The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1165: Chapter 1164: Self-Awareness

Su Changfeng lifted his foot and kicked the little creature away, saying disdainfully, ”How did a guy like you survive? It’s a miracle. Why are you showing off in front of me? Looking for attention?”

The little snake hung on the stone wall, with a faint grievance in its gaze.

Su Changfeng didn’t spare it a glance, turning to Chen Qingqing and said, ”Whatever, as long as we can get out safely, it doesn’t matter why they’re dead. It’s not our concern.”

Chen Qingqing nodded, although she had grown accustomed to the stench of the Infinite Cave, she still disliked the environment in her heart. Hearing this, she quickly said, ”Alright, Brother Changfeng, let’s hurry out then.”

As they talked, both of them quickened their pace, but soon, they heard some noises ahead, sounding like the collision of stones. Clearly, something was coming.

”Brother Changfeng, it seems we were too optimistic. It’s indeed not that simple,” Chen Qingqing couldn’t help but frown and say.

Su Changfeng was already prepared, naturally not believing he could just waltz around the Infinite Cave and leave purely by luck.

”We’re going to see something big again. You step aside for now,” Su Changfeng told Chen Qingqing.

Soon enough, a large winged lizard crawled towards them, looking extremely terrifying, emitting a nauseating stench, as if it saw something delicious, drooling all over the place.

”Turns out it sees us as food,” Su Changfeng said to Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing knew the creature’s intent all too well, but facing such an exaggerated creature, she didn’t even have the thought of resisting.

”Brother Changfeng, what do we do next?” Chen Qingqing asked.

What to do?

Su Changfeng didn’t know either, and it was at this moment he finally understood why Yang Junming told him to run. A creature like this could squash him with a single claw. It’s really not suited to face head-on!

But it firmly blocked the path ahead, even if they wanted to run, where could they run to?

”Whether we can successfully leave the Infinite Cave seems to test not individual strength, but luck!” Su Changfeng sighed.

Although he had taken the shortest time to ascend to Earth Level, what use was that? When facing such exaggerated creatures, besides waiting obediently for death, there seemed to be no other way.

”Can we turn back?” Chen Qingqing tentatively asked.

”Who knows what we’ll encounter going back? Besides, there’s nothing to eat here. If we keep going like this, our stamina will give out, and we’ll still end up dead,” Su Changfeng knew returning the same way was impossible.

The only way now was to go all out against the big guy in front. If lucky, they might live to exit.

His only confidence and hope now was the power inside him. If it could erupt with stronger force, maybe they could escape this ordeal.

At this moment, Su Changfeng suddenly thought of Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai. He couldn’t die, no matter what; he absolutely couldn’t die in the Infinite Cave.

”Brother Changfeng, your, your head...” At this moment, Chen Qingqing stared incredulously at Su Changfeng’s head, seeing a faint glow emanating from his hair.

No one noticed the quiet little snake by the side suddenly becoming excited, its body slightly restless.

”Step back a bit,” Su Changfeng said to Chen Qingqing with a serious face.

Unconsciously, Chen Qingqing stepped back a bit, not knowing why, she suddenly felt that Su Changfeng looked unfamiliar, giving rise to a slight fear in her heart.

The little snake also retreated slightly. Upon closer inspection, a thin layer of scales appeared on its body, as if it had mutated.

Since Su Changfeng entered the Infinite Cave, everyone in Tuo Shi focused their attention on the cave. Some were curious if Su Changfeng had any chance of coming out alive, while others, like Yin Lulu, constantly cursed for Su Changfeng to die inside.

She hoped Su Changfeng would die in the Infinite Cave so that she could remain the high and mighty lady, adored by all as the princess.

Suddenly, the Infinite Cave began to shake, and everyone could clearly feel this was no earthquake but a commotion from inside the cave.

Elder Wu of Shangyun Pavilion’s face changed drastically, hurrying towards the direction of the Infinite Cave.

Yin Zhengyuan of Lingxiao Pavilion was still studying a notebook retrieved from the stone house. Realizing the anomaly in the Infinite Cave, he quickly packed up his items and headed towards the cave.

The two met at the entrance of the Infinite Cave, both looking very solemn.

”What on earth is happening? What was that commotion just now?” Yin Zhengyuan asked Elder Wu in a deep voice.

Elder Wu didn’t speak. The worst situation he feared seemed to have occurred.

The test of the Infinite Cave isn’t passed by strength, but purely by luck. Any direct confrontation with the creatures inside would only lead to death.

The recent commotion could only mean one thing: a direct conflict occurred inside.

”Looks like Su Changfeng is dead,” Yin Lulu walked up with a cold smile, feeling an unexplainable joy in her heart.

Finally dead; she no longer had to face Su Changfeng, constantly haunted by the humiliating memories of the past.

Yin Lulu’s words made Elder Wu’s expression instantly look grim, whereas Yin Zhengyuan appeared slightly flustered. He had always known Yin Lulu wished for Su Changfeng’s death, but she shouldn’t choose this moment to hit someone when they’re down.

Su Changfeng was a disciple personally brought back by Elder Wu, and Su Changfeng’s life and death related to the entire future of Tuo Shi.

For ten years, no Tuo Shi member had emerged alive from the Infinite Cave, leading many to develop a strong aversion to it.

If Su Changfeng could successfully pass the test, it would certainly help other Tuo Shi members regain some confidence.

But now, even Su Changfeng couldn’t pass the test of the Infinite Cave, which would aggravate others’ psychological shadows. Who would be willing to challenge the Infinite Cave in the future?

The most important test might as well become a mere formality from today, meaning Tuo Shi might never again see Heavenly Level experts appear, which would be a catastrophic blow to Tuo Shi’s development.

Moreover, it’s now a crucial time. The abnormal energy of the Forbidden Land indicates Outer Domain stirrings. But with Tuo Shi’s current strength, they truly cannot contend.

”Lulu, shut up!” Yin Zhengyuan glared at his daughter, warning her.

But evidently, Yin Lulu paid no heed to Yin Zhengyuan’s words and continued on her own, ”His nature is reckless, lacking self-awareness. Even if he dies in the Infinite Cave, it’s his fault. Can people not say it? Does he really think he’s some great expert? Ignorance must be paid for with consequences!”
