The caves of martial masters are where they usually practice and where they ask their disciples to retreat. They are like the lair of practitioners. Practitioners inevitably have rivals, so they are naturally very concerned about their lair and often deploy many means. Even if it is a strong man of the same level, it is difficult to force his way into the opponent's lair.
Of course, the premise is that the owner of the cave is still alive. Once the owner of the cave dies, the power of the cave's prohibition will naturally be greatly reduced. In addition, some powerful practitioners will leave a legacy in their caves after death, set up tests, and pass on their practice. Of course, there are also some evil people who use the caves to set up powerful killing methods. Anyone who enters the cave will die.
Wow~
Yang Qi carefully placed the jade pendant into the groove. The next moment, the entire jade pendant was directly immersed in the stone gate. The formation on the stone gate was also activated instantly, and then the stone gate slowly opened.
Behind the stone gate is a huge palace. The cave and the secret realm are somewhat similar, but the cave is a place for the strong to practice, while the secret realm is mainly used by the group.
“The vitality of heaven and earth is so weak?” Yang Qi frowned slightly. The vitality of heaven and earth in the cave in front of him was not even as good as that in the secret realm of the Long family.
You have to know that this cave was left behind by a martial arts master. It was the place where the martial arts master practiced during his lifetime. The places where they practiced were generally places with extremely rich heaven and earth energy. However, the heaven and earth energy in the cave in front of him was so thin that an ordinary martial arts master would probably not even look at it.
The palace was empty, and there were some sword marks left on the stone walls of the cave. The whole palace looked a little dilapidated, as if it had experienced a great battle.
"There's no danger at all?"
Yang Qi was stunned. He had not encountered any danger along the way. In the palace, he could still see some traces left by practitioners.
After passing through the hall, Yang Qi came to an open space where there were some remaining broken black weapons. Next to it were several spacious stone rooms, which should be the place where the owner of the cave taught his disciples during his lifetime.
Unfortunately, these places were also empty, without even a corpse.
“It’s really weird.” Yang Qi frowned slightly. The whole cave was filled with weirdness. Although it was called a cave, it looked like it had been robbed.
Passing through the stone chamber is a long staircase, and at the end of the staircase is an independent small temple.
"This is..." Walking up the stairs, Yang Qi suddenly felt that the small hall in front of him exuded an aura that made his heart palpitate. This was not the aura from a strong man, but a unique artistic conception.
"Sword Intention!"
Yang Qi's face changed. He felt the sword intent from the small hall.
It is very difficult for a martial arts master to comprehend the artistic conception of sword power. As for sword intent, even a martial arts master may not be able to comprehend it. If mastering sword power is considered the entry into the way of swordsmanship, then mastering sword intent is already the first glimpse into the way of swordsmanship.
"How come there are remnants of sword intent here?" Yang Qi frowned slightly, but when he took a few steps forward and saw the full picture of the small hall, he understood.
The small hall has been split into two. Because Yang Qi was under the stone steps before, he could only see the side of the small hall. Now that he came to the front, he found that the small hall was split into two by a sword light, and the sword intent was emanating from the sword mark in the small hall.
"The owner of the cave must have experienced a great battle in his life, but there are no signs of battle on the island. Did he win or escape?" Looking at the small temple not far away, Yang Qi thought to himself.
The owner of the cave spread the message of the cave, and obviously did not die directly in this battle. He either defeated the powerful enemy or escaped with the cave.
The cave itself is considered a special kind of weapon. Once refined, it can be carried with you. However, the cost and requirements of refining a cave are very high. Generally, only strong people at the level of Martial Honor can refine a cave.
"The answer should be in this small hall." Looking at the small hall in front of him, Yang Qi walked over quickly.
Whoosh~
Just as Yang Qi was about to approach the small hall, a figure quickly rushed out from the stone hall.
"Is there someone?" Yang Qi's face changed when he saw the figure flying out. This cave has existed for who knows how many years, and he only opened it with the help of the jade pendant. How could there be a living person inside
Wow~
The figure stopped in front of the stone temple, motionless.
"Puppet." Feeling that the figure had no life at all, Yang Qi immediately understood that the figure was a puppet. This puppet was different from the corpse puppet he had seen in the Blood Demon Sect. Corpse puppets were relatively simple to refine, while real puppets were endless and costly to refine.
clang~
The long sword in the puppet's hand shook and pointed at Yang Qi from a distance.
“Do I have to defeat the puppet to enter the stone hall?” Yang Qi’s eyes focused, and he immediately understood that in order to enter the stone hall, he must defeat the puppet in front of him.
Obviously, this puppet is a test left by the cave owner. If you can't even defeat the puppet, you naturally can't get the treasure left by the cave owner.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi did not hesitate at all. He shook his sword and a powerful aura emanated from his body. This was his first time to take action after becoming an eight-star martial artist!
Whoosh~
At this moment, the puppet not far away took action. Its figure flashed like thunder and instantly appeared in front of Yang Qi.
Wow~
The puppet swung the sword in its hand and chopped it fiercely towards Yang Qi.
"Fresh breeze."
Yang Qi swung his sword to block the incoming sword.
"Bang~"
The long sword chopped down with a muffled sound, and Yang Qi suddenly felt a huge force coming down, and the whole person was directly blown away by the terrible force.
“What a strong force.”
Yang Qi's face changed. The bodies of the puppets were made of precious materials. Even the worst puppet could not be destroyed by him now.
Whoosh~
After missing the first attack, the puppet flashed and rushed towards Yang Qi again. Its speed was even faster than before.
“The speed is surprisingly so fast.” Yang Qi’s face darkened. This speed was already comparable to his full strength.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The long sword in the puppet's hand shook, and turned into a sword light that filled the sky, attacking Yang Qi like a tide.
"Speed, strength, physique, and even swordsmanship are so exquisite." Yang Qi resisted the puppet's sword moves, but his face became a little ugly.
Although the strength displayed by this puppet is only at the level of an eight-star martial artist, it has almost no weaknesses and its body is indestructible. Even a top martial artist would find it difficult to defeat the puppet in front of him.
"Trouble." As soon as they fought, Yang Qi judged the puppet's combat power.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The sword moves in the puppet's hand kept changing. Although there was no sword momentum, its powerful force easily suppressed Yang Qi, forcing Yang Qi to defend himself.
Terrible forces continued to come down, and Yang Qi's arms were a little numb, but the puppet's attacks were becoming more and more fierce.
"Bang~"
Suddenly, the sword in the puppet's hand changed, a terrible power fell, and Yang Qi's body was blown away directly.
"Wow~"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Yang Qi's face turned pale. (To be continued)
