These bats were all Rank Three vicious beasts: Yin Bats.

Normally, these bats would only grow in dark and damp places and rely on absorbing Yin Qi to grow. Thus, they were extremely brutal and vicious. As long as they saw life, they would recklessly fly over.

Ming Yu used nine flying knives to circle around her body, slashing the Yin Bats into pieces. However, some of the Yin Bats still found a gap and bit into Ming Yu's body.

"Scram."

Mingyu's body shook as true energy gushed out of his body, dispersing the Yin Bats. He then formed a seal with his hands and recited the incantation, and in the time it took to take a single breath, the translucent golden bell that was burning with flames started to revolve, blocking out all the Yin Bats outside.

Because of the intense temperature of the Golden Bell Formation, some of the Yin Bats were burnt to death.

At the start, Ming Yu's falling speed wasn't very fast, but later on, his falling speed became faster and faster, and the surrounding Yin Bats became fewer and fewer, and the surroundings became especially cold.

"Hu!"

Suddenly, Ming Yu felt as if he had been sucked into a whirlpool. He felt as if his body was crazily shuttling through space. This lasted for the space of about ten breaths before he was thrown out by the space current.

They were deep underground. The rocks around them were emitting a faint green glow, illuminating the vast expanse of space.

The top of the cave was made entirely of stalactites, and there were water droplets that constantly dripped down. The surrounding walls and ground were also fluctuating unevenly, and they were rugged and hideous as they flickered with a dark green color; it was extremely strange.

The most important thing was that this area was covered in blood. However, there was not even a corpse on the ground!

This area was around a hundred meters in radius and was quite spacious. However, when Mingyu probed it with her spiritual energy, she discovered that it was a sealed off space with no exit.

But soon, Ming Yu discovered some clues on the wall in front of him.

The rocks here protruded outwards. It seemed to be the outline of a rectangular stone door. And behind this rectangular stone door was the exit.

Ming Yu exerted all the strength in his body, the strength of nearly six thousand lions roaring forth, striking the stone wall, producing a muffled sound. However, his fist only left a deep fist mark on the stone wall, nothing more.

This stone wall was so hard, and since there was a doorway, why was it impossible to open it?

What method could he use? Furthermore, why were there so many bloodstains on the ground? What exactly had happened here?

A series of questions appeared in Ming Yu's mind, but at that moment, a black hole appeared in the sky above him, and four figures descended from above.

It was a middle-aged man and three elders. They were the experts who had entered the abyss not long after Ming Yu. They had successfully arrived at this place while resisting the wild bites of the Yin Bats.

However, their faces were ashen and their faces were ashen. They seemed to be in a slightly sorry state.

With his powerful mental energy, he was able to quickly guess their cultivation levels. The three elders were all at the peak of the seventh level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, just a hair away from the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage.

As for the middle-aged man in the lead, although he was the youngest, his cultivation level was the highest, reaching the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage. Mingyu could tell that he had simply fused his body and mind together; he wasn't a very high level cultivator.

The middle-aged man looked around and also found that they were in a sealed off space. He felt quite puzzled.

Afterwards, he discovered Ming Yu's existence. The four people, including the middle-aged man, all cast their gazes at Ming Yu.

"Oi, that person, do you know what happened here?" An old man pointed at Ming Yu and asked sternly, just like how he usually did when his disciple was interrogating him.

Ming Yu coldly glanced at the elder and said, "You don't have eyes, don't you know how to look for yourself?"

This sentence was spoken without any trace of politeness. The old man's expression turned cold as he coldly reprimanded, "Youngsters these days are getting more and more uncultured. To think that they would be so rude to their elders."

This old man was called Qin Song, and he was the Grand Elder of the Qin Clan in Nanling City of the Great Ming Dynasty. He had the strength of a Transcendent Mortal realm expert with the strength of over three thousand lions.

It was because of this that he was qualified to obtain the Netherworld Sword.

A look of contempt appeared on Ming Yu's face as she spoke without holding back, "The way you treat others, the way others will treat you. Stop trying to put on airs with me."

"You!"

Qin Song glared fiercely at Ming Yu and was about to say something when he was suppressed by the middle-aged man in the lead. He looked at Qin Song and said, "Elder Song, be more polite when you speak."

Qin Song wanted to retort, but when he saw the stern gaze of the middle-aged man, he swallowed back the words that had just rushed up his throat.

"Little brother, the elders of my Qin family are not very polite with their words. Please forgive them."

The middle-aged man introduced, "My name is Qin Wenjun, I'm the head of the Qin family. May I ask what your name is, little brother?"

"My name is Ming Yu."

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said in surprise, "You are … A week ago, there was a rumor that the 17th Prince won in the competition, Ming Yu? "

Ming Yu also did not want to hide anything. The reason why he revealed his identity was to warn these people that he was not to be trifled with. Ming Yu really did not want to use force to prove anything.

After so many years, his ability to judge others was absolutely accurate. When he had just entered, he saw that the young man in front of him had a calm expression and was not nervous at all. He knew that this young man was no ordinary character.

Furthermore, he felt that Ming Yu was like a bottomless pit, he could not see through her at all.

And the more he could not see through it, the more it meant that this person was very dangerous!

When he found out that Ming Yu was the 17th prince of the Great Ming Dynasty, Qin Wenjun was even more confident that his group of people were no match for Ming Yu!

However, he hid it well, cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "I didn't expect that 17th Prince would actually go to this secret realm to seize the Netherworld Sword. Who knows, maybe you will actually be able to get the sword."

When the elders of the Qin Clan heard this, they felt extremely displeased. In their hearts, they were also very unconvinced. If it wasn't for the presence of Qin Wenjun, they would have gone up and slapped Ming Yu right away!

"Hehe, depending on your own abilities, if you have the ability, the Netherworld Sword will naturally be yours." Ming Yu answered truthfully.

"Prince Seventeen is right."

Qin Wenjun's perception was stronger than Qin Song's, so he naturally knew the depth of Ming Yu's skills. He had originally gone through countless hardships to bring the elite elders of the family to try, but Ming Yu's appearance made him realize that he was getting further and further away from the Netherworld Sword.

"Roar …"

Suddenly, a soft voice came from the area. It was very soft, but the crowd could still feel it. It was as if it came from far away.

Ming Yu instantly opened his soul and spread out his mental force to sense the surroundings. He felt that something was rapidly approaching them from the bottom of this space. It was getting closer and closer …

"Be careful!"

Mingyu shouted, and retreated frantically behind her. The very first thing that Qin Wenjun did after she reminded him was to move in her direction.

In the next moment, a claw that had always been black appeared from the ground and grabbed the ankle of one of the elders who was slightly slower than him.

"What is it?"

The elder was shocked, he pulled out a large sword from his back and swung it towards the black claw. However, the black claw was as hard as steel, and as it slashed against the sword, it produced a golden red spark, but it was not damaged in the slightest.

Just as the elder was about to attack again, there was a sudden movement from the ground. A huge shadow drilled out from within!

Its mouth was wide open, and a ton of bite force was suddenly released. Everyone only saw a blur pass by as the elder's upper body disappeared, being swallowed by the huge mouth with a "Ka Chi" sound!

However, everything wasn't over yet. There were actually two big bloody mouths that whistled over, tearing the lower half of the elder's body into two and swallowing it alive!

The others were scared stiff. They had just arrived at the Netherworld Cave, so how could such a terrifying situation have occurred?!

If they had known earlier, they would never have come to this damned place!

When the three corpses of the Elder were being chewed on, everyone was able to see the appearance of the huge beast clearly from the faint green light that was emitted from the surrounding stone walls.

The beast was ten meters tall, and its fur was short and thick. It was smooth and dark, but the surrounding light reflected off of it gave it a ghastly green glow.

It had a total of three gigantic heads, and six pairs of deep green eyes that were as large as bells stared indifferently at Ming Yu and the others!

Its fangs were extremely neat, sharp, and thick and long. When they were closed together, they seemed to reveal a ghastly sneer. Reflecting the dark green light, it appeared extremely sinister!

"This is …" The Cerberus! " The corners of Qin Wenjun's eyes twitched as he looked at the gigantic beast in front of him. Large drops of sweat rolled down his body, soaking his clothes.

Ming Yu looked at the ferocious beast in front of her, her expression turning serious.

The Cerberus, as the name implied, had three heads. Each head had a part of its own consciousness, but it was still controlled by the brain in the middle head.

The legend of hell's three-headed hound was that it was a terrifying level eight beast that only existed in the underworld.

Ordinary eighth level Transcending Mortality Stage experts were unable to defeat the three hell dogs. This was because the heart energy in the chest of the Cerberus was extremely powerful, requiring it to transfer energy into the three heads.

With the support of a strong heart, regardless of whether it was the power, speed, or reaction speed of the Cerberus, it was incomparably powerful!

"Roar …"

The three hulks of the Cerberus let out a low and deep growl, causing Qin Wenjun and the rest to tremble in fear.

But right now, they had nowhere to run. They could only choose to resist!

"Looks like the Netherworld Cave has set up such a barrier. And the first barrier is for five people to deal with this Cerberus. Only survivors can survive, and only then can the closed stone door be opened!" Ming Yu said in a deep voice.

"Roar!"

Just as he finished his sentence, the Cerberus lunged at him!
