Chapter 497: Desert Treasure Hunt (Part 4)

In an instant, Zhang Yuan felt dozens of murderous intents locking onto him simultaneously.

These warrior statues, which were supposed to be inanimate, actually possessed the murderous aura of a Martial Artist, truly incredible.

The killing intent locking onto Zhang Yuan felt like sharp needles assaulting him from all directions, trying to penetrate his will barrier.

Directly into the divine soul!

Not only that, but a dozen great swords whistled through the air, slashing towards his head, throat, chest, abdomen, and limbs...

The attack from the warrior statues actually formed a giant sword web.

Enveloping Zhang Yuan within!

And all these changes happened in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yuan sensed the breath of death.

He genuinely perceived the enormous threat from these statues.

However, at this moment, Zhang Yuan was calmer than ever before.

Thirty times agility!

He didn’t hesitate in the slightest and enhanced the power of the Golden Grasshopper to the highest level he could bear.

In the next moment, the flow of time seemed to slow by dozens of times.

In Zhang Yuan’s vision, the great swords wielded by the warrior statues around him also became sluggish and stiff.

Thus, he saw the path to survival.

In the next moment, Zhang Yuan, like an incredibly agile fish, weaved through the gaps of the giant net covering him.

In an instant, he circled to the back of a statue.

Zhang Yuan abruptly halted his figure and slashed at the back of the statue’s neck.

Ka-chow!

A huge statue head flew up into the sky.

At the same time, the flow of time in Zhang Yuan’s perception returned to normal.

But he had already escaped the perilous situation.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan swung out heavy sword auras, covering all the warrior statues within a ten-step range.

Beheading, waist-cutting, limb-severing...

The Taowu Saber, imbued with ten layers of power, unleashed horrific might in Zhang Yuan’s hands. Despite these warrior statues having extremely sturdy and solid armor, they were still sliced, severed, and cut away, unable to protect their inner shells.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Heads, limbs, and segments plummeted to the ground, shattering into powder!

And although the decapitated statues could still fight, they swung their weapons blindly and aimlessly, not only posing no threat to Zhang Yuan but also injuring their nearby comrades.

The sword array formed by these statues was instantly broken, creating great chaos.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Yuan unleashed his body technique, attacking left and right, slicing down one statue after another into fragments!

With twenty-five times strength enhancement, every slash carried tens of thousands of pounds of force, plus the Profound Soldiers’ prowess, making him unstoppable and invincible.

Although all the warrior statues in the hall were automatically activated and joined the siege against Zhang Yuan,

Zhang Yuan, familiar with their fighting rhythm and tactics and aware of their weaknesses, was able to slice them into pieces with ultra-fast movements and wild, fierce attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhang Yuan, in one breath, continuously destroyed twenty to thirty statues, with his fighting spirit and killing intent reaching their peak.

With a sudden Cross-Sweeping Thousand Soldiers move, the sweeping sword aura cleaved open the bodies of four warrior statues at once!

The view ahead cleared up instantly.

But suddenly, the hair on the back of Zhang Yuan’s neck stood up.

Without thinking, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, he leaped forward, vanishing from the spot instantly.

Bam!

The place where Zhang Yuan stood just a moment ago was heavily struck by a dark gold long halberd weighing over a thousand pounds.

The ground instantly split into countless cracks!

When Zhang Yuan turned around, he immediately saw the ambusher.

It was a War General Statue!

On either side of the palace throne stood two War General Statues, larger than the Warrior Statues.

One of them had activated at some point, seizing the chance to launch a sneak attack on Zhang Yuan!

Zhang Yuan, staring at the new opponent, felt a deep sense of awe.

This War General Statue wielded a dark gold long halberd, and the power unleashed by the previous attack was at least tens of thousands of pounds. If not for Zhang Yuan’s extremely keen senses allowing him to dodge in time,

otherwise, even the Six Harmonies Qilin Body would be unable to withstand it!

And there were still three more of these statues.

Luckily, only one had been activated so far. It pointed the halberd at Zhang Yuan, with two eerie red lights glowing on its helmet visor, like a pair of blood-red eyes just opened.

Sinister, weird, evil, merciless!

Meanwhile, the other warrior statues, as if receiving orders, all retreated to their original standing positions.

They cleared the space for Zhang Yuan and the War General Statue for a duel!

At this time, the War General Statue, holding its long halberd horizontally, made a challenging gesture towards Zhang Yuan.

One-on-one?

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, gripping the Taowu Saber in his hand, pointing it diagonally at the ground, then stepping towards the opponent.

With each step, an invisible vigorous qi vibrated the ground, emitting a low rumble.

Three steps, five steps, ten steps...

The distance between them rapidly dwindled.

The War General Statue suddenly thrust its halberd at Zhang Yuan, its speed incredibly fast.

This thrust was soundless, bringing a dark golden shadow with it, almost piercing Zhang Yuan’s chest in an instant.

But it struck empty.

Because, at the critical moment, Zhang Yuan leapt high into the air, dodging the statue’s surprise attack, while unleashing a slash aimed at the latter’s head.

Clang!

The sword aura fell and was blocked by the horizontally held halberd, instantly striking a dazzling shower of sparks.

The halberd shaft bent down suddenly, then rebounded with great force.

Zhang Yuan, holding the saber, was thrown backwards, spinning three times in the air before landing several steps away.

Once again forming a standoff with the War General Statue!

Truly troublesome.

Zhang Yuan stared at the War General Statue, suppressing a trace of impatience that rose in his heart.

This statue’s strength equaled that of a Tier Six expert; although lacking True Gang Power, its explosive force was incredibly terrifying.

Moreover, the long halberd it wielded was certainly not a Mortal Soldier.

The earlier heavy slash barely left a shallow scar on the halberd shaft.

Its quality rivaled that of most Profound Soldiers!

Although Zhang Yuan hadn’t pushed the enhancement from the Black Giant Ant to its peak, considering there were still three War General Statues yet to activate, deploying his last trump card all at once would be unwise.

Thoughts flashing swiftly, Zhang Yuan charged at the War General Statue again.

At a distance of about ten steps from the opponent, he leapt into the air again, seemingly about to repeat his previous move.

Yet the War General Statue remained unmoving, a mocking light flashing in its blood-red eyes.

In the next moment, it suddenly raised the halberd for a thrust aimed at Zhang Yuan in mid-air.

This turned into Zhang Yuan voluntarily crashing into the halberd’s tip!

However, after reaching the peak of his jump, Zhang Yuan didn’t slash downwards to attack the enemy.

He paused in mid-air, suddenly releasing a massive boulder weighing over a hundred thousand pounds!

Dropping it onto the statue below!
