Under the deadly blow, the monster's body shuddered violently, its massive form began to waver, and eventually, it slowly fell to the ground, emitting a dull "boom" as though a small mountain had collapsed.

At this moment, Xiang Kun quickly formed seals with his hands, his fingers dancing nimbly, chanting under his breath: "Power of the earth veins, heed my command!" With his incantation, the voice was low and mysterious, as if resounding from the depths of the earth. The ground suddenly rose with a "rumble", forming sharp stone spikes that stabbed toward the monster from all directions, the sound of "whoosh" lingering in the air.

The monster sensed danger, a trace of panic flashed in its eyes, the original ferocity in its gaze was instantly replaced by fear.

Its body contracted violently, muscles tensed, then it leapt high into the air, its body tracing a black arc in the air like a falling meteor, accompanied by a gust of wind.

It deftly dodged the stone spikes' attack, landing with a "thud", creating a giant pit on the ground, dust flying, rumbling, surrounding rocks rolling down as if a small earthquake had occurred, constant crackling sound erupted.

At the critical moment, Jin Liufu seized the opportunity. He swiftly retrieved several specially made hidden weapons from his bosom, the shapes akin to plum blossoms, edges exceptionally sharp, glinting with a chilling light in the dim light.

His eyes exuded confidence and decisiveness, shouting firmly, "Behold my Plum Blossom Soul-Seeking Dart!" His voice firm and powerful, reverberating through the passage. With a light flick of the wrist, the hidden weapon shot towards the monster like a meteor with a "whoosh".

The monster's skin was thick, muscles hard, ordinary hidden weapons were utterly ineffective.

However, Jin Liufu's Plum Blossom Soul-Seeking Dart had undergone special treatment, carrying immense power, the hidden weapon glinted with a chilly light in the air, accompanied by piercing whistling sound, "whee whee" echoing, flying straight toward the monster as if to snatch its soul as well.

Several hidden weapons with sharp whistles hit precisely on the monster's legs.

The hidden weapons sank into thick skin and flesh with a few "puchi" sounds. Although failing to deliver a fatal blow, they plunged like steel needles, causing the monster to tremble all over in pain. It let out an extremely angry roar, "ow", echoing waves shaking the passage walls buzzing as if to collapse the entire passage, the "buzz buzz" resonance never ceasing.

The monster, enraged, swiftly turned around, eyes burning with bloodlust, the flames seemingly able to ignite the surrounding air, stared fixedly at Jin Liufu, then charged forward like an arrow leaving the string. Its speed was incredibly fast, reaching Jin Liufu in the blink of an eye, with jaws open wide, fangs sparkling chillingly, intending to crush Jin Liufu in one bite. The scene was horrifying, chilling everyone to the bone.

At this perilous moment, Shi Feiyang stepped forward without hesitation.

His eyes showed no hesitation, only determination and resoluteness, utilizing the exquisite "Deep Concealment of Body and Name" Supreme Lightness Technique, his toes lightly tapped the ground, his body like a ghost of the night, "whoosh" instantly shot forward, appearing rapidly before the monster like a phantom.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang was surrounded by a faint white mist, the cold emitted by the Bright Jade Technique.

The mist carried a biting chill, frosting the air wherever it passed with "susu" sounds, a crystalline frost pattern swiftly spreading across the passage floor and walls, gleaming with an eerie cold glow in the dim light.

In Shi Feiyang's hand, the Myanmar Saber swung, executing the "Cloud Breaker Style" from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, the saber light flickering as if slicing open the sky's dark clouds. Then came the move "Heaven and Earth Longevity", saber light enveloped in endless chill, like a bolt of lightning, "whoosh" stabbed straight at the monster's throat. Where the saber light passed, the air sliced by the blade emitted a sharp screech, "eeee" resonating.

The monster sensing a lethal threat was forced to abandon its attack on Jin Liufu and switched to using its forepaws to fend off Shi Feiyang's assault. It swung its massive claws, accompanied by "whoo whoo" wind sound, clashing heavily with Shi Feiyang's swinging Myanmar Saber.

In an instant, the metallic clashing sound was deafening, akin to a ringing big bell, "clang" resounded, numbing Shi Feiyang's tiger's mouth, his arm tingling, the Myanmar Saber almost flew out of his hand, his arm trembling slightly.

Yet, just in that split second, the monster's tail like a sturdy iron whip swept across with lightning speed, "whoosh" sound swiftly.

Shi Feiyang was unable to dodge, taking the fierce hit heavily, his whole body flying backward like a kite with a broken line.

He drew an arc through the air, "whoosh", crashing heavily against the passage wall, emitting a dull loud sound, "bang", raising billows of dust, "puff puff" sound echoed.

This heart-stopping scene made everyone present's heart race, their hearts in their throats.

"Feiyang!" Gong Simeng was exceedingly anxious, her eyes brimming with worry and fear, as if the world collapsed in an instant.

At this moment, heedless of her own safety, she charged over like an arrow leaving the string, "whoosh" sound.

Meanwhile, Xiang Kun cast another spell. He raised both hands high to the sky, palms facing up, chanting difficult and obscure incantations, channeling an ancient mysterious power, his voice low and melodious.

Light burst forth from Xiang Kun's body, the light carrying an earthy brown heavy texture, gathering the power of the earth.

Then, the passage top stones loosened and fell, hammering the monster like dense raindrops, constant "pitter-patter" sound. The monster had to halt, using its iron-hard back to withstand the falling stones, each hitting with a dull thud, "bang bang" sounded, reverberating continuously in the passage.

Jin Liufu took the opportunity to pick up a giant rock from the ground. With feet firmly planted, taking a horse stance, his arm muscles tensed, veins bulging like writhing little snakes. He gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength, throwing the giant rock towards the monster's eyes.

"Bang", a loud crash, the giant rock hit the monster with a powerful impact.

Though unable to inflict a fatal blow, the unexpected strike made the monster turn its head, successfully diverting its attention. The monster roared in anger, turning again, charging toward Jin Liufu.

Jin Liufu quickly retreated, moving nimbly, dodging left and right within the passage, trying to evade the monster's attacks, always seeking new opportunities to counterattack, his steps light and agile. In this suffocatingly tense moment, everyone was giving their all, fighting desperately for survival, the air thick with tension.

Gong Simeng quickly reached Shi Feiyang. Her movements were gentle yet urgent, carefully bending down, steadily supporting Shi Feiyang, her voice trembled with sobs, concernedly asking, "How are your injuries?"

Shi Feiyang shook his head, replied word by word, "I'm okay, protected by Divine Skill, we must not let this monster succeed."

At this point, the black-clad leader, seeing everyone engrossed in the intense battle with the monster, with wicked intentions, stealthily attempted to escape deeper into the passage.

His steps light, trying not to make a sound, like a sly old rat, tiptoeing quietly.

Shi Feiyang's gaze was sharp like an eagle's, instantly seeing through the black-clad leader's intention, shouted loudly, "Don't let him escape, he must know more secrets!" As soon as he spoke, disregarding his own injuries, he executed his "No Detainment in Thousand Miles" Supreme Lightness Technique. His figure flashed like a black lightning, cutting through the air in an instant, "whoosh" sound pursuing the black-clad leader.

Where he passed, the air seemed cut by a sharp blade, leaving a temporary vacuum trail, "ssss" sound resonating.

The black-clad leader, hearing the urgent footsteps behind him, was startled, his complexion turning pale as paper.

He quickened his pace, his feet moving fast like pounding garlic, trying to shake off Shi Feiyang's pursuit.

However, Shi Feiyang quickly caught up, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Shi Feiyang swung his saber horizontally, the Myanmar Saber traced a chilling light in the air, "swoosh" blocking the black-clad leader's path, sternly shouted, "Trying to escape? Spill everything you know!" The black-clad leader sneered, that smile carrying a hint of mockery and disdain, saying, "You think you can stop all this? This monster is just the beginning, the real disaster is yet to come."
