Chapter 174 The Effects of the Gold Path of Deceit
The two of them no longer had any serious expressions on their faces. They had become much more relaxed. It was obvious that they were in a good mood.
The main reason was that Li Xuan’s strength was too strong. His fighting strength could be described as valiant.
At the moment…
They could help Li Xuan get through the difficult situation that Li Xuan could not get through. This showed how outstanding they were.
The most important thing was the feeling of being needed by others. It was actually quite good, especially when Li Xuan needed them.
Thus, the two of them were in a good mood, especially the blind granny, who was in a much happier mood.
With this kind of mood, the two of them slowly walked toward the fifth level of the Underground Darkness City.
As they moved forward, the originally dim space slowly became a fiery red color. The entire world became red, and the temperature at the scene also gradually increased, becoming hot.
When they reached the fifth level, rolling heatwaves came from afar, baking their skin. The heatwaves even made their hair curl, and beads of sweat could not help but flow from their foreheads.

“What a magnificent world.”
The Sword Saint looked at the rolling lava world, the boiling lava dripping from the sky, the rolling steam in the ground, and the flowing red lava. He felt very shocked.
“It’s indeed a good place. It’s even a precious place for cultivation. Unfortunately, neither of my two abilities are suitable for cultivation here.” The blind granny shook her head.
“Yes, this place is very suitable for cultivating Fire-Type superpowers. Unfortunately, there are no powerful Fire-Type superpowers in the human world for the time being. Ordinary Fire-Type superpowers can’t withstand the high temperature here.”
The Sword Saint nodded in agreement. At the same time, he looked around for Li Xuan, but he did not see Li Xuan anywhere.
“Strange. Where’s Li Xuan? Why can’t I see him? His mount, the Armored Pollution Giant, is here.”
The Sword Saint’s vision swept across the surroundings. He only saw an Armored Pollution Giant squatting on a rock beside the lava, curled up with a frightened look on its face.
They had seen this giant more than once when they were looking back in time. Usually, after Li Xuan had killed other monsters, he would ride the Armored Pollution Giant away. It was obvious that it was a mount or something
However, other than the Armored Pollution Giant, they had not seen Li Xuan. This puzzled the Sword Saint.
Beside him, the blind granny was also puzzled. She looked around carefully and then froze.
“What’s wrong?” The Sword Saint turned his head to look at the blind granny.
“You… Look over there, in the lava.”
The blind granny’s voice trembled as she pointed at the center of the field, at the boiling hot lava.
“Lava?”
The Sword Saint turned his head in puzzlement and saw the lava field in the center of the field. Then, he found that there were bubbles emerging from it, and white steam kept rising along with the bubbles.
However, other than these bubbles, there was nothing else other than rolling heatwaves. This made the Sword Saint puzzled.
However, just as the Sword Saint was puzzled and was about to ask what the reason was…
Water suddenly rose from the lava, and a small figure emerged from the lava. Then, with two small hands, it began to swim in the lava.
Seeing this unbelievable scene and seeing this small figure swimming in the hot lava, the Sword Saint was dumbfounded. He froze on the spot as if he had been petrified.
“What… What did I see? Li Xuan is actually swimming in the lava? How is this possible?” The Sword Saint was dumbfounded, and his head was buzzing.
He had never expected that not only was Li Xuan not afraid of the lava, but he was also able to swim in the lava without being stumped by the lava.
Such a scene had completely overturned his understanding, and even the powerful Sword Saint was stunned by it.
Beside him, the blind granny looked the same. In fact, she had discovered this situation earlier. It was because she had seen more, so she was shocked.
One had to know that this was lava, a place that was extremely hot. However, Li Xuan was not only fine here, but he was also swimming in the lava.
The key point was that Li Xuan seemed to be swimming very happily. This result also made the blind granny a little dazed. She felt as if her brain had short-circuited, and she could not wrap her head around it.
The two of them stared at each other as if they had been petrified. They stood on the spot for a long time.
“Have you seen enough?”
Li Xuan’s voice rang out slowly. Following this voice, Li Xuan flew out of the lava and landed on the armored giant’s shoulder. He looked calmly at blind granny and the Sword Saint.
“Mr. Li Xuan is actually able to swim in the lava. You’re really amazing. I’m impressed!”
The Sword Saint was completely convinced. He could no longer feel any desire to compete. There was nothing he could do. No matter how powerful he was, he could not swim in the lava as a human.
This ability was too abnormal. It did not even conform to common sense. This was also the reason why the Sword Saint was depressed.
Although the blind granny still had a trump card, she could not swim in the lava as easily as Li Xuan.
Therefore, the blind granny sighed and said, “Mr. Li Xuan, I am the blind granny. This is the Sword Saint. I wonder if Mr. Li Xuan has heard of us?”
“Of course. I still know the title of the number one and number two expert of mankind.”
Li Xuan nodded. The two of them followed behind like rats. Li Xuan had long noticed them, but he could not be bothered to pay attention to them.
However, since they took the initiative to show up, it was a good time to ask for some information. This was because when they reached the fifth level of the Underground Darkness City, the danger that Li Xuan felt was twice as strong.
He felt that if he passed through the fifth level, it was very likely that he would meet a truly strong enemy on the sixth or seventh level. A life and death battle would be inevitable.
Thus, Li Xuan floated up and flew directly to the blind granny, and the Sword Saint. He began to chat with them and ask for information.
An hour later, Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and said seriously, “Did you really not see clearly the scene on the seventh level of the underground city?”.

“Yes. At that time, I had not comprehended the Gold Path of Deceit. I only relied on the extreme power of ice to pass through the fifth and sixth levels and finally arrived at the seventh level.”
“However, just as I walked down the seventh level’s entrance, a golden light struck me like lightning. I didn’t even have the time to react before I lost my light,
“Fortunately, I was at the seventh level’s entrance and hurriedly escaped to the sixth level. That was how I was lucky enough to survive.
“However, I faintly heard a violent and painful sound. It was as if something was howling in pain,” the blind granny said seriously.
“Howling in pain? What could it be?”
Li Xuan was puzzled. He suddenly thought of what the blind granny had said just now, and immediately said again, “Can you use your Gold Path of Deceit?”
“Of course! This is a very high-level power. I’ve only comprehended a bit of it, but it still gives a huge boost to my combat power.”
The blind granny’s voice was hoarse as she pointed her right hand at the Armored Pollution Giant.
In an instant, a golden light flashed and an illusory golden armored man suddenly appeared. He wrapped the giant in the center and then slowly moved forward on the lava.
The lava that fell from the sky and the rolling lava below seemed to have no effect at all. It could not harm the giant.
