If an ordinary cultivator were to encounter a monster of laws like the hunchbacked old man, he would definitely be a tribulation that could not be resolved.
It would be considered lucky if they could escape alive, and there was a 90% chance that they would lose their lives.
If it appeared in the mortal world, it was enough to bring chaos to the common people, causing hundreds of millions of lives to be lost.
Even if they managed to destroy it by chance, it wouldn’t take long for it to reappear in front of them.
As long as the rules still existed, monsters would not truly die.
Everyone, including Tang Zhen, had to find the crux of the problem if they wanted to kill the powerful monsters of laws.
If he couldn’t find it, he definitely couldn’t kill it.
The wisest thing to do when encountering such a monster of laws was to avoid it as much as possible.
If he couldn’t avoid it, he would have to follow the rules of the monster’s existence and try to resolve the crisis.
For example, before this, Tang Zhen had chosen to spend money to avoid disaster because the hunchbacked old man needed law fragments.
Money could be used to buy one’s life, and losing money could avoid disaster.
Tang Zhen did not have the confidence to kill him in a single strike, and he did not want to create too much of a commotion. Hence, he had to follow the hunched old man’s rules.
In such a special environment, it was best to avoid fighting in such situations.
Fortunately, the other party did not want his life. Otherwise, Tang Zhen would not have any choice and could only fight with the other party.
Tang Zhen continued to move forward after leaving the mine.
As soon as they turned into a mine, they heard a noise. It turned out that there was a fight ahead.
The two Lou Cheng cultivators fought against the four tribesmen. Both sides were fighting for a piece of the remains sealed in the crystal mine.
This piece of debris was quite special. It had been deliberately preserved by the miners at that time and stood in the central area of the mine.
It was like a work of art that was deliberately displayed.
One could see the blood flowing like gemstones and a large piece of bone marrow that looked like gold through the transparent crystal mine.
This fragment was enough to be called a treasure.
It was no wonder that these cultivators would start a war to s.n.a.t.c.h it. It was very rare to find remains of such quality, and they were definitely the best cultivation resources.
According to his calculations, the loucheng cultivators should have found the fragment first and then encountered the tribal cultivators later.
the cultivators of the tribe relied on their numbers to try to kill and steal the treasures, which was why they were fighting such a fierce battle.
The cultivators of loucheng city did not have the advantage in numbers, but their combat power was stronger. At this moment, the two sides were equally matched.
However, as time pa.s.sed, the advantage of the Lou Cheng cultivators would become smaller and smaller.
This kind of battle could change at any time. No matter which side’s reinforcements appeared, they could completely crush the other side.
Tang Zhen should have ignored the bad att.i.tude of these cultivators. Anyway, he could still hold on for a while and might get help from other cultivators.
However, Tang Zhen was very clear that it wouldn’t be long before the main force of the tribe’s cultivators arrived.
If the two cultivators of loucheng city were surrounded by the enemy, they would most likely die Here.
He clearly knew that a fatal danger was about to arrive, yet he did not act to rescue and warn them. This was definitely not Tang Zhen’s style of doing things.
“Go!”
Just as the cultivators from both sides were fighting, two hideous heads suddenly flew over, dragging along gloomy flames.
“What the h.e.l.l is this?”
the cultivators of the tribe who had been attacked were slightly shocked, but they immediately recognized the head, and their expressions turned vicious.
One of the cultivators from the tribe looked around with his blood-red eyes and quickly locked onto Tang Zhen’s position.
“I’m going to kill him!”
The cultivator from the tribe growled and was about to attack Tang Zhen because one of the heads was from his tribe.
“Are you going to give up your bone marrow and blood circulation to let these two cultivators go?”
A cultivator from the tribe asked coldly. He didn’t want to give up the benefits in front of him. He also knew that if he attacked Tang Zhen, he would lose the advantage in numbers.
Not only would the two cultivators of Lou Cheng escape, but the remains that they were determined to get might also be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the other party.
I don’t care. Today, this cultivator from Lou Cheng must die!
As the blood-eyed cultivator spoke, he had already pounced towards Tang Zhen like a ferocious beast that was about to devour a person.
“Hmph!”
Tang Zhen did not hesitate. He swiftly turned around and left.
He had already done his best by luring an enemy away so that the cultivators of the tribe could not surround him.
If the two Lou Cheng cultivators fought with their lives, not only would they have a chance to escape, but they might even defeat the other party.
Once they won, they would obtain the bone marrow and blood circulation.
If they were greedy and continued to stay and fight for it, then they deserved this.
After Tang Zhen disappeared, the two cultivators from Lou Cheng looked at each other and decisively chose to retreat.
They were naturally able to tell that Tang Zhen was helping to share the pressure. However, he did not have any intention of staying.
If the three Lou Cheng cultivators worked together, they would be able to kill the four tribesmen and get the living blood bone marrow.
The fact that Tang Zhen didn’t do this was something worth considering. It was extremely likely that danger was approaching from behind.
After realizing this, the two cultivators of Lou Cheng didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly left the area.
Seeing this, the three tribesmen didn’t dare to continue chasing for fear of falling into the trap of the loucheng cultivators.
They immediately worked together to excavate the fragment of the remains. Only then would they be at ease when the treasure fell into their bags.
It didn’t take long for a group of tribal cultivators to appear. When they saw that their companions were excavating the crystal mine, they didn’t stop and continued to move forward.
The three cultivators cursed in their hearts.
If their accomplices had come a step earlier, the three cultivators of loucheng city, including Tang Zhen, would not have been able to escape alive.
His heart was filled with endless hatred for Tang Zhen, who was causing trouble. He was determined to kill him.
They followed the path that Tang Zhen had disappeared into and quickly chased after him. They wanted to provide military support to their companions.
However, he did not walk far before he saw a headless corpse lying on the ground of the crystal mine’s tunnel.
Looking at the appearance of the corpse, it was obvious that it was the accomplice who was chasing after Tang Zhen. Unfortunately, it was already beheaded.
The three cultivators were shocked to see this. They were not far from the battle, but they didn’t hear anything.
The accomplice who wanted to kill Tang Zhen might have been killed by Tang Zhen, who was pretending to escape, just after he left the team.
The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. The three cultivators immediately gave up on the idea of chasing after Tang Zhen.
The eight heads that were fluttering behind Tang Zhen caused one to feel anger and fear just by looking at them. However, there were many enemies who wanted to kill him, causing the number of heads to continuously increase.
At this moment, the number of heads would probably increase by one.
After coming to a decision, the three tribesmen immediately changed directions and chased after the main force.
Just after they left, Tang Zhen’s figure flashed in the mine ahead.
Just as the three cultivators had expected, another head appeared on the floating head behind Tang Zhen.
At this moment, his face was filled with malevolence as he glared at his disappearing companions, as if he wanted to devour their flesh and blood.
“The Lou Cheng cultivators are gradually approaching the depths of the mine, and the tribal cultivators are also approaching. It won’t be long before we meet.
There must be a huge secret hidden in this ancient mine. Perhaps there was really an inheritance of ancient creatures.
However, it was not as easy as one would imagine to obtain benefits. It was very likely that one would lose their life.
Although I don’t want to join in the fun, if this inheritance is fated with me, I can try to fight for it.
Once you successfully obtain the inheritance, your status will rise rapidly, and you should have more opportunities to come into contact with core secrets.”
The peak divine general guarding outside was obviously coveting the inheritance of the ancient creature. However, this was not the reason for Tang Zhen to be afraid.
If there was a chance, Tang Zhen would not hesitate even if it meant s.n.a.t.c.hing food from the hands of a peak divine general.
In this way, he would become a thorn in the side of peak immortal generals and would be attacked for revenge.
However, such a possibility was not a reason for Tang Zhen to let go.
If it were any other cultivator, they would be in a difficult situation after offending a peak-stage divine general.
However, Tang Zhen was different. If anyone dared to court death, he would send his main body out and let the other party know what was called too late to regret.
