Hearing this, Yun Yan really didn't know whether he should appreciate Du Mingyang's precautions or be angry at his viciousness.
But no matter what, Du Mingyang still chose to wait for him here. Yun Yan was not sure whether Du Mingyang was setting up this trap from the beginning, but after all, he volunteered to risk his life to help him.
Therefore, Yunyan planned to give it a try. Even if he failed, the situation would not be worse than now.
So, he said to Du Mingyang.
"Jackal is a strong man at the fourth level of martial arts. Judging from what I observed when I entered the underground palace just now, if you want to trap him here, you may be able to use the huge stone gate of the underground palace."
Du Mingyang was shocked when he heard this, because the news he originally received was that Hu Lang had just broken through to the third level of martial arts, so the information provided by Yun Yan was very crucial to him.
"It seems that you also really hope that the jackal can die here."
"Of course."
Yun Yan replied without any ambiguity, and Du Mingyang suddenly smiled when he saw this.
"Are you really interested in being a dog?"
Yun Yan suddenly asked in astonishment.
"Is there any difference between us?"
"Of course there is a difference, because even if I fail the mission, the Lord will treat my family well."
"So, we are really a little different."
Du Mingyang's face suddenly showed a look of great pride, which made Yun Yan even a little envious, because if those bastards in Tianque had half the ambition of Du Yu, he wouldn't be forced to this point.
But then again, maybe they will be particularly tolerant towards the people of the Nine Provinces Alliance. Otherwise, Hu Bao has been dead for so long and no one has come out to uphold justice.
However, at this moment, a burst of noisy footsteps suddenly came from the corner of the room. Yunyan followed the sound and saw that there was nothing there except a round hole as thick as an arm.
Obviously, the sound came from the round hole.
Du Mingyang sneered at this time.
"As expected, they are still here, so you won't be able to leave through the entrance of the underground palace."
Yun Yan nodded and replied.
"That's right, otherwise our plan would be ruined."
But Du Mingyang reached out and turned a stone lion sculpture on the table in a circle, and then a stone door appeared on the wall on one side of the room.
Du Mingyang pointed to the stone gate passage and said to Yun Yan.
"You can leave the underground palace from here. Remember to destroy the mechanism that is also opened after reaching the exit. In this case, no one in the underground palace can leave alive."
Yunyan investigated for a while and found that the air coming from the passage was flowing. Obviously, this passage did lead to the outside.
So he no longer hesitated and immediately walked towards the entrance of the passage. Just when he was about to leave the room, he heard Du Mingyang suddenly say behind him.
"Please remember your promise."
Yun Yan turned around and clasped her fists in reply.
"a man of his words!"
Immediately, he disappeared into the dark stone door passage.
After Yun Yan left, the noise from the corner became louder and louder, and finally someone walked into the next room.
And Du Mingyang also had a happy smile on his face...
...
Yun Yan kept walking forward along the dark passage. At the same time, he could clearly feel that the passage was spiraling upward, which meant that he was getting closer to the ground.
In order to make it easier to move forward, Yun Yan condensed a ball of flame in front of him, and the entire passage was completely illuminated. However, because the passage was curved, the range of light reaching the front and back was only four to five feet.
By the light of the fire, Yun Yan quickened his pace because he was not sure when Du Mingyang in the underground palace would take action. Just in case, he had to reach the ground as soon as possible.
But when the clouds and smoke illuminated the passage, he discovered that at regular intervals, there were a pair of grooves on the stone walls on both sides of the passage.
Such grooves are obviously used to inlay stone gates that block passages.
Yunyan guessed that Du Mingyang wanted to trap everyone who entered the underground palace to death, and he also wanted to prevent those outside from being rescued in time.
After a while, Yunyan finally arrived at the exit of the passage.
But when he pushed open the stone door blocking the exit, he found that the exit was actually in the middle of a lake, and the ground he could stand on was only about ten feet in diameter.
Yun Yan asked around, and sure enough, on the rock wall outside the stone door, there was a mechanism similar to the stone sculpture on Du Mingyang's table.
But when he turned the mechanism, the stone door at the exit did not move at all. Yunyan immediately recalled Du Mingyang's explanation before he left.
So, he activated his mysterious force and pressed down hard with his palm, crushing the entire stone carving mechanism and sinking it into the rock formation.
Suddenly, Yunyan noticed that the water level around the stone gate of the exit began to gradually rise, and soon only half of the ground that was only ten feet in diameter was left.
It turned out that the place where he was standing was slowly descending, and was about to sink completely under the lake.
Yunyan looked around with the limited moonlight. The exit of Shimen was not very far from the lake shore. Before he was completely submerged by the lake, he jumped up and used the rock wall behind him to fly to the lake shore. superior.
Then, there was only a sound of water pouring in from the center of the lake, and a rapidly rotating vortex appeared in the center of the lake.
Seeing such a scene, Yun Yan finally understood that the blocking stone gates set up in the exit passage were originally to ensure that when the exit of the underground palace was hidden underwater, the lake water would not pour into the underground palace.
But now Du Mingyang used the exit under the lake to deliberately introduce the lake water into the underground palace, so that all the people trapped in the underground palace perished. This was the foolproof way he came up with to deal with the Jackal.
However, just when Yun Yan focused his attention on the water in the center of the lake, a blurry black shadow appeared on the hill behind him.
When Yun Yan noticed someone approaching, the blurry figure was already less than ten feet away from him.
Yun Yan immediately realized that the other party was evil. He instantly released his soul power and poured it into his coat. His whole body suddenly merged with the surrounding darkness and became completely invisible.
At the same moment when the clouds disappeared, the black shadow had arrived at the lake. He carefully inspected the surroundings, and then looked at the willow tree on the lake shore.
"I know you haven't left yet, so it won't help you to hide, because I will definitely find you."
Just as he finished speaking, a cold light shot out from his hand, and the willow tree on the shore of the lake was cut in half by his sword energy.
But until the huge willow tree completely fell to the ground, he found no trace of Yun Yan, but he still refused to give up.
"Your physical skills are indeed very good, but if you think you can escape like this, you are too naive."
Yun Yan was really surprised at this moment, because the cultivation level of this man in black was on par with hers, but he was able to accurately capture his soul power.
Otherwise, how could he have found his position in the first place just now? Yun Yan looked at the sword marks on the cuff of his right arm and secretly speculated in his heart.
"Fortunately, the sword in the hands of this man in black is not of treasure level, otherwise, his low-grade invisible treasure coat would probably be scrapped.
From this it can be seen that the other party is coming for him, but Yun Yan does not understand, the exit of the underground palace should be very hidden, why would someone suddenly appear here, and the purpose is to kill him. "
Just when Yun Yan was confused, the second sword energy was already coming towards him.
Yun Yan didn't have time to think about it, so she immediately dodged and kicked a huge boulder in front of her towards the man in black.
This time he didn't just passively take the beating, but tried a little testing.
Sure enough, the man in black drew his sword when the boulder was about to get close, and the boulder was split into two by him.
Cloud smoke comes from him
It can be seen from the sword moves when taking action that although this person's cultivation level is the same as his, it is obvious that the opponent is a sword cultivator.
Moreover, based on Yun Yan's limited knowledge of swordsmanship, this person's swordsmanship has reached the peak level of Swordsman. As long as he takes one more step, he can break through to the level of Sword King.
But Yun Yan was a little confused, when did he offend such a strong man.
When he stabilized his body, he found that the man in black still refused to give up. Yun Yan suddenly spoke silently.
"Okay, okay, I'll show up!"
After saying that, Yun Yan appeared not far in front of the man in black, and he raised his sleeves and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"This coat of mine is a low-level treasure no matter how you say it, and its biggest feature is that it can hide your body. So I really want to know, how did you discover me?"
The man in black took back his sword and said calmly.
"I didn't find your location, you came out on your own."
"Ah, then how do you find my location every time?"
Yun Yan looked at the man in black with some disbelief. However, the man in black replied after scanning the surrounding environment.
"I just guessed."
Hearing this, Yun Yan was immediately speechless.
"Do you rely on guessing every time you fight with others?"
The man in black shook his head and replied.
"Although it is a guess, it must be based on evidence. For example, where we are standing now, within a few dozen feet there are only the willow tree on the shore of the lake and the huge rock in front of you just now.
And you disappeared right under my nose, so you couldn't go far at all. I just need to feel the flow of the air here, and I can easily determine where you can hide.
So, if I choose one between the willow tree and the boulder, I might guess half of them, which is not a small chance. "
Yun Yan was completely impressed by the explanation of the man in black. He had never seen such a rational practitioner before. Moreover, Yun Yan really admired his fighting philosophy on how to take advantage of geographical advantages when taking action.
Perhaps because Yun Yan was caught off guard by the other party, he over-understood the swordsmanship of the man in black.
This also caused him to lose to the opponent in terms of momentum, and the man in black also accurately captured Yun Yan's timid mentality, because this was the time for him to kill with one strike.
But when the sword light of the man in black pierced Yun Yan's throat like lightning, he unexpectedly discovered that a white light appeared in Yun Yan's hand and stabbed him at the same speed.
This mutual destruction strategy shook the man in black's belief, because his rationality told him that Yun Yan must be a trap to do the opposite.
However, at the moment when he needed to make a judgment, his sword light had fallen behind.
The man in black felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and his body lost all consciousness.
"You didn't stop, it turns out this was not a trap."
A red line appeared on the neck of the man in black, but it was completely frozen by the cold sword energy in an instant.
"You think too much, that's why you die."
As Yun Yan finished speaking, the head of the man in black slowly slid down along the frozen red line, so that his blood would not splash on others.

Fengshen: "Don't add drama to yourself, you are a secondary character in this chapter."
Swordsman in black: "It's hard to show your face for once. Can you please let me leave your name?"

Yang: "Ah, but I'm working very hard. Look, I don't even care about my life."
Fengshen: "Isn't this necessary for the plot?"
