Chapter 145: You're Crazy

When Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Zi entered the cave, they found that it was quite deep . For some reason, Xiang Shaoyun had a bad feeling when he entered and saw that the fire could not spread any deeper; the blackcorpse poison had been growing thicker the deeper they went . If they each hadn't swallowed a poison discharge pill in advance, they would have died by now .

"This is troublesome . I never expected the cave to be so deep . Only some of the blackfur corpses have been burned, and we don't know if there are more inside . Just the blackcorpse poison is enough to give us a hard time . " Xiang Shaoyun frowned .

"What should we do? Are we going to give up halfway?" Dong Zi asked .

"Of course not . Activate your shaped energy and try going deeper with the torch . But if we do find that the cave is too deep for us to explore, we will have no choice but to leave," Xiang Shaoyun said .

Thus, the two activated their shaped energy to protect themselves from the poison in the air .

Xiang Shaoyun had the innate purple lightning in him, a power of extreme yang . Thus, any blackcorpse poison, a power with yin property, that approached him would be destroyed .

When Xiang Shaoyun saw that, he was overjoyed .  Why have I not thought of this? Lightning power is actually a counter to the poison!

He was only aware of fire being a counter for poison . But now, he realized that lightning had the same effect as well . As for Dong Zi's shaped energy, it was green in color . Clearly, he cultivated some sort of wood energy that was unable to restrain the poison . Seeing that, Xiang Shaoyun placed his hand on Dong Zi's shoulder, trying to protect Dong Zi with his lightning energy as well .

No matter what kind of background Dong Zi had, Xiang Shaoyun concluded that this was not a scheming person from how stupid he had been so far . Thus, it was unlikely that Dong Zi would be a threat to him .

But as soon as his hand touched Dong Zi's shoulder, Dong Zi moved . He grabbed Xiang Shaoyun's hand with one hand and elbowed Xiang Shaoyun's belly with his other arm . It was a clean and direct attack that was conducted so naturally it seemed like the action was innately ingrained in him . Thus, Xiang Shaoyun, who had just concluded that Dong Zi posed no threat, was immediately struck .

Bang!

Dong Zi attacked with an enormous force that immediately created cracks in Xiang Shaoyun's outer energy . Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun already had his inner energy formed as well . Otherwise, this one attack would have seriously injured him .

And yet Dong Zi did not seem like he was going to stop . He shouted, "I'll kill you, pervert!"

He bent down while still tightly grabbing Xiang Shaoyun's arm and performed a shoulder throw on Xiang Shaoyun .

Bang!

Caught completely off guard, Xiang Shaoyun was slammed onto the ground . Then, Dong Zi drew his sword and stabbed the sword at Xiang Shaoyun, who was still on the ground .

By now, Xiang Shaoyun had already recovered from his shock . His eyes lit up as he stared at the sword, slowing down its movement in his eyes . Its trajectory became clear as day for him as both his hands shot up and clasped the sword in between his palms .

"Are you crazy?" Xiang Shaoyun focused all his power in his voice and yelled .

A slight trace of a tiger's roar was mixed with his voice reverberating throughout the cave . The roar caused Dong Zi's ears to go numb . Taking this opportunity, Xiang Shaoyun pushed the sword to the side before jumping back onto his feet .

"What are you doing?" Xiang Shaoyun glared at Dong Zi .

"I should be the one asking you that question! Why did you touch my shoulder?" Dong Zi glared at Xiang Shaoyun as well .

"You're crazy! My lightning energy is able to restrain the blackcorpse poison here . I was only trying to help protect you from the poison . What's with your extreme reaction? Are you trying to murder me?" Xiang Shaoyun was furious .

That made Dong Zi realize that he had wrongly blamed Xiang Shaoyun . He lowered his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say . Just as he was about to apologize, two black figures suddenly appeared behind him .

"Howl!"

"Be careful!" Xiang Shaoyun was able to see clearly behind Dong Zi since he was facing Dong Zi's front and could see over his shoulders . He yelled and pulled Dong Zi to the side before kicking the two black figures .

Bang! Bang!

Two blackfur corpses were sent flying away . Dong Zi broke out in cold sweat . If Xiang Shaoyun had reacted a tad bit slower, he would have been bitten by the blackfur corpses .

Xiang Shaoyun said, "Do what you want . I'm going in . "

Xiang Shaoyun did not want to drag this on . He held a torch with one hand and the Overlord Skyslaying Saber with the other hand as he started moving again . The two blackfur corpses stood up again but were met with Xiang Shaoyun's slash, which split them into two .

As of this moment, Xiang Shaoyun was starting to get serious . As he advanced, one blackfur corpse after another appeared, and the torch in his hand lit them all up . Instead of wasting more time with them, he advanced the moment he lit one on fire . The deeper he went, the thicker the blackcorpse poison became . Hissing sounds rang out incessantly as the poison corroded his outer energy without stop .

Dong Zi had been sticking close to Xiang Shaoyun while feeling incomparably anxious . He was also a capable combatant, but he had no way of going too deep into the cave . At the same time, he also found the blackfur corpses terrifying . After some hesitation, he took out a stalk of high-grade spirit medicine and stuffed it into his mouth . That was a spirit medicine capable of resisting poison and was even better than the poison discharge pill .

"I won't be a burden!" Dong Zi muttered to himself before running after Xiang Shaoyun with his sword raised .

There was only a limited number of blackfur corpses in the cave . The deeper Xiang Shaoyun went, the fewer blackfur corpses he met . Even so, these newly appeared blackfur corpses were much more zombified and stronger than the ones he had met earlier . If he wasn't a Transformation Realm cultivator, he wouldn't have been able to defeat these corpses with one slash . These new corpses had incredibly tough skin with sparse black furs . Regular fire could no longer harm them .

"This is a sign of these corpses turning into complete zombies," Xiang Shaoyun muttered .

He really could not understand how the Blackhill Sect had only discovered that they were digging up a burial site after mining here for so long . The deeper he went, the more spacious the cave became . It was clear this space was man-made and was not naturally formed .

Currently, Xiang Shaoyun had stopped advancing and was standing there studying a room with pitch-black walls . These pitch-black walls were formed precisely of the blackiron ores the Blackhill Sect was mining .

Xiang Shaoyun had little interest in the blackiron ores . He was currently staring at 36 human-shaped indentations on the ground . There was a zombie in each of them . The zombies were all dressed in ancient armors and were holding on to some weapons with their hands . No sign of life could be seen within them . It was obvious they had been dead for a long time .
