Upon hearing the voice, Wang Chong came to a sudden stop, his mind shivering.

”A human?”

Wang Chong had had many ideas about what he would encounter in the well, including various kinds of monsters. But he had not imagined that the guardian of this place would be a human, or at least a creature that could speak a human tongue.

From the difficulty with which it had spoken the words, it was clear that it had been sealed in here for a very long time.

'Mark'… What is it talking about?

Wang Chong pensively frowned. Although it had been rather sudden, Wang Chong quickly understood what was going on.

This ancient ruin probably has some identification that allows one to enter. Khatabah probably had this identification, allowing him to enter without coming under these attacks.

But Wang Chong was incapable of presenting this identification.

Let alone the fact that Wang Chong didn't even know what it looked like, Khatabah had blown himself to pieces. Even if that identification had existed before, it didn't exist now.

But Wang Chong didn't spend too much time thinking. Even without the identification, he still needed to explore these ruins.

A moment later, Wang Chong raised his wariness, readying his Stellar Energy so that he could respond at any time, and began to head down.

The deeper he went, the hotter it became.

”Human, leave!” After some time, that warning voice spoke again, but Wang Chong did not notice that creature's figure below.

”Am I almost at the end?”

Wang Chong quickly understood.

A dangerous energy filled the air, and the danger was increasing with every passing moment. But Wang Chong continued to descend the wall of the well.

A few moments later, the well began to slowly transform, the pillar-like space slowly expanding outward into a pyramidal shape.

Buzz!

As Wang Chong carefully examined his surroundings, he sensed a faint vibration in the air. At this moment, a sharp blade began to slice toward him at astonishing speed.

Boom!

Wang Chong immediately raised the golden Xuanyuan Sword, barely blocking the strike.

But before Wang Chong could counterattack, his opponent was gone.

Swish!

With no time for rest, that blade returned, but this time, it came from above and behind Wang Chong, slicing straight at his neck.

Bang!

A golden beam of Sword Qi flashed through the air as Wang Chong used the Xuanyuan Sword to strike that blade and repulse it.

A cry of alarm could be heard, but once more, before Wang Chong could counter, the opponent vanished.

”So fast!”

Wang Chong's heart sank. He was doing his utmost to keep track of his foe, but this monster was so uncatchable that it seemed like it didn't have a physical body.

That movement technique is at least twice as fast as my Greater Void Step! Wang Chong quietly said to himself.

The Greater Void Step was an art that Wang Chong had learned from the men in black and was the fastest movement technique he knew. When used to its maximum, it was impossible to see the user with the naked eye.

But his opponent was moving even faster than the Greater Void Step. He had never encountered this kind of situation before.

This alone allowed his foe to pose an enormous threat.

But even so, Wang Chong did not give up. He continued to descend while baiting the attacks of this unknown creature.

Hiss!

As expected, his enemy was apparently enraged by Wang Chong's continued descent. Hissing bizarrely, it intensified its attacks against Wang Chong.

The air shrieked as that thin blade sliced through the air and unleashed a barrage of blows against Wang Chong.

Bang!
