Where is this?
Zhao Zichuan stared wide-eyed at the sand and dust cave in front of him, his face full of surprise and curiosity.
The old man from Bishan quickly scanned the area and said, "
"I never expected that a cave would be hidden beneath this desert trap. Could this have been an underground dwelling left behind by a powerful cultivator?"
"It does look a bit like a cave."
Lin Xiaofei nodded.
But Zhao Zichuan felt a surge of excitement; he couldn't wait to explore this mysterious place.
Soon, the three of them carefully walked inside the huge cave, their footsteps so light as if they were afraid of disturbing some sleeping power.
An ancient aura permeated the cave, and a faint light shimmered on the stone walls.
rustle!
Inside the cave, all was quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the hollow.
They moved forward cautiously, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily.
Soon, they noticed some stone tables, chairs, and beds placed on one side of the lower part of the cave wall.
These stone artifacts, gleaming with a faint luster, were clearly made of precious spiritual materials.
Looking from afar, a small sword shimmering with mysterious light floats on one of the stone tables.
It radiates endless brilliance, as if it contains a mysterious power.
The three men's eyes were drawn to the small sword, and they slowly approached, as if they could sense the ancient aura emanating from it.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
Zhao Zichuan said in a low voice, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
An expectant glint shone in the old man's eyes:
The small sword shimmered with a mysterious light; it appeared to be a spiritual treasure, with the words "Mystic Light Sword" inscribed on it.
"A spiritual treasure? The Xuan Guang Sword?"
Lin Xiaofei was startled, not expecting that the small sword floating on the stone table was actually a spiritual treasure.
Without hesitation, he slowly raised his hand and released a wisp of divine sense, which, like an invisible thread, enveloped the small sword.
boom!
The moment the divine sense touched the small sword, it suddenly shone brightly, emitted a loud boom, and burst forth with an astonishing aura.
An astonishing aura rushed towards them, and Lin Xiaofei and the other two hurriedly retreated.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Immediately afterwards, sand and stones surged from the ground next to the stone table, and four sand demons formed from sand and stones emerged.
They surrounded the Xuan Guang sword, forming a protective stance for the small sword.
"this…"
Zhao Zichuan's eyes widened, a sense of astonishment welling up inside him.
The appearance of these sand demons was completely unexpected. They seemed to have been summoned by the little sword to guard this mysterious treasure.
The sand demons' bodies are made of sand and stones, and they emanate an eerie light.
Their eyes were cold and resolute, revealing the majesty of guardians.
"What's going on?" Zhao Zichuan asked in a low voice, a hint of tension in his tone.
"It seems these sand demons are the guardians of the Xuan Guang Sword."
The old man from Bishan analyzed, "If we want to obtain the Xuan Guang Sword, we probably have to deal with these sand demons first."
Lin Xiaofei nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"I'll take care of them, you all step back."
The old man from Bishan spoke up:
These four sand demons all possessed the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, the invisible luster emitted by the small sword seemed to enhance the strength of the four sand demons.
These four sand demons are probably much stronger than ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If the four of them join forces, they should be no weaker than early-stage Integration stage cultivators.
Therefore, defeating them might be a bit difficult.
Zhao Zichuan took a few steps back, nodded, and showed a hint of worry.
Although he knew Lin Xiaofei was powerful, the strength of the four sand demons should not be underestimated.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaofei comforted him, saying:
Don't worry, I should be able to handle those four sand demons.
However, that small sword exudes an astonishing aura, and moreover, it's a spiritual treasure. If it attacks us automatically, it will cause some trouble.
His eyes were fixed on the small sword, and he secretly considered how to deal with it.
"Xiao Fei is right. All spiritual treasures have their own consciousness, and the Xuan Guang Sword also has its own will."
If we forcibly seize that Xuan Guang Sword, it will probably be detrimental to us.
However, spiritual treasures are rare and incredibly valuable.
If we could acquire a magical treasure, our strength would increase dramatically, so we can't give up.
As the old man from Bishan spoke, he also took a few steps back.
He knew that Lin Xiaofei's natal magic weapon, the Black God Sword, had been upgraded to a spiritual treasure. If Lin Xiaofei were to obtain another spiritual treasure, his strength would surely reach a new level.
However, they were currently inside this desert cave. If this magical artifact attacked automatically, the entire cave might be destroyed, and the three of them would surely perish.
"What? The Xuan Guang Sword might attack automatically?"
If Lingbao and the four sand demons attack my elder brother together, can my elder brother win?
Upon hearing this, a look of worry appeared on Zhao Zizhao's face. He hurriedly looked at the old man Bishan beside him and said anxiously.
The old man from Bishan responded softly:
Don't worry, your older brother has a way of handling this.
His tone was calm yet firm, clearly indicating that he had a considerable understanding of Lin Xiaofei's strength.
Moreover, Lin Xiaofei did not offer to help, so in his opinion, there was no need for him to get involved.
Lin Xiaofei raised one hand, his spiritual power surging within him, and a dazzling sword aura shot out from his fingertips.
The sword energy, like a rainbow, flew towards the four sand demons guarding the little sword with a fierce momentum.
Roar! Roar!
The sand monsters seemed to sense a danger and roared.
Immediately afterwards, endless demonic energy surged from their bodies, and a large amount of sand and dust gathered together like four pillars supporting the sky.
A massive tornado of dust, like a surging torrent, crashed towards the sword energy.
Rumble!
Instantly, the two collided, producing a deafening roar.
Dust filled the air, sweeping away like a storm.
However, this powerful force did not stop; the sword energy continued forward, attacking the four sand demons.
Before the four sand demons could react, they were instantly killed. Their bodies separated automatically and fell to the ground like powder.
A glint of light flashed in Lin Xiaofei's eyes as he said, "
I didn't expect to take them down so easily.
A look of delight appeared on his face, and he was about to take a step forward.
To everyone's surprise, four more sand demons appeared beside the stone table. Clearly, they were the same four sand demons as before.
Lin Xiaofei frowned deeply, thinking to himself:
What exactly happened?
He realized that things were probably not that simple.
"If I'm not mistaken, those four sand demons received a tremendous boost of power under the endless radiance emitted by the Xuan Guang Sword."
It would be difficult to kill those four sand demons using ordinary methods.
After all, the sand demon's body was formed from sand and stone; even if it were shattered, it could quickly reform, especially with the help of that small sword.
The old man from Bishan spoke.
Lin Xiaofei nodded slightly and said:
What should I do?
This Xuan Guang sword must have been left here by its owner.
The four sand demons beside it acted as its gatekeepers, even endowing the spirit treasure with some special abilities.
