Chapter 5705 Lonely and brave
Looking at the road covered with black mist in front of him, Zhang Yifeng took a resolute step and walked into the darkness alone.
When Xuanyuan and Li left, they wanted to leave a lamp for him, but Zhang Yifeng did not agree.
If he had left the lamp behind, his plan to stay alone and explore the road behind this gate would probably be declared a failure.
The reason why Zhang Yifeng wanted to separate from Xuanyuan Li was entirely because of a guess in his heart.
Speculations about this trial left by Immortal Emperor Taiwu.
After this period of observation, it was not difficult for Zhang Yifeng to discover some characteristics of Immortal Emperor Taiwu.
He doesn't seem to trust anyone very much, and even the people who choose to guard the inheritance are mostly vicious people.
It can be said that these people are all chess pieces of Immortal Emperor Taiwu, just at his mercy.
But all this was not because of Immortal Taiwu's bad taste, but rather because he wanted to select his ideal successor more carefully.
Facing such a cautious person, Zhang Yifeng felt that the other party would not leave two stone gates here for no reason.
It also allows people to see at a glance which road behind the two stone gates is safer.
Of course, Zhang Yifeng did not let Xuanyuan and the others go there because he felt that the other stone gate was actually more dangerous.
Their guess was not wrong, the path Zhang Yifeng chose was even more dangerous.
But would Immortal Emperor Taiwu really choose someone who likes to take shortcuts and avoid danger to become his successor?
With this conjecture, Zhang Yifeng finally chose to embark on this dangerous road alone.
Xuanyuan and the others only accompanied him to obtain the inheritance. There was no need for Zhang Yifeng to drag them into dangerous situations.
After the brainstorming, Zhang Yifeng took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the road ahead.
On this road filled with black mist, Zhang Yifeng could clearly see the environment within ten meters around him.
There seems to be a narrow path behind this stone gate, and I don't know where it leads.
After walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yifeng suddenly stopped and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
In the dark fog that could not be seen clearly in front of him, there was a faint sense of crisis.
It seemed that if he stepped into it rashly, he would be killed.
Just when Zhang Yifeng was thinking about how to decide his next move, he suddenly felt that the air around him had solidified.
The black fog surrounding him gradually dissipated, and Zhang Yifeng looked in all directions.
He saw that the narrow passage he was in was actually a corridor.
In the dispelled fog in front of him, stood a strange monster with a thin body and colorful scales.
The monster was hidden in the black mist, its eyes staring intently at him.
However, this monster seemed to be stopped in place by some force. Even if the black mist covering its figure dissipated, it still kept staring at Zhang Yifeng.
Zhang Yifeng, who noticed something was wrong, frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "I wonder which senior made the move, why don't you want to show up to see me?"
The moment his suspicious voice fell, the black mist that had dissipated suddenly appeared in front of him, slowly condensing into a human shape.
This person's whole body was made of black mist, and his eyes were locked on Zhang Yifeng's body at this moment, looking at him.
"I remember you, but I never thought you were already here."
"Now I can give you a chance. As long as you join my army, you can be called the Demon King of all the worlds."
As soon as the human figure condensed in the black mist opened his mouth, Zhang Yifeng knew his identity. It was the ancient demon god that he had targeted several times.
Zhang Yifeng did not expect that this guy's power could be revealed in the inheritance place of Immortal Emperor Taiwu.
"Why, are you wondering why my power appears here?"
"Oh, despite what Immortal Emperor Taiwu said, he will never tell you how I was born."
The ancient demon sneered and said in a strange tone.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to continue. No matter what, I will not join you as a demon."
"If you want to take action, you can do it now."
Zhang Yifeng did not listen to the ancient demon lord's thoughts about these secrets and replied in a deep voice.
"Tsk, tsk, this old guy Taiwu seems to have really found a qualified successor."
"If that's the case, then you can die here."
The ancient demon god shook his head, and immediately gathered black mist, about to deliver a fatal blow to Zhang Yifeng.
At the critical moment, he paused, raised his head and glared upward.
"Okay, okay, I don't want to stop even if I die."
"Boy, this is your last chance!"
The ancient demon god said a harsh word, and the black mist condensed around him suddenly overflowed and spread to the surroundings again.
Time that had originally stagnated began to flow again.
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion in Zhang Yifeng's mind.
"Thank you, senior."
Zhang Yifeng groaned in his heart. He knew that the Demon God didn't take action because he didn't want to let him go.
It is estimated that Immortal Emperor Taiwu left some kind of back-up plan in this place of inheritance, so that the Ancient Demon God was threatened when he just wanted to take action, so he gave up the idea of killing him here.
After thinking this, Zhang Yifeng raised his eyes and looked at the space ahead that was once again shrouded in black mist.
Through the previous vision caused by the arrival of the ancient demon god, he clearly saw a stone door behind the monster wearing colorful scales.
But in this narrow space, if you want to pass through the stone gate, you must kill this monster.
Judging from Zhang Yifeng's observations, this monster must be very sensitive.
However, in such a narrow space, Zhang Yifeng can break through as long as its ability to move is restricted.
His eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly an idea flashed in Zhang Yifeng's mind.
With the plan in mind, there was no need to think too much, Zhang Yifeng's fingertips flashed with light and disappeared into the black mist beside him.
After making all preparations, he stepped towards the black mist ahead.
In the black mist, a thin monster wearing colorful scales looked at Zhang Yifeng who was gradually approaching, saliva flowing down the corner of his mouth.
The moment Zhang Yifeng stepped into its attack range, the thin monster suddenly jumped forward and attacked Zhang Yifeng like a phantom.
If there were no precautions, this one attack would be enough to take Zhang Yifeng's life.
Zhang Yifeng, who was just prepared in advance, suddenly flashed a sword light in front of him.
The flying swords easily parried the sudden attack of this thin monster.
"roar!"
Seeing that the attack missed, the monster quickly retreated and disappeared into the darkness again.
Zhang Yifeng, on the other hand, observed his surroundings cautiously and gradually retreated.
It looked like he was afraid of this monster and didn't know where it would attack from.
The thin monster that quickly escaped from the battle was now clinging to the ceiling of the corridor, slowly approaching him.
