Seeing that Zhao Qing had already agreed, he took a long breath to Yutian, sensing the breath in the surrounding environment with his sense of smell that was ten thousand times sharper than ordinary people, paying special attention to the area of the previous main hub room, and in an instant, he confirmed the location of the next battle like her.

The total number of people of the secret tribe is only more than 1,000, because they have lived in the depths of the desert for generations, they have gradually developed a special physique, and they are a hundred times more sensitive to smells than ordinary people, and they can smell the water springs buried deep in the ground and the mutation of the air, so as to find some vitality in the desolate desert.

In fact, all the martial arts of the secret clan have developed around the sense of smell. The sense of smell is breathing, and the exhalation and inhalation are always in pairs, with the exception of the first and last two times, which make them smell the fear and even the intention of the enemy.

As the most outstanding figure of the secret clan in the past, and then with the blessing of advanced cultivation, in terms of the keen sense of smell alone, Xiang Yutian is undoubtedly the top person in the world, even if Zhao Qing has developed it with the method of Buddhism, it is still slightly inferior.

After only a few breaths, he could smell the situation under the shaft of the main hub room from the faint smell of the environment, and knew that there was a large underground river with a complex network under it, and after passing through the cavern that was more than ten miles long, he could reach a vast underground lake.

This underground dark river is the main source of power for Lu Miaozi in the design of Yang Gong's treasure house, the flow should not be underestimated, faintly connected with the Wei River outside the city, the internal environment is dark and damp, and the underground lake connected to it is indeed a suitable battlefield site.

Seeing that Zhao Qing also knew about the existence of the underground dark lake, Xiang Yutian was slightly shocked in his heart, knowing that he still did not have much advantage in the direction he was best at, but he didn't know that she also used ultrasonic exploration in addition to her sense of smell, which was equivalent to underwater detection of sonar.

Telling Lu Miaozi of the place where they were about to fight, the two of them quickly jumped into the deep shaft of the main hub room, and along the way, they caught a glimpse of the most wet and dark plants such as liverworts, which gradually decreased as the altitude dropped, and the air became stuffy and suffocating.

After about 30 zhang of the shaft fell, the winch chains and pumping pipes on the wall of the shaft finally became scarce, and in an instant, it crossed the boundary between water and air, and officially entered the clear and cold underground water basin.

For Zhao Qing, she maintained a half-foot-thick air bubble film around her body, and she did not show any embarrassment by diving into the water; And Xiang Yutian, who entered the water half a breath earlier than her, did not expend his energy on this, but kept pouring true qi into the Sigu Sword.

As the red and white light on the blade flickered alternately, the large body of water on the side fell into a "superimposed state" of being turned into ice by the cold and turning into water vapor by the flames, causing a continuous explosion at the bottom of the water, causing a heavy shock ripple all around.

In a series of dull explosions, the middle of the shaft echoed the sound of a long mechanism, and more than a dozen thick steel plates turned out from all sides of the shaft wall, splicing and interlocking to form several layers of barriers, blocking the last bit of light shining into the water from above.

Of course, this was not that Lu Miaozi wanted to bury Xiang Yutian and Zhao Qing together in an underground river channel that was not suitable for survival, but he knew that the aftermath of the battle between the two super masters would release a huge impact, and the corresponding isolation mechanism was activated in advance to prevent the entire treasure house from being damaged.

In his not-so-clever eyes, even if the two of them were really accidentally sealed in an underground rock formation hundreds of feet deep, relying on their almost infinite physical strength and profound skills, it was enough to forcibly carve out a path to the ground.

……

Ignoring Lu Miaozi's countermeasures, Zhao Qing dived a few zhang behind Xiang Yutian, and gradually penetrated into the narrow, rugged, and rugged, like countless crypts extending one after another, with ups and downs, wide and narrow, worthy of the name "dark and dark" inside the water-filled tunnel.

It only took a dozen breaths of time, and the two of them traveled a distance of hundreds of zhang in this tortuous underground river with many tributaries and easy to get lost, many times faster than the speed of the water, through countless vortices and turbulence, and endured the huge resistance in the water body.

If it were someone else, when I arrived in this cave filled with water underground, I am afraid that if I swam a distance of more than ten zhang, my heart would be full of frustration of being far away from the world, lonely and lonely, no matter how firm my will was, I only felt that the road ahead was boundless, and it was a matter of time before I collapsed.

However, for figures like Zhao Qing and Xiang Yutian, who have reached the pinnacle of their martial arts cultivation and spiritual realm, their thoughts stretch outward like a spider's web, and they can explore the huge underground river network in an instant, but they only regard it as a small obstacle before reaching their destination.

After traveling about six or seven miles, passing through dozens of crevices formed by erosion and erosion, the river suddenly became wider, expanding from a few feet to two or three zhang, the height of the water surface also decreased, and the top of the channel gradually became empty, and from time to time clusters of crystals drooped.

Under the light of the Sigu Sword in Xiang Yutian's hand, Zhao Qing could clearly see a large area of milky white quartz stones in the surrounding environment, and occasionally caught a glimpse of a few clusters of soft and transparent stalactite chalcedony, which showed that they had entered the range of a quartz vein.

Picking a few thick quartz crystals in her hand, her mind moved slightly, and while moving forward at high speed in the water, she wrapped them in gangqi, and the palm of her hand emitted an astonishing heat, causing them to melt quickly in the shock, melting into two large balls of transparent liquid;

After a few breaths of time, Zhao Qing's palms turned hot to cold, and these molten quartz began to solidify, but instead of turning into amorphous glass, they condensed into two crystal long swords under the quenching of Gang Qi, which she held lightly in her hand.

In terms of hardness and strength, ice with a sufficiently low temperature is not inferior to crystal, and repair is significantly faster. However, considering that the fighting in the underground confined space can easily cause the environment to heat up significantly, she still decided to use the rocks on the side to make weapons that are more resistant to high temperatures.

Sensing that Zhao Qing in the rear had made the quartz on the side into a delicate crystal blade, Xiang Yutian's heart was once again shocked by her subtle control ability, and at the same time accelerated the speed of the journey, and transmitted to her whether to officially start the battle now.

In response to this, Zhao Qing also gave an appropriate response after judging that the surrounding environment was quite stable and not easy to collapse, and casually waved the crystal long sword in his left hand, and slashed out a faint blue glowing ice arc from afar, heading towards Yutian.

I saw that this extremely cold sword light that was constantly leaving an obvious diffusion trajectory in mid-air by condensing the water vapor along the way into ice crystals seemed to be ordinary and had no change, but it suddenly accelerated in the middle of the section, shattering the countless ice crystals behind that had not yet fallen into the water;

In an instant, it quickly split into dozens of short arc sword lights, alternately covering and dancing with each other, forming a small storm of fierce ice blades, enveloping all directions where Xiang Yutian might dodge, and there was a tendency to converge and merge into one, so as to flank the attack.

At the same time, the red and white light of the Sigu Sword's repeated changes also suddenly stopped, and the white light as cold as snow converged inside, and the red light occupied the entire sword body, bursting into the sky with light and shadow, flickering and wandering like flames.

The edge was vigorous, turning into a circle of light, and striking Zhao Qing with overwhelming power, bursts of scorching and suffocating astonishing sword qi burst out with clusters of light flames with the Sigu Sword, as if suddenly it had reached a lifeless desert, and the heat wave rolled in.

The Secret Clan, who have lived in the depths of the desert for many years, have experienced all kinds of blazing desert heat and created this sword trick "Flame Sand", which aims to release a heat wave to steam the enemy, so that the blood in his body is too thick to flow due to lack of water, and gradually falls into a desperate situation.

But when it came to Xiang Yutian's hands, the power of this move "Flame Wild Sand" was no longer as simple as when it was first created, at the moment when the light flame heat wave exploded, it was wrapped in a large area of water that rolled upside down, and completely dried it into hot steam;

In just a moment's time, it filled the area between him and Zhao Qing for more than ten zhang, and a powerful air flow that expanded rapidly in one direction was emitted, and the aftermath alone forced the river below to completely expose the bottom, showing an unstoppable and amazing might.

The extremely violent steam explosion caused the air flow to reach more than ten times the speed of sound in an instant, easily crushing the clusters of quartz chalcedony protruding from the surrounding area, tearing apart the incoming ice blade storm, and rushing straight towards Zhao Qing's direction.

After all, it was a trick that had been ready to be launched for a long time, and the energy in the accumulation was indeed far beyond the arc-shaped ice blade that Zhao Qing tentatively slashed, if it landed in the area of the previous shaft, it could completely remotely tear the multi-layer stainless steel several feet thick into pieces, and the power was already beyond the limit of ordinary people's imagination.

In the face of this water vapor impact, which is comparable to a natural disaster, Zhao Qing did not wave in his heart, but quickly slashed out hundreds of spiral sword lights, cutting the rock layer of a short section of the river in front of him, adjusting the terrain structure to guide the high-pressure airflow to slow down and rotate, forming a low-pressure cavity in the middle.

By reducing the local spatial air pressure, she just condensed a streamlined barrier of qi in front of her, and successfully blocked the impact of the steam explosion, and without being repulsed for much distance, she accelerated forward and chased again.

Passing through a large area of water mixed with all kinds of freshly shaken debris, Zhao Qing quickly traveled a distance of hundreds of zhang and approached the rear of Xiang Yutian again, from which it can be seen that the other party was also affected by the aftermath of the explosion, and his speed slowed down temporarily.

Immediately afterward, he seemed to realize that Zhao Qing was unscathed in the attack just now, and Xiang Yutian was slightly surprised in his heart, and at the same time let out a roar like a dragon roaring in the abyss, which could only be heard at first, and then turned into an astonishing howl like a torrential rain and a violent wind, filling the sky and the earth.

This is not a pure sonic attack like the Yin Sect's "Heavenly Demon Sound", which also has an evil spiritual influence, but has a different kind of lethal effect, in the blink of an eye, it triggers a violent resonance of the entire river, and the more fragile rock formations immediately burst open to form cracks, shooting out large swaths of stones.

Obviously, this is one of the various interference methods that Xiang Yutian released to Zhao Qing after the official start of the competition, hoping to disrupt the rhythm of her moves and the speed of accumulating power, so as to take the lead and gain the upper hand.

In the face of the obstacles set by the other party, Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and the pure and flawless Yuan Shen entered a transcendent state, and the underground river in his eyes was no longer a simple underground river, but a stress potential field full of fluctuations of yin and yang.

With her extremely keen spiritual sense, any abnormal movement could not hide her superhuman spiritual sense, so as to predict the concussive effect of the rock formations that each sound wave would cause, easily ignoring the quartz fragments sputtered out at high speed in the river section ahead.

Activating the debut ultrasonic wave to counteract Xiang Yutian's sound power and calming the vibration of the rock formation, Zhao Qing used complex and subtle precise calculations to swing his sword to remove some of the quartz fragments, and at the same time, he was also using the kinetic energy of these stones to assist in acceleration, moving faster and faster.

After a few small turns, the river became more open, reaching a width of five or six zhang, and it was difficult to concentrate on the amazing power of the steam explosion, and the waterfall formed by the flow of water at the entrance of a hole in front of it marked the imminent arrival of an underground dark lake that could be used as a vast battlefield.

That is, at the moment when she was about to enter this hole, Zhao Qing finally launched a new round of her attack, and the crystal long swords in both hands drew a round sword circle, which converged five feet away, and condensed into a spherical dark force field with a diameter of about three feet.

The area of influence of this dark force field does not seem to be large, but when it is formed, it causes several circles of ripples on the surface of the lake below, but in terms of the speed at which it flies forward, it is extremely fast, which shows that it has the strange ability to expel the air in its path.

He had already left the waterfall at the entrance of the cave and walked to Xiang Yutian in the middle of the underground lake, because the fluctuations caused by this spherical force field were quite slight, and he did not react at the moment when it first shot out, and by the time he noticed this thing, there was only a distance of eight or nine zhang left.

He had always attached great importance to Zhao Qing, judging that the Dark Sphere was definitely not an ordinary attack that sacrificed power in exchange for speed, and fully stimulated Yutian's mind and potential, and turned around in mid-air in a momentary situation, creating a round concave force field with his sword move, which stopped in front of him.

In the next moment, something unexpected happened, with the defensive aura condensed by multiple Taiyin True Water, it had the effect of resisting and delaying all kinds of fierce attacks, but when it encountered this inconspicuous dark sphere, it was torn apart by the devastation.

It was only at this moment that Xiang Yutian realized that Zhao Qing had somehow magically given a mass of gas surrounded by the sword aura weighing more than 10,000 catties, and caused it to explode at the end of its flight, releasing a terrifying impact that was difficult to resist head-on.

At the last moment when the dark air mass easily broke through the Taiyin aura and was about to hit half of his body, Xiang Yutian's true qi attached to the Sigu Sword seemed to have turned into a living creature, and the natural entanglement and agitation spontaneously became the "Little Sanhe" move, which was extremely wonderful.

I saw that this sword made a clear sound, and the sharp spike shot out a strong electric light that made people blind, cutting and tearing the air in front of them, and in an instant, it fell in the center of the dark air mass, causing a deafening loud explosion.

The fierce light flames emitted by the convergence of a large number of Sun True Fire and Taiyin True Water released a terrifying energy that was enough to turn ordinary great masters into charcoal in an instant, and directly pierced and tore apart the hypersonic air mass weighing more than 10,000 catties, but unfortunately it did not stop its residual impact.

With a violent tremor of Sigu's sword body, Xiang Yutian felt that even half of his body in his right arm had become paralyzed, and the meridian bones were covered with small injuries, and he immediately handed over the sword in his left hand, and the whole person rolled in the air several times to dissolve the momentum, and finally crashed into the stone wall by the lake.

Although both the "Purple Blood Dafa" and the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa" have secret methods that use injuries to increase their power, they know in their hearts that Zhao Qing's bizarre and bizarre methods are by no means a few, and he doesn't dare to be careless at all, and decisively exerts the true power of the "Purple Blood Dao Body".

At the same time that the surrounding stone walls quickly disintegrated and fell due to the force of the impact, a large number of dark purple glowing blood droplets suddenly oozed to the surface of Yutian's body, and each drop was scattered and suspended in the air, looking like a large area of frozen and solidified dark purple flames.

In Zhao Qing's induction, the other party no longer seemed to be a complete individual, but split into countless centers, each of which exuded high-frequency fluctuations of spirit and spirit, were so real and threatening, as if waiting for an opportunity to move.

And the Sigu Sword, which gradually calmed down from the tremors, a line of secret characters on the sword body that looked like more than a dozen small insects crawling was particularly terrifying under the light of purple light, and then it seemed to lose its substance, condensed into a light that changed from red to blue, from blue to purple, and then from purple to white.

In the next moment, a purple and white high-condensation sword qi shot straight towards Zhao Qing's direction, dragging the tail of a flame of light, and along the way, there was a wind-breaking sound that seemed to be able to throw through the void like a dragon's roar and thunder.

There is no doubt that this is a more powerful attack than the "Little Sanhe" that Xiang Yutian issued at the critical moment, releasing energy with the method of Yin and Yang radical transformation, and the lethality is no longer under the previous dark air mass, and even more powerful.

For a while, the entire lake surface was illuminated like lightning, making people blind, unable to see anything, and a trace of afterimage clearly appeared in the purple and white light, but the ionized gas was expanding sharply outward, and it was bizarre and strange to the extreme.

What made Zhao Qing feel even more threatened was that the moment the purple blood spread around Xiang Yutian's body, her original sense of infinite spiritual sense quickly narrowed, and the figure of the other party suddenly disappeared from her spiritual sensing network, making the attack she was also about to launch unable to find the target for a while.

However, the other party was able to recover to a certain level in such a short period of time and launch a fierce counterattack, and naturally within the dozen or so changes that Zhao Qing expected, he had already prepared defensive countermeasures for him.

In her opinion, if he didn't have the confidence to defeat Xiang Yutian and suppress the other party in terms of knowledge, force, and other aspects, even if he was willing to obey his own instructions because of the hidden dangers of demonic energy, it would also bring some trouble due to Xiang Yutian's unsociable and unique character;

However, if there is an absolute certainty of victory, and there is no suspense in the battle, this battle will lose its meaning; On the contrary, the more stunts that can bring you a sense of threat, the more you can inspire yourself and temper your spirit and heart.

I wasted time watching the news and decided to stay up late to write a 2k draft, which will be updated normally tomorrow

If there is something to do during the Dragon Boat Festival, make up 6k+ the next day
