Dozens of tomb-guarding beasts, each with a different appearance, surged in the darkness. The smallest among them was larger than an adult man. Only when they approached the firelight did their forms become clear.
Human-faced bats.
Poof—
A sharp sword sliced through, effortlessly dividing it into two.
The firelight illuminated the sword's edge in the dark chamber.
Dozens of Sword Qi crisscrossed. The people of Hengyun Sword City, riding the White Stream Sword Array, resisted the ferocious creatures attacking from all directions.
The sword array seemed unshakeable.
In reality, almost every Swordsman was injured.
"This is indeed not a Legacy place."
Bai Jinghong's chest seeped blood, and his Face was pale.
"Xiao Bai, why don't you go into the array to recover first? You're poisoned."
Cao Mu said in a deep voice.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered. A dark shadow approached from above. He shot up like a spring onion, slamming into it fiercely.
It was a four-winged bat that cunningly dodged the Sword Qi and returned to the shadows to lurk.
"Watch out above!"
Cao Mu shouted loudly.
Everyone immediately became serious.
These tomb-guarding beasts were chaotic and not strong individually, but their methods were strange and they were extremely cunning.
The Hengyun Three Heroes exchanged glances and took a deep breath.
As soon as they entered, they inexplicably got separated from the Elder, and then encountered these tomb-guarding beasts.
Originally, their plan was to hold their ground here and wait for the Elder to find them, but it seemed unfeasible now.
They would probably be exhausted to death before the Elder arrived.
"We must kill that Bat King."
"Only Xiao Bai can injure it."
"We have to wait for an opportunity..."
This was a combined sword technique they had comprehended after listening to Ying Bing's Dao lectures in Sword City. The three of them silently recovered and activated their sword arts.
Suddenly, Cao Mu, who had the most sensitive ears, gave a warning. freewebnoveℓ.com
The moment he warned, Bai Jinghong was enveloped by a river-like Sword Qi, soaring into the sky and instantly approaching the dark shadow above.
The enormous Human-Faced Bat King seemed to sense something, emitting a sound wave that could cause splitting headaches, and then tried to disappear back into the darkness.
Bai Jinghong's speed was even faster, following closely behind and ascending with his sword.
Then, sword lights flickered in the darkness, accompanied by the flapping of wings and increasingly shrill death roars.
After dozens of seconds passed.
Bang—
Two halves of a corpse fell heavily to the ground.
The tide-like dark shadows finally scattered and fled like headless flies.
"Xiao Bai!"
"Senior Brother!"
Bai Jinghong's entire Face was green at this moment, his aura extremely weak, and he almost stumbled and fell upon landing.
"It's fine. I'll take some time; this poison isn't a big problem."
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. At least the immediate crisis was resolved.
Once the Elders arrived, everything would be easily solved....
"Don't relax."
Wu Chushu handed Bai Jinghong a handful of antidote pills and reminded everyone.
"Who knows what else might come...."
Thud—
Before he finished speaking, a tremor suddenly came from ahead, making the pebbles on the ground bounce.
It sounded like footsteps, but they were too heavy.....
Cao Mu's expression changed drastically, and sweat dripped from his forehead:
"Something is coming..... It's coming towards us."
"Those earlier ones, they weren't just appetizers, were they....." Before Wu Chushu finished speaking, he slapped his own mouth.
"!!"
Everyone's Faces turned pale instantly, and their breathing involuntarily lightened.
Senior Brother Wu, can you please shut your mouth!
You're so damn accurate!
A Swordsman, emboldened, threw the illuminating object in his hand forward, dispelling the darkness ahead.
And finally, the outline of that huge shadow gradually became clear.
That dark shadow was several times larger than the previous tomb-guarding beasts, similar in size to that Black ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) Nian Beast. Not just in size, but even in species, they were almost identical.
This was also a Black Nian Beast. In its eyes, looking at the crowd, there seemed to be a human-like....
Mockery?
Those Disaster Beasts just now were released by it.
Among the crowd, only Bai Jinghong could injure it, but now Bai Jinghong had almost lost his combat ability.
"Damn it, let's fight it out."
"It's just a Fourth Realm Peak... At worst, we'll die together!"
Wu Chushu tore his clothes and tied his sword to his hand.
Cao Mu gave him a speechless look.
If he could get out alive this time, he must find an opportunity to poison Wu Chushu so he couldn't speak anymore......
Whoosh—
A foul wind brushed their Faces. That Black Nian Beast had no intention of toying with its prey. It just wanted to quickly devour these blood sacrifices.
The Swordsmen were about to fight to the death.
In the silent underground palace, a familiar voice suddenly rang out:
"Everyone, move aside!"
This familiar voice made them instinctively do as he said.
The next second, a chill came from the darkness behind them, followed by the blooming of a brilliant and cold Sword Qi.
Startling Swan Shadow traversed the Void Realm, the sword in her hand was too fast for the naked eye to catch.
Hiss—
The Sword Qi pierced into the Black Nian Beast's chest.
Ice crystals spread from the wound, as if in another moment, it would be frozen solid.
The Black Nian Beast looked at the cold and clear young girl holding the sword in astonishment. It actually spoke human words:
"You're not...... dead?"
It suddenly became furious, not even looking at the people from Hengyun Sword City, and transformed into a black shadow, rushing straight towards the young girl.
And at this moment.
Several true words suddenly fell from the Void Realm, causing its body to solidify for a moment.
A person followed closely behind the young girl, raising the hammer in his hand. Surging Karmic Fire spread out, striking down with immense force.
Bang!
With a dull thud, it was smashed to the ground.
However, that figure showed no intention of letting the Black Nian Beast breathe, pouncing down.
Bang bang bang—
Each hammer strike made the underground palace tremble.
"Mother of God."
Wu Chushu swallowed his saliva.
"It's them."
Cao Mu truly relaxed at this moment.
Bai Jinghong also breathed a sigh of relief.
Gradually, the fierce smashing stopped. That Year Beast had probably been hammered into a Year Cake.
"As expected of a god....."
"Hmm?"
"Uh, as expected of Li Jianxian!"
Wu Chushu looked at the blood-stained hammer, his eyes twitching, and he changed his words against his will.
"Thank you, Li Jianxian, for saving our lives."
The Swordsmen at this moment no longer cared about Face, praising Xiao Li's exquisite swordsmanship and showering him with flattery.
"What a coincidence, we actually met in the underground palace."
"Well, it's not really a coincidence."
Li Mo had deliberately taken a detour, and for this, he didn't even follow the optimal solution of the chess game.
At this time, the System also sent a notification:
【Congratulations to the Host, you have successfully invested in 'Wu Chushu', preventing his demise.】
【You have an investment feedback pending collection.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have successfully invested in 'Bai Jinghong', preventing his demise.】
【You have an investment feedback pending collection.】

Fortunately, the people were saved, and there was even a bit of hardship pay.
