wushuang chuckled and said jokingly: "Brother Yi, if you really think you're not good, then spend all your training time making money. Anyway, you are quite talented in this area."

Yi Wuxiao was so amused by him that he couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "You're a guy who knows how to make sarcastic remarks."

Lan Lingling glanced at Zhao Qi and said softly: "Brother Zhao, you have always been the best among us. I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

Zhao Qi pondered for a moment and then said: "To be honest, I gained a lot from my trip to the ruins. Not only did I get precious items such as elixirs and magic weapons, but I also learned some profound martial arts techniques. I want to go into seclusion after returning to the sect. Practice for a period of time and strive to break through the bottleneck and advance to a higher level as soon as possible. "

When Chen Yuhe and Su Ling'er heard this, they both looked envious. Although they also gained something, they were still far behind Zhao Qilai.

However, they were not jealous, but were happy for Zhao Qi.

"Brother Zhao is really talented." Chen Yuhe praised sincerely, "We believe you will be able to succeed."

Su Ling'er also nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zhao, you have always been our role model."

After everyone talked for a while, they began to take turns to keep vigil. They knew that in this dangerous ruins, they could not take things lightly at any time.

As the night got darker, only Zhao Qi was left awake by the bonfire, guarding the safety of everyone. He looked up at the stars, his heart filled with anticipation and determination for the future.

The sun shines through the gaps and dapples the ancient ruins. After a night's rest, Zhao Qi and others started a new day of exploration in high spirits.

They shuttled through the intricate passages, taking every step carefully for fear of missing any hidden secrets.

"Everyone, please pay attention, there is a stone room here!" Yi Wuxiao's sharp eyes first discovered a secret room hidden behind the stone wall.

Everyone heard the sound and gathered around, only to see some vague patterns carved on the stone wall, which seemed to be an ancient seal.

"Let me try." Zhao Qi stepped forward, stretched out his palm and pressed it against the stone wall. He circulated the true energy in his body and tried to communicate with the seal. After a while, the stone wall shook slightly, and a stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep stone chamber.

"Be careful." Zhao Qi reminded everyone and walked into the stone chamber first. The furnishings in the stone room are simple, with only a stone table and a few stone benches. On the stone table were a yellowed classic and a jade slip that exuded a faint light.

"It seems that I have never seen the martial arts mental methods recorded in this classic." Zhang Youyuan flipped through the classics with a look of surprise on his face.

"The secret hidden in this jade slip is probably even more profound." Qian Wushuang rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Everyone, please don't act rashly." Zhao Qi looked around and said solemnly, "Since there are such precious classics and jade slips here, there will definitely be traps."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. They began to search carefully inside the stone chamber, trying to find more clues.

After a careful search, they finally found a hidden mechanism in the corner of the stone room.

Zhao Qi stepped forward and pressed it gently, and saw the patterns on the stone wall begin to rotate slowly, making bursts of roaring sounds.

"Back away!" Zhao Qi shouted and pulled everyone back quickly to the door of the stone room. With a loud noise, the stone wall collapsed, revealing a deeper passage.
