Chapter 450: Chapter 451 Exploring the Blood Mine

Who?

Ye Wudao turned his head and saw an old man in tattered Taoist robes approaching, a bronze smoking pipe clutched between his teeth.

Who could it be if not Guo Yi?

"Old Ghost!" A look of joy appeared in Ye Wudao’s eyes.

Guo Yi sized up Ye Wudao and couldn’t help but smack his lips, "Aiyo, little Ye has done well for himself; I knew you didn’t die at your dad’s grave. To think you’re now almost at the Battle Spirit level. Impressive, impressive!"

"It’s just luck!" Ye Wudao replied with a slight smile.

"Senior Guo Yi!"

"Greetings to Senior Guo Yi!" Everyone from the Northern King’s Palace greeted him with clasped fists.

"Dao Kuang, Liu Kuangsheng, you little rascals are quite something, to have reached the Ninth Grade Battle Spirit level!" Guo Yi said, clearly shocked.

"Hehe, we’re simply riding on the young master’s coattails," everyone responded.

Ye Wudao, looking at Guo Yi, asked with curiosity, "Old Ghost, did you just say something nefarious is going on in the blood mine?"

"That’s correct. That’s the very reason I’ve come here!" Guo Yi said.

"What is it?" Ye Wudao asked.

"Hehe, want to know, huh? Accompany this old man down there, and I’ll tell you!" Guo Yi said, deliberately being secretive.

"Now that I’m a major shareholder of the Xia Family’s blood mine, it’s my duty to investigate any issues inside."

Ye Wudao nodded. "Agreed!"

"That creature in the blood mine is no simple beast, so we shouldn’t bring too many people! We must choose only the best!" Guo Yi instructed.

Ye Wudao said, "Dao Kuang, Uncle Liu, you two will accompany me down!"

"At your command, Young Master!" The two acknowledged the order.

Soon, Guo Yi and the three of them entered the blood mine.

"Brother Wudao, please be careful!" Xia Shiqi said with worry.

"Don’t worry, girl Xia, with this old man here, nothing will happen to your sweetheart," Guo Yi said with a laugh.

With Guo Yi’s assurance, Xia Shiqi’s worried face turned shy.

...

Inside the blood mine.

Ye Wudao and his companions arrived at the collapsed mine shaft, surrounded by the bodies of many miners buried underneath, overlooking a deep pit emitting a dangerous aura.

"That damned beast is in there!" Guo Yi said, squinting his eyes.

Ye Wudao exchanged glances with Dao Kuang and Liu Kuangsheng, then jumped first into the mine pit.

Bang!

Bang...

A series of dull thuds rang out as Ye Wudao and the others arrived inside the mine pit, facing a narrow tunnel with walls covered in blood-red stones.

"Is this the legendary bloodstone?" Dao Kuang asked curiously, picking up a bloodstone in amazement. "There’s even a formidable power inside!"

"So many bloodstones, there must be tens of thousands!" Liu Kuangsheng was also thrilled.

Big score!

Guo Yi, however, frowned and said, "What ignoramuses. These mere low-grade bloodstones are nothing. The real treasure is further inside. Follow me!"

Under Guo Yi’s lead, Ye Wudao and the others advanced deeper into the mine.

The temperature inside the mine was extremely low, nearing negative one hundred degrees.

Such temperatures could be fatal to a Battle Spirit Level martial artist!

However, thankfully Dao Kuang, Liu Kuangsheng, and the others were Ninth Grade Battle Spirit Level and could withstand it.

As for Ye Wudao, he had the strength of a Battle King level on top of the protection of his Dragon Qi, allowing him completely unfazed by the cold.

Guo Yi walked through with ease.

The group continued their careful investigation.

Suddenly, Dao Kuang halted. "Not good, I... I think I stepped on something?"

What?

Everyone immediately stopped, alarm on their faces.

Dao Kuang looked down instinctively and discovered he was standing on a body.

"Holy shit, that scared me. I thought it was something else, just a corpse!" Dao Kuang immediately relaxed, and Liu Kuangsheng also eased up beside him.

They were accustomed to lives at the blade’s edge and were well familiar with corpses.

In contrast, Ye Wudao bent down and examined the body, frowning, "With these temperatures, regular miners couldn’t reach here! And this body is an Eighth Grade Battle Spirit Level expert who has been dead for at least a couple of decades. This mine is definitely no simple matter."

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words made Dao Kuang and Liu Kuangsheng involuntarily gasp.

Even an Eighth Grade Battle Spirit Level martial artist had died here; they had to be careful!

The group quickly moved on.

Inside, they found many bodies, nearly a hundred in all, the weakest at Battle Spirit Level and even one at the pinnacle of Battle Spirit.

Seeing this, Dao Kuang couldn’t help but say, "What on earth happened in this mine for so many to have died?"

"And they are all experts!" Liu Kuangsheng added.

Glancing over the corpses, Guo Yi commented, "If I’m not mistaken, these people should be from the Beast Taming Manor."

Beast Taming Manor!

Upon hearing about this unfamiliar force, Ye Wudao and the others looked on curiously.

"You might not be aware; the Beast Taming Manor was a significant power thirty years ago. They bred a large number of ferocious and exotic beasts. The manor’s owner was even known as the Beast Taming King. Unfortunately, they were wiped out in a single incident!"

Pausing for a moment, Guo Yi looked upon the corpses of the Beast Taming Manor’s members and said lightly, "If I am not wrong, the Beast Taming Manor met their end right here."

Sss!

Hearing Guo Yi’s words made Dao Kuang and the others inhale sharply.

"Everyone, be careful," Ye Wudao cautioned.

They continued forward.

Suddenly, a sharp metallic whooshing sound erupted from within the mine.

"Be careful!" Ye Wudao immediately brandished his blade.

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere!

A hidden weapon was seen bouncing off and sticking into the wall.

Ye Wudao caught the hidden weapon with one hand and examined it closely.

"Young Master, someone is plotting against us in secret!"

"Could there be someone in this pit?" Both Dao Kuang and the other person’s faces turned grave.

Ye Wudao, staring at the hidden weapon, shook his head and said, "There’s no trace of a person’s aura on this weapon; it’s likely not made by a human."

Hiss!

Not human!

Ye Wudao’s words made Dao Kuang and the other’s expressions turn extremely ugly!

If not human, could it be a ghost?

Ye Wudao threw away the hidden weapon in his hand and continued forward.

Just as Ye Wudao took two steps forward!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

...

Dozens of hidden weapons tore through the air, each with enough power to kill a Seventh Grade Battle Spirit!

So many hidden weapons attacking in unison could even injure a Ninth Grade Battle Spirit martial artist!

Dao Kuang, Liu Kuangsheng, and the others exerted their strength.

In the blink of an eye, all the hidden weapons scattered on the ground.

"Young Master, we’re under attack!" Liu Kuangsheng’s gaze turned solemn.

Dao Kuang roared in anger and said, "Who is the coward, only daring to attack from the shadows and not brave enough to face us directly?"

Before he could finish speaking!

The air was filled with a dense barrage of hidden weapons, hundreds of them!

"Damn!"

Dao Kuang’s face changed drastically, as hundreds of hidden weapons could inflict fatal damage on him!

Ye Wudao took a step forward and wielded his blade fiercely, the blade’s light enveloping a powerful force that instantly cut through hundreds of hidden weapons!

"As expected of the Young Master!"

"Incredibly powerful!" Dao Kuang, Liu Kuangsheng, and the others were excited.

"Little Ye, you’re quite strong now!" The old ghost praised with his hands behind his back.

Ye Wudao looked around at the deep pits and sure enough, he spotted a mechanism trigger.

He brandished his blade fiercely.

Bang!

The mechanism trigger was instantly shattered.

"Alright, the mechanism has been broken," Ye Wudao said.

The group continued forward, and as the mechanism was broken, everyone’s mood lifted.

At that moment, a heavy footstep sounded, shaking the entire mine.

"Someone’s coming!" Dao Kuang’s gaze became intense.

"Young Master, quick, look!" Liu Kuangsheng trembled as he pointed ahead with a shocked hand.

There stood a burly man like a towering iron statue, with his eyes tightly closed, dressed in blood-colored iron armor, radiating a fierce aura!

He held a great bow in his hand, like a fierce general, emanating a terrifying murderous aura.

Without a doubt, the one who appeared here was an enemy!

"I’ll take you on!" Dao Kuang, with a battle-hungry look in his eyes, charged towards the blood-armored giant.

The blood-armored giant holding the giant bow took aim at Dao Kuang.

Whoosh!

The power even formed an invisible arrow, shooting towards Dao Kuang.

Dao Kuang blocked with all his might using his blade.

Boom!

A collision sound resonated, and Dao Kuang was forcefully flung to the ground, spitting blood, his face ashen.

"Dao Kuang, how are you?" Liu Kuangsheng cried out in shock, rushing over to support Dao Kuang.

"Cough, cough..." Dao Kuang looked down at the wound on his abdomen; "This guy is so powerful, my heart was nearly pierced by that arrow!"

The blood-armored giant continued to draw the bow.

"You dare?" Ye Wudao was enraged.

The blood-armored giant drew the great bow fully and took aim at Ye Wudao.

Whoosh!

An invisible arrow shot towards Ye Wudao, powerful enough to kill a peak Battle Spirit in an instant.

Ye Wudao dodged while advancing and instantly appeared in front of the blood-armored giant, striking him fiercely with his blade.

Bang!

The blood-armored giant stood unflinching, delivering a palm strike filled with terrifying power directly towards Ye Wudao.

Seeing this, Ye Wudao’s face changed, and he immediately backed away.

"This guy took a direct hit from the Young Master and is unscathed?"

"Impossible!" Dao Kuang, Liu Kuangsheng, and the others were in disbelief.

Ye Wudao’s gaze rarely showed such solemnity; "This guy’s defense is extremely strong, and his strength is immense!"

Suddenly, the aura of the old physician changed dramatically, he exclaimed in shock; "He’s not human, he is..."
