Chapter 484: Tiannan"s catacombs opens
26th of April.
Inside green wheat mountain.
At this moment, the entrance to the cave in the middle of the valley had been directly excavated.
Countless cannons were aimed at them from all around the valley.
Even further out, countless modern military equipment was ready to strike at any time.
"If someone really manages to get out ... Green wheat mountain will cease to exist."
Tang Feng said softly. He then shook his head slightly and said,"But when that time comes, if we can"t stop them ... That means there"s more than one rank-9. It won"t be of much use, actually,"
It was not difficult for modern technological weapons to deal with powerhouses below rank-7.
There was actually a chance to deal with some rank-7 powerhouses.
"The military even has real energy stone giant cannons. They"re extremely powerful. With countless energy stone giant cannons firing at the same time, it won"t be difficult to kill those rank-7s.
However, at rank-8 ... These items were practically useless.
A rank-8 golden body was said to be undying and imperishable.
Although rank-8s could die too, powerhouses would only be killed by powerhouses. Even if these people were at the center of the nuclear explosion, unless they were idiots and did not move at all, they would be gone before your weapon even fell.
The temperature at the center of the nuclear explosion was enough to vaporize all imperishable matter.
The key was that it was too mobile and could not be hit.
The destructive power at the edge might not be able to kill these rank-8s.
Fang ping was not too concerned about this. Instead, he looked around and said,"Grandmasters are everywhere. I"ve seen more than 80 of them. There are even five to six rank-9!"
"Instructor Tang, you"re only a rank-7, and you"ve just entered. You won"t be at the front, will you?" Fang ping said softly.
In terms of danger, the people in front of him were more dangerous.
"On mcmau"s side, the Vice-Chancellor is at the front, we"ll follow behind," Tang Feng shook his head and said softly.
"Rank-9 powerhouses. There are a total of 12 of them this time!" He added.
"So many?"
Fang Ping"s face was full of shock. 12 rank-9S. He had never seen them before ... No, he did not even know that many rank-9s.
Currently, the only rank-9 powerhouses he knew were Wu Chuan, Zhao xingwu, Nan yunyue, Zhang Weiyu, and elder fan.
Fang ping saw Nan yunyue and Zhang Weiyu. Wu Chuan, who had always been everywhere, was not around this time.
It was normal for Zhang Weiyu to be here. He was The Guardian of the West.
Tiannan catacombs, which was located in the southwest region, was under his jurisdiction.
These people were all guarding the valley and had not left.
Tang Feng introduced them to Fang ping in a low voice, signaling,"Do you see that square-faced middle-aged man in the North?"
"Yes."
"He"s a top-tier powerhouse from the central government, a rank-9 Grandmaster, w.a.n.g Yu. He"s ranked tenth in Sino nation"s rank-9."
"Him? The one behind Guardian Wu?"
Fang ping hurriedly cast a few mentality barriers and said in a low voice,""Even old Wu is so weak. Why did the central government send this Grandmaster here?"
Tang Feng"s expression was dark!
"F * ck, what rank do you think you are?
He was tenth in rank-9, and you despised him for being weak?
No, even Wu Chuan was being despised!
Tang Feng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice,"don"t talk nonsense. Grandmaster w.a.n.g Yu isn"t weak. With the sky-piercing spear, he managed to earn the t.i.tle of Northern spear King at rank-6."
"Northern spear King?"
"Could there be another Southern spear King?" Fang ping whispered.
"Yes, but he didn"t come this time."
"The one in the Northwest, the one next to Grandmaster w.a.n.g Yu, Dragon King linlong. He"s also a Grandmaster cla.s.s powerhouse from the central government," Tang Feng continued.
Fang ping nodded and continued,"I think I"ve seen his profile before. He"s ranked 17th on the rank-9 ranking list."
"Yes, that"s him." "The white-haired one in the West, the long-haired one ..." Tang Feng continued.
Fang ping said hurriedly,"I"ve seen the photo. Axe King Xing Kaiwen. Ranked 21st in rank-9. I heard that he used a sword when he was young. Later, he was beaten until he broke down and changed to an axe ..."
"Don"t talk nonsense ... Guardian Wu did it,"Tang Feng coughed and said in a low voice.
"Ah?"
"When Guardian Wu was young, he was ... He was also rather arrogant. The old Vice-Chancellor was an expert in using the sword. At that time, the axe King called himself the sword King ... Anyway, he was just casually saying it. In the end, Guardian Wu wasn"t too happy about it ... After sparring with him a few times, he forced him to change to using an axe."
"Cough, cough, cough ..."
Fang ping chuckled,"there"s such a thing?" I didn"t expect this. "
"There are many things you don"t know." Tang Feng also laughed."By the way, there"s also a swordsman here. He"s the one from the East. He"s wearing a military uniform. Do you know him?"
Fang ping stared at him for a while. In the end, he seemed to have been discovered. The stern-looking middle-aged man glanced at him and nodded slightly. He was still considered friendly.
Tang Feng and Fang ping nodded hurriedly in acknowledgment. Fang ping whispered, "I"m not too familiar with him. He"s dressed like commander Zhou. Is he the Deputy commander of the military?"
"Yes, the Deputy commander who is ranked second in the military ..."
Fang ping immediately understood."Got it. Great Grandmaster li deyong. Old man Li mentioned it once. He"s considered commander Li"s half-disciple, and he"s a distant relative of old man Li ..."
Tang Feng glared at him. This kid had always been unruly when it came to shouting.
Tang Feng was too lazy to correct him, so he explained, "We"re not related by blood. Li is a common surname, but he is indeed from the same hometown as old Li ... President li.
He"s the primary person in charge of the military department this time. "
Fang ping nodded. He had gotten to know quite a few rank-9 grandmasters this time.
One of the three department heads had arrived.
One of the four great guardians had arrived.
The few Grandmaster powerhouses from the central government, the military, and the civilian Grandmaster powerhouses ... They might be civil, but they held high or low positions in the government.
After some consideration, Fang ping was a little speechless."Martial arts universities don"t even have rank-9 ..."
"The Education Department does. The martial arts universities have only been established for a short time. There are some rank-7 and rank-8 ones, but not many rank-9 ones. However, strictly speaking, the Dragon King, Lin Long, and Guardian Wu, The Guardian of the South, are all considered martial arts university students.
"Dragon King graduated from ccmau, while Guardian Wu graduated from mcmau ... They"re currently the most outstanding graduates of the two elite universities.
The others ... Were actually not young anymore.
A portion of it comes from the sect ..."
"A sect?" Fang ping was surprised,"from a sect?" Isn"t Alliance master Zhao the only rank-9 in the sect?"
"I"m talking about their past ident.i.ties. Before ccmau was established, the sect was the only source of martial arts knowledge for the common people. Among these people, some of them learned their martial arts Foundation from the sect, and later left the sect."
Tang Feng said with a smile,"where do you think the powerhouses and instructors came from when martial arts universities were first established?" The government had nurtured some of them, but some of them were actually converted from the sects.
"Even mcmau, when the school was first established, recruited some people from the sects to be instructors. My instructor actually comes from the world of sects."
"I see!"
"Instructor, is there only one rank-9 graduate in ccmau?" Fang ping asked.
"More than that ... But he died in battle."
Tang Feng sighed softly,"many grandmasters from ccmau died in the capital city catacombs battle back then, including rank-9 powerhouses." "Compared to ccmau, mcmau"s Foundation is still inferior."
Fang ping did not ask any more questions and looked around.
He also saw many familiar faces.
Chen yaoting, su Zhan, and some of the grandmasters who had attended the grandmasters "banquet before.
He also saw Li Mo!
Furthermore, there were quite a number of grandmasters with Li Mo. Fang ping took a glance and saw seven to eight people!
The Grandmaster of star suppression city!
Seeing that Fang ping was looking in the direction of Saturn city, Tang Feng continued,""There"s also a rank-9 Grandmaster in Star Town City, Grandmaster yang daohong. "
"The Yang family? The descendant who died at the peak?"
"It should be,"
Fang ping muttered,"according to pudgy Jiang and the others, not all of the 13 families in Star Town City have a rank-9 Grandmaster. Even if they do, it"s the limit for each family to have one."
So ... The Yang family"s strongest is here?"
The Yang family"s old ancestor had fallen, and now even the strongest rank-9 had come. It could be seen that this matter was still extremely important.
Just as he was speaking, Lu fengrou stepped on the air and came over. She shouted in a low voice,"You guys retreat first!"
"Is it about to open?" Fang ping asked hurriedly.
"Soon, within these few hours!"
At that moment, the rank-9 grandmasters outside the pa.s.sageway were also whispering.
Fang ping did not delay. He turned to w.a.n.g Jinyang and Qin Fengqing and said, "Let"s retreat first and dig a hole in the nearby mountain to hide ..."
Lu fengrou"s brows twitched continuously when she heard this.
Tang Feng"s face was also dark. He shouted in a low voice,"Retreat to the bottom of the mountain!"
What was this guy thinking?
Dig a hole and hide?
Fang ping coughed dryly."It"s dark under the light. If they really did rush out, it"s actually safer here. Besides, it"s easier to observe from here. Besides, we might not even be able to get out. "
Tang Feng still wanted to continue, but Nan yunyue shouted from below,""Get into position!"
As soon as she said this, Lu fengrou quickly said,"No one will care if you live or die later. You have to protect yourselves!"
After saying that, Lu fengrou and Tang Feng quickly landed in the valley.
The other grandmasters also landed, including the experts from star suppression city.
There were still a few grandmasters on the surrounding mountains who had yet to land. Instead, they were guarding the four directions.
Some of the middle-ranked martial artists in the Army did not leave either. They were making their own arrangements.
In the huge Valley, including its surroundings, only Fang ping and the few other idle people were there.
On ccmau"s side, li Hansong quickly ran over, looking slightly worried,"Our princ.i.p.al is here too. Dean su is here too. I hope everything is fine."
Ccmau had sent two grandmasters this time, the peak rank-8 Vice-Chancellor and the rank-7 su Zhan.
As Fang ping walked toward another mountain, he said,""It"ll be fine. There are so many grandmasters here, and there are even a lot of rank-9s. It"s not that easy for something to happen. Let"s find a place to hide first, so we don"t get killed by our own people. "
Fang ping looked around him. He could feel the sense of danger.
This wasn"t the lock-on of an expert, but the lock-on of a technological weapon.
If anything were to happen to the pa.s.sageway, this place would be razed to the ground.
Fang ping did not want to be killed by his own people instead of the enemy. At that time, the government would not give up on the military attack just because he and the few of them were there.
……
After a while, the four of them quickly dug a hole on another mountain.
The few of them entered the hole and covered the top with a huge rock, revealing a small gap that allowed them to see the situation at the entrance of the pa.s.sage.
Li Hansong said unconfidently,"is there any use in digging a hole here?" If we really did rush out, they would be able to find us with a sweep of their spiritual power. "
"Cut the c.r.a.p, I have my own ways when the time comes."
As Fang ping said this, he said softly,"besides, do you really want the enemy to rush out?" With nearly a hundred grandmasters guarding this place, we"ll be finished if they rush out!"
"I know. I don"t want the catacombs martial artists to rush out either. I"m just worried ..."
Li Hansong was still a little nervous. He was really nervous.
He didn"t even get to see a battle where hundreds of grandmasters gathered, not even when the six cities in the capital had joined forces.
"Previously, during the capital city catacombs "great battle, a few rank-9s partic.i.p.ated in the high-ranked battle. There were not many rank-7s and 8s, only a dozen of them.
It was not like the heavenly South, where hundreds of people had gathered.
The few of them talked in low voices, and time pa.s.sed by slowly.
Fang ping could sense that in the alloy house, the energy fluctuation of the vortex was gradually becoming stronger and faster.
From the looks of it, the pa.s.sageway would open very soon.
At this moment, Fang ping also saw the grandmasters "movements below.
A few rank-9 grandmasters had their own divine weapons appear in their hands one after another. Wu kuishan and the others also had their divine weapons appear in their hands quickly.
"However, not many rank-7 and 8 martial artists have divine weapons.
There were about 80 to 90 rank-7 and 8 martial artists present, and only about ten of them had divine weapons.
However ... When he saw the group of people from Star Town City, Fang ping could not help but say in a low voice,""Zhenxing city is so rich! Everyone is wearing a magic weapon!"
Qin Fengqing whispered,"I heard from pudgy Jiang that there are nearly a hundred divine weapons in Star Town City!" "It"s normal if you think about it. They have more than ten patriarchs. They"ve suppressed the catacombs for hundreds of years and killed one demonic beast a year. That"s already so many. "
Just as they were speaking, Nan yunyue, who was holding a short blade, shouted,""Rank-9 martial artists, get ready to enter!"
As soon as he said that, the rank-9 martial artists took a step forward one after another. The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
In the sky above the valley, even the White clouds were instantly crushed by the Qi dynamic of the experts and disappeared.
Fang ping and the others did not speak anymore. The huge green wheat mountain was deathly silent at this moment.
In such a quiet environment, Nan yunyue suddenly roared!
"In!"
The next moment, more than ten rank-9 powerhouses leaped and stepped into the vortex directly.
Less than three seconds after he stepped into the vortex, the vortex hole began to fluctuate violently. An extremely rich energy burst out of the vortex hole. The explosion of energy almost instantly deformed and collapsed the alloy house!
Fang Ping"s expression was extremely grim!
A great battle had erupted in the pa.s.sageway!
There were too many powerhouses taking part in the battle. The energy directly overflowed and exploded the alloy house made of A-grade alloy!
The strength of A-grade alloy could not withstand the power of these top powerhouses.
The moment the energy tide erupted, not only did it blow up the alloy house, but the valley was also instantly split open. Some small hills were directly swept flat.
Outside the pa.s.sage, the grandmasters did not take any action to defend.
After waiting for about ten seconds, a rank-8 middle-aged man in military uniform shouted,""Rank-8, enter!"
As soon as he said that, more than 20 Golden body powerhouses jumped out and stepped into the vortex hole in an instant.
Fang ping saw Wu kuishan and Chen yaoting.
BOOM!
The energy tide at the vortex hole erupted even more violently. The entire Valley was swept over and over again, and it caved in a few meters deep.
The expressions of Fang ping and the others were heavy. The battle in the pa.s.sageway was more intense than expected!
More than ten rank-9s and more than twenty rank-8s had entered, but they had not been able to drive the enemy out of the pa.s.sageway. It was clear that the abilities of the enemies in the pa.s.sageway should not be weaker than those here!
"Has cave one mobilized all of their forces?"
At this moment, everyone had the same thought.
If not for that, The Guardian demonic plants would have been extremely huge and it would have been difficult for them to enter the pa.s.sageway. Some of The Guardian demonic beasts were also extremely huge and might not have been able to enter.
There were 11 castellans in 11 cities. That was only 11 rank-9 powerhouses.
It must be known that Nan yunyue, Zhang Weiyu and the rest were the top powerhouses in the heavenly South Region.
However, even with so many people, they were still unable to force the other party to retreat. It could be seen that the other party might have more than 11 rank-9s. There might also be peak powerhouses like Nan yunyue.
Outside the vortex, there were still a large number of rank-7 martial artists who had yet to enter.
Among them, there were many military grandmasters in military uniforms standing in front, waiting for the right time.
Just as Fang ping and the others were worried, the vortex suddenly fluctuated.
The next moment, a few figures stepped out of the vortex.
The grandmasters on the outside did not even see who it was. At this moment, Fang ping saw Lu fengrou"s saber, Tang Feng"s fist, su Zhan"s spear ...
The grandmasters attacked the moment the other party stepped out.
BOOM!
Countless amounts of heaven and earth energy interweaved and an earth-shaking explosion reverberated through the entire green wheat mountain!
The few figures that charged out of the vortex were reduced to dust almost instantly.
……
In the pit.
"How did he manage to get out?!" Li Hansong said in disbelief.
So many rank-9s and rank-8s had gone in, how could the enemy still come out!
Fang ping shouted in a low voice,"shut up!" "It"s alright. Our people must have released them on purpose. Can"t you see that these grandmasters are already prepared?"
The grandmasters below were orderly and killed the enemies who rushed out in an instant.
After these people were killed, the vortex no longer moved.
After waiting for a while, the energy waves had calmed down. After a while, a middle-aged man in military uniform shouted,""In!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rank-7 Grandmasters stepped into the vortex one after another.
Lu fengrou was the last to leave ... Before she left, she turned around and shouted,"At least one hour later!"
After saying this, Lu fengrou stepped into the vortex and disappeared from the spot.
Fang ping clenched his fists and did not say a word.
After these people left, there was no one below. Only a few grandmasters were left on the surrounding mountains to guard. They did not enter. They would not enter this time as well to prevent the evil sects from attacking them.
Fang ping and the others had not walked out of the pit, continuing to wait.
The energy turbulence at the vortex hole was getting weaker and weaker.
Fang ping knew that the intensity of the battle in the pa.s.sageway had probably weakened. Most of the powerhouses should have already rushed into the catacombs.
However, the energy tide had yet to completely calm down ... There might still be some experts fighting in the pa.s.sageway.
"The battle of the first cave!"
This thought rose in Fang Ping"s mind. It was definitely the case!
Otherwise, things wouldn"t have come to this.
Hundreds of grandmasters had failed to drive the enemy out of the pa.s.sage!
After another half an hour, the vortex"s energy tide had completely calmed down. Fang ping shouted in a low voice, "Let"s go down!"
The next moment, the few of them rushed out and ran towards the vortex hole below.
On a nearby hill, a military-uniformed powerhouse shouted coldly,""You"re not allowed to leave after entering! "You are not allowed to leave the catacombs within 24 hours. Once you step out of the pa.s.sageway, kill whoever you are!"
At this moment, he could enter but not leave!
Anyone who stepped out of the vortex would be treated as a catacombs martial artist. This was also the reason why the grandmasters showed no mercy to those who stepped out of the vortex.
Fang ping and the others turned a deaf ear and stepped into the vortex instantly.
After these few people left, someone sighed softly. These brats ... Just had to get involved in this muddy water!
The rank-9 powerhouses broke out in a great battle in the pa.s.sageway and failed to repel the enemy. The people outside understood that the worst situation had occurred!
"Tiannan catacombs has gathered more than 10 rank-9s!
Not long after Fang ping and the others left, a stalwart figure appeared out of thin air outside the vortex hole.
"Commander!"
The experts on the surrounding mountains greeted him.
At this moment, the figure in the valley was faintly discernible. He stared at the vortex hole for a moment as if he had seen through the vortex and seen everything. Suddenly, he sighed,""Magnificent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the virtual shadow seemed to have seen something and murmured,""Who are those young men?"
"Mcmau Fang ping, Qin Fengqing, ccmau li Hansong, nmau w.a.n.g Jinyang!" Someone reported loudly.
No one was surprised that commander li had seen through the vortex.
Peak experts were so powerful that they were unfathomable.
Out of the four paragons on the surface, the strongest was not the two Guardian patriarchs. Li Zhen"s ranking as the first rank-9 was not because the patriarchs had been biding their time.
Instead ... He admitted that he was no match!
Li Zhen had only broken through a few years ago. He might not have been the strongest before, but now, he was the number one in China!
Compared to the famous Li Zhen, Zhang Tao didn"t seem to be well-known or mysterious. He often appeared in public places, including on TV.
However, Zhang Tao was ranked second in Sino nation"s rank-9, and his ability was also extremely powerful.
These two peak experts of recent times weren"t any weaker than those old ancestors.
Hearing these names, Li Zhen seemed to fall into deep thought. After a long time, he said,""I"m going to the Beihu catacombs ..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Zhen waved his hand, and a ray of sword light cut through the void and instantly flew away.
Li Zhen didn"t seem to care about all this. His figure also faded and disappeared.
Tiannan catacombs had no peak!
"It"s like this for humans, and it"s the same for the catacombs. This battle ... We"ll have to rely on the martial artists who have entered before.
With this victory ... Humanity could still delay for a few more years.
"If we lose this battle ..." Just as this thought appeared in Li Zhen"s mind, it was instantly extinguished.
Humans were invincible!
China was invincible!
……
Green wheat mountain, 30 miles away.
The sword light suddenly pierced through the void. A white-haired old man revealed a look of fear. He roared and his body flashed with golden light like a Buddha!
However, the moment the indestructible golden body touched the sword light, it instantly collapsed and the golden light disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, everything was reduced to nothingness. It was as if the previous scene had never happened. Even the White-haired golden-bodied man seemed to have never appeared.
