Chapter 523: In-Depth

"Hmph, if you have the guts, don't hide and fight me head-on!" Fang Yue shouted loudly.

The black-robed weirdo just smiled and said, "Stupid guy, do you think you can defeat me easily? I'll let you know that this is my territory and you can't escape!"

After that, the black-robed weirdo blew the flute again. This time, the sound of the flute became more weird, as if it came from the call of the Nine Nether Hell. As the flute sounded, the surrounding space began to twist slightly. Fang Yue felt as if he was in a huge vortex, his body became heavier and heavier, and his movements became more and more difficult.

"No, this is a space restriction!" Fang Yue was shocked and realized that he was in an extremely dangerous situation.

But he did not despair because of this, but calmed down. Fang Yue knew that the more dangerous the moment, the more he had to keep a clear mind to find a way out.

At this moment, he forced the vitality in his body to try to break through this space restriction. Yuan Qi was flowing wildly in his body, and Fang Yue's whole body was emitting dazzling light, like a burning sun.

With his efforts, the pressure around his body seemed to be slightly relieved, but it was still a long way from breaking through the restriction completely.

Just as Fang Yue was struggling, the black-robed weirdo took this opportunity and slowly walked towards him.

With every step, the demonic energy on the black-robed weirdo became stronger, and the flute in his hand flashed more and more dark light.

"Outsider, prepare to die!" The black-robed weirdo said coldly, with an unquestionable killing intent in his voice.

Fang Yue looked at the black-robed weirdo who was gradually approaching, and a strong sense of unwillingness surged in his heart.

He swore that he would never die here so easily, and he must find the source of darkness and complete his mission.

"I won't fall down like this, don't even think about it!" Fang Yue gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

He continued to circulate his Yuan Qi with all his strength, while thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind.

Suddenly, Fang Yue remembered that he had read about the method of breaking the space-type prohibition in an ancient book, which was to find the node of the prohibition and break the entire prohibition by destroying the node.

At this moment, Fang Yue concentrated his mind and began to carefully observe the distortion of the surrounding space.

With his keen perception, he finally found a place where the space was most distorted. There was a faint energy fluctuation different from other places, which was probably the node of this space-type prohibition.

"That's it!" Fang Yue's heart moved.

He saw the opportunity, and at the moment when the black-robed weirdo was about to walk in front of him, he suddenly gathered all the remaining vitality in his body on the long sword, and then stabbed hard at the suspected node.

This sword contained Fang Yue's last hope. The light on the sword was dazzling, as if it was going to cut through the dark space.

When the long sword stabbed that place, it made a loud noise that shook the whole space.

Under this powerful blow, the space-type prohibition finally had a lot of cracks, and then with a "click", it was completely broken.

The moment the space restriction was broken, the smug look on the face of the black-robed weirdo disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of astonishment.

He obviously didn't expect Fang Yue to be able to break his space restriction.

"How is it possible?!" the black-robed weirdo exclaimed.

Fang Yue would not give him time to react. While the black-robed weirdo was astonished, he flashed and pounced on the black-robed weirdo like lightning.

The long sword in his hand was raised again, and he stabbed the black-robed weirdo fiercely.

This time, the black-robed weirdo couldn't dodge in time, and was stabbed directly into the chest by Fang Yue's long sword.

He let out a shrill scream, and the flute in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

Fang Yue took advantage of the situation and stirred it hard, smashing the chest of the black-robed weirdo. The body of the black-robed weirdo began to gradually dissipate, turning into wisps of black smoke, and finally disappeared without a trace.

As the black-robed weirdo was eliminated, the surrounding space returned to normal, and the strange flute sound also stopped abruptly.

Fang Yue landed slowly, breathing heavily.

He felt as if his body had been drained out, exhausted.

But he was full of relief, after all, he had successfully overcome a huge difficulty.

He knew that in this ancient mine, danger was still everywhere, but he would not retreat because of this.

Fang Yue adjusted his breath and continued to move forward into the depths of the ancient mine, and his heart became more determined to find the source of darkness and explore the way to breakthrough.

Not far ahead, Fang Yue suddenly heard a low buzzing sound, as if some huge insect was flapping its wings.

His heart tightened, he stopped, looked around vigilantly, and prepared to face new challenges.

Fang Yue listened carefully, trying to distinguish the specific source of the buzzing sound.

He slowly released his vitality to sense the movements around him.

After a while, he noticed that at a fork in the road not far ahead, the energy fluctuations were extremely strong, and the buzzing sound seemed to come from there.

Fang Yue clenched the long sword in his hand and walked carefully towards the fork in the road.

When he got closer, the scene in front of him made him gasp.

He saw a group of huge demon bees circling and dancing at the fork in the road. Each demon bee was as big as an adult, flashing with dark light, and the stinger on the tail exuded a chilling breath.

"Another tough guy." Fang Yue whispered to himself.

These demon bees seemed to have sensed Fang Yue's arrival and suddenly became agitated.

Their buzzing became louder and louder, as if they were demonstrating to Fang Yue.

Then, a group of demon bees rushed towards Fang Yue, as fast as black lightning.

Fang Yue did not dare to neglect it, and quickly displayed a set of agile body skills, and his body shuttled between the attacks of the demon bees like lightning.

At the same time, he kept waving the long sword in his hand, and displayed sword energy, slashing at the demon bees that were rushing towards him.

However, the bodies of these demon bees were extremely hard, and the sword energy slashed on them, only splashing a few sparks, and did not cause substantial damage to them.

After being attacked, the demon bees became even more angry. They quickly adjusted their attack strategy, no longer blindly attacking, but began to circle around Fang Yue in an organized manner, trying to find his flaws.

Fang Yue knew in his heart that this was not a solution, and he had to find the weaknesses of these demon bees.

While dodging the attacks of the demon bees, he carefully observed their actions.

Suddenly, he found that when these demon bees were hovering, a relatively weak area would occasionally appear on their abdomens.

"That's it!" Fang Yue's mind moved.

He saw the right moment, and when a group of demon bees rushed over again, Fang Yue dodged the frontal attack, then turned around suddenly, and with the long sword in his hand, he stabbed the weak area of ​​a demon bee's abdomen with a strong vitality.

This sword was accurate and the long sword pierced into the demon bee's abdomen without any hindrance. The demon bee let out a sharp scream, its body trembled violently, and then fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, the other demon bees paused for a moment, but soon continued to rush towards Fang Yue. Fang Yue did not relax at all, and continued to fight fiercely with the demon bees with his flexible body and precise attacks.

After a hard fight, Fang Yue finally killed all the demon bees. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, knowing that this was another difficult battle. But he had no time to rest, because he knew that there were more dangers waiting for him in this ancient mine.

Fang Yue adjusted his breath and continued to move forward into the depths of the ancient mine. His eyes became more determined, and his determination to find the source of darkness and explore the way to break through became stronger.

As he walked, the passage in front gradually widened, forming a huge cave. The cave was full of strange stalactites, some of which were like swords hanging upside down, and some were like giant beasts entrenched. In the center of the cave, there was a bottomless pool of water, the water was as dark as ink, and it exuded a chill.

Fang Yue approached the pool carefully, and he could feel a strong energy fluctuation emanating from the water. Just as he approached the edge of the pool, suddenly, the water rolled violently, and a huge black octopus poked out of the water. The tentacles of the octopus danced, and each tentacle was covered with sharp suction cups, which flashed with cold light, as if they could easily tear everything apart.

"What kind of monster is this?" Fang Yue frowned and clenched the long sword in his hand.

The black octopus seemed to sense Fang Yue's hostility. It let out a low roar, and then several tentacles quickly stretched out towards Fang Yue. Fang Yue dodged the attack of the tentacles and swung his sword at the tentacles. However, when the sword blade chopped on the tentacles, it only left a shallow mark and did not cause much damage to the octopus.

Fang Yue realized that the octopus's defense was also extremely strong, and he began to think about how to deal with it. While dodging the octopus's attacks, he observed its movement patterns. He found that after the octopus launched an attack, there would be a short pause to adjust the position of the tentacles. This might be his chance.

In the pause after an octopus attack, Fang Yue rushed towards the octopus. He gathered all his energy on the long sword and used his strongest sword. The sword was dazzling and pierced straight into the octopus's head. The octopus seemed to sense the danger and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Fang Yue's sword successfully pierced the octopus's head, and the octopus let out a painful scream and began to struggle violently.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to continue attacking. He kept stabbing the octopus's head and body with sword moves. Black blood gushed out of the octopus's wounds, dyeing the surrounding pool water black. As the injury worsened, the octopus's attack became weaker and weaker. Finally, its huge body slowly sank into the pool and stopped moving.

Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had defeated the danger again. After taking a short rest and recovering some physical strength, he continued to walk towards the depths of the cave. He believed that he was getting closer and closer to the source of darkness and the road to breakthrough.

Not far away, Fang Yue noticed that the air in front seemed to become more solemn, and there was a faint sense of oppression. He slowed down his pace and observed the surroundings more vigilantly.

Suddenly, the ground in front began to tremble slightly, and then a huge stone statue slowly rose from the ground.

The stone statue was a hideous demon with its wings spread out and a huge stone axe held high in both hands. The stone axe emitted waves of chilling cold air.

Fang Yue's heart trembled. He could feel that this stone statue was not an ordinary decoration. It must have some powerful mechanism or hidden unknown danger.

Just as Fang Yue was thinking, the eyes of the stone statue suddenly flashed with a strange red light. Then, it slowly raised the stone axe in its hand and chopped towards Fang Yue fiercely.

The force of this chop was so amazing that the wind whistled as if it could split the air.

Fang Yue did not dare to be negligent. He flashed and quickly retreated to avoid this fierce chop.

But the stone statue did not stop. It continued to swing the stone axe and attacked Fang Yue repeatedly. Each attack brought a strong wind pressure, making Fang Yue feel quite strenuous when dodging.

Fang Yue dodged while thinking about countermeasures.

He found that although the stone statue attacked swiftly, its movements were a little stiff. After each attack, it would pause for a short time to adjust its posture.

"Maybe I can take advantage of this flaw." Fang Yue secretly calculated in his heart.

When the stone statue raised the stone axe again and prepared to chop it down, Fang Yue saw the opportunity and rushed towards the stone statue like lightning.

At the moment he approached the stone statue, he suddenly jumped up, and with the help of momentum and his own jumping power, he jumped high and passed the stone axe raised by the stone statue.

Then, Fang Yue flipped in the air, and the long sword in his hand, wrapped with vigorous vitality, stabbed fiercely at the back of the stone statue.

This sword stabbed heavily on the back of the stone statue, splashing a spark.

Although the material of the stone statue is hard, a shallow crack still appeared under Fang Yue's powerful sword.

After being attacked, the stone statue seemed to be more angry. It turned around suddenly and attacked Fang Yue again.

Fang Yue flexibly shuttled between the attacks of the stone statue, while constantly looking for new attack opportunities.

In the gap between dodging the stone statue's attack again, Fang Yue found that the neck of the stone statue seemed to be its weaker part, because it connected the head and the body, and there would be some unnatural twists every time it moved.

"That's it!" Fang Yue's heart moved.

He seized the opportunity, and in the pause moment after the stone statue attacked again, Fang Yue's body rushed up like lightning, and the long sword in his hand gathered all the vitality in his body, and stabbed fiercely at the neck of the stone statue.

The sword was accurate and pierced the neck of the stone statue without any hindrance.

As Fang Yue stirred harder, more cracks began to appear on the neck of the stone statue, and gradually spread.

The stone statue's movements became slower and slower, and the stone axe in its hand gradually fell. The original majestic posture no longer existed, and only a shaky appearance remained. (End of this chapter)
