Chapter 3374 – The Fiery Red Sword Qi
The most mysterious place in the Drawing Sword Sect, and also its holy ground, was the Lishan Sword Tomb. At this moment, the inside of the Lishan Sword Tomb had become extremely cold and murderous.
All twelve of them wore grave expressions, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
“Through here is the Lishan Sword Tomb. I’ve never been here either, so this trip depends entirely on each of your fortunes.”
Jian Dongliu said calmly. This was the holy ground of the Drawing Sword Sect. Even he, the number one genius disciple of the Drawing Sword Sect, had never had the chance to enter. From this alone, one could see that the Lishan Sword Tomb was truly a vital place for the Drawing Sword Sect.
“Jiang Chen, do you think there’s really a peerless divine sword inside this Lishan Sword Tomb? Why do I feel a little uneasy?”
Xue Liang said calmly. He usually did not speak much, but every word he did say counted. He looked at Jiang Chen with a trace of doubt in his eyes, his expression extremely complicated.
“Let’s take it one step at a time. Never mind me, even the Drawing Sword Sect’s own genius disciple is coming in here for the first time. What else can we do? Heh.”
Jiang Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile. For now, they could only cut a path through mountains as they met them and slowly look for an opportunity.
They entered the underground palace of the Lishan Sword Tomb. Everywhere, bright pearls lit up the place, dazzling and radiant. The whole mountain above was hollow. Inside the underground palace were countless broken and shattered swords, piled up like mountains and stuck into the floor. All sorts of divine weapons were there, sabers, spears, swords and halberds, everything one could think of. Swords were not the only kind of weapon.
Although it was called the Lishan Sword Tomb, it was also full of the remains of other weapons. Some gleamed with cold light, some were dim and lusterless, some radiated a ferocious might, and some were plain and ordinary, without the slightest spirituality.
In short, the Lishan Sword Tomb glittered with the light of weapons everywhere, stretching as far as the eye could see. The mountain belly ahead extended downward, and perhaps all of it had been hollowed out. The space inside the Lishan Sword Tomb was frighteningly large. It was like a palace of weapons.
Every divine weapon seemed to have a life of its own. They were like members of this place, blooming with their own brilliance in this kingdom of weapons.
At this moment, Jun Tianchou, Li Wuhui and the others did not go looking for trouble with Jiang Chen and Xue Liang either, because what they had to find first was the peerless divine sword, or rather the refining grandmaster the Drawing Sword Sect’s Sect Master had spoken of. Only then could they find the peerless divine sword.
“This damned place really has heavy killing qi. Every one of these weapons is stained with blood. That violent aura seems to fill the entire Lishan Sword Tomb. Over endless years, it seems to have slowly formed an extremely domineering killing qi. With killing qi running rampant like this, its power must be terrifying.”
“Yes. Let’s hope this killing qi doesn’t come attacking us.”
Who knew who had said it, but at that very moment, every weapon in the entire Lishan Sword Tomb seemed to tremble all at once. At least as far as the eye could see, the divine weapons a thousand meters away erupted with saber light and sword shadows, crisscrossing and soaring wildly through the Lishan Sword Tomb, their killing qi rising to the sky!
“Who the hell said that? What a jinx!”
Someone couldn’t help cursing. Before his words had even faded, the killing qi had already begun a frenzied attack. Fortunately, they were strong enough. Every one of them was a Divine Emperor expert, so resisting this killing qi was not too difficult. But the killing qi kept charging at them endlessly, seeping in through every gap, like a swarm of ants that did not fear death, biting at them relentlessly.
The killing qi filled the entire Lishan Sword Tomb and pushed all twelve Divine Emperor experts into quite a sorry state. Divine Emperor experts were powerful, but there was simply too much killing qi from the divine weapons in the Sword Tomb. Once it gathered together, no one could withstand it.
“Buddha’s Light Shines on All!”
Jiang Chen stood firm. The hand seal in his hands changed, and he struck out with Buddha’s Light Shines on All. The killing qi vanished. A layer of incomparable Buddha light almost completely enveloped Jiang Chen’s body, and the killing qi could not enter his body at all.
Wisp after wisp of killing qi finally gave Jiang Chen a wide berth.
The others were not so lucky. Two of them were even tormented by this killing qi until they were in unspeakable misery and complete disarray, without the slightest bearing of a Divine Emperor expert.
“Immortal Execution sword qi!”
Immortal Execution sword qi also forced the killing qi back, as if cutting through the mortal world. Only then did they gradually discover that this killing qi could be broken up and dispersed. In the end, more than ten of them all struck out forcefully, each displaying their divine might, and finally broke through that invisible pressure. The killing qi gradually returned to nothingness, but it still drifted throughout the Lishan Sword Tomb. The killing qi had receded, but that formless, shadowless thing still left them baffled. All they could say was that, for a short time, the situation had been stabilized and the danger was gone.
“There’s light over there!”
Li Wuhui narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice. A red dot far ahead was gradually growing larger. Everyone looked on expectantly. They could even feel an incomparable power exploding outward. That terrifying aura raged through the entire Lishan Sword Tomb. Streak after streak of fiery red sword qi came from even deeper inside the Lishan Sword Tomb, and finally dispersed before the eyes of the dozen or so Divine Emperor experts.
“Could it be the peerless divine sword?”
Xue Liang murmured. A trace of joy surfaced in everyone’s heart. They raised their heads and looked at the blood-red sword qi deep inside, beginning to hesitate.
“Maybe it’s the refining grandmaster.”
Jun Tianchou said coldly. Faced with this scene, everyone was careful and cautious. After all, although the killing qi earlier had not been able to hurt them at the root, this violent killing qi that had formed underground and refused to disperse was truly quite frightening.
“How will we know what it is if we don’t go and look?”
The silver-haired young man stood with his hands behind his back. His footsteps were swift, and he rushed forward, turning into an afterimage and vanishing from where he had stood.
“Let’s go take a look too.”
Jiang Chen glanced at Xue Liang, then at Yan Qingcheng behind him, as if afraid she might run into some danger.
“If there’s anything you can’t handle, you must call me.”
Jiang Chen urged.
“You’d better worry about yourself first. I’m not as weak as you imagine.”
Yan Qingcheng said coldly, leaving Xue Liang beside them stunned.
Jiang Chen gave a wry smile and shook his head, and stopped thinking about it. He quickly caught up with the main group. At this time, he must not fall behind. He seemed to be too eager to protect Yan Qingcheng, not realizing that she had already reached the Early Divine Emperor Realm, and even he could not see through her soul power. Jiang Chen suddenly felt that he was worrying for nothing.
“Fiery red sword qi. Is this really the peerless divine sword?”
Tantai Jingzang looked grave. Streak after streak of fiery red sword qi grew stronger and stronger, coming from deep within the Lishan Sword Tomb. As they drew closer, the fiery red sword qi not only came faster and in greater numbers, but its power also grew more and more terrifying. Even Hierarch experts would probably be wiped out by this fiery red sword qi. They grew more and more solemn.
