Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  "Why don't we go out first, and you toss the item out to us later?" One of them suggested.

  The female trap master rolled her eyes.

  "You sure are idealistic. Forget about how those Arhat Buddha statues will definitely stop you. Even if you toss it, how far do you think you can even throw it?"

  As they stared at the Arhat Buddha statues that stretched out for hundreds of feet, the trio fell into silence once more.

  "Should we destroy them?"

  "You can try," the female trap master answered while she subconsciously rolled her eyes.

  Even if they could destroy these Arhat Buddha statues, who were at Myth Realm, they would still need to spend a lot of time doing so. Besides, if they somehow activated the Arhat Formation, the situation would become worse for them.

  "We can't just continue waiting! Evil King will come back soon!"

  The trio were a little anxious.

  The female trap master asked, "Where is Luo Zhiheng?"

  "He's waiting to receive us outside. I think he has gone off to check that guy's corpse. He'd take advantage of every opportunity he could to gain benefits for himself, and he'll definitely not miss the opportunity to get the items that guy dropped."

  "Send him a messenger pigeon and tell him to pay attention to the Evil "King's movements!"

  "Alright!"

  *****

  While the trio were trapped by the Arhat Formation formed by more than one thousand Arhat Buddha statues, the trio's other companion was sizing up the person who was about to die but was not dead yet, and he did so with the curiosity of a cat.

  His c.h.e.s.t had clearly been pierced through by a sword thrust, and blood was everywhere on the ground, but Luo Zhiheng discovered to his incredible shock that this person, who should have turned into a blurry mess by now, still stood where he was and did not fall. His c.h.e.s.t would even move up and down after a long while. Hence, he could forget about ever hoping for the person's face to become blurry. While he looked unfamiliar, his features were still very clear. All this showed that this person who had just endured a fatal sword thrust from Empress Yin was still alive!

  "Is your spirit animal a c.o.c.kroach or something…? Why aren't you dead yet?"

  Luo Zhiheng stared at the person in front of him and felt very gloomy.

  'Why?'

  This caused him to be conflicted.

  He came here to steal something from a dead person. He was not here to kill!

  This person seemed like he was in a terrible condition and seemed no different from the dead, to the point that he looked like he would die with just one poke.

  But if he killed this person right now, he might end up getting himself a powerful enemy out of the blue.

  It was clearly not worth it to get something random which might or might not be a fourth-echelon demon vessel and provoke a powerful enemy who seemed very powerful.

  Luo Zhiheng stubbornly stood by the side and waited for the person to die naturally. If he did that, when this person went into the cycle of reincarnation, he will not see any of Luo Zhiheng's information, and he could not come causing trouble to Luo Zhiheng.

  However, after he waited for a period of time, he discovered that this person clung to life as stubbornly as a c.o.c.kroach.

  The terrifying, fatal wound had actually started to stop bleeding and start healing.

  Even though his breathing was still as weak as a candle flame facing a violent gust of wind and his heart would only beat once after a long while, he was still getting better than the beginning.

  "Well, aren't you cruel?"

  Luo Zhiheng prepared himself to leave in disappointment.

  Then, at that moment, the rumbling sounds from Arhat Formation attracted his attention.

  He snapped into attention, and Luo Zhiheng saw a broken wall before he jumped on it and looked at the situation at the formation from the distance.

  When he saw what was going on, his eyes instantly became bloodshot.

  "What the heck?! Is this a joke?!"

  The angry, imposing presence from the Arhat Formation made it look like a giant meat grinder, and anyone who looked at it from the distance would definitely be terrified.

  "They definitely ran into huge trouble!

  "This won't do, I have to find them!"

  But at that moment, a mysterious and fast figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

  His pupils shrank.

  The breath Luo Zhiheng took was squeezed out of his lungs because of fear.

  "Evil King!"

  It was not difficult to guess what had happened. With how much of a ruckus the Buddha statues had been causing, it was impossible for Evil King to not have been attracted. Right now, perhaps Shi Feixuan had already been held back by Empress Yin, and she could not stop Evil King from entering the Arhat Formation.

  "God, please protect them! You can't let Evil King enter the place, absolutely not!

  "Arhats, you must absolutely do your job!"

  As he watched Evil King swiftly get closer to the Arhat Formation, Luo Zhiheng started praying nonstop.

  Unfortunately, no one knew whether it was a mistake to pray to God while he was a Buddhist or whether it was because he had bad character, but the scene Luo Zhiheng wished would happen did not show up.

  "No way… Are those Arhats made of paper and are just there to scare others?!" Luo Zhiheng was incredibly furious. When he saw how fast Shi Zhixuan ran, he instantly became alarmed and anxious.

  If Evil King rushed into the Arhat Formation, those three would be in danger.

  In his anxiety, Luo Zhiheng did not notice that the person who had been so weak that he would topple over if wind blew at him suddenly released a barely audible m.o.a.n. He moved his fingers laboriously and slowly opened his eyes.

  "Ha…"

  To Happy, that slash had nearly taken his life. He had been struggling at Death's door for a long time, and he practically used all his strength to continue surviving.

  Just as he expected, he obtained an understanding, but he did not receive any notification about his Marrow Cleansing Marrow leveling up.

  Instead, after fighting desperately against the feeling of destruction, he received a notification that he obtained one willpower.

  "Ding!

  "Broke Empress Yin's Heart Demon's Sword! Willpower became stronger! Increase Willpower by 1!"

  'Willpower!'

  'What… the heck is that?'

  When Happy sensed light once more from the endless darkness, he could not help but curse at the notification that he heard.

  If it were not because of the fact that Tendon Changing Classic had powerful healing abilities and not because of the tenacity brought by his high Affinity, he would have long since returned to Guanlin Temple…

  'Damn it.'

  He had been struggling for a long time with this and suffering for so long, and he still had not understood the thing Mad Monk said he had to understand while he was caught in the throes of death.

  The sword slash just now had been a great opportunity!

  When he thought of this, Happy could not help but feel a little discouraged.

  However, Happy still activated Tendon Changing Classic's healing abilities at first moment. His body was weak and feeble, and the feeling of swaying on his feet was really annoying.

  "Hmm?"

  Right when he circulated Tendon Changing Classic once and restored some of his strength, Happy quickly noticed that there seemed to be another presence nearby.

  He whipped his gaze to that side.

  When he saw C.o.c.kroach's gaze, Luo Zhiheng felt his heart grow cold. It was as if he had just fallen into an ice cave, and it was terrifying.

  It was very difficult for him to imagine how someone with this sort of gaze could actually be stupid enough to fight against Empress Yin head on and nearly die.

  In truth, Luo Zhiheng had suddenly heard movement behind him when he was prepared to leave. When he turned around to look, he saw that C.
o.c.kroach, who had nearly died, had actually recovered.

  The shock from this discovery was as great as seeing Evil King turn around to rush back into the Arhat Formation!

  Happy said nothing, he quickly had the sharp look in his eyes fade away, and his qi faded away to make him appear like a normal player.

  'It seems like this person has been here for some time.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99t-you-die-!_49004668008846823 for visiting.

  'He didn't attack me while I was in that state just now. Looks like he's a pretty good guy.'

  When he thought of this, Happy naturally had the wariness and hostility he previously had disappear.

  But soon, Happy noticed the abnormality in Dafo Temple.

  More than one thousand Buddha statues moved on the ground, and the rumbling sounds they formed made it seem like there was an earthquake nearby. It was difficult for him to not notice it, even if he did not want to.

  "What happened?"

  Happy suddenly remembered that Empress Yin and Evil King might still be around, so he quickly brought out an item from his Universe Bag using the strength he had recovered after tremendous effort.

  Luo Zhiheng said nothing. But he was clearly a person with… rather unique thought processes. When his companions were in trouble, he could still shrug and try to look for the bright side despite the difficult circ.u.mstances, but when he turned his head around to see the item Happy brought out, his eyes were immediately fixed on the spot.

  Fire Qilin Blood!

  It was bright red, and it looked like it was about to fall off Happy's hand while it exuded powerful vitality. There was no veteran World of Martial Arts player who was unfamiliar with the item.

  But under Luo Zhiheng's even more shocked gaze, he saw the mysterious C.o.c.kroach not frowning in the slightest and resolutely swallowing that incredibly valuable Fire Qilin Blood.

  Luo Zhiheng found himself speechless. His heart was about to twist up into a knot because of that sight.

  Fire Qilin Blood could be used to cure a person from the injured status after he or she died, and it could also increase the user's qi once. It was even more valuable than Illusion Life and Death Pills!

  'This guy didn't die… and he used such a valuable item to heal himself…

  'Why didn't he die?!'

  Luo Zhiheng cursed in his heart.

  Chapter 1027 - Mysterious Stone Plate

  "What is this…?"

  "Why isn't it a martial arts manual? What is it made with, it's so hard…"

  "It looks a little like a stone block!"

  "It is a woodblock print?"

  The two men and woman chose to untie the knot and see just what was inside the bag.

  In the end, what caused them great disappointment was that there was no martial arts manual inside. Instead, they were four exquisite and smooth stone blocks whose names they did not know and could fall off the Universe Bag at any moment even if they placed them inside. There were also some pictures they could not understand on the stone blocks.

  Four stone plates!

  Four pictures!

  And carved on it were these words: You need time to understand it.

  "No way, we can't use it immediately?"

  "We can't use it either. It's written that we need to find a quiet place and carefully study it to be able to understand the true profound nature behind the pictures on the stone plates. Even if we have it in our hands right now, it's useless."

  "We're done for…"

  The trio's expressions were incredibly dark, and they felt their last shred of hope vanishing as well.

  When they looked into the distance, they saw more than one thousand Arhat Buddha statues at the beginning stage of Myth Realm locking down a circular area of hundreds of feet by standing close to each other, and they were like a bronze wall. The two men and woman who stood at the center looked disheartened. They instantly felt as if their lives were bleak, and the effort they paid off over the past month had completely gone up in smoke.

  "We can't go out. Even if we send a messenger pigeon to Luo Zhiheng, he can't help us get out of this stupid place."

  The female trap master remained silent for a while before she accepted reality with dejection on her face. She sighed, "I think that our quest isn't actually to steal these four stone plates from among so many Arhat Buddha statues in Dafo Temple…"

  "If it's not to steal them, then what are we here for?"

  "To destroy them."

  "What?"

  "Think about it. When Shi Feixuan gave us the quest, she told us that we were to bring it as quickly as possible once we found the item and stay far away from Shi Feixuan while we bring it to Kind Boathouse. If we could not leave with it, we were to think of everything we can to destroy them, and we were not to let Shi Zhixuan get them." The female trap master smiled in anguish. "I think that since this place is full of traps, with our strength, it's impossible for us to get out. It's possible that right from the start, our task was to be in charge of destroying these four stone plates, not to take them away."

  "Destroy them?"

  "But we came here after so much effort…"

  The two men s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths, and they held their stone plates tightly. Then, they were excited. "Do you know what you're saying? You know that the stone plates are left behind by a divine monk who is One with the World, right? And you're thinking about destroying them?"

  No matter what, they were not people who were at Happy's level. They could not remain calm and rational while they faced the peerless treasure, Langhuan Blessed Ground. Besides, the item in their hands might actually be worth even more than Langhuan Blessed Ground.

  "Did you actually think that I would be willing to?" The female trap master smiled in anguish. "Think about it carefully! Even if this item is God of War Picture Chronicles, we can't bring them out with our abilities."

  The two men said nothing.

  "If we continue staying here, the possibility of Evil King snatching them will be even greater. At that time, not only will we fail the quest because we lost the stone plates, we will also die! We spent so much effort before we pushed our relationship status with Shi Feixuan to Friendly. If we fail in this quest, Shi Feixuan will be utterly disappointed in us!"

  They could understand what their companion told them, but the treasure in their hands right now could change their current situation and even elevate them to being top-class elites who could catch the attention of the world. They would much rather that they had never run into these items instead of being forced to give up on them right now.

  "Do it."

  The female trap master naturally knew about the furious fight her companions had in their hearts, but she was currently the only one among the three who still had a rather clear and rational mind.

  She knew very well that with Shi Feixuan's strength, it was impossible for her to hold back Evil King and Empress Yin!

  It was impossible that Evil King had not discovered what was going on here when the Buddha statues had made such large movements!

  "If we don't take action, once Evil King comes here, not only will we die, but we will also fail in our quest, and the items will also fall into Evil King's hands."

  The female trap master gritted her teeth while she spoke, and she resolutely threw two of the stone plates in her hands into the sky.

  Under her two companions' pained gazes, the female trap master delivered a strike with all her power, and a palm-generated wind charged forward fiercely and mightily. It charged forward fiercely, and it looked as if it wanted to crush the stone plates into powder.

  However, it seemed like these stone plates which were made using unknown material were not that easily destroyed. A loud bang rose, but the stone plates remained undamaged, and the palm-generated wind was sent violently crashing against the Arhat Buddha statues.

  "Oh no!"

  When they saw
this, the trio's expressions changed drastically.

  Almost instinctively, the trio moved at the same time to get the stone plates back.

  But right when they were about to attack, the thousand Arhat Buddha statues released an astonishing presence, and a violent, invisible qi wave suddenly charged toward them from the front.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The trio felt as if their lower halves had been swept through by a force amounting to thousands of Newtons. They fell backward very pathetically.

  Those two stone plates were not attacked by the qi waves. They fell among the Buddha statues without anything slowing down their fall. They fell on an empty spot among a few Arhat Buddha statues. There was even a distance of thirty something feet between them.

  "This is bad… This is really bad."

  The three people got up from the floor. They saw the stone plates that fell among the Arhat Formation, and all of them put on anguished smiles.

  The female trap master was full of regrets, and they did not think that these seemingly frail stone plates would be so sturdy. They were completely fine even after they suffered a full-powered blow from her.

  "I can't take those stone plates back!"

  "What should we do?" The trio instantly felt as if they were like ants on a frying pan.

  They had originally been hesitating between rushing out and destroying the stone plates to complete their quest, but now… they had to face the nightmare of failing their quests.

  Their hearts instantly sank.

  "Don't panic! We can't lose our cool!" One of them s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and calmed down before he said, "We still have a chance. Let's see if we can destroy those stone plates with hidden weapons!"

  "That's right!"

  "We have to hurry up! Quick!"

  The three of them brought out their bows, arrows, hidden weapons, and throwing knives, and they aimed them at the stone plates among the Arhat Buddha statues.

  Whoosh!

  One of them moved the fastest. He fired three arrows at the same time and had all of them travel in a row to shoot at the stone plates. He was actually using a Moksha Realm Bow Technique, and the power was incredibly domineering.
