"Old Ji, if you keep holding back, the two of us will die here today!" Zheng Chengan shouted as thousands of sword beams erupted from his body.
Ji Lutian smiled bitterly. "Why wouldn't I hold back? After all, we're all humans, and there's no deep hatred between us. Why would I kill anyone?"
Boom!
The seal in the air plunged a thousand feet, almost smashing the Demon Subduing Pagoda to the ground.
The seal's powerful pressure made the surrounding air seem to materialize. Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian felt a little short of breath. If not for the fact that their cultivation was high enough, this pressure would probably have made them fall to the ground.
Ji Lutian sighed. Now that Tang Qianluo was in a fit of anger, he definitely wouldn't listen to his explanation. It seemed that he could only escape first and find an opportunity to explain later.
Boom!
The light on Ji Lutian's body increased again, and the power of the Demon Subduing Pagoda increased greatly. It kept rising against the seal.
Tang Qianluo snorted coldly. "Ji Lutian! You've severed your cultivation. You're not even at the Grotto-Heaven realm now. Even with the power of a divine weapon, how long can you last?!"
"I've said it before. This is the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Here, I am the heavens!"
He raised his hand and pressed it down. The seal that had just risen suddenly pressed down a thousand feet.
A creaking sound came from Ji Lutian's body, and blood instantly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Old Ji!" Zheng Chengan shouted and pointed his sword at the sky. Countless sword beams collided with the seal.
Boom!
The sword beams and the seal collided with a deafening sound, and a powerful shock wave spread in all directions.
Zheng Chengan supported Ji Lutian with one hand and swung his sword with the other. He kept retreating, and the sword light set up defenses in front of him. But under the pressure of the seal, these defenses collapsed one by one, and the remaining force hit Zheng Chengan's chest heavily.
Zheng Chengan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Sword light soared and finally forced the seal back hundreds of feet.
Tang Qianluo stood in midair with one hand behind his back and a proud expression on his face. "Zheng Chengan, Ji Lutian! You have no hope in my territory. If you don't surrender now, everything will be in vain if you die!"
Pui!
Zheng Chengan spat out a mouthful of blood. "You're just relying on the power of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. You're not the master of the grotto-heaven. You're just borrowing its power. What's there to be proud of? If you have the ability, go out and fight me for three hundred rounds!
"If I can't beat you until your parents don't recognize you, I, Zheng Chengan, will take your surname!"
"Hmph, what can you expect from a hog but a grunt?!" Tang Qianluo snorted. "I want to see how stubborn you can be!"
Tang Qianluo's body glowed. On the small seal in his palm, rays of light connected heaven and earth. The entire Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven seemed to come alive in an instant.
Between heaven and earth, visible rays of light descended and wrapped around Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian.
Zheng Chengan's and Ji Lutian's expressions were extremely solemn. The two of them looked at each other, and Ji Lutian sighed.
"Let's fight," Ji Lutian said.
"Let's fight!" Zheng Chengan gritted his teeth. "Damn Tang Qianluo, I really want to burn down his grotto-heaven!"
Before he could finish, there was a loud bang in the distance, and then flames shot into the sky.
Zheng Chengan's expression froze.
Ji Lutian looked at Zheng Chengan speechlessly. Did what he say come true?
When the flames soared into the sky, Tang Qianluo's expression changed, and he became furious. "You actually have an accomplice!"
"That's right, Tang Qianluo. Your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven has already been occupied by us. If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently. Otherwise, I will set your grotto-heaven on fire!" Zheng Chengan laughed loudly.
He didn't care who set the fire. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. He didn't like Tang Qianluo now. Zheng Chengan was happy that someone was setting fire to the grotto-heaven.
"You deserve to die!" Tang Qianluo was furious. His aura surged, and the seal smashed down.
Gruu--
Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian spat out blood and were sent flying thousands of feet away again.
"Tang Qianluo, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Zheng Chengan roared.
Before he could finish, another fire rose in the distance.
Even Zheng Chengan was shocked. He even suspected that he had really brought accomplices.
"Did you see that? Try hitting me again!" Although Zheng Chengan was a little puzzled, he still laughed loudly. "I dare you to continue acting so arrogantly. Now you know how powerful I am, right? More fire!"
Boom!
There was another sound, and several kilometers away from the two previous fires, another fire rose.
Zheng Chengan's eyes lit up. Damn it. Why didn't I realize before that I have such an ability?
Ji Lutian glanced at Zheng Chengan and asked with his eyes, You arranged reinforcements?
Didn't you arrange it? Zheng Chengan replied with his eyes.
They both shook their heads, confusion in their eyes.
If they didn't arrange this, then who did it?
Could it be Tang Qianluo's enemy?
Speaking of which, there were really a few grotto-heavens that didn't get along with the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Which one was so courageous? The grotto-heavens had just appeared, but they came over to set fire?
