621: A suspicious Cangmu makes a move in secret!

Old Wood took a deep breath, gathering all the Spiritual Power in his body onto his right fist, while secretly activating a secret technique.

He had only used this secret technique once since obtaining it, because it would inflict severe injuries upon him!

But at the same time, it would greatly enhance his combat power in a short period of time.

Old Wood's fist emitted a dazzling spiritual light, and rolling Spiritual Power pressure spread out, seemingly pushing aside the surrounding foul.

He knew this was the strongest strike of his life. He had to win, both to survive and for the sake of the brothers behind him.

Those nearby were slightly taken aback after sensing the power of Old Wood's punch.

They hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary old man, whose Qi and blood even seemed somewhat weak, to be able to unleash such a terrifying punch?!

"Hmph! Petty tricks! Watch me shatter it with a single punch!!"

The brawny man coldly snorted, making no attempt to conceal his strength.

His cultivation instantly boiled fiercely, his muscles bulged, and then all his cultivation gathered onto his fist.

Subsequently, a violent fist phantom condensed in front of him, carrying a devastating Aura, and fiercely smashed towards Old Wood.

He was already impatient to send this old man flying with one punch and then seize this rich Ore area!

Lu Hao's phantom body was still mechanically swinging the pickaxe, while his true body leaned against the corner, calmly watching everything.

His Divine Thought covered the entire mine tunnel, taking in everything.

Old Wood had some affinity with him, and his character was decent and responsible. Most importantly, they had indeed discovered this rich Ore area first.

Lu Hao slightly raised his finger.

A trace of imperceptible Spiritual Power condensed on his fingertip, as if it could shoot out at any moment.

In the arena, the Aura of both Old Wood and the brawny man had already climbed to its peak.

"Hah!"

Old Wood let out a low roar, suddenly stepped forward, and his right fist, carrying the sound of rushing wind, fiercely slammed towards the brawny man.

"Die for me!"

The brawny man roared with laughter, his fist like a cannonball leaving the barrel, meeting Old Wood's attack.

The two forces, like two meteors, fiercely collided in mid-air.

Boom!

A deafening boom echoed in the mine tunnel, fragments of rock scattered on the ground, and Qi waves surged.

However, the Ore on the rock walls remained almost completely undisturbed.

The moment they clashed!

Old Wood felt a mountain-toppling, sea-draining force assault his body through his fist. His body shook violently, his mouth tasted sweet, and he almost coughed up blood.

His Spiritual Power was instantly suppressed, and he swayed precariously, almost sent flying backward.

He knew he was going to lose.

But he was unwilling; he could not lose!

Old Wood desperately squeezed every last bit of cultivation within his body, frantically pouring it into his right fist, hoping for a miracle.

The brawny man was not feeling great either; the immense impact also caused him minor injuries, but relatively speaking, he was much better off than Old Wood.

Just like that, the two men were locked in a stalemate for a moment.

Finally, Old Wood couldn't hold on any longer and took a step back... Not good!

Old Wood cried out in despair internally.

But just as despair arose in Old Wood's heart, an imperceptible beam of light flashed from Lu Hao's fingertip, silently merging into Old Wood's body.

This power was extremely subtle, silent, and went unnoticed by anyone.

A powerful and pure force suddenly erupted from within Old Wood's body, instantly merging into his Spiritual Power which was about to collapse.

That force was like adding oil to a raging fire, causing the might of his attack to surge dramatically!

It even restored about eighty percent of the injuries within his body.

Old Wood was both shocked and delighted. He immediately exerted force, and the brawny man's attack was instantly torn apart like rotten wood. The residual power heavily slammed into the brawny man's chest, sending him flying straight out!

"Pfft!"

The brawny man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying backward and crashing against the stone wall, making a dull sound.

He struggled to prop himself up with his hands, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This... How is this possible! How could you erupt with such powerful energy?! No... This is impossible!!!"

The brawny man became frantic for a moment, and his Qi and blood surged to his heart, causing him to vomit a mouthful of congested blood and pass out.

The dozen or so men led by the brawny man quickly gathered anxiously around him to check his injuries.

The entire area fell silent.

The onlookers exchanged glances, their faces filled with incredulity. They rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen wrong. An old man at Yuan Xu Realm Fifth Level actually defeated a Yuan Xu Realm Seventh Level brawny man?

This was simply unbelievable!

The Black-armored Soldier walked over. It coldly glanced at the unconscious brawny man, confirming he was only severely injured and not in danger of death.

"Old Wood wins. This rich Ore area belongs to Old Wood's team."

The Black-armored Soldier's voice remained cold and devoid of emotion.

After speaking, it turned and left, continuing its patrol.

The remaining group shot a venomous look at Old Wood and his team, lifted the unconscious brawny man, and slunk away dejectedly.

Their faces were filled with resentment, yet they dared not defy the Black-armored Soldier's command.

"We won! We won!"

Old Wood's team erupted in cheers of relief.

They surrounded Old Wood, jumping up and down excitedly. With this small rich Ore area, they could complete their daily tasks at least twice as fast!

This meant more pure filth pill, longer lifespans, and greater hope!

Old Wood stood rooted to the spot, feeling immense relief. He was happy that he had secured this rich Ore area, but his heart was filled with profound doubt.

He clearly felt himself running out of strength, so why did such a powerful force suddenly erupt within his body at the last moment?

And even restore his injuries?

That power was pure and mighty, completely unlike his own. He had never felt that kind of power before.

Could it be... someone helped him in secret?

His gaze subconsciously swept through the crowd, finally landing on the young man nearby who was still numbly swinging his pickaxe: Lu Hao.

Lu Hao's movements were mechanical and precise, and his face was expressionless. He looked just like an ordinary miner, with nothing special about him.

But waves were already stirring in Old Wood's heart. He had a faint premonition... He had just arrived at Chaotic Soul Mountain, unfamiliar with the place, and besides a few teammates, he only knew Lu Hao. He couldn't think of anyone else who would help him.

But this young man's cultivation seemed to be only Nascent Void First Level... To conceal his origins, Lu Hao had already hidden his cultivation before entering the teleportation array, and had even disguised a portion of foul Qi within his body.

This way, unless someone's cultivation far surpassed his own, they certainly wouldn't be able to see his true strength, and would only assume he was a native of the Netherworld.
