After passing through several corners and down a sloping passage, the two arrived at the dungeon mentioned by Dragon Slayer.
In fact, this was also a stone chamber, with many ventilation holes opened in the ceiling. The Spiritual Energy emitted by Earth Escape was transmitted to the outside through these vents. Due to the numerous ventilation holes, Lingfeng had no way of determining the exact location of Earth Escape; he never expected it to come from just one place.
"Hero, that person... your friend is inside!" Dragon Slayer stood in front of a stone door, pointing at it.
"Open it!" Lingfeng retracted the Plum Blossom Dart and nudged Dragon Slayer.
Dragon Slayer dared not disobey and bent down slightly before approaching the stone door. There was no handle on the door, indicating it was another mechanism.
Dragon Slayer felt around the wall next to the stone door for a moment and seemed to find the mechanism. Just as he was about to activate it, he suddenly turned sharply and ran to the other side of the stone door, quickly feeling around above him. Suddenly, a hole appeared beneath his feet.
Before Lingfeng could react, Dragon Slayer had already fallen in. By the time Lingfeng tried to grab him, the hole had sealed shut.
Lingfeng angrily slapped the ground but received no response. He never expected that he had been tricked by Dragon Slayer.
"You little brat, didn't see that coming, did you? Just wait and suffer!" Dragon Slayer's voice came from one of the ventilation holes, sounding quite pleased with himself.
Lingfeng sighed impatiently, too lazy to pay attention to those vents. He pulled out the Connecting Rod and walked toward the stone door of the dungeon.
These stones were ordinary and could not compare to those made from Blazing Hell materials; Lingfeng didn't even need to use his Ivory Bone Knife.
"You better escape before I get out, or I will make you die a painful death!" Lingfeng glanced at the ventilation holes above him and said casually.
Dragon Slayer laughed twice but was about to say something when he suddenly heard a loud rumble. Dust began pouring out from the ventilation hole, causing him to cough violently.
"Idiot, what are you doing?" Dragon Slayer seemed to realize something was wrong and shouted anxiously toward the vent.
“Lingfeng” clapped his hands and glanced at the gravel on the ground. He then used “Gold Manipulation” to throw the gravel out through the vent.
“Dragon Slayer” was unaware that “Lingfeng” had this ability. While waiting for a reaction from inside, several pieces of gravel suddenly flew out without warning. The force felt as if they were thrown directly at him, causing injuries to his head and blood to ooze from his forehead.
Seeing a few drops of blood flow from the vent, “Lingfeng” knew he had hit his target. He said, “This is just a lesson for you. After I rescue my friend, there will be ten times the punishment waiting for you!” He stepped over the gravel and walked toward the dungeon.
The dungeon was quite spacious, and “Earth Escape” was hanging in one corner of the floor.
At this moment, “Earth Escape” had already reverted to its original form, hanging limply with its head down.
“Lingfeng” felt a pang of heartache and hurriedly approached to untie the ropes, cradling “Earth Escape” in his arms.
“Earth Escape, how are you?” “Lingfeng” asked with deep concern, looking at the child's face of “Earth Escape,” feeling as if his heart was being pierced by a knife.
“Lingfeng, you’re back! I knew you would come to save me!” Hearing “Lingfeng’s” voice seemed to bring hope to “Earth Escape,” who weakly opened its eyes and said feebly.
Tears streamed down “Lingfeng’s” face. Comparing the frail “Earth Escape” before him with the dashing figure that once made countless handsome men feel disheartened filled him with immense sadness.
“It’s okay now; I’m here to save you. Cheer up, we’ll fight our way out!” “Lingfeng” held “Earth Escape” tightly in his arms and spoke softly.
“Earth Escape” smiled weakly and nodded, saying, “Unfortunately, the Chaos Energy within me is almost depleted; I no longer have the strength to fight!”
Although Chaos Energy was an evil force, it provided “Earth Escape” with courage and strength in battle. At this moment, part of the Chaos Energy had been expelled from its body, weakening its combat ability. Additionally, being deep within the dungeon prevented it from absorbing sunlight or moonlight, leaving it increasingly empty inside.
“It’s alright; as long as you’re alive, we’ll fight side by side!” “Lingfeng” patted “Earth Escape’s” frail shoulder and comforted him with a smile.
In fact, “Lingfeng” was confident he could break out alone. Moreover, he had been in this place for quite some time now; Wan Shi Tong must have already found a way to come in.
"Earth Escape, I want to keep you safe for now and let you out once we're outside. You can also take a good rest!" Although Earth Escape had transformed back to its original form and was not very large, holding it was still somewhat inconvenient.
Earth Escape did not know where Lingfeng intended to place him, but he nodded in trust. At that moment, in his heart, Lingfeng was almost like a protective talisman, his source of reliance.
Even though Earth Escape had lived for a thousand years, he still had the heart of a child.
Lingfeng patted Earth Escape's head, then called out Earth Escape's name and said the word "collect." Earth Escape transformed into a beam of white light and entered Xuanji.
The torch illuminated the stone wall with a red glow, and the flames gradually weakened.
Lingfeng glanced around the ventilation shaft but did not sense any change in the airflow. His intuition told him that the ventilation shaft had been blocked, and the oxygen in the dungeon was gradually decreasing.
"How could they be so careless!" Only Dragon Slayer could pull off such a stunt, which made Lingfeng quite disdainful.
After a pause, Lingfeng took out the Connecting Rod and struck it against the stone door he had entered through with all his might. With a loud crash, a huge hole was smashed into the stone door.
Outside, Dragon Slayer and Red-Haired Demon stood at the entrance of the dungeon with a group of people, looking at Lingfeng in surprise.
"You’re still alive?" Lingfeng asked in confusion. He had thought that Wan Shi Tong should have come in by now and that these people would have been dealt with.
Dragon Slayer had expected Lingfeng to suffocate but was shocked to see that Lingfeng had actually broken open the dungeon's stone door. He scurried away like a mouse once again.
Red-Haired Demon, having experienced Lingfeng's Fire Control Technique before, recognized him but looked at Lingfeng without fear. Angrily, he said, "The leader took you in with good intentions, yet you don’t appreciate it. Not only did you deceive Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao, but do you also intend to betray us?"
Lingfeng curled his lips dismissively and retorted, "I never joined your Alliance in the first place; how could I betray you? Moreover, Hezi has already given Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao to me. How I choose to deal with them is none of your Alliance's business."
Red-Haired Demon was taken aback for a moment but couldn't find a way to counter him. Soon after, he became red-faced and shouted angrily, "You’re sharp-tongued! I don’t want to waste words with you; if you're going to fight, then use your real skills!"
As soon as the words left the mouth of the Red-Haired Demon, Lingfeng sat down on the ground without even glancing at him, seemingly disregarding him entirely. He pouted and said, "I've been waiting impatiently; why are you guys dragging this out?"
"You..." The Red-Haired Demon was about to step forward when the Dragon Slayer, who was hiding behind, suddenly grabbed the Red-Haired Demon's sleeve and reminded him, "His Fire Control Technique has improved significantly; you'd better be cautious!"
The Red-Haired Demon snorted, shaking off the Dragon Slayer's grip, and said sternly, "This kid can't amount to anything!"
Although the Dragon Slayer was the second brother of the Red-Haired Demon, his display of timidity truly annoyed the Red-Haired Demon.
"Don't underestimate me! Once I show my skills, it'll be too late for you to beg for mercy!" Lingfeng said while sitting on the ground, glancing at the Red-Haired Demon with a teasing tone.
The Red-Haired Demon had no interest in bantering with him. Without hesitation, he drew his treasured sword, gathered a surge of Spiritual Energy, and swung it toward Lingfeng's head.
Lingfeng had never fought against the Red-Haired Demon and was unsure of his cultivation level. Naturally, he did not dare to underestimate him. However, the Connecting Rod was already in Lingfeng's hand, so he made a move to block.
With two loud clangs, Lingfeng's expression changed instantly as the Connecting Rod vibrated violently and sank down significantly.
"I didn't expect this person's cultivation to be so high!" Lingfeng had exerted most of his strength to defend against that strike but was still left with numbness in his hands. He no longer dared to take things lightly.
The Red-Haired Demon let out a cold laugh, then retracted his sword and aimed it at Lingfeng's feet.
Lingfeng rolled away just in time to evade this attack but felt regretful for sitting there earlier; he was now in a very disadvantageous position.
It seemed that the Red-Haired Demon was merely toying with Lingfeng and had no intention of killing him outright. Therefore, he only used half of his speed and strength. Yet even that half was enough to make Lingfeng silently groan in distress.
"Wait!" Just as the Red-Haired Demon was about to continue his assault, Lingfeng quickly raised his hand to stop him.
The sword halted above Lingfeng's head, casting a cold light down toward his lower body.
Lingfeng took a step back, a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
"Do you have any last words?" the Red-Haired Demon asked with a mocking smile, looking at Lingfeng defiantly.
"Stop wasting time talking to him, just take him out!" Before Lingfeng could respond, the Dragon Slayer rushed out from the crowd, urging the Red-Haired Demon.
The Red-Haired Demon glanced impatiently at the Dragon Slayer but ignored him, focusing instead on Lingfeng.
Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief and nodded at the Red-Haired Demon. He began to flatter, saying, "Not bad, you're a true hero, much better than that Dragon Slayer." He then supported himself with one hand and stood up, adding, "What I meant is, I want to stand up!" and ran toward the dungeon.
The Red-Haired Demon was taken aback, realizing he had been tricked by Lingfeng, and angrily followed behind him.
At this moment, the floor of the dungeon was already covered with gravel, exactly what Lingfeng wanted.
"Wait," Lingfeng called out from inside the dungeon, stopping the Red-Haired Demon once again.
The Red-Haired Demon came to an abrupt halt, unsure of what Lingfeng was planning.
Lingfeng smirked coldly twice before putting his hands together and softly reciting an incantation. Then he swiftly raised his hands upward, causing the gravel on the ground to suddenly move. In an instant, several stone walls formed around the Red-Haired Demon and his companions.
