After the man broke the stone slab and entered the underground palace, he cleverly used the soil of the herb field to cover the entrance.
The underground palace was dark and damp, with moss growing all over the place. Looking at the cracks in the broken stone slab, the stone fragments were still white and not completely wet. This meant that someone had entered the underground palace just a few days ago at most!
Thinking about it here, Alex was actually not that nervous anymore.
If only someone is to come here again, they would only need to follow in his footsteps. He would be able to sense danger in advance, and that was not something to be afraid of!
The unknown was the most terrifying thing!
Because you don't know when or where danger will come from. You have to be vigilant, and you have to be fully alert!
In order to not alert the enemy, Alex put away the bead. Since there was only one way to enter this underground palace, even if he is blind, he wouldn't make a mistake!
Alex walked quickly along the only path in the underground palace. Alex followed the footprints left behind by the previous person and walked away unhindered; there were no dangers at all. And even if there was a real danger, that person should have already dealt with it.
After walking forward for another hundred meters, Alex suddenly felt that his feet were sticky, as if he had stepped on something. Lowering his head, he saw the corpses of quite a few black ants on the ground. Green blood seemed to flow like a river. These black ants were about the size of an adult's fist. They were soaked in green blood and looked extremely disgusting.
Alex squatted and carefully sized up these black ants. They were all cut in half from the waist and the cut was smooth and flat. Without a doubt, they were all killed by blade-like weapons!
Alex walked to the side of the wall and discovered that there were a few ant corpses lying on top of each other.
As he continued forward, he saw a row of footprints on the ground. These footprints were quite large, and they weren't stepped on very hard.
Alex frowned. Based on these things, he had already judged that it was about seventy to eighty percent. A series of scenes suddenly appeared in his mind.
A man holding a sword casually walked through the underground palace, casually killing all of the bats attacking him. The footprints were shallow, indicating that the man had not tried his best as he strolled leisurely. Otherwise, the footprints should be very deep!
"Looks like I've met an opponent this time." Alex was deep in thought.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a tiny explosion sound suddenly came from the end of the underground palace. The sound was very weak, but Alex was able to hear it.
"There's a battle going on ahead!" Alex's eyes lit up, and his figure flashed as he quickly flew away.
Sure enough, the closer they got, the clearer the sound became. The ear-piercing sounds of explosions, the hissing of demonic beasts, the clashing of metal, and the shaking of the underground palace all interweaved into one.
After turning the corner, the road ahead suddenly opened up.
In the vast and lofty great hall, there were all sorts of bronze statues and majestic domes. There were even several dozen bronze pillars standing there, supporting the ancient bronze hall from the ground!
There was no door to the ancient bronze palace. Looking up, one could see two figures fighting with each other in the great hall several hundred meters away.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The battle was extremely intense. Dense spirit energy spread everywhere and the majestic power that was pressing down on the world's essence energy made 'chi chi chi' sounds.
"Two of them?"
Alex frowned. He thought there was only one person, but it turned out to be two.
Of the two figures, one of them was a young man with a sword in his hand. His battle style was tyrannical, his chops were rolling like thunder and sword qi was blotting out the sky. In his hand, the long sword intertwined into a ring of the pure blue electric net, making a crackling sound. It enveloped the other figure, making it impossible for him to escape.
Although this sword-wielding youth seemed to have the upper hand, in reality, he was not able to suppress his opponent.
The other shadow's speed was too fast, so one could not see where he was going to attack. All they could see was him using his power and speed to continuously attack the blue electric net. The violent force was like a torrential river, tearing the electric net apart.
"What a strong body!"
Seeing that, Alex could not help but be surprised.
The shadow didn't seem to know what fatigue was. All it could see was his constant explosive attacks. Not only was he not tired from the physical exertion, but he also seemed to become braver from the battle!
"Chi!"
The sword-wielding young man was careless and a piece of flesh was torn from his chest. It was an appalling sight.
Alex didn't have any intention of hiding his figure, he just stood at the entrance of the Ancient Bronze Palace with a swagger, at the same time calculating the strength of the two.
The sword-wielding youth's battle prowess was terrifying. To him, it was nothing difficult. Alex was unable to see through the other shadow's true strength. He was like an indefatigable killing machine, attacking everything in front of him in the simplest and crudest way. If he was also a cultivator who focused on training the body, then dealing with him would be a little difficult.
The young man with the sword was struck several times as his body was torn off, and his clothes were soaked in blood.
In a panic, the sword-wielding youth tried to retreat but at the same time, he shouted, "Friend, come and help me!"
Alex didn't move from his place. He just looked at the sword-wielding young man. There was nothing interesting about him other than his talent in sword way and his comprehension of Sword Intent.
"Cough! Cough!"
The sword-wielding sword young man coughed out a mouthful of blood, he did not bother to wipe his mouth and fought as he retreated. Then he again shouted for help: "Friend, please come and help me!"
Alex still didn't take any action. He just crossed his arms and smiled as he watched.
The sword-wielding young man was clearly becoming impatient. He appeared unstable several times and his moves also became unstable. Within ten seconds, he had been hit several times, causing him to cry out in pain.
The sword-wielding youth's electric net had already been torn apart by the black shadow. The black shadow roared and attacked even faster. He shouted out many times for help, but Alex remained unmoved.
The sword-wielding young man saw that Alex did not have any intentions of helping, his face was twisted. An agonizing look appeared on his face, for his heart was now filled with despair and anxiety.
After five minutes of the rough fight, the sword-wielding youth felt as if all his strength had been sucked out of him. His entire body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
Alex's expression changed at this moment, he quickly understood that something was amiss. No matter how strong the black figure was, it was impossible for it to not feel tired, right? But from the moment he entered until now, that black shadow seemed to possess endless physical strength.
Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see that after such a long battle, the sword-wielding youth was already powerless to wield his sword. Only the black shadow was still repeatedly attacking. With the terrifying speed that he displayed, even a Martial King or Martial Emperor would not be able to sustain this speed.
"Howl!"
The black shadow let out an indistinct roar and suddenly leaped up, raising its two sharp claws and grabbing towards the sword holding youth's head.
The sword-wielding young man was riddled with wounds, as if he had already resigned himself to fate. His eyes were filled with intense despair, mixed with regret and unwillingness.
It was at this moment Alex suddenly made his move. His figure flashed and rushed forward like lightning.
This sword-wielding youth must have known some secret to be able to come to this place. After all, even after a hundred thousand years, no one was able to come here, but this sword-wielding was able to come here. The point to take note of was that he didn't have the bead that could direct him to the location as Alex did.
It means, he must have something else to rely on to be able to come here. And this place might have some sort of secret hidden. Thus, Alex decided not to let that youth die just like that!
