Chapter 424 - 378: Reconsider Before Battle, Ancient Tomb Military Formation_2

Chapter 424: Chapter 378: Reconsider Before Battle, Ancient Tomb Military Formation_2

This sentiment is also understandable.

However, the information channels of his own corporation indicated that Zhou Ping’an should not have had any contact with Xie Gebu from any angle.

The only connection was that both of them must have obtained a mirror.

Actually, Zhou Ping’an must have obtained two mirrors.

Originally inheriting one from Dong Qingshan, he then snatched another from Chen Guangyuan.

Thinking of this,

Thompson wanted to curse loudly again.

Chen Guangyuan was also an old Jianghu, yet he was so unreliable. If his abilities were inadequate, he should have been aware of it; he had a good set of cards yet played them so badly that it was difficult to tidy up afterward.

Moreover, upon thinking that Chen Guangyuan’s entire family had died, leaving only an illegitimate child exiled,

and that even Taihe Pharmaceuticals was gone, with all the inheritance swallowed by others, there was no point in blaming this muddled old man anymore.

"Let’s go, no matter what, we have to take a look. If we’re lucky, we might be able to unravel the mystery of Zhou Ping’an’s increased strength, and we might gain some benefits as well,"

Thompson waved his hand to dismiss the "All-Seeing Eye," forming hand signs with his hands, muttering out loud, and the air twisted as a wind picked up around him...

Stepping into the wind, Thompson did not say much else. He dove into the forest and vanished without a trace.

"Wait for me."

Harris stood on the spot, shivering, and hurriedly followed.

...

"What was that just now?"

Zhou Ping’an used the Red Lotus Soul-Locking Light Chain technique, and with a whoosh, he trapped a faint shadowy figure.

Seeing that shadowy figure burn into a wisp of blue smoke under the Karmic Fire, he was momentarily baffled.

"Filthy thing?"

As expected of an ancient tomb, it contained everything.

At this moment, his Red Lotus Visualization Method, having absorbed the Cultivation of the genetically identical Red Lotus Saintess Yun Ling, had significantly strengthened.

This fictitious Karmic Fire, which existed only in his Visualization, already possessed the slight ability to interfere with the real world.

Attaching it above the spirit, as soon as it bound that black figure, it immediately burned fiercely, causing the adversary to emit squeals and disintegrate into ash.

"The last time I came here, I didn’t see this kind of thing. It looks like it is also composed of Yin energy, but this Yin energy seems to be sentient, unlike the Horse’s faced entity made of death energy I saw last time."

Zhou Ping’an thought to himself and extended his spiritual power a bit further ahead, slowing down his pace even more.

Because, just as he casually made a move, as the human shadow was burnt away, there was movement ahead.

"Kill..."

A roar that resonated in one’s soul suddenly emanated from the passage ahead.

It sent chills down one’s spine.

Amidst the swirling black mist, countless stars twinkled high in the dome.

Zhou Ping’an looked up in shock.

He saw, in what was previously an utterly dark environment where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, it had somehow changed.

The sun and moon hung high above, with numerous stars surrounding them.

On the ground, several major roads led to armies lined up endlessly in the distance.

Several hundred steps away from himself, a squad of ten soldiers roared and charged toward him.

"Good gracious."

Is this an ancient tomb?

"Could it be that I have entered some different space?"

Zhou Ping’an could hardly believe his eyes.

A fierce wind roared before him.

A pitch-black spear had already thrust toward his chest.

Its speed of attack was several times faster than the Horse’s faced entity made of death energy he had seen before.

Not only that.

The tip of the spear trembled, seemingly sealing off any room for him to dodge left or right.

"Snap..."

Zhou Ping’an horizontally sliced with his sword, retreating swiftly.

Just from the opponent’s manner of attack, he could tell that the force of this spear far surpassed that of the deceased Ruan Yucheng.

Indeed.

As the sword met the spear,

Zhou Ping’an felt a slight sinking in his arms as an overwhelming force of about five to six hundred thousand jin surged toward him.

It shook him almost causing his steps to falter.

However, the spear-wielding soldier was also shaken back, retracting the spear slightly before accelerating the thrust again.

Behind him, two more soldiers with swords attacked from the left and right sides, slashing down with a fierce wind.

One spear, two blades, had completely sealed the space in front of him; even the air seemed to solidify.

His body felt as though it was trapped in the confines of dirt and stone, making movement exceedingly difficult.

"Three in a formation, one in the center... no, that one who’s clearly the leader hasn’t made a move yet."

Zhou Ping’an thought this, and with one diagonal step, he spanned a hundred meters in an instant.

The dome’s starlight suddenly flickered violently.

The place where he was standing burst into pitch-black light with threads of silver brilliance, rushing past at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.

It cleaved the ground, creating a trench several meters deep...

An overwhelming deadly aura brushed past his clothes and skin, making Zhou Ping’an feel a fluctuation in his True Qi.

During this hectic moment, he glanced at his clothes and found that some parts had already turned into rags.

He retreated once, then again.

Zhou Ping’an backed out three hundred meters straight.

The battle formation stretched slightly behind him.

The person likely to be the leader was now at the back.

An armored warrior dressed in Yellow Armor, lunging with a spear as the vanguard, also followed swiftly, moving as if he were flickering.

"Just a warrior, and he’s this fierce?"

Zhou Ping’an, having tested the strength of this squad of soldiers, had a grasp of the situation. The semi-transparent Red Lotus Brand on his body flickered faintly, and he slashed out with a blade gleaming like the cold moon.

A blade swung fiercely, bisecting the armored warrior in front of him, his figure leaned forward, dragging his blade speedily, creating a succession of afterimages. With a light shout, he slashed seven times in succession.

Gurgling sounds...

Seven soldiers, either charging forward or guarding, burst apart simultaneously.

In the middle of the bodies, a sparkling Star Force Pearl appeared.

Zhou Ping’an only had time to sweep his sleeve, collecting the pearl into a different space, when suddenly a burst of intense light appeared in front of him.

Starlight ahead surged like a tide, a blade light that filled the sky thunderously slashed down.

Clearly, the person leading the ten-man squad was furious.

He heard a powerful roar coming from all directions.

The entire army formation seemed to have been activated.

"Nice Sword Technique."

Zhou Ping’an’s eyes sharpened, his Muscles and Bones exploded with power, his hands flickered with blue light, and he slashed diagonally, striking back fiercely.

Boom...

Dust billowed.

The blade light that slashed through the half-air paused slightly, stopped for a moment, then transformed into a torrential deadly aura and sliced through again.

Zhou Ping’an’s hand holding Cang Yue’s blade suddenly felt heavy as if he were bearing an immense mountain, his arms cracked several times, bones shattering into pieces.

A streak of blade light pierced directly through his chest, impacting his internal organs, and a boundless sense of death surged into his soul.

It was as if he had fallen into the depths of the deep sea, his body chilling to the extreme.

He could no longer afford to prolong the battle.

He exerted force on his feet, and using the "Steps of Worlds Apart", his body produced a piercing sonic boom.

In a few bounds, he was back at the mouth of the Ancient Tomb, and only under the sunlight some miles away did he stop.

At that moment, he began to use the Impermanence of Life and Death Heart Technique, transforming the death energy in his body into vitality.

Feeling his arm bones healing and the deadly energy in his chest being expelled, he finally took a long breath.

"Fortunately, those warriors cannot chase outside, or it would be troublesome.

Even if they did chase, I wouldn’t be afraid. Without the enhancement of the dome’s starlight, the power of this deathly and deadly energy wouldn’t be so immense..."

"Even a Ten Man General was too much for me, I had to run ash-grey."

Zhou Ping’an shook his head, aware that he was not yet strong enough to force his way through the Ancient Tomb.

He looked around, spotting hundreds of artillery stationed around the valley, and countless field warriors ready for battle, shook his head, and his figure flashed away into the distance.

"So, these Star Force Light Beads are transformed from the Spiritual Core of those warriors after they die. How did old man Ruan Yucheng get his hands on them?"

Zhou Ping’an stood in the distance, looking back at the Ancient Tomb with a touch of unwillingness, and started to head back to the city.

This time, he had obtained eight Star Force Light Beads in the Ancient Tomb. For now, he wasn’t in a hurry for more. The place was just too dangerous; if an even bigger foe appeared, he might not be able to withstand it.

Just thinking about the Ten Man General breaking his arm and injuring his internal organs...

Zhou Ping’an felt unable to stand up against it.

"The world is vast, and it’s not yet time to dominate all corners. My strength may seem strong, but I am still weak internally. Slow and steady wins the race, I must not rush."

A sense of urgency rose slightly in his heart, thinking about using the Star Force Beads to quickly run the "Starlight Body Refining Technique" and stack up his combat ability first.

I caught a cold these last few days and had a headache last night, so I went to bed early, causing a delay in updating.

Once my health recovers, I will update on schedule.
