Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: The Battle for the Treasure Chest_1

A multitude of parasitic spiders had already taken effect, beginning to wreak havoc inside the Five-faced Monster.

With the addition of Bai Feifei’s powerful attack, as long as nothing unexpected occurred, this battle would undoubtedly end in their victory.

Perhaps sensing that victory was within reach, Bai Feifei and the others intensified their attacks even more.

After all, as long as they could kill the guardian, they would be able to receive the guardian’s treasure chest—a significant temptation for them.

The Five-faced Monster kept emitting piercing wails, noticeably growing weaker and weaker, with more and more wounds on its body.

The snake-head had been completely smashed, and the wolf-head was also on its last breath.

The remaining three heads also suffered injuries to varying degrees.

Naturally, the critical roles were played by Ling Xiao, Bai Feifei, and Tantai Lingzi; the rest could only be considered support.

Ling Xiao’s control and plague caused the greatest trouble for the Five-faced Monster.

Bai Feifei’s formidable attack power was key in inflicting wounds on the Five-faced Monster.

Tantai Lingzi’s parasitic spiders were as important in weakening the Five-faced Monster as Ling Xiao’s plague.

The desperate Five-faced Monster went into a frenzy, attempting to carve a bloody path to escape.

But with Ling Xiao’s controlling abilities present, each of its efforts ended in vain, and it also wasted a great deal of True Essence.

Eventually, after a quarter of an hour of being ganged up on, the depressed Five-faced Monster collapsed with a bang; before dying, it still resentfully launched an attack at Ling Xiao.

However, it was futile.

Although this angry attack was powerful, it lacked precision.

Ling Xiao had anticipated its move, so he had already dodged in advance—the attack ended up blasting a tunnel tens of meters long in the cave.

”We succeeded!”

”I can’t believe we actually did it!”

”This is fantastic!”

Slaying the guardian Five-faced Monster greatly boosted everyone’s morale; they were all excited beyond words.

Although it had been an exhausting process.

But what did a little fatigue matter? Defeating the Five-faced Monster was the ultimate victory.

Ling Xiao stepped forward to check and confirmed that the Five-faced Monster had completely died.

He then said to everyone, ”Rest a while, folks. Killing the Five-faced Monster means the second barrier is essentially over!”

”Senior Brother Ling, you are truly powerful. To be honest, if it weren’t for you, I doubt anyone could have passed the second barrier!” Leng Hao said excitedly.

”Hmph, the credit isn’t small, but to say that is an exaggeration,” Bai Feifei snorted coldly, believing she could have passed the barrier.

”To be fair, Junior Brother Leng is right. Without Junior Brother Ling, even you, Senior Sister Bai, couldn’t possibly pass the barrier,” Tantai Lingzi shook her head and said, ”Tell me, how would you pass through the encirclement of five King Level monsters and thousands of creatures? All the while having to watch out for the Five-faced Monster’s attacks?”

”This...”

Although Bai Feifei wanted to retort, she couldn’t find any reasons to do so.

The truth was, the biggest trouble in this barrier wasn’t the Five-faced Monster; it was the sea of monsters. If Ling Xiao hadn’t taken care of the other creatures early on, they wouldn’t have been able to focus on the Five-faced Monster with such ease.

Frankly, without Ling Xiao, they all would have been obliterated at the second barrier, with no chance of passing.

But such words of gratitude, Bai Feifei wouldn’t speak. Even though she clearly believed it, she wouldn’t say it out loud.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that mean she owed Ling Xiao a favor?

After resting for a moment, the group continued forward, each person filled with extreme excitement, knowing that no danger lay ahead—only benefits awaited them.

The Moon Blossom Pagoda was placed here originally to train disciples of the Moon Hua Sect, so the fortunes inside were pre-arranged.

This was unquestionable, unlike some ancient sites in the outside world, where you toil to the end only to find nothing.

Here, there would definitely be something, and the quality wouldn’t be poor.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, the group suddenly saw a dazzling array of glittering treasures.

Looking closely, to their amazement, right before the second barrier’s sealing exit, there lay a massive pile of gold, silver, and jewels.

If it were an ordinary person, they’d probably be so excited they’d jump up and down.

However, Ling Xiao had already lost much interest in these things, and it seemed that others weren’t interested either. Upon entering the Moon Blossom Pagoda, everyone was after treasures that could enhance their cultivation level and strength. Such mundane items did not catch their eyes.

Since they weren’t interested, Ling Xiao happily accepted them.

After all, his Divine Sword Sect required a significant amount of gold to expand its influence, and these gold and silver jewels, after being converted, were worth at least a million taels of gold, a substantial sum indeed.

”It can’t just be these things, right?”

Bai Feifei said, disappointed.

No one could answer her question, but suddenly, a figure darted out.

It was actually Wang Nan!

His speed at this moment was not at all inferior to Ling Xiao’s!

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Only Ling Xiao, staring at Wang Nan’s retreating figure, revealed a cold smile.

”Hahaha, the treasures are mine!”

Wang Nan’s voice echoed in the depths of the cavern. He was holding a box that was not very large, which must be the treasure chest prepared specifically for the disciples undergoing the trial in the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

In the outside world, it might not be so convenient, but inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, there was no problem; treasure chests were definitely existent items.

”Boy, hand over the treasures immediately, or I will kill you!”

Situ Jun bellowed angrily and suddenly lunged forward.

Tantai Lingzi did not stop him either.

Treasures like these have always been the privilege of the strong. That Wang Nan thought he could monopolize the trove was ludicrous.

However—

”Boom!”

All of a sudden, there was a loud blast, and Situ Jun’s body exploded in mid-air.

”Remaining participants: ten!”

All Wang Nan did was lightly wave his palm!

”You kid actually hid your strength!”

Bai Feifei’s brow furrowed deeply.

She thought the cunning ones were Ling Xiao alone, not expecting Wang Nan to also have hidden depths.

”What does it matter if I hid it? I am stronger than you all; the treasure should rightfully be mine,”

Wang Nan said indifferently.

”Hmph, we’ll see if you have the capability to claim it!”

Bai Feifei snorted coldly and suddenly thrust out with her sword—an attack filled with murderous intent and by no means weak.

She was really out for blood this time; unable to deal with Ling Xiao because he had leverage over her, but what was this Wang Nan?

Thump!

Her sword thrust, capable of wounding even the Five-faced Monster, was still blocked by Wang Nan’s palm wind and exploded in mid-air.

The air was permeated with a whiff of death’s fireworks.

”How is this possible!”

Bai Feifei exclaimed in shock.

Tantai Lingzi had intended to make a move as well, but seeing that even Bai Feifei could not harm Wang Nan, she suddenly froze.

”Ling Xiao, join forces with me to kill this lad; we can’t let him hog the treasures all to himself!”

Bai Feifei turned and shouted at Ling Xiao.

”Sorry, I’m no match for him, and I’m not interested in doing that,”

Ling Xiao said, the corners of his mouth turning up in a profound smile.
