110: Chapter 110 Entering the Lake

As the words fell, Ouyang Yuanshan flipped his wrist.

The qingling sword, carrying a fierce wind, thrust towards the last Man in black once again.

"Clang!"

The Man in black hurriedly swung his blade to parry.

He was shaken back repeatedly by the force on the sword, the terror in his eyes deepening.

Seeing this from afar, Xiang Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand to stroke the Poison Dart Frog perched on his shoulder.

He laughed and said, "Little Frog, this is a great achievement, it counts for you."

The Poison Dart Frog proudly lifted its head, its voice crisp: "Master, didn't I tell you I'd be very useful!"

"That's right, you certainly didn't disappoint." Xiang Tian nodded approvingly, his gaze sweeping back to the battlefield.

He noticed.

The two Men in black who had been poisoned earlier had not yet completely breathed their last; they were just lying on the ground, twitching incessantly.

Seeing this!

His figure flashed, and he stepped forward quickly to deliver the finishing blow.

"Swish!"

The Demon Blood Blade precisely pierced one of their hearts.

That person twitched twice and then went silent.

Xiang Tian took off the storage ring from his hand and scanned it with his Divine Thought.

He muttered to himself: "Dayue Kingdom imperial expert, number fifteen."

Inside the storage ring, besides this identification, there were only a few Spirit Stones and a few ordinary Spirit Medicines.

Seeing this, Xiang Tian clicked his tongue secretly: "I didn't expect an expert of the Martial Emperor Realm to be living so frugally."

He walked over to the other poisoned Man in black and delivered another sword strike.

He took away the other party's storage ring.

It was surprisingly number thirteen; he and number fifteen were indeed brothers in misfortune.

Not long after, Ouyang Yuanshan dealt with the last Man in black.

He walked over quickly and cupped his hands in a salute to Xiang Tian.

"Xiang Tian, I didn't expect your pet to be a genuine Poison Dart Frog."

"Just a stroke of luck to tame it." Xiang Tian chuckled.

"Since the enemies are all dealt with, let's continue on our way."

"You knew these Men in black were from the Dayue Kingdom all along?" Ouyang Yuanshan frowned tightly.

"That is natural." Xiang Tian nodded.

"So we must reunite with the main group as soon as possible, otherwise the Ouyang Family Disciples will likely suffer heavy losses."

Ouyang Yuanshan nodded in agreement and returned the qingling sword to Xiang Tian.

The group tidied up a bit and continued moving forward in one direction.

...

One day later, in a dense forest.

"Bang!"

A loud noise came, accompanied by the roar of a Spirit Beast.

"Roar~"

A group of Ouyang Family Disciples was being besieged by several Spirit Beasts, retreating steadily.

"Brother Yunshan! We are exhausted!" a Disciple shouted hoarsely, panting heavily.

"I told you to train hard in normal times, but everyone complained endlessly. Now you know the consequences!" Ouyang Yunshan scolded angrily while struggling to fend off the Spirit Beasts' attacks.

His brows were tightly knitted together.

He quickly scanned the Spirit Beasts surrounding them, his heart sinking.

One fifth-rank Spirit Beast, plus six fourth-rank Spirit Beasts.

With their cultivation levels, they were simply unable to withstand a single blow.

"We still have a chance!" In the crowd, Ouyang Yunguang gritted his teeth and persisted.

He shouted, "No matter how strong they are, they are ultimately beasts without intelligence. If we work together to maneuver, we might just have a chance of winning!"

This group was also brought together by coincidence.

They had been hunting in the Secret Realm for several days and had gathered together by chance.

Unexpectedly, they encountered such danger just after reuniting.

"That may be so, but in the face of absolute power, all techniques are just flashy and useless." Ouyang Yunshan said in a deep voice.

At this moment, he was the pillar of support for everyone.

Once he fell, everyone would lose their lives.

"If only Xiang Tian were here, he could always create miracles." A Disciple couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, Xiang Tian's methods are endless; perhaps he really would have a way to solve the current predicament." Even Ouyang Yunshan couldn't help but admit he was inferior.

"Roar—!"

Their conversation seemed to anger the fifth-rank Spirit Beast, and it let out a low roar.

Its massive body lunged forward suddenly.

"Careful! It's been enraged!" Ouyang Yunshan's expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly held his long sword horizontally in front of him to parry.

"Bang!"

The giant claw of the fifth-rank Spirit Beast slammed heavily onto the sword blade.

Ouyang Yunshan was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.

"Pfft—"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Yunshan!" The Disciples exclaimed, their faces turning pale.

With Ouyang Yunshan no longer there to block the fifth-rank Spirit Beast.

A massive pressure instantly descended, making it impossible for everyone to breathe.

"Oh no! It's going to strike again!" Ouyang Yunguang shouted, his heart already filled with despair.

"Bang!"

Just at this critical moment.

The fifth-rank Spirit Beast, which was about to pounce on everyone, was suddenly struck by a huge force and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Immediately after.

A figure in white slowly landed in front of everyone, their back as straight as a pine tree.

Looking incredibly tall in the eyes of the crowd.

"Brother Yuanshan!"

The Disciples saw the figure's back clearly and shouted with joy.

"Protect yourselves." Ouyang Yuanshan instructed calmly.

His figure instantly turned into an afterimage, rushing towards the remaining Spirit Beasts.

"Roar—!"

The miserable cries of the Spirit Beasts rang out one after another.

In just a few breaths of time, all the besieging Spirit Beasts lay in pools of blood.

The cries echoed throughout the nearby forest.

"Alright, they are all dealt with." Ouyang Yuanshan returned his sword to its sheath and turned to look at the crowd.

"Brother Yuanshan, quickly check on Brother Yunshan!" Ouyang Yunguang hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"You don't need to worry, Yunshan is fine." Ouyang Yuanshan pointed behind the crowd.

The crowd turned their heads to look and saw Ouyang Yunshan resting against a large tree.

Beside him stood Xiang Tian, Ouyang Ling, and Ouyang Huamei.

Because they needed to travel, Xiang Tian had already put his three Spirit Pets into the System space.

"Xiang Tian, you are actually here too?" The Ouyang Family Disciples gathered around one after another.

They cupped their hands and saluted Xiang Tian.

"Since you are out of danger, let's continue on our way and look for the others." Ouyang Yuanshan finished speaking.

And walked forward first.

"Brother Yuanshan, there seem to be a lot of Spirit Beasts here." Ouyang Yunguang glanced towards the depths of the forest.

Even from a great distance, one could vaguely hear the roars of Spirit Beasts.

"Since we are here, why don't we hunt a few Spirit Beasts together? We could also harvest some resources."

"No." Ouyang Yuanshan stopped, turned around, his expression solemn.

"I am the only Martial Emperor Realm expert here; if we encounter danger, I simply cannot guarantee everyone's safety."

The Disciples were all stunned, not understanding why.

Subsequently, Ouyang Yuanshan briefly explained the matter of the Dayue Kingdom Martial Emperor Realm experts appearing in the Secret Realm.

"What? There are many Dayue Kingdom experts in the Secret Realm?" Ouyang Yunguang was so scared that his hair stood on end, and his face instantly turned pale.

They were only at the Martial King Realm cultivation level.

In front of the Martial Emperor Realm, they were simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

This is too dangerous!

"Go, go, go! Let's hurry and reunite with the princesses!" The Disciples echoed one after another.

They dared not mention hunting Spirit Beasts again.

At this time, Ouyang Yunshan, having recuperated a bit, had also recovered quite a bit.

He stood up and frowned: "I feel that there are Ouyang Family members ahead, and it is very likely they have already fallen into danger."

"Oh? Our Ouyang Family members?" Ouyang Yuanshan instantly came to his side, his expression tense.

"Are you sure?"

"When I first arrived here, Yunguang and the others were already in deep danger, so I had to give up on exploring further." Ouyang Yunshan explained.

"How long ago was this?" The Aura on Ouyang Yuanshan's body surged instantly.

"Less than an hour ago." Ouyang Yunshan pointed in a direction ahead.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Yuanshan's figure turned into a stream of light.

And quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Let's follow too!" Seeing this, Xiang Tian immediately followed closely behind.

Ouyang Yuanshan, at the very front, was extremely fast, and not long after, he arrived at the edge of a lake.

He stopped and looked around.

He quickly discovered the traces of a fight remaining on the shore and frowned tightly.

"Hmm? There are traces of a fight here? Could it be that they entered the lake?"

At this time, Xiang Tian and the others also arrived at the lakeside.

"How is it a lake here?" Ouyang Yunshan was stunned for a moment.

He clearly didn't expect such a scene.

"No, these traces of a fight are very fresh; they must have been left by our Ouyang Family members!"

Ouyang Yunshan examined them carefully, and his brows knitted even tighter.

"Everyone, split up and search the lake first!" Ouyang Yuanshan instructed the Disciples behind him.

"Splash! Splash!"

The Disciples all jumped into the lake in unison, and naturally, Xiang Tian was no exception.

Just after entering the cold lake water, he had an idea and took the Poison Dart Frog out of his Spirit Beast bag.

"Although you are small, you are naturally good at swimming; help me look in the lake..."

Before Xiang Tian finished speaking, the Poison Dart Frog's eyes suddenly widened.

It was so excited that it almost jumped in the water.

"Master! This is the place I wanted to bring you to!"

"Hmm? What is special about this place?" Xiang Tian was bewildered and didn't understand what it meant at all.

"Master, if you dive to the bottom of the lake with me, you'll know!" The Poison Dart Frog's speed in the water was not slow.

But unfortunately, it was too small, and its stamina was limited.

It had only dived a short distance before it ran out of strength.

It could only float in the water.

"Alright, you just point out the direction, and I will take you down."

Seeing this, Xiang Tian directly grabbed the Poison Dart Frog in his hand.

And prepared to dive towards the bottom of the lake.
