Aside from Yun Feiyang, who intentionally concealed his cultivation, the most powerful individuals here were Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze.
At this moment, Zhang Lin was firmly controlled by Yun Xinrui, incapable of resisting, and was immediately seized by him.
The reason Yun Xinrui hadn't hurriedly left was that he intended to wait for other martial artists to appear, use them as tools, and then enter the stone chamber ahead to explore its weaknesses, so he could break through successfully.
When Yun Kaige and others came before, the reason he didn't attack was because it was strictly forbidden for the imperial family to engage in private fights.
If Yun Xinrui had rashly attacked Yun Kaige and others, he would have had to kill everyone here.
In doing so, he would surely become an enemy of everyone.
Although Yun Xinrui was exceptionally powerful, he wasn't arrogant enough to believe he could challenge everyone alone.
After all, even if he could resolve everyone, he would certainly be severely injured.
It must be known that Bai Ze was eyeing him keenly, waiting for an opportunity. By then, he would probably become prey for Bai Ze to slaughter at will.
However, at this moment, Bai Ze was actually in inner turmoil. After all, he never expected that entering this gorge, there wouldn't be a single disciple from the Black Yan Hall; they were all disciples from the Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
If these people joined forces to attack him, he would have no choice but to flee like a rat.
Fortunately, these disciples of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace didn't seem united, splitting into several groups with no intention of cooperating.
Thus, Bai Ze decided to act as if he were invisible, remaining silent, hoping these people from the Yunlong Heavenly Palace would ignore him.
However, no matter how low-key Bai Ze acted, Yun Xinrui naturally wouldn't overlook this potential danger.
But for now, Yun Xinrui was eager to probe the power of thunder and lightning in the stone chamber, so he selected the group with the lowest cultivation among the crowd, which was the Zhang family's disciples.
Seeing Yun Xinrui's palm reaching towards him, Zhang Lin was naturally unwilling to be manipulated so casually and immediately swung his sharp sword, releasing a fierce sword qi, slashing fiercely towards Yun Xinrui.
However, no matter how hard Zhang Lin resisted, how could he be a match for Yun Xinrui?
Yun Xinrui carelessly struck and with a heavy blow to Zhang Lin's body, knocked him flying, causing fresh blood to spurt out from Zhang Lin's mouth.
"This is too much, attack!"
Zhang Caiyun and Zhang Hongying, seeing their cousin brother being blasted away by Yun Xinrui, immediately took out their flame explosion talismans and threw them at Yun Xinrui without hesitation.
They knew well that with their strength, opposing Yun Xinrui was like striking a stone with an egg.
So the only counterattack they could rely on at this moment was the flame explosion talismans they purchased from Lin Chen.
Although these flame explosion talismans were incredibly precious to them, the crisis at hand left them with no concern for the treasures' value.
Due to Yun Xinrui's overwhelming cultivation, Zhang Caiyun and the others directly threw out a total of twenty flame explosion talismans.
Yun Kaige, Liu Yong, Tan Yu, and others watched the Zhang family's disciples throw out more than twenty flame explosion talismans at once, their expressions changed dramatically, and they hurriedly fled in panic.
They knew well the power of the flame explosion talisman, and with more than twenty combined, even a Creation Realm expert could be blasted to death. How dare they stay, for fear that the explosion's aftermath might injure them as well.
However, Yun Xinrui, having not encountered them at the mountain's foot before, had no idea what these flame explosion talismans were.
Seeing those twenty-plus crystal stones flying towards him, Yun Xinrui confidently waved his arm, thinking he could block these flame explosion talismans with palm wind.
With a thunderous roar echoing through the passage outside the stone chamber, flames instantly filled the entire passage and stone chamber.
The powerful explosion even caused the stone chamber and passage to tremble violently.
The explosion of the flame explosion talismans immediately triggered the restrictions in the stone chamber, sending purple lightning madly striking the edges of the stone chamber.
For a moment, fire and thunder intertwined, and the scene before them was like the end of the world.
Yun Feiyang witnessed the explosion power of the flame explosion talismans, and his heart was instantly shocked, realizing he underestimated the power of these combined flame explosion talismans.
Such violent power was enough to gravely injure him if he were to take a hit.
"Damn it, what are those fiery red crystal stones? How can they possess such astounding destructive power?"
Yun Xinrui was blasted away by the flame explosion talismans, most of his clothes destroyed. If it weren't for his quick reaction and use of a protective dharma treasure, he might have lost his life today.
Even using that protective dharma treasure, he still suffered severe injuries.
Yun Xinrui's fury burned within. He hadn't suffered such heavy injuries in a long time.
He finally understood why the other martial artists fled like they had seen a ghost when the Zhang family disciples threw those fiery red crystal stones. It seemed everyone else knew the explosive power of those crystal stones, except him.
No, there was another who didn't know about the fiery red crystal stones, and that was Bai Ze. Get full chapters from novᴇlfire.net
When those fiery red crystal stones were thrown, Bai Ze was indifferent since the target of the Zhang family's attack was Yun Xinrui, not him.
But who would've guessed that the explosion's aftermath would be so powerful, injuring him despite the distance from Yun Xinrui.
However, Bai Ze only suffered from the blast's shockwave, and with the protection of the Purple Spirit Demon Armor, his injuries weren't as severe as Yun Xinrui's.
Yun Xinrui was furious to the extreme, immediately charging towards the Zhang family's disciples to settle the score.
However, when he reached the passage where the Zhang family disciples were, he found they were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Yun Xinrui remained relentless and left, pursuing down the passage.
The Zhang family's disciples had just escaped, and with his speed, catching up wouldn't be difficult.
As Yun Xinrui left, Bai Ze glanced at the Water of Life in the jade pond at the stone chamber's center and then turned away.
As the Water of Life wasn't retrieved yet, he planned to first refine the treasures he obtained in this ruin to enhance his own strength. Then, he'd test whether he could withstand the stone chamber's lightning attacks.
Of course, he didn't plan to break through to the Creation Realm in this ruin since no one knew if the teleportation array outside was perfected, and if not, it prohibited Creation Realm experts' passage.
