Chapter 93

"Yes!"

Chen Mu responded in his heart and picked up the card.

He reached into his pocket and touched the card to check it.

Martial Arts Card!

He had obtained another Martial Arts Card.

'Who died?'

Chen Mu was curious.

The probability of obtaining a Martial Arts Card was too low; the corpse picked up must have been at least a Martial Arts Master in their lifetime, familiar with dozens of martial arts, and capable of creating their own.

People who met this condition...

'Lin Hun?'

Chen Mu pondered, his expression remaining unchanged, listening to the movements in the cave from a distance.

At the same time, inside the cave.

In a cave with a dome over ten zhang high and a radius of only ten zhang.

Huang Keqin, Fang Yuanfu, Fang Yuanzuo, Wei Dongliang, Di Chunlei, and others were moving rapidly, dodging invisible killers.

In the center of this not-so-large cave was a water pool.

Above the pool, a square stone slab, over three meters long and wide, was suspended in mid-air.

A skeleton sat cross-legged on the stone slab.

The skeleton was entirely silver-white, and its outer perimeter was shrouded in a light curtain composed of "Heaven River Sword Qi."

From the deep green water pool, invisible strange beasts crawled out from time to time.

These strange beasts were extremely fast, smelling human scent, and attacked Huang Keqin, Sun Jindong, and others fiercely.

Lin Hun, who entered first, was killed.

His entire body was bitten in half, his upper torso and head exploded, red and white matter splashing everywhere.

"What kind of strange beast is this?"

Shi Kuangsheng’s figure flickered, his long sword bringing up a sheet of sword light, "Swish," cutting and slashing out.

Shoo!

Sword qi whistled out, slashing into the air and plowing a trench in the ground.

The rapidly pouncing strange beast didn’t get hit at all.

Its invisible body didn’t leak a trace of aura; because it came up from the water pool, it would leave water marks on the ground at first, but after running two laps, the water stains were gone, and there were no footprints either.

"Bang!"

Wei Dongliang struck out with a palm, hitting straight ahead.

The dark gold palm imprint hit a strange beast, emitting a dull sound while breaking the beast’s invisibility, revealing its body as it flew backward and smashed into the wall, creating a shallow pit.

The strange beast slid to the ground. Everyone looked toward the sound, only to see a ferocious strange beast with a body resembling a crocodile, but with a very short tail and sharp fangs exposed at the corners of its mouth, about two meters long, covered in fish-like scales.

Wei Dongliang’s palm had knocked the strange beast into the corner of the wall, where it stopped moving, only its limbs twitching.

"Shoo!"

Shi Kuangsheng waved his sword, slashing out a sword light from a distance, "Puchi," cutting off the head of this revealed strange beast.

[Corpse discovered, do you want to pick it up?]

"Yes!"

Outside the cave, Chen Mu picked up another card from a distance.

Then, he reached into his pocket and touched the card to check it.

Invisibility Card!

A new card!

As the name suggests, using an Invisibility Card allows one to enter an invisible state.

This invisibility includes not only the physical body but also clothing, as well as aura, breathing, and heartbeat.

Everything within a one-foot range of the body surface can become invisible.

The duration is ten minutes.

'Ten minutes of invisibility, hiding everything, very good!'

Chen Mu’s mouth curled up slightly.

[Corpse discovered, do you want to pick it up?]

"Yes!"

Card obtained, touched to check.

Another Invisibility Card!

'Two of them!'

'These invisible strange beasts seem to have average strength.'

Chen Mu pondered to himself.

But for him, it was a good thing.

An Invisibility Card can only be used once, for ten minutes each time.

Picking up a few more means he can be invisible multiple times.

[Corpse discovered, do you want to pick it up?]

"Yes!"

Another one...

Uh, no, this time it’s a True Qi Card, three months of true qi.

In the cave.

"Ah~!"

Accompanied by a scream, one of Fang Yuanfu’s men had his neck bitten by a strange beast, and with a crack, his head was bitten off.

"Kill these beasts first!"

Shi Kuangsheng shouted in a low voice, "If these beasts don’t die, no one can get close to the Heaven River Sword Venerable on the stone slab."

"..."

No one responded, but they tacitly began to slaughter the invisible strange beasts.

Although the strange beasts were invisible, fast, and didn’t leak a trace of aura.

But the space was limited, and there were several late-stage Innate experts who had entered the cave, plus Wei Dongliang of the Earth Altar Realm.

By holding their breath and focusing, carefully sensing the subtle airflow, they could still lock onto the fast-moving invisible strange beasts and kill them.

"Bang~"

"Swish!"

"Boom~!"

Dull sounds, collision sounds, and tearing sounds rang out from time to time.

Three more people were rammed or bitten to death by the invisible strange beasts along the way.

A quarter of an hour later, the battle stopped.

No more invisible strange beasts crawled out of the water pool, and seven strange beast corpses lay on the ground around them.

"Damn it, almost got tricked."

Di Chunlei cursed, withdrew his fist, kicked the corpse of the nearest invisible strange beast, and frowned, "What do these things eat? This cave has been sealed for over two hundred years, how did they survive?"

"There should be an underground river beneath the water pool," Zhao Fuzhou replied, "The Heaven River Sword Venerable diverted the underground river water into this cave. And above the water pool, he set up a small floating restriction."

"This restriction is probably not easy to break," Huang Keqin frowned.

"The restriction is composed of 'Heaven River Sword Qi,' and it also connects to the water vapor below. To break it, one must first cut off the replenishment of the water vapor," Fang Yuanfu agreed.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s do it."

Fang Yuanzuo shouted in a low voice. As his voice fell, violent true qi surged, and he smashed out a punch.

Whoosh boom~

The fist imprint pierced the air and impacted beneath the square stone slab.

"Bang!"

A dull, strange sound.

The stone slab didn’t move at all, and the silver-white skeleton on it didn’t tremble either.

Only the water pool exploded, and a large amount of water splashed everywhere.

"Don’t attack randomly."

Di Chunlei glanced at Fang Yuanzuo and said unhappily, "How could the restriction set by the Heaven River Sword Venerable be so easily broken? Cutting off the water vapor doesn’t mean destroying the pool, and certainly not attacking randomly, but diverting the water vapor away."

"Right, trying to break it by force is probably very difficult," Shi Kuangsheng frowned, "It seems we must all attack together, at least half of us attacking at the same time, using true qi to isolate the water vapor beneath the stone slab."

"Can do."

Huang Keqin said calmly, "You guys, go to the edge of the water pool and use true qi to isolate the water vapor."

Huang Keqin waved his hand at his men.

"You guys go over and divert the water vapor too," Shi Kuangsheng waved his hand at his men.

Seeing this, Fang Yuanfu raised his hand toward his men.

Wei Dongliang did the same, giving a wink to Sun Jindong and the others.

Immediately, more than a dozen people stepped forward and arrived at the edge of the water pool.

"Drink!"

Amidst their shouts, these people circulated their true qi externally, first dispersing the water vapor on the pool, then using true qi to block the subsequent replenishment of water vapor, connecting to the stone slab above.

In less than two minutes, the light curtain on the stone slab dimmed a bit.

"Take advantage of this, attack together!"

Shi Kuangsheng shouted.

Shoo!

Swish~

Boom!

Sword qi, blade light, and fist imprints swarmed toward the stone slab in an instant.

"Bang~!"
