The deciduous forest is now a mess, with blazing fires jumping on the sparse branches.
Many monsters roared angrily, constantly fighting against the flames, trying to save their homes.
Deep in the deciduous forest, a huge hole was exposed.
But surprisingly, there was not a single monster nearby.
This cave is the same cave that Zhao Long pulled the old man into before.
At this time, the two of them were constantly exploring the cave, looking for precious things.
The old man followed Zhao Long with his head lowered and sighed helplessly.
"Zhao Long, how many more roads do we have to take? We have already tried more than ten!"
Come on, since the Fire Yuan Pearl is placed here, it means that the entire underground cave must be accessible.
"The owner of the cave must have set up a path to get to his cave."
Zhao Long, who was walking in front, took the trouble to explain and continued to explore.
He found that his previous belief that all paths could lead to the place where they had fallen was wrong.
In this underground cave, there are only two paths that can lead back to the place where they fell.
The other alleys are dead ends and were deliberately set up by the original owner to hide from others.
Zhao Long remembered that when he first arrived at this cave, he was not underground.
But it is within the hill on the ground. This also means that there must be a road leading to the ground.
Otherwise, how did the owner of the cave get to the place where the Fire Origin Pearl was placed from the ground?
But so far, they have tried more than a dozen times, and all have failed.
Twice of them, I returned to the place where I first fell, and all the others hit a dead end.
And there are a total of twenty or thirty paths here. If you try this,
I'm afraid the flame beasts and snow leopards outside have long been in trouble, and finding the way is indeed very boring.
Coupled with the fact that he had no idea what he was looking for, it was no wonder that the old man felt impatient.
After failing again, Zhao Long and the old man returned to the place where the Fire Orb was placed.
Just when Zhao Long had just chosen a path and was about to try again, the old man suddenly stopped.
"Zhao Long, this is not an option. Why don't you continue trying first, and I'll go outside to see how the Flame Beast and Snow Leopard are doing?"
"I see that you are very worried about the safety of Xiaoxi and the others, and you are a little impatient, right?"
Hearing Zhao Long's words, the old man blushed and nodded sheepishly.
However, he was also calm and said directly: "Yes, there are still so many ways to go."
We simply don’t have time to try them all!
Maybe by the time we finish trying, "The Flame Beast and Snow Leopard have already destroyed Luoye Town!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Zhao Long did not answer, but looked at the old man with a smile.
This made the old man confused, but he still replied: "Of course I will go back to block the attacks of the Salamander and Snow Leopard."
"Find a way to save the lives of Luoye Town and everyone!" "Then can you stop it?" Zhao Long suddenly asked.
These words made the old man stunned. He was silent for a long time, lowered his head, and smiled bitterly.
"I can't stop it, but what can I do? It's better than running around in circles now, right?"
"Do you really think we are doing meaningless things now?" Zhao Long asked with a slight frown.
The old man nodded calmly: "Yes, I really don't think it makes any sense for us to keep going around in circles here!"
"I remember I told you before, we are going to find a treasure, right?" Zhao Long recalled, holding his chin.
"Yes, but you won't tell me what it is. Can't you do it without that thing?"
The old man felt helpless. He thought Zhao Long was wasting his time by doing this.
Seeing the confusion and impatience on the old man's face, Zhao Long sighed.
He knew that if he kept hiding it, the old man might go back directly.
Moreover, there are several formations inside the cave, and without the old man's strength, he would not be able to open them at all.
If this old man leaves, I'm afraid he won't be able to acquire that sword skill.
"In this case, let me tell you, we are here to find a sword skill!"
Zhao Long sighed and confessed directly.
"Sword skills?" This made the old man's eyes light up. It is impossible for any swordsman to not have the slightest feeling for sword skills.
Zhao Long nodded: "You also know that this cave was left by a certain senior master, right?"
There is a sword skill hidden in it, "It's called Sword Breaking the Nine Heavens! It's an advanced sword skill at the imperial level!"
"The sword breaks the sky?" The old man was stunned, and his eyes instantly became hot. Just hearing this name made his blood boil.
Moreover, it is an advanced sword skill at the imperial level. For him who does not have the sword skill at the imperial level, this is such a big temptation!
Seeing the expression on the old man's face, Zhao Long immediately guessed what he was thinking.
Then he continued: As long as we learn this sword skill, it will be possible to destroy the Salamander and Snow Leopard!"
"Wait a minute, you just said that Sword Breaking the Nine Heavens is an advanced sword skill at the imperial level?"
This old man was worthy of being the King of Swordsmen. After a brief period of confusion, he quickly came back to his senses and immediately discovered the problem.
Zhao Long nodded and said with a smile: Are you trying to say that my Rain of Swords all over the sky is also an advanced sword skill at the imperial level?
But you can’t destroy the Flame Beast and Snow Leopard, right?”
Although the old man did not speak, his expression completely betrayed his thoughts.
"Although Sword Breaking the Nine Heavens is also an advanced sword skill at the imperial level, it is an extremely special sword skill."
The main reason is that it is different from the knife skills we usually see.
No matter what the attributes of the caster are, when Dao Po Jiuxiao is displayed, it must be the energy of the sword without attributes!
And it can exert maximum power on any attribute. Zhao Long explained in detail.
But what he said made the old man frown: "No attributes?"
"Yes, you and I are both fire attributes. Even though my sword rain is all over the sky, it is also an advanced sword skill at the imperial level."
But the energy knives emitted all have the characteristics of the body's fire attribute.
It has almost no effect on the fire-attributed Flame Beast and Snow Leopard.
But Sword Breaking through the Sky is different. As long as we learn it, we can cause heavy damage to the Flame Beast and Snow Leopard! Even kill them!
Zhao Long's words shocked the old man extremely. He never imagined that such sword skills existed on the mainland.
If he hadn't seen that Zhao Long was only a teenager, the young and old people might have suspected that some super master came to play with him.
With such powerful sword skills here, the old man could no longer calm down and chose a path to walk over.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Long asked hurriedly. "Where else can you go? Find a way quickly!"
You have imperial-level advanced sword skills, but I don’t have them yet? He didn’t care about Zhao Long behind him and walked in quickly.
Looking at Zhao Long behind him, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he immediately followed him.
However, Zhao Long could also understand the old man's eager mood, because he was the same in his previous life.
After constant exploration and attempts, Zhao Long and the old man finally found the right path.
The old man looked at the closed stone door in front of him and laughed excitedly,
Zhao Long was also very happy. After all, his hard work for so long was not in vain.
"Okay, let's push this door open quickly." With that said, the old man stepped forward and pushed the door open.
But no matter how hard he tried, the stone door remained motionless without a single crack.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Long stopped watching from behind.
Instead, he followed up and pushed with the same force. But the door still didn't move at all.
"Damn, why is this door so heavy?"
The old man cursed bitterly. Will he be able to find an advanced emperor-level sword skill soon?
But they were blocked by a broken stone door. Would this make him happy?
"Zhao Long, get out of the way, and I'll use my sword skills to blast open this broken stone door!"
As the old man spoke, he took a few steps back and began to gather the sword energy in his body.
But at this moment, Zhao Long suddenly grabbed the old man: "Wait, don't act rashly."
Even if you use sword skills, you may not be able to open this stone door. There must be a formation on the stone door!
"Formation? Why another formation?" The old man frowned helplessly.
Zhao Long ignored him and kept wandering around Shimen.
How could the cave of a strong swordsman not have a formation?
It's just that his sword awareness is only at the peak level of Sword Emperor, so he can't find it yet.
Although the formation is very mysterious to most people, masters from the Sword Sect and above still know it.
There are only sword sect-level experts here, and the level of the formation should not be too high.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes, if he were the owner of this cave, how would he arrange the formation here?
Zhao Long couldn't help but look at the stone gate in front of him, following the usual method.
Here you should choose to set up a simple strength test formation.
As long as a certain strength is reached, the formation will disappear. This formation is also the simplest.
I just don’t know what requirements this power formation needs to meet. Is it a sword master or a sword king?
If it were the Sword King, it would be quite troublesome. Although Zhao Long's attack power is powerful.
But at most they are only at the Sword Lord level and cannot reach the Sword King level at all, let alone the Sword Emperor.
"Come and use your strongest move to bombard this stone door." After pondering for a while, Zhao Long decided to let the old man try it first.
"What's wrong? Didn't you just tell me not to blast? Why are you going to blast the stone gate with the strongest blow this time?"
The old man was very puzzled and looked at Zhao Long doubtfully.
"I will explain the specific things to you later. Let's get started now. Remember, use your strongest blow!" Zhao Long urged again and again.
The old man patted his chest and laughed: "Don't worry, if you ask me to use my full strength, I will never leave a single point behind! Stay back!"
Then the old man began to quickly gather the energy of the sword, and countless strands of energy began to converge on the high-end heaven-level sword in the old man's hand.
"Drink!" The old man shouted angrily, and then the sword emitted a huge amount of brilliance.
A powerful sword energy flew out from the sword and hit the stone door hard, raising a thick cloud of smoke.
"Boom!" The stone door made a violent muffled sound, echoing continuously in the cave.
"Ahem!" Zhao Long coughed several times as he was choked by the smoke, covered his nose and shook his hand several times.
When the smoke gradually dissipated, Zhao Long and the old man immediately looked over with wide eyes.
The heavy stone door that had troubled them just now was actually blown open, revealing a gap one person wide.
"Zhao Long, we succeeded!" The old man exclaimed excitedly.
A smile flashed across Zhao Long's face. Fortunately, it seemed that a king-level master of swordsmanship could open this door.
If the settings were for Sword King level masters, then they would have to return empty-handed today.
"Let's go, Dao Po Jiuxiao is inside." Zhao Long was also very excited at the thought of learning this sword skill. This chapter has been completed!
