Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

It was like a cannonball smashing into the bottom of the sea.

Countless smoke, dust, and gravel mixed with flowing water surged up.

The entire collapsed cave seemed to be pierced through.

Seeing Ning Yan end up like this, everyone around was shocked.

With his strength at the level of Silk Power and even with the use of spiritual weapons, he was unable to resist.

There is a high possibility that the enemy is at the Hua Jin level.

Even the third realm!

At that moment, everyone had no time to think about it. They immediately alerted themselves and looked at the newcomer with extreme vigilance.

At the bottom of the dark water, a figure approached gracefully.

She is said to be graceful because there is no hindrance or movement when she moves underwater, as if the resistance in the water does not exist at all, as if she herself is part of the water flow. She looks closer to the essence of water than those fish living in the water.

If it were just that, it would be fine. Certain secret techniques can also achieve similar effects.

The problem was that there wasn't a trace of life on her.

She has a very delicate face, her hair is loose but not messy, and she is wearing a lavender corseted long dress, looking like a fairy.

But her eyes were pitch black, extremely cold, lifeless and emotionless.

"Dead skeleton."

This word immediately came to everyone's mind.

After the demise of the Shinra Wanxiang Sect, there were many places in the entire Shinra ruins where strange disasters remained. If explorers went deep into them, they would die on the spot and turn into corpses if they were not careful.

If it were just an ordinary corpse, it would be fine and people wouldn't be too worried.

Only the sect mark on the long skirt made everyone's eyelids twitch.

That’s right, these are the remains left behind by the Shinra Wanxiang Sect.

These undead corpses are often extremely powerful. When they were alive, many of them could rival the Hua Jin. Although they are dead, their fighting instincts still exist, making them extremely difficult to deal with each one.

Not to mention the person in front of me, even his clothes were not damaged at all.

Although her clothes were probably made of special materials, they were not at the level of spiritual weapons. The only reason why they had not been damaged was that no one could rival her during the hundreds of years she had been wandering in the ruins. No one could even damage her clothes.

Just thinking about this, Ji Dinghuang couldn't help but feel his scalp twitching.

How could I be so unlucky to encounter such a disaster? !

"It's a trap!"

He Qianyan said with a gloomy face.

"We were tricked by the Dragonborn!"

Everyone reacted immediately.

Indeed, in this complex underwater environment, let alone one corpse, even if there were ten corpses thrown in, it would not be so easy to encounter them.

Now that they had just come out of the cave, they immediately ran into this horrific corpse. The only explanation was that this cave had been trapped in advance by someone to deliberately lure them in.

"I understand. This should be her cave during her lifetime."

Duan Haishan said in a deep voice:
"If nothing unexpected happens, she should be Lian Huiyi, the law enforcement elder of the Shinra Wanxiang Sect!"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but change their expression.

The preface of the "Xuanshui Mieshenshu" that Duan Haishan asked them to look through just now has the author's explanation, saying that it was Lian Huiyi who was in charge of the duties of the law enforcement elder. This cave under the water was all built by her for her daily practice.

The reason why everyone changed their color was that there were quite a few third-level strong men in the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect, and the one who was able to take on the important responsibility of being the law enforcement elder was undoubtedly one of them.

Even though so much time has passed and her strength has declined significantly, she is definitely not that easy to deal with.

It is very likely that even if they join forces, they will not be able to resist.

But even if I understand this truth, it will be of no use.

After all, the dead have no reason and it is impossible to reason with them.

And even if they could really reason with her... they had just come out of her cave, carrying the treasures they had looted, and even destroyed her cave - maybe if she were still alive she would be even angrier.

Looking at Lian Huiyi with a blank expression on her face, Qi Ruyue and the others felt themselves sweating profusely even though they were clearly underwater.

After inspecting a few people, the other party seemed to have selected his next target and immediately rushed towards Ji Dinghuang.

Seeing the other party rushing towards him like a swordfish, Ji Dinghuang was completely stunned.

why?
Why choose him?

He is obviously neither the strongest nor the weakest, so why was he chosen as the opponent?

Ji Dinghuang wanted to escape, but he knew it was useless. On the contrary, it might give the opponent a chance to defeat him one by one. So he had no choice but to resist.

Fortunately, he is now underwater, which provides some environmental benefits to him as the leader of Liushui Sect.

With a flick of his hand, the surrounding water immediately became violent under the drive of his strength, and transformed into powerful and domineering water arrows, all shooting towards Lian Huiyi.

Under normal circumstances, even if one is at Hua Jin level, one has to be cautious when facing this attack.

However, the other party completely ignored it and rushed forward.

When the water arrows were about to hit him, a scene that shocked Ji Dinghuang appeared.

Just when those water arrows were about to hit the opponent, they turned into invisible water streams and dispersed, as if she was surrounded by a layer of field that caused the water streams to disperse.

how come?
How could this be?
Seeing that Lian Huiyi was about to attack, He Qianyan and others on both sides came to help.

There was a crisp "bang" sound.

As soon as He Qianyan, who was holding the magic sword, came close, he was chopped away by her on the spot with the sword.

Qi Ruyue, who attacked from below, was kicked away by her.

Even Duan Haishan, who faced the enemy head-on, retreated with a red face after exchanging more than ten moves.

Its power is so terrifying that it is simply horrifying.

His physique alone is comparable to that of a spiritual weapon. This guy has clearly practiced some extremely powerful body-refining techniques.

Moreover, without the ability to use physical strength, each of his moves also contained a peculiar rhythm. Even Duan Haishan would find it difficult to block it.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that it’s already several hundred years later.

If they had encountered this law enforcement elder when the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect was just destroyed hundreds of years ago, there would be no chance of survival.

But now, at least the chance of death has been turned into a chance of nine deaths.

After the two sides had a preliminary fight, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the underwater ruins below, followed by a figure suddenly rushing out from it, leaving behind a long stream of dust mixed with gravel and mud.

"Damn it, you dare to sneak attack me?"

Looking at Lian Huiyi not far away, Ning Yan was quite angry.

Think about it, you have just broken through to a new level and it was a good opportunity to show your skills, but as soon as you stepped out of the door, you were ambushed by someone. Fortunately, you were not killed on the spot. How could you not be angry?

In fact, if he had been a little slower in taking out the stone tablet with the word "Yu" on it, his entire upper body might have been blown to pieces on the spot.

But even so, he suffered a lot on the way through the cave.

After all, the material used to build the underwater cave is not ordinary rock, it is incredibly hard.

He could use his broken bones as evidence for this. Thinking of this, he slightly moved the broken bones to restore them to their original state and quickly reconnect them.

Just as he was recovering from his injuries, Ji Dinghuang's reminder came immediately:

"Be careful, this is the owner of the cave, Lian Huiyi."

He quickly told the other party the news.

Ning Yan nodded after hearing this, feeling quite alert.

In fact, long before he knew Lian Huiyi's identity, he knew that this guy was not easy to deal with.

With his current strength and defense, he could be almost killed instantly even from such a long distance. Only a corpse who had once reached the third level could do that.

He had seen a monster of this level once before, during the battle with Guan Ruoyu.

Although Guan Ruoyu successfully killed him in the end, no one knew how much trouble he went through in the process.

And this group of people can't compare with Guan Ruoyu.

Even though she is only at the peak of Silk Strength, everything she has learned is from a great sect, and she also wields the powerful spiritual weapon Dangshan Seal. It is unknown how many people of Transformation Strength have died at her hands. In terms of actual combat power, I am afraid she is not much inferior to those at the peak of Transformation Strength.

In addition, he always felt that the law enforcement elder in front of him was more powerful than the undead he had encountered before.

Things immediately became difficult.

Before she could get an answer, Lian Huiyi rushed forward again.

This time, her target was still... Ji Dinghuang.

"My grass!"

Seeing that Lian Huiyi was chasing after him, Ji Ding's face turned almost green and he ran away like a fish.

The people around were also extremely surprised, and while stepping forward to help, they also talked about it:

"Strange, why is she chasing after Old Ji and beating him?"

"Yeah, obviously Brother Ji is not the strongest, nor the weakest, and his age is in between us, so why did that corpse only go after him?"

"Maybe she liked this part of him? This deceased's husband looked a lot like Old Ji, so she wanted to take him with her after she died?"

"That's not impossible."

……

Everyone was discussing and lending a helping hand.

Fortunately, they were numerous and able to interfere one by one. In addition, as Ji Dinghuang was the leader of Liushui Sect, he was very good at escaping underwater, so he was lucky enough to escape Lian Huiyi's pursuit. However, if he continued like this, as his strength was constantly consumed, he would probably not be able to hold on for long and would still be caught up by the opponent.

In addition, if there are any mistakes along the way, Lian Huiyi will catch up with him in advance.

While Ji Dinghuang was shocked and angry, he was also constantly thinking about the reason why the other party was targeting him.

Young? Average? Handsome?
These reasons all seem possible, but they are too superficial.

There must be some decisive factor!

As soon as he thought of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

The next second, he suddenly took out the small jade axe that was only three inches long.

Sure enough, when the small axe was taken out, the opponent's speed in tracking him increased instantly.

“I found the reason!”

Ji Dinghuang held up the axe and said excitedly:

"Everyone, help me slide!"

As he said that, he threw the axe at Duan Haishan who was the farthest away.

As the axe was thrown out, Lian Huiyi, who was originally chasing Ji Dinghuang at a high speed, suddenly stopped, made a sharp turn underwater, and turned to rush towards Duan Haishan.

Seeing this scene, everyone reacted.

Just as Ji Dinghuang guessed.

Lian Huiyi was not chasing him, but the magic axe on his body.

However, after learning the underlying reasons, the current situation still made everyone feel very difficult.

The reason is quite simple.

Lian Huiyi, as the law enforcement elder of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect, should have originally been at the third level in strength. Even though his strength has dropped a lot now, he is still not someone they can deal with.

Moreover, the opponent's movements underwater were swift and agile, and Ji Dinghuang was barely able to avoid being caught up by her only with the help of multiple people blocking her. This also meant that if a real chase were to unfold, no one present would be able to escape her pursuit.

Now, she has set her eyes on the spiritual axe that originally belonged to her. If she throws it away and tries to lure them away, she will be able to find it back quickly and catch up with them. With the spiritual axe in her hand, her combat power will be even greater, and she will not be able to deal with her.

If they kept the spiritual axe in their hands, the opponent would definitely not stop chasing them. If they continued to fight with her for a long time, their strength would be exhausted prematurely, and they would not be able to escape.

Everyone passed the axe around quickly while looking around and thinking quickly about how to break the impasse.

"What should I do? It seems that I can't find a suitable method at all."

Ning Yan received the axe thrown by Qi Ruyue and his mind quickly turned.

In fact, it is very simple to break the deadlock. Just throw the axe into a dangerous or hard-to-reach place.

For example, the unknown cave they had explored before, or a deep underwater crevice somewhere.

But whether it was a cave or a dark crevice under the water, he always found it.

This is definitely not a solution!
Looking at Lian Huiyi who was rushing towards him coldly, Ning Yan gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.

The surging force was suddenly injected into the spiritual axe, and in an instant, the small topaz axe that was only three inches long immediately turned into a six-foot long giant axe, the surface of which was flashing with bright yellow light, revealing a heavy and domineering aura.

Ning Yan didn't think much and chopped forward with the axe.

Almost at the moment the axe chopped down, the calm water in front immediately split to both sides, revealing an extremely obvious empty passage.

The passage rushed towards Lian Huiyi on the opposite side at a speed faster than lightning, and was in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the loud explosion, Lian Huiyi, who had been chasing them relentlessly, was beaten back for the first time, leaving behind a trail of black stains along the way.

It was not a stain, but a trickle of black blood flowing from her arm.

She was really hurt.

Although the axe did not split the opponent in half as Ning Yan had imagined, the fact that he was able to kill or injure him proved that he was not invulnerable.

Ning Yan was delighted and immediately threw the axe, which had shrunk again, to Duan Haishan on the other side.

Although this spiritual axe is powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy.

That one strike just now had drained away nearly 70% of his strength.

Under normal circumstances, even a person of Hua Jin could be killed with one axe, but this guy fell from the third level after all, so he was incredibly strong.

But there are five of them on their side. If each of them uses an axe, they will be able to kill this zombie.

Ning Yan was thinking.

Then he saw Lian Huiyi on the opposite side, ignoring the axe that was passed to Duan Haishan and rushed straight towards him.

"Huh?" (End of chapter)
