Chapter 21

The emotions of the Ning family cultivators began to become chaotic.

"Shut up, all of you!" Ning Zhanji shouted decisively, "If it were really Zheng Shuanggou who wanted to be unfavorable to us, we couldn't possibly escape here."

"But this possibility is too small. If they really wanted to take action, why harm us? To alert the enemy?"

"We wouldn't be the first choice for a strike!"

Ning Zhanji stabilized his emotions slightly, and saw a figure holding double hooks, directly breaking through countless demon beasts and killing toward one of the passages.

"It's Zheng Shuanggou!"

"I saw his signature weapon, the Sun-Moon Hooks."

"Phew, he is not here to deal with us!"

The hearts of the Ning family cultivators, which had just been put down, were lifted up again the next moment.

Because the intensity of the demon beast charge soared, and the defensive pressure of the array increased sharply. Ning Zhanji had to order his subordinates to form small teams of a few people and kill outside the array to relieve the pressure on the array.

After all, it was an array laid out in a hurry and was not reliable.

The demon beasts were fierce!

Even though the Ning family cultivators fought to the death, the first ice wall was quickly broken.

The second spherical cover did not last long either.

Fortunately, the Ning family cultivators took the opportunity to set up the fourth array.

Everyone huddled in the light pillar, struggling to hold on.

Ning Yong's face was pale, his body trembling: "C-could it be that we are going to die here today?"

Ning Chen was no longer calm, his face full of panic, losing his head.

Unlike Ning Zhuo also showed a similar expression, but faint ghostly light rippled in the depths of his eyes.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, three loud noises shook the earth.

The demon beasts fled madly, and a black figure directly crashed through the wall and rushed into the underground square.

Subsequently, the Zheng family's Golden Core cultivator Zheng Shuanggou also chased over.

"Rat, how dare you covet the Xian Gong, leave your life behind!" Zheng Shuanggou roared.

Zheng Shuanggou swept across with all his strength, shooting out a five-meter-long blade aura.

The black figure's voice was old, laughing wildly: "The treasures of the cultivation world are for those who have affinity. You big clans of Fire Persimmon Immortal City want to swallow the Lava Xian Gong privately? Dream on!"

Saying this, the black figure fought hard, dispersed the blade aura, and took the opportunity to borrow force to fly backward toward the Ning family cultivators.

Ning Zhanji's alarm bells rang wildly in his heart for a moment, and he hid in the center of the array, shouting loudly: "I will preside over the grand array!"

The defensive magic array shot out unprecedented brilliance.

The black figure arrived in front of the magic array, waved his hand lightly, and instantly defeated the magic array.

With another wave of his hand, a large group of cultivators fell, their physical bodies unharmed, but they had lost their lives.

"Demon cultivator, still rampant!" Zheng Shuanggou was furious and rushed to kill.

The black-shadow demon cultivator turned around and fought a great battle with Zheng Shuanggou.

"Lord Ning Zhanji!" The Ning family cultivators shouted.

But Ning Zhanji's eyes were wide open, and he fell to the ground, dying with eyes wide open.

Losing the protection of the array and the leader, the subsequent demon beasts continued to pounce and kill, and the Ning family cultivators could only flee in all directions!

Casualties expanded rapidly.

At the critical moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly shouted: "Go through the passage where the Golden Core cultivator rushed over, the demon beasts there must be the fewest!!"

Hearing the reminder, the Ning family cultivators, who had lost their heads, were all jolted.

"That's right!"

"In that passage, it was clashed through twice by two Golden Cores, the demon beasts must be the fewest."

"Go that way!!"

Thus, the Ning family crowd twisted into a rope again and killed toward the passage entrance.

"Ning Yong, Ning Chen, follow me closely!" Unlike Ning Zhuo opened his chest and took out stacks of frost talismans, scattering them everywhere. These were all accumulated from his talisman making in the school, and had long been prepared.

Ning Yong and Ning Chen both had red eyes, and in their panic, they subconsciously followed behind Unlike Ning Zhuo, fighting with all their might to strive for a possibility of survival.

The three supported each other and "dangerously" caught up with the Ning family's main force, entering the passage entrance.

Looking back, the two Golden Cores were fighting with great momentum, scaring the demon beasts into fleeing everywhere.

Many demon beasts fled in the same direction as the Ning family crowd, pouncing from behind them.

There were demon beast corpses in front of the passage, and very few survived, but demon beasts were continuously pouring in from behind.

Under this pressure, the Ning family cultivators could only bite the bullet and run wildly toward the front along the passage.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Along the way, they encountered some blocking demon beasts, all of which were fully bombarded and killed by the Ning family cultivators who were fleeing for their lives.

"That is?!"

"Lava Xian Gong!"

"I didn't expect this passage to also lead to the Lava Xian Gong."

The Ning family cultivators discovered a magma lake, and a corner of the Xian Gong was exposed in the lake.

"Lava Xian Gong..." Unlike Ning Zhuo whispered, his expression quite natural. As an ordinary youth, seeing the Xian Gong for the first time, his mind was inevitably captured by it. Only, no one saw the glimmer of light that flashed in the depths of his eyes!

In fact, he had long expected this result.

Ning Chen on the side was panting, reacting and shouting: "This is actually not hard to guess!"

"Didn't the words spoken by the two Golden Cores when they were fighting just reveal the answer?"

"It's very likely that the black-shadow demon cultivator wanted to sneak in this way, but was intercepted by Zheng Shuanggou!"

The situation of the Ning family cultivators was very awkward.

In front was the magma lake, with a corner of the Xian Gong building exposed, and behind were demon beasts continuously pouring in.

Forced by helplessness, the Ning family remnants could only form an array to defend again.

They formed two arrays, one outside and one inside, nested within each other. The intensity of the demon beast pouncing was much weaker than at the underground square.

"We can block them!!" The Ning family cultivators had just rejoiced when a violent roaring explosion followed.

"Where are you going?!" Zheng Shuanggou's roar grew closer and closer.

The Ning family cultivators were suddenly like falling into an ice cellar; listening to this movement, it was very clear that the black-shadow demon cultivator had killed his way back!

"It seems that today, we are dead for sure!" Ning Yong's face was pale.

Ning Chen simply closed his eyes, completely desperate.

Having just ignited the hope of survival, only to be ruthlessly crushed again, after such great ups and downs, the two newcomer cultivators lost all fighting spirit.

"Die then! So what?" Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly shouted, "Dying in battle like this is better than dying like a coward!"

Provoked like this, Ning Yong changed his face, ignited courage in the desperate situation, and stood up gritting his teeth.

Ning Chen opened his eyes and looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo, secretly admiring this classmate's bravery before death.

He was also provoked into courage: "Ah Zhuo, well said! Being able to die under a Golden Core, dying in front of the Lava Xian Gong, can be considered dying in the right place."

As soon as he finished speaking, vast thick smoke rushed over. The thick smoke was pitch black, containing surging dark energy, which could block spiritual sense sensing.

In the blink of an eye, dark shadows moved in the black smoke, condensing into countless dark shadow snakes and pythons, crashing toward the Lava Xian Gong in the magma lake.

But only halfway through the crash, the terrifying giant snakes and pythons dissipated powerlessly one after another.

Zheng Shuanggou's roar came: "Attacking the Xian Gong? Don't even think about it!!"

But immediately after, snakes and pythons were generated again, but this time they did not attack the Xian Gong, but directly attacked the surrounding passages.

Under such wild attacks, the cave walls of the passages were suddenly full of cracks and about to collapse.

"Madman!" Seeing this scene, Zheng Shuanggou also felt cold in his heart.

He had no choice but to turn attack into defense, using all his strength, surging magic power, covering the passages to protect them.

In the black smoke, a dark shadow long snake suddenly crashed into the Ning family array.

Without any accident, the Golden Core level attack was not something the Ning family array could withstand, and it fell apart in an instant!

The black smoke poured in overwhelmingly, and the vision of the Ning family remnants was completely covered.

"Come on!" Ning Yong shouted, exploding with all his courage, determined to fight to the death.

Rolling black smoke, one could not see one's fingers.

Unlike Ning Zhuo seemed to have become alone in an instant.

He took out the token and transformed into the Cang Iron Han Armor. The iron armor covered his body, immediately giving him Foundation Establishment combat power!
