Chapter 29: Despicable and Shameless

「Tomb guardians?! 」

It's actually tomb guardians!

Tomb guardians were loyal to their tomb master in life, for if the tomb master passes, they willingly refine themselves to continue guarding the tomb master.

There are exactly six tomb guardians before us, and one of them has actually reached the initial Spirit Transformation Realm!

At this moment, Yan Haonan said: "Tomb guardians usually hide the tomb master's secret treasure key..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts heated up, but seeing these six incredibly powerful tomb guardians, that enthusiasm was instantly doused.

Not to mention them, even Ying Wuji might not be able to defeat these tomb guardians!

"What cultivation realm exactly is Ying Wuji at?!" someone exclaimed.

Although Ying Wuji is currently at a disadvantage, he can still trade blows with those six tomb guardians, showing his strength must be more than just Nascent Soul Realm!

Yuan Yao frowned, looking worried as she asked: "Can the youngest senior brother hold on?"

Song Yan and Cang Li exchanged a glance, then told Yuan Yao: "Yao Yao, stay here; we'll go help."

"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Song Yan added.

Yuan Yao objected: "I have a life-saving talisman from my master; I can go help too."

Song Yan spoke gently: "We know, but the eldest senior brother doesn't want you to get hurt." Even with the life-saving talisman preserving your life, the junior sister would still suffer serious injury.

He does not want this trial to leave an indelible shadow on the junior sister.

But...

Cang Li interrupted her: "Yuan Yao, wait until we're about to die, then come save us."

As soon as his words fell, Yuan Yao lifted her foot and stomped hard on him.

Cang Li cried out in pain.

"Eldest senior brother, I also want to help." Lu Xiangxiang felt a stir, stepped forward, and said with a determined expression.

Hearing that, Yuan Yao immediately became alert.

She could see that Lu Xiangxiang was not being insincere this time, but genuinely wanted to go.

She naturally could not let Lu Xiangxiang go.

"Junior sister Lu, stay here with me." Yuan Yao reached out and grabbed Lu Xiangxiang's hand.

Lu Xiangxiang frowned slightly, trying to break free from Yuan Yao's hand, but couldn't.

"That's right!" Seeing this, Cang Li let out a sigh of relief.

Having said that, he and Song Yan exchanged a knowing glance, then left the passage, rushing toward Ying Wuji and the tomb guardians.

Lu Xiangxiang watched their retreating backs, a cold smile forming in her heart.

Also good.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; she just waits to reap the fisherman's gain.

In her previous life, Song Yan and the others entered the Wuduan Mijing; aside from Cang Li contracting a black dragon, everyone else gained nothing and suffered heavy losses.

It is rumored that the six great secret treasures of Immortal Venerable Nie Lie were all seized by a mysterious person.

Lu Xiangxiang couldn't help but think of that legendary saint-level sword manual, her chest warming slightly.

Because that saint-level sword manual is also one of the things her man has long dreamed of obtaining.

This time she is determined to seize the saint-level sword manual and give it to her man.

Yuan Yao keenly sensed the subtle shifts in Lu Xiangxiang's emotions—sometimes cold, sometimes excited, sometimes a little shy.

Yuan Yao: "..." What on earth is she thinking?

Boom—

A booming explosion sounded from afar.

Yuan Yao's heart involuntarily clenched; she looked up and saw her three senior brothers battling the six tomb guardians.

The eldest and third senior brothers are only at the initial Golden Core Realm, and having been wounded earlier, they have not yet recovered to their peak; merely fending off the tomb guardians' attacks is already extremely difficult.

At this moment, Weng Mingshu had squeezed up beside her, earnestly saying: "Yuan Yao, quickly have your senior brothers come over! They can't defeat the tomb guardians!"

Yuan Yao heard this but remained silent.

She knew the youngest senior brother did not want to retreat, and the eldest and third senior brothers were accompanying him.

The youngest senior brother always liked challenging opponents stronger than himself.

Sometimes she felt the youngest senior brother was a stubborn mule, refusing to give up until his goal was met.

Upon hearing Weng Mingshu's words, Lu Xiangxiang couldn't help but look at Yuan Yao, her eyes filled with scrutiny and assessment.

If she were Yuan Yao, she would have Song Yan and the others retreat immediately.

"They won't listen to me." Yuan Yao took a deep breath, lowered her gaze, and gradually loosened her grip on Lu Xiangxiang's hand.

Weng Mingshu saw Yuan Yao so despondent, and a feeling of pity welled up in her heart. She had wanted to comfort her with a few words, telling Yuan Yao not to worry too much, but just as she was about to speak——

"Ahhh I won't listen to them either!"

Yuan Yao shouted loudly, and before Weng Mingshu and the others could react, she rushed to the battlefield like a gust of wind.

Weng Mingshu was stunned again, her jaw nearly dropping.

Lu Xiangxiang also froze.

"Sword, come!"

The moment her words fell, a five-colored radiance suddenly flashed in her right hand; she curled her fingers and tightly gripped the sword hilt.

"Great Sun Burning Heaven Mirror—"

"Go!"

Yuan Yao flung out an ancient mirror with her left hand; the Great Sun Burning Heaven Mirror spun rapidly in the air, emitting a humming sound.

In an instant, the bronze mirror swelled to enormous size in midair, like a blazing sun, radiating scorching light and a powerful aura.

Ying Wuji and the three of them sensed her presence, and their hearts inexplicably felt a block.

It's as if their little junior sister had entered her rebellious phase—difficult to manage, making people uneasy.

"Youngest Senior Brother, give me a dry corpse!" Yuan Yao said.

Ying Wuji heard the words, his brow imperceptibly furrowed, and he immediately swung his long sword, forcing a grave-guarding corpse out violently.

Just at that moment—

He hastily retreated!

The true sun fire within the Great Sun Burning Heaven Mirror poured out in an instant, violently falling onto that grave-guarding corpse.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the true sun fire ignited on the grave-guarding corpse.

The grave-guarding corpse felt nothing, yet it sensed Yuan Yao's presence, flickered, and attacked her.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao's face startled, she turned and fled swiftly.

Yuan Yao ran extremely fast.

The grave-guarding corpse chased after Yuan Yao.

And the Great Sun Burning Heaven Mirror pursued the grave-guarding corpse.

Everyone saw this scene: "???"

Earlier, Yuan Yao, fearing she wouldn't be fast enough, had also put on a high-grade magical device on her ankle that increased her movement speed.

Cang Li saw Song Yan distracted and almost killed by the grave-guarding corpse, and immediately said: "Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry about her; she has a life-saving talisman from our master, she won't die!"

Song Yan withdrew his gaze, responded solemnly, and began to focus on dealing with the grave-guarding corpse before him.

Cang Li ordered the black dragon to deal with one of the grave-guarding corpses.

The black dragon was originally unwilling, but Cang Li sighed repeatedly and said to it: "If you're unwilling, then I'll just have to die for you to see."

The black dragon fumed: "Humans, you are despicable and shameless!"

He died, I must also die!

The black dragon hated it so much its teeth itched, but it had no choice but to comply.

Song Yan and Cang Li joined forces to deal with a grave-guarding corpse.

As for Ying Wuji, he single-handedly faced three grave-guarding corpses.
