He looked at this young man with a face full of admiration.
Yet, these young people have already demonstrated extraordinary abilities.
My opinion of him immediately rose to a whole new level.
Among them, Gongsun Xiu is the most talented and capable member of the family, and also the hope for the future.
Standing at the front of the crowd, his eyes shone with unprecedented admiration:
"This level of strength... is simply terrifying."
They are beings beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists like us!
Chapter 147 Mysterious Mummified Corpse!
After dealing with the terrifying zombies, the group breathed a sigh of relief and continued deeper into the ancient tomb.
Each step felt exceptionally heavy, as if carrying some invisible pressure.
As they went deeper, the tomb passage became increasingly narrow, with cold, damp stone walls on both sides.
It is covered with strange and intricate symbols and patterns, exuding a mysterious aura that sends chills down your spine.
These symbols appear to be some kind of ancient script, telling a distant story that inspires awe.
It seems that this underground tomb has existed for quite some time.
Just as everyone was immersed in a mixture of curiosity and fear about the unknown,
A tall stone gate suddenly appeared not far ahead, blocking their way.
This stone gate is not only enormous in size, but also exquisitely crafted, making it truly breathtaking.
The most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the two gemstones, which emit a faint blue light, set in its surface.
Like two gleaming eyes in the darkness,
Gazing at this group of uninvited guests, one seems to be able to see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xiu stepped forward first and examined it carefully:
"Look everyone, this stone door clearly holds a secret."
If we open it rashly, we might encounter some unexpected dangers.
Her words carried a hint of caution, reminding everyone not to be careless.
However, in Wei Changxuan's view, all of this was just a piece of cake.
He walked confidently to the stone gate, his eyes quickly scanning every detail.
A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"The mechanism is indeed ingeniously designed, but it's not too difficult for me to solve."
After saying that, he reached out and gently touched the stone door, then closed his eyes and focused intently.
Feel the spiritual energy fluctuations contained within.
A faint scent of spiritual energy filled the air, causing everyone to feel a strange unease.
A moment later, when Wei Changxuan suddenly opened his eyes,
A bright, lightning-like glint flashed in his eyes.
He then quickly began forming hand seals and casting spells, pouring his immense spiritual power into the stone gate.
As he moved, the two gems on the stone gate, which had been faintly glowing, gradually brightened.
In the end, it illuminated the entire space like two bright moons.
Finally, after a slight tremor, the stone gate, which had been dormant for thousands of years, slowly opened.
A path leading to the inner room was revealed.
As the stone gate was pushed open, a sense of antiquity wafted out, carrying a profound feeling of historical weight.
Carefully stepping behind the stone door, the group discovered an extremely spacious and magnificent tomb chamber inside.
In the center of the room stood a huge stone coffin, surrounded by scattered decaying weapons and armor.
What attracted their attention most was the enormous stone coffin placed in the very center.
Seeing all this, Gongsun Xiu said in a calm but respectful tone:
"It seems that the true occupant of this tomb must be inside this stone coffin."
Just as everyone was preparing to approach the sarcophagus for further exploration,
Suddenly, the stone coffin began to tremble violently, and then wisps of black mist poured out from the cracks.
It quickly filled the entire room.
At the same time, Wei Changxuan keenly sensed an extremely dangerous signal, and he immediately shouted:
"Watch out!" His spiritual energy erupted instantly.
It forms an incredibly strong, transparent shield that surrounds everyone, protecting them from external harm.
The black mist kept trying to break through the barrier, making a hissing sound, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.
At this moment, the old Taoist Qinggu spoke solemnly:
"In my opinion, this black mist is no ordinary thing; it contains a powerful force of resentment."
This suggests that the tomb's occupant was likely no ordinary person.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan responded with a cold snort.
"No matter where you come from, since you've already been disturbed here, don't even think about causing any more trouble."
Then, without hesitation, he stepped forward and brandished the Blood Shadow Blade in his hand.
He slashed fiercely at the expanding mass of black mist.
The air seemed to be torn apart wherever the sword tip passed, producing a deafening whistling sound.
The black mist was immediately torn open, leaving a clearly visible gash.
Perhaps provoked, the lid of the previously quiet stone coffin suddenly flew off on its own.
Immediately afterward, a figure dressed in a black robe darted out like lightning, heading straight for Wei Changxuan.
As it drew nearer, everyone finally saw its true form—it was a humanoid creature with a ferocious face and hands as sharp as eagle claws.
His entire body exuded an extremely sinister aura...
Chapter 148 Seizing the Desiccated Corpse's Luck!
"Well done!" Wei Changxuan was fearless, brandishing his longsword and fighting the shadowy figure.
The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, its claws relentlessly slashing at Wei Changxuan, each attack accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
But Wei Changxuan was agile and his swordsmanship was fierce, and he easily neutralized the attacks of the shadowy figure.
The two exchanged blows, and the battle was extremely fierce.
The sounds of clashing weapons and bursts of spiritual energy echoed continuously from the tomb.
The members of the Gongsun family watched nervously from the sidelines.
They couldn't get involved at all and could only secretly worry for Wei Changxuan.
As the battle continued, Wei Changxuan gradually figured out the shadowy figure's attack patterns.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly changed his sword technique, making his swordplay even more unpredictable and erratic.
He turned around, and his long sword, like a dragon emerging from the sea, pierced straight into the chest of the dark figure.
The shadowy figure couldn't dodge in time and was pierced by the longsword, letting out a scream.
But the shadowy figure did not fall; it struggled to attack again.
Seeing this, Wei Changxuan snorted coldly, "You're courting death."
He gripped the sword hilt with both hands, channeled all his spiritual energy, and slashed down with a mighty blow.
A massive sword aura of spiritual energy slashed towards the dark figure.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was torn apart.
The shadowy figure was powerless to resist and was instantly engulfed by the sword energy, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating into the air.
Just then, a stream of pure energy surged out from the mummified black shadow and entered Wei Changxuan's body directly.
Swish!
The influx of this energy also comprehensively improved Wei Changxuan's physical condition.
"We gained a surge of good fortune right from the start, which made the subsequent operations much smoother!"
Thinking of this, Wei Changxuan felt happy.
After dealing with the shadowy figure, Wei Changxuan sheathed his sword, breathing heavily.
Although he had the upper hand in the battle, he also consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.
The members of the Gongsun family gathered around him, casting admiring glances at him.
"Young Master Wei, you are amazing! If it weren't for you, we would have been in grave danger today."
Gongsun Xiangming said excitedly.
Wei Changxuan waved his hand and said:
“It’s alright. Most of the secrets in this tomb have already been revealed. Let’s look around again and see if there are any other discoveries.”
After a thorough search of the tomb, the group finally discovered a hidden compartment in a corner.
Inside the hidden compartment lay an antique book and a jade pendant that radiated light.
Wei Changxuan stepped forward, picked up the book and the jade pendant, and began to examine them carefully.
"This book seems to record a lost martial arts technique,"
"And this jade pendant, I vaguely sense that it contains a mysterious power," Wei Changxuan said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gongsun Xiu's eyes: "Young Master Wei, this is a rare treasure!"
