Chapter 752 Cheng Hongling’s Escape Path (1)
Cheng Hongling dazedly opened her beautiful eyes, and what greeted her sight was an unfamiliar room, silent like death.
After a moment of daze, Cheng Hongling realized her situation, so she quickly reached out her jade hand and touched the clothes on her body. After confirming that nothing had happened, her figure instantly disappeared from where she was and rushed towards the door.
The reason Cheng Hongling was so decisive was that she knew Qi Huang’s current predicament. She was already on the verge of a cliff. If she were delayed again to save herself, it would truly be hopeless.
“Crackle!”
Cheng Hongling’s spiritual sense easily crushed the door, and she also shot out like lightning. What came into view was a spacious cave.
This house was built in a cave?
A look of surprise appeared on Cheng Hongling’s face, but her attention was quickly drawn to the spiritual sense shield on the inner wall of the cave. This was clearly a trap set by the other party to prevent her from escaping.
Cheng Hongling immediately used her spiritual sense to attack, but she did not expect the spiritual sense shield to be exceptionally powerful, making her feel as if she were a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely unable to shake it even slightly.
Cheng Hongling thought carefully, then began to use her killing intent to attack. This thing was the nemesis of spiritual sense and could definitely overcome stronger opponents.
The killing intent in Cheng Hongling’s body surged out, attacking the spiritual sense shield without reservation.
“Boom!”
The spiritual sense shield did indeed fluctuate visibly, but that was all.
This spiritual sense shield definitely had the strength of the Heavenly Punishment Realm.
Cheng Hongling’s heart turned cold, because she knew that she would never be able to break through the spiritual confinement of the Heavenly Punishment Realm.
The guards were alerted, so they turned around and looked inside.
She’s awake, I’ll go inform the Cult Leader!
A disciple said this and hurried away.
Cult Leader?
Hearing this, Cheng Hongling became more anxious. Since it was the Cult Leader, his strength must be very strong. He might be the man who captured her, so she absolutely could not afford to delay any longer.
But what other more powerful magic treasures do I have on me?
Cheng Hongling fell into thought. After a moment, her beautiful eyes lit up. She remembered the shriveled “heart” fragment that Qi Huang had given her. She obtained that thing when she destroyed the zombie queen spider in the Tencel Valley Treasure Land, and it could withstand the spiritual sense attack of the late Heavenly Punishment Realm.
With this thing, coupled with her killing intent, she should be able to pierce through this spiritual sense shield.
Cheng Hongling calculated this way, and her killing intent surged towards the spiritual sense shield at the cave entrance without reservation. At the same time, she used her spiritual sense to control the “heart” fragment and fiercely rammed it towards the same spot.
Boom!
Under the impact of the killing intent, the spiritual sense shield of the Heavenly Punishment Realm fluctuated again, and the “heart” fragment immediately struck it.
Crackle!
The “heart” fragment did not fail its mission. It actually forcefully pierced a hole in the spiritual sense shield.
Cheng Hongling was overjoyed, and she flashed out of the hole like lightning.
Stop!
The few guards by the cave entrance were greatly alarmed and immediately rushed out to block her.
Cheng Hongling didn’t even look. Under the control of her spiritual sense, the “heart” fragment acted like a flying knife, accurately slitting the throats of the guards.
Cheng Hongling rushed outside and found that the surroundings were actually a larger cave. The inner walls were covered with dense caves, and she didn’t know which one was the passage to the outside world.
Cheng Hongling opened her spiritual sense, preparing to find a way out, but at this moment, a strong figure approached at high speed. The speed was so fast that it was comparable to her performing the Wave Butterfly body technique with all her might.
Cheng Hongling dared not be distracted. She controlled the heart fragment with her spiritual sense and shot it towards the opponent.
“Whoosh!”
The heart fragment tore through the air, making a piercing whistling sound. Its surface even sparked bright flames due to friction.
“Break for me!”
The man roared, raising the large saber in his hand and slashing at the heart fragment.
“Clang!”
The two collided violently. The expected head-on collision did not happen. The heart fragment was incredibly hard. It actually easily sliced off the heavy saber and then pierced towards the man behind it.
The man’s face showed surprise, but he was indeed formidable. At the last moment, he dodged this fatal blow by tilting his head, then threw the short knife in his hand at Cheng Hongling.
The man’s physical strength was extraordinary. The speed of the broken saber was almost the same as the heart fragment, carrying a strong airflow, sweeping up the dust on the ground.
As a cultivator, Cheng Hongling naturally could not take the blow head-on. She displayed the Wave Butterfly body technique and skillfully avoided the attack.
“Boom!”
The terrifying great saber brushed past Cheng Hongling’s body, then plunged into the cave wall. The powerful force directly smashed a large area of stones, forming a huge hole.
Cheng Hongling did not have the confidence to defeat the opponent. She retrieved the heart fragment and, while illuminating a few caves, darted away.
Just randomly picked a cave and darted in.
“Stop!”
The man roared and chased after her in a rage, his killing intent surging towards Cheng Hongling like a flood.
Cheng Hongling was unmoved and let the killing intent sweep over her body. She had always had a high resistance to this thing, and coupled with the fact that her Spirit Soul was left at home, she was completely immune.
The man’s body instantly turned red, his muscles rapidly swelled, and he charged forward like a wild bull, relentlessly pursuing Cheng Hongling. The stone walls on both sides were as fragile as paper. Wherever he went, tunnels collapsed one after another.
Unfortunately, although he was fast, he was ultimately running on two legs and could not catch up to Cheng Hongling in a short period.
Cheng Hongling breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she have time to scan the surroundings with her spiritual sense. At this moment, she realized that she was in a huge underground labyrinth.
This labyrinth was near the surface, with an open-pit mine about ten miles in diameter. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, but the dense mine shafts on the surrounding stone walls were still well preserved. They extended to the left and right and downwards, branching out in the middle and extending into more and smaller tunnels or caves. They crisscrossed and were accessible in all directions, covering an area of hundreds of miles like a spider web, making one’s eyes blur.
If an ordinary person were in such a labyrinth, they might not be able to get out even if they lived to old age!
As a cultivator, Cheng Hongling naturally wouldn’t get lost with the help of her spiritual sense. However, the problem was that she was currently in the lowest level of the caves. From here to the surface, the guards were strict, with sentries every five steps and watch posts every ten steps, and there were countless mechanisms. It was not easy to get out.
However, Cheng Hongling did not resign herself to fate and continued to move forward towards the exit.
fate, she still rushed upwards without hesitation. She knew that she had to go back, otherwise what would happen to Qi Huang? As for her own life safety… she didn’t consider it at all.
Cheng Hongling’s goal was clear, so she didn’t get entangled when encountering obstacles, because most of the sentries were weaker than her, and those who could barely threaten her could not catch up, so they didn’t cause too much trouble. The only thing to be careful about was the dense mechanisms. However, with the “heart” fragment in her hand clearing the way, it was still relatively smooth.
The middle-aged man behind her became increasingly anxious. As he chased, he took out the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device and ordered the sentries at various locations to activate the mechanisms.
“Sentries on the thirteenth underground level, quickly activate the Kan position mechanism! Quickly activate the Kan position mechanism!”
The middle-aged man roared.
“Mechanism?”
Cheng Hongling became vigilant when she heard this, because most of the mechanisms were in operation and only started when ordered by the man behind her, so they were naturally not simple.
Cheng Hongling entered the thirteenth underground level and reached the Kan position when she suddenly discovered a strange green mist spreading from the tunnel ahead, accompanied by a pungent odor.
“Hehe, running away? Let’s see where you run. This is a potent poison. Touching it means death and injury.”
The middle-aged man who followed behind mocked triumphantly.
“Poison?”
Cheng Hongling slightly raised the corners of her rosy lips. She circulated her Water True Qi to form a shield to cover her entire body, then rushed directly into the poisonous gas. Ever since she cultivated Shui Linglong, she had been immune to all poisons.
“Uh…”
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded, and a look of worry immediately appeared on his face. This girl was ordered by the Cult Leader to be watched carefully. If she were forced to death, how would he explain it to the Cult Leader?
