Chapter 496
“Da!”
Xiao Chen took a deep look at the Lion King, who was hundreds of feet away. Following that, he stared coldly at the blood-red broadsword that was stabbed into the stone platform. He lifted his left foot again and took a firm step forward.
“Peng!”
Just as Xiao Chen’s left foot touched the ground, his knee was bent by the immense pressure, causing him to kneel heavily on one knee.
“Roar!”
Xiao Chen let out an angry roar as he tried his best to stand up. He pulled out his wooden sword and pointed it at the blood-red broadsword. He shouted coldly and arrogantly, “My life is up to me, not you!”
“Nine Extremes Kill!”
Xiao Chen knew that with his strength, he would not be able to reach the blood-red broadsword. If he carried on, his bones would definitely be crushed by the invisible pressure. When that happened, not only would he not be able to save the Lion King, he would also die there. Hence, Xiao Chen finally decided to try attacking. Naturally, he used his strongest attack, Nine Extremes Kill.
“Whew!”
“Peng Boom!”
A three-foot-long black-purple sword beam shot out from the wooden sword and flew towards the blood-red broadsword at an extremely fast speed. The distance of eight hundred feet was traversed by the sword beam in a few seconds. The sword beam brought with it a sharp piercing sound as it collided with the blood-red broadsword, resulting in a terrifying explosion.
Nine Extremes Kill contained a large amount of compressed Power of Desolates. The area of the explosion covered the entire huge stone platform. The top of the stone platform was completely covered in a purplish-black glow. Energy turbulence surged around, crazily colliding with the blood-red broadsword and the black stone platform. It looked very terrifying.
After a while, the smoke dissipated and everything returned to normal. The result was very disappointing to Xiao Chen, but it was not beyond Xiao Chen’s expectations. The result was that the blood-red broadsword was unscathed. Even the black stone platform did not have any fragments from the explosion. It looked like the black stone platform was not simple. It might have been augmented by a peerless energy enchantment, so the destructive power of Nine Extremes Kill was naturally ineffective.
“The attack has failed. What else can I do?”
Xiao Chen looked at the unscathed blood-red broadsword in front of him and felt a sense of helplessness. However, he did not give up. As long as he did not die, as long as he still had a mouth, he would not give up. He would fight.
Suddenly!
Something strange had happened!
The enormous invisible pressure that had been pressing down on Xiao Chen suddenly disappeared, but the blood-red light was still there. It seemed that as long as the giant blood-red sword was not destroyed, the blood-red light would never disappear.
“Eh?”
Xiao Chen, who was anxiously trying to think of a solution, suddenly felt an invisible pressure on his body. Xiao Chen was very surprised. He didn’t think that his Nine Extreme Kill could be so powerful. If it was really so powerful, why couldn’t it even blow up a fragment of the stone platform?
Something must have happened to the blood-red sword itself!
Xiao Chen thought so. No matter what happened, it would be a great thing for Xiao Chen. This way, Xiao Chen would be able to move freely and would not end up with broken bones and torn flesh.
“Xiu!”
Since he could move, Xiao Chen ran quickly. The first thing he did was not run towards the blood-red broadsword, but towards The Lion King who was prostrating on the ground. He found it strange that Da Huang was still prostrating on the ground when he was fine.
After a few breaths, Xiao Chen arrived in front of The Lion King. He hugged The Lion King’s head and shouted with concern, “Da Huang, wake up!
Big Brother, I’m coming!
If you don’t wake up, you will be in big trouble! ”
“Roar!”
This time, Da Huang reacted. He turned his head to look at Xiao Chen coldly and let out a brutal and murderous growl. It looked like he was going to bite Xiao Chen, but he didn’t do it in the end. It seemed like he knew his big brother a little.
“This … Da Huang still hasn’t woken up.”
Xiao Chen was shocked by the Lion King’s emotionless blood-red eyes. Fortunately, the Lion King didn’t attack him. Otherwise, he would have died in the Lion King’s mouth. That would be a tragedy.
When Xiao Chen realized that he couldn’t wake Da Huang up, he looked at the blood-red broadsword on the nearby stone platform. He murmured coldly, “It seems like to save Da Huang, I have to subdue your demonic sword!”
“Xiu!”
Xiao Chen temporarily left The Lion King and quickly came to the side of the stone platform. He didn’t jump onto the stone platform immediately. He had to test if the stone platform was dangerous. If he went up blindly, it would be a tragedy if he died immediately.
What method should he use to test if the stone platform was dangerous?
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and decided to use the wooden sword to test it. If there was no danger, he would use a finger to test it. He only dared to jump onto the stone platform after making sure there was no danger.
“Ding!”
With that thought in mind, Xiao Chen raised the wooden sword and slowly moved the tip of the wooden sword to the side wall of the black stone platform. Following a light sound, the wooden sword was blocked by some invisible energy. This was because Xiao Chen saw that the wooden sword didn’t touch the stone wall. Instead, it was three inches away from the stone wall.
“The stone platform really has a powerful energy barrier protecting it!
Fortunately, the energy barrier only protects the stone platform, and it has no offensive function. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get close to the stone platform at all. “Xiao Chen didn’t look surprised at all. He thought it was normal for something like this to happen.
“Xiu!”
Since he was sure that there was no danger, Xiao Chen didn’t intend to use a finger to test if the barrier was dangerous. If the energy barrier was really offensive, using a finger or his entire body to test it would result in the same result. That was … death.
“Bang!”
Xiao Chen jumped onto the stone platform that was more than one Zhang high. Both his feet landed on the stone platform’s barrier, producing a light sound. However, nothing dangerous happened.
“Phew!”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and finally relaxed. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t nervous. In the face of an unknown energy barrier and a terrifying blood-red giant sword, even an Earth Dragon Realm expert and above would not dare to take it lightly.
The stone platform was temporarily safe. Xiao Chen looked at the flame-shaped blood-red giant sword in the center of the stone platform. His eyes suddenly became filled with hatred and a hint of passion. The hatred in his eyes was naturally because the blood-red giant sword was controlling the Lion King. That was why Xiao Chen hated the blood-red giant sword.
As for the passion in his eyes, it was easy to understand. Any warrior would be tempted by such a peerless sword. Xiao Chen was a warrior, and a swordsman at that. Naturally, he had a strong desire for a peerless sword. If he could get his hands on a peerless sword, his combat power would increase exponentially. That would be a very lucky thing.
“It’s so hot. Could it be that this peerless sword’s body is hot?
Is it sealed or not? ”
Xiao Chen felt a wave of heat coming from the blood-red giant sword, so he became more curious about it. He began to step forward and slowly approached the blood-red giant sword that was ten Zhang away.
“What?
There are so many words carved on the stone platform! ”
Xiao Chen, who was walking carefully, noticed from the corner of his eyes that there seemed to be quite a few blood-red characters carved on the dark stone surface. He looked down and found that there were indeed many small characters carved on the surface of the stone. He was shocked at first, but then became ecstatic.
Xiao Chen quickly squatted down and found that these words were the common words used in the Huangshen Continent. Although they were carved in a fancy style, he could still recognize them. So he began to study the first line: “This sword is called Fengsha Sword. It is a peerless and fierce sword!”
“A peerless and fierce sword!”
Xiao Chen could not help but exclaim as he read up to this point. He abruptly raised his head to look at the huge blood-red sword that was 15 feet in front of him. His heart was filled with shock, and his eyes were filled with incomparable fear.
Xiao Chen had hoped that the blood-red giant sword was a spirit sword or a divine sword. He did not expect it to be a peerless and fierce sword. No wonder it was sealed in such a hidden underground cave. If he had not come here through the big crack in the pool in the valley, he did not know whether this peerless and fierce sword would have been discovered.
