Chapter 53 Abnormality

In front of the cave entrance, the guards talked in low voices from time to time. Some of them even took out snacks from their pockets.

It was a dreary duty to stand guard at midnight. It was easy for one to feel sleepy, so they had to find something to do to pass the time.

Chen Yiming quietly approached the cave entrance. As the guards chatted, he changed his position and finally stopped about 10 meters away.

This was the closest he could get without the guards noticing him.

Chen Yiming used his feet to lightly push against the ground, creating a small disturbance.

The leader of the guards heard the noise and instructed, Li Qingmin, the few of you go over and check out the situation.

Yes, Li Qingmin replied. He quickly called for the two guards beside him and they walked towards Chen Yiming's position.

Under the moonlight, Chen Yiming saw that only three people had come. They were obviously small fries, so he was a little disappointed.

He thought that he could lure a few more guards over and kill as many as possible with one sneak attack.

Otherwise, if the guards scattered and escaped, he might not be able to get all of them.

They were surrounded by forests. In the dark night, as long as they got far enough, it would not be difficult for them to hide for a short period of time.

Suddenly, a white light flashed past.

Li Qingmin's attention was still on the spot where Chen Yiming had made a disturbance when his companions fell to the ground.

He was just about to shout for help when he felt a chill run down his neck. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

This dark environment was the best place for using the Mantis Snake Sword Technique to launch a sneak attack.

Chen Yiming finished off the three guards in less than a second.

The guards at the entrance had just noticed something was amiss when they saw a figure charging out of the darkness.

The figure was Chen Yiming.

The three guards who had been killed were still standing in their positions.

Don't panic. Form up and stand guard. There's only one of them, the leader of the guards shouted.

The guards immediately hid behind the leader and raised their weapons, forming a semicircle to deal with Chen Yiming's sneak attack.

Chen Yiming couldn't help but smile.

If the guards scattered and escaped, it would be troublesome for him to chase them one by one.

Now that they were huddled together, he could completely unleash his full strength without fear of others discovering his secret.

Deng Hu, who was the only one who could see all of this, was also very far away. Coupled with the dark night, he could not see anything other than that the guards had been wiped out.

In the blink of an eye, a thin red line appeared on the necks of each of the guards who were standing in formation around their leader, and their bodies lost all their strength and fell to the ground.

Chen Yiming stood a few meters away from the leader and watched everything unfold. This was the first time that he had used the Chen Style Sword Technique in combat, but it had already revealed its extraordinary aspects. The illusion from the Phantom Sword Technique was combined with the high speed, explosive power of the Mantis Snake Sword Technique at a short distance.

It was as though the guards had all just stood still waiting for him to kill them.

F*ck, who on earth managed to provoke a God of Death of this level? The leader of the guards cursed in his heart and turned to escape into the cave.

He couldn't even see Chen Yiming's speed clearly, so he didn't have the courage to fight. The sword flashed again. The head of the leader of the guards flew into the air, and his body continued moving forward a few steps due to inertia before collapsing in front of the cave entrance.

Too slow,

Chen Yiming muttered as he walked straight into the hole.

Behind him, not far from the cave entrance, the head of the leader of the guards wore a fearful expression on his face. His eyeballs were bulging so much that his eyes could not be closed.

Upon entering the cave, a staircase leading underground came into view.

At the end of the stairs was a rectangular space with stone chambers on both sides. There were a total of eight chambers.

On the walls outside of the stone chambers, lit torches were hung every few meters.

It was clear that the space beneath the hole was a dungeon to hold captives.

At this moment, a few chairs in the space were still swaying back and forth.

Chen Yiming took a quick look and walked down the stairs.

Until he reached the open space, he did not see any traps along the way, nor did he encounter any guards to block his way. %$%*

Various sounds rang out from within the stone chambers.

When the people inside heard the disturbance at the entrance and realized that the guards in the open space had disappeared, a commotion broke out.

Chen Yiming looked at the noisy stone chambers that were like a wet market and felt frustrated.

If he just opened the doors and let all the people out, things might get chaotic.

He could only walk to the metal window of each stone chamber one by one and search for Chen Shaojie.

Not long after, he finally found Chen Shaojie in the fifth stone chamber. Chen Shaojie was in an abnormal state. His body was curled up into a ball.

He was trembling and twitching non-stop, as though he was enduring intense pain.

What's going on? What did the people here do to Chen Shaojie? Chen Yiming's expression changed. This situation was beyond his expectations.

In just a few hours, the situation had gotten this bad.

Hurry up and let us out, the people locked up inside shouted.

The group quickly moved to the metal window and banged on it. Most of them were dirty and ragged, and looked like beggars. Even through the metal window, a bad smell wafted over to him. He didn't have time to think too much about it. Chen Yiming took a few steps back and walked around to the front of the metal door. He kicked it open in one move and quickly stood to the side and waited.

A few seconds later, more than ten prisoners rushed out of the stone chamber through the metal door. Without saying a word of thanks to Chen Yiming, they ran towards the cave entrance.

Chen Yiming narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was amiss.

Only after everyone in the stone chamber had escaped did he enter the chamber.

Cousin Chen Shaojie raised his hand with much difficulty.

His voice was hoarse and his breathing was weak, as though he could die at any moment.

Chen Yiming walked over and helped him up. He then carried him on his shoulders and walked out of the stone chamber.

Before leaving, he kicked down all the metal doors in succession then quickly brought Chen Shaojie away.

While Chen Yiming was rescuing Chen Shaojie, on a high ground a few kilometers away from the dungeon, a tall muscular man questioned the guard who had run over to ask for help, Is someone invading the dungeon? They were at the highest point in the surrounding terrain, allowing them to intercept any intruders at any time.

The tall muscular man was in charge of an intercepting team, like the woman in the black dress, except that he was assigned to watch another direction.

Yes, the intruder killed Lord An Qingshan, who was at the entrance of the dungeon. I saw that something was amiss and immediately ran out of the emergency passage, the guard who had come to ask for help explained.

All right, you go back and continue observing the situation. I will go find the other two intercepting teams to regroup and support you, the taller man replied.

This The guard didn't know how to reply.

If he went back to observe the situation, he might run into the intruder along the way.

When he thought of this, he shuddered.

Alright, you guys have to provide support as soon as possible, the guard who asked for help replied after thinking for a few seconds.

He turned around and quickly rushed towards the dungeon.

After walking for about a kilometer, it was impossible for the people behind to see him. He immediately changed direction.

A few minutes passed.

Big Brother, aren't we going to provide support? a subordinate beside the tall man asked.

Are you stupid? If you want to go, go by yourself, the tall man said. An Qingshan was the last line of defense for the dungeon, but even he couldn't stop the intruder. Do you want us to die?

Besides, I don't believe that guy will really go back and investigate the situation, the tall man added. After this, we'll all pretend not to know what happened.
