Chapter 118 - 118 117 Engraving Gloves

118: Chapter 117 Engraving Gloves 118: Chapter 117 Engraving Gloves Lord of Wine gazed at the gloves before him and made a sound of mild surprise.

“Little Xuanzi, this is a good item indeed,” said Lord of Wine, smiling cheerfully.

“This?” Lin Xuan looked carefully and then said, “The runes on it look familiar.

That’s right, Elder Duanmu’s armor and talisman paper had similar symbols!”

Lin Xuan felt the armor on his body and then took out the yellowed talisman paper, silently comparing them.

“This is the Engraving I was telling you about,” Lord of Wine said slowly.

“Although most of its Spiritual nature has been lost over the years, the power that remains is not something ordinary people can withstand.”

“It looks like it can still be used a few times.”

Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up.

He had long wanted to witness the power of the Engravings and immediately couldn’t wait to put it on and try it out.

“Don’t use it here.

Wait until we go outside to test it,” Lord of Wine stopped Lin Xuan’s action.

Lin Xuan put away the Bronze Bracelet, then walked to the corner where a pile of Bai Gu was.

There were some bronze fragments on the ground, but the runes on them were either cracked or annihilated; none were intact.

“Let’s go, these are all ruined,” Lord of Wine sighed.

Lin Xuan got up and waved at a group of little white monkeys: “Thank you, I’m leaving now.”

Chi chi!

Chi chi!

The little monkeys jumped up and down, blocking Lin Xuan, and one of them ran off just like last time.

“Is there something else?” Lin Xuan wondered, pausing his steps.

This time, a little monkey actually brought an egg over, wobbling towards him.

The egg was bluish-white all over, about a foot tall, with no abnormalities on the surface.

“For me?” Lin Xuan asked.

Chi chi!

Chi chi!

Several monkeys nodded vigorously, afraid Lin Xuan wouldn’t accept it.

Lin Xuan carefully took it and placed it into his Storage Ring.

A few monkeys nearby humanly patted their chests, their faces filled with relief.

After checking the area again and finding nothing else, Lin Xuan waved and left.

The group of little monkeys kept chirping non-stop, their eyes revealing a sly glint, seemingly excited.

After leaving Monkey Mountain Cave, Lin Xuan came to a deserted spot, eager to take out the Bronze Bracelet and put it on his hand.

“Channel your Spiritual Power and activate the Engraving in the palm,” Lord of Wine instructed from the side.

Lin Xuan nodded, raised his left hand, and aimed at the mountain range ahead, silently channeling his Spiritual Power.

Blue Spiritual Power surged towards the central Rune.

The next moment, intense energy fluctuations transmitted from his left hand.

Boom—

A blue energy beam shot out, forming a blinding light, roaring and enveloping everything in front.

Gales whirled and debris flew chaotically as if doomsday had arrived.

Lin Xuan grunted, stumbling back a few steps.

His left arm trembled slightly, accompanied by a piercing pain.

When everything had calmed down, Lin Xuan looked up.

Ahead, the area was barren, void of anything.

Even the tall mountain had been pierced through, a pitch-black hole appearing in front, still emitting wisps of white smoke.

“Hiss—”

Lin Xuan drew a sharp breath; the strike had far exceeded his expectations, the power likely surpassing that of a martial artist in the Spirit Sea First Layer Heaven.

However, the side effects were also evident; Lin Xuan’s arm still throbbed painfully.

“Next time, use Spiritual Power to protect your arm, and you should be able to avoid this pain,” Lin Xuan reasoned, rubbing his arm, realizing he had been careless.

“Your body’s strength surpasses that of a Merged Vein Martial Artist, now comparable to a Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artist,” Lord of Wine said.

“An ordinary Merged Vein Martial Artist using this strike might completely cripple their arm.”

“It is indeed a Great Killing Device.” Lin Xuan realized he now had no need to fear Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artists.

Lin Xuan did not plan to stay in the outskirts any longer, considering the limited resources available here.

“Tomorrow morning, we set out for the Blood-colored Forest!”

…

Unlike the forests on the periphery, the Blood-colored Forest had exceptionally tall trees with dense branches and leaves that obscured the sky.

Moreover, the forest was filled with hidden dangers where one could easily lose their life.

In one area, there was a golden giant python guarding a heart-shaped flower, while a young martial artist, armed with a long spear, was battling the python.

This young man was Shangguan Liuyun from Xuantian Sect, standing alone against the golden python without any fear.

“Spear moves like a dragon!” Little Xuanzi’s expression was icy cold, his eyes flashing like lightning, as he shook his spear and thrust it out vigorously.

A three-zhang long Spear Light flickered uncertainly, stirring the winds and clouds, mighty like a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea.

The golden python was large but very agile.

It quickly maneuvered its body to dodge the attack while opening its mouth to shoot out a deep red tongue, fast like a Poison Arrow.

Plop!

Plop!

Plop!

Shangguan Liuyun leaped up, flying four to five zhang away, and where he had been standing, a hole the size of a bowl appeared.

Threads of green liquid clung to it, continuously corroding it until the hole expanded to the size of a water jar and kept on enlarging.

“How fierce the poison is!” Shangguan Liuyun’s pupils contracted, “I have no choice but to use that move!”

“Spear move like a mountain!”

Once he thrust his spear, even the Void seemed to distort, and above in the sky, it felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down, making the Void tremble.

The golden python’s tail whipped fiercely, striking the giant mountain and created a thunderous noise, but it had no effect.

Boom!

A world-shaking sound erupted, and the earth trembled; the golden python’s head shattered and flew sideways.

Huff!

Shangguan Liuyun breathed heavily, his eyes flickering with excitement.

Clap!

Clap!

Crisp applause echoed, followed by hearty laughter, “Splendid, truly splendid!

Who would have thought that a mere Martial Artist from the Mystical Realm could deliver such a breathtaking spear thrust!”

Upon hearing this voice, Shangguan Liuyun shuddered.

He didn’t even notice when the person had approached nearby, which unsettled him.

He turned around and saw a man walking out of the woods, dressed in a long robe, of ordinary appearance, but with a very sharp gaze.

“Alright, you can leave now!” The ordinary youth coldly chuckled, his eyes sweeping over Shangguan Liuyun and directly fixated on the heart-shaped red flower.

Shangguan Liuyun frowned, having gone through great lengths to kill the golden python for the heart-shaped flower, he was not willing to give it up.

Thinking this, he burst forth with Spiritual Power, his spear ready to strike.

“Humph!

Overestimating your capabilities,” the youth coldly snorted, his gaze hardened, and his aura billowed out like a vast ocean, sweeping across the area.

“Spirit Sea Realm!” Shangguan Liuyun’s face immediately turned ugly.

“Now, leave!” The young man swung his sleeve, creating a Gale, forming sharp Wind Blades in the air, striking at Shangguan Liuyun.

Boom!

Boom!

The Wind Blades were too fast; Shangguan Liuyun couldn’t dodge in time.

He struck with his spear, colliding it with the Wind Blades.

Spurt!

The power of Spirit Sea Realm was far beyond what a Merged Vein Martial Artist could withstand.

Shangguan Liuyun kept retreating, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He stared fixedly at the youth ahead, prepared to launch his strongest strike and die together with him.

Sensing his intention, the youth sneered contemptuously, “If you seek death, I shall grant it!”

With that, his palm radiated dazzling light, terrifying power lingering nearby.

Just as Shangguan Liuyun was about to die under the Light Palm, another figure flew out from the dense forest.

A sharp Sword Qi slashed toward the youth, creating a piercing sound in the air.

“To bully my fellow sect member, die!” The voice of the newcomer carried a chilling killing aura.
