Chapter 334 - Golden Pages
That piece of paper was only the size of a palm and it was covered with lines. Suddenly, an ancient aura filled the entire tomb chamber. At the same time, a powerful soul pressure radiated outwards.
The sudden turn of events caused everyone to be stunned for a moment. Then, they flew crazily towards that piece of paper.
"Scram, this is mine!"
Puff.
The people who had thought that the tomb was about to collapse, regardless of whether it was righteous or evil, they all rushed towards that golden paper, blood spewing everywhere.
Everyone’s eyes were red. Anyone who blocked their path, regardless of what was happening to them, had all been killed.
Zhao Mingyuan and the other two were quite far away from the coffin. Because Long Chen had kept his forging platform to prevent sneak attacks from others, he had retreated to a more distant place. Those disciples, on the other hand, were the closest to the coffin.
"Haha!"
Puff.
A powerful expert from the other courtyard who had just snatched the golden paper and was laughing loudly and preparing to say something was chopped off with a single slash.
Originally, that person was from Zhao Mingyuan’s courtyard. He wanted to shout out loudly and declare that this treasure belonged to Lord Zhao Mingyuan. This way, others wouldn’t steal it.
In the end, he underestimated the greed of others. Just as his hand was chopped off, he let out a wail. However, his wailing sound was only half heard before it died away.
A long sword cut off his head. Other people felt that he was blocking their path and directly killed him with a single slash. The person who killed him was unexpectedly also a disciple of a mansion.
However, that disciple was extremely smart. He had long since torn off the symbol on his body and had also smeared something on his face, making people unable to recognize him and not leave behind any evidence.
The entire tomb chamber was in chaos. The entire tomb chamber was trembling non-stop. At the top of the tomb chamber, large chunks of dirt and dirt were falling down non-stop.
The soil was not just any ordinary soil. It was as hard as steel, and some of them were as big as a round table, able to crush a core disciple to death.
However, it still didn’t change their desire to snatch the coffin. This coffin was an inner coffin. Looking at the size of the coffin, it was obvious that the coffin was the real owner of the tomb.
Something that could be pressed on top of a real coffin was definitely a treasure among treasures. Even the disciples of the evil sects were no longer calm as they all joined in the fight.
Right now, the golden colored paper only lasted for a few breaths of time. After several changes of hands, more than a dozen disciples had already died under the attacks of the crowd.
Seeing that the disciples were fighting over it, Zhao Mingshan and the others also wanted to fight over it. That was because that golden piece of paper was most definitely a treasure.
However, they did not want to give up on killing Long Chen. If they were to let him escape for the sake of a treasure, they would not be willing to accept it.
However, for Long Chen, they were even more unwilling to let go of their treasure. For a moment, they were stuck in a dilemma.
They could only watch helplessly as the disciples fought over the items, before constantly dodging the huge clod of earth that had fallen from the sky.
At this moment, the entire tomb was in an even more turbulent state. It was difficult for one to even stand firm.
"Boom!"
With another explosive sound, a stone pillar collapsed and directly smashed into the crowd. Immediately, dozens of people were smashed into pulp by the huge stone pillar.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, a human figure flew out and headed straight for the crowd. A terrifying sword qi swept through the crowd.
"Puff puff puff …"
Immediately, several people were killed by the terrifying sword Qi, including a powerful cultivator.
“Not good, it’s the Great Master of the evil way!”
Someone cried out in alarm. They discovered that the one who made the move was that evil supreme expert. He rushed into the crowd and charged towards that golden paper with the intent to kill.
That piece of paper was very strange. It couldn’t be kept in his Space Ring, so he could only hold it in his hand.
"Senior brother Zhao, save me!"
Right now, that golden paper was in the hands of one of Zhao Mingyuan’s powerful subordinates. When he saw the evil Chosen King rushing towards him, he immediately turned pale and shouted for help.
Now he had to guard against the attacks of a few Dao Seeking Masters and the spying of others. He was still a bit weak. If he joined the ranks of a Paragon, he would die without a doubt.
“Bastard, you’re actually going back on your word!”
Zhao Mingshan was infuriated. He waved the long saber in his hand, and rushed towards that evil Chosen powerhouse to kill him.
Just as that evil supreme expert was about to kill that person, a terrifying aura suddenly locked onto him. If he killed that cultivator, then he himself would have to bear Zhao Mingshan’s full force attack. Even if he didn’t die, he would at least be injured.
Dong!
That evil Chosen realm expert blocked Zhao Mingshan’s blade with his sword and sneered, “I only promised not to interfere with the inside of the coffin. I didn’t say I wouldn’t interfere with the inside of the coffin.”
"Blood Shadow Soul Devourer!"
The evil Chosen realm expert suddenly spat a mouthful of blood on the sword in his hand. Suddenly, a terrifying aura radiated outwards.
"Ahh …"
All the righteous disciples screamed, but they felt as if steel needles were stabbing into their minds. Even the Dao Breaker experts couldn’t stand it any longer, and they all held their heads in their hands.
As for those core disciples, blood started to flow out of their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths. Due to the intense pain in their souls, they seemed to see countless evil ghosts crazily devouring their souls.
"Kill!"
Under the influence of the soul force, the evil disciple became even more violent and started to crazily kill the righteous disciple.
Zhao Mingshan and the other Chosen couldn’t help but be shocked. They didn’t expect that evil Chosen would have such a strange method.
Although they could just barely withstand this force, they still felt as though their souls were being pierced by needles. They couldn’t help but feel shock and fury.
They finally realized that this evil path’s Chosen had always had a method to restrain them. He was only using them as food, and had only planned to eat them in the end.
Puff.
"Ah!"
The cultivator holding the golden paper finally could not hold on any longer and had his arm chopped off by an evil expert.
The arm holding the golden paper piece rose into the air. When the three Chosen saw this, they leapt high into the air and headed straight for the arm.
However, just as the three of them were about to touch the piece of paper, the piece of paper suddenly flew away from the palm.
"What?"
The three of them were shocked at the same time. They saw Long Chen stretch out his hand and the piece of paper flew towards them.
“You’re courting death!”
The evil expert bellowed and twisted his body. He leapt into the air, and like a spring, he instantly blocked the path in front of the golden paper. He then reached out his hand to grab the golden paper.
"Hehe, the treasure belongs to me … Puff.
That evil Chosen realm expert’s complacency had just appeared on his face when blood splattered.
That golden paper had actually passed through his palm, slicing his palm into two pieces.
Everyone was shocked, even Long Chen was frightened. How could this small piece of paper so easily pierce a Chosen’s palm?
Previously, when everyone was fighting over the piece of paper, they did not find anything special about it. They only felt that it was an ordinary piece of paper made of metal.
People valued not the paper itself, but the lines on it. It was very possible that it was an ancient text, or perhaps it contained an unrivalled cultivation method and shocking battle skill.
When they were fighting for it, no one had noticed anything special about this piece of paper. Only Long Chen had felt that this piece of paper had a sort of soul call.
Therefore, Long Chen had been waiting for an opportunity. It was only just now that Long Chen had finally found an opportunity to draw it over with his soul force.
However, when Long Chen moved it with his soul power, he discovered that this golden paper seemed to have an enormous desire for soul power.
When Long Chen activated his soul power, he was like an obedient puppy. A faint light appeared on his body as he flew toward Long Chen.
Long Chen thought that his plan had failed when the evil supreme expert grabbed the piece of paper. Just as he was about to get up and snatch it, the piece of paper sliced open his palm and continued flying towards him.
Long Chen was both surprised and happy. ‘Darling, this is definitely a treasure!’
"Is it a soul tool?"
That evil supreme expert revealed an expression of disbelief. To think that they would encounter something from the legends here.
"Come back here!"
The evil supreme expert let out a low shout, and his soul power began to circulate at full power, flying straight towards the golden paper.
The slip of paper, which was originally heading straight for Long Chen, suddenly spun in the air. Sometimes it was slightly slanted in Long Chen’s direction, and sometimes it was slanted in the direction of that evil supreme expert, as if he was pulling out a river.
"Compete with my soul force?"
Although he didn’t know what was so strange about that piece of paper, Long Chen knew that this piece of paper was greatly related to one’s soul force.
His sea of consciousness shook, and a huge soul force was sent out. The previously hesitant golden paper turned into a golden light as it flew towards Long Wu Chen.
"Pa!"
Long Chen gently caught the golden paper. It was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and although it was only palm-sized, it was engraved with dense lines. It didn’t seem like a character or a picture, but rather some kind of rune.
It felt extremely light to the touch. If one did not look at this piece of paper, even Long Chen would not be able to sense its existence. It seemed like gold, but not gold, like paper, not like paper. It was extremely strange.
"Hand over the paper!"
Suddenly, three figures pounced towards Long Chen’s side. The three Chosen experts didn’t hold anything back at this moment. Their entire bodies exploded with power as runes lit up on their foreheads. A terrifying aura surged.
These three weapons attacked Long Chen at the same time. This was their full power; they wanted to kill Long Chen before the tomb collapsed.
"Boom!"
Long Chen shouted coldly, and the blade in his hand struck out with all his strength, blocking the three weapons.
An explosive sound rang out, and the terrifying power directly shattered the tomb, this ancient tomb could no longer bear it any longer, and with a rumbling sound, the ceiling of the tomb began to collapse.
It was just that because there was still a part of the pillar supporting them, it did not collapse immediately. However, the pillars had already started to fall one after another. Terrifying fragments crazily smashed over.
At this time, there was no longer any chance of survival for them. They all ran in the direction of the passageway, fleeing for their lives.
Long Chen took the combined attack of three people and was sent flying backwards. His complexion changed as he realized that he was flying far away from the escape path.
Just as his feet touched the ground, a stone pillar suddenly collapsed and smashed towards Long Chen. It was too late for him to dodge.
"FengFu Battle Armor — reappear!"
Long Chen suddenly roared as a star appeared in his eyes. A terrifying aura rose as his saber slashed down on the stone pillar.
