Chapter 318 The Mighty Corpse
"It is said that the body of a powerful person lies inside, and his cultivation has surpassed our imagination."
"There must be endless treasures in this coffin!"
Everyone was talking about it, and their greedy eyes made people shudder.
At this moment, the coffin suddenly vibrated, and powerful power burst out from it. A destructive breath swept the whole scene, and many warriors had no time to dodge and were blown away.
"Ah--" A warrior screamed, and his body exploded in the air, and blood mist filled the air.
Such a scene made everyone present terrified. However, greed still defeated fear, and they surrounded the coffin again.
Major forces also went out, including Wuliang Mountain, Tiandao Sect, Miedao Temple, Yaoguang Holy Land, Yaochi Holy Land, and the demon clan territory. The old generation of strong men competed for the existence in the coffin, while the younger generation competed for the treasures that flew out from time to time on the periphery.
Gu Sheng also joined the competition. With the strong body of the ancient saint and the sharp swordsmanship of the Nine Swords of Gale, he shuttled freely among the crowd. However, he met a tough opponent - Wu Dewang, who was fat and had a bulging belly.
Although Wu Dewang's cultivation was not high, he was agile and specialized in snatching treasures from Gu Sheng. In a fight, he took advantage of Gu Sheng's unpreparedness and snatched two of his treasures.
"Stinky Taoist priest, give me back my treasures!" Gu Sheng shouted angrily and chased Wu Dewang. The two started a fierce chase in the mine. Wu Dewang was as slippery as a loach and always escaped Gu Sheng's pursuit at the critical moment. This made Gu Sheng very annoyed, but it also strengthened his determination to take back the treasure.
It's just that Wu Dewang is as slippery as a loach, always offering various magic weapons at the critical moment, which makes people overwhelmed.
At this moment, the coffin vibrated again.
"Buzz..."
The power of this vibration was even greater, and the whole mine seemed to collapse. Everyone was terrified and fled in all directions. Only Gu Sheng and several other powerful warriors still insisted on staying around the coffin.
They knew that the vibration of the coffin must have an extraordinary meaning.
"Swoosh..."
Sure enough, a treasure shining with golden light flew out of the coffin after a while. It was a golden long sword, with ancient runes engraved on the sword, exuding a powerful aura.
The appearance of this long sword shocked and eager everyone present. They all tried to snatch the long sword, but Gu Sheng got it first.
"Swoosh!"
Gu Sheng held the golden long sword in his hand and felt the powerful power contained in the sword. He was full of confidence and determination, "This long sword is mine!"
Gu Sheng shouted and waved the long sword to rush towards other warriors. Seeing this, other warriors also fought with Gu Sheng. In this fierce battle, Gu Sheng showed his power with the strong body of the ancient holy body, the sharp swordsmanship of the nine swords of the wind, and the newly acquired golden long sword.
Just when Gu Sheng was feeling proud, Wu Dewang made his move.
"Swoosh!" A silver chain swung over and entangled the golden sword. Gu Sheng only felt a huge force trembling, and the golden sword slipped out of his hand.
"Hahaha! This sword is mine!" Wu Dewang's laughter echoed in the empty ancient tomb, with a bit of pride and arrogance. He held a long sword flashing with cold light, his eyes full of greed and ecstasy.
This laughter was like a match lighting a fuse. The sky suddenly shook,
"Buzz..."
With a loud noise, it seemed that the entire starry sky was about to collapse. The bigwigs of various forces appeared one after another, staring at the demon emperor's coffin floating in the air with burning eyes.
"This is a relic of our demon clan!" A demon clan elder spoke first. He smelled the demonic aura rising into the sky, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. "This should belong to our demon clan!"
"Hmph, what relics are not relics? This world only looks at strength!" An elder from the Temple of Destruction snorted disdainfully. His huge palm tightly grasped the iron chain on the coffin, exerting great force, and a deafening roar followed.
The bigwigs of other forces were not to be outdone, and they all fought for it. Some grabbed the iron chain, while others directly hugged the coffin and shook it hard. The scene was once in chaos.
"Hahaha..." At this moment, Wu Dewang laughed and said in his heart:
"You bunch of idiots, the real treasure is not in the coffin!" He flashed and grabbed a small copper piece next to the coffin. The copper piece suddenly turned into a stream of light and flew out, falling directly into a pool not far away.
Gu Sheng happened to be by the pool at this time, and he witnessed it all. Seeing the copper piece fall into the water, the grass vine demon soul on his body reacted instantly, like a flexible snake, and quickly dived into the water.
"That's my stuff!" Wu Dewang was very anxious when he saw this, and he jumped into the pool immediately.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a trace of determination. He urged the skills, and the surrounding mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, and beasts emerged. The golden waves rolled, as if to sweep across the world. His breath was mighty, and his body seemed to be shrouded in golden light, flowing with brilliant light like a grid.
"Nine Swords of the Wind!" Gu Sheng shouted in a low voice, and his figure moved as fast as the wind. At the same time, he slapped out a golden palm and fought fiercely with Wu Dewang in the water.
"You little devil, dare to steal things from me!" Wu Dewang roared, waving the long sword in his hand tightly, trying to force Gu Sheng back.
But Gu Sheng was not afraid at all. He used the "Shadow Hiding Skill" to hide and appear from time to time, making Wu Dewang's attacks miss frequently. At the same time, the "Xiaoyao Ascension Step" made his speed reach the extreme, circling around Wu Dewang, looking for opportunities.
"Thirsty Blood Axe!" Gu Sheng suddenly sacrificed his Xuan-level top-grade treasure and chopped Wu Dewang with an axe.
Wu Dewang was shocked and quickly waved his sword to resist. Gu Sheng's attacks were continuous like a storm, and each attack contained powerful power.
"Ah!" Finally, Wu Dewang was accidentally hit in the chest by Gu Sheng, and screamed and flew backwards.
"Humph! Fight with me?" Gu Sheng looked at Wu Dewang lying on the ground coldly, with the Thirsty Blood Axe in his hand flashing with cold light, "Your things? Now it's mine!"
After saying that, he turned and swam towards the surface of the water, ready to take the small copper piece. At this moment, something strange happened! The originally calm water surface suddenly became turbulent, and a huge black shadow rose from the bottom of the water!
"What the hell is this?" Gu Sheng exclaimed. He saw the true face of the black shadow and it turned out to be a huge water monster! It opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Gu Sheng!
"Damn it!" Gu Sheng cursed in his heart and hurriedly urged his skills to resist. But the water monster was so powerful that for a moment, he was actually a little overwhelmed.
"Roar!" The water monster let out a deafening roar, and the waves shook the surrounding water surface. Its huge tail swept violently, and Gu Sheng only had time to dodge sideways, but was still shocked by the aftermath.
"This beast is so strong!" Gu Sheng was secretly shocked. He knew that this was not a solution, and he had to find a way to defeat this water monster in order to get the copper piece. So he took a deep breath and urged the "Nine Swords of Gale" to attack the water monster!
The sword light crossed the water like mercury, directly hitting the vital point of the water monster! The water monster didn't seem to be afraid of these attacks. Its huge body swam flexibly in the water, easily avoiding Gu Sheng's attacks. At the same time, it opened its big mouth from time to time, trying to swallow Gu Sheng!
The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides were in a stalemate. Although Gu Sheng had the ancient holy body and powerful skills, the water monster was also very powerful, and he couldn't defeat it for a while.
Wu Dewang also recovered some strength at this time. A trace of sinister light flashed in his eyes, and he quietly approached the battlefield between Gu Sheng and the water monster...
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and Gu Sheng and the water monster were both knocked back several meters away. It turned out that Wu Dewang took the opportunity to sneak attack the water monster! Although this attack failed to severely injure the water monster, it also made it very angry. It turned around and pounced on Wu Dewang!
"Hahaha! You guys take your time!" Wu Dewang laughed and turned around and ran. He knew that he was not the opponent of the water monster, so he chose to run away. Gu Sheng took the opportunity to chase after him. He couldn't let go of the chance to snatch the copper piece!
The three of them started a thrilling chase in the water! The water monster roared continuously and constantly attacked Gu Sheng and the fleeing Wu Dewang.
Gu Sheng chased after him relentlessly, trying to take back the copper piece; Wu Dewang tried his best to escape while not forgetting to look back and shoot cold arrows from time to time...
The battle lasted for a long time. In the end, the grass vine demon soul turned into a thin thread and brought the copper piece back to Gu Sheng's body.
"Huh... It's finally over..." Gu Sheng emerged from the water panting. He held the copper piece tightly in his upper body and showed a triumphant smile on his face. "What is the use of this thing?" He thought to himself.
At this time, Wu Dewang in the distance did not leave, but hid aside and secretly observed Gu Sheng. A cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he was brewing some conspiracy.
"Hmph! Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng, do you think you won? In fact, the real contest has just begun!" Wu Dewang muttered to himself, with a strange smile on his face.
"Boom..."
At the same time, in another part of the ancient tomb, the bigwigs of various forces were still fighting for the Demon Emperor's coffin. They didn't know that in this chaotic battle, a bigger conspiracy was quietly brewing.
"Boom!"
A loud noise came, and an elder of Yaoguang Holy Land was repelled several steps by a strong man from Wuliang Mountain. The battle between them has entered a white-hot stage, and both sides have tried their best to defeat each other.
"Hmph! You Yaoguang Holy Land also want to compete for this Demon Emperor's coffin? It's wishful thinking!" The strong man from Wuliang Mountain sneered.
"Hmph! We Yaoguang Holy Land are not vegetarians! We want this Demon Emperor's coffin today!" The elder of Yaoguang Holy Land snorted angrily and rushed towards each other again! Their battle broke out again.
The fierce battle was in full swing, when suddenly, a mysterious black shadow quietly approached the coffin of the demon emperor floating in the air. The black shadow moved swiftly and secretly, and approached the coffin in full view of everyone, without anyone noticing.
"That's... Elder Heifeng of the Temple of Destruction!" Someone recognized the identity of the black shadow with sharp eyes and exclaimed immediately.
Elder Heifeng stretched out a dark big hand, which was like the long arm of an ape, flexibly bypassing the attacks of other big men and firmly grasping a corner of the coffin. A sly smile flashed across his face, and then all his strength burst out, forcibly tearing the space, and disappeared with the coffin.
"Asshole!"
"Heifeng, you old thief!"
When the big men reacted, Elder Heifeng and the coffin had disappeared, leaving only a slowly closing black hole in space. They roared in anger, but they could only watch Elder Heifeng escape.
"We can't let him run away like this!" A trace of determination flashed in the eyes of the Holy Light Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land. He flashed and rushed into the space black hole regardless of danger.
"Quick, catch up!" The strong men of the Tiandao Sect, the Ji Family and other forces also reacted and rushed into the black hole. For a time, the whole space was surging, as if a tattered cloth bag was swaying in the autumn wind.
Gu Sheng and the younger generation of disciples from various forces who were watching the battle from a distance could only watch this scene happen. They were not strong enough to participate in this shocking battle.
"Is this the strength of the big guys?" Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with yearning and determination, "One day I will reach such a realm!"
At this time in the space black hole, a more intense battle was taking place. Elder Heifeng fled into an unknown space crack with the coffin, but the pursuers followed closely and poured in.
"Where are you running, old thief Black Wind!" Elder Shengguang shouted angrily, and the holy light in his hand flashed, turning into a lightsaber that went straight to Elder Black Wind's back.
Elder Black Wind dodged the attack with a flash, and he sneered, "Old man Shengguang, do you think you can catch up with me?"
"Shameless old thief, if you don't hand over the coffin today, don't even think about leaving here!" The strong man of Tiandao Sect also shouted angrily and joined the battle.
All forces attacked Elder Black Wind in an attempt to take back the coffin. But Elder Black Wind was strong and cunning, and he could always avoid fatal attacks at critical moments.
The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides were in a stalemate. At this moment, something strange happened! The originally stable space crack suddenly began to vibrate violently, as if it was about to collapse.
"Not good! The space is going to collapse!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone's face changed, and they stopped attacking and wanted to escape from here. But the space crack collapsed too fast, and they could only watch the crack slowly close in front of their eyes.
"Hahaha! You stay here and be buried with me!" Elder Heifeng laughed wildly. He took the opportunity to put the coffin into the storage ring, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Everyone watched Elder Heifeng escape, but they were powerless. They were trapped in the space crack that was about to collapse and could not escape.
For a while, panic and despair spread in everyone's hearts. At this time, Gu Sheng and other juniors were still waiting outside for the result. They didn't know what was going on inside, so they could only wait anxiously.
Outside
"What happened inside?" Gu Sheng stared at the space black hole in front of him with a frown, "Why haven't the big guys come out yet?"
"I don't know! Will something happen if this goes on?" Saint Yaoguang said worriedly. (End of this chapter)
