C284 Rushing the Hall
Crack.
The shadow stopped, sheathed its blade, and stood up straight. As the blade was sheathed, Liu Gan's body trembled, and the nine-section wheel in his hand shattered. A bloody wound appeared on his chest, and blood spurted out.
Bang.
Liu Gan's eyes were filled with shock and horror. He slammed his palm on the ground and was sent flying. With blood splattering all over his body, he retreated from the red line in a sorry state. He was no longer as relaxed as he was before.
"Is Uncle okay?" When Liu Can and the rest saw this scene, they felt their scalps go numb. Liu Gan had actually been wounded by a single slash. They hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked in concern.
"He can still hold on." The attack earlier had severely injured him. He did not expect that the person guarding the tomb would be so strong, to the point where he was almost the same as someone using Half-step Void Stage.
"What a terrifying slash." Cang Baiyu sighed as he gravely looked at the black figure that was currently standing there without moving. Even if he were to meet the earlier attack, it would not be easy to say that it was not.
"I'm afraid that even if we join forces, we still wouldn't be a match for this tomb protector." Mu Yi laughed, although they had the advantage of numbers, but how could these tomb guards, who were comparable to Half-step Void Stage Warriors, be so easy to deal with?
However, Mu Yi paused at the end of his words before he once again softly said, "Although if we join hands, we might be unable to defeat this tomb protector, but we will be able to take advantage of some openings and charge in. This tomb protector should be a barrier, as long as we enter the main hall, we can be considered as having passed through."
Liu Can and the other two also slightly nodded their heads. Mu Yi meant that he wanted to use the power of others to find an opening and rush into the Sword Sovereign Hall, but although it would prevent people from entering, it was better than not being able to even enter one person. Although both sides were prepared for each other, Mu Yi's method was immediately feasible.
"When the time comes, we'll have to see who has the best vision." Cang Baiyu said lightly.
Mu Yi nodded slightly. Liu Can and Liu Can were both sly old foxes. How could they not see through the trick here? It was only taking advantage of each other.
"Heh heh, this brother can give it a try." Seeing that Mu Yi had an idea, the injured Liu Can also smiled faintly.
"In that case, let's attack together." Liu Gan smiled. He immediately took a step forward, as the vast and mighty Yuan Power around his body surged like an ocean. As the Yuan Power suffused the area, a chilling fluctuation was emitted from it.
Upon seeing this, Liu Wei and Liu Qing also stepped forward. As the aura of a Manifestation stage practitioner was released, it seemed as if even this entire space had started to tremble.
"Attack!" The five people in the sky stared intently at the black figure. In the next instant, they actually rushed out in unison. Their bodies flickered and they had already split themselves into five different directions. Extremely powerful attacks mercilessly attacked the black figure.
"Chi!"
Torrential Origin Energy swept out. Just as the attack was about to land on the black figure's body, the latter suddenly took a step forward. The black-colored long blade in his hand carried a cold, cold glow as it penetrated through the air.
However, this result was within the expectations of the five of them. All of them let out a furious cry together, and with a clench of their palms, a beam of light whizzed out like a waterfall. Within the beam of light, an incomparably tyrannical fluctuation was seeping out.
"Clang!"
The three pillars collided heavily against the black coloured blade. This time around, the combined forces of the three of them was actually able to forcefully block the attack of the tomb protector. However, the price they paid was a muffled snort as their arms violently trembled.
"Gu Lei, destroy!" Mu Yi's eyes flashed. With a flick of his mind, the surrounding thunder clouds frantically gathered. In an instant, a huge lightning bolt rumbled down and landed ruthlessly on the black shadow.
Swoosh.
However, just as the thunderbolt landed on the black figure, a dark light began to revolve on the latter's body as it directly devoured and neutralized the attack.
Xiu Xiu! *
Just as Mu Yi's attack lost its effect, a huge sound of wind breaking rang out from behind. One after another, spear shadows pounced like locusts towards the black shadow. At the same time, Cang Baiyu's figure also flashed forward.
Over a hundred spear shadows seemingly instantly rushed in front of the black figure. At this moment, a dense dark light seemed to have appeared within the deep recesses of the tomb protector's eyes.
As Mu Yi neared, he took note of the change in the person guarding the tomb. Immediately, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. With a flip of his palm, the God Coffin Ancient Sword appeared in a flash and sent out a sword beam.
"Chi!"
A deep roar seemed to ring out from the tomb keeper's throat. With a flick of his wrist, the black blade whizzed out. The space behind it instantly collapsed and a gigantic black light swept out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The black light seemed to tear through space as it swept across the area. The surrounding air seemed to have exploded at this moment. Even Liu Gan and the other two, who were closest to it, were jolted back hundreds of feet while their palms were filled with fresh blood.
Clang!
When the black light swept past, the Ancient Sword in the God Coffin had transformed into a gigantic sword projection that expanded to protect it. Even so, when the black light swept past, the gigantic sword image also rapidly shrank, and a dim light shone into Mu Yi's body.
The air that the tip of the spear touched seemed to be lifted up at this moment, and like a huge air barrier, it swept towards the dark light that passed by. At the same time, Cang Baiyu also took this opportunity to quickly retreat, the tip of his foot touching the ground, quickly retreating outside of the black line, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.
Boom! *
With an explosive sound, the dark light pierced through the air barrier and chased after Cang Baiyu. However, the moment of obstruction earlier gave Cang Baiyu enough time to retreat out of the red line and the dark light disappeared before it could reach it.
At this moment, when Mu Yi saw that Cang Baiyu had successfully escaped from danger, he heaved a sigh of relief. His gaze swept across the area, only to see the dark light on the tomb protector's body dim.
"Now."
Mu Yi's eyes flashed. He took a step forward and his body shot out like lightning, straight toward the Sword Sovereign Hall.
When Mu Yi made his move, Liu Can's figure was a step faster as if he was already prepared to attack. When Mu Yi jumped out, Liu Can had already rushed forward.
However, just as Mu Yi's body rushed past the tomb protector, the dark light on the latter's body surged once again. Without any indication of turning back, it swung its blade backwards, and the huge blade light rushed towards Mu Yi who had just landed but was not aimed at Liu Can.
Mu Yi, who was behind them, felt the space behind them collapse. All of the pores on Mu Yi's body tightened and as his eyes flashed, he suddenly waved the God Coffin Ancient Sword.
Swoosh.
"Tyrant Sword ~"
A gigantic Sword Essence Energy appeared behind Mu Yi. Following that, a gigantic image of a Tyrant Sword appeared. With surging Yuan Power and a grand momentum, it went against the black shadow.
When the terrifying blade glow swept down, it seemed that the blade glow was even more powerful, and Mu Yi's sword beam could not hold on any longer. However, just as that blade glow was about to slice Mu Yi's sword in two, a flash appeared in the black shadow's eye sockets, and immediately, the blade glow shifted and slid past Mu Yi from the right.
The moment Mu Yi threw out the Great Sword, he had already charged straight towards the Sword Sovereign Hall. Immediately, he glanced over from the corner of his eyes, only to see that the black figure had already appeared behind him.
At this time, there was no way to dodge! Mu Yi's gaze flickered, then he gritted his teeth and ignored them. He fiercely stomped on the ground, and as the stone board shattered, his body borrowed the force of the impact to charge out once again.
He was still a little bit away from entering the Sword Sovereign Hall!
Mu Yi looked at the stone stairs of the shrine that was just inches away from him. With a low growl, he agilely stepped out and directly stepped onto the stairs, immediately entering the dusky door.
"Chi!"
Just as his foot stepped on the doorstep, the cold glint had already cut through his scalp. However, just as it was about to land on his body, it suddenly froze.
Outside of the Sword Sovereign Hall, there was deep shock in Cang Baiyu's eyes who was outside of the red line. He had almost lost his life, but he secretly let out a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Yi enter the door at such an urgent moment.
Liu Qing and Liu Wan saw their young master charge in with a face full of schadenfreude. Now that they saw that Mu Yi did not die under the blade of the black shadow, they were slightly disappointed.
Mu Yi's feet landed on the threshold and only his toes were able to support his body. Behind him, the black shadow held a black long blade and the sharp blade light had already touched Mu Yi's scalp. If Mu Yi were to lower his body even a little bit, Mu Yi's body would probably be split into two halves.
However, the black shadow didn't fall down even for a second. The black shadow maintained this posture, and in the end, Cang Baiyu slowly retracted his saber while he was covered in cold sweat. He no longer paid any attention to Mu Yi who had just stepped through the entrance of the hall.
"He actually charged over." When he saw this scene, he was instantly overjoyed. From the looks of it, as long as he stepped into the doorway, he would be considered to have truly passed through this stage.
"That was close." At this moment, Mu Yi, who was inside the door, wiped his cold sweat. If he was a bit slower before, then this would have been a completely different scene.
At this moment, the black shadow was once again standing motionlessly in front of the large door. His eyes were dull and without any emotion, and were as black as ink.
Cang Baiyu, Liu Qing, and Liu Gan immediately gave up on the idea of trying to force their way in. Now, they had no choice but to wait for the people inside to come out. It was already difficult for anyone to enter the main hall, let alone the remaining three people.2
"BOOM!"
With a sound, the opened door started to slowly close. It seemed that once someone entered, it would close up again. When the door completely closed, the unmoving black shadow turned into a black mist with a "bang" and slowly dissipated.
