239 Go on Undeterred by the Dangers Ahead
Shen Rulin felt his hair stand on end!
However, Shen Rulin was the deputy general of the Five Elements Imperial Guards after all. At the critical moment, even if his mind was blank, he still instinctively drew his sword to block.
However, to Shen Rulin’s surprise, his sword blocked nothing. He was very sure that the cold light was charging at him, but he felt no impact on the sword.
The cold light passed through his sword like a phantom and swept across his neck. Strangely, he did not feel any pain, but a little cold.
“What’s going on?”
Shen Rulin was puzzled. Almost at the same time, three more cold lights swept towards him!
Seeing this, Shen Rulin hurriedly lifted his sword to block again, but there was still nothing.
“You are quite fast!”
Lin Ran’s voice sounded from behind. At the same time, a reddish orange light dissipated the surrounding darkness.
Shen Rulin turned around and saw Lin Ran standing five steps behind him. There were several burning sword energies circling around him.
Seeing the burning sword energy, Shen Rulin’s eyes widened. “This is the Five Elements Sword Technique? Why do you know this?”
“I used to be a mountain guardian of Mount Sword. Every year, I have to use the Five Elements Sword Technique to reinforce the seal on the mountaintop.”
Lin Ran chuckled and replied casually, “Speaking of which, I didn’t expect you to react so quickly. I really underestimated you in the past.”
“In the Five Elements Imperial Guards, we are all trained to react as fast as possible!”
Now that he saw Lin Ran, Shen Rulin realized that Lin Ran was just testing him.
As if sensing a hostility coming out of Shen Rulin, Lin Ran smiled and explained, “Don’t misunderstand. This is just a small test. If you can’t even react quickly, I’ll really leave you behind.”
Shen Rulin frowned slightly. “In that case… Do you know what that cold light is?”
“Hmm… It’s a kind of sword intent.”
Lin Ran thought for a moment and explained, “When the sword intent is condensed to a certain extent, it will appear in a specific environment, just like a ghost. However, this sword intent is only superficial and is harmless to humans.
Hearing this, Shen Rulin immediately recalled the feeling of being struck by the cold light on his neck just now. Other than feeling a little cold, he really felt nothing.
However, even though he understood this, the vigilance in Shen Rulin’s eyes did not disappear. He continued to stare at Lin Ran and asked, “Since there’s no danger, why did you test my reaction speed?”
“Because I’m afraid of the tragedy happening again.”
Lin Ran pointed up with a finger. “Previously, I was confused by those illusions, so I accidentally injured Zhao Ziming. I hope that if the same thing happens again, you can dodge it in time.”
“Got it.”
Shen Rulin nodded and put down his guard. Then, he smiled apologetically at Lin Ran. “I can’t work together with someone I don’t trust, so I asked you a few more questions just now. Please forgive me for being rude.”
Lin Ran smiled and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. A fire sword energy suddenly flew towards Shen Rulin!
However, Shen Rulin was not on guard at all. He turned around with the fire sword energy and saw a cold light flash in the darkness behind him. Almost at the same time as he turned around, the cold light collided with the fire sword energy!
As expected, the fire sword energy missed the target and circled back to Lin Ran. The cold light swept across Shen Rulin like a cold wind in late autumn.

“You are also quite brave.”
Lin Ran praised again, but Shen Rulin didn’t say anything. He frowned and looked at the darkness around him, his eyes filled with confusion.
When the fire sword energy flew past just now, he also used the light of the fire to observe where he was.
At first, Shen Rulin thought that this should be a cave or stone room. In short, the space was not especially spacious. However, at a glance, he realized that this place was much larger than he had imagined.
Although this surprised him, it was not strange. What was really strange was the cave entrance above his head.
When Shen Rulin jumped down just now, he felt that he had only fallen about ten feet. However, when he observed his surroundings, he realized that the three-foot-wide cave entrance had become the size of a palm. Was this place that deep?
As he thought to himself, Shen Rulin recalled the process of falling again. Although he could not pinpoint the depth of this cave, he was certain that it was definitely not more than twenty feet. In other words…
“Lin Ran.”
Shen Rulin shouted in a low voice, his expression suddenly turning solemn. “We have to leave this place immediately! This place is strange. The stone here seems to be able to move on its own!”
Lin Ran was confused. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“It’s true!”
Shen Rulin pointed at the cave entrance above and said anxiously, “This place is less than 20 feet from the ground. That entrance is definitely not so small. The only possibility is that it has moved!”
Lin Ran looked up. At this moment, the entrance was no longer as big as a fist, but he was not anxious at all. Instead, he looked helpless.
“The stone is not moving, but we are.”
As Lin Ran spoke, he raised his finger, and a few fire sword energies spiraled up. The flames swept all the way to the entrance of the cave. Only then did Shen Rulin realize that they were already more than 100 feet away from the entrance!
Seeing this, Shen Rulin was puzzled. “What’s going on? Could it be that this cave can move?”
“…That’s pretty much it.”
Lin Ran nodded with a strange expression. Before Shen Rulin could ask further, he said, “It’s very complicated, so don’t ask. In short, if you want to save your people, come with me.”
Shen Rulin hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Can I find the other brothers of the Golden Guards if I follow you?”
“Well…”
Lin Ran was speechless. “To be honest, I don’t know where your brothers are or even if they’re still alive, but if we can solve the problem at the root, at least we can prevent more people from missing.”
If it were anyone else, Lin Ran would definitely not tell the truth. However, Shen Rulin was a martial artist, so Lin Ran believed that he could understand.
As expected, when Shen Rulin heard this, he looked disappointed only for a moment. Then, he looked at Lin Ran and asked seriously, “Tell me, what should I do?”
“Wait.”
Lin Ran shrugged and replied helplessly, “I don’t know what will happen next.”
“But if I’m not wrong, as long as we wait patiently for a while, we’ll see the person hiding in the dark since he is the one who controls Zhao Ziming to guide us here.”
