Chapter 373: Incident

"Sword formation, this is really a field I haven't explored much in my previous life."

Su Chen became interested. Sword formation is a kind of formation, usually composed of several swords or dozens of swords. Some high-grade sword formations even consist of hundreds or thousands of swords.

When the sword formation is deployed, the swords in it will automatically fly and kill the enemy. Its power depends on the grade of the swords and the grade of the sword formation itself.

However, sword formation is difficult to practice, and there are very few people who master it. Moreover, the sword formation requires that all the swords in it are magic weapons. For ordinary warriors, it is impossible to get so many magic weapons.

Su Chen showed interest and opened the secret book. However, the text in the secret book seemed to be covered by a layer of fog and could not be seen clearly.

This is a sign that the secret book is protected. Only after the protection on the secret book is lifted can the text on it be seen normally.

Su Chen is somewhat interested in this secret book, but each person can only take out one treasure, so he can only put down the secret book and walk out.

In this way, Su Chen only spent half an incense stick of time to select treasures, which was very short.

When he walked out of the small room, he found that the guard who was guarding outside the small room had disappeared at some point.

"It's a bit strange."

Su Chen frowned slightly. The other party was accompanying him to select treasures. Logically, he didn't spend much time selecting treasures, so the other party shouldn't leave so casually.

He suppressed the slightly weird feeling in his heart and walked towards the door of the treasure house alone.

As a result, after walking a few steps, he heard Jin Linkai's voice from behind a shelf not far away: "Seventh Prince, that's the core area, we can't go in...ah!"

After a light cry, Jin Linkai stopped moving.

Su Chen's heart moved, and he immediately walked over quickly. Turning to the back of the shelf, he saw that Jin Linkai was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, his chest sunken, and he had obviously just been punched by someone, his face was pale.

"The Seventh Prince is indeed problematic. He wants to enter the core area. Is he interested in something in the core area?"

Su Chen felt Jin Linkai's breath and found that he was still breathing, but he just fainted. He took out a healing pill and stuffed it into Jin Lin's mouth, and then chased in the direction of the core area.

After walking two steps, Su Chen couldn't help but stop again, because he was surprised to find the body of the guard who had brought him in in a corner.

There was a big blood hole on the chest of the corpse, which was obviously pierced from the chest to the back by some force, and even the golden armor he was wearing disappeared.

"Strange, there is something strange. When I came in, I noticed that this guard was a seventh-level cultivator in the Transformation Realm. Such a cultivation level is absolutely impossible to be killed by the Seventh Prince of the Fourth Level of the Transformation Realm. That means that someone else killed him. Who is it?"

Su Chen frowned and began to feel that things seemed to have exceeded his imagination and became more and more complicated.

However, since he had come here, Su Chen would not retreat. He decided to go back to the core area to see what the Seventh Prince was doing.

He quickened his pace and headed for the core area.

When he arrived at the small room in the core area, Su Chen did not go in immediately. Instead, he stood outside the small room, activated his soul power, and observed the movements in the small room through the wall.

The Seventh Prince, who had a broken arm, should have just arrived and was walking into the small room in the core area leisurely.

The Seventh Prince's eyes scanned the things on the shelf, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Looking at the secret book of "Eight Desolations Devil-Breaking Sword Formation", he muttered: "This is it."

Then, the Seventh Prince stretched out his intact hand, grabbed the secret book of "Eight Desolations Devil-Breaking Sword Formation" and stuffed it into his arms, and then walked out of the small room.

When the Seventh Prince walked out of the small room, he saw Su Chen standing outside the small room.

The Seventh Prince was slightly stunned at first, then he immediately smiled and said, "Master Su Chen, I don't know where the guard who brought me in went. I just walked around and ended up here. Is this the core area?"

Su Chen glanced at the Seventh Prince's arms and asked, "What did the Seventh Prince take from the treasury?"

The Seventh Prince's face changed slightly, and his smile disappeared. He subconsciously covered the wound on his broken arm and said, "You don't need to ask this."

"That won't do." Su Chen shook his head. Just because Prince Anyang gave him the Ice and Snow Cicada, he couldn't ignore this matter.

Because he actually owed Prince Anyang a favor. Prince Anyang could have taken the Ice and Snow Cicada out of the treasury and stopped him from taking it, but he didn't do so, which was equivalent to giving the Ice and Snow Cicada to himself in disguise.

Now that the Seventh Prince was obviously stealing treasures from the treasury, Su Chen naturally couldn't ignore it.

It's not that Su Chen didn't want to go outside the treasury to inform the Anyang County King, but just now when Su Chen used his soul power to sense it, he found that the area around the treasury was separated by something, and the news could not be transmitted to the outside.

This should be a power similar to an illusion. If Su Chen guessed correctly, even if he walked out of the treasury now, the Anyang County King would not be able to see him.

The Seventh Prince's face changed again and he said, "I admire you very much and want to give you a way out, but if you want to die, then it's not my fault."

"Finally, you've revealed your true colors?"

Su Chen was not surprised at all. Since the first time he saw the Seventh Prince, he expected that the Seventh Prince would not be a simple person. However, he still didn't expect that the Seventh Prince would be so bold as to steal things from the core area of ​​the Prince's treasury.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Prince of Anyang about this?"

Su Chen asked indifferently.

"The dead can't talk."

The Seventh Prince sneered. Anyway, the connection between the inside and outside of the treasury had been temporarily blocked by him. After he killed Su Chen, he could escape immediately. By the time the Prince of Anyang and the others found out, it would be too late.

"My feeling is indeed correct. Since the first time I saw you, I felt that there was an evil aura lingering around you, which gave people a very uncomfortable feeling. Now it seems that you are indeed not simple. What is your purpose, or who are you working for?"

Su Chen looked at the Seventh Prince and said.

"Hmph, what's the point of saying this now? You'll die in my hands soon."

The Seventh Prince showed his true colors and rushed over with a fierce look. His intact left hand turned into a fist and a piece of black energy was released from his fist, turning the area within a radius of three meters into a space filled with black air.

The black energy formed a net that dragged down Su Chen.
