These Netherfire truly possess the power to devour the same type of Martial Technique! Previously, Huang Yao mentioned it, and Cheng Ze was somewhat skeptical. Now it seems that his Fire Cloud Martial Technique, when released, only serves to empower the Ghost Fire without having any effect!
Seeing this, Zong Nan became anxious as well. Countless Vital Energy surged out. Although he did not practice Thunder-type combat techniques, at this moment he was like a cornered beast fighting back; waiting for death was certain, so he might as well fight! The waves of energy he unleashed were incredibly powerful, showcasing his full strength at the late stage of the Origin Martial Realm!
As he made his move, there was not a hint of restraint! The rolling waves of energy surged forth like a mighty ocean, crashing towards the Ghost Fire! The red-hot and ominous spirit body was struck by this overwhelming force and was forced back several steps!
Cheng Ze cheered loudly upon seeing this! It seemed there was still hope! However, Huang Yao shook his head in despair and said, "It's useless! Look! These spirits are not harmed at all! Pushing them back only buys us time but yields no real results!"
Cheng Ze felt dissatisfied upon hearing this. It was one thing for him not to help, but to stand by and make sarcastic comments was another! Was there really no hope?
But then Zong Nan, who had just unleashed his full power, weakly said, "What he said is correct. I exerted my full strength but only achieved this result; it's completely a waste of Vital Energy!"
"This!" Cheng Ze's eyes widened in disbelief at the situation before him! They had just escaped from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons not long ago; could it be that they were about to meet their end here after only a few days? Remembering how spirited everyone had been at the Celebration Tower, thinking that Blue Stream Villa would reward them,
it now appeared that those despicable scoundrels had long known the secret here. The reason they were willing to expend vast resources was to confuse various Sects and profit from it!
"Bastards! If I don't make it out alive, even if that old man Lan is a legendary Martial Saint, I'll make sure he doesn't recognize his own mother!" Cheng Ze exclaimed angrily!
Huang Ge, relying on his identity as the heir of the Qin State, looked down on these fellows from the bottom of his heart. Hearing Cheng Ze boast even in dire straits made him sneer coldly: "If you can chop him up so badly that his mother doesn't recognize him, I'll acknowledge you as my father!"
The blatant mockery provoked Cheng Ze into a furious outburst; his eyes turned blood-red, and the flames of his Crimson Flame Twin Blades blazed fiercely, creating an explosive atmosphere!
"Enough! What time is it? Still bickering among ourselves? Instead of wasting energy fighting each other, we should think of a way out! Those Ghost Fires are about to break through Elder Brother's energy waves!" Huang Yao knew that at such a critical moment, conflict with Cheng Ze and the others would only worsen their situation.
Giving Huang Ge a warning glance, Huang Yao gritted his teeth and said, "For now, we can only defend ourselves. When we find an opportunity, we charge out!"
This plan sounded decent but was worse than merely buying time because defense is the lowest form of strategy. At this moment, they were already like cornered beasts; if they continued to retreat blindly, it would only embolden those Ghost Fires and attract more attention from the ominous spirits!
However, aside from this plan, no one could come up with a better strategy! Thus, the arrogant Huang Ge stopped talking back. With a tremor in his body, he unleashed his cultivation power and pushed both palms forward! An incredibly pure Spirit Essence spread out!
The Spirit Essence manifested in particle form! Each particle represents the power of Source cultivated by Huang Ge over many years! Although these Source particles are small, each one is capable of triggering a significant explosive force! At this moment, with such a large number of Source particles gathered together, it is undoubtedly even more terrifying!
"This idiot! Disperse!" Huang Yao was unable to stop his brother's reckless actions in time. He had only suggested a temporary defense, never expecting that this foolish one would reveal his most powerful move right away! But that wasn't the main issue!
As brothers, he deeply understood the power of the gathered Source energy from Huang Ge. This Martial Technique was their family's ancestral skill, known as Chaotic Star Explosion! It is a large-scale killing move! Such a technique is usually reserved for life-and-death situations or mutual destruction!
Releasing such a powerful move would inevitably consume all of one's internal strength!
In a moment of desperation, Huang Ge, not wanting to be consumed by the Ghost Fire, shouted and sacrificed his long-accumulated killing move!
"Chaotic Star Explosion! Explode for me!" With this command, the Source particles radiating starlight all revealed mottled white light! Then, countless white lights cracked open like pebbles shattering! The resulting force was an earth-shattering explosion!
The booming sound echoed through the air! The entire Underground Palace seemed to tremble! Cheng Ze and Zong Nan were so shocked that they were forced back several dozen meters, crashing heavily against the stone wall behind them!
With two dull thuds, it felt like being struck by arrows! If it weren't for Huang Yao's timely warning allowing them to activate their Spirit Essence defenses, the recoil alone would have been enough to knock them unconscious! Even so, they were left utterly dumbfounded!
Because Huang Ge, who appeared unassuming, unleashed an incredibly terrifying fighting power! They witnessed that the Netherfire that had previously been unscathed by Cheng Ze's strike and had remained unfazed despite Zong Nan's full-force attack instantly dissipated!
No wonder—if such an explosion couldn't deliver a devastating blow to them, then it would be unworthy of being called a late-stage human powerhouse of the Origin Martial Realm!
"Is this the foundation of the Royal Family? It's too terrifying!" Cheng Ze's family was also a prominent family with influence in Ning Cang City comparable to the Feng Family, but he believed they could not produce a Martial Technique of this caliber!
Zong Nan felt similarly inadequate; his full effort couldn't compare to this move at all! Just as both were lamenting their shortcomings, Huang Yao—who was furious and frustrated while Ye Feng remained unconscious—shouted angrily, "Can you be any more foolish!"
This remark was naturally directed at Huang Ge! He had been quite pleased with himself and was just about to mock the two behind him when he unexpectedly faced his brother's furious reprimand. He couldn't help but feel some anger; after all, in front of outsiders, he was called an idiot and scolded for being foolish.
Did he not consider him a brother at all?
However, just as he held such thoughts, he quickly realized he was truly mistaken. Turning his head, although dozens of Netherfire were instantly extinguished, the tremendous commotion attracted even more Ghost Fire's attention! They saw Huang Yao and the others as if they had discovered a new continent, disregarding the disappearance of their previous companions and charging forward frantically!
Huang Ge panicked; having just used his ultimate move, he had no strength left to defend himself. Huang Yao, quick-witted, couldn't bear to let her idiot brother die like this! She rushed forward, grabbing his collar, and shouted at Zong Nan and Cheng Ze, "Fight with all your might; I'll find a way out!"
No sooner said than done! Before Zong Nan and Cheng Ze could fully react, Huang Yao had pulled Huang Ge behind them. This made the two of them inwardly grumble: Damn it! Using us as cannon fodder while speaking so grandly!
However, they knew that at this moment, only unity could lead to victory. Thus, Cheng Ze stood in front, aware that Zong Nan had no more strength to unleash. He sheathed his Crimson Flame Twin Blades and clenched his fists tightly, channeling True Energy as he shouted madly:
"Come on! Let me show you what it means for fists to be mightier than blades!" With that, he began to throw punches at the fastest speed possible! It wasn't even considered a Martial Technique; he was simply unleashing the purest power from his Dantian! Yet it was also the most powerful force!
The chaotic Spirit Essence seemed weak at first glance, but after accumulation and continuous layering, it bore some resemblance to the Chaotic Star Explosion! Those punches were incredibly fierce; although they couldn't inflict much damage on Netherfire, the shockwaves temporarily pushed them back.
This kid learned quickly; knowing he couldn't use his signature Fire Element Martial Technique, he instead mimicked Zong Nan and Huang Ge's dual attacks!
Meanwhile, Huang Yao tugged at Huang Ge's collar like she was holding a chick, impatiently feeling around the wall for something! Zong Nan couldn't help but shout, "What are you groping for? You're not a woman! What are you doing?"
Even Huang Ge couldn't help but glance at his brother a few times, thinking that this was indeed his brother; even at a time like this, he could still...
However, Huang Yao immediately responded, "If you don't understand, don't speak carelessly! I've seen in ancient texts that such Underground Palaces are usually filled with traps; there are plenty of hidden compartments and doors! Searching the walls is the easiest way to find something!"
Although this explanation was somewhat forced, Zong Nan and the others stubbornly believed it! After all, they didn't read much!
"Damn it! Hurry up! I'm running out of strength!" Poor Cheng Ze had become an unstoppable punching machine! However, human strength is always limited; facing endless Netherfire, he truly couldn't hold on for much longer!
Zong Nan grew increasingly anxious as he looked at Ye Feng still unconscious behind them and couldn't help but murmur: What an ancestor! At a time like this! How can you still be sleeping?
Ye Feng still did not understand what had possessed him. He only knew that among those present, the one who could potentially turn the tide of battle and save their lives was probably Ye Feng! Although Ye Feng's cultivation was similar to theirs, he had experienced the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.
Zong Nan and Cheng Ze both knew that this guy's realm was definitely not as simple as it appeared! They even believed that a beginner in the Gangwu Realm standing in front of Ye Feng could lose! Based on this unreasonable trust, they were both extremely angry and worried about Ye Feng's current unconsciousness.
Little did they know, at that moment, Ye Feng had entered a peculiar state! Just as Huang Yao had said, he was indeed affected by seeing the lizard, which captivated his mind. His Soul Thought was involuntarily drawn into the stone wall, leaving him without consciousness and naturally unconscious; however, it wasn't as exaggerated as Huang Yao described!
This insidious fellow certainly preferred to think positively about his situation. However, relying on Ye Feng at this moment was definitely not feasible. He groped along the wall for a long time, and his inner anxiety was even more intense than that of the others!
As a noble heir of the Royal Family, having survived through the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, and being a Core Disciple of a Heavenly Level Sect, his ambitions were far greater than this! Dying in an unknown place like this would be too unjust!
"Brother! Why don't we take this opportunity to escape and leave them here to wait for death?" The weak Huang Ge used his last Vital Energy to transmit his voice! He thought that since Cheng Ze could still hold on for a while, why not take this chance to slip away?
Huang Yao shook his head and replied, "Going back is also a dead end. Right now, we can only huddle together for a chance at survival. Don't speak anymore!"
His brother's level of foolishness had surpassed his intelligence. In that moment, Huang Yao even considered that he would rather take Cheng Ze, who had combat strength, than drag along someone like you!
In the face of true life and death, who could care about so much?
