I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#220 - Breaking the seal

Chapter 219 Breaking the Seal and Emerging

Liu Lin was an old hand; how could he do something that would offend people?

Don't start from your own standpoint in everything; everything must involve everyone.

“Zhong Xiang, quickly clear the way. Don't use some trumped-up things to frighten everyone, using it to cover up your selfish desire to seize treasures. Let me tell you, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, you must clear the way today and not delay everyone's treasure hunt.” Wang Dan, who had long disliked Zhong Xiang, immediately opened his mouth and rebuked him, his voice full of anger.

“That's right, don't think everyone doesn't know your sinister intentions. What you've said so much is just to try to swallow the treasure all for yourself, right? This is the fortune of an entire ancient god and demon tomb; don't break your teeth.” Wang Dan also mocked.

“I said you can't dig, and you can't dig. Chen Xu is my man. I told him to stop, and he stops. If you want to continue digging, then you dig. Chen Xu and I are going to withdraw.” Zhong Xiang's eyes looked at Chen Xu. The key to opening the tomb's seal lies with Chen Xu, so at this time, Zhong Xiang focused his gaze on Chen Xu, shouted at Chen Xu, jumped off the high platform, and was about to take Chen Xu away.

“Brother Chen! My Pingbian Royal Mansion is still short of guest officials. As long as you join the Pingbian Royal Mansion, you will surely have wealth and glory in the future.” At this moment, Fifth or Sixth Gentleman stood up and looked at Chen Xu.

Zhong Xiang took a few steps when he saw Chen Xu still standing in place. He couldn't help but frown, turned his head to look at Chen Xu, and then shifted his gaze to Fifth or Sixth Gentleman, who had come forward to win over Chen Xu: “Your Pingbian Royal Mansion is poaching in front of my face, isn't that a bit too disrespectful to me?”

“Brother Zhong is mistaken. Brother Chen Xu is a person, not a kitten or puppy that recognizes its owner. Of course, he has the right to choose for himself.” At this time, Fifth or Sixth Gentleman was not afraid of Zhong Xiang's pressure. Instead, he stared straight at Chen Xu: “Brother Chen, if you choose the Pingbian Royal Mansion, come over. The Pingbian Royal Mansion will bear all the pressure.”

Chen Xu's reliance on Zhong Xiang before was originally forced by the situation. He and Fifth or Sixth Gentleman were old acquaintances with deep personal friendship. At this time, hearing Fifth or Sixth Gentleman's solicitation, he glanced at Zhong Xiang and respectfully bowed: “Young Master Zhong Xiang, please forgive me! Fifth or Sixth Gentleman and I are brothers who live and die together. Since he has asked me to rely on the Pingbian Royal Mansion, I cannot refuse…”

“Good! Good! Good! You are very good!” Zhong Xiang was exasperated when he heard this. He flung his sleeves and walked to the corner, saying unhappily: “You continue to dig. I want to see what kind of retribution you can dig out.”

After Zhong Xiang finished speaking, he stood in the corner and didn't say anything else. At this time, Fifth or Sixth Gentleman looked at Chen Xu: “Brother Chen, please do it as soon as possible. Don't delay any longer. If the people from the imperial court arrive here, the trouble will be great.”

Chen Xu nodded when he heard this, continued to squat down, and brushed back and forth with two brushes.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Xiang in the corner gritted his teeth in anger, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes, but he quickly restrained all his anger and quietly stood in the corner waiting for the final result.

He couldn't leave, he couldn't leave in a fit of anger. If the Cursed Demon God ran out, and everyone fought with the Cursed Demon God, perhaps his help at a critical moment could turn the tide.

The Cursed Demon God is related to everyone, including Zhong Xiang himself, so he must not run away casually.

At this time, Zhong Xiang was also secretly scolding Zhang Chen in his heart: “This dog thing probably already had some expectations in his heart before he opened his mouth, predicting that this would be the result, so he told me the news without hesitation. He is afraid that these people will suffer too many casualties under unpreparedness, so he used my mouth to tell these people to be vigilant.”

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiang's eyes swept over everyone, but he didn't see Zhang Chen's trace, which made Zhong Xiang even more angry and itchy.

In this tense atmosphere, a group of people gathered around the core position of the main tomb chamber, surrounding the position of the forbidden law.

Along with the brushing back and forth with the two brushes, the restriction on the jade stone became more and more blurred, and the lines and runes became more and more dim. Suddenly, at a certain moment, Chen Xu in the pool quickly put away the brushes and ran away, scrambling out of the pit, standing on the shore, staring at the jade slab in the pit.

The onlookers also knew that things had reached a critical moment at this time, and they all gathered around, staring at the seal with their eyes, while secretly raising their vigilance, guarding against unknown dangers. Although everyone felt that Zhong Xiang's words were unimportant before, but when it really came to a critical moment, none of these smart people would be careless.

“Crack~”

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out in the cave. Although the sound was weak, it sounded like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears.

On the jade plate underground, a crack suddenly appeared inexplicably. The crack was like cracked ice, and the cracks on it began to spread and wander, becoming larger and larger. Finally, when the dense cracks covered the entire jade plate, the next moment, the entire jade stone shattered directly, and then there was an overwhelming sound. Mysterious rays of light flew out like meteors, instantly blowing away the people in the cave, and then the mystery escaped out of the cave along the passage.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen in the dark suddenly realized: “So that's how it is. The hundreds of gods suppressed by the Emperor in the past gathered here. At this time, as soon as they were born, they fled. If these hundreds of mysteries are allowed to escape, I am afraid that there will be hundreds more gods in the outside world soon.”

Zhang Chen watched in secret and did not chase after the hundreds of mysteries that escaped, because the speed of those hundreds of mysteries was too fast, and Zhang Chen couldn't catch up at all. What's more, he knew the priorities. The real treasure was the things in the Emperor's daughter's coffin, that was the real good stuff.

“But something is not right. Since the seal has been broken, why is the Cursed Demon God not seen?” Zhang Chen felt a little uneasy in his heart: “Could it be that, as the Great自在Heavenly Demon said, the main body of the Cursed Demon God escaped with the help of countless weird disguises?”

Zhang Chen deduced countless thoughts in his heart, and felt that things were most likely like this.

Then Zhang Chen quietly hid in the corner, waiting to find an opportunity to seize the treasure later, and collect the experience points and skill points on the ground.

“The treasure has been born!”

At this time, the people from the major forces saw the mystery was born, and without saying a word, they chased after it. As for the treasures in the coffin, everyone knew very well that it was not something they could covet.

On the contrary, those mysteries that flew out, if everyone could capture one, it would be a great harvest.

In a blink of an eye, everyone dispersed, leaving only nine people in the field.

Zhang Xiaohua, Fifth or Sixth Gentleman, and Chen Xu from the Pingbian Royal Mansion, as well as Liu Lin, Chai Chuanxin, and Zhong Xiang, as well as Liu Yang, Zhu Xia, and Wang Dan.

"Not good!" Zhang Xiaohua's expression turned serious as she spoke to Mr. Wu Liu.

Mr. Wu Liu, upon hearing this, remained unhurried and said, "No need to rush. I naturally have my methods. Although we are few in number, these few fellows are not necessarily in my eyes."

"Mr. Chen, what's the situation now?" Mr. Wu Liu asked Chen Xu.

"The seal has been broken. In ten breaths, the Feng Shui formation will collapse, and the power guarding the coffin will soon disappear. Please, brother, quickly seize that tree coffin," Chen Xu said.

At this moment, the scene was deathly silent. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes all focused on the direction of the coffin. Just ten breaths later, a pillar of energy suddenly appeared above the coffin, connecting the sky and the earth. Countless runes flickered upon it. Then, the next moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled on the energy pillar. Following that, one rune after another appeared on the pillar. Suddenly, cracks flickered across the energy pillar, and then the energy pillar shattered like glass, countless fragments shooting out in all directions.

At this moment, accompanied by the disappearance of the coffin, a stream of light soared into the sky from within the coffin, about to escape.

"The treasure within this coffin is extraordinary and must not be allowed to escape," Zhong Xiang said as the flames around him transformed into a large net, directly enveloping the treasure light.

The light seemed to possess sentience. Seeing this, it twisted and turned in the void like a loach, dodging Zhong Xiang's fiery net.

"Young Master Zhong Xiang, let me lend you a hand." Mr. Wu Liu on the other side was also envious. The next moment, six rays of light soared from his sleeves, weaving into a silk net, enveloping the treasure light.

The silk net formed by sword light was extremely fast. Even the treasure's speed paled in comparison. The treasure light, unable to dodge, actually crashed directly into the silk net.

"Hahaha, you are all too kind! I'll take the lead!" Mr. Wu Liu was overjoyed to see the treasure captured by him, a hint of ecstasy in his eyes. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Xiang's fiery silk net, whether intentionally or unintentionally, directly collided with Mr. Wu Liu's sword net.

The treasure was constantly struggling within the sword net, already making it difficult for the sword net to contain it. Now, with Zhong Xiang's fiery silk net smashing down, the sword light silk net shattered directly, and the treasure light escaped like a nimble snake.

"Zhong Xiang, you..." Mr. Wu Liu was furious at this sight.

"A mistake! A mistake! Sir, please don't blame me. After all, I am young, and my years of cultivation are not as long as yours. It is normal to be unskilled. Sir, you wouldn't blame me, would you?" Zhong Xiang said with a cheeky smile.

At this moment, Zhong Xiang thought to himself, "Awesome! Just awesome! It's just awesome to the extreme! This feeling of acting young and selling oneself is just awesome! These guys kept relying on their seniority to manipulate me before, but now I must let them know how powerful I am."

"You..." Mr. Wu Liu didn't have time to argue and quickly manipulated his sword light to envelop the treasure, while Zhong Xiang also continuously manipulated his fiery net.

"Sir, why aren't we making a move?" Zhu Xia, standing to the side, looked at the two fighting and felt somewhat anxious. Seeing the space in which the treasure was maneuvering in the air becoming smaller and smaller, and the space for dodging and turning becoming smaller and smaller, he couldn't help but reveal an anxious expression.

Liu Lin smiled and said, "Isn't this just watching the methods of the two of them first?"

As he spoke, a jade ruler flew from his hand, smashing towards the treasure light in the air.

In an instant, the three parties fought in the void, back and forth, quite lively.

In the corner, Zhang Chen, transformed into a stream of water, 'watched' the treasure light constantly shooting out in the air, a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "The treasure within that light seems to be a box. I don't know what good things this kid 'Di' left behind back then! If I had known this would happen, I would have left a back door in advance, to avoid fighting today."

Just as he was muttering in his heart, the box in the air suddenly collided left and right, and somehow, after a flash, it flew out, like a panicked little beast, directly into Chai Chuanxin's arms.

Chai Chuanxin first revealed a blank expression in his eyes, and then, the next moment, he woke up as if from a dream. Without saying a word, he clutched the object in his arms tightly, not even bothering to check it, and flew away into the distance.

At this moment, Chai Chuanxin was happy and excited to the point of tears: "I am indeed still the most beloved son of Father Heaven!"

Being able to obtain a mysterious item is already enough. He dared not be too greedy, lest he be unable to escape later.

Chai Chuanxin ran wildly. Mr. Wu Liu's expression changed, and the next moment, a sword light shot from his sleeve, directly stabbing towards Chai Chuanxin, wanting to kill Chai Chuanxin on the spot. At this moment, Liu Lin took a step forward, and a jade ruler flashed in his sleeve, transforming into a ray of light, blocking the flying sword's path. The two exchanged blows, and sparks shot out in the darkness. With this delay, Chai Chuanxin had already disappeared into the darkness.

The crowd looked at Chai Chuanxin running away, then looked at the coffin, and then decisively gave up chasing Chai Chuanxin, and rushed towards the coffin without saying a word.

The treasures inside the coffin are the most important!

Not to mention anything else, the value of that tree coffin alone already surpasses all treasures.

Zhong Xiang and Mr. Wu Liu and others turned their heads and rushed towards the tree coffin. In an instant, the two sides fought fiercely. Zhong Xiang transformed into a flame giant, while Mr. Wu Liu's body was surrounded by nine sword lights, constantly confronting Zhong Xiang, constantly piercing Zhong Xiang's body. For a time, the two sides fought fiercely.

And Liu Lin, Liu Yang, Zhang Xiaohua, and others were not idle either, and they all ran wildly towards the direction of the coffin.

In the corner, Zhang Chen, transformed into a stream of water, looked at the tree coffin, and then looked at Zhong Xiang and Mr. Wu, who were already fighting. Knowing that a victory or defeat would not be decided here for a while, he transformed into a stream of water and chased after Chai Chuanxin without saying a word.

At this moment, Zhang Chen's heart was very unbalanced, and he wanted to ask why. Chai Chuanxin actually obtained the treasure in the tomb and took the initiative to acknowledge him as its master. What kind of luck is this?

He, Zhang Chen, is the protagonist, okay?

No one noticed Zhang Chen's transformation into a stream of water. At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the coffin. After Zhang Chen flowed out of the crowd's sight, he directly transformed into a vampire bat and disappeared into the darkness.

Chai Chuanxin in the darkness was running fast at this time, stroking the object in his sleeve. His little heart was pounding wildly, and a hint of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He never expected that he would have such luck, that a treasure would be delivered directly to his door.
