Boom!

In the pitch-black tunnel, the shrill sound of air and bricks being torn apart rang out!

Although the saber light couldn’t be seen, an ear-piercing sound instantly pierced through the tunnel. It was like an invisible arrow shooting out more than 100 feet in an instant. The noise caused the ears of the two women in the sealed tunnel to ring.

Dongfang Liren didn’t dare to stop for a moment. Enduring the pain in her legs, she carried the empress dowager and flew back.

Ye Jingtang couldn’t see anything in the lightless tunnel, but his slash hadn’t been random.

The Heaven Equaling Saber didn’t rely on eyes to see things at all but rather sensed the subtle changes in the environment.

Although Ye Jingtang didn’t see anything in front of him, he could still vaguely catch a figure in front in the tunnel. It was squeezing through the airflow and dust at an incredible speed.

This saber strike slashed accurately at the person’s neck, clearly shocking the opponent.

The white-robed old man had blasted out bricks and stones with two palms, destroying all the light. He couldn’t see anything either, but he could accurately determine his opponent’s movements through breathing, the friction of his robe, and other actions.

When the white-robed old man found that the opponent had raised his saber and aimed directly at his neck, he was shocked. He could tell that the opponent was definitely not an ordinary person. He immediately put his palms together and clamped the Hornless Dragon Saber. With a skillful force to relieve force, he pulled it to the side. At the same time, he leaned his shoulder and fiercely slammed into the opponent’s arms.

Ye Jingtang had used all his strength to launch a surprise attack with his saber, but his opponent had caught his saber empty-handed. Surprise and shock flashed in his heart, but he didn’t retract his saber. Instead, he found firm footing on the ground, straightened his waist, and used the ‘Bear Leans Hard’ move to collide head-on with the opponent’s shoulder.

Boom!

In the narrow tunnel, two extremely surging forces exploded.

The tiles on the ground where the two of them were standing shattered, and lightning-like cracks instantly spread in all directions. The flying dust and soil were dispersed by the forces, and in the blink of an eye, they swallowed the fleeing Dongfang Liren and the horrified Cao Aning on the other side.

Amidst the loud explosion, the white-robed old man didn’t move, but his body was forcefully knocked away. His feet rubbed a more than ten-foot-long groove on the floor tiles.

Whoosh!

Although Ye Jingtang hadn’t been practicing unarmed martial arts for long, his internal energy was indeed a bit stronger. But his striking posture wasn’t as immovable as the white-robed old man’s. He was knocked back a few steps and crushed several tiles.

Tread, tread, tread!

The white-robed old man acutely captured this point. Before the cracks spread and the bricks were about to fall down, his figure pounced forward like a tiger. His two palms smashed toward Ye Jingtang’s chest and abdomen with the force of a golden dragon closing its mouth.

Although his actions were fast and terrifying, the old man’s attack didn’t cause the slightest movement around him from the beginning to the end. All the energy in his body gathered in his palms.

Ye Jingtang felt that this person’s skills were unbelievably high, but it was obvious that he didn’t have enough strength and stamina. He either was an old man or had hidden injuries.

Seeing that his opponent still dared to take advantage of his flaw, the moment Ye Jingtang stabilized himself, he moved his right foot back and slashed his saber horizontally with his left hand, blocking the opponent’s position. At the same time, he clenched his right fist tightly. His muscles bulged as he pulled his arm back and punched forward like a huge cannonball, smashing directly between the opponent’s palms that were put together.

Boom!

This head-on collision was far more powerful than the previous collision.

The shockwave shattered the broken bricks falling from above and sent them flying in all directions, smashing them into the surrounding stone walls.

The white-robed old man’s combined palms bit down on Ye Jingtang’s fist. His sleeves shattered from his cuffs, and the force poured into his chest and abdomen. The back of his robe exploded, and even his tied-up white hair flew out.

Ye Jingtang had planted his feet on the ground and punched out. The clothes on the right side of his body were shattered by the force, revealing half of his silver soft armor. But this time, his lower body was extremely stable. His right foot, which was supporting from the ground, crushed the shattered stone bricks, but his body didn’t move at all.

But the white-robed old man couldn’t stand still this time. The surging fist force penetrated into his body from his palms. The old leg behind him finally failed to hold up and bent. Then the momentum was like a landslide. His entire body was sent flying by the punch and flew deep into the tunnel.

Bumble!

They had only exchanged two blows, but the moment the brick wall exploded, the damaged tunnel began to collapse from above. Then bricks and soil fell down, blocking the middle.

The moment Ye Jingtang threw the punch, the broken bricks and soil had already hit his body. Afraid that he would be buried alive, he immediately sheathed his saber and turned to run.

Dongfang Liren had been swept forward by two consecutive blasts of air from behind. She didn’t understand what was happening and only tried her best to protect the empress dowager as she ran wildly. Just as she took two steps, her body became light. She was grabbed by the waist and sandwiched under an armpit.

The same happened to the empress dowager.. Because she couldn’t see anything, when she realized that her body was out of balance, she hurriedly grabbed the man’s arm…
