Chapter 137: Underground

Holding a Zen staff in his hand, a cold smile on his face.

"Master, what is... in this basement?" Tang Yun asked, trying to remain calm.

Huikong laughed sinisterly twice, and the Zen staff hit the ground heavily, making a muffled "thud" sound. "Benefactor's curiosity is a bit too heavy."

Tang Yun narrowed his eyes; this old monk was like two different people, the previous kindness and benevolence had vanished, replaced by a cold killing intent.

The live stream room exploded, "Holy crap, this old monk's face changes faster than turning a book!" "Cloud God, be careful, this old monk is not a good thing!"

"Master, I was just taking a look, why be so nervous?"

Tang Yun said with his mouth, but secretly mobilized the Chaos Medical Qi and crystal power, preparing to deal with emergencies at any time.

"Just taking a look? This basement is the forbidden area of this temple, how can outsiders pry at will!" Huikong's tone was cold, and the Zen staff in his hand faintly emitted golden light.

"Forbidden area? Is there something shameful hidden inside?"

Tang Yun provoked; he knew that this old monk would not let him go easily tonight.

Huikong didn't answer, just laughed coldly, the Zen staff swung out fiercely, heading straight for Tang Yun's face. Tang Yun dodged to the side, the Zen staff grazing his cheek with a gust of wind, causing pain.

"Good guy, this old monk really plays for keeps!" Tang Yun cursed secretly, no longer hesitating, Chaos Medical Qi erupted instantly, forming a shield with golden light, blocking Huikong's attack.

Huikong obviously didn't expect Tang Yun's strength to be so formidable, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but then he became even more ferocious. He chanted words in his mouth, the Zen staff shone with golden light, its power even greater than before.

"Courtesy demands reciprocity, old bald donkey, take this!" Tang Yun didn't show weakness either, Chaos Medical Qi and crystal power fused, turning into a sharp sword qi, stabbing straight at Huikong's chest.

Huikong brandished the Zen staff to block, the sword qi collided with the Zen staff, making a harsh metal clashing sound, sparks flying everywhere.

The two went back and forth, fighting into a group. In the courtyard of the temple, the wind whistled and dust flew.

"Holy crap, this special effect, awesome!" "Cloud God, come on, beat this old bald donkey!"

The viewers in the live stream room were excited, cheering for Tang Yun one after another.

Tang Yun fought more and more bravely; he discovered that although Huikong's strength was formidable, his moves were slightly stiff, with flaws everywhere.

He seized the opportunity, Chaos Medical Qi turned into countless fine needles, shooting toward Huikong's acupuncture points.

Huikong was caught off guard and was pierced by several fine needles, his movements suddenly stalling.

Tang Yun took the opportunity to lean forward and slapped Huikong's chest.

"Puff!" Huikong spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, falling heavily to the ground.

"Old bald donkey, do you still want to fight?" Tang Yun stood before Huikong and asked looking down.

Huikong struggled to climb up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Tang Yun with venomous eyes: "Kid, you... who on earth are you?"

"I'm just a passing traveler," Tang Yun said indifferently. "However, I am very interested in the things in this basement."

Huikong's face changed, seemingly thinking of something, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. "You... you can't go in, that place... that place is..."

"What is it?" Tang Yun pressed step by step.

Huikong's face was pale, his lips trembling, but he never said that secret. He suddenly grabbed the Zen staff on the ground and stabbed it fiercely into his own abdomen.

"Old bald donkey, what are you doing!" Tang Yun was startled and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The Zen staff pierced Huikong's abdomen, and blood gushed out.

Huikong's body slowly fell, his eyes gradually dissipating. Before he died, he used his last bit of strength and said in a low voice: "You will... regret it..."

Tang Yun looked at Huikong's corpse, his heart filled with confusion.

Why did this old monk commit suicide? What secret was hidden in the basement? He walked to the iron door, took a deep breath, and prepared to open this door leading to the unknown...

Tang Yun reached out and pushed the iron door, but it didn't move at all. Obviously, this door was locked. He looked around, wanting to find the key, but found nothing. In the live stream room, the viewers also offered advice one after another.

"Cloud God, try it with your Chaos Medical Qi!"

"Break the door by force, this broken door can't stop you!"

"The old monk must have the key on him, search him!"

Tang Yun looked at the barrage, feeling that searching the body was not very appropriate, after all, the old monk had just died, doing so was a bit disrespectful.

He decided to try Chaos Medical Qi first. He placed his hand on the iron door, Chaos Medical Qi slowly injected, the iron door made a slight buzzing sound, but still didn't open.

"It seems this lock is not simple."

Tang Yun frowned, preparing to try breaking the door by force.

Suddenly, he felt a strange energy fluctuation coming from the basement. This energy fluctuation resonated with the crystal power in his body.

"Could it be..." Tang Yun's heart moved, and he immediately injected the crystal power into the iron door as well.

Buzz!

The iron door vibrated even more violently, and a crisp "click" sound came from the keyhole, and the door opened.

A cold aura surged out from the basement, and Tang Yun shivered.

He walked in cautiously, finding it pitch black inside, one couldn't see their fingers.

"Holy crap, this basement is too gloomy!"

"Cloud God, be careful, there might be some danger inside!"

"Hurry up and turn on the light, Cloud God!"

Tang Yun also felt a bit creepy, he turned on the flashlight of his phone, and the faint light illuminated a corner of the basement.

He saw many shelves in the basement, with some bottles and jars on the shelves, containing unknown liquids. A pungent medicinal smell permeated the air.

"What is this place? Alchemy room?" Tang Yun was puzzled and continued to walk inside.

Suddenly, he felt empty under his feet, and the whole person fell down.

"Ah!" Tang Yun exclaimed, his body falling rapidly.

"Cloud God!"

"Holy crap, what happened!"

"Cloud God fell down!"

The live stream room exploded instantly.

Tang Yun fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

He struggled to climb up and found himself in a larger underground space.

This space was much larger than the basement above, and even more gloomy and terrifying. Some eerie runes were carved on the walls, emitting a faint red light.

"This... what is this place?" Tang Yun was horrified, feeling as if he had come to hell.

Just then, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind him.

He turned his head abruptly, only to see a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him fixedly in the darkness.

Tang Yun's hair stood on end, his heart beating wildly. These eyes were filled with malice, making him feel danger instinctively.

He clenched his fists, the inheritance power in his body began to surge, golden light flickering on him, illuminating a small area around him. ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
