"Master, I'm so sorry! I didn't realize it was a trap, so..."
As Shao Siming spoke, her voice gradually softened. Luo Chen, hearing this, waved his hand dismissively and said to Shao Siming:
"Forget it! I don't have anything else to do anyway. Besides, I asked you to help me find it. Now that we've found the entrance, let's go in quickly!"
After saying this, Luo Chen walked towards the altar. Seeing this, Shao Siming, to prevent any further accidents, hurriedly said to Luo Chen:
"Master, let me do it!"
As Shao Siming finished speaking, she quickly ran up to the altar. Luo Chen, upon hearing Shao Siming's words, nonchalantly replied:
"It's alright, I'll do it!"
After saying this, Luo Chen placed his hands on the Buddha statue next to him. As Luo Chen exerted force, the stone statue slowly moved away.
At that moment, a bottomless pit appeared in front of Luo Chen.
When Shao Siming saw this, she said to Luo Chen with delight:
"Master, I'm certain this is the place! Let's go down!"
After saying this, Shao Siming jumped directly inside. Luo Chen followed suit and jumped in after her. At this moment, the Buddha statue that had been opened slowly covered the hole again.
After Luo Chen and Shao Siming had completely flown into the bottomless tunnel, a sliver of candlelight finally illuminated Luo Chen's eyes.
Chapter 430 Zhao Gao, Trapped in a Dead End
Through the dim candlelight, Luo Chen gently pulled Shao Siming behind him, and then carefully walked forward alone.
"Da da da."
Because of the damp air in the tunnel, water droplets occasionally dripped from the surrounding walls onto the ground. However, Luo Chen did not let this interfere with his senses; instead, he listened even more carefully to the surrounding situation.
As they gradually arrived at one of the forks in the road, Shao Siming was also at a loss as to which path to take.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen slowly put his finger into his mouth, and then placed his saliva-covered finger at the intersection of the two roads.
After Luo Chen had tried each of his fingers, a smile gradually appeared on his face. He then said to Shao Siming behind him:
"Take the left-hand road!"
When Shao Siming heard Luo Chen's words, she was also very puzzled and asked Luo Chen:
"Master, how did you know we should have taken the left-hand path?"
Upon hearing Shao Siming's words, Luo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter, explaining to Shao Siming:
"Because the ventilation is on the left!"
""
Right now, after leading Shao Siming into the left-hand passage, Luo Chen cautiously began to walk further in. When they were halfway there, Luo Chen stopped and warily said to Shao Siming beside him:
"careful!"
After saying this, Luo Chen carefully stepped over the thin thread below, and when Shao Siming saw this, she followed Luo Chen's example and slowly stepped over as well.
At that moment, a series of voices began to rise from the other end of the passage.
"Are you telling the truth? Is the Grand Master of Fate really dead?"
"How could it be fake? I saw it with my own eyes!"
Upon hearing the voice, Luo Chen flashed away like a ghost, rushing directly towards the source of the sound.
When the two disciples saw Shao Siming ahead, they were about to shout, but a black shadow flashed past them. Then, when they tried to speak, they found themselves unable to utter a word.
Blood gushed from the necks of the two disciples, and then their heads fell to the ground from their shoulders.
Upon seeing this, Shao Siming hurriedly came to Luo Chen's side, and the two continued to carefully walk forward.
When Luo Chen led Shao Siming out of the passage, the two of them appeared in the underground palace, and Zhao Gao sat in his seat with a sad expression.
Upon seeing Zhao Gao before him, Luo Chen couldn't help but sneer:
"Hey, isn't this our Lord Donghuang Taiyi! How did you end up in such a miserable state!"
Upon hearing the sounds coming from inside the palace, Zhao Gao also shouted angrily:
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me?!"
As Zhao Gao spoke, he quickly raised his head, but upon seeing Luo Chen before him, a look of panic appeared on his face. He asked Luo Chen in shock:
"Why are you here!"
At this moment, after hearing Zhao Gao's words, Luo Chen said with a cold smile:
"What? Are you surprised to see me here? Let me tell you the truth! I'm here today to take your life, so you'd better behave and not resist, or you'll suffer!"
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Zhao Gao slowly stood up, a cold smile on his face. Once he stood up, he reached out his right hand towards Luo Chen.
Just as Zhao Gao stretched out his hand, a handful of lime powder was thrown directly into Luo Chen's eyes. Luo Chen, who had been watching Zhao Gao's movements closely, waved his hand to brush away the lime powder in front of him after seeing it.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Gao hurriedly tried to flee to the side, but Luo Chen, seeing this, flashed forward and blocked Zhao Gao's path, coldly saying:
"What? You think you can just run away?"
After realizing he had nowhere to escape, Zhao Gao abandoned all other thoughts. He steeled his resolve, and his hands began to emit a red light. Then, after shouting, he quickly placed his hands on the ground.
The originally unremarkable floor began to emit a dark red light when Zhao Gao placed his hand on it.
Runes and incantations appeared on the ground, followed by a massive burst of flames that shot directly towards Luo Chen's body.
When Luo Chen saw this, a cold smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After seeing Zhao Gao's actions, Shao Siming hurriedly shouted loudly to Luo Chen:
"Master, be careful of those flames! Those flames are poisonous!"
Just as Shao Siming finished speaking, the flames on the talisman completely engulfed Luo Chen's body in the raging fire.
When Shao Siming saw this, she also began to feel anxious and hurriedly tried to rush towards Luo Chen.
But before Shao Siming could rush over, the flames that had been surrounding Luo Chen suddenly began to go out.
When Zhao Gao saw that the fire, which had been raging, had been completely extinguished, he stared in disbelief at the talisman on the ground and kept channeling his inner energy into it.
But no matter how much internal energy Zhao Gao poured into it, the talisman seemed to have no reaction at all, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Zhao Gao's face flushed red, Luo Chen chuckled and said to him:
"Zhao Gao, stop wasting your energy! Show me what you're capable of!"
When Zhao Gao heard Luo Chen's words, he realized that Luo Chen was probably behind it all. He slowly removed his hands from the ground and said to Luo Chen with a resentful tone:
"Hmph, don't think you can subdue me just because you broke one of my formations. I'll show you the power of the Xi clan!"
Just as Zhao Gao finished speaking, he bit his finger, and blood quickly flowed down his right hand. He seemed to feel no pain as he laughed maniacally.
Chapter 431 The Death of Zhao Gao
As more and more blood flowed from Zhao Gao's hands, his laughter gradually grew louder.
Zhao Gao laughed loudly as he slowly pulled his hand out of his mouth and began to draw on his left hand with his blood-stained right hand.
As the talisman on Zhao Gao's left hand was gradually completed, a surge of energy from heaven and earth began to converge on Zhao Gao's left hand.
"Five Poison Palm!"
After Zhao Gao finished drawing the talisman on his left hand with his own blood, a roar came out of his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, a scarlet light shot out from Zhao Gao's left hand and rushed towards Luo Chen.
Just as the red light was about to strike Luo Chen's body, Luo Chen's body suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"boom!"
As Luo Chen's figure disappeared, the Five Poison Palm struck the stone wall behind him, making a loud noise. Just then, Luo Chen's figure reappeared beside him.
Seeing the stone pillar constantly corroding, Luo Chen understood why Shao Siming had shouted at him to be careful of this attack.
After seeing that his palm strike had missed Luo Chen, Zhao Gao no longer hesitated and quickly struck Luo Chen with another palm strike.
Having learned of the power of the Five Poison Palm, Luo Chen's figure blurred, and a series of afterimages appeared in front of Zhao Gao.
Upon seeing so many clones before him, Zhao Gao felt a pang of panic and hastily unleashed his Five Poison Palm technique at the afterimages left by Luo Chen.
Just as Zhao Gao was about to unleash his final strike, Luo Chen landed directly in front of him.
Just as Zhao Gao was about to raise his left hand, Luo Chen swiftly grabbed it, a smile playing on her lips.
Startled, Zhao Gao hurriedly tried to pull his arm away from Luo Chen's grasp after seeing his hand being grabbed.
At this moment, Luo Chen's face flashed with a cold light, his eyes turned icy, and a sound of bone cracking came from Zhao Gao's wrist, followed by Zhao Gao's loud scream.
"what!"
Looking at his limp hands, Zhao Gao's face was covered in cold sweat as he stared in terror at Luo Chen.
After crippling Zhao Gao's left hand, Luo Chen didn't stop. He quickly grabbed Zhao Gao's other arm with both hands and pulled hard.
A stream of blood gushed out from Zhao Gao's right arm and sprayed to the side. After crippling both of Zhao Gao's arms, Luo Chen kicked Zhao Gao in the chest, sending him flying.
"Boom"
A dull thud echoed on the ground, and Zhao Gao lay motionless on the ground like a corpse.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen slowly walked towards Zhao Gao's direction.
Just as Luo Chen's footsteps approached Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao's body also began to move.
Zhao Gao struggled to lift himself off the ground, using the strength in his legs and body, and painfully knelt down.
Blood continued to flow from Zhao Gao's wound, but Zhao Gao maintained his arrogance as he sneered at Luo Chen:
"I won't let you leave so easily! I want you all to stay and stay with me!"
"Ha ha"
When Zhao Gao finished speaking, he burst into laughter, and blood quickly flowed from his mouth due to his intense emotional fluctuations.
Right after Zhao Gao finished laughing, he forcefully slammed his head against the floor.
"Boom"
After a loud thud as Zhao Gao's head struck the ground, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. At that moment, the entire underground palace seemed to begin to shake.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen had already guessed Zhao Gao's intention and loudly addressed Shao Siming:
"Oh no! We need to get out of here right now!"
Just as Luo Chen finished speaking, several sharp arrows flew rapidly towards Luo Chen and Shao Siming with a whooshing sound. Luo Chen didn't even need to look to know where the arrows were coming from.
After saying those words, Luo Chen pulled Shao Siming, who was standing to the side, into his arms and then quickly struck out with his palm behind him.
As soon as Luo Chen unleashed his palm strike, several metallic sounds echoed behind him and his companions.
Right now, the shaking inside the underground palace has begun to intensify, with stones falling rapidly from above.
After delivering the palm strike, Luo Chen no longer hesitated and used his movement technique to its fullest extent, quickly flying out of the underground palace.
A bright light appeared before Luo Chen's eyes. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen leaped quickly out of the passage below.
Just as Luo Chen and Shao Siming flew out of the tunnel, a rumbling sound came from inside the tunnel.
After seeing this, Luo Chen slowly said to Shao Siming:
"Now that Zhao Gao has been dealt with, our next step is to deal with those traitors!"
After Luo Chen finished speaking to Shao Siming, the two of them vanished from the spot in a flash.
""
When Luo Chen and Shao Siming returned to the palace, Luo Chen gathered all the women together. When Luo Chen saw Gao Yue and Duanmu Rong, he slowly walked forward:
"Rong'er, Yue'er, how much do you know about the Mo family's mechanical city?"
After hearing Luo Chen's words, Duanmu Rong slowly began to recall, and said to Luo Chen:
"The Mo family's mechanical city is built against the mountains, and a large amount of food and fodder are stored in the mechanical city. Even if we don't go out to support the disciples in the mechanical city, it can probably last for more than ten years."
"If we're talking about a direct assault, I suggest we avoid this route as much as possible, because the Mo family's mechanical city is full of traps, and one wrong step could mean our utter destruction."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but start to think.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Luo Chen's mind, and he said with a smile:
"We can go find Gongshu Chou, the Mo family's sworn enemy!"
