Su Qingxue held Lu Chen, the touch on her fingertips was cold, and the breath in his body was like a candle in the wind, so weak that it made her panic.
She looked at the man in front of her, covered in blood and almost unsteady on his feet, and her heart was filled with a huge shock and indescribable admiration.
In the middle of the Meridian Opening realm, she reverse-slayed the Holy Son who was so terrifying that it froze her soul. This was simply a deed recorded in myths and legends!
Lu Chen leaned on Su Qingxue, and every breath he took caused pain like tearing through his whole body, and his lungs twitched violently like an old bellows.
Every muscle in his body was wailing. The empty Dantian and the nearly exhausted sea of consciousness reminded him that he had reached his own limit, and even maintaining consciousness became extremely difficult.
"System! Use Shou Yuan to repair it!" Lu Chen roared silently deep in his consciousness.
[Command confirmation. Consume Demon Devil Lifespan 200 years to start deep repair.]
[Current Demon Devil Lifespan:1800.]
A warm but majestic energy instantly injected into his dry meridians and damaged internal organs, like a sudden burst of rain after a long drought.
The severe pain subsided quickly, and the wound felt numb and itchy. It began to heal visibly to the naked eye, and the nearly exhausted True Qi also began to breed and circulate again.
In just a few breaths, although Lu Chen's face was still pale and his breath was still a little disordered, his body had restored its basic ability to move.
He took a deep breath, stabilized his somewhat frivolous steps, gently pushed away Su Qingxue's support, and stood up straight.
"Let's go!" His voice was hoarse, but it carried an unquestionable decision.
The Holy Son has been executed, and the balance here has been broken. Rebirth Hall will never give up.
Su Qingxue nodded immediately, followed closely, and the two of them quickly evacuated towards the passage they came from.
However, not long after they stepped into the passage, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently!
"Boom--!"
Above our heads, huge rocks began to crack and fall, making a deafening noise.
The stone pillars supporting the space broke and collapsed in the groaning sound, and the entire underground space seemed like a dying beast, beginning its final crazy struggle.
"The space is going to collapse!" Su Qingxue exclaimed, his face turned pale.
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he instantly understood that after the death of the Holy Son, the alien space maintained by his power was rapidly collapsing.
He grabbed Su Qingxue's wrist, and the two of them turned into two blurry shadows, weaving dangerously between falling boulders, and ran desperately toward the depths of the passage.
But the speed of collapse was beyond imagination!
The passage behind them was shattered as if being swallowed by a giant beast. Huge rocks smashed down, smoke filled the air, and the escape route was completely sealed in the blink of an eye!
"Senior! The road is gone!" Su Qingxue's voice trembled with a hint of despair. There was a dead end in front of him, and destruction was approaching behind him.
Lu Chen suddenly stopped and looked around at the shrinking space, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Sitting there and waiting for death is the only way to die!
"System! Deduction!" He communicated to the system without hesitation.
[Command confirmation. Environmental scanning... Space structure stability analysis... Deduction in progress... Consumes Demon Devil Lifespan 100 years.]
[Current Demon Devil Lifespan: 1700. Deduction completed! [Desperate shuttle plan] generated!]
A clear and direct stream of information came to mind:
[Violent barrier breaking]: Use Shadow Short Blade's advantage, combined with physical strength, to forcibly tear apart the relatively fragile flesh and blood barrier on the side and enter its internal network.
[Danger Shuttle]: Use Movement Method to move through complex and unstable internal passages and avoid major collapse areas.
[Energy Breakthrough]: Look for internal energy gathering nodes and use their explosive power to forcefully break through the possible blockade of the Hundred Demon Cave exit.
The plan is simple and crude, and every step is on the edge of life and death!
"Follow me!" Lu Chen shouted, no longer hesitating.
The muscles in his arms were tense, and the True Qi in his body that had just recovered was poured crazily into the short blade. The blade made a low buzz and stabbed violently at the wall of flesh and blood next to it that was constantly squirming and full of blood vessels!
"Pfft--!"
Stinky blood spattered out, and a huge crack was cut open in the wall, revealing a deeper and thicker passage behind it.
Lu Chen pulled Su Qingxue and jumped in without hesitation!
The environment inside is even more suffocating, with viscous liquid, slippery tube walls, and a strong smell of fishy sweetness and corruption in the air.
Lu Chen quickly traveled through the winding passages, sensing the vibrations from the outside world and avoiding areas that were about to collapse one after another.
Su Qingxue endured extreme physical discomfort and inner fear and followed Lu Chen closely, not daring to relax at all.
Suddenly, Lu Chen sensed an abnormal energy fluctuation coming from the front.
"Found it!"
With a sharp look in his eyes, he accelerated suddenly and rushed towards the source of energy.
It was a huge sarcoma wrapped and pulsating with countless blood vessels, and contained violent energy inside.
There is no time to hesitate! Lu Chen gathered all the remaining strength, and with the help of the forward momentum, he stepped hard on the sarcoma!
"Explode!"
Boom!!!
The tumor suddenly exploded, and the violent energy mixed with the flesh and blood fragments, forming a huge shock wave that broke through the barrier in front and opened a path to the light!
The two figures were enveloped by this force and shot out from the twisted exit of Hundred Demon Cave like cannonballs, falling heavily to the open space outside the cave, splashing a cloud of dust.
"Ahem... we... are we really out?" Su Qingxue lay on the ground, greedily breathing in the cool, free air from the outside world, his voice carrying the trembling and disbelief of the aftermath.
Lu Chen knelt on one knee, panting violently. Although his injuries were repaired, the continuous extreme explosions and final escape still made him feel exhausted.
It was then that they noticed that the area outside Hundred Demon Cave had already been surrounded by crowds.
Demon Suppression Division warriors of all levels, Nanling Prefecture elders and disciples of all major Aristocratic Clans, and almost everyone who participated in this Hidden Dragon Trial, gathered here.
They were originally looking for a way out in this Tibetan land.
That terrifying Yao Qi pressure makes them all feel scared now.
When Lu Chen and Su Qingxue burst out of the hole like bloody men in an extremely embarrassing but shocking way, all the sounds stopped abruptly.
Countless eyes focused on the two of them instantly, full of astonishment, exploration, and deep shock.
After a brief moment of dead silence, the crowd exploded!
"It's Lu Banner Sergeant! He's still alive!"
"Oh my God! Did they come out from inside?!"
"The terrible pressure inside just now disappeared... Could it be..."
"Isn't it possible? With the two of them, they actually..."
Exclaims, questions, and gasps came and went.
Everyone is aware of the drastic changes that have taken place in Hundred Demon Cave, and how terrifying the aura of the Holy Son is.
Now, Lu Chen has come out alive, and the aura of the Holy Son has completely disappeared. What this means is self-evident!
Some Aristocratic Clan disciples who originally had contempt or even hostility towards Lu Chen, now the arrogance and disdain on their faces have long since disappeared without a trace.
Their eyes became extremely complicated as they looked at the figure who, although embarrassed, was still standing with his back straight.
It was a mixture of awe, disbelief, and a hint of unyielding solemnity.
Being able to kill Judge may be said to be luck or trickery.
But being able to survive from that kind of destructive pressure and desperate situation, and to be able to kill the terrifying Holy Son, is something that cannot be explained by luck.
This is absolute strength, an iron-clad fact that is enough to crush them all!
Hidden Dragon Trial, who else can compete with him for the top spot? Besides him, who else is qualified to get a hold of the demon treasure?
Several Aristocratic Clan disciples who had ridiculed Lu Chen before subconsciously avoided his gaze, their faces burning.
At this moment, all doubts and dissatisfaction completely disappeared in front of the blood-stained and cold reality.
Lu Chen, this name, and the miracle he achieved today, will surely resound throughout Nanling Prefecture!
