Chapter 45: Ancient Artifacts, Severely Injuring Jiang Luoli!

After entering that pitch-black space, Lu Chuan discovered that the scene before his eyes was different from what he had seen from the outside.

He examined the surrounding environment, his heart deeply shocked.

This was a space isolated from the outside world; unknown factors made this place a vast expanse of white, with almost no other colors visible. However, after shifting his gaze, he suddenly saw two stone towers standing quietly in mid-air.

Looking further up, various strange artifacts were suspended at the tops of these two stone towers; for instance, one was a Black Flag, with various rough lines carved upon it.

Because he was some distance away, and due to the peculiar nature of the environment here, Lu Chuan could not yet see the full appearance of the Black Flag.

The other artifact was a weapon, and a rather rare one at that. This object looked somewhat like an ancient mace; it was shaped like a sword overall, but the body of the mace was divided into segments, as if it had been pieced together.

This mace was thick and bladeless, with its front end fashioned into a pyramid shape; it looked incomparably sharp, and in truth, its armor-piercing effect was extremely strong—it absolutely could not be underestimated.

Jiang Luoli hovered in mid-air, staring at the two artifacts in front of her, overjoyed, "In this life, the treasures that appeared in the Qinling Yixiantian shall all belong to me!"

"With their help, my strength will be even greater!"

She still remembered that in her previous life, when the treasures here appeared, it attracted countless experts to fight for them, resulting in a bloody, chaotic slaughter. In the end, these treasures were snatched away by two foreign Beasts, and humanity was left with nothing.

In this life, Jiang Luoli used the advantage of her rebirth to seize the initiative, entering this place just as the treasures were revealed to claim them all.

At this very moment, a sense of "if not me, then who?" suddenly welled up in Jiang Luoli's heart, "Such treasures can only belong to a person of destiny like me!"

While deep in thought, Jiang Luoli arrived first at the side of the Black Flag, which was closer to her.

Now looking closely, she discovered that the Black Flag was shrouded in a layer of transparent energy; when she touched it lightly, complex patterns appeared on this layer of transparent energy.

This was the sealing power on the Black Flag!

"This still can't stump me!"

After a soft snort, Jiang Luoli sat cross-legged and rapidly cast some strange seals with her hands, all of which submerged into that layer of transparent energy.

What she was performing was the seal-breaking technique for the Ancient Seal Restriction!

In her previous life, it was precisely because of these Ancient Seal Restrictions that no one could take these treasures out at first; later, as experts arrived one after another, it led to disputes.

Under Jiang Luoli's manipulation, the energy layer outside the Black Flag grew dimmer and weaker, until finally, it seemed about to disappear.

This made her overjoyed, her heart growing increasingly excited.

Hum—

However, at this very moment, Jiang Luoli's expression changed drastically, and she could not help but raise her head to look around.

Seeing the Blood Seal on her palm light up with an increasingly intense glow, she understood that there was another creature that had broken into this space besides herself, and she could not help but exclaim in suspicion, "It's the Poison King!"

"How did it get here?"

All around, there was still no trace of any creature to be seen, which made Jiang Luoli's heart extremely tense; after all, she could sense that Lu Chuan was constantly approaching, yet she simply could not see him.

After all, Lu Chuan was currently in a state of Invisibility; unless he launched an attack, no one would be able to discover him.

"This woman really did know that there was a fortuitous encounter descending here!"

Relying on the advantage of Invisibility, Lu Chuan saw clearly from the side the various strange postures Jiang Luoli was making, and understanding that this woman was collecting the treasures, a realization dawned upon him.

Although she had already entered his attack range, Lu Chuan did not use Corrosive Venom! Lu Chuan knew clearly in his heart that this woman was a master of poison herself; otherwise, she would not have been able to cultivate a Poison King like himself before the Spiritual Energy Revival!

As his thoughts raced, the Spiritual Qi on Lu Chuan's body suddenly surged rapidly, "Let you witness the power of the Shackle Realm!"

The next second, he opened his massive snake mouth, and immediately a beam of energy light shot out from it, the target very clear! This was an attack method of Spiritual Qi projection that Lu Chuan had mastered after breaking through to the Shackle Realm, and its power was also quite formidable!

"Damn it!"

"Just a little bit more!"

Jiang Luoli knew that there was a second existence here besides herself, but seeing that she was about to break the Ancient Seal Restriction, she did not stop her movements.

But just at this moment, the guy hiding in the dark suddenly launched an attack, which made her curse inwardly.

Seeing the energy beam moving at high speed and about to strike, at the critical moment, Jiang Luoli directly threw out two Gu Insects, which constructed two Light Shields in front of her! Boom—

Amidst the violent collision, the seal on the Black Flag was broken!

With a stir in her heart, Jiang Luoli reached out without hesitation and grabbed the black flagpole, just about to shift away to dodge the attack.

She knew the Gu Insects she had refined very well; the Light Shields they constructed could not withstand that energy beam, and sure enough, they were shattered by Lu Chuan! The energy beam, however, did not dissipate and continued to rush forward!

By this time, Jiang Luoli was already very close to the energy beam; she had never intended to take this energy beam head-on, so she directly used her movement technique to dodge!

Unfortunately, although her movement technique was fast, she was still grazed on the back by the energy beam.

"Pfft—"

Instantly, Jiang Luoli spat out a mouthful of blood, and her aura withered in an instant; she had clearly suffered great damage.

Without a second thought, she hurriedly swallowed a pill to alleviate her injuries, but the blood and Qi within her body were still churning violently due to this attack.

Only after taking several deep breaths did Jiang Luoli feel a bit better.

"Hmph!"

"I don't believe that I, a Shackle Realm Second Stage, cannot kill a guy at the Awakening Realm Late Stage!"

After launching this attack, Lu Chuan's Invisibility wore off, and he was instantly exposed in this space.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially jealous when they meet; furthermore, Lu Chuan was very confident at this moment and did not feel that he could not deal with Jiang Luoli.

The latter was already injured, especially having suffered a massive impact at such close range, so even though she possessed a powerful killing weapon like the Ancient Bow, it was still difficult to use.

Lu Chuan was even less likely to give her the chance to pull the bowstring and condense an energy arrow!

Whoosh, whoosh...

Lu Chuan's body size suddenly grew larger at this moment, and then, without a second thought, he whipped his massive snake tail.

Instantly, a hurricane swept across, aiming at Jiang Luoli's incomparably frail body.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Luoli retreated again and again; she absolutely could not take it head-on, but having forcibly dodged and mobilized too much power, she aggravated the injuries within her body and could not help but spit out another mouthful of blood! (End of chapter)
