[Chapter 112] Entering the Sword Tomb
[Chapter 112] Entering the Sword Tomb
In the woods, the wind was howling and the grass was swaying in the wind, as if they were making their final lament for the upcoming war.
Nangong Chenyu walked out of the formation barrier and directly used the Divine Steps. He stopped only after making sure that the aftermath of the battle would not affect the range covered by the formation.
A breeze blew by, and he stood between several large trees, his white robe fluttering in the wind.
In the darkness, three Wolverines slowly approached Nangong Chenyu from different directions.
The level of one of the Wolverines is the middle stage of level three, which is equivalent to the middle stage of human Jindan; the level of the other two Wolverines is the early stage of level three, which is equivalent to the early stage of human Jindan.
Wolverine's eyes were as red as blood, his fangs were exposed, and his whole body exuded a fierce murderous aura. Looking at their huge bodies, their muscles are bulging and their hair shines with a metallic luster.
You can tell at first glance that it's worth a lot of spirit stones.
This made Nangong Chenyu, who was disturbed, feel a little better.
Under the moonlight, the long sword in Nangong Chenyu's hand emitted a cold light, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the Wolverine in the middle.
"Ah--" The Wolverine in the middle took the lead in launching an attack. It let out an earth-shaking roar and instantly rushed towards Nangong Chenyu.
At the same time, the other two Wolverines attacked Nangong Chenyu from both sides. All I saw were their sharp claws leaving traces in the air.
Nangong Chenyu used his divine steps and his figure turned into an afterimage to avoid Wolverine's head-on attack. At the same time, he swung the sword in his hand, and a stream of sword energy went straight to Wolverine on the left.
The sword energy was so sharp that it directly tore a hole in the fur on the neck of the Wolverine on the left, and blood gushed out.
The white robe on his body was splattered with blood, and Nangong Chenyu frowned slightly.
Wolverine on the right took the opportunity to launch an attack. It jumped up and opened its bloody mouth to bite Nangong Chenyu.
Nangong Chenyu turned quickly, and raised the sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the throat of the rushing Wolverine. Wolverine let out a painful roar and was blown backwards by the sword energy.
“Ah~”
With Nangong Chenyu’s current cultivation level, he could kill a Half-Step Nascent Soul even without using his spiritual sense.
Without giving the three Wolverines a chance to breathe, Nangong Chenyu moved quickly, shuttling between the three Wolverines like a ghost. Every time the sword is swung, it is accompanied by powerful sword energy, which crisscrosses and forms an impenetrable sword net.
Although the three Wolverines were extremely brave, they gradually showed signs of weakness under Nangong Chenyu's sword. They were forced to retreat again and again by the sword energy, with more and more cuts on their bodies, and the blood dyed the surrounding grass red.
In order to ensure that Wolverine's skin remained intact, Nangong Chenyu tried to direct his sword energy towards their necks and limbs.
Finally, Nangong Chenyu found the flaw. He flashed and appeared under the head of a wolverine, and inserted the sword into its throat.
"Awooo~" Wolverine let out a shrill roar, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing their companion die, the remaining two Wolverines became extremely violent. They rushed towards Nangong Chenyu frantically, and the murderous aura emanating from their bodies seemed to tear him to pieces.
Standing in the formation, Ye Yisheng watched the battle not far away nervously. Even though he knew Nangong Chenyu was very strong, he still couldn't stop worrying.
Nangong Chenyu's body was as agile as a dragon, moving freely between the two Wolverines. As the long sword was swung, the extremely sharp sword energy directly cut down the two Wolverines.
"boom!"
As the last Wolverine fell, peace returned to the woods and the wind slowly died down.
Nangong Chenyu stood there, breathing heavily. Most of his white robe was stained red with blood.
Ye Yisheng, who was running over, saw it and hurried forward to check.
"Ayu, are you hurt?"
Nangong Chenyu took a few steps back to avoid being touched by Ye Yisheng: "Dirty, I'm not injured, it's Wolverine's blood."
After saying that, he performed several cleansing spells on himself. After making sure that he was clean, he walked to Ye Yishen. He reached out and lifted Ye Yisheng's chin, then pecked him lightly on the lips.
"Be good, step back a few steps. I need to deal with the materials from these three Wolverines now."
"What level are these three Wolverines?" Ye Yishen asked as he retreated.
"Early to mid-level three."
Ye Yisheng couldn't help but take a breath. He didn't see the level of the Wolverines and thought they were only in the late stage of level two or the peak of level two.
"Level 3 Wolverine, you took only half a quarter of an hour to finish them off." Ye Yisheng couldn't help but praise, "How amazing!"
"You will know in the future that I am even more powerful!" Nangong Chenyu turned around and said something meaningful.
Walking to the body of one of the Wolverines, Nangong Chenyu first used his magic sword to dig out the demon core, then skinned it and removed its bones.
Although his current behavior looked very bloody, Ye Yishen felt that every one of his movements looked so pleasing to the eye.
After quickly removing the useful materials from Wolverine's body, Nangong Chenyu sent out the Thunder God Flame to burn Wolverine's body on the ground. The bloody smell floating in the air gradually dissipated as Wolverine's body was burned to ashes.
After doing all this, Nangong Chenyu walked to Ye Yisheng and said, "Let's go back to the formation."
"Um."
Entering the formation, Nangong Chenyu recovered the consumed spiritual energy, while Ye Yishen helped him protect the formation.
As soon as the sky began to lighten, the chirping of birds could be heard in the forest.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen each ate two spiritual fruits and prepared to set off.
The two men stepped on the spirit swords and rushed out of the woods.
With nothing to do, the two of them flew forward with their swords and fought each other.
Whether in mid-air or on the ground, Nangong Chenyu's combat power is the same. When facing Ye Yishen, he naturally let him off again and again.
With Nangong Chenyu as his sparring partner, Ye Yisheng’s swordsmanship improved dramatically.
Whenever the spiritual energy in Ye Yisheng's dantian was almost consumed, Nangong Chenyu would take out the spaceship and the two of them would travel forward on it. After the spiritual energy in Ye Yisheng's Dantian recovered, the two of them changed to flying swords and moving forward, exchanging blows at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
Qinghe Town, Qinghe Restaurant.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen were having their meal at a window seat on the second floor.
Just as the two were about to finish their meal, a man and a woman walked up to their table.
The male cultivator asked: "Two Taoist friends, can we share a table?"
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen subconsciously glanced at the male cultivator who was speaking, and then looked around. There were more than twenty tables on the second floor, and each table was occupied.
However, compared to their table which had two people sitting at it, some tables only had one person sitting at it. Not knowing the purpose of the two people who wanted to share the table, Ye Yishen put down his chopsticks.
"I'm done."
Nangong Chenyu also put down his chopsticks, looked up and said to the male cultivator: "You guys are welcome to do whatever you want." Finally, he said to Ye Yisheng: "Let's go!"
"good."
The two of them stood up and left without giving the male cultivator a chance to strike up a conversation with them.
When they reached the first floor, they came to the counter.
"The shopkeeper, please settle the bill."
Seeing that there were two people, the shopkeeper put a dry bag on the counter and said, "Here are the meals you ordered."
Nangong Chenyu picked up the Qiankun bag, probed it with his spiritual sense, and saw more than twenty food boxes.
The shopkeeper said, "A total of 1,235 spirit stones."
Ye Yishen took out the spirit stones to pay the bill.
After leaving the restaurant, the two walked towards the outside of Qinghe Town.
Not long after they walked away, the jade slip of sound transmission hanging on Ye Yisheng's waist flashed.
Nangong Chenyu: "Hurry up and see if this is a message from Lingyue Pavilion."
Taking down the sound transmission jade slip, Ye Yishen’s spiritual sense probed into it.
[The person you are looking for is named Ye Mingze, the son of the head of the Ye family in Qiyucheng, and also an inner sect disciple of the Tianyi Sect. 】
After Ye Yishen finished reading, he handed the sound transmission jade slip to Nangong Chenyu.
Nangong Chenyu took the sound transmission jade slip, read its contents, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go to Jianxia Mountain first, and then to Qiyu City. Yisheng, what do you think?"
Starting from Qinghe Town, whether you go to Jianxia Mountain or Qiyu City, the time required is almost the same. However, Jianxia Mountain and Qiyu City are in two directions.
"I'll listen to you." Ye Yisheng had no objection. After all, he had already waited for so many years, so it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer.
Jianxia Mountain is known as a holy land for sword cultivators. Deep within it is hidden a sword tomb. It is said that it is where countless sword cultivators from previous generations left their heritage and it is more likely to gain recognition from the ancient divine sword.
Along the way, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen crossed steep mountains, crossed turbulent rivers, and finally arrived at the foot of Jianxia Mountain after five days.
Looking up, I saw the mountains towering into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
Flying is prohibited in Jianxia Mountain, so you can only go up on foot.
The two did not rush up the mountain, but rested in the same place for fifteen minutes. After eating and drinking their fill, they set out on the mountain road leading to the sword tomb.
The mountain road was rugged and the two men moved forward cautiously. From time to time they would encounter some monsters and traps, but relying on their strength and Nangong Chenyu's previous life experience, they were able to successfully resolve them one by one.
After several days of trekking, the two finally arrived at an entrance that looked like a sword tomb. It was a huge cave with mysterious runes engraved on both sides of the cave entrance, emitting a faint light.
Although there was a barrier at the entrance of the cave, Nangong Chenyu still felt the faint sword intent.
"The sword tomb should be inside."
"We have to break the barrier before we can get in, right?" Ye Yishen said as he tried to attack the barrier.
There was no response.
"Let me try."
Nangong Chenyu raised the magic sword in his hand and slashed towards the barrier.
The sword energy hit the barrier, and the barrier flickered. The next moment, the barrier split in the middle to create a passage that was wide enough for one person to pass through.
"Let's go." Nangong Chenyu said, and took the lead to cross the barrier.
Ye Yisheng followed closely behind.
After entering the cave, the two suddenly felt a strong sword intent.
Going deeper into the cave, one can see that the walls are covered with sword marks, and each sword mark seems to contain infinite sword intent. The two of them couldn't help but stop and began to carefully comprehend the mysteries contained in these sword marks.
During the process of comprehension, some residual souls of sword cultivators would appear from time to time.
Some of these residual souls are senior sword practitioners who sacrificed themselves to protect the sword tomb, and some are practitioners who went astray because of greed.
When he met the residual soul of a senior swordsman, Nangong Chenyu discussed the way of the sword with him. If you encounter the remnant soul of a cultivator who has gone astray, it would be fine if they don't provoke Nangong Chenyu, but if they try to seduce Nangong Chenyu, he will kill them directly.
