Emperor Qiankun

Seeing Zhao Hui's miserable condition, the men following behind him were immediately frightened and turned pale. They retreated backwards in horror.

At this moment, Chen Lingyu, who had been standing quietly beside him, finally moved.

His body was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed in front of those men who were retreating in a hurry.

He was seen striking with lightning speed, punching, kicking, grabbing and locking...

However, in just a few moments, those people were in a miserable state, covered with scars and bruises, and no longer had the strength to resist.

......

At this moment, Li Qingyuan was like a king dominating the world, standing tall and proud on a high place. His stern eyes were cast downwards like cold stars, staring closely at Zhao Hui who was in a miserable state in the pit.

Zhao Hui endured the excruciating pain in his body, raised his head with difficulty, met Li Qingyuan's eyes, and said through gritted teeth:

"Boy, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you will die too!"

After he finished speaking, his throat moved and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. The bright red blood was particularly glaring in the dim dungeon.

Facing Zhao Hui's threat, Li Qingyuan said nothing, but just stared at him quietly.

Seeing that Li Qingyuan was unmoved, Zhao Hui thought to himself:

“Looking at this kid’s demeanor, he must be from this city.

If that's the case, then his family must be here too.

As long as I can get him to spare my life, I'd be happy to tell him where his family is."

Then, he continued to shout to Li Qingyuan:

"If you're willing to let me live, I'll tell you the whereabouts of your family. How about that?"

When Li Qingyuan heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, as if thoughts were surging in them, and he seemed to be moved by Zhao Hui's words.

In the distance, Chen Lingyu heard this and without saying a word, he walked towards the depths of the dungeon and started searching.

......

Zhao Hui naturally noticed Chen Lingyu's actions, but instead of feeling panicked, he raised a strange smile with blood stains on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, Chen Lingyu returned and shook his head slightly at Li Qingyuan, indicating that he had gained nothing.

When Li Qingyuan saw Chen Lingyu's actions, his originally calm expression instantly turned cold.

Seeing this, Zhao Hui completely ignored the worsening injuries in his body and laughed more and more wildly, even blood gushing out with his laughter.

"Laugh at your grandma!"

Seeing Zhao Hui being so arrogant, Chen Lingyu kicked Zhao Hui in the pit in anger.

"what......"

Zhao Hui cried out in pain, but still said in a mocking tone:

"Haha, if you kill me, you'll never find your family again!"

"You're tough on the outside, huh? You have a backbone, right? Okay! Today, I'm going to take a good look at just how tough you can be."

Chen Lingyu snorted coldly, his face was as cold as ice, and his narrow eyes flashed with cold light.

Immediately, he reached into his arms with his slender fingers, gently pinched it, and took out a small gray sword.

This small sword is only about one foot long, with a narrow and sharp blade, emitting a chilling cold light.

Chen Lingyu shook his wrist, and the sword was like a spirit snake, directly cutting off one of Zhao Hui's fingers.

Zhao Hui suddenly felt a sharp pain. The pain that connected his fingers to his heart instantly ignited his nerves, and he couldn't help but scream in pain again.

However, despite the unbearable pain, he gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

......

Seeing this situation, Li Qingyuan knew that the stalemate could not continue any longer.

He sent a voice message to Chen Lingyu, saying:

"Brother, I don't think this guy will give up for a while. I'm going to go inside and look for other clues. Don't kill him, I still have some use for him."

When Chen Lingyu heard Li Qingyuan's words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and he nodded slightly.

After receiving Chen Lingyu's response, Li Qingyuan flashed and rushed towards the depths of the dungeon.

At this time, although Zhao Hui was tortured to death by severe pain, he still forced himself not to faint.

When he caught a glimpse of Li Qingyuan's departing figure out of the corner of his eye, an ominous premonition inexplicably welled up in his heart.

However, he didn't have time to think about it.

Because the gray sword in Chen Lingyu's hand slashed again, another finger was ruthlessly cut off.

As the finger fell to the ground, Zhao Hui could no longer endure this inhuman torture and let out a heart-wrenching howl.

His shrill screams echoed throughout the dungeon, making people's hair stand on end.

......

Li Qingyuan walked slowly along the dark and damp road in the dungeon.

At this time, he held a piece of fire stone emitting soft light in his hand.

The warm yellow light spread out like ripples, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

With the help of the firelight, Li Qingyuan discovered many huge iron cages.

But without exception, they were all empty, with no one inside.

Li Qingyuan continued to move forward, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He walked to the end of the road, but still couldn't find a single person.

Li Qingyuan frowned and muttered to himself, "Where are the people?"

Full of doubts, he stopped and began to ponder.

He speculated secretly:

Is this place just a smokescreen to confuse others?

Maybe the people from Black Mountain Town are not here at all, but are imprisoned somewhere else?

But the two elders of the Chen family both said with certainty that the person was imprisoned in the dungeon, so it shouldn't be false!

So, where did Li Changtian and others go?

Could it be that because I arrived a step too late, they were all killed?

All kinds of thoughts flooded his mind, making him upset and confused, but he couldn't make sense of them for a while.

......

Suddenly, Li Qingyuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he couldn't help but think:

If the people from Black Mountain Town are really not here, then what are that thin man and the others doing here?

Are they here to play in this dungeon?

Li Qingyuan didn't believe it.

After all, it is impossible for a cultivator in the Earthly Demon Realm to appear here for no reason.

Furthermore, the thin man had previously claimed that he knew the whereabouts of everyone.

Judging from these signs, Li Changtian and others should not be in danger of their lives, and they are very likely in this dungeon.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan's originally anxious heart calmed down a little.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then looked at the gloomy and silent dungeon again.

He first walked slowly to the end of the dungeon, stretched out his hand, and gently knocked on the earth wall. A dull sound was heard, confirming that the wall was solid and there was nothing unusual.
