Mr. Li asked, "Will you agree to it or not?"
Xu Feng agreed at once!
Mr. Li said, "Third Baby, don't you want to think it over?"
Xu Feng said, "No need."
He had little to consider. Now it seemed that this round was the Immortal Elixir trial.
After that came the final trial: the Ancient Corpse beneath the Third Grandpa Temple.
Then all three trials would be over.
Nothing would bind him to this place anymore.
Mr. Li could retire with his work done, and so could Xu Feng. Zhao San's perfect life would take another smooth step forward!
Mr. Li smiled. The more he looked at Xu Feng, the more pleased he was.
Just then, a dog barked behind them. One of the Earthbreaking masters called out, "Old Third, what are you doing over there?"
At the sound, Mr. Li's expression changed sharply. He shot away like the wind, turning toward the rear before he could get a word out.
Sensing trouble, Xu Feng immediately drew his blade.
Something had happened!
When Xu Feng turned, darkness filled his vision!
It surged in like a tide, swallowing Xu Feng and the trees around him in an instant!
And it had substance. It blew against Xu Feng like wind, forcing him back a step.
Everything around him became indistinct, as though he were looking at flowers through dense fog!
They really dug something up!?
Mr. Li's voice came from the distance, yet it sounded impossibly far away. The darkness held a strange power that made everything eerie.
Even Mr. Li's voice, which Xu Feng knew so well, sounded like a woman's. It seemed to drift through the air, thin and utterly lifeless.
"Stay where you are! Don't let anything near you! Stand back to back! Don't leave your backs exposed!
