Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 314: All the strong ones appear
Li Muchan raised his eyes and immediately saw a familiar figure flying down from under the moon. It was the flying swordsman.
But there were several figures following closely behind the flying swordsman, but they were not his companions, but his enemies.
None of these people had faces from the Central Plains; they were all from foreign races. Their methods were all strange and bizarre, and it seemed as if they were intentionally launching an attack.
The group came and went as fast as lightning, and before anyone could react, they disappeared into the darkness where no lights could reach, causing bursts of exclamations.
Hearing the fierce fighting coming from below, Li Muchan's expression froze slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Chase!"
The three of them jumped into the big pit in front of them and chased in the direction where the flying swordsman disappeared.
After entering and walking a short distance, Li Muchan discovered that there was a naturally formed cave below. Stalagmites of varying thicknesses were scattered at different heights, and a winding path, carved by humans, led to a cave not far away.
Along the way, there were many crystal stones of various colors standing crookedly on both sides of the path, emitting a faint glow.
The three were shocked and surprised, and they chased after the sound all the way. When they passed the stone cave, they saw that there were several crisscrossing tunnels behind them. There were many forks behind each tunnel, and they had no idea where they led to.
There are also many divided stone chambers, like underground ant holes, which make people feel dizzy.
Li Muchan's eyes were burning as he looked around. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a shallow sword mark on a stone wall. He immediately turned around and followed the sword's trace.
After driving them out for more than a hundred feet, Li Muchan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a corpse lying in front of him. A blond-haired and blue-eyed barbarian was lying on the ground with a sword in his throat.
Not far from the corpse, at the end of the tunnel, was a huge stone door.
The stone door was half-open, and through the crack, a ball of fire could be seen shining through.
Li Muchan took a deep breath , then walked past the corpse and went in with Shangguan Xiaoxian and Li Yaoshi.
The view suddenly opened up, and behind the door was a huge cave that was twenty meters square.
Inside, numerous stone pillars stood, each so thick that it would take several people to embrace it. Lamps hung from the walls, illuminating ancient stone carvings. In the center, an eight-foot-tall alchemy furnace, a flame leaping from it and emitting a fragrant aroma.
"Everyone is here."
Suddenly, a low laugh was heard.
Li Muchan looked in the direction of the sound and saw four cushions placed behind the alchemy furnace, with someone sitting on each cushion.
The first three sat side by side, exactly the same.
Li Muchan was not unfamiliar with these three people, but he was looking at the last one, an old man in purple.
It was difficult to tell the man's age from his appearance, but with his long braided hair, he clearly looked very old. However, the strange thing was that his temples had a repeating blue-black tint, and strands of black hair had turned black from the roots, faintly visible among the hair, and even his snow-white beard had a faint blue-black tint.
What was even more bizarre was that this man had a skinny and withered body, but he exuded a very strong and rich vitality from his body. He was full of energy, still young and strong, and even had a bit of the aura of an immortal.
Zhu Da.
As soon as Li Muchan saw this person, he determined his identity. Even though he couldn't believe it, he still recognized this person from the outline of his eyebrows and eyes, and there was no doubt about it.
But he was surprised in his heart. This man was clearly half dead at that time. He was shrouded in death, his face was like a sick ghost, and his body was hunched. Even if he had not died after so many years, he should have been weaker. How come he seemed to be getting younger and younger?
Shangguan Xiaoxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she called out to someone, "Uncle Fei!"
The man shuddered slightly when he heard that, and then turned around to look.
Flying swordsman.
Seeing old friends again, the Flying Swordsman looked at Shangguan Xiaoxian, then at Li Muchan, with endless emotion in his eyes.
When they looked at each other, it seemed as if everything was self-evident.
Zhu Da seemed to have guessed what Li Muchan was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "Is this really that surprising? It's just some trick to restore youth."
Although the two had met before, Li Muchan had never seen the other's true face. He knew that the other party was extraordinary, but to be able to practice martial arts to such a level of rejuvenation, how could the word "extraordinary" describe it.
"Is this the burial place you chose for yourself?" Li Muchan said softly.
Zhu Da said calmly, "Everyone hasn't arrived yet, so don't worry. Don't worry, I'm no longer in the age of scheming. Those layers of obstacles outside are just to stop ordinary people and small-time people. In this world, who will be the king and the hegemon? Ultimately, strength will speak for itself."
Not only were Li Muchan and his group here, there were also several Western masters, all looking at them with cold brows and unfriendly expressions.
The flying swordsman said in a deep voice, "You should know why ?"
Zhu Da nodded, clapped his hands, and smiled. His eyes were bright and cunning. He said slowly and calmly, "I know. Of course I know. I know exactly why each of you came here. I know everything."
"So what?" Li Muchan asked.
Zhu Da leaned forward slightly, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Forgive my rudeness, but I'm here today to meet with all the heroes. I hope you will give me some advice."
"Um?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed and became subtle.
What this old ghost meant was that he wanted to fight against all the heroes on his own?
"You're really brave. If that's the case, I'll join in the fun."
Suddenly, a cold voice was heard outside the door, and footsteps were getting closer. Then a beautiful woman strode in, her clothes fluttering, and she came in erratically.
However, everyone's expression changed again, because the voice just now was clearly a calm male voice.
strangeness.
Zhu Da laughed heartily, "Don't let yourselves misunderstand. My senior brother was born with a male body and a female appearance. He once made a great name for himself in the West."
Boy with feminine appearance?
Li Muchan's eyes showed surprise, and this woman was none other than Ah Xiu.
No, the other party should be addressed as Venerable Ashura.
As soon as this person appeared, the foreign masters all knelt on one knee and said excitedly: "We greet the Venerable!"
Zhu Da sighed, "I told you that, with your skills, there's no way you could die before me. You even used the Bodhi Relic to deliberately lure me, so I knew he wasn't dead."
Venerable Ashura snorted coldly and stood with his hands behind his back: "Now those people outside are either dead, some have escaped, or some obey my orders. Apart from these three adopted sons, how much confidence do you have left?"
But suddenly, the man sneered, "No, I was wrong, you are alone now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three identical old men suddenly stood up with a smile and retreated behind Venerable Ashura.
Zhu Da, however, seemed to have anticipated this, and said slowly, "Brother, don't worry. Today's battle will surely be unprecedented, and I will never let you down. You are all outstanding men of our time, some dominating one another, some running rampant, and some commanding the martial arts world, the pinnacle of the Jianghu. Now, by chance, you have all gathered here. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... Whoever wins will be the winner!"
Venerable Ashura said coldly, "Let's not discuss the outcome for now. I just want to know: you've been crazy all your life, but have you ever managed to refine the elixir of immortality?"
Zhu Da smiled faintly and looked at the alchemy furnace, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"Whether the medicine is effective or not, we still need to try it."
