Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

Ye Yunjian didn't explain. He took a deep breath, and then... Ye Yunjian leaped over the ever-widening crack beneath his feet.

Lin Yao, Nie Hanshan, Gu Ling, and Elder Xuanfeng followed suit, jumping over one after another.

As soon as they landed, the ground behind them collapsed with a roar, kicking up clouds of dust.

Still shaken, the group dared not linger and rushed toward the glimmer of light.

However, the road to escape was not smooth.

The cracks spread out like a spider web, crisscrossing and blocking their way.

Blazing flames erupted from the crack, scorching the air and crackling.

The heat wave hit me, burning my skin and making it hard to breathe.

Ye Yunjian tried to jump again, but this time the crack was wider and the flames were more intense.

He had just jumped into the air when he was forced back by the overwhelming heat and almost fell into the crack.

Lin Yao exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously reached out to pull him, but he grabbed her hand and steadied himself.

"From the side!" Nie Hanshan shouted, wielding his giant axe, attempting to carve a path from the side.

However, huge boulders rolled down from the top of the cave, blocking the path on the side as well.

A sense of despair began to spread through everyone's hearts. Were they really going to perish here?

At this critical moment, Ye Yunjian suddenly thought of something.

He quickly took out a crystal-clear red crystal from his storage bag—the Mystic Fire Crystal.

The Xuanhuo Crystal emitted a soft light, illuminating the surrounding space.

Surprisingly, under the light of the Xuanhuo Crystal, the surging flames gradually shrank, as if they were being suppressed in some way.

"Follow me!" Ye Yunjian raised the Xuanhuo Crystal high and led the charge into the area of ​​flames.

The light from the Xuanhuo Crystal formed a barrier, keeping the heat waves of the flames out.

Lin Yao and the others followed closely behind, passing through the area of ​​flames and running towards the sliver of light.

Finally, they reached the light.

It was a narrow passage, and the light was coming in from the other end of the passage.

Everyone was overjoyed, their faces beaming with the relief of surviving a disaster.

However, just as they were about to enter the passage, a low roar came from the depths of the passage, like a demon from hell, sending chills down their spines...

"Wait..." Ye Yunjian raised his hand, stopping everyone from moving forward.

The roars emanating from the depths of the passage pounded against everyone's hearts like drumbeats.

Ye Yunjian gripped the "Frostbite" sword tightly, its blade gleaming with a chilling white light that reflected on his resolute face.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the narrow passage first.

Lin Yao followed closely behind, holding a short sword in her hand, her delicate brows furrowed.

The passageway was dark, with only a sliver of light coming in from the entrance barely illuminating the few steps ahead.

The fear of the unknown followed her everywhere. She could feel her heart beating faster and faster, and her palms were sweating profusely.

Elder Xuanfeng walked at the back. His hair and beard were all white, but he was still vigorous. His sharp, hawk-like eyes scanned his surroundings, and the staff in his hand shimmered with a faint golden light.

The air in the passage was heavy and oppressive, filled with a faint smell of blood, which gave him an ominous premonition.

Suddenly, a dark shadow lunged out from the side wall of the passage!

All the people saw was a black shadow flash by, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, and sharp claws reached out to grab Ye Yunjian.

Ye Yunjian reacted extremely quickly, barely dodging the fatal blow by turning to the side, and at the same time, he thrust his sword at the dark figure with his other hand.

With a clang, the black shadow was forced back, revealing its true form—a gigantic shadow wolf!

It was entirely black, its eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty red light, and its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the dim light.

Seeing this, Nie Hanshan roared, "Beast, stop being so arrogant!" He brandished his broadsword with the force of thunder and slashed fiercely at the Shadow Wolf.

The shadow wolf couldn't dodge in time and was slashed in the back, letting out a painful howl.

Blood splattered, staining the rock walls of the passageway red.

The wounded Shadow Wolf became even more ferocious, howling at the sky with an even stronger glint of ferocity in its eyes.

It pounced on Ye Yunjian again, its speed as fast as lightning, its sharp claws carrying a fierce gust of wind, determined to tear Ye Yunjian to pieces.

"Ye Yunjian, be careful!" Lin Yao exclaimed, her heart leaping into her throat.

Ye Yunjian's eyes narrowed, and the Frost Sword in his hand shone brightly...

The tip of the Frostbite sword was pointed directly at Shadow Wolf's throat, and the voice was icy cold: "Beast, prepare to die!"

The tip of the "Frostbite" sword was pointed directly at the Shadow Wolf's throat. His tone was icy cold. "Beast, die!" Ye Yunjian's figure flickered like a ghost, dodging the Shadow Wolf's attack. The "Frostbite" sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and a sharp sword aura went straight for the Shadow Wolf's throat.

The shadow wolf cried out in pain, letting out a shrill howl as foul-smelling blood gushed out, staining the narrow passage red.

However, this is just the beginning.

The wounded Shadow Wolf became even more frenzied, its scarlet eyes fixed on Ye Yunjian as if it wanted to devour him alive.

It let out a low growl, and its figure transformed into a black shadow once again, moving faster and attacking more fiercely than before.

Sharp claws tore through the air, emitting sharp screechs that sent chills down one's spine.

Ye Yunjian and his men were immediately plunged into a fierce battle.

The shadow wolves were too fast; they could only barely parry and had no chance to retaliate.

The narrow passage also restricted their movement.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.

Seeing Ye Yunjian and the others being suppressed by the Shadow Wolves, Lin Yao was extremely anxious.

She gritted her teeth, channeled her spiritual energy, and prepared to unleash a ranged attack.

However, the Shadow Wolf seemed to have sensed her intention, and its huge tail swept out with a whistling sound, striking Lin Yao hard.

"Ah!" Lin Yao cried out in pain as her delicate body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the rock wall of the passage.

A mouthful of blood gushed from the corner of her mouth, staining her clothes red.

She clutched her chest in pain, her face as pale as paper.

"Lin Yao!" Nie Hanshan roared, his eyes bloodshot, and charged toward the Shadow Wolf without regard for anything else.

He wielded his broadsword with tremendous force, slashing fiercely at the Shadow Wolf with overwhelming power.

A fire of rage burned in his eyes, and he had only one thought at that moment: to tear this beast to pieces!

Seeing this, Gu Ling quickly ran to Lin Yao's side to check on her injuries.

He carefully helped Lin Yao up, his eyes filled with worry and concern: "Lin Yao, how are you? Are you badly hurt?"

Lin Yao endured the pain and shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just... cough cough..." Before she could finish speaking, she coughed violently again, and more blood gushed from her mouth.

The Shadow Wolves' attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Ye Yunjian and the others gradually felt overwhelmed.
