Chapter 705: Chapter 705: A Group of Core Formation Cultivators Break into the Mine!

The Xuanming Ice Snake paused and turned back to give Lu Chen a deep look.

It guessed this journey might be one without return, so it contemplated expelling the Ice Spirit Pearl to return it to Lu Chen.

"Xiaobai, aren’t you leaving?"

At that moment, Chu Zhongtian stopped in his tracks, a Qi Blood Pill that Lu Chen had refined for him held in his mouth, to replenish the Spiritual Power within his body.

"Hiss—"

In the end, the Xuanming Ice Snake did not spit out the Ice Spirit Pearl. It didn’t intend to greedily keep the pearl for itself but knew that its own strength would be greater with the Ice Spirit Pearl inside.

It could possibly delay the Core Formation Stage practitioners for a longer time!

With reluctance, the Xuanming Ice Snake withdrew its gaze and slithered to the side of Chu Zhongtian.

It was then that Chu Zhongtian brought out the Shadowless Sword and thunderously smashed it against the tunnel wall.

The tunnel here was fairly narrow; after Chu Zhongtian struck a few blows, the tunnel was buried.

After burying over thirty yards and ascertaining that the Core Formation practitioners would have difficulty entering, he then turned into another mining tunnel.

"Xiaobai, I’ve mined this tunnel before. You go deeper inside, and I will lie in ambush here! If any of the Core Formation enforcers come, I’ll lead them inside. Then you can see if there’s a chance to stealthily attack and kill a few!"

He spoke in great detail, also wanting to have a complete plan with the Xuanming Ice Snake, so that they could delay their opponents as much as possible.

"Hiss..."

The Xuanming Ice Snake looked at Chu Zhongtian with a profound gaze, and after a long while, it finally nodded its head.

It understood that even if it was placed in danger, Chu Zhongtian wanted it to live longer, so that it could wait for Lu Chen to awaken.

At this moment, the Xuanming Ice Snake began to grasp the relationships among the human race, which were not as described in its inherited memories.

Humans are deceitful and ruthless...

Taking into account that its own mother was returned by Lu Chen, the Xuanming Ice Snake felt even closer to Chu Zhongtian.

"Hiss—"

It flicked out its tongue again, signalling for Chu Zhongtian to be careful as well. Regardless of whether he understood or not, the Xuanming Ice Snake then dove into the mining tunnel.

However, it didn’t go too far but first shed its icy scales to reveal its true form, then arched its body against the wall like an arching gateway!

There was great risk in doing so.

Without the protection of its icy scales, its ordinary snake scales could not withstand a strike from the Shadowless Sword.

But the advantage was that it was less likely to be discovered!

It stuck its head to the ceiling of the tunnel, gathering strength slightly, ready to strike at any moment!

Meanwhile, Chu Zhongtian was also prepared.

He, too, was thinking of seizing any opportunity to stealthily kill at least one person!

...

"What are you saying? That demon beast was brought in by Chu Zhongtian?"

Pan Yunsheng stared with bulging eyes, utterly incredulous.

Enforcer Zhu said, "Brother Pan, Junior Brother Ji can vouch for it! If not for Brother Ye risking his life to protect us and let us escape first, I’m afraid Brother Ji and I would have died in the tunnel!"

Enforcer Zhu was in tears, while Junior Brother Ji was pale, nodding repeatedly, clenching his teeth and saying, "It’s true, Brother Zhu! Chu Zhongtian has also broken through to the Core Formation Stage, we were caught off guard and fell for it! My Shadowless Sword was destroyed, and I couldn’t exert any strength!"

"So it’s really like that..."

Pan Yunsheng paced back and forth. Having lost two Core Formation Stage practitioners, even if he killed Chu Zhongtian and the Xuanming Ice Snake, he would likely be unable to justify himself!

But what else could be done given the circumstances?

He took a deep breath and said, "Junior Brother Ji, Junior Brother Zhu, you two stay here and make sure no accidents happen in the tunnel. The rest, follow me to kill our way in. However, we need to capture Chu Zhongtian alive; we must personally bring him to the Enforcement Hall..."

"Yes, Brother Pan!"

The group of Core Formation enforcers, as if facing a great enemy, got ready.

At the same time.

Lu Chen’s body was also undergoing changes!

The Ethereal Spiritual Power finally moved entirely into the dead pupil bead under his efforts!

Instantly, he also poured his consciousness into the dead pupil bead, watching the Ethereal Spiritual Power violently rampage inside the Hateful Heaven and Earth.

Until he saw the Ethereal Spiritual Power completely converge upon the totemic stone statue in slumber!

A strange feeling arose, and Lu Chen stared blankly at the totemic stone statue as it slowly opened its eyes, as if gazing back at him!

"Lu Chen, boy..."

An ancient yet familiar voice sounded, "You may come in now!"
