Chapter 456: Tomb of the Sword Immortal (1/2)

No matter how many attacks he suffered, he showed no sign of stopping.

In fact, his only concern now was whether the body of the Evil Sword Immortal had decayed.

Because, although the Evil Sword Immortal had been dead for a long time, he was a cultivator with strong vitality. If it had not decayed, then he would have worked in vain tonight.

Fortunately, Chen Fan's luck was still good. After he shuttled through countless strange mechanisms, he finally ran to the coffin of the Evil Sword Immortal.

The lid of the coffin was wide open, revealing the bottom of the coffin of the Evil Sword Immortal, and a wooden sign was placed at the bottom of the coffin.

There were eight big characters engraved on the wooden sign - Tomb of the Evil Sword Immortal!!!

Seeing the wooden sign on the coffin board, a flash of disappointment flashed across Chen Fan's face, but he didn't think much about it. He held the dagger given to him by Wu Yunzi in one hand and clenched his fist with the other hand, and smashed it into the coffin.

Boom.

As his fist fell, the bottom of the coffin shook and made a roaring sound.

Then Chen Fan swung the dagger again and chopped the coffin board.

Crack.

The coffin board broke into two halves and fell to one side.

Whoosh.

The things at the bottom of the coffin were opened, and Chen Fan's pupils suddenly shrank as if by reflex.

There was a skeleton at the bottom of the coffin, the skeleton was silver, and a sword emitting a cold light was inserted in its chest, revealing a sharp edge, obviously a treasured sword.

There were two green balls on the top of the head of this silver skeleton.

Chen Fan's eyes were focused on the two green balls, and he was stunned for a moment, then he bent down and picked up the skull and the green ball.

"This sword should be the sword of the Evil Sword Immortal. If I can get it, then wouldn't I have two peerless swords?" Chen Fan muttered secretly.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of something. The giant ape he had met before appeared in his mind. The other party also had a spear. What if he got the spear from the giant ape?

With this thought, he could no longer suppress his excitement and expectation. He put the skull and the green ball into his backpack, and then turned around and prepared to return the same way.

But, what made him extremely depressed was that he returned dozens of meters away and still did not find the stone door or the exit.

"Damn, am I trapped? How did I get out?"

Chen Fan frowned and muttered.

He stood on the top of a mountain and glanced down. Suddenly, he saw two graves below.

So, Chen Fan exerted his strength with his legs, jumped off the cliff, and flew straight to the two graves below.

…………

The two graves were far apart, hundreds of meters away.

It took Chen Fan more than ten seconds to reach the middle of the two graves.

At this point, he dared not be careless. He took out the dagger and walked carefully to the tombstones of the two graves.

The tombstones of the two graves were relatively new, and were obviously erected recently. On the tombstones, there were names and photos.

One was the tomb of Xie Jianxian, and the other was the tomb of a young man.

Chen Fan observed the names of the two tombstones. Xie Jianxian was his real name, and the young man was called Xie Lingzi.

Xie Jianxian was a disciple of the cult, and Xie Lingzi was the son of the cult leader. Xie Lingzi's mother was Xie Jianxian's master, and both of them were cult members.

As the saying goes, the same hill leads to a valley. Xie Lingzi did many evil things and harmed many people, even his own parents. Their son must not be much better!

So, Chen Fan did not delay for a moment, and stretched out his hand to poke at the tombstone of Xie Jianxian...

Swish.

However, his fingertips did not pierce the tombstone directly like before. The tombstone seemed to become as hard as iron, causing his nails to sink into it.

Moreover, he felt that the power transmitted by his fingertips was very strange.

His nails clearly pierced the tombstone, but the tombstone did not show any signs of damage.

After a moment, Chen Fan retracted his palm and looked down at the tombstone. He could see clearly that there were densely packed runes engraved on the tombstone, and they were complicated runes.

These runes gave Chen Fan an inexplicable familiar feeling.

In this way, he concentrated his mind on the runes, trying to comprehend something from them and comprehend something special.

Unfortunately, he studied for several minutes and still could not peek into anything from it. Not only that, the more he studied, the more he felt his head hurt.

So Chen Fan had to give up, retract his gaze, and turn away.

He decided not to waste time anymore and go back to find Liu Xiaoyu and others first.

Who would have thought that when he turned around and was about to jump into the sky, a terrifying face appeared behind him.

Chen Fan was startled and turned his head suddenly, only to see a hideous and terrifying ghost face floating in the air, with a bloody mouth biting down at him.

In an instant, Chen Fan's head was buzzing, his pupils widened, and his face was pale.

Fortunately, the ghost face did not really pounce on him, but just opened its mouth and stopped in the air.

"You are..." Chen Fan asked in shock: "Xie..."

As soon as he shouted the three words Xie Lingzi, Xie Lingzi interrupted and said: "Yes, I am Xie Lingzi, I know who you are, you are Chen Fan, you are here to save me..."

"Ah?" Chen Fan was surprised.

He did not expect Xie Lingzi to know him.

But he let it go immediately. After all, Xie Lingzi was the leader of the cult, and he was a member of the cult, so it was not strange to know him.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Fan asked doubtfully: "Why should I come to save you? You and I have never met?"

Xie Lingzi grinned and said, "Because my body is in your hands."

Hearing this, Chen Fan became even more puzzled and said, "My corpse? You are the leader of the cult, Xie Lingzi. How could you be dead? How could you become a corpse?"

"Haha..." Xie Lingzi raised his head and laughed a few times: "My corpse? Haha, you are too naive. I faked my death. I faked my death on purpose."

"Fake death!!!"

Hearing this, Chen Fan's expression changed drastically.

The next moment, both Chen Fan and Xie Lingzi looked at the skull and green ball in their hands.

Xie Lingzi said: "This skull and this green ball are the things I left behind. They were refined by me using secret methods. They are specially used to enchant you and make people mistakenly think that you are dead." ”

Immediately, Xie Lingzi added to the story and explained: "This green ball can resist the attacks of peak warriors. I have lived on it for so long, and I didn't take it out to use until just now."

It turned out that Chen Fan had stabbed Xie Lingzi with a dagger in the tomb of the Evil Sword Immortal before, but the other party was fine. It was because the other party deliberately acted for him.

"Chen Fan, although you are very powerful, your current cultivation level is less than five or six months. I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise you will definitely die." Xie Lingzi threatened: "If you kill me, the evil cult leader Xie Tian Jue will definitely kill you and you won’t be able to escape.”

"Hmph." Chen Fan snorted coldly: "Xie Lingzi, stop scaring me. Even if I let you go tonight, will the people in your cult let me go? Each of the people in your cult is more vicious than the other. They Sooner or later, they will kill me and silence me. In this case, instead of just waiting for death, it is better to fight, at least for me.

There is still a way to survive. "

Having said that, he didn't mean to hesitate, raised the dagger, and continued to pierce Xie Lingzi's tombstone.

"ah……"

However, this time Chen Fan just touched the dagger on the tombstone, and Xie Lingzi immediately burst out with a tragic and heart-rending howl.

Moreover, as he finished howling, his entire skeleton began to tremble and sway.

Chen Fan almost fell to the ground.

"W-what are you doing? Stop it!!!"

"Chen Fan, please don't touch me. I'm telling you, I have a way to help you reach a transcendent realm..."

"Please don't touch me, I am willing to provide you with various cultivation resources!!!"

Chen Fan ignored it and continued to poke Xie Lingzi's tombstone with all his strength.

All of a sudden, the skeleton was shaking more and more, and it was even a little unsteady.

"Damn it, let me tell you, I don't want to die, I'm not willing to be killed by you like this..."

Finally, the skeleton stared at Chen Fan with blazing eyes, and roared angrily: "If you don't stop, believe it or not, I will curse you to die without a complete body..."

"!!!"

Chen Fan stopped.

He looked at the skeleton with a stunned expression.

He stopped poking at the grave because his heart twitched twice because of the other person's words.

No matter whether the other party lied or not, he didn't dare to bet because he was afraid that the other party's curse would succeed.

After all, before the other party was caught, even the masters of the God Transformation Realm were tortured to death by them. It should not be difficult to curse him to die without a complete body.

So Chen Fan temporarily stopped moving.

However, taking advantage of the gap when he stopped, Xie Lingzi's skeleton regained its composure and stopped shaking.

At the same time, Xie Lingzi also said: "Chen Fan, let me tell you, if you want to break through to the realm of transcendence, you need a lot of power..."

"I have something here that my master gave me to save my life when he was dying. He said that only when you are in danger, crush this jade pendant, and it will protect me for once."

"Now that I'm desperate, I give this jade pendant to you, hoping that you can help me escape."

As he spoke, the bone claws of his right arm reached into the coffin from the skull's chest and pulled out a dark box.

On the box, there are dragon and phoenix carvings, which are very exquisite and beautiful, and they are worth a lot of money at a glance.

Chen Fan locked his eyes on the box, frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Jade pendant? How can this thing save your life?"

Obviously, he didn't believe it was a jade pendant, but felt that the other party wanted to defraud him of the green ball in his hand.

Xie Lingzi didn't notice his reaction, walked straight up to him, handed out the box and said: "This jade pendant has a defensive function. It can block any attack. Except for the attacks of warriors in the transformation of gods, no one can hurt you... "

Chen Fan still had no intention of picking up the box right away. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Are you really going to give this to me?"

"Yes!" Xie Lingzi nodded without any hesitation, "Here you go!"

"Okay, I'll take it then." Chen Fan finally took the box.

Then, without any delay, he quickly opened the lid.

Immediately, Chen Fan clearly saw that the box contained a red bead, emitting light red fluorescence.

The beads are about the size of the thumb and are oval in shape. They look extremely ordinary.

Chen Fan held it in his hand and turned it over and over to observe carefully, but he never felt any energy fluctuations.

After a moment, Xie Lingzi urged: "Chen Fan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and confess your master with your blood. After you confess your master with your blood, you can use its power to deal with the people of the cult!"

Since the skeleton was transparent, Chen Fan could clearly see Xie Lingzi's face.

Therefore, as Xie Lingzi spoke, the already twisted and ferocious cheek became even more twisted and ferocious, as if it might collapse and be destroyed at any time.

However, Chen Fan was not frightened by this. He still did not throw the jade pendant out and continued to examine it carefully.

Later, he asked: "Jade pendant, is this really a treasure?"

Xie Lingzi replied affirmatively: "Of course it's a treasure. If it's not a treasure, why don't I keep it for self-defense or use it?"

"Let me tell you, my master gave it to me in the first place just to save my life. If you kill me, it will be ineffective and I will be wiped out!"

Chen Fan curled his lips: "I don't believe it. You just want to delay time by saying that!"

Xie Lingzi was furious: "You..."

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't believe it, I can't help it. That's the fact. Believe it or not."

Chen Fan had no intention of dwelling on this issue with Xie Lingzi anymore, and looked down at the jade pendant in his hand again.

This time, after a few seconds, he was sure that the other party was not lying, and then he bit his left index finger and squeezed out a few drops of blood.

Chen Fan dropped it on the red bead.

In an instant, Chen Fan was surprised to find that the jade pendant that originally looked very ordinary changed its appearance instantly after being stained with his own blood.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a tingling sensation in the bones of his left arm.

When this tingling feeling came, Chen Fan knew that he and the jade pendant had formed a connection.

At the same time, a message appeared in Chen Fan's mind: "Hello, master, I am Xie Lingzi, and it was you who successfully concluded the contract."

Listening to the voice ringing in his ears, Chen Fan became more certain that his guess just now was correct.

This jade pendant really has the ability to withstand attacks.

The next moment, he held the jade pendant in his hand and tried to activate it.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the jade pendant had no reaction at all, and it seemed that it would not release energy on its own at all.

"What the hell is this?"

After trying to no avail, Chen Fan couldn't help but complain and put the jade pendant into the Qiankun Ring.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Fan shifted his attention to Xie Lingzi's body.

Although Xie Lingzi just said that his master gave him this jade pendant before he died to save his life, Chen Fan always felt that his master's death was not simple.

His master must have hidden some secrets during his lifetime, and this secret may be related to the skeleton in front of him.

Otherwise, before the other party's master died, why did he specifically tell the other party to give him the jade pendant?

Thinking of this, Chen Fan decided to test Xie Lingzi and deliberately asked: "Xie Lingzi, let me ask you a question. Before your master died, he asked you to wear this jade pendant. What did he hide? Is the secret related to the skeleton in this tomb? "

"This..." Hearing this, Xie Lingzi was stunned for a moment and did not dare to answer immediately.

"Why, are you scared? Are you scared?" Chen Fan sneered twice and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't dare to say it, but I'm warning you, since you gave the thing to me today, its secret must be Tell me."

"Otherwise, even if I don't kill you for the time being, I can dig up this grave and dig out this skeleton..."

Hearing the last sentence, Xie Lingzi's legs trembled and he almost fell down.

After a moment, he swallowed hard and said: "You... are not allowed to mess around!!!"

His tone was full of strong fear and fear.

Seeing that he finally showed it, Chen Fan was completely sure that his guess was correct.

So, Chen Fan continued to ask: "How about it? Do you want to say it or not?"

His attitude seemed to be to force the other party to confess everything.

"you……"

"What are you talking about? Do you want to say it or not?"

Chen Fan's expression turned completely gloomy, and a strong murderous aura emerged from his body.

It was obvious that as long as the other party didn't say anything, he would definitely get rid of the other party without hesitation.

Feeling the change in his momentum, Skeleton Evil Lingzi's body shivered more and more violently.

After a while, he swallowed his saliva again and said: "Actually, I don't know the secret you want to know from me, because only my master and our brothers know that secret..."

"As for the master who asked me to carry this jade pendant with me and told me that the jade pendant could help me escape, I only knew it accidentally."

"As for the secret you want to know, I really don't know. I don't even know its name or which master refined it."

"Oh, do you think I will believe you?" Chen Fan snorted coldly: "I think you are clearly deceiving me."

Xie Lingzi shook the skeleton and begged, "Brother Chen Fan, I didn't lie to you, everything I said is true..."

"I know you won't believe me easily. If you don't believe it, I can perform a witchcraft on you now. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will perform it on you immediately. The witchcraft I have practiced is more powerful. Powerful, you will love it!”

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and recited a few spells.

As the spell was recited, Chen Fan suddenly felt that a force suddenly emerged from the other party's body.

This power went straight to his body.

"Forehead……"
