Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

After discussing the matter, the three of them ran to Towering Cloud City as quickly as possible.

Between them, Bai Xiong had gone through Luo Tian’s simple disguise, and no one could easily tell it was Bai Xiong anymore.

Bai Lingling didn’t make any changes to her looks.

She headed straight for the main gates of Towering Cloud City and went in.

On the other hand, Luo Tian secretly snuck in.

Towering Cloud City was a very large place.

It was several times bigger than Heavenly Sword City on the Tianxuan Continent, with a population of nearly 60 million people.

Moreover, there were even rivers and mountains encompassed within the city.

Black Wind Cave was a bottomless hole located in the Black Wind Cliff. Freezing cold wind constantly came up from the hole that felt like knives slicing the surface of a person’s face. The worst thing about the hole was that there was a strange force that sucked away the yuan energy of a person, little by little. This was the real horror behind the place.

Those imprisoned inside the Black Wind Cave have never managed to come out alive.

Even a ghost couldn’t handle a single day there, let alone a living human being.

Night descended.

It was so dark that one couldn’t even see their fingers before their face.

Luo Tian silently arrived at Black Wind Cliff.

“Woooooooo~!”

“Woooooooo~!”

The sound of the wind was like the howl of an animal, easily making anyone’s heart tremble with fear.

“This hellhole of a place can really kill people.”

“Why are we even guarding this place? Who the hell would come to a blasted place like this?”

“It would be so nice if we were in the city right now. Not even a ghost can be seen here, and I’m about to freeze to death.”

“Stop complaining. Don’t forget that the Patriarch… No, I meant Bai Qi is still imprisoned inside there. We can’t let him escape, or else we won’t be able to protect our little lives.”

“Escape? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Have you ever seen anyone come out of the Black Wind Cave alive? I think that old man Bai Qi died long ago, and his corpse is probably rotting in there already.”

“Stop talking about it. It’s giving me the creeps. Drink! Let’s keep drinking…”

Luo Tian was hiding behind a large rock not too far from the guards.

After waiting for a short while and making sure no one else was around, his figure silently landed behind the two.

Luo Tian’s mouth curved into a smile.

When he saw the Bai family’s logo on the chest of their clothing, he chuckled out loud, “Sorry, but you two are going to die.”

He raised his fists…

“Bang~, bang~!”

The two guards were instantly killed before they could react.

“Ding!”

“Ding!”

Two alert tones were heard, and his experience bar went up by a few hundred points.

Luo Tian looked at the Black Wind Cave and observed the icy cold aura coming out. It pierced through his clothing and caused his body to have goosebumps. Luo Tian found the mechanism and opened the gates of the cave. He then clenched his teeth and said to himself, “I’m doing this for the sake of the quest and for the sake of the 150,000 xuan coins!”

He then charged inside the cave.

“Ding!”

“Yuan energy -1.”

“Yuan energy -1.”

“Yuan energy -1.”

The system kept giving him alerts, but they were the kind that Luo Tian hated the most.

One point of yuan energy every second!The source of thɪs content is N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

“Damn it! I thought only those with a dantian would have their yuan energy depleted. Who would’ve imagined my yuan energy could also drop down.” Luo Tian felt his heartache. Yuan energy was the equivalent of mana to him, and it was really heartbreaking for it to disappear for no good reason.

Fortunately, Luo Tian’s yuan energy had reached 30,000 plus points, so he had quite a bit of time on hand.

“Wooooooooooo~”

“Wooooooooooo~”

The sound of the wind inside the cave was even louder. When it blew past Luo Tian’s face, it felt like his face was being cut by knives. This feeling was so uncomfortable, especially when faint lines of blood started appearing on his face.

“Bai Qi!”

“Give me a shout if you’re still alive! Don’t blindly waste my energy on you and on this damn place!” shouted Luo Tian. He really didn’t want to stay in this hellish place for a moment longer. If his yuan energy really bottoms out, then he’s going to be screwed later on.

His voice echoed outward but encountered the sound of the wind. Before it could travel any further, the sound of the wind had already replaced his voice.

“Damn it!”

“I can’t even transmit my voice out in this place?!”

Luo Tian frowned and figured he could only tough it out and keep looking.

His path was littered with piles and piles of bones.

The strange thing about these white bones was that there were bite marks on them. It seemed like the bites were caused after death.

“Whoosh~!”

Suddenly, a ghostly figure fluttered past a short distance away.

“Does this world have ghosts in it?”

Luo Tian’s brows furrowed as the previous whoosh sound made his heart sink.

Around this time…

“Squeak~, squeak~!”

“Whoosh~!”

A giant rat suddenly pounced over.

The rat was at least the size of half a person!

Luo Tian’s eyes turned serious when he saw the health bar above its head. “It’s easier to handle when it’s not a ghost!”

“God Flame!”

“Boom~!”

A fireball shot out of Luo Tian’s palm.

“-1”

A bright red number floated above the giant rat’s head. Luo Tian was extremely shocked, “How strong is its defense?! I didn’t get an instant kill, but why is the damage so fucking little as well?!”

Also, at this time, the name of the giant rat had been revealed.

“Corpse Eating Rat.”

“There are so many bones here, so the imprisoned people here all had their bones eaten by the Corpse Eating Rat?” Luo Tian’s heart sank before saying to himself, “That Bai Qi… If he’s dead already, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort for me to look for him?”

Luo Tian didn’t follow up with another attack on the Corpse Eating Rat.

But the Corpse Eating Rat was enraged after being struck by God Flame. The moment it landed, it flipped around and pounced over once more.

Luo Tian was pissed off at its actions. “You’re not acting obediently after getting a bargain?! It looks like you’re tired of living!”

After making a thought, the Fire Qilin that had been placed in a secret space was instantly summoned to Luo Tian’s side. It then sprayed a mouthful of thick flames toward the Corpse Eating Rat!

“Boom~!”

“-309”

“Its defense is truly frighteningly high!”

“My Fire Qilin can instantly kill a Four Elements 8th ranker, but it can’t do it to this rat. It looks like this fellow is indeed difficult to deal with.” Luo Tian said to himself. But he wasn’t too worried with his Fire Qilin around.

“Boom~!”

“Squeak~, squeak~!”

“Boom~!”

“Squeak~, squeak~!”

Every time the Corpse Eating Rat tried to attack Luo Tian, it was sent flying by the Fire Qilin’s flames. Its rat fur had been burnt black already. After surviving for another half a minute, it had been turned into a roasted rat as it fell dead to the ground.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing a Corpse Eating Rat. You have gained 10,000 experience points, 800 yuan energy…”

“Damn, son!”

“Are you trying to scare me with this many experience points?!”

Luo Tian licked his lips. Ten thousand points of experience only come from encountering bosses. He didn’t expect the experience points of this rat to be this high. It was too shocking for him! Luo Tian suddenly laughed, “I can level up after killing around 30 more of them! I really don’t mind meeting a few more!”

Right now, he needs around 300,000 experience points to level up. The experience points from the Corpse Eating Rat were too awesome!

“I need to quickly level up and then kill my way to the Bai family!”

“Based on how my system works, the current head of the Bai family must be a boss. And it’s highly likely that he will trigger a system reward for me. I need to enhance my strength by leveling up, or else there’s no way I can explode him!”
