Chapter 913: Chapter 923: Falling into the Trap! (Second Update)

"It’s very simple—feed it to him!" Tang Zhong said.

Upon hearing this, Azure Dragon’s expression shifted slightly. How could this even be fed? It seemed utterly impossible!

"Tell me what to do, and I’ll help you!" Azure Dragon replied.

"It’s very simple. Just stand by and watch!" Tang Zhong murmured.

"You... be careful!" Tang Zhong said.

At this moment, the stone figure Xu Fu was already in a state of madness, wielding his Stone Sword and relentlessly slashing forward.

Sword Qi continuously swept towards Tang Zhong and Azure Dragon.

"Hand over the Holy Stone, and I’ll spare your lives!" Xu Fu roared.

"Want the Holy Stone? Come and get it!" Tang Zhong beckoned Xu Fu with his hand.

"Courting death!" Xu Fu sneered coldly. "I’m not negotiating with you. Since you’ve chosen death, I’ll kill you now!"

In an instant, the Stone Sword slashed directly at Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong gripped his Tang Sword and countered the attack.

In the clash, Tang Zhong was forced back, his arm numb from the impact. He had to admit—if Xu Fu wasn’t overextending himself, he would truly be a formidable opponent.

Tang Zhong then addressed Xu Fu, "You want the Holy Stone? Come and get it!"

He immediately turned around and began to run.

The Raw Stone deposits were all underground, so he needed to lure Xu Fu there.

Xu Fu quickly fell into the trap and followed him.

Azure Dragon could only watch Tang Zhong and shout loudly, "Be careful!"

At this moment, Tang Zhong darted swiftly across the surrounding cliffs.

His figure flickered rapidly.

Behind him, Xu Fu stared at Tang Zhong with a malicious grin on his face. "Still thinking of running? This is my tomb—I am its master. Do you think you can escape?"

Xu Fu kept swinging his Stone Sword, striking relentlessly.

On the river surface, water pits erupted continuously.

In truth, Tang Zhong had intentionally drawn Xu Fu away. This way, he didn’t have to hold back and could unleash his full power.

Moreover, Tang Zhong had numerous questions he wanted to ask Xu Fu.

Only when Azure Dragon was completely out of sight did Tang Zhong stop.

"Why aren’t you running? Weren’t you so good at it?" Xu Fu said, laughing sinisterly.

"Because I have some questions for you!" Tang Zhong replied, turning to face him.

He urgently needed answers from Xu Fu. After all, Xu Fu was part of the Sacrificial Clan, and his mention of the Holy Stone proved he was no ordinary figure.

"I have no intention of answering your questions. Hand over the Holy Stone!" Xu Fu commanded.

"You’re from the Sacrificial Clan, aren’t you?" Tang Zhong said.

Xu Fu paused briefly, then frowned. "Who are you?"

"Then you must have seen this before!" Tang Zhong took out a small stone he had obtained from the High Priest.

Xu Fu furrowed his brows upon seeing this. "This... how did you get hold of this? Isn’t this the Holy Stone of the Sacrificial Clan?"

As suspected, Xu Fu’s identity was confirmed. It seemed Xu Fu indeed knew far more about this than anyone else.

"Because I stole it!" Tang Zhong declared. "So, tell me—what exactly is this Holy Stone?"

Xu Fu hesitated briefly, then smirked. "So you stole it, huh? I didn’t expect the Sacrificial Clan to be such useless trash. Well, this actually saves me the trouble of going to that hellhole to search for it. Maybe those old fools who made trouble for me back then are all dead by now."

Tang Zhong narrowed his eyes. Xu Fu calling the Sacrificial Clan’s people "old fools" clearly showed his animosity toward them.

"Want the Holy Stone? Then come and get it!"

"Courting death!" Xu Fu roared, swinging his sword in a horizontal sweep.

Tang Zhong could now fully unleash the power of the stone within him, and he countered the strike with a single blow.

In an instant, the two clashed fiercely, their energies exploding wildly.

Xu Fu was blasted backward. "Want the Holy Stone? Come and get it!"

Tang Zhong said coldly.

Then, he slashed again with his sword.

This time, Xu Fu was clearly losing ground. For Tang Zhong, what mattered now was avoiding exposure of the mysterious stone inside him. To do that, he had to go all out.

Finally, Tang Zhong swung a strike that landed directly on Xu Fu’s arm.

Even though Xu Fu’s body was made of stone, his arm bore a new scar.

However, Xu Fu wasn’t too bothered—instead, he grew even more manic. "It seems the power of the Holy Stone is quite extraordinary, after all!"

Xu Fu clenched his fist tightly, and soon, the scar on his arm disappeared.

"You can’t hurt me. Thanks to the Life Stone beneath this tomb, my body has been suffused with intense life energy. You think you can harm me? Keep dreaming!" Xu Fu said mockingly.

Just as Tang Zhong had suspected.

It seemed Xu Fu’s body was brimming with Raw Stone energy, and defeating him now would require a bold strategy.

Tang Zhong clenched his fists tightly, keeping his eyes fixed on the riverbed, where a strong surge of Raw Stone energy emanated. Only by using poison against poison could he succeed.

But how could he lure Xu Fu into the river? That was the bigger problem.

Tang Zhong furrowed his brows, his mind racing to devise a flawless plan.

Since Xu Fu desired the stone, it would be the perfect bait.

Tang Zhong immediately held up the small stone and glanced once more at the riverbed.

He then turned to Xu Fu and said, "You want this stone? I’ll give it to you now!"

"Hand it over!" Xu Fu’s eyes gleamed brightly.

"Want it? Then go get it!" Without hesitation, Tang Zhong threw the stone into the river, letting it sink to the bottom.

Xu Fu’s expression turned grim. Fixated on the stone in Tang Zhong’s hand, he didn’t think twice before diving toward the river.

"Foolish trash who doesn’t understand the value of this stone—it’s enough to drive the world mad!"

Xu Fu simultaneously swung his Stone Sword horizontally at the ground.

In an instant, the Thunder Sword Blade cleaved through the water, splitting the river entirely.

Soon, the stone Tang Zhong had thrown rested quietly on the riverbed. Seeing it, Xu Fu broke into a grin and reached for it. He immediately recognized the stone as belonging to the Sacrificial Clan!

But Tang Zhong’s focus wasn’t on the small stone—it was on the massive, crystal-like Raw Stone beneath the riverbed.

His goal had always been to use the small stone to lure Xu Fu deeper underwater.

Now, the plan had succeeded.

Without hesitation, Tang Zhong sprang into action. He didn’t use his Tang Sword but advanced bare-handed, aiming to crush Xu Fu from behind.

Xu Fu had already reached the riverbed, clutching the small stone with a look of joy on his face.

But suddenly, he felt an overwhelming killing intent emerge. Alarmed, he turned abruptly and saw Tang Zhong charging at him.

"Not good... I’ve fallen into a trap!" Xu Fu exclaimed.
