Chapter 202 Outwitting Xie Chuan
Surrounded by a sea of lava, the scorching air made you feel like you were about to be roasted alive.
Xie Chuan was convinced that Yang Lingfeng was his enemy and pursued him relentlessly, howling all the way. Zhuo Yang, disguised as Yang Lingfeng, would occasionally glance back at him, a look of fear on his ugly face.
"Yang Lingfeng, do you dare to fight me!"
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Yang Lingfeng, Xie Chuan roared in fury.
As his true energy circulated, invisible sound waves rapidly struck Zhuo Yang's back.
"So you've finally used your full strength?" Zhuo Yang's body trembled, and he pretended to be seriously injured, falling to the ground and rolling around before continuing to run wildly.
Xie Chuan was overjoyed at the sight and sped up.
The two chased each other, following the path made of charred black rocks, until they rushed into an empty stone platform.
The stone platform is as big as two or three football fields, with a high central ridge and steps leading to the top of the platform all around.
From a distance, the stone platform looks like a black pyramid.
Zhuo Yang's figure rushed onto the stone platform and disappeared.
Xie Chuan chased after him to the stone platform, glanced around, tensed all his muscles, waved his hand, and drew his Qingtao Longsword. He growled in a low voice, "Yang Lingfeng, if you have the guts, come out. What kind of cultivator are you, hiding like this?"
The stone platform was littered with corpses, leaving almost no place to step.
The scorching air had long since dried the corpses, with some almost completely charred, their blackened forms particularly frightening. Scattered among the bodies were many weapons and magical artifacts, suggesting a major battle had taken place there.
Xie Chuan carefully picked up a longsword, took a closer look, and immediately exclaimed, "A high-grade magic weapon!"
Any sword you pick up is a top-grade magic weapon, and there are even more magic treasures scattered around. For cultivators, this place is simply a treasure trove.
"Yang Lingfeng, come out here!"
Xie Chuan roared, but there was no response. He quickly squatted down and stuffed several swords into the storage magic item at his waist.
At that moment, a rumbling sound came from the top of the stone platform, as if a huge rock was rolling.
Xie Chuan immediately perked up and squinted at the top of the stone platform.
The loud noise subsided, and then a huge, dark figure appeared in sight.
"Ah, what is that?" Xie Chuan was horrified and turned to leave without thinking.
The enormous black figure was four or five meters tall, and at first glance it looked like a demon from hell. Xie Chuan did not want to confront it rashly.
Xie Chuan ran back to the foot of the stone platform and was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
The rocky path they had come from was rapidly sinking, disappearing completely into the lava within a few breaths. Hundreds of meters away, through the hazy vision, several figures could still be seen shouting and yelling.
"Fly over?"
Xie Chuan swallowed hard, his cheeks trembling.
His movement skills were poor. He could fly for a short time using his true energy, but it was difficult for him to leap over a distance of several hundred meters. The key was that there was nowhere to land on the lava sea.
"Roar……"
A deafening roar came from behind, shaking the entire sea of lava.
"Damn it, this is a trap! I've fallen for Yang Lingfeng's trick!" Xie Chuan cursed, and as he watched the giant monster walk down the stone platform step by step, he turned and ran.
With the road blocked, he had no choice but to run along the edge of the lowest stone platform in search of another path.
I ran around in one direction, but there was no road!
With a whoosh, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out, and Xie Chuan was so startled that he scrambled to the ground.
A long spear flew over his head, plunged into the sea of lava, and disappeared in a puff of blue smoke.
Xie Chuan suddenly looked up and saw a humanoid monster about four meters tall, charred black all over, about ten meters away, holding several spears in its hands and roaring at him.
"grass!"
With a loud curse, Xie Chuan got up and tried to run away again.
He didn't want to fight the monster to the death and then let Yang Lingfeng reap the benefits.
The next moment, a figure burst out from the pile of corpses not far from him and rushed straight towards the huge monster. A sword light flashed in mid-air, leaving a shocking wound on the monster's head.
The monster was screaming in agony, and a large amount of dark blood was flowing from its head.
"Yang Lingfeng?" Xie Chuan was completely bewildered. What did this guy mean? Was he going to stand by and watch him fight the monster instead of being the fisherman?
Zhuo Yang leaped onto a protruding boulder and roared, "Master Xie, this monster is a guardian beast. We must kill it before we can enter the tomb; otherwise, we can forget about leaving this stone platform!"
Xie Chuan stared at him in astonishment, his lips trembling: "You're planning to join forces with me?"
"Master Xie, you're a smart man. There are no outsiders here. Would you care about two insignificant disciples?" Zhuo Yang snorted and charged at the giant guardian beast again.
Two sword lights flashed by, and two more foot-long wounds appeared on the monster's body.
"That monster doesn't seem too difficult to deal with!" Xie Chuan pondered for a moment, then decisively made his move. Yang Lingfeng, who was only at the Heartbeat stage, was able to injure the demonic beast. He himself was at the Golden Core stage, so what was there to be afraid of?
Kill the monster first, then kill Yang Lingfeng!
After thinking it through, Xie Chuan finally moved. He slowly raised the Qingtao Blade, and a large amount of water vapor appeared around him, gradually forming a long blade made of water vapor in front of him, which was six or seven meters long.
"Clear waves, turbid sky!"
With a low roar, the water vapor longsword, like a runaway bull, fiercely rammed into the guardian beast.
With a deafening roar, the water vapor exploded, leaving numerous alarming wounds on the monster's body.
Xie Chuan grew increasingly smug, laughed three times, and then leaped towards the monster, slashing at it with his sword.
when!
With a deafening roar, Xie Chuan's slashing motion froze. The Qingtao Blade struck the monster, but only managed to pierce a thin layer of its skin.
A visible tremor traveled from the longsword to his arm. Then his arm trembled violently, and finally his whole body shook.
The feeling of that fierce blow was like chopping a tank with a kitchen knife, the shock making my whole body go numb.
He never imagined that the monster's body was harder than steel!
With a loud bang, the monster swung its hand and struck Xie Chuan in the waist, sending him flying and nearly plunging into the sea of lava.
"What happened?" Xie Chuan stood up, leaning on his knife, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his face full of disbelief.
If Yang Lingfeng can break through the defenses of a magical beast with his sword, why can't I?
"Master Xie, you hold the line for now, I'll go check out the altar up there!" Zhuo Yang waved to Xie Chuan from the top of the platform.
Xie Chuan was dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
I've been tricked!
Yang Lingfeng must have used a special method to leave wounds on the monster, just to make me mistakenly believe that the monster's defense was very low, so that I would rush up and fight it to the death, and then Yang Lingfeng would take the opportunity to go find the treasure!
Having thought it through, Xie Chuan actually spat out a mouthful of blood. His anger at being tricked had nowhere to go, and the demonic beast roared as it charged forward…
"Yang Lingfeng, you ancestor of Worini!"
