The reason why Shang Xia wanted to kill Murong Danran was very simple.
He didn't want others to know that he entered the coral forest and obtained the central formation diagram and phantom spirit beads of the "Landscape Phantom World".
The reason why Shang Xia turned around and fled now is also very simple.
With Murong Danran's martial arts mastery and the many secret techniques he had displayed, Shang Xia thought that it was impossible to kill him in a short period of time, but Murong Yuntian could definitely kill Murong Danran before he could.
Got there before.
Even if Murong Yuntian is seriously injured, he is still a master of the perfect martial arts realm. However, no matter how powerful Shang Xia is, he is only a second-level martial artist.
This essential gap is definitely not something that can bring the two of them to the same starting line just because of injuries.
What's more, there is a difficult Murong Danran!
Fortunately, Murong Danran also had selfish motives. He wanted to find the central formation diagram by controlling the phantom spirit beads, and further control the entire land of phantom spirits, so as to obtain the maximum benefit from it.
It is precisely because of this that Murong Danran found an uncle from the same clan this time. He was seriously injured and had not recovered, and because he had been undercover in Tongyou Academy for many years, Murong Yuntian was alone among the Yue Jihui and the Murong family!
Otherwise, once the central formation diagram and the phantom spirit bead are leaked, not only martial arts masters will come, but the fourth heaven may come.
If that time comes, Shang Xia may not even have a chance to struggle.
Of course, all Murong Danran's plans will surely come to nothing by then!
Therefore, Shang Xia immediately turned around and ran away without hesitation!
Murong Danran immediately turned around and chased after him without any hesitation!
Moreover, Murong Danran kept taunting loudly while chasing, trying to delay Shang Xia by irritating him, and also to give direction to Murong Yuntian who was chasing after him.
Murong Yuntian's laughter behind him became more and more urgent, and at the same time he got closer and closer.
At this speed, there is no possibility for Shang Xia to escape.
"Stop, you can't escape. Seeing that you have cut out the other four competitors in the five-surname family, I will beg my uncle to let you live. Why bother to struggle in vain?"
Murong Yuntian laughed wildly, while Shang Xia just ran away, turning a deaf ear to everything the other party said.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Ha, little bastard, it turns out it's you. It's useless for anyone to tell you this time. I will tell you to die today!"
Although Shang Xia turned his back to the direction of the sound, Murong Yuntian was able to recognize the identity of this person just by looking at his back - the merchant boy who had repeatedly frustrated him on Kaiyuan Peak and almost died on the spot!
"Oh my, you actually offended Uncle Yuntian Clan? Now you are hopeless. But I didn't expect that you are actually a descendant of the Shang family, one of the four major families in Tongyou City. It's really disrespectful! Then who are you?
How did you get in?"
Murong's indifferent voice came faintly to Shang Xia's ears: "The coral forest has been essentially blocked by the men of the five major families of the Rose Society. Not even your fourth-level heavenly warriors can rush in, and you, a second-level warrior, are
How did you appear here?"
"Unless... there is a secret passage in the Coral Forest!"
Shang Xia didn't make any response, but his speed increased even more, and he even began to directly attach the second form of his martial arts power to his legs to enhance his staggered steps.
"Haha, it seems I guessed it right!"
Murong's indifferent voice became clearer and clearer in Shang Xia's ears, and there was even a hint of uncontrollable pride and surprise in his tone: "Then let me guess again, is this secret passage in the Land of Landscape Phantoms?
And right under the water?”
"Hey, your escape route coincides with the route you just chased me with. Not only do you want to escape, but you also want to escape from the coral forest?"
As he said that, Murong Danran started laughing: "It seems that the secret passage is not only under the water, but also near the water area you just appeared in. Is it directly connected to the rockery you just entered from behind us?
?”
"It's a pity that you can't escape at all. Not only can you not escape, but you also exposed this secret underground passage. More importantly, you are the only one who came in, which means that until now, the secret of this passage leads to Youfeng."
No one else knows yet, right?"
Although Shang Xia still seemed to be running away with his head down, as if he was deaf to everything Murong Danran said.
But in fact, it was impossible to say that Shang Xia was not frightened. He did not expect that just by turning around and running away, Murong Danran could see so many things, and most of what he said was right.
The only thing is that Murong Danran misjudged Shang Xia's determination, therefore, he misjudged Shang Xia's true purpose!
Moreover, although there are underground passages, Shang Xia cannot get out now!
"Why talk nonsense with this son? Guan Chao died at the hands of this son. Although Li Zengyu is not a member of the Five Surnames, he is also a member of this association. His death was also caused by this son. He was the one who was killed by a certain family in Tongyou Peak.
We were besieged and severely injured, and this son also contributed a lot. Unless he dies, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
When the sound rang out, Murong Yuntian had already passed by Murong Danran, his body rose into the air, and he flew across a distance of dozens of feet like a bird before chasing after Shang Xia.
Masters of the martial arts realm gather their martial arts will, use their martial arts will to control the vitality in their bodies, and can briefly float in the air and escape.
Although it is far from being comparable to the fourth-level masters who can truly fly into the sky and escape from the earth, it is far superior to the body-lighting techniques of first- and second-level warriors.
"Uncle, be careful, this person is very cunning..."
Murong's indifferent reminder only received a chuckle from Murong Yuntian.
How could the chasm between Wuji Realm and Wuyi Realm warriors be filled with just a few tricks?
Shang Xia already knew that the crisis was coming, and immediately jumped into the pool without hesitation.
"He wants to escape-" Murong said calmly in shock.
"Escape? Where to escape?"
Murong Yuntian's figure suddenly floated into the air, and a long halberd suddenly appeared in his empty hand, and then he stabbed hard towards the place where Shang Xia fell into the water!
Boom——
A huge vitality halberd was pierced directly into the pool. The water surface suddenly sank, and the surrounding water was drained away, forming a three-foot-wide circular channel that penetrated directly to the bottom of the pool.
Shang Xia's originally submerged figure flashed away in this passage, and he could vaguely see that the circular shield surrounding his body had been punctured like a soap bubble!
The vitality halberd sank into the depths of the pool, and the circular channel that was originally opened on the water surface was immediately submerged again due to the backflow.
But Murong Yuntian had already captured Shang Xia's figure at that moment, and he immediately plunged into the water. There was energy around him, pushing away the surrounding water, and he quickly began to dive.
After Shang Xia entered the water, he immediately approached the steps and passage with the help of water-proof beads.
Unexpectedly, Murong Yuntian was chasing after him so fast that his vitality halberd almost missed his body and stabbed into the bottom of the pool.
Despite this, the shield formed by the water-proof beads was immediately pierced, and the water flow that was originally discharged immediately squeezed inward. The chaotic undercurrent instantly drove Shang Xia's body to hit the rockery's underwater stone wall.
But at this moment, the vitality halberd shot into the water hit the bottom of the pool hard, and a dark hole was instantly opened. The water suddenly sank, forming a huge vortex, and even drove Shang Xia's body towards the hole.
.
For a moment, Shang Xia almost drifted with the current, took the opportunity to leave through the hole at the bottom of the water, and left the coral forest.
But at this moment, the sound of water entering the water came from the water, making him suddenly wake up.
The body that was about to be moved was stabilized again by Shang Xia's sudden backhand slam.
Shang Xia only raised his head and glanced at Murong Yuntian after he entered the water.
Shang Xia immediately grabbed the stone wall with one hand, turned over and walked around a stone ridge, and landed on the steps along the stone wall at the bottom of the rockery.
Shang Xia didn't hesitate anymore and ran up some distance along the steps, directly entering the last section of the corridor that led directly to the heart of the rockery.
After Murong Yuntian entered the water, he soon saw the dark hole at the bottom of the pool swallowing the water.
However, the sinking vortex was unable to shake his figure at all. Murong Yuntian only glanced at it, then chased after Shang Xia and entered the corridor that led to the mountainside and was only accessible to one person.
This corridor is not too long but not straight, but slightly curved.
After Murong Yuntian entered the corridor for some distance and turned the corner, he soon saw a square pool more than ten feet above his head, with a faint light.
However, at this moment, Murong Yuntian, who was rising rapidly, suddenly stopped.
There is a human-shaped shadow standing there under the square and translucent water surface.
Shang Xia did not go out from the pool, but deliberately stayed there, commenting on Murong Yuntian who was close at hand with a pair of indifferent eyes.
In front of him, a jade talisman was being crushed in Shang Xia's hands.
Click!
The torrent of vitality that shocked even Murong Yuntian suddenly appeared. A huge spear of vitality formed in front of Shang Xia. The thick spear body almost occupied the entire corridor. The cold tip of the spear was pointed at Murong Yuntian, making him unable to avoid it.
Avoidable!
Third-level martial talisman—hanging gun!
It is a talisman hanging gun that seals a wisp of martial arts will of Shang Ke, who is also in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Three Realms!
