Chapter 262 Old acquaintanceAbove the dead grey earth, there was no sound at all, only the occasional breeze that blew away the faint energy mist.
Somewhere in this land, there was suddenly a thunderous sound of rushing, and then four streams of light whizzed past, passing through unscrupulously.
"stop!"
Among the streams of light, the white stream of light in the front suddenly made a sound and gradually slowed down, and the three streams of light behind it did the same.
The speed gradually slowed down, and finally, the stream of light stopped on a hill, revealing its appearance. It was Xiao Yun and the others.
Since entering the third level, everyone no longer just rushes on their way. When they meet a soul body on the way, they don't avoid it as before, but attack it directly and destroy it.
Although doing so caused them to take longer to travel, they also gained a lot, as everyone obtained a large number of energy cores.
Even the nine-star energy cores that Gu Qingyang mentioned, there are as many as two or three.
"Brother Qingyang, what's wrong?" Xiao Yun looked at Gu Qingyang and asked.
"Let's rest here for a while..."
Gu Qingyang looked solemnly, raised his head and looked into the dark depths ahead, and said: "If my guess is correct, we should have reached the depths of the third layer now.
According to the map given by the clan, we only need to walk for another half a day to reach Senior Xiao Xuan's tomb!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yun and the others showed delight on their faces, especially Xiao Yun. He couldn't wait to meet Xiao Xuan and learn from him a wave of heaven-level skills!
"Then why are we stopping here? Can't we just keep going?" Zi Yan asked curiously. There was only one step left in the hundred steps, so there was no need to stop here.
"I want to, but the people in front won't agree..."
Gu Qingyang shook his head, looked at Xiao Yun, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao Yun, among the four of us, your soul power is the strongest. You can feel the situation ahead."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun closed his eyes slightly, and the soul power at his brows surged out, dividing into several strands of perception, and probed forward.
"Hmm? There are a large number of Dou Zun peak souls gathered in front of us, and there are also quite a few on the left.
Only on the right side, the number of souls is the least, but... there should be half of the saint-level souls."
After a while, Xiao Yun opened his eyes and explained the situation to the people around him.
"Half-Saint? Then we can't go to the right?"
Zi Yan frowned, "But the other directions are not easy to go either. There are too many peak Dou Zun. With our strength, it is difficult to pass."
The scene of being chased by soul bodies when they were on the second level was still vivid in their minds. Although they escaped in the end, those soul bodies did not have the cultivation base of the peak Dou Zun!
"No, we can only go to the right!" Xiao Yun shook his head and said word by word: "Half-Saint, this is the limit of what I can sense. I can't sense a Dou Sheng!"
Directly in front and on the left, a large number of peak Dou Zuns gathered. There was only one reason why this group of bloodthirsty and warlike souls were not bloodthirsty, and that was that there were more terrifying existences above!
Being able to suppress a large number of peak Dou Zuns cannot be done by just a Semi-Saint!
After hearing what Xiao Yun said, the three of them also reacted. They didn't expect that the road that seemed to have the most hope of passing was actually the most difficult one.
"Then we can only go to the right..." Medusa frowned.
They were not afraid of the semi-saint, but they were afraid that the resulting battle would attract other souls, and then they would be surrounded by the souls.
"Brother Qingyang, what do you think?" Xiao Yun smiled and looked at Gu Qingyang. Medusa and the other two would definitely follow him, so now it was up to him.
"Of course I have to give it a try! A mere half-saint is not enough to make me back down!"
A streak of black light flashed in Gu Qingyang's eyes, and he said with a smile: "In the past thousand years, no one from my clan has been able to enter Senior Xiao Xuan's tomb. Maybe I, Gu Qingyang, can be the first person!"
"Well, let's get going! Be as careful as possible! Although we are not afraid of the soul body of the semi-saint level, it would be best if there is no fight!"
Xiao Yun said to the three people, then he moved and walked to the right. Their movements were no longer as unscrupulous as before, but rather a bit sneaky.
A group of people walked quietly on the gray ground. With the help of the faint mist, Xiao Yun and others successfully arrived at the right area.
Not far in front of them, there were four souls sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Among them, one figure was extremely conspicuous. Judging from its strength, it was actually a soul body that had reached the nine-star level!
Xiao Yun walked in the front and just raised his hand slightly. A pitch-black flame gushed out and, with the help of the gray ground, came silently in front of the four people.
"Whoosh!" The next moment, the flames suddenly surged, releasing extreme temperature and entwining the four soul bodies. They wanted to resist, but it was too late.
The three soul bodies were instantly burned into nothingness, leaving only three energy crystal cores on the ground.
Even the most powerful nine-star soul body could not last a breath in front of the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, and could not even utter a scream before it turned into nothingness.
"Keep moving forward!" Xiao Yun waved his sleeves, collected the four energy cores on the ground, and whispered to the person behind him.
After killing four soul bodies, no other soul bodies appeared on the rest of the journey, and the journey was smooth until Xiao Yun felt a sense of pressure.
"A powerful half-saint..." Feeling this vague pressure, Xiao Yun and others frowned, gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of a huge rock.
"Let me observe first."
Xiao Yun whispered something to the three of them, then leaned forward. A ray of pitch-black flame flashed in his eyes, taking in the scene in front of him.
His gaze passed through the faint gray energy and continued forward, eventually landing on a huge rocky mountain that was a hundred feet high.
There was no human figure on the mountain, but there was an extremely powerful pressure that continued to seep out from it and enveloped the area.
After observing for a while, Xiao Yun still did not see the figure of the semi-saint. He withdrew his gaze, his face a little solemn, and said:
“This road is not easy to travel on either. There is a mountain in front of us, blocking the way forward.
Moreover, the semi-saint that I sensed earlier should be inside that mountain!"
"Then we can't hide our bodies and sneak past from the side..." Gu Qingyang frowned and said in a deep voice.
“That’s right, if a Half Saint blocks our way, he will definitely discover us.” Xiao Yun nodded and continued, “But with our strength, it’s not difficult to defeat a Half Saint.
But this is not necessary. Although a semi-saint-level energy core is good, it must be used with life!"
Hearing this, the three of them nodded, their eyes focused on Xiao Yun, waiting for his orders.
After all, among the group, only Xiao Yun had a semi-saint level strange fire in his body.
"Let's make a quick decision!" Seeing the expressions of the three people, Xiao Yun exhaled lightly and said, "I'll be at the front, and Brother Qingyang, you'll be the last.
When the other party finds us, I will hold him back. You don't have to help me, just stay away from this area.
When you leave, I will naturally get rid of him and follow you!"
After listening to Xiao Yun's arrangement, the three nodded. This arrangement was very reasonable. It could allow them to pass quickly while preserving their internal fighting spirit to the greatest extent!
After the plan was confirmed, Xiao Yun was the first to walk out, followed by Medusa and the other two, who followed in order.
Four figures walked on the gray land, slowly approaching the mountain ahead. When they were still hundreds of feet away from the mountain, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from them.
"The other party has sensed it! Get ready!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun let out a breath and said to the people behind him.
"Yeah..." the three responded.
Immediately, four streams of fighting spirit of different colors, emitting a terrifying aura, slowly surged out of their bodies.
Among them, the most powerful one is the mixed black and red fighting spirit, which suppresses the other three to the side.
“Hehe…there’s an intruder!”
Along with a hoarse voice, under the gaze of everyone, on the top of the hundred-foot mountain, the void slowly twisted, and a blood-red figure walked out of it.
The figure stood proudly on the top of the mountain, and next to him was a dark red ghost-head sword.
An extremely strong smell of blood emanated from the blade, like a blood-colored mist, covering the mountain.
Even though they were hundreds of feet apart, Xiao Yun and others could smell it clearly.
"Such a fierce aura..."
Looking at the ferocious figure on the top of the mountain, Medusa and the other two's faces changed, and then their minds moved. Their powerful fighting spirit attached to their bodies, and they were ready for battle.
Compared to the vigilance of the other three people, Xiao Yun was a little different. Looking at the blood-red figure in the distance, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Isn't this the 'old acquaintance' and the Blood Sword Saint who led the way?"
Is this the fate between the Blood Blade Saint and the Xiao people? Or is the Heavenly Tomb too small?
Just when Xiao Yun was daydreaming, the Blood Knife Saint also made a new move.
He stomped his feet hard on the ground, and a terrifying force was transmitted to the mountain through his feet.
Huge cracks, several meters long, suddenly appeared on the surface of the mountain, extending from top to bottom to the foot of the mountain.
Just one kick was enough to make this huge mountain unable to bear the weight and become shaky.
The Blood Knife Saint flashed and appeared like a ghost not far in front of Xiao Yun and the others, holding a ghost-head sword in his right hand and looking down with cold eyes.
As the distance got closer, the murderous aura and smell of blood reached its peak!
"I haven't tasted human blood for a long time. I almost forgot what it tastes like..."
The Blood Sword Saint just twisted his neck as if he wanted to say something, but a roaring black fire dragon interrupted his words.
"If you can't remember, don't think about it!" Xiao Yun waved his hand violently, and the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame shot out, and he took the lead in launching an attack.
At the same time, he shouted, "Go ahead and wait for me!"
