272: Chapter 40: The Entrant 272: Chapter 40: The Entrant “This…”
Xie Xuanyi stared at the black box in his palm, somewhat dazed.
So many years.
It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
The scene just now was like a dream, illusionary, yet incredibly real.
There was only one explanation.
The battlefield at Resentful Ghost Ridge, surrounded by evil spirits and after countless years of sedimentation, had formed a special heaven-earth formation, powerful enough to affect the minds of those who entered…
Even a Divine Soul Practitioner like Xie Xuanyi was disturbed by the Divine Soul Illusion Realm of the ancient battlefield.
Soon, Xie Xuanyi regained his senses.
He looked intently at the black box in his palm, trying to open it with Primordial Power.
Click!
The black box remained unmoved!
“This is a relic from the ancient battlefield, probably sealed by a special secret technique,”
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow.
He gazed at the black box, its serpentine dragon patterns containing ancient and mysterious power.
Clearly.
Ordinary Primordial Power couldn’t open this box.
Following this logic, to open the box, one would need to find the corresponding patterns and decrypt them.
But Xie Xuanyi was not that patient.
“Chen Ke!”
He stepped back, threw out the black box, and unleashed his Lifebound Flying Sword!
Hum!
The golden brightness surged!
A streak of sword light flew out from Xie Xuanyi’s forehead, directly striking the black box!
Crisp crack.
The black box burst into crackling sounds under strain, the dragon patterns lit up with a brilliant golden light, the next moment they were overwhelmed by the sword brilliance of Chen Ke…
The Black Evil ancient general who had carried the black box likely had the strength of about a Half-step Yin God, and the treasures they carried, being at most Spiritual Treasures, even if marked with secret runes, couldn’t be harder than Chen Ke!
The way to break it was simple.
If one sword wasn’t enough, then another one!
Boom!
Chen Ke aimed at the black box and struck for the second time, the dragon patterns shattered, and the box smoothly landed in Xie Xuanyi’s palm, popping open on its own.
Lying within was a black arrowhead with a gold-plated tip.
Xie Xuanyi squinted his eyes.
On this arrowhead, he felt an immense Dao intent.
This Dao intent was somewhat similar to the arrow Qi of the previous Black Evil ancient general, but much more mighty!
If he wasn’t mistaken.
This arrowhead housed within the black box was the “heavy weapon” from that previous war!
Years ago.
These iron cavalry gathered together to fight against that just now Dragon Descendant…
Ordinary soldiers couldn’t inflict any damage on the Dragon Descendant!
But this arrowhead was different.
“This dragon-patterned box holds…
an Array Pattern Treasure specifically for slaying Dragon Descendants?”
Xie Xuanyi suddenly understood.
To kill a dragon with a strategy of numbers,
these iron cavalry leaders needed to pay the price of their lives to shoot out the “Secret Rune Arrow” from the black box.
“Is this ancient battlefield formed because of this?”
Xie Xuanyi caressed the arrowhead, somewhat shocked.
In the scripture archives of Da Sui Sword Palace, there was absolutely no record of this history…
Clearly.
This was a piece of buried ancient history.
He was curious.
In that battle, who ultimately won?
After pondering for a moment,
Xie Xuanyi looked ahead.
The iron cavalry had disappeared into the fog.
Countless Black Evils scattered, revealing a long path.
…
…
“Damn it!”
“How long are these iron riders going to chase us?”
On the other hand, the situation for Fang Hang and the others was not going well.
Xie Sheng and Yu Wenzhong looked pale.
The Taoist from Tai Shang House forcefully employed the Thunder Technique to advance amid the Black Evil…
Behind the three men, an endless stream of iron riders chased after them.
Their encounter was different from that of Xie Xuanyi.
They didn’t see the “Dragon Slaying” image from a thousand years ago.
They just kept moving forward in the endless darkness, ever onward.
Just as Fang Hang was about to exhaust his Thunder Talisman…
at the end of Black Evil appeared a glimmer of light.
“Charge!”
Yu Wenzhong’s eyes lit up!
The Qiantian Palace Saint took a deep breath and dashed towards the light.
This was a portal!
Clearly, this Secret Realm had more than one exit—
The three felt a great relief.
When they saw that portal, all three heavenly talents took a deep breath of relief.
“Wait…”
Just as the three were about to rush to the portal Array Pattern,
Xie Sheng suddenly felt his pupils contract.
He sensed a familiar aura again.
In front of that portal.
A wisp of Sword Qi swayed like wild grass.
“Xie Xuanyi’s Sword Intent?”
Fang Hang was also startled.
The three exchanged glances, all stunned; they had never expected to encounter Xie Xuanyi’s Sword Intent here a second time!
“Did Xie Xuanyi also come to this damned place in the past?”
Yu Wenzhong found it hard to believe.
What did the appearance of such a wisp of Sword Qi in this place mean?
It meant.
This Secret Realm had very likely already been “explored” by Xie Xuanyi before.
“To lay down this Sword Qi, at least Divine Thought must reach…”
Fang Hang clenched his teeth and said, “Xie Xuanyi’s Divine Thought has been here before, he must have been unable to explore at the time, so he left Sword Qi as a marker.”
Prince Jiangning’s face darkened, no longer considering the iron riders behind.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, “So…
within this Secret Realm, there must be a great fortune.”
“Great fortune…”
Yu Wenzhong frowned and said, “Did Xie Xuanyi perceive the danger here back then, so he just laid down a Sword Qi marker without rashly stepping in?”
Xie Sheng shook his head, noncommittal.
This.
No one could know.
But the current situation was very simple.
The Black Evil iron riders were about to catch up…
whether behind that portal lies great fortune or grave danger, the three had no choice but to step in!
“Gentlemen, at this point, we no longer have a choice!”
Fang Hang said in a deep voice, “Let’s join forces and remove this wisp of Sword Qi marker!”
…
…
“This road is very quiet.”
Xie Xuanyi walked alone, journeying through the dark abyss.
Resentful Ghost Ridge.
Before the Yin Sha Condensation soldiers appeared, it didn’t seem like an Ancient Battlefield at all.
