Inside the Underground Cave.
Bolts of lightning fell one after another. Even with Protective Spiritual Light shielding him, Chen Mu was still jolted until he bared his teeth in pain.
He felt as though countless ants were burrowing through his body, painful and unbearably itchy.
"Finger Points to Steel!" Chen Mu gritted his teeth and activated his mana.
An invisible Strange Force enveloped a half-man-deep pit beside him.
Then, the Dark Moon Blade flashed into view and followed the Strange Force as it viciously slashed at the bottom of the pit.
Clang!
With an odd sound like metal striking metal, shattered stones flew everywhere, yet the pit was only cut another finger's breadth deeper.
At the same time, a Kuishui Yinlei fell from above.
Chen Mu helplessly raised his Spiritual Light.
Crackle!
The Yin Thunder dissipated, but arcs of electricity still flickered across his body.
"Before I can dig the tunnel out, I'll be roasted inside and out first. Tsk..." Chen Mu bitterly summoned the Gray Wall.

"Even if I couldn't erase it completely, I could at least suppress more of it. Sigh..."
He had never expected Sun Jian to set up a teleportation Prohibition underground. To avoid the chaos, he had plunged underground—straight into a cage.
"It was set up beforehand, and the Prohibition was activated right when Liyang Dao attacked the mountain. The timing was too precise. Sun Jian may have known about this attack in advance."
"I just don't know whether he learned of it early through reliable intelligence or colluded with Liyang Dao."
"I only hope Mist Smoke Mountain can hold out a while longer and make that old bastard arrive a little later."
