The crowd started talking all at once, their questions coming one after another, the chaotic noise making Qing Chen's head spin.

One person in the team even spurred his horse forward, rushing ahead.

"Captain Wu?!"

Seeing Captain Wu had already charged out, the others were eager to try.

But You Sisi stopped them all with a roar.

"No one is allowed to follow! Before we understand the situation, no one is allowed to act rashly!"

Although You Sisi was also very anxious and wanted to immediately support Fang Yue, she knew that things couldn't be rushed.

She had decided to lead the team to venture into the secret passage. If this was a trap, if the team was wiped out because of her decision, then she would be the sinner who killed everyone!

So, she couldn't rush!

She glanced at Jing Yan, who was nervously holding Little Blood Bucket, and Yu Baiyi and others, who were helping Lin Ling, and then You Sisi calmly asked.

"Tell me everything you know!"

...

Time returned to the moment when Fang Yue and Lord Ma's auras first clashed.

The violent air waves generated by the collision blasted Qing Chen and the others away.

After confirming they were okay, Fang Yue refocused his attention.

Gently wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Fang Yue's smile became even more ferocious.

[Qi Field] and [Innate Qi Shield] are symbols of a Xiantian (Innate) realm martial artist.

After Fang Yue became a Xiantian realm martial artist, he naturally learned [Qi Field].

Because it was just the external release of inner force.

It was just that after reaching the realm, this external release of inner force was naturally strengthened, forming a [Qi Field].

From Fang Yue's actual understanding, it was similar to [Qi Explosion] in fighting games.

By compressing inner force and releasing it instantaneously, the burst of impact force causes stiffness to enemies who are close, creating opportunities for attack, counterattack, or evasion.

However, this kind of move consumes a lot of inner force.

If the released inner force is insufficient, it will not be able to cause an effective impact force and create a stiffness effect.

Only when the storage of released inner force reaches a certain level can the [Qi Field] be considered formed and truly effective.

In addition to the conventional Qi Explosion effect, [Qi Field] can also be used to clear the field.

Although the closer the enemy is to the release of the [Qi Field], the more obvious the Qi Explosion effect, if the enemy is much weaker than oneself, then as long as the [Qi Field] is released, even if it spreads to distant enemies and only has some power left, it is enough to suppress weaker enemies, similar to the absolute pressure of a superior on a subordinate!

When Lord Ma's [Qi Field] erupted just now, he wanted to use the absolute posture of a superior to directly kill Fang Yue with one move.

However, he did not expect that Fang Yue was also a Xiantian realm martial artist and could also use [Qi Field]!

The collision of the two Qi Fields formed the violent air wave that had just spread out.

At first glance, Fang Yue seemed to have the strength to fight Lord Ma.

But both sides knew that Fang Yue had been at a disadvantage just now.

Compared with Lord Ma's surging [Qi Field], Fang Yue's [Qi Field] was not only crude in technique but also extremely fragile. He was only relying on the advantage of short distance, the advantage of reacting second, and a large amount of inner force released at once to barely manage a draw.

There was no way around it; Fang Yue's internal cultivation method had not even reached the ninth level. It was still the eighth level of the Raging Fire Heart Sutra!

Using an incomplete Houtian (Acquired) realm cultivation method to clash head-on with someone else's completely mature Xiantian cultivation method, the result was obvious, not to mention that Lord Ma's strength was even higher than Fang Yue's!

"Not a third-rate Xiantian realm… at least a second-rate, or even a first-rate Xiantian!"

Fang Yue had experience fighting with Steward Liao and knew what level a third-rate Xiantian realm martial artist was at.

The unfathomable Lord Ma in front of him was far stronger than Steward Liao in every aspect!

Even so, Fang Yue still had no intention of retreating. Instead, his fighting spirit became more vigorous.

Lin Ling's revenge, Lord Han's revenge, and those dirty yao ren (medicine people) businesses, those insane experimental subject studies...

All of this gave Fang Yue no reason to retreat, no reason… to let go of the person in front of him!

The minor internal injuries caused by the [Qi Field] collision had already been completely recovered with the help of [Breath of the Night].

As for inner force...

Fang Yue stared at Lord Ma, and with a backhand, he took out pills for restoring inner force and chewed them as if eating beans.

"Hmm?"

Lord Ma's surprised expression became even more obvious.

He had indeed underestimated Fang Yue's strength.

He had originally thought of directly suppressing him with his [Qi Field].

He didn't expect that Fang Yue was also a Xiantian realm martial artist!

With the collision of the two Qi Fields, he had instead wasted his inner force.

However, judging from Fang Yue's consumption of so many pills, even if this boy was in the Xiantian realm, the upper limit of his strength couldn't be too high.

Without hesitation, he suddenly took a step and strode forward again.

When Fang Yue noticed this, he did not stop and walked directly towards him.

"Oh? Not choosing to escape, but walking towards me again! Little fellow, you're a little too arrogant!"

As if he had been looked down upon, Lord Ma sneered and continued, "Do you think that just because you are also in the Xiantian realm, you can fight me? Frog at the bottom of a well! The difference in strength between Xiantian realms is far from what the Houtian realm can compare to. Being in the same Xiantian realm, the difference in strength between you and me is like an ant compared to an elephant, not comparable!"

As his voice spread, Fang Yue's smile became even more ferocious: "Are you trembling?"

"What…"

"Trembling with fear, so you're talking more?"

"Quick words are useless!"

Thump thump thump!

Lord Ma's pace gradually quickened, each step crushing the floor tiles and leaving footprints!

Thump thump thump!

Fang Yue's pace also gradually quickened, and red flames emerged from his body, enveloping his entire body, burning the floor tiles, and leaving a trail of scorched marks.

"Destroying my stronghold, killing my subordinates, leading a guiwuru shi (attracting ghosts into the house)... Today, if I don't tear you into pieces, I, Ma Zuo, will write my name backwards!"

Lord Ma's figure became faster and faster, advancing while suddenly moving left and right, emitting a faint silver light, as if using some kind of movement technique, ghostly like a shadow!

"Imprisoning Lord Han, gouging out Lin Ling's right eye, harming the compatriots of Black Green Mountain, running yao ren businesses, conducting experimental subject research, today if I don't grind your bones to ashes, I won't be named Fang!"

The flames on Fang Yue's feet instantly turned into a blazing white color and dyed the flames all over his body white, his speed increased explosively, and he charged forward!

Both speeds instantly accelerated to the extreme, as if they had turned into two rays of light.

"Stinky brat!"

The silver light was faster and more agile.

"Dead horse head!"

The white light was slightly slower but extremely powerful!

In a frenzy of roars, the two rays of light accelerated madly until they completely collided!

Boom!!!

A moment of pause, a huge explosion that resounded throughout the entire passage, burst out!

The entire main passage shook, as if it was about to collapse, and rocks continued to fall!
