On the desolate land, the surroundings were filled with death, and it was in such an environment that there was a huge crack. This crack was like a huge chasm that spanned across the two people’s eyes.
At a glance, the crack had no end and was so deep that one could not see its bottom. It was not impossible to cross it.
However, the crack was as deep as the canyon, and what was different from the canyon was the stone wall of the crack. The extremely smooth stone wall seemed to have been cut in two by someone. There were no bumps or depressions.
“Fellow Daoist Su Yi, what do you think of this crack?”
Xuan Yuan squatted down and touched the smooth stone wall with his hand after they arrived at the endless crack. Then, he raised his hand to twirl it and said with a frown.
There was no dust on his fingers. One could imagine how smooth the stone wall in the crack was. Moreover, it was definitely not natural to create such a crack. It was just that if it was man-made.
What kind of divine work was this?
With a glance, there was no end to it. Moreover, it was extremely deep. If it was man-made, it would be a huge project.
After hearing Xuan Yuan’s words, he thought for a while and concluded that this crack could not have been formed naturally.
However, what was the purpose of creating such a crack? Could there be something down there? Once this thought appeared, he could not suppress it.
However, he looked at the smooth stone wall and eventually gave up on this thought.
What kind of joke was this? This place was like an abyss with cracks in the ground. Who knew if he would be able to come back up after going down.
Moreover, there was no place to go down within a radius of a thousand meters?
He frowned slightly and said indifferently, “this crack doesn’t seem to be formed naturally to me. However, what does this crack represent? Who would spend so much effort to create such a magnificent sight?”
He shook his head and voiced out his many doubts.
However, Xuan Yuan did not continue his topic. Instead, he continued walking forward to look at the abyss-like crevice as he muttered.
“I feel that this crevice is very likely to be used to defend against demon beasts. This crevice is a few feet wide and has no bottom. Even if you and I fell down, we might not be able to survive, right?”
Xuan Yuan seemed to be stating the facts, but at the same time, he seemed to be questioning.
At this moment, he had also arrived at the edge of the crack. He looked at the other side of the crack and said indifferently, “perhaps.”
There were not many demon beasts in this forbidden land. So, how could it be used to defend against demon beasts?
At this moment, Xuan Yuan cried out in surprise, “fellow Daoist Su Yi! Quickly take a look at what is that?”
He pointed at a spot with a shocked expression on his face. It was as though he had really seen something.
Su Yi frowned as he followed his finger and looked down at the crack in the ground.
What was down there?
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and wanted to circulate his true essence.
Unfortunately, it was too late. A figure had appeared behind him at some point in time. A kick with so much force that it cut through the air already arrived behind him.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the powerful strength attribute of a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator erupted.
He did not have the time to react before he was actually sent flying by this sudden attack and fell into the crack on the ground.
In his eyes, Xuan Yuan’s face was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, there was a malevolent and evil smile as he looked at Xuan Yuan.
“Tsk, I thought he was powerful enough to obtain the immortal transformation medallion and join the Tiandao sect? He’s still just a young kid.”
Xuan Yuan looked at Su Yi viciously and mocked him.
So everything that this person did before was just an act. It was all so that Su Yi could trust him. Then, he would find an opportunity to kill Su Yi with one strike.
Now, Xuan Yuan had succeeded.
He looked at Xuan Yuan, who had almost laughed out loud, and his expression was extremely cold. He had known that the other party would not have any good intentions, but he had not expected the other party to act so quickly.
His body fell rapidly. As a foundation establishment realm warrior, he could not borrow any strength in the air. If he continued to fall like this, only death awaited him.
He shook his arm and slowly brought his body to the stone wall. True essence surged all over his body as he grabbed out with one hand.
He wanted to use his hand to insert into the stone wall to control his falling body. However, the stone wall was too smooth. Not only was it smooth, but it was also extremely hard. His fingers with true essence could not insert into it at all.
After realizing this, he took out the Dragon Blood Spirit-breaking Blade. He did not care whether Little Xie had an opinion or not.
He pushed the dagger forward. The dagger and the stone wall interweaved, causing sparks to fly. However, he was still unable to penetrate the stone wall, and his body continued to fall rapidly.
The shadow of true essence in his eyes also became smaller and smaller.
When the other party saw that his struggle was fruitless, he actually laughed out loud, and from time to time, he would say extremely arrogant words.
“Just this? I thought you were so powerful, and you even threatened to destroy our Sword Pavilion? Just with trash like you? Hahahaha…”
Xuan Yuan looked at his gradually disappearing figure and laughed loudly. The disdain in his eyes was completely displayed on his face. He was completely different from the way he treated Su Yi previously.
However, he did not see that there was no panic in Su Yi’s eyes. Instead, there was a trace of a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
The corner of his mouth moved slightly as he muttered softly.
“Flowing Light Dragon Shadow, first form, Flowing Shadow Flash.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the moment he lost sight of Xuan Yuan’s figure, his body actually turned into a shadow, a flowing light, and disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan, who was on top of the crack in the ground, only saw Su Yi struggling weakly before he fell into the bottomless abyss.
At this moment, his heart was filled with joy. How could he not be in a good mood after dealing with the great enemy of the Sword Pavilion?
As long as he left the forbidden land this time, he could even take credit from the third elder. Perhaps he could even get a promotion and a raise. Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan actually wanted to leave with light steps.
However, at this moment, the alertness in Xuan Yuan’s heart instantly exploded. An extremely dangerous feeling appeared in his senses.
All of a sudden, Xuan Yuan’s true essence suddenly exploded. His feet even stepped on the ground, and his body suddenly left his original spot to dodge in a certain direction.
After he suddenly dodged, he saw a black shadow appear in the air where he was standing before.
The Dragon Blood Spirit-breaking Blade flashed with a cold light. If Xuan Yuan had not dodged quickly, this blade would have cut his throat.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, Xuan Yuan had at least dodged this attack. However, when he saw the real appearance of the black shadow, he was suddenly shocked.
He pointed at Su Yi with a face full of disbelief.
“How is this possible! How can you come up!”
His eyes were filled with incomparable shock. He had clearly seen Su Yi fall into the bottomless abyss. Even if he could find a foothold on the stone wall, how could he come up behind him in an instant?
At this moment, Su Yi looked at Xuan Yuan’s miserable figure and coldly said, “how is it impossible?”
