Everyone pushed the iron gate at the sa ti but the gate refused to move, probably because the iron hinges had been stiff for too long.
"This is useless…" Li Mo Zhen withdrew his hand and then took a mont to stare at the tall iron gate while thinking about what they should do next.
"I think we might use force" Li mo Zhen concluded.
"Everyone take a step back!" Yuan Shao ordered everyone to retreat.
Everyone simultaneously walked away from the giant gate, Yuan Shao then took a stance then pull his fist soon after the energy around him increased rapidly then accumulate in his fist, and with one move he lunged toward the gate and then release a powerful punch at the gate.
A loud crackling sound resounded through the air as the steel gate vigorously moved slightly though not fully open but enough for a grown man to slip between the gaps.
"This gate is really strong" Li Mo Zhen was amazed that even with such a strong blow this gate only moved slightly he was curious how this gate operated before.
"Let's go!" said Yuan Shao while unsheathing his sword again, he took a deep breath and then slipped between the gate.
The soft light from the luminescent pearl slowly illuminated the area around them.
"This place is like the courtyard of the imperial palace" Li Mo Zhen swept his gaze to the wide area around him there was still a wrecked screen wall with intricate carvings and so broken statues that still remain but what made the atmosphere terrifying was the large number of human bones wearing armor and beast in various size scattered everywhere.
"It seems that a great war happened in this place…" a deep sense of uneasiness holds him rigid, one could only imagine the chaos and blood that happened long ago.
A terrifying calm swept over everyone with a chilling thought.
Everyone subconsciously held onto their swords tightly as their moved carefully among the scattered bones.
Then suddenly they heard a strange sound and everyone was shocked while looking around them anxiously.
"Did you hear that?" one of the Sword Saint sect mbers whispered with an intense look.
"I don't know!" the other answered while subconsciously holding his breath.
"Stay alert!" Yang Zhou reminded them, the air around them beco tight, and shivers run down their spine as if sothing was watching them and not just from one direction. "Yuan Shao, sothing is lurking…" Li Mo Zhen slowly took out a protective talisman but the problem was that he didn't know where the enemy would attack from or when.
"Everyone gather around!" Yuan Shao's voice was filled with urgency and everyone listened without asking about this situation they follow everyone who gives orders.
Everyone, quickly presses their back at each other and their expression beco tense with stress, soon cold sweat start running down their backs, they do not know who or where the enemy is, and that makes it more frightening.
Suddenly one of them was pulled into the ground quickly they didn't even have ti to scream, the others started but another person was pulled inside the ground.
"Everyone, JUMP!" Li Mo Zhen shouted as he jumped as high as he could and the others followed. Unfortunately, so people didn't have ti to jump because sothing tied their legs and pulled them to the ground.
When they jump the head of an ant-like animal erges from the ground but the beast has a long tongue like a lizard which then wraps around one of the mber's legs.
Seeing this Tao Ji Fang swung his sword and slash the beast's tongue after that Yang Zhou pulled the man who was attacked by the beast onto a large rock.
"What is that thing?" Yang Zhou's eyes widen in shock and fright.
But Yuan Shao and Li Mo Zhen could already guess that this creature was a Hybrid beast, without further ado Yuan Shao shouted "ATTACK!"
More creatures ca out of the ground, they were half ant-half lizard and half scorpion, but their appearance did not reduce Li Mo Zhen and Yuan Shao's courage in the slightest.
Li Mo Zhen threw offensive talismans at the creatures as soon as they snapped, he swung his sword gracefully and managed to kill several beasts in one swift motion, at the sa ti Yuan Shao took out one of the beast tongues with his bare hands. swinging them like a pendulum hitting creatures as they shattered Yuan Shao made a powerful attack he cut the creatures in half.
Tao Ji Fang did not lose either, with sharp movents in the blink of an eye he killed the hybrid beasts thankfully he had been equipped with weapons made of spirit stone so it was not difficult for them to kill the hybrid beasts it was just that there were too many of them.
"We can't spend much ti here" Li Mo Zhen saw that so of his n were exhausted and they still had more enemies to face so they shouldn't run out of energy in this place.
" and master Tao will hold them down, you find a way out!" Yuan Shao said.
"Leave it to , master Li!" Tao Ji Fang said confidently.
Li Mo Zhen gave a firm nod, and without wasting any ti he left the battle then walked down the wide area for an exit then he saw a door that was locked with a big padlock.
Li Mo Zhen mustered his strength and then broke the padlock with a strong blow of his sword and the big lock shattered in pieces. Li Mo Zhen pushed the door and then saw the stone stairs leading down thought he didn't know where this path will lead them but it was still better than out there.
"Everyone, Over here!" Li Mo Zhen called out loudly.
"Everyone go!" Yuan Shao ordered.
Tao Bing Wen gave a quick glance at Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao nodded his head assuring him he could handle it on his own.
Tao Ji Fang would not doubt the ability of the king of the tribes, Yuan Shao.
"Everyone follow !" Tao Ji Fang backed everyone to go with him, hearing Tao Ji Fang's orders they imdiately withdrew from the battle.
After everyone left Yun Shao released his strength while jumping into the air he gathered his strength in his fists then plunged at high speed then launched a heavy punch at the ground suddenly the ground around him cracked and the creatures fell to the ground with a loud shriek.
"YUAN SHAO!" Li Mo Zhen called Yuan Shao impatiently.
Yuan Shao quickly followed Li Mo Zhen's voice, he saw Li Mo Zhen standing in front of the door with an anxious face waiting for him, while other creatures that still remain chased Yuan Shao angrily.
"Hurry!" Li Mo Zhen's voice rises in urgency while stretching his hand.
As soon as Yuan Shao grabbed Li mo Zhen's arm he was pulled by Li Mo Zhen then they pushed hard on the door but the creature kept gesturing rudely at the door.
Tao Ji Fang and the others imdiately helped to restrain the door but their strength was not comparable to the strength of hundreds of creatures outside and this door would not last long either when Yuan Shao examined the door he noticed that there was an iron door hanging above the door he carefully looks into the door chanism then realize there was a chain holding the door.
"Let go of the door when I give the signal!" Yuan Shao suddenly said.
"What?!" Li Mo Zhen stares at Yuan Shao incredulously.
"Trust !" Yuan Shao reassured him again.
"Verry well!" Li Mo Zhen would not doubt him now.
Yuan Shao bounced between the walls and cut the black chains that bound the door then scream.
"MOVE AWAY!"
Everyone simultaneously jumped back as the door was about to open the iron door slid down and crush the creatures that forcing their way in.
Blood splattered everywhere, Li Mo Zhen raised his hand and the blood successfully stained his sleeves.
Yuan Shao landed and then saw the very thick iron door lining the previous door, Yuan Shao stood next to Li Mo Zhen and heaved a long sigh of relief "It works..."
Li Mo Zhen hit Yuan Shao's chest lightly with a grateful smile "Nice work!"
