Lao Wu’s attack was a furious strike, filled with the anger of being mocked and used!
This could even be considered Lao Wu’s strongest move!
But in Zhang Qing’s eyes, this attack became like a child’s play!
Wang Jilong, Lu Yu, and Lou Xiaoyu had only seen Zhang Qing’s single strike sending Old Fifth Lou flying backward.
Lao Wu had no chance to resist at all!
Lu Yu stared at Zhang Qing, his voice low and heavy. “Peak of the sixth level!”
This is the gap in strength. If skills are not used and it comes down to a pure power clash, a level-six peak warrior can completely overwhelm anyone at level five!
Wang Jilong’s face also turned grim, and his bloodshot eyes became even redder!
He also felt as if he had been toyed with, even humiliated. But facing Zhang Qing’s strength, he was equally astonished!
Zhang Qing laughed arrogantly, standing there with his excited expression slightly distorted,得意地说: “Hehe, didn’t expect that, did you! I was already at the peak of level six before entering here. You’ll never have a chance competing against me!”
What Zhang Qing told Lu Yu and the others was indeed true. However, before entering the Beast Mountain, what he obtained was not only some memories, but also a piece of broken crystal.
Zhang Qing didn’t know what it was at first. It was only when he was overwhelmed by the sea of beasts that his blood dripped onto the crystal, activating it. In an instant, his cultivation level, which had been below the peak of the fourth-level star soul, was boosted directly to the sixth level.
After that, he entered the Beast Mountain alone twice.
Relying on his sixth-tier strength and the hidden abilities of his Star Soul, Zhang Qing successively discovered some valuable resources, which helped him enhance his power to the peak of the sixth tier.
Then, based on some information from the inherited memories, he began searching for the twin star souls.
By chance, Lao Wu’s doppelgänger caught his attention.
Zhang Qing immediately sought cooperation with Lao Wu, even revealing to him the location of the Star Burial Ground. After all, in a critical moment, the Twin Star Souls could replace two people with just one. Moreover, it was the Twin Star Souls that held the key to unlocking the final layer.
Even Old Five Lu Yu doesn’t know this!
After the five of them crossed the sword graveyard and entered the black hole, due to his memories, he managed to pass through more quickly than Lou Xiaoyu.
But he has always been hiding his presence, waiting for the right moment to strike!
Originally, he didn’t need to hide his presence. With his strength, if he unleashed it at a critical moment, he would still have a great chance of success.
However, after witnessing the coordination between Lu Yu and Lou Xiaoyu in front of the Beast Mountain, he felt uncertain in his heart.
That’s why the most assured choice was to hide.
As expected, Lu Yu was the first to see through him! But he still managed to successfully grasp his target.
At this moment, the heart in Zhang Qing’s hand actually began to beat faintly, as if it were about to come back to life!
“Now, it’s mine!” Zhang Qing sneered, suddenly bursting into maniacal laughter. With one hand clutching the heart and the other tearing open his own chest, he moved to press the heart into his chest cavity.
Suddenly, the entire hall trembled violently. From a corner of the hall, a cold flash burst forth from a painting on the silver wall, moving as swiftly as lightning, severing the arm of Zhang Qing that was clutching his heart.
This cold flash of light lifted the arm from the ground and flung it into a corner of the grand hall.
Zhang Qing had lost an arm. Before she could even react, she stared blankly at the stump where her arm had been, blood still gushing out!
Several people saw the cold gleam of light.
That was a person, but the expression and gaze of this person were extremely stiff!
The person’s arms had fused with the star soldiers, forming two blade-like arms, and his aura even surpassed the aura emanating from Zhang Qing!
Wang Jilong’s voice trembled as he said, “This isn’t the energy fluctuation of a seventh-level star soul. What exactly is going on here!”
Lu Yu had encountered the Demon Lord and even interacted with demons, making him more familiar with their auras than anyone else.
Such an aura—
Lu Yu’s voice turned grave as he said, “This is the power of a seventh-level demon race at its peak!”
“Sword, Sword Slave!” Lao Wu also recognized the person who had picked up the star weapon at the sword tomb.
Zhang Qing’s voice trembled as he said, “With the Sword Slave right here, how could the master blade possibly act on its own!”
He also felt somewhat flustered. In all his plans, there had been no information about a sword slave being able to enter the sword tomb like this!
At this moment, within the silver walls all around, streaks of cold light flickered, and more than twenty sword slaves appeared.
These people are holding seventh-level star weapons, and even their auras have reached the peak of the seventh level!
“Sure enough, someone’s target is the heart!” Inside the silver wall, a circle of glowing patterns flickered like a portal opening to another place, as a golden-armored figure nearly two meters tall stepped through.
This golden armor is tall and heavy, carved with fierce beast patterns, and appears even bulkier than regular heavy armor.
If a person were inside, it could only accommodate someone about 1.8 meters tall.
It’s like a person putting on a giant mechanical exosuit!
Jin Jia held a star-forged weapon in his hand.
This star weapon is surrounded by shimmering starlight, as if a galaxy were swirling around it!
Jin Jia took the arm brought back by the sword slave, held the heart in his hand, and discarded Zhang Qing’s arm with a cold voice, saying, “You all must die!”
Zhang Qing’s voice trembled as he said, “Two, two tomb guardians!”
The tomb guardian is a living being that protects the tomb, or perhaps not a living being at all!
A typical tomb having a guardian like An Shou is already sufficient to demonstrate the immense power the tomb’s owner possessed during their lifetime.
Two——
Zhang Qing has no memory of this at all!
Lao Wu was alarmed and whispered, “Master Lu, this golden armor is the true master, the guardian of the tomb!”
“It’s the main weapon!” Lu Yu had seen the message left in front of the stone bridge and knew something strange was going on, but he never imagined that the main weapon would actually be a suit of armor with its own consciousness!
Lu Yu could actually sense an aura on this golden armor that was no weaker than the Fire Dragon Armor.
Lu Yu had a headache and said helplessly, “How are we supposed to fight this?”
The last time we were able to kill Tu Xue was entirely due to the element of surprise, combined with the cooperation of Poison Dragon’s Touch and Fire Dance.
Now, who can cooperate with him!
Lu Yu really has a headache!
Jin Jia held his heart in one hand and said in a mechanical, toneless voice, “Kill!”
Boom!
The sword slaves around the palace all emitted astonishing beams of light from their arms.
Sky and earth were overwhelmed by an endless hail of sword beams and knife shadows…
More than twenty sword slaves, each unleashing two area-of-effect attacks, flooded the palace with blinding light.
Amidst the piercing sword beams and flickering blade shadows, the shockwaves generated by a power far surpassing Lu Yu and the others caused the grand hall to tremble as if it were on the verge of collapse.
Lao Wu and Wang Ji Long’s faces turned pale.
“This, this is one hundred thousand, a million…”
“Not just a million, this is at least three million!”
If they still have the strength to fight against hundreds of thousands of level-four and level-five monsters.
The current Sword Slave is a level seven monster, equivalent to an eighth-level Star Soul, three levels higher than them.
Level three, the gap between levels—just a single sword shadow could split them in two! Let alone millions of them!
Zhang Qing watched from a distance the sky filled with sword lights and blade shadows, his face somewhat pale after losing an arm.
However, in an instant, Zhang Qing’s pale face regained its normal color.
A deep blue knight’s heavy armor suddenly appeared on his body.
The sword beams and blade shadows slashed onto the heavy armor, leaving dense marks upon its surface, which shattered within a single breath.
Zhang Qing spent a full 150,000 star spirit stones and a million star spirit pearls on this set of armor!
All of this was preparation for such dangers.
Therefore, the armor shattered, which was exactly as Zhang Qing had anticipated!
As the armor shattered, Zhang Qing’s body emitted another flash of light, and a layer of radiant glow spread around him.
However, this layer of flowing light could not even last for a moment before shattering.
Zhang Qing’s body was slashed by sword light and blade shadows, leaving deep gashes that exposed the bone beneath.
But Zhang Qing, clenching his teeth, had already rushed toward Lu Yu and the others, shouting, “Lou Xiaoyu, if you don’t want to die, activate your domain! I have a way to open a passage and get us out!”
The sky was filled with radiant light, more intense than a heavy downpour!
At this moment, there was no time for Lou Xiaoyu to think any further.
Not long ago, the few were still enemies.
But when the golden armor appeared, everything changed!
The skill unleashed by Jian Nu is aimed at everyone here. Therefore, the order from the main weapon is to kill everyone.
Lou Xiaoyu could also clearly sense the immense power of the golden armor and understood that if they couldn’t escape, they would die here.
As the light was about to reach the group, just half a meter away, Lou Xiaoyu spread her arms. Her feet lifted off the ground, and a brilliant white glow emanated from her body, radiating outward in all directions.
Boom, boom, boom…
All the light exploded upon the luminous shield, shattering the sword beams and blade shadows into pieces.
On the expanded light shield, countless ripples of water shimmered across its surface.
After the previous shock, Wang Jilong now understood the severity of the situation. Glaring fiercely at Zhang Qing, he snarled, “You bastard aren’t planning to run away alone again, are you? If I’m going down, I’ll drag you with me!”
Zhang Qing, using his remaining arm, had already yanked off his backpack and started pulling out various items, tossing them onto the ground. Coldly, he said, “You have no right to question me at a time like this. Either trust me, or we all die together.”
Lu Yu stared at Zhang Qing, unable to discern whether Zhang Qing’s words were true or false.
But at times like this, you have to believe it whether you want to or not!
The ninth-level Shadow Beast is a guardian of the tomb. If this main mount is also a guardian of the tomb, it would have a rank similar to that of the Fire Dragon Battle Armor!
Therefore, facing a tomb guardian at the level of a Demon Lord, they couldn’t afford to miss even the slightest chance of escape!
While Zhang Qing kept rummaging through every tiny item in her backpack, she gritted her teeth and said, “Ten seconds, give me ten seconds!”
Wang Jilong froze for a moment, repressed his murderous intent, gritted his teeth, and said, “Fine. I’ll give you ten seconds. If you run, I swear, as long as I’m still alive, I’ll hunt you down for the rest of my life!”
Zhang Qing didn’t even speak anymore; she focused all her attention on the ground ahead, muttering to herself, “Stay calm, stay calm, I must hurry!”
He is not willing to accept it even now.
But what can one do if they’re unwilling to accept it!
If we don’t escape, are we just going to wait here for death!
Beyond the mask of light, the sword slave’s assault did not cease. As the first wave shattered, nearly ten subsequent waves of attacks followed one after another.
Although the beams of light could not reach the group, their density pressed down on the few, causing them to gasp for breath!
Three seconds, more than ten rounds of attacks.
The attack of the sword slave is ineffective!
Lao Wu and Wang Ji-long had smiles on their faces. No matter what star soul Lao Xiao Yu possessed, merely having such an ability was enough to hold out until the end.
Lu Yu couldn’t feel happy. He could sense the immense power of Jin Jia. He remained silent all along, mobilizing the energy within his body.
All the light shattered, and the sword slave ceased its attack.
Beneath the golden armor’s helmet, two cold beams of light shot forth, like a ferocious beast awakening from an endless slumber of ten thousand years. Those eyes held no trace of emotion!
