Free Web NovelChapter 597: Chapter 599: Before That, I Will Kill You!
A majestic sound seemed to travel through countless ages, emanating from deep within the tomb.
"Go in!" Emperor’s daughter Xiyue didn’t hesitate, drawing her sword as she forged ahead.
In the team, one Martial Artist moved swiftly, eager to be the first to enter the ancient tomb ahead of everyone. As he stepped into the dark entrance, accompanied by his screams, he fell utterly silent.
"It seems the Spirit King’s Ancient Tomb is indeed dangerous."
Chen Xiao mused silently, retreating to the back of the crowd, observing the situation unfold.
The elderly members of the Great Zhou Imperial Family watched cautiously, "Our Spiritual Power cannot detect any dangers inside, and our eyes can’t see what’s within. It seems we’ll only know by going in to seize the opportunities."
Yet, the rest looked slightly uneasy.
The Martial Artist who tried to rush in was obliterated in less than three seconds.
No one dared to act rashly.
Jiang Lang’s eyes darted, then he commanded Chen Xiao condescendingly, "You go in first to scout!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao’s gaze turned icy, "Why should I go in?"
Jiang Lang sneered, "You are only Late Transcendent Realm, that’s your only use."
"Or should we let ourselves go in?"
Upon hearing these words, the others also agreed.
A middle-aged man spoke, "Young Master Jiang is right, we are a team now. Making a sacrifice by going in first won’t harm you, will it? What, do you intend to freeload for opportunities?"
The elder from the Great Zhou Imperial Family nodded, speaking indifferently to Chen Xiao, "Since that’s the case, you go in first to scout. If there’s danger, we’ll rescue you immediately."
Chen Xiao chuckled, "So, you mean for me to go in first as your vanguard, a sacrificial lamb?"
"That’s the only thing you can do for the team." The firm middle-aged man replied, preferring to target Chen Xiao, who was only Late Transcendent Realm, easy to bully.
"And you are only Late Transcendent Realm too, aren’t you?" Chen Xiao glared at him sharply, "How about you take on the role of this sacrificial vanguard instead?"
The middle-aged man replied indifferently, "Can I be compared to you? I..."
Before he could finish, Chen Xiao had already struck!
With one strike, he left the middle-aged man spitting blood, face turning pale.
The man’s body retreated frantically, eyes filled with terror.
Yet, before he could retreat further, Chen Xiao flickered, grabbed him, and tossed him towards the tomb entrance.
"Ah—" a blood-curdling scream rang out, and the middle-aged man fell silent.
Chen Xiao’s displayed strength shocked everyone, unexpectedly defeating a Late Transcendent Realm Martial Artist with a single move!
And this seemingly harmless young man was shockingly ruthless.
The middle-aged man who targeted him was directly thrown into the tomb, dying inexplicably.
This was also a warning from Chen Xiao.
Those who dared target him would meet the same fate as this middle-aged man.
"Looks like this selfless elder has sacrificed himself first for us." Chen Xiao clapped his hands, smiled at the crowd, then coldly addressed Jiang Lang, "Next, would Brother Jiang like to try exploring first?!"
Jiang Lang replied with a cold face, "Do you have the skill?"
"You can try!" Chen Xiao’s attitude was assertive.
At this point, he saw no need for pretenses, better to confront them directly.
"And also..." He turned to the elder of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, "Old man, you expect me to go in as the vanguard, but I’m not willing. Shall I send you in instead?"
The elder’s face turned livid, "Young man, don’t be too arrogant, careful not to cause trouble."
"And I’d advise against targeting me; otherwise, before anything else, I’ll deal with you." Chen Xiao shrugged.
"Enough!" Emperor’s daughter Xiyue interrupted them, "We are a team; it’s unfair for anyone to go in first. Let’s all go in together."
"Of course, anyone who wants to back down can quit now."
With Emperor’s daughter Xiyue’s words, the crowd found a way out, nodding in agreement.
Emperor’s daughter Xiyue quietly tugged Chen Xiao’s sleeve, whispering, "Later, follow me behind my clan elders. You’ll be safer that way."
Chen Xiao was stunned; why was this woman being so kind to him?
Could it be she truly fancied him?
He nodded silently.
The group approached the tomb’s entrance.
Even though they attempted to infuse spiritual power into their eyes to see inside, they still saw nothing, and their eyes burned painfully.
"Let’s go in." An elder from the Great Zhou Imperial Family spoke, drawing his weapon and moving forward.
The crowd clenched their teeth and followed, enveloped by endless darkness.
A wave of fear spread through their hearts.
Suddenly, they heard sounds echoing from the sides of the passage.
>p>
Although their vision was blocked,
their hearing remained sharp.
An elder shouted, "It’s a trap!"
As soon as he spoke, they heard the sound of sharp objects cutting through the air from all directions.
Chen Xiao, with his keen hearing, immediately recognized the sound of arrows piercing through the air!
The speed of these sharp arrows was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were upon them.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
A series of metallic clashes rang out.
They could only rely on their hearing to judge the direction, speed, and location of these arrows, quickly swinging their weapons to fend them off.
Chen Xiao swung his long sword, constantly pressing forward.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a hand grabbing his clothing.
His eyes grew cold, but then he heard Emperor’s daughter’s voice in his ear, "Xiao Chen, be careful, stay close to me."
Chen Xiao’s heart softened, "You be careful too."
After that, a few more screams echoed.
Several companions fell along the way, killed by the arrows on the spot.
After a brief period of darkness, a light finally appeared in front of them.
Chen Xiao quickened his pace, breaking through the arrows coming at him and walked out of the dark passageway.
Emperor’s daughter also breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Lang rushed out behind them in a sorry state, still with lingering fear in his eyes.
"Those arrows earlier should be the legendary Spirit-breaking Arrows, capable of easily penetrating a Martial Artist’s defense, and those mechanisms are extremely powerful. Once pierced by a few arrows, you can only wait for death."
Emperor’s daughter counted the numbers, her Great Zhou Imperial Family’s strong individuals were all still alive, unscathed.
Besides these three, only she, Chen Xiao, and Jiang Lang remained, just four people.
Within these four, there were two Transcendent Realm Peak Martial Artists and two Late Transcendent Realm Martial Artists.
And three others had fallen in the previous passage.
This was just the first ordeal, and three had already fallen, showing how perilous this Spirit King’s Ancient Tomb is!
Chen Xiao looked forward and discovered another Stone Gate had appeared in front of them.
The Great Zhou Royal Family’s Martial Artist looked at one of the surviving Late Transcendent Realm youth, "You, go open the Stone Gate." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Me?" The youth’s eyes trembled with fear, wanting to argue.
Jiang Lang kicked him from behind, "Hurry up!"
Seeing everyone staring at him intently, he could only move forward with gritted teeth.
The Stone Gate opened with a bang.
Everyone became alert, but fortunately, nothing happened.
Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"You go first!" The three strong members of the Great Zhou Royal Family said to the surviving Loose Cultivators.
At this point, they no longer hid their intentions.
Their purpose was to use them as cannon fodder.
Despite their extreme reluctance, the Loose Cultivators realized their strength was far inferior and begrudgingly proceeded down the passageway.
Seeing no movement inside, the others began to follow one by one into the passage behind the Stone Gate.
As soon as everyone stepped into the passage, the Stone Gate behind them slammed shut!
Ahead, there was no way out.
They were trapped here.
Then, the stone walls on either side suddenly descended, forming paths, from which rushed out countless metal puppets shrouded in murderous aura.
These puppets exuded extremely powerful auras, all at the Transcendent Realm Peak level, densely packed, making everyone’s scalp tingle!
"It’s over..."
Everyone’s heart sank.
Although they were all at the Transcendent Realm Peak, their power was ultimately limited, and these puppets, with their hard bodies, lack of pain, and instinct for slaughter, were vast in number.
They simply couldn’t be their match! frёewebηovel.cѳm
In the blink of an eye, two unsuspecting Late Transcendent Realm Martial Artists were torn in half by the puppets, dying on the spot, creating an extremely bloody and horrific scene.
Seeing these puppets aggressively coming at them, Chen Xiao’s eyelids jumped, and instinctively, he pulled Emperor’s daughter, without hesitation, into one of the passages!
