Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 169: Whether human or ghost, they are all showing off

Views:

If it is a temporary team, basically no one dares to go to the front in this situation, because even if there is no need to guard against backstabs, the risk of leading the way in front is the greatest.

The round part of Tang Wanzhuang disappeared from Zhao Changhe's sight, and she had already drilled out of the "dog hole".

The next moment, strong winds blew up and two sharp swords stabbed from left and right.

Tang Wanzhuang slightly tilted her head, stretched out her hand and gently moved. The two swords brushed past her nose and collided with each other, making a "ding" sound.

Zhao Changhe got out quickly. The dragon bird was too big for him to pull out in time. He kicked to the right as soon as he got out. He heard a "bang" and it felt like he kicked on clay.

Human figurine

Regardless of whether it was a human figurine or not, Zhao Changhe only felt that his kick was very weak. The figurine did not react when he kicked it, and he staggered and almost lost his balance. It was as if there was some powerful pressure coming over him, making it hard to breathe. All his strength was subconsciously used to fight it. The sharp sword intent passed through his skin, making his hair stand on end.

Sword domain pressure

When I looked closely, I found that it was pitch black and I could only vaguely see the outline of a human figure.

The external passage was also dark before, but everyone has practiced till now and their night vision is pretty good, so it basically does not hinder visual communication. The expression of the old man from the Lu family could be seen clearly before, and the full moon of Tang Wanzhuang swaying in front of them was very clear and round.

But through this door, one was immediately under some kind of strange suppression, as if even the night vision was restricted, and one could only see vague outlines.

But you can breathe normally, there is air here. I don't know how they do the ventilation.

With a flash of thought, Tang Wanzhuang had already drawn her sword, splitting the light to the left and right, and with two "swish" the sword cut off the opponent's arm. The sound of two pieces of clay and the iron sword falling to the ground was quite obvious.

With the broken arm, the two human figurines also stopped moving.

"It is indeed a human figurine." Tang Wanzhuang whispered, "A wisp of sword intent is stored in it. When it encounters an enemy, it can already use sword skills... The cultivation of this Sword Emperor during his lifetime was truly the power of a god or Buddha."

Zhao Changhe frowned. In fact, whether the opponent was strong or not was another matter. It was uncomfortable if he couldn't exert his strength, especially since it was so dark here that he couldn't see anything and couldn't even analyze and judge the situation. The boundless darkness could only bring endless guilt.

"Are there any lights?"

Sisi had gotten in without knowing when, and only then said, "Don't light it. This is unconventional tomb-robbing knowledge. No matter whether you can light a fire or not, you can't light it. Don't use night-shining pearls or anything like that. Once there is light, something strange might happen."

Zhao Changhe closed his mouth.

Tang Wanzhuang whispered, "This is the sword domain. It restricts the five senses and suppresses the internal energy. It is essentially a warning. You can't see anything, so naturally you dare not move forward."

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Can't see anything?"

Tang Wanzhuang said: "Can you see? I can only see a little bit of your blurry outline."

Zhao Changhe: “…”

This cheat of the back eye is a bit outrageous. I thought it only enhanced the five senses, but from here, it seems that it can ignore this kind of "field" effect. The third place on the Earth List can see the same state as myself.

It seems that Sisi is probably blind.

Zhao Changhe reached back and grabbed Sisi's hand.

Sisi felt that he was taking advantage of her and was stunned. She then remained silent and did not pull her hand away.

In fact, she had another secret method, not only could she see, but she could see more clearly than others. But she knew what Zhao Changhe meant by holding it like this, and her heart was extremely complicated.

But he still deliberately asked: "Since we can't see anything, how can we get in?"

Tang Wanzhuang said, "We are not here to rob tombs, nor for the inheritance of the Sword Emperor. We are here to investigate this strange vibration and prevent any accidents. We are also here to find out the status of this tomb and try to reseal it underground. Everything we do is based on the premise of not causing any accidents and keeping Gusu safe, so there is no need to go inside."

Sisi asked, "But if you don't go inside, how can you find out where the earthquake is coming from?"

"The biggest difference between opening the secret treasures of the human body and the Xuanguan realm is that the Xuanguan realm only cultivates the human body, both inside and outside. The so-called secret treasures are to open the bridge between heaven and earth, and cultivate the relationship between heaven and earth. Spiritual perception can replace the five senses to a large extent, and this seat has already opened the three major secret treasures."

Sisi opened her mouth and closed it again.

How could I always forget that this person could truly call herself "this Lord", not one of those small gangs or factions, nor a delicate and timid sickly person who would fall down at the slightest breeze. In the entire world, no matter how many different races there were in China, there were only twelve people who could defeat her!

Tang Wanzhuang said: "This earthquake was caused by a row of terracotta warriors jumping around in the distance ahead..."

Zhao Changhe: “?”

"I don't sense any murderous intent. There is no change in the tomb, and it is not the Sword Emperor's revival." Tang Wanzhuang's tone became relaxed: "The evil spirit in this tomb is not even as strong as the passage outside. The Sword Emperor is still sleeping peacefully. We should not disturb him. We should just leave."

Zhao Changhe asked: "Do we need to find a way to seal this place again?"

Tang Wanzhuang's tone became more relaxed: "I feel that the space here is still disordered. I will see if Wei Yang and his men have found anything at the nodes around us, and then try to use this disorder to hide the space again. If possible, we will restore it to the original state where no one can find it, and the matter will be settled." Sisi asked curiously: "Why are the terracotta warriors jumping around? Don't we need to find out? In fact, we haven't entered the main tomb here, and the guards are only secondary, not too strong."

Tang Wanzhuang glanced at her meaningfully, "They are indeed not very strong. The two human figurines just now were both at the seventh or eighth level of the Profound Gate, but they are much stronger than you. If the row of jumping creatures in front of us are all of this strength or even higher, the fight will be a mess. Our strength is suppressed by the Sword Domain and cannot be fully exerted. Why bother to force a fight?"

Zhao Changhe also felt very uncomfortable about coming in and then leaving inexplicably... But everyone's agenda was indeed to investigate the situation, ensure that there was no change in the mausoleum, and ensure the safety of Gusu. As the leader of the team, Tang Wanzhuang strictly abided by the agenda and never acted rashly, which was the most sober and rational. He had nothing to say and prepared to retreat back to the dog hole.

But at this moment, there was a sense of earth-shaking and the sound of "dong dong dong dong" footsteps was heard. It was the group of sword-wielding terracotta warriors who were jumping on the spot and rushed towards them, as if their fun of dancing was disturbed.

"Retreat quickly!" Zhao Changhe signaled to Sisi behind him: "You go first!"

Sisi was about to crawl back in, but suddenly froze: "That old man is blocking the entrance to the cave! I can't get out!"

Zhao Changhe also frowned. The entrance to the cave was narrow. If someone blocked it from outside, it would be difficult for him to perform, not to mention being suppressed by the sword domain. Only Tang Wanzhuang could break through the entrance quickly, but the human figurines had already arrived!

The originally calm atmosphere suddenly became extremely thrilling!

"Clang!" The Chunshui Sword came out, and all the terracotta warriors in front were swept up in the sword light. Tang Wanzhuang's voice was still calm: "Why bother to put on a show... When I came in, I had already sent a message to Wu Weiyang to move the corpse outside because I was afraid that it would change. There is no corpse outside at all. Instead, you deliberately blocked the entrance of the cave and prevented us from leaving..."

Zhao Changhe: “?”

Sisi's figure suddenly flashed, bypassed the human-shaped sword formation in front, and headed straight inside.

Tang Wanzhuang sighed. She was entangled by the human terracotta sword formation and couldn't stop Sisi for a while.

Zhao Changhe's expression turned very ugly. How could his lightness skill stop Sisi!

These human figurines were actually following Sisi's instructions... In other words, even the "vibration" that was jumping around to attract everyone in was done by Sisi!

Tang Wanzhuang said calmly, "It's a very advanced Miaojiang Gu technique... She sneaked in last night and used some ventilation holes that we didn't understand to put the Gu in and control the terracotta warriors, waiting for this moment."

In the middle of a sentence, a rumbling sound of a mechanism opening could be heard from the distance ahead, and a sound like thunder could be heard from underground: "Who... dared to move His Majesty's sword seal..."

This is the real Sword Emperor's personal guard! A resurrected person with intelligence and the ability to speak, no longer a sword aura, nor a human figurine!

"Swoosh!" Sisi flew back desperately, with a terrifying sword light chasing after her, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Sisi was in mid-air, she lightly touched a terracotta figurine, then turned away.

The sword light caught up to him but paused slightly, revealing an ancient figure who looked intently at the dragon bird on Zhao Changhe's back.

Longque showed a strong desire to fight.

"Swoosh!" The sword light rose again, this time it was aimed at Zhao Changhe. In the eyes of the sword guard, these people were all in the same group, so of course he would kill this disgusting knife first.

Zhao Changhe: "Fuck..."

Sisi took advantage of the situation and turned back to the direction where the sword guard appeared.

Long Que's reaction was also part of her plan, which was to use this opportunity to let Zhao Changhe, Tang Wanzhuang and the sword guard fight together, and she would take the opportunity to get something!

Zhao Changhe's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

But Tang Wanzhuang discovered something quite interesting...

When Sisi led the sword guards over, the human-terracotta sword formation that was originally entangled with Tang Wanzhuang stopped attacking her. Instead, they all turned their swords and attacked the sword guards.

She had clearly planned everything, but she was worried that Jian Wei would really hurt Zhao Changhe.

I don’t know whether I should blame Zhao Changhe for his foolish loyalty and blind trust in the witch, or should I say that Zhao Changhe’s loyalty is actually useful

"Clang!" The Chunshui sword came out and stabbed at the back of the sword guard's head.

Of course Tang Wanzhuang had to rescue Zhao Changhe and had no time to pay attention to the little witch.

Looking at Zhao Changhe who was facing the sword attack at this time, Longque made an extremely strange posture, which was completely inconsistent with his usual swordsmanship.

The sword guard's attack suddenly weakened, and he seemed to be in doubt: "Your Majesty... entry-level swordsmanship? Who are you?"

Tang Wanzhuang remembered what that posture was.

That was the simple sword move used by the sword shadow when Zhao Changhe chopped the sword shadow with his sword!

He actually learned it!

"Ding!" Taking advantage of the sword guard's daze, Tang Wanzhuang's sword energy had already decisively pierced the sword guard's neck, making a crisp sound of metal clashing. Zhao Changhe's deception could only last for a while, and it was impossible to make the sword guard recognize his master with this. The correct solution was to take advantage of this daze and decisively defeat the enemy.

The sword hit the back of the neck, seemingly ineffective, but the sword guard swayed slightly, and the Chunshui sword energy had already invaded his body, greatly reducing his strength.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Changhe's sword moves suddenly changed back to knife moves. He slashed with the knife, collapsing the mountain and aiming straight at the sword guard's forehead.

Tang Wanzhuang was surprised to find that Zhao Changhe, whose strength should have been suppressed by the sword domain, did not show any sign of weakness at all. The ferocity of this sword was even greater than when he chopped off the evil sword!

Does this mean that Zhao Changhe concealed his condition to protect himself from Sisi? But unexpectedly, Sisi didn't want to hurt him...

However, even the knowledgeable Tang Wanzhuang couldn't understand why her strength, which far surpassed Zhao Changhe's, couldn't completely offset the suppression of the sword domain. Her strength was greatly affected. How could Zhao Changhe be completely unaffected
