#1081 - Strange tombs

The experts from Hanzhou and the Haihe tribe had already guessed that the target didn't seem to have brought the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King into the ancient tomb; otherwise, they would have summoned it long ago.

Although they didn't expect the target to have an ancient beast with terrifying control abilities by his side, the absence of the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King meant they had lost their attack capability!

With only the Holy King realm, no matter how talented, they couldn't possibly break through the defenses of a half-step Overlord Saint like them!

That was the source of their confidence!

So, what if they were controlled? Such control wouldn't last long.

They could remain motionless and let the target attack without suffering any harm.

"Boy with the surname Yue, how does that saying go? A man should know his place. Have you ever seen an ant on the ground competing with an eagle soaring in the sky?"

They sneered repeatedly, their faces full of contempt and ridicule.

"Who is the ant, and who is the eagle?"

On Jun Wuxie's indifferent face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of playfulness appeared in his eyes.

With a wave of his sleeve, Xu Yan'ning and An Ning were released from his Qiankun Sleeve.

The two women were stunned when they saw the scene, unable to react for a moment.

Three powerful half-step Overlord Saints were in front of them, maintaining strange postures, not moving at all, only their eyes rolling.

They looked at Jun Wuxie in unison, intending to ask, but Jun Wuxie walked towards the Haihe tribe expert.

"What, Yue, are you going to come and tickle me?"

The Haihe tribe expert's mockery was particularly harsh. Although his lips couldn't move, the ventriloquism he emitted was very clear and loud.

"Yes, you will soon be ticklish, and it will itch every inch of your skin and every bone to the point of ecstasy."

As Jun Wuxie's words fell, the weapon Dao cave within him surged with weapon fire.

A ball of fire suddenly ignited in his palm.

The moment the flames appeared, the Haihe tribe expert's expression changed drastically, and his pupils dilated violently.

With a boom, Jun Wuxie's palm covered the Haihe tribe expert's entire head.

The golden flames instantly spread from the Haihe tribe expert's head downwards, igniting his entire body, burning fiercely.

Ah!!

A shrill scream echoed through the dim ancient tomb corridor, reverberating in this eerie place, making one's scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over.

This scene terrified the two half-step Overlord Saints from Hanzhou.

What kind of flame was that, possessing such power!

The boy with the surname Yue was only in the Holy King realm, how could he have cultivated such flames?

The Haihe tribe expert wailed in endless pain. The intense pain made him want to struggle to alleviate the suffering, but due to the absolute slowness supernatural power being applied to him, even his dying struggles were just slow-motion contortions in the burning flames.

Everyone watched as his flesh turned to ashes in the flames, leaving only a skeleton, which soon burned as well, completely turning into ashes.

Lan Lan was responsible for supplementing the supernatural power from the side, always keeping the target in a controlled state, unable to move, and could only watch death approach.

The experts from Hanzhou were terrified. The contempt and ridicule they had before were gone from their pupils, replaced by fear.

On their faces, beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down their cheeks.

The shadow of death, fear and despair, engulfed them like an abyss.

This kind of helplessness, unable to even move a finger, and only being able to passively wait for death, made them feel despairing and helpless.

"Yue Wuxie, do you know what it means to go against our major sects?"

"We are top sects in Hanzhou, we have experts in the half-step Holy Emperor realm! If you dare to do this, the entire Dagan will be buried with your foolish actions in the future!"

"We advise you to release us, leave Dagan, and listen to our arrangements. Not only can you save your life, but you can also guarantee the safety of the people around you!"

The two half-step Overlord Saints from Hanzhou were stern and cowardly. Seeing their lives threatened and hanging by a thread, they tried to bring out the sects behind them to put pressure on Jun Wuxie.

Upon hearing this, Jun Wuxie, with his palm burning with flames, slammed it on one of their heads, and the person immediately let out a miserable cry.

The golden flames instantly spread from his head downwards, burning to his feet, completely turning him into a fire person.

"No...don't...Yue Wuxie...let me go, you can name any conditions you want!"

The remaining person was frightened to the point of cracking his liver and gallbladder by the cruel scene in front of him.

He watched as his companion's body turned red in the golden flames, countless cracks appeared in his flesh, and then turned into ashes, revealing the red-hot skeleton.

That shrill cry didn't sound like a human could make at all, making people feel chills all over and their hair standing on end.

"Those who want to kill me shall not live. You still want to exchange your life with conditions?"

Jun Wuxie's palm covered forward, and the expert's pupils dilated, letting out an angry roar full of fear.

A large amount of flames poured down, submerging his entire person.

Ah!!

Under the cover of the flames, a shrill scream rang out instantly, constantly echoing in the corridor of this ancient tomb.

Soon, the third expert completely turned into ashes.

The weapon fire went out, and the ancient tomb corridor returned to darkness.

The corridor was deep, with no end in sight. Under the dim light, it appeared a bit eerie and terrifying.

"Young Master, the flames you used just now..."

An Ning finally recovered from the deep shock.

It was too terrifying, that was a half-step Overlord Saint.

At this realm, they were top experts in Qingzhou.

But they had no power to fight back in front of Young Master Yue.

Even in the mythical realm of the Holy King realm, it was impossible to kill a half-step Overlord Saint. The difference between the two realms was too great, and it was impossible to break through their defense.

But Young Master Yue obviously broke this shackle, turning the impossible into possible!

"Forgot that I am a Weapon Refinement Saint Master?" Jun Wuxie spread out his palm, a cluster of golden flames sprang up from his palm, and said: "A special alien fire of a third-realm peak Saint Talisman Master, it is not difficult to burn an Overlord Saint to death."

"What?"

An Ning was stunned. In addition to being shocked, she couldn't believe her ears.

This man in front of her was simply...

She didn't know how to describe it anymore.

Martial arts, talisman, and weapon three cultivations, a martial arts myth, a talisman genius, and his weapon Dao cultivation had actually reached the third-realm peak of a Saint Weapon Refiner!

She had always thought that he was only at the second-realm peak of a Saint Weapon Refiner, or at most the early stage of the third realm.

Because at this age, the second-realm peak was unheard of, and the early stage of the third realm was already heaven-defying.

What she didn't expect was that he was actually at the third-realm peak!

That weapon fire was very special, looking somewhat like some kind of source true fire, extremely terrifying!

Xu Yan'ning was not surprised. She had known for a long time that Jun Wuxie was a third-realm peak Saint Weapon Refiner.

In that valley, she had witnessed the entire process of his weapon refinement.

A person who could refine top-grade high-level Saint Weapons and top-grade peak Saint Weapons was at least a third-realm peak Saint Talisman Master.

But seeing An Ning's shocked appearance, as well as the fiery worship and deep awe in her eyes, Xu Yan'ning felt extremely proud in her heart.

This was the person she had been secretly in love with for so many years.

Since the lower realm, he had always been so outstanding, unmatched in the world.

Whether in the lower realm, or in the vast and boundless upper realm, in this so-called high-level cultivation civilization universe, at the same age and same realm, who could have achievements like Lord Jun?

She believed that there was no one in the past, there was no one now, and there would be no one in the future!

Because only he could do it, he must also be the only one!

"Let's go, let's go inside and take a look."

Jun Wuxie interrupted An Ning's reverie. He signaled Lan Lan to walk in front, Xu Yan'ning and An Ning to walk in the middle, and he himself to stay at the rear.

The ancient tomb corridor was very long, silent, and the light was very dim. Only a lamp on the wall every ten meters or so emitted a faint light.

They walked a long way along the corridor, and never saw a fork in the road.

But the more Jun Wuxie walked, the more strange he felt.

"Why does it seem...no one has been here before?"

Not only him, Xu Yan'ning and An Ning also noticed the problem.

They all looked at the ground, showing a look of surprise.

Although the ancient tomb corridor was dimly lit, it did not affect their eyesight.

They had walked dozens of miles before, and they could still see footprints left on the ground, which were traces of people walking.

But in the dozen or so miles they had walked later, they had not seen any footprints again.

Even if those who came in were flying in the air, they would at least leave some aura along the way.

But they didn't sense it. Even if Jun Wuxie carefully searched and sensed with his Overlord Saint realm divine sense, he didn't gain anything.

"This ancient tomb is not simple. It seems that there are formations and mechanisms along the way. After those people came in, they may have touched something on the way and opened up other paths."

After thinking about it, Jun Wuxie made this analysis.

Xu Yan'ning nodded, "That's the only possibility. In fact, before coming in, I originally thought that there was a cave inside this ancient tomb, and there should be a vast world, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"The cave is still behind, we haven't even touched the core area of the ancient tomb, far from it. Although we have entered the ancient tomb corridor now, we haven't reached the tomb chamber yet, it's still very big inside!"

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he asked Lan Lan to continue walking forward.

Lan Lan had an extremely keen sense of unknown dangers. That kind of perception was much stronger than his Overlord Saint realm divine sense.

That came from its bloodline talent, which was incomparable.

Finally, they came to the end of the corridor.

Here, there were two stone doors, tall and heavy, covered with the dust of time.

On the stone gate were patches of dark red blood. In the center of the left and right doors, respectively, were embedded two hideous human skulls, the eye sockets of which were still congealed with blood.

The scene looked somewhat eerie.

Lan Lan stopped dozens of meters away from the stone gate, its fur standing on end. Its eyes were fixed on the stone gate, and a warning growl emanated from its throat.

Xu Yan'ning and An Ning, being women, felt somewhat uneasy in such a scene, facing such a sight.

The two blood-dripping skulls on the door, with their empty eye sockets, were like two terrifying abysses, as if staring at them, about to pull them into the endless abyss.

However, apart from the skulls looking terrifying and unsettling, they did not sense any other dangerous aura.

Jun Wuxie felt the same. His soul, at the Overlord Saint Realm, did not sense any danger behind the stone gate.

However, he knew very well that Lan Lan's prediction of danger was absolutely correct. There was no doubt that what lay behind the stone gate was extremely dangerous.

He just didn't know what kind of danger it was, and whether he could handle it.

Usually, danger is accompanied by opportunity.

In the lower realm, Lan Lan had foreseen danger many times, but on several occasions, he still chose to move forward, eventually obtaining great opportunities and rich rewards.

He took two steps forward, looked at the stone gate embedded with skulls, and then looked at Xu Yan'ning and An Ning, ultimately deciding to give up.

If he hadn't brought them along, he might have tried it, but bringing them along, knowing it was extremely dangerous and without much certainty, yet insisting on going, would be highly irresponsible.

"We…"

He had just started speaking when his voice suddenly stopped, followed by screams from Xu Yan'ning and An Ning.

The area where they were standing suddenly collapsed without warning.

With their cultivation levels, even if the ground collapsed, they shouldn't have fallen, being fully capable of levitating.

However, the moment the ground collapsed, it felt as if an invisible gravity was pulling them down, dragging them down all at once.

So sudden was the event that Xu Yan'ning and An Ning screamed in shock, but quickly regained their composure.

At the same time, Jun Wuxie constructed a blood qi sphere, enveloping them and Lan Lan completely.

Their bodies were sliding at high speed in the dark tunnel.

It was too dark, and they couldn't see anything, even with pupil techniques.

In this dark tunnel, pupil techniques were ineffective. It seemed that a mysterious law was flowing, preventing the pupil techniques from working.

Moreover, the light from Jun Wuxie's blood qi sphere could only illuminate within three meters. Beyond that, the light could not reach.

The dark tunnel was not straight, but winding.

"Young Master, what… what is that?"

An Ning's voice trembled with horror, pointing to the sides of the dark tunnel.

The tunnel was not large, only enough for people to slide while sitting, with only about half a foot of space left for the head.

The sides were not completely closed off. Every so often, there was a rectangular hole.

"Brother Yue~"

Xu Yan'ning held his arm tightly with both hands. In such an environment, she also felt terrified.

Speaking of which, after experiencing so much over the years, her willpower had long been tempered to be resilient, and her courage had become great.

A cultivator like her, a proud daughter of heaven, shouldn't have been frightened.

But this place was truly terrifying. There was an atmosphere in the dark that unconsciously permeated the heart, affecting one's state of mind.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jun Wuxie held their hands, giving them a sense of security. His gaze was also fixed on the points that An Ning and Xu Yan'ning were concerned about, which were the rectangular holes located on both sides of the tunnel where they were currently sliding down, visible every so often.

Each time he slid past a hole, he saw, by the light of the blood qi sphere, corpses wearing ancient clothing lying in the narrow space inside the hole.

The faces of those corpses were gaunt and pale, their sharp, elongated fangs exposed outside their lips. Their fingernails were very long, straight, and gleamed with a dark light.

Several times, he even saw some of them open their eyes.

It was just that those eyes had no pupils at all, only pale eyeballs, which looked very eerie.

How could this ancient tomb bury human corpses in such a place, in such a narrow space? It was clearly not a normal burial.

Moreover, these were not normal corpses!

He felt that this place was full of strangeness. Perhaps this ancient tomb was different from what the world imagined, and it contained more than just the tomb owner!
