Chapter 134
Anyhow, they came at the right time!
If it was the Blood Cloud Clan alone, Lin Yun would definitely die if he showed up. But if the Golden Flame Sect were also here, the situation would be entirely different.
The three overlord forces in the Azure Sun County naturally did not acknowledge each other, and a fight would definitely break out between them. At that time, it would be his opportunity.
“Mei Zihua!” Xue Tu’s face changed when he saw Mei Zihua come, wielding the Demonic Flame Halberd. The Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples also became alert.
Raising his brow, Mai Zihua smiled, “What a coincidence…I never expect that your Blood Cloud Sect is also targeting this stone coffin!”
“Get lost! My Blood Cloud Sect spent at least ten years to deduce that the stone coffin must contain a treasure. What is your Golden Flame Sect trying to do?!” Xue Tu coldly snapped. His right hand trembled, wielding the Crimson Bone Whip. However, the rage in his heart was indescribable.
The Blood Cloud Sect spent a lot of effort, and even many of their men died before they got this far. Furthermore, they even paid a huge price to resolve the array runes. But they never imagined that the Golden Flame Sect would ‘coincidentally’ show up at the crucial moment.
“Xue Tu, you sound as if this stone coffin is your Blood Cloud Sect’s exclusive property. Why don’t you say that you guys have researched the Azure Sun Clan for hundreds of years, and everyone should get out.” Mei Zihua mocked.
“Brat, don’t twist words. My Blood Cloud Sect first found this Sword Grave, and we were the one to remove those arrays. Otherwise, do you think a bunch of garbage like you can make it here?” A Quasi-Profound Martial Realm elder rebuked.
Array? Lin Yun fell into deep thoughts, standing on a pillar.
Now that he looked at it, the entire Sword Grave did seem like a ma.s.sive sword array, and there were many collapsed constructs here. Perhaps the Blood Cloud Sect was the one who destroyed the nodes, and the old man might be speaking the truth.
Then it meant that this stone coffin should be the core of the array. For the core of this sword array, it had to be a cosmic artifact at the very least…
Now he knew why the Blood Dragon Sect would be so unstable when seeing Mei Zihua’s appearance.
“Are you looking down on my Golden Flame Sect?” Mei Zihua did not speak, but an elder beside him. He was furious with Xue Tu’s words.
Seeing that a battle was about the break out between the two parties, Xue Tu called out to some Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples and roared, “Mei Zihua, what do you want?!”
“What if it’s a Cosmic Treasure?” A smile rose on Xue Tu’s lips.
Mei Zihua instantly understood that Xue Tu had no intention of sharing and marked, “Go!”
Although the Golden Flame Sect’s research in this forbidden area wasn’t as deep as the Blood Cloud Sect, they never feared the Blood Cloud Sect in terms of strength.
Boom!
When Mei Zihua roared, the Golden Flame Sect’s disciples all exploded with golden radiance. Any disciples who could come here were elites in the Golden Flame Sect, and they had all cultivated the Golden Flame Art.
The disciples and elders of the Golden Flame Sect all released a dazzling golden glow, and it was a grand scene when everyone executed it at the same time.
“You’re courting death!” Xue Tu waved the Crimson Bone Whip and charged with the Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples. When the Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples charged forth, they activated their masks and went into Beast Transformation.
All of them were eluding with a crimson glow, which seemed sinister. When both parties clashed together, spiritual energy explosions rang out incessantly. With that, the two overlord forces of the Azure Sun County had clashed.
“Fortunately, I did not show myself.” Lin Yun clicked his tongue. His attention was entirely focused on the Profound Martial Realm cultivators from both sides. He had a feeling that he had to use the Thunderblitz Seal, or he wouldn’t be able to withstand their attacks.
“Xue Tu, I’ll give you a taste of my strength today!”
“Do you think I’m afraid of you? You can’t even deal with one Lin Yun. So don’t try to act tough with me!”
Mei Zihua and Xue Tu jumped on the stone coffin and fought. One of them wielded the Demonic Flame Halberd, while the other brandished the Crimson Bone Whip. When the two High-Grade Profound Artifacts clashed, the shockwave from their collision wasn’t any weaker than Quasi-Profound Martial Realms.
“High-Grade Profound Artifact!” Lin Yun had no idea how long he would need for his Flower Burial Sword to promote. Looking at the incredible power permeated from their weapons, Lin Yun’s eyes were blazing with heat.
The aura fluctuation from the two parties clashed had created a decent splash in the Sword Grave, enveloped in the torrential sword aura. But Lin Yun was shocked to see that none of the ancient swords plunged into the ground moved. At most, they only trembled slightly.
“Weird… is this place not the core of the array?” Lin Yun was baffled. He was an onlooker, and he had a better view of the overall.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Lin Yun could sense the flash of killing intent in the boundless Sword Grave, causing all the ancient swords to tremble, seeming on the verge of soaring into the sky. But sword aura soon disappeared, and Lin Yun only managed to recognize it since he grasped the incomplete sword intent.
There’s something weird about this! Lin Yun looked at the direction of the killing intent before turning to the stone coffin. He fell into a dilemma because he had no idea which path to take.
The stone coffin might open if he left, and if he couldn’t find any clues, he would’ve received nothing for his patience. However, his heart was urging him to go.
“Go!” Lin Yun made a decision swiftly. After all, indecision would only make things complicated.
After making his mind, Lin Yun traveled in the direction of the killing intent. He also started to grow shocked as he traveled. In his path, the killing intent from the surrounding ancient swords gradually grew stronger.
“What kind of freaking place is that! The killing intent is even more terrifying than the stone coffin!” Lin Yun carefully headed in the direction of the killing intent.
A brief moment later, Lin Yun stopped and went up a pillar. When he swept his glance out, his face had changed dramatically. There was another stone coffin a few thousand meters out. An ancient aura was permeated from the stone coffin, and it was also covered in ancient runes.
There were several Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples in the surrounding, examining around nervously.
An azure clothed old man was trying to break the stone coffin’s restriction with excitement.
“This…” Lin Yun’s heart fluctuated; it was the Blood Cloud Sect!
There were two stone coffins in the Sword Grave, one real and the other fake. The Blood Cloud Sect already figured out the secrets and purposely brought a party over to the fake stone coffin to fool the Golden Flame Sect.
“These people’s acting skills are really strong.” Lin Yun rubbed his nose and clicked his tongue. Even he was fooled by them, not to mention the Golden Flame Sect. Those who were still fighting were probably still in the dark, and that trace of killing intent must’ve been released by these guys unintentionally.
There were four Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples here, all in the Fifth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm. Furthermore, there was a decent Array Master as well.
Looking at them, Lin Yun started planning how to get rid of these people.
“Wait!”
Lin Yun was patient. There was no need for him to act immediately since he had already seen through the Blood Cloud Sect’s plans. These people would eventually let down their guards, and it would be the best opportunity for him to move then.
Time gradually flowed, and the Array Master’s smile grew denser; everything had been going smoothly for him. The ancient runes that contained dense killing intent on the stone coffin’s surface also began to weaken.
When the last rune was solved, the Array Master wiped the sweat on his forehead, “We can open the coffin now.”
Listening to his words, the four Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples exchanged a glance.
“Rise!” They barked, exerting force at the same time and lifted the dense coffin’s cover. When the cover was removed, a terrifying aura escaped the stone coffin.
Rustle!
Among the terrifying aura, there was a token glittering with a black s.h.i.+ne. The token drifted out, eluding an enchanting aura. Simultaneously, a torrent of killing intent surged into the surrounding, accompanied by strands of sword aura.
“Cosmic Treasure!” The Array Master’s eyes lit up. “Guard me! I’ll retrieve the Cosmic Treasure!”
The four Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples clearly trusted the Array Master and guarded around him, blocking out the onslaught of killing aura from the surrounding.
The Array Master raised his hand, releasing a boundless aura to envelop the token. With a solemn expression, the Array Master slowly pulled the Cosmic Treasure out.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
As the Cosmic Treasure slowly moved, the ancient swords’ tremors in the surrounding ground intensified.
“Elder Mo, can you quicken up?” The four Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples were having a hard time dealing with the killing intent.
The elder wore a grave expression, but he did not speak. His forehead was covered in sweat, which signified his exhaustion. When he finally held onto the token, the surrounding ancient swords trembled and left the ground.
Swis.h.!.+
The swords pierced through the few Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples, making them die a horrible death. The Array Master was shocked by this scene and immediately dodged the onslaught of ancient swords.
But when he looked at the ground, he was shocked to discover cracks spreading out from the stone coffin, which signified that the earth was going to collapse.
“I have to join up with the main party quickly! Otherwise, I won’t be able to leave with my current state!”
But when the Array Master just soared into the sky, he was obstructed by a figure.
The Combination of Tough and Soft, Fusion of Fist and Sword!
Since Lin Yun did not know the Array Master’s strength, he did not hold back in his punch.
Boom!
But who knew that the Array Master was blasted a thousand meters out from his punch, and the Cosmic Treasure fell off his hand. Grabbing onto the token, Lin Yun clicked his tongue. He was surprised at how incredibly weak the Array Master was.
He was under the perception that the Array Master would be equivalent to the Sixth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm.
“It looks like he’d exhausted most of his spiritual energy, breaking the restriction and taming the Cosmic Treasure.”
When Lin Yun blasted out the Array Master, the Array Master had a smear of shock in his eyes before he struggled away and began running.
“Let’s not care about him.” Lin Yun did not pursue and started examining the token.
Boom!
