Returnee in Jianghu - C33
After Tang Ming and Red Cherry finished discussing, they pushed open the door that was originally tightly shut.
“This… “What is it?” Red Cherry was almost scared by the “eyes” that were staring at her. She took a closer look and saw that it was a red cat eye.
At Red Cherry and Tang Ming’s feet was a white tail.
“With such a large sum of money, aren’t you afraid that the person who came in was a greedy little person?” Red Cherry covered her mouth and laughed, the tear mark at the corner of her eyes added a little colour to it.
Tang Ming was also stunned by the White Tiger Divine Sparrow in front of him. Just as he was about to say it out loud, Red Cherry said that it was a bit too extravagant.
For example, the cat’s eye that almost scared Red Cherry was only a small piece of ornament from the tail of a sparrow.
“Hmm, why are there two entrances?” Only then did Hong Ying notice that the White Tiger’s wings were bent to the left and right like a door.
“This is one of the special characteristics of the White Tiger Divine Bird Division, the formation within the formation.” Tang Ming pointed at the tightly shut door, “This door leads to the main entrance of the White Tiger Division. However, if you want to open this door, someone has to break through a part of the door from the inside.”
As he spoke, Tang Ming pointed to another door.
“We have to split up?” Hong Ying looked at Tang Ming with worry, “Is your injury alright?”
“It’s nothing serious.” In order to reassure Red Cherry, Tang Ming half-jokingly said, “My life and fortune has been handed over to you.”
“Ha!” Red Cherry didn’t object. She didn’t comment on Tang Ming’s words.
Tang Ming cupped his fists towards Red Cherry, turned around, and walked through the open door.
The further he went, the narrower the road became. There were only a few torches illuminating the area. It was frighteningly quiet. Not long later, Tang Ming reached the end of the road. There was a wall at the end of it.
A wall suddenly descended from the corridor behind him. Tang Ming watched as the wall descended, but he had no intention of blocking it.
When the wall completely fell, Tang Ming knocked on the wall. He could tell how thick the wall was.
The wall was very thick. Tang Ming estimated that he would need to split it open with his sword dozens of times.
However, even though the thick wall isolated the sounds outside to a great extent, Tang Ming could still faintly hear the sound of something moving outside the wall.
Tang Ming looked at the four walls around him and guessed that it was probably the time the mechanism would be activated.
If the trap was that easy to break, the rumor of the Fleeting Blade Master breaking the trap wasn’t something that could be found only in the martial arts world.
Speaking of the Fleeting Blade, Tang Ming, who had nothing better to do, once again began to let his imagination run wild.
Actually, the Fleeting Blade had been famous for the earliest among the four, defeating countless young heroes at the age of twelve. He could be said to be an existence of the same generation as Tang Qing, not to mention that the Fleeting Blade Master had established the number one sword technique in the world.
It was only because the Fleeting Swordsman was erratic and his background was unknown that the geniuses were unwilling to be suppressed by a single root. They had been silently suppressing the Fleeting Swordsman, which was why the Fleeting Swordsman had always been under Tang Qing and Tang Hong.
Even so, the Fleeting Blade was still someone that many people worshipped. Everyone knew that in the martial arts world at that time, only the Fleeting Blade Master could match up to the third young master of the Tang family, Tang Qing.
It was a pity that the Tang Family Stronghold had been set up to be exterminated. The brilliant Tang Qing had also died a violent death, and the Fleeting Swordsman had retreated quickly and without a trace after the disaster in the East.
Tang Qing had a golden age at the time, and there were no swordsmen after he became famous.
Tang Qing was the representative of the Golden Age, and the Swordsman Jing Hong was the pinnacle of swordsmen. Tang Qing’s death meant the end of a prosperous society, and the disappearance of the Swordsman Jing Hong meant the end of an era. Tang Qing and the Swordsman Jing Hong were the representatives of two generations, and to the martial arts world, their names were a special symbol, because there was no one who could surpass Tang Qing and the Swordsman Jing Hong.
Even the Young Noble of the Wushuang, Su Ziyue, could not do it.
Tang Ming was lost in thought when he suddenly felt the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. He immediately regained his senses and, as expected, the four walls began to loosen and slowly rose up.
Tang Ming clenched his heart and vigilantly stood up.
All of a sudden, the surroundings lit up. Tang Ming covered the light with an uncomfortable gaze. It took him a long time before he could adjust to it.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Tang Ming was stunned for a moment.
In the large round hall, there were magnificent decorations. The only difference was that with Tang Ming as the center, there were four entrances: the east, west, south, and north.
Each entrance was accompanied by a map.
“This is …” “Maze?” Tang Ming looked at the map with an uncertain expression.
Was it really that simple?
To others, this maze might be difficult, but to Tang Ming, it was as simple as having Tang Ming Wu perform a basic sword technique.
Tang Ming entered an entrance with a skeptical expression.
When Tang Ming’s two feet stepped into the entrance, the wall that had been lifted up fell back down.
Not good!
Seeing the wall fall, in order to prevent himself from being crushed into a meat patty, Tang Ming immediately flew out of the wall and landed on the ground.
Only when Tang Ming came back to his senses did he have the time to look around. He saw that not even a single strand of hair was spared from the smooth wall, and his body was clearly illuminated. He couldn’t help but feel his surroundings.
Feeling the texture of the wall, Tang Ming’s eyes didn’t even blink. Without saying anything further, he pulled out the heart and fiercely slashed at the wall.
The wall was unscathed.
Is this King Kong?
Tang Ming touched the wall as if he was deep in thought.
King Kong was the hardest mineral that the martial arts people had ever discovered. However, because of its toughness, there was no way to process it. As time passed, King Kong had become worthless.
The reason why Tang Ming was able to confirm that these walls were made of King Kong was because there was a mirror in his master’s room that was made of King Kong.
Suddenly, Tang Ming felt a gust of hot air. He cautiously moved his feet and crawled toward another entrance.
“Boom!”
The flames swept across the street where Tang Ming was standing for a full three breaths of time. After the flames disappeared, Tang Ming came out of the tunnel.
The hot and humid air was so white that it was irritating. Both sides of the Vajra Body had been burnt to a boiling hot state, but it was still in perfect condition.
Diamond was invulnerable, water and fire impermeable. If they could find someone who used diamond to make walls, then they would bring them to the Cloud Sky Sect at all costs.
However, after experiencing the Fire Dragon just now, Tang Ming understood the crux of this trial.
It was just a maze. It was true, but it was not just an ordinary maze. Perhaps the maze was not only full of traps, but because of the wall, it was very easy for people to get lost inside.
If it wasn’t for Tang Ming’s confidence in his own memory, he probably would have given up on himself.
Although it was somewhat troublesome, it wasn’t a problem for Tang Ming.
Tang Ming smirked confidently. At least he had some confidence now. Tang Ming put his hand on his sword down.
Along the way, Tang Ming had gone through mountains of blades and seas of flames.
Upon seeing the eye of the formation, Tang Ming hacked down without hesitation. The wall slowly opened up and another passageway appeared. However, at the entrance of the passageway was a red cat eye and a stone wall.
