Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Second Floor of the Tomb_1

The amulet on Lin Chuxue was shattered by the stroke of a Golden Holy Door member, and after falling to the ground, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning pale.

Even as a cultivator facing a high-ranking Great Grandmaster, Lin Chuxue was powerless to resist.

Just like Su Chengyu’s previous encounter with the grandmaster of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, the absolute disparity in realm was an unbridgeable chasm.

Despite her grave injuries, Lin Chuxue rolled on the spot. As an attack from the Golden Holy Door member followed, a fist roared onto the spot where she had just landed. If her reaction had been a bit slower, she would certainly have been killed by that punch.

Lin Chuxue’s inner qi and blood were in turmoil, numerous meridians being disrupted by the Great Grandmaster’s mana, a force not to be underestimated.

The member of the Golden Holy Door grimaced, transfigured into a bloodthirsty monster and a killing machine, charging at Lin Chuxue once again.

Having used up all her fire talismans, Lin Chuxue had run out of countermeasures. She could only forcefully activate her mana to dodge the attacks but was once again hit by the Golden Holy Door member.

Whoosh!

Lin Chuxue sputtered out a mouthful of fresh blood. Critically wounded, she leaned against the tomb tunnel wall, her body withered and weak.

"Am I going to die?"

With a face full of despair, Lin Chuxue struggled to stand up in vain. She helplessly watched the beast-like member of the Golden Holy Door, his fists pulsing with mana, advancing step by step.

If he were to smash down with that fist again, Lin Chuxue would certainly be killed. Her fingers trembled slightly, resigned to death, helpless to resist, she closed her eyes in despair.

"ChengYu! If there is a next life, I hope we can meet again."

Lin Chuxue gritted her teeth and shivered all over. The image of Su Chengyu appeared in her mind. Her biggest regret was leaving him behind.

The pain of being unable to be with the one she loved, only separated by life and death, was the harshest torment.

Whoosh!

The fist of the Golden Holy Door member did not fall. Instead, his body collapsed next to Lin Chuxue with an azure-blue sword sticking out from his back.

"Chu Xue!"

Su Chengyu was rushing towards her. Lin Chuxue heard Su Chengyu’s voice, and opened her eyes in surprise and joy.

"ChengYu!"

Su Chengyu lifted Lin Chuxue into his arms, immediately infused mana into her, and gave her an elixir to heal her injuries. Feeling Su Chengyu’s solid arm and being against his chest, Lin Chuxue felt she was still alive. More than that, she felt warmth and safety.

This man, he always appeared at the most dangerous moments to save her!

In Lin Chuxue’s eyes, the so-called world’s heroes and prince charmings were no more than this!

Her eyes welled up with tears, filled with both the joy of escaping from death and profound love and attachment.

"It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Su Chengyu comforted Lin Chuxue. Thankfully he arrived on time, else Lin Chuxue would have been killed by the Golden Holy Door member.

"I’m sorry for always dragging you down. I should not have come with you to the tomb, nor should I have come to Suifeng. I should have stayed at home and cultivated properly."

Lin Chuxue blamed herself.

"It’s alright, don’t talk like that. Accompaniment is the longest confession and being together is the warmest promise. You being by my side and experiencing life and death with me is my greatest happiness."

Su Chengyu knew that at this time, he should say some sentimental words to comfort Lin Chuxue and dispel her feelings of guilt and self-reproach.

Otherwise, these feelings of self-reproach could affect Lin Chuxue’s Dao heart, and when facing the calamity of Foundation Establishment, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the heavenly tribulation.

At this point, the other three Golden Holy Door members arrived. Seeing the sword in Su Chengyu’s hand piercing their brother’s back, they were furious.

"How dare you, Su! You kill our Golden Holy Door’s people. You’re courting death!"

Su Chengyu calmly replied: "So what if I did kill him? He hurt my woman, of course, I had to kill him."

"How dare you! You think I won’t dare to harm you?" Ou Guangyu was utterly furious, murderous intentions glaring in his eyes.

Su Chengyu lifted an eyelid contemptuously: "It’s not a matter of you daring, but rather you truly dare not harm me. The perils of the first chamber, you’ve all witnessed. Without me figuring out the arrays, all of you would die here."

Mr. Han stood in front of the angered Ou Guangyu, shook his head at him, and whispered, "We can’t touch him now."

Ou Guangyu snorted coldly. Mr. Han walked over, took a look at their fellow disciple, and promptly frowned: "What happened?"

"He was poisoned, lost his sanity, and started killing on sight! Your two other disciples were also poisoned and killed each other. I killed one, and the other one died at the hands of your own people."

After pulling out the Dragon Slayer Sword, Su Chengyu replied nonchalantly.

Mr. Han squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that those who went crazy and killed each other earlier were also poisoned. Mr. Su, our apologies for misunderstanding you earlier. We’re in your debt this time. If not for you, we would have been in big trouble. Now that the array of the first chamber is broken, we should go to the second chamber as soon as possible, find that coffin and treasures, and leave this dangerous ancient tomb."

Although Mr. Han expressed his gratitude to Su Chengyu verbally, his intention of killing and seizing Lin Chuxue’s and Yu Yanshu’s possessions remained unswayed.

However, he didn’t dare to do anything to Su Chengyu at this point. The bewildering formation and the maze of the first chamber had already cost them three elite Grandmasters.

Mr. Han also realized the danger of the ancient tomb. Even at the Martial Marquis realm, it was a bit difficult to deal with. Su Chengyu was still of great use.

Lin Chuxue’s injuries stabilized, and she was out of imminent danger. Su Chengyu continued to lead the way, finding a stone door located in the southeast corner of the maze. After opening the door, a long passage was revealed with stone statues standing on both sides.

These stone statues, clad in armor and holding spears, stood like soldiers on guard, lifelike and awe-inspiring.

Another member of the Golden Holy Door hurled a bell into the passage.

"There’s no need to test it, there are no traps here." Su Chengyu walked directly into the passage.

Yu Yanshu and Lin Chuxue followed closely. The man from the Golden Holy Door was confused and asked, "Mr. Han, how does he know there are no traps here?"

"Traps and hidden weapons are common in regular tombs, but the first chamber of this tomb was already this dangerous. How would people who’ve broken through the first chamber worry about traps and hidden weapons? Use your brain, don’t make a fool of yourself." Mr. Han criticized, following Su Chengyu and others into the passage, which should lead to the second level of the tomb chamber.

Once they can get through this chamber, they’ll be able to enter the third layer where the burial coffin surely lies, along with accompanying treasures. All the gold, silver, and precious utensils will be stored on the third floor.

Exiting the passage, before them was a deep trench with three bridges constructed over the gorge.

A gust of chilly wind swept by, the cries and howls echoing in their ears once again. These sounds were clearer than before, as if those horrifying screams were right beside them, making their hair stand on end!
