Chapter 1243 The strange sarcophagus

"Chen Yang, you almost scared me to death just now. I thought you were really killed by Li Yuhao."

Chrissie Chau patted the majestic peaks with a frightened expression on her face.

Chen Yang explained: "I just lured Li Yuhao here deliberately, otherwise he could fly and it would be too difficult for me to kill him."

With that said, he walked towards the sarcophagus in the middle of the hall, intending to observe the sarcophagus up close.

At this moment, someone else came out of the east passage.

Chen Yang was wary and looked over there, only to see Huang Zhengtao, Huang Zhengyong, Huang Shuhao, Huang Yuxuan, and Fu Tingpeng walking out of the passage.

Seeing that it was them, Chen Yang was relieved.

Chen Yang asked: "How's it going? What did you encounter?"

Huang Zhengtao said: "I encountered two demonic beasts in the early stage of forming pills. They were both very powerful in combat. Fortunately, my realm is higher. I joined forces with my elder brother to kill the demonic beasts."

Previously, Chen Yang thought that all those encountered in each passage would be colorful phantom mud beasts, but after hearing what Huang Zhengtao said, he knew that was not the case.

He also told Huang Zhengtao about his encounter with Zhou Xiuna, which made Huang Zhengtao secretly happy. Fortunately, he did not encounter the colorful phantom mud beast here. Otherwise, he and Huang Zhengyong would be fine, but Huang Shuhao and others would be in trouble.

At this time, Huang Zhengtao noticed Li Yuhao's body, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and asked Chen Yang: "Did you kill Li Yuhao?"

Chen Yang nodded and said calmly: "We just happened to meet him."

After having killed He Juming and the other three people before, no one was surprised at all when they saw Chen Yang killing Li Yuhao.

Huang Zhengtao glanced at Li Yuhao's body and said with a smile: "He has only reached the peak of his enlightenment, and he dares to provoke you. He really doesn't know how to live or die."

Chrissie Chau said: "Senior Huang, Li Yuhao has advanced to the level of pill formation."

"So fast!" Huang Zhengtao said with a look of surprise on his face: "This person is indeed the number one genius in the Demonic Way, and his cultivation speed is not ordinary. Now that he is dead, the Demonic Way will lose another big devil in the future."

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said to Chen Yang: "The Demonic Dao robbed Cao Liang of Chi You's essence. There should be three of them. Besides Li Yuhao, where are the other two?"

Chen Yang said: "They haven't appeared yet. They should have encountered a monster and they haven't come over yet."

Huang Zhengtao's eyes lit up and he said: "In that case, let's move on quickly. However, there are a total of four passages here. Which one should we take? And the sarcophagus is so big. Could it be Chi You inside?"

Chen Yang said: "You can't go through any of the passages on the four sides, because they are all connecting entrances and exits, not deep into the tomb. As for whether Chi You is in the sarcophagus, I don't know."

Huang Zhengyong stepped forward and circled around the sarcophagus, saying, "In that case, we might as well open the sarcophagus and take a look, then we'll know what's inside."

Chen Yang muttered: "I'm worried that opening the sarcophagus may be dangerous."

Huang Zhengtao said: "What should we do? The sarcophagus is the only exploration point."

Chen Yang thought for a while and said: "The sarcophagus must be opened, but I will observe it first to see if there is any formation or any mechanism set up here."

After saying that, he started observing the surroundings.

In addition to the sarcophagus itself, he inspected all the stone pillars, floors, walls, etc. in the hall carefully.

In the end, he found that there was nothing unusual except for the suppression runes engraved on the iron chains binding the sarcophagus.

Chen Yang said to Huang Zhengtao: "It looks like there should be no problem. Let's open the coffin."

Huang Zhengtao quickly pulled out his spiritual sword and struck the iron chain with his sword, causing dazzling sparks to fly out.

clang.

The sound of metal clashing from the chains echoed in the hall, just like ringing a bell. The sound was very loud.

However, where the sword blade struck, there was only a mark, and the chain was not cut off.

Huang Zhengtao looked surprised and said in deep thought: "How is it possible that even the spiritual weapon can't cut through this iron chain?"

The rest of the people also looked at the chain in surprise.

"I will try again."

Huang Zhengtao circulated his true energy, poured it into the blade, and slashed with the sword again.

Clang.

This time, the effect was better than before, and a gap appeared in the chain.

However, it still didn't stop.

"Come again."

Huang Zhengtao's expression hardened, and he directly used his magical power this time.

"Blade Wind!"

A sword energy was released and hit the iron chain. With a clang, the iron chain finally broke.

Huang Zhengtao sheathed his sword, grabbed the broken iron chain in his hand, looked at it, and said solemnly: "It's not a special material, it's just an ordinary iron chain. It actually requires a spiritual weapon to use magical powers to cut it off. It’s incredible.”

Chen Yang looked at the iron chain and explained: "The iron chain is indeed ordinary, but the runes engraved on it are not simple. The reason why the iron chain is so hard is entirely due to the power of the runes. And these are just runes that suppress the sarcophagus. If It is a rune specially designed to enhance the hardness. I am afraid that the iron chain cannot be broken by the blow just now."

Everyone didn't understand runes, but they were still amazed when they heard what Chen Yang said.

The iron chain broke, and Huang Zhengtao said: "Shuhao, Yuxuan, and Tingpeng, please take off the iron chain from the sarcophagus."

"yes."

Huang Shuhao and the others responded and stepped forward to take action.

However, although the iron chain was broken, the part pressed by the sarcophagus could not be pulled out at all.

Huang Shuhao and the others tried to lift the sarcophagus, but they couldn't.

The three of them looked at Huang Zhengtao with helpless expressions and said, "This sarcophagus is too heavy. The iron chains are holding it down and it cannot be taken out."

Huang Zhengtao frowned and said, "I'll give it a try."

He did not underestimate the weight of the sarcophagus. He grabbed a corner of the sarcophagus with both hands, circulated his energy, and lifted it upwards.

However, the sarcophagus seemed to be connected to the ground, motionless and unresponsive.

"It looks like the only option is to cut off all the chains."

Huang Zhengtao had a look of helplessness on his face, and drew out his sword again, using Blade Wind one after another. The sword energy made a clanging sound, and the iron chains wrapped around the sarcophagus broke one after another.

Finally the chains were cleaned and the coffin could be opened.

However, successive obstacles gave Chen Yang a bad feeling.

Seeing that Huang Zhengtao was already carrying the coffin lid, he stopped him and said, "Senior Huang, I'll do it."

Huang Zhengtao knew that Chen Yang had many ideas, so he nodded and stepped aside.

"Everyone needs to step back. I'm worried that what's inside the sarcophagus may not be a corpse, but something else."

Chen Yang led everyone back to the entrance of the passage he came out of just now. Then he grabbed the air with his right hand, and a dragon claw hand appeared in the sky above the sarcophagus.

Under his control, the dragon-clawed hand grasped the coffin lid.

The coffin lid was not as heavy as the sarcophagus. The dragon's claw hand lifted it to the side, and with a bang, the coffin lid opened and fell to the ground.
