Sword Qi crisscrossed the sky, piercing through one lava behemoth after another.
These fellows looked quite intimidating in terms of cultivation, but their actual strength was only so-so—still within Ye Lin's acceptable range.
Dense Sword Qi swept back and forth, and the ringing cries of swords echoed endlessly between heaven and earth. One lava behemoth after another was blasted apart, their lives ruthlessly reaped by the Sword Qi.
Xuan Su held a chessboard in his hand. With every chess piece he set down, a lava behemoth would turn to flying ash.
"Don't waste time here."
"Let's search around first."
With that, Ye Lin broke away from the lava behemoths and headed forward. Xuan Su nodded behind him; as several chess pieces fell, two lava behemoths were suppressed and slain on the spot.
Seeing how overwhelmingly powerful the two were, a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the two women behind them.
Perhaps they truly had a chance to get out this time.
They had originally fallen into despair, but the two men's formidable strength gave them a sliver of hope once more.
"Just as they said—nothing but volcanoes, as far as the eye can see. There's nothing else."
As they traveled, what Ye Lin saw was exactly as the two women had described.
Volcanoes upon volcanoes, and nothing else.
Well, aside from lava behemoths all over the ground.
"Could the exit be above?"
After walking for a while, Ye Lin gave up searching.
The two women had explored this place for tens of thousands of epochs without finding an exit. How could he possibly find one in such a short time?
If there was nothing below, then what about above?
In an instant, Ye Lin transformed into a streak of sword light and shot straight into the heavens.
