Chapter 5705: Lonely and Brave
Looking at the road in front of him covered with black fog, Zhang Yifeng took a step forward resolutely and walked into the darkness alone.
When Xuanyuan Li and the other person left, they wanted to leave a lamp for him, but Zhang Yifeng did not agree.
If he left the lamp behind, his plan to stay alone and find the path behind the door would probably be declared a failure.
The reason why Zhang Yifeng wanted to separate from Xuanyuan Li was entirely because of a guess in his heart.
Speculations about the trial left by Immortal Emperor Taiwu.
After observing for a period of time, it was not difficult for Zhang Yifeng to discover some characteristics of this Taiwu Immortal Emperor.
He doesn't seem to trust anyone, and even the people he chooses to guard his inheritance are mostly vicious and cruel.
It can be said that these people are all pawns of the Immortal Emperor Taiwu, at his mercy.
But all this is not because of the bad taste of Emperor Taiwu, but rather to more carefully select his ideal successor.
Faced with such a cautious person, Zhang Yifeng felt that the other party would not leave two stone doors here for no reason.
And it allows people to see at a glance which of the two roads behind the stone gates is safer.
Of course, Zhang Yifeng didn’t let Xuanyuan and the others go there just because he thought the other stone gate was more dangerous.
Their guess was not wrong, the path chosen by Zhang Yifeng was even more dangerous.
But would the Immortal Emperor Taiwu really choose someone who likes to take shortcuts and avoid danger as his successor?
With this guess, Zhang Yifeng finally chose to embark on this dangerous road alone.
Xuanyuan and the others were only accompanying him to obtain the inheritance, so there was no need for Zhang Yifeng to drag them into a dangerous situation.
After the brainstorming session, Zhang Yifeng took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the road ahead.
On this foggy road, Zhang Yifeng could clearly see the environment within ten meters around him.
There seems to be a narrow path behind this stone gate, and it is unknown where it leads to.
After walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yifeng suddenly stopped and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
In the black fog that prevented him from seeing clearly ahead, he felt a vague sense of crisis.
It seemed that if he rashly stepped into it, he would bring disaster upon himself.
Just as Zhang Yifeng was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly felt the air around him freeze.
The black fog surrounding him gradually dissipated, and Zhang Yifeng looked around.
He saw that the narrow passage he was originally in was actually a corridor.
In the dispersed fog in front of him stood a strange monster with a thin body and covered in colorful scales.
The monster was hiding in the black fog, its eyes fixed on him.
However, this monster seemed to be stopped in place by some force. Even after the black fog covering its body dissipated, it still kept staring at Zhang Yifeng.
Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly when he noticed something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "I wonder which senior made the move, and why is he unwilling to show himself?"
The moment he finished his questioning, the black mist that had originally dissipated suddenly appeared in front of him and slowly condensed into a human figure.
This person's entire body was made of black mist, and at this moment his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yifeng, sizing him up.
"I remember you. I didn't expect you to be here already."
"Now I can still give you a chance. As long as you join my army, you can be called the Demon King of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds."
As soon as the human figure condensed by the black fog opened his mouth, Zhang Yifeng knew his identity. It was the ancient demon god whom he had targeted several times.
Zhang Yifeng didn't expect that this guy's power could be displayed in the inheritance place of Taiwu Immortal Emperor.
"Why, are you wondering why my power is here?"
“Oh, even though Immortal Emperor Taiwu said something very high-sounding, he will never tell you how I was born.”
The ancient demon god sneered and said in a strange tone.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to continue. No matter what, I will not serve under the command of a demon like you."
"If you want to take action, you can do it now."
Zhang Yifeng did not want to listen to the ancient demon god's recounting of these secrets, and replied in a deep voice.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that old fellow Taiwu has really found a qualified successor."
"In that case, you will die here."
The ancient demon god shook his head and immediately condensed black mist, ready to deal a fatal blow to Zhang Yifeng.
At the critical moment, he paused, raised his head suddenly and glared upwards.
"Okay, okay, I won't stop even if I die."
"Boy, this is your last chance!"
The ancient demon god uttered a cruel word, and the black mist that had gathered around him suddenly dissipated and spread around again.
The time that had originally stagnated began to flow again.
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion in Zhang Yifeng's mind.
"Thank you, senior."
Zhang Yifeng groaned in his heart. He knew that the demon god did not take action because he wanted to let him go.
It is estimated that the Immortal Emperor Taiwu left some kind of backup plan in this place of inheritance, so that when the Ancient Demon God was about to take action, he felt threatened and gave up the idea of killing him here.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Yifeng raised his eyes and looked at the space in front of him which was once again shrouded in black fog.
Through the vision caused by the arrival of the ancient demon god, he clearly saw a stone door behind the monster covered in colorful scales.
But in this narrow space, if you want to pass through the stone gate, you must kill this monster.
Based on Zhang Yifeng's observation, this monster must be very agile.
However, in such a narrow space, as long as Zhang Yifeng can restrict its ability to move, he can break the impasse.
His eyes flickered twice, and suddenly an idea flashed in Zhang Yifeng's mind.
There was no need to think too much about the plan as it came to his mind. A light flashed across Zhang Yifeng's fingertips and disappeared into the black mist beside him.
After making all preparations, he stepped towards the black fog ahead.
In the black fog, a skinny monster wearing colorful scales looked at Zhang Yifeng who was gradually approaching, with saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Just as Zhang Yifeng stepped into its attack range, the skinny monster suddenly pounced forward and attacked Zhang Yifeng like a phantom.
If he was caught off guard, this pounce would be enough to take Zhang Yifeng's life.
However, Zhang Yifeng was prepared in advance, and suddenly a sword light flashed in front of him.
The two swords flew up into the air and easily blocked the sudden attack from the skinny monster.
"Roar!"
Seeing that the attack missed, the monster quickly retreated and disappeared into the darkness again.
Zhang Yifeng observed his surroundings cautiously and gradually retreated.
It looked as if it was afraid of the monster and didn't know where it would attack from.
The skinny monster, which had quickly escaped from the battle, was now clinging to the ceiling of the corridor, slowly approaching him.
Seeing Zhang Yifeng retreating continuously, the monster knew that his chance had come.
