Chapter 811: Chapter 810 [It’s him, it’s him, it’s him!]

A ruthless person always faces ruthless retribution. The Golden Elder truly spat blood this time, injured by the Divine Power emitted from the Iron Halberd, and vomited blood from anger.

Originally, the Golden Elder had already gained an overwhelming advantage over the Sha Xue, and in less than an hour, he would definitely be able to annihilate Sha Xue. By doing so, he could devour another powerful Divine Sense, and perhaps finally breakthrough in his Infant Heavenly Skill, advancing his cultivation which had been stagnant for years. But who knew, his insatiable greed backfired; seeing Ye Tianchen’s group of four working to subdue the powerful Iron Halberd, he recklessly split his focus to contest it with a force condensing from his Essence Blood, only to end up in such a state.

Now, not only is the Golden Elder injured by the Divine Power from the Iron Halberd, but he’s also facing the danger of being counter-killed by Sha Xue. Sha Xue’s combat power was initially at the middle late-stage Martial Venerate level, not much higher than Ye Tianchen and the others. After losing the Iron Halberd, its mighty Treasure, its combat power drastically decreased, and surrounded by Ye Tianchen, the man with a back knife, and the man in silver armor, critically injured, in reality, it was no match for the Golden Elder anymore, constantly escaping and dodging, its death was only a matter of time, never expecting the Golden Elder to fall into such a state.

At this moment, Sha Xue let out a bizarre cry, seeming extremely pleased while mocking the Golden Elder as an idiot, unleashing its powerful Divine Arts and Absolute Skill, relentlessly attacking the Golden Elder. The Golden Elder, injured by the Iron Halberd, filled with rage, saw his combat power decrease, and could only fend off with his Golden Mace. Their battle wholly reversed, a truly lamentable and pitiful sight!

”Old monster, you’re seeking death on your own, don’t get killed by Sha Xue, otherwise I’ll be burdened to finish Sha Xue off!” Wuji Taoist was the first to mock.

”You... old nun, if you want to make a move, help me now. Together we can annihilate Sha Xue, otherwise, once I kill Sha Xue, you too will become my enemy, the enemy of the Golden Elder, and I won’t let you go!” The Golden Elder shouted as he defended against Sha Xue’s attacks, glaring at Wuji Taoist.

”Oh, are you threatening me? I’m so scared, but even if I want to help you right now, I am unable to. The Iron Halberd is still waiting for me to subdue it, and also... I warn you not to offend me, you’re already severely injured, no match for me. I wouldn’t mind killing you too.” Wuji Taoist revealed a vicious, venomous heart, her cold eyes filled with a ruthless gleam as she stared at the Golden Elder.

At this moment, the Golden Elder truly dared not speak, the most severely injured person here was none other than him. With Sha Xue pressing on each step, the question of whether he could successfully kill Sha Xue was uncertain. Even if he did manage to kill Sha Xue, with his injuries and exhausted combat power, anyone here would have no problem killing him. Even if Wuji Taoist didn’t make a move, Ye Tianchen might very well help Hu Gao take him down. The Golden Elder was undoubtedly worried about this life-and-death matter.

Beep!

Suddenly, a light screen emanated from the Iron Halberd, enveloping the man in silver armor. Gradually, the man in silver armor began to float, smoothly heading towards the Iron Halberd without any hindrance or suffering any damage from the Iron Halberd’s Divine Power. Ye Tianchen, the man with a back knife, and Wuji Taoist were all momentarily stunned, understanding clearly in their hearts that the Iron Halberd had chosen its master; it was the man in silver armor.

”This brother has great fortune; this Iron Halberd is at least a Treasure at the Martial Saint Realm, obtaining it would greatly increase one’s combat power!” said the man with a back knife, as he retracted his transparent rope, felt a bit disheartened, yet still spoke with calmness.

”Why him? Why him?” Wuji Taoist asked, unfair and unconvinced.

”Everything has its fate. What is meant to be will be, what is not meant to be should not be forced. It’s him, it’s him, it’s him...” Ye Tianchen smiled and also withdrew his golden hand.

”Hmph, the two of you seem to be taking it well, didn’t you also fail to get this Iron Halberd?” Wuji Taoist snapped with annoyance.

”We didn’t get it, so what? If everyone got it, how could it be called the ultimate treasure?” The man with a back knife said with a calm smile.

”Although we didn’t get it, it’s still better than some who, not only didn’t get the Iron Halberd, but are now injured by it, facing uncertain life or death!” Ye Tianchen looked towards where the Golden Elder was being pushed back by Sha Xue.

”You little bastard, I’ll let you know Grandpa’s power sooner or later, and make sure you’re utterly annihilated!” The Golden Elder turned and cursed fiercely upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words.

”You better not be stubborn, focus on staying alive.”

Ye Tianchen was uninterested in making a move, not because he didn’t want to kill the Golden Elder, but because he knew that Hu Gao wanted to personally kill the Golden Elder. Some things, some matters, letting friends or family handle them themselves is always more satisfying and freeing.

Shua!

Shua!

Swish!

Three powerful divine forces surged out, all slashing towards the sky, breaking apart the blood-red mist that had gathered. A man clad in silver armor, holding a large halberd, looked coldly at the half stone stele.

”Thank you all for yielding. Now that I’ve acquired this halberd, let me pave the way and see what kind of legacy lies within this Martial Saint Tomb...” The silver-armored man spoke straightforwardly and, after a loud shout, charged towards the half-broken giant stone stele with his iron halberd.

Bang!

A blow of True Power struck the half-giant stone stele, instantly shattering it into pieces. After obtaining this iron halberd, the silver-armored man, He Chang, saw his battle prowess greatly increase, with powerful True Power flowing through his entire body. At this moment, there were likely very few present who dared to challenge him in three hundred rounds of battle; his aura was at its peak, indicating that this halberd was truly not a mortal item.

The chosen wielder of the iron halberd was He Chang. After he shattered the remaining half of the stone stele, everyone couldn’t help but stare forward. When the dust settled, Ye Tianchen, the man with the sheathed sword, Wuji Taoist, and He Chang all furrowed their brows. Behind the half stone stele was a pitch-black and bottomless cavern. Even with powerful divine thoughts sent forth, no one knew what lay inside the cavern or where its end was. The cavern was devoid of any flowing divine power, adding to its eerie nature.

”Hahahaha, it’s opened, finally opened. I’ve waited too long, far too long...”

Xue Huang was ecstatic, seemingly having waited here for a very long time, always wishing to break the stone stele to see the true face of the Martial Saint Tomb. Yet, because the halberd wouldn’t accept him as its master, he couldn’t shatter the stele. Eventually, Xue Huang thought of a method: to fuse himself with the stone stele, slowly earning the halberd’s approval bit by bit. Unexpectedly, such a long time had passed, and it was only with the help of Ye Tianchen and the others that the stone stele was finally shattered, revealing another corner of the Martial Saint Tomb.

Swish!

Xue Huang couldn’t wait, transforming into a streak of blood light and rushing into the pitch-black and bottomless cavern, leaving no further sound. The golden elder also let out a huge sigh of relief, quickly circulating Martial Arts True Power to heal injuries. Ye Tianchen, the man with the sheathed sword, Wuji Taoist, and He Chang weren’t inclined to pay any attention to the golden elder, instead standing by the side of the cavern, only large enough to accommodate one person, extending their own strong divine senses, hoping to perceive something. No one dared to enter rashly.

About nearly an hour passed, and no unusual powers or sounds emerged from within the cavern. It seemed that Xue Huang, upon rushing into the cavern, encountered no danger.

”Going inside is our only path; the path we took to get here is gone, and there’s no going back.” The man with the sheathed sword looked around and said.

”Xue Huang went in, and nothing unusual happened. It seems there’s not much danger,” said He Chang, with the halberd on his back.

”Do we even have a choice? Let’s go in together. If there’s any danger, we can face it united!” Wuji Taoist said in a deep voice.

Ye Tianchen looked back at the golden elder, not far behind, who was circulating Martial Arts True Power to heal and said, ”Should we call this old guy along? Even though I really want to kill him right now.”

”This tomb is filled with too much mystery; it’s far too eerie. We almost lost our lives before even truly entering. In our current state, killing others is tantamount to killing ourselves. I think it’s better to obtain the treasures and legacies within this Martial Saint Tomb. If we make it out, then we can go on a killing spree. It would be far more meaningful that way!” The man with the sheathed sword said with a smile.

”I agree!”

”I second that.”

”Alright!”

”Since you all agree, I, the golden elder, have no reason to disagree. Let’s go!”

The golden elder stood up, although his complexion was somewhat pale and he looked rather haggard. However, this old man’s capacity for recovery was remarkably impressive, much to one’s surprise. Ye Tianchen was also startled at heart, realizing that the golden elder cultivated Demon Skills and had rich battle experience, making it not easy to kill him outright. Hu Gao would likely find it a challenging task to personally take down the golden elder in the future.

Ye Tianchen, the man with the sheathed sword, He Chang, Wuji Taoist, and the golden elder all exchanged glances, each harboring their own thoughts. Yet, at this moment, none dared take it lightly, as they had yet to truly enter the Martial Saint Tomb and were likely still at its periphery. One Xue Huang nearly cost them their lives; as the man with the sheathed sword said, killing others now was akin to killing themselves. To kill, they needed to leave the Martial Saint Tomb first, and only then would it be meaningful. (To be continued.
