Chapter 159 Reactions from all parties

In the dark and narrow tunnel of the cave, rocks were falling everywhere, and smoke, dust, and gravel were scattered and rising.

A figure with purple flames burning all over his body rushed from the depths of the cave, and he smashed through all the obstacles on the way.

The extreme speed and superb defense turned him into a silver drill that ran rampant in this dark cave.

Along the way, rocks were broken to open up a path, and all obstacles collapsed at the first touch. Even though he was carrying a strong man weighing nearly 200 kilograms in his hands, it did not affect his indomitable speed at all.

He quickly crossed half of the long and narrow corridor. At this time, there was a sudden rumbling sound of the mountain collapsing behind him. Xu Yue turned around and saw that the entire corridor behind him had been completely buried by the mountain.

After more than ten seconds of caching, the cave full of cracks finally could not withstand the huge pressure of the mountain above, and began a collapse process like a flood bursting its banks.

Starting from the wide cave deep in the mountain, the immeasurable torrent of rocks filled all the space in the cave and gradually expanded rapidly to the entire corridor.

The torrent behind him was approaching, but Xu Yue's running footsteps suddenly stopped. The faint black light blooming outside the scales' boots under his feet dissipated, and the speed blessing effect was quietly turned off. Instead, golden red pure Yang Yan continued to surge from the body. come out and wrap around the body.

The speed of the mountain collapse was so fast that it was basically impossible for him to escape at normal speed. Once he was suppressed by the countless torrents of earth and rocks, even with his defense power, it would be a narrow escape.

"Xianxia!"

There was a low shout in the corridor, and then the golden-red Yangyan exploded into bright fire. The mana in his body dropped rapidly, turning into endless fireworks that spewed out behind him.

"Bah!"

The faint chirping of phoenix birds sounded in the corridor, and in the next moment, Xu Yue's entire body turned into a flaming meteor and shot out.

The dark and chaotic corridor is penetrated by a long line of fire. All the surrounding earth and rocks are often melted into magma by the terrifying temperature before they can get close to the line of fire, and are thrown to both sides.

………

Outside the cave, Snake Valley.

Under the sunset, the silence of Snake Valley was broken by a violent roar. The roar came from the peaks on the outer edge of Snake Valley. After spreading and rebounding in the cave, the roar became long and thick.

It was like a ferocious demon was suppressing at the bottom of the mountains, and now it was roaring and roaring crazily, and the sound was terrifying.

The demon's roar lasted for more than ten breaths before slowly dissipating in the Snake Valley. Instead, there was a muffled thunderous sound, ranging from slightly low to deafening.

Just a few seconds later, the largest peak inside Snake Valley began to shake, and the amplitude gradually increased until it suddenly collapsed.

It seemed that the roaring ferocious beast from before, in its frenzied struggle, finally completely destroyed the mountain that was suppressing him.

The movement of landslides and ground cracks spread to almost all areas within a hundred miles radius. The heavy force of a peak collapsing inward caused a large area nearby to tremble slightly, directly triggering a small earthquake.

With the Snake Valley earthquake source as the center, the tremors continued to spread outward through the earth, the best conductor, and the most obvious consequence was the riot of beasts.

On the ground, thousands of animals began to flee away from the source of the earthquake. In the sky, there was a black mass of birds covering the clouds. Although they did not flee as wildly as the animals, they all did not dare to land.

The anger of the earth was first noticed by the beasts with keen senses, so two waves of restless and fleeing beasts were formed in the sky and the earth.

The earthquake was still spreading, and soon spread to Xingyang City in the distance. At this time, the shaking of the earth was extremely slight. Although for those civilians with shallow martial arts, they could not feel much abnormality, but for those in the city who had little knowledge of martial arts, For a strong person, it is extremely easy to detect.

Less than three seconds after the vibration reached Xingyang City, figures appeared at various heights in the city, looking towards the direction of Snake Valley, with different expressions on their faces.

Xingyang City, the residence of the city lord.

As the most magnificent building in the entire city, there were two people standing on the eaves of the main building of the mansion.

The person at the front was wearing a navy blue robe, an auspicious cloud brocade belt around his waist, a dark yellow jade pendant on his left hand, and a dark black sword on his right. He had a solemn face, a long beard on his jaw, and looked majestic.

Half a body behind on the left side is a guard with neat armor, holding a straight sword, and the faint smell of blood around him.

"Is that the direction of Snake Valley?"

The middle-aged man in navy robe looked in the direction of the northern wilderness, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.

After listening to the middle-aged man's question, the armored guard at the rear responded respectfully:

"This is the direction of Snake Valley, Lord Prefect."

"Half a month ago, news of the suspected birth of the Snake Demon King came from the Snake Valley. A week ago, the Shadow Organization confirmed that the news was true. The Snake Demon King was born in the northern suburbs. Hundreds of snake demons from the three major tribes gathered in the Snake Valley. They were so powerful that the first hundred assassins came in to assassinate him. But one died and the other was seriously injured.”

"Now, after General Xue has finished dealing with the tiger demon rebellion in Fengshan Mountain, he will lead his troops to encircle Snake Valley in three days."

After the guard answered all the information related to Snake Valley, he bowed his head and remained silent. In fact, the middle-aged man knew all this information very well. After all, he personally issued the order to encircle and suppress Snake Valley, but for his subordinates, there was something higher up. Ask and answer in detail.

After listening to the guard's answer, the middle-aged man nodded lightly and looked away from the northern suburbs to the hidden street in the city.

"I'm afraid we don't have to wait until three days. If there is such a big movement, we will immediately send people to investigate."

"Here!"

"Also, check if there are any assassins from the Shadow Organization who have taken on the Snake Valley mission recently. This matter may be related to them."

"Yes!"

…………

Just as the middle-aged man on the eaves of the main building looked at Hidden Street, on the top of the third floor of the Hidden Street Assassin Tavern.

A wealthy man in a feather coat seemed to have sensed something, interrupted the conversation with the woman next to him, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master, is anyone spying?"

Guyu's questioning voice came to his ears. The man called the master shook his head slightly, then turned around and looked at the northern suburbs outside the city again, where a flock of flying birds that formed a black line in the sky could be seen faintly.

"When did the fire leave the city?"

"Master, it was about Chenshi."

"Chenshi..."

The master muttered softly, looking at the flock of flying birds that gradually became clear in the distance with a distant gaze, and suddenly sighed softly.

"It seems that our new member Xinhuo is really not a good person. He made such a commotion that affected the whole city in his first mission."

"It is difficult to tie a horse with a thick tree and a short rein, and it is difficult to raise a dragon with a wide river and shallow water. Our small Xingyang City is unlikely to keep this master for long."

"Arrange people to secretly investigate the Snake Valley. Secondly, if you find Xinhuo entering the city, you should wait at the entrance of Yin Street."

"Yes!"

Guyu responded and was about to retreat, but was stopped by the owner of the museum.

"If he really killed the Snake Demon King, then take him to the inner treasury."

"Yes!"

……………

In the northern wilderness, the Snake Valley that attracted the thoughts of all the major forces in Xingyang City.

When the peak was about to collapse completely, a line of fire flew out from the dark cave in the middle of the peak and headed straight for the sky.

"Cry!"

After the flames left the cave, they spread out quickly. The flames at the tail continued to expand to both sides, forming a gorgeous wide flame tail, like the wings of a red bird. The crisp cry of a phoenix bird was heard in the void.

The flaming phoenix bird flew higher and higher in the air, without any tendency to stop and slow down. The flame tail at the back continued to extend, bringing out a golden red long rainbow, like the glow of the sky.

"Disperse!"

A low shout came from the inside of the flying phoenix bird. The phoenix bird, which was about to approach the clouds, stopped its upward trend. The golden red flames lingering outside dissipated, revealing the silver figure wrapped inside, falling straight from the sky.

The sound of the wind whistled in his ears, and the strong wind brought by the rapid fall blew Xu Yue's cloak, and his hair also fluttered upward.

Falling quickly from a height close to the clouds, the strong stimulation brought by the feeling of weightlessness made his heart beat faster.

After a few seconds of free fall in the air, Xu Yue, who was still holding a strong man in his hand, finally stabilized his body. Pieces of metal plates flew out from the space and then automatically flew to his feet to relieve the force.

The crisp sound of metal explosions rang out from the sky. After four or five metal plates collapsed in succession, Xu Yue's falling speed finally eased to a normal level.

Another piece of metal plate appeared under his feet, but this time the metal plate was not crushed again, but steadily supported Xu Yue's body. He also fell from a height of a thousand meters to a distance of a hundred meters from the ground.
