Liu Yong and Xiao Xiang emerged from underground, where the spiritual power unleashed by the Golden Core Elder was not something an ordinary person could withstand.
The hermit sensed danger and wanted to use the captives as a shield. His weapon was continuously striking at the air, but sadly, they hadn't anticipated that someone could burrow from beneath the ground to launch a surprise attack on others.
Having neglected to guard against underground assailants, they were suddenly struck by the spiritual power from two directions, exposing their hidden forms. The bodies that were hit were sent flying, and by the time they fell to the ground again, they were lifeless.
Sun Zi'an and a group of cooks were rescued, all feeling fortunate.
