Chapter 218   Good Fellow

As Lu Wuchang retreated, he struck again with a dry laugh. Boom!

Boom! A palm imprint condensed and intercepted the attacker from a distance. The target was the joints of the Bronze Guard’s legs.

However–

Swish! Swish!

The saber in the bronze guard’s hand slashed upwards. As it stirred up two gales, it easily shattered the palm imprint.

Hu! Hu! Saber winds raged, the saber energy was full of power.

The Bronze Guard’s seemingly stiff body was agile and strong as it moved.

After approaching Lu Wuchang, it used his tough armor to withstand the attacks that descended on it The bronze saber in its hand slashed at Lu Wuchang, forcing him to retreat continuously.

Lu Wuchang had no time to waste on nonsense. Embarrassed, he stared at the bronze guard.

A pair of fleshy palms with true energy circulating was comparable to a treasure weapon as it landed multiple strikes on the Bronze Guard’s shell.

The level of cultivation he mobilized increased with each circulation.

The Bronze Guard occasionally retreated, but soon pounced over again and continued engaging Lu Wuchang.

Even a third-grade martial artist like Lu Wuchang was unable to quickly finish off a Bronze Guard.

The circumstances of the fourth-grade ones could be imagined.

Usually, only the joint efforts of two or three people could contend against one Bronze Guard.

Even so, they would still get wounded by the Bronze Guards from time to time and vomit blood.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

With dull thuds, five more Bronze Guard walked out from the dark corners.

In less than three seconds.

Dong, dong, dong! Another ten Bronze Guards walked out from the corners.

With this, Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and the others had no choice but to take action.

There were too many Bronze Guards.

Everyone who entered the underground palace started fighting.

A third-grade martial artist alone could handle a Bronze Guard.

Fourth-grade and fifth-grade martial artists worked together to fend off one.

If these Bronze Guard had souls, those few third-grade martial artists could activate their Martial Art True Intents and take care of most of them through suppression. Unfortunately, as mechanical beings, not only were the Bronze Guards soulless, their shells were terrifyingly tough. They were immune to hot, ice-cold, thick and heavy, soft and gentle, Yin, and other attributes of true energy.

To put it bluntly, to defeat the Bronze Guards, one could only rely on brute force or profound cultivation.

Su Jingxing possessed both. However, he did not let himself appear too outstanding. Swish! Swish! Swish!

His figure flashed as he moved around a Bronze Guard.

As his true energy spiraled, Su Jingxing clenched his fists and hammered the Bronze Guard’s joints.

First, he destroyed his feet, then his hands, and finally his head, revealing the array patterns that were filled with lines and the structure of the mechanisms.

The core component was a special metal piece.

After the Bronze Guard collapsed, this metal piece immediately burned and turned into dust.

Su Jingxing didn’t even have a chance to study

it.

He could only flash and pounce towards the second Bronze Guard.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom–

Almost half an hour later, all the Bronze Guard had either fallen apart or had their limbs broken, unable to move.

The battle ended.

Su Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, and the others were fine. At most, they had expended some true energy.

As for the other fourth-grade and fifth-grade martial artists, their conditions were much more serious.

Although not everyone was injured, hot air rose from them and sweat flowed.

Yan Yuanfeng and Zhao Zhongyi, who Su Jingxing was familiar with, even had their arms broken. They leaned against the stone pillars and panted heavily.

They were only on the first level of the underground palace, and they hadn’t even seen the legacy, yet more than half of the team had been crippled.

They were usually powerful fourth-grade martial artists who could rule an area outside, yet they could not withstand a single wave of attacks here.

Most of the Bronze Guards were handled by Su Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, Pu Mingyue, and a few other third-grade martial artists.

Without third-grade martial artists…

Shaking his head, Su Jingxing followed Pu Mingyue, Lu Wuchang, Gu Zhanlin, and the others deeper in. This underground palace extended downwards.

No one knew the exact levels it had. The main hall where the Bronze Guard were was only the center of the first level.

Su Jingxing and the others passed through the hall and found the entrance to the second level.

Not long after, they arrived at the center hall of the second level.

“Ugh!”

Li Linzhou, Wang Tiedao, Han Zong, Li Chunzhen, and a few other fourth-grade martial artists who were about to enter the hall suddenly stiffened and froze on the spot.

Su Jingxing, who had just entered the door, also felt a strong pressure suddenly land on his shoulders, as if he was carrying a mountain.

Swish!

Lu Wuchang immediately activated his Martial Art True Intent, a Landscape Folding Fan to resist the terrifying pressure. “Good fellow, it’s actually a Soul Suppressing Stone!”

He “held” the glowing fan and walked step by step to the center of the hall. He looked up at the oval-shaped brown stone plate mounted on the dome of the hall and exclaimed.

“It is indeed the Soul Suppressing Stone.”

A bright-colored lotus flower circled beneath Pu Mingyue’s feet as she slowly walked over. “Hmph!” Bu Qing sneered coldly. The Reverse Light Spear behind him shot out rays of reflected light towards the dome.

“This Soul Suppressing Stone is also a rare treasure. Who wants it?”

Gu Zhanlin asked with a smile with a gray leopard beside him. “Does Commander Gu want it? The Soul Suppressing Stone is a rare item. How about we let you have it?”

Lu Wuchang “fanned” himself and joked.

At the same time, he noticed Su Jingxing, who had the Sishui Horned Dragons wrapped around him, from the corner of his eye. He raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, “This friend’s Martial Art True Intent is very familiar? If I’m not wrong, this is the Sishui Horned Dragon, right?”

“It’s said that the Martial Art True Intent of the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong, who caused quite a stir in Qinghe City years ago, was also the Sishui Horned Dragon.”

“And then?” asked Su Jingxing in a low voice.

He had restrained his aura, and his cloak and mask were brand new.

Within a short period, Lu Wuchang wouldn’t be able to tell that Su Jingxing was the owner of the third stone tablet who traded with him.

“Um…”

Faced with Su Jingxing’s question, Lu Wuchang was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he looked at Gu Zhanlin, Bu Qing, and the others.

To his surprise, no one bothered with him. Bu Qing directly walked to the back of the hall and searched for the entrance to the third level.

“Don’t look at me. Although the Soul Suppressing Stone is not bad, it will take a lot of effort to remove it since Yue Dongliu put it here. I’ll pass. If Marshal Lu likes it, you can take it.” Gu Zhanlin raised an eyebrow at Lu Wuchang and walked towards the back of the hall.

“I…”

“You can stay here and take it down slowly.”

Pu Mingyue said coolly, “Brother Li, let’s go.”

With that, she followed Gu Zhanlin.

Su Jingxing nodded and followed behind slowly.

Lu Wuchang was left behind, his face flushed. He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath before catching up. He didn’t believe that Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and the others couldn’t tell what he meant.

Su Jingxing had obtained the treasure of the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong! He even inherited his Martial Art True Intent, Sishui Horned Dragon.

In that case, it wasn’t that Lu Wuchang had something against Su Jingxing and wanted to provoke Gu Zhanlin and the others.

He was just surprised and had never thought of creating conflict.

Of course, it would be best if Gu Zhanlin and the others could stop Su Jingxing!
