The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Ye Xiu tested the strength of this soul cage. It was naturally no match for the soul cage of Qiongqi, but it was more than enough to trap Ye Xiu and the others.

The old woman lured Mo Qian into this forest because she saw that he could break free from the soul's cage. This dark forest is notoriously easy to enter but difficult to leave; if you want to get out, you'll have to see if your sense of direction is good enough.

What's more frustrating is that the two people Mo Qian brought in didn't seem to be very good at finding their way around.

While everyone outside was trapped in the soul prison, the situation inside was also far from optimistic.

The Dark Forest was completely silent, shrouded in endless darkness. As expected, Mo Qian and his companions got lost as soon as they entered the Dark Forest, after only a few steps.

The Dark Forest is full of twists and turns, not only with many winding paths, but also with numerous instances of being lost in a maze.

Huang Shaotian looked at the extremely familiar dark statue in front of him. Wasn't this the one he had seen when he first entered the Dark Forest?

"Old Mo, we, we think, we probably, seem to be, lost."

Mo Qian looked at Huang Shaotian speechlessly. There was no need to remind him; Mo Qian knew they were lost, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Make a mark and keep going to see what happens."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shaotian forcefully slashed at the dark statue with his sword.

After leaving a long white trail, Huang Shaotian followed.

What Huang Shaotian didn't notice was that after he finished making his mark, the dark statue suddenly disappeared when it was out of his sight.

It was as if this dark statue had never existed here at all.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when Mo Qian noticed that Huang Shaotian was running out of energy, he told the two of them to sit down and rest for a while.

"Ouch! I shouldn't have come in. I feel like my legs are about to break. I don't know how big this forest is, but I feel like the entire first floor is this dark forest."

Huang Shaotian complained, rubbing his legs as he walked; they were sore.

Mo Qian also felt something was wrong. According to common sense, they shouldn't have been walking for so long and still hadn't arrived.

Mo Qian quickly realized that something was definitely fishy.

"Hey hey hey! Old Mo! Look!"

Huang Shaotian glanced around casually, then shouted.

"Shaotian, you must stay calm in the face of things. You should learn from Lao Han. Lao Han wouldn't make such a fuss. What did you find?"

Mo Qian also came over, and his expression instantly turned serious. This was no small matter.

"How did this statue end up here?"

That's right, this is the statue that Huang Shaotian marked. It was right next to them, and Huang Shaotian hadn't noticed it until he curiously glanced around. He might not have even discovered the statue.

"Shaotian, are you sure this is a mark you made, right?"

Mo Qian pointed to the white marks on the statue and said.

“Yes, I’m absolutely certain that this was caused by my sword.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Qian understood and then slashed out with his sword.

"Splitting Mount Hua in two!"

This sword strike was quite powerful. If the dark statue were lifeless, it would definitely have been shattered by Mo Qian's sword.

However, Mo Qian's attack missed.

This surprised both Huang Shaotian and Han Wenqing. Huang Shaotian even prepared to tease Mo Qian:
"Old Mo, what's wrong with your aim? How come you can't even hit a statue?"

Mo Qian narrowed his eyes, looking at the statue warily. "Something's not right, Shao Tian, ​​Lao Han, prepare for battle."

Mo Qian's eyes were fixed on the statue.

Mo Qian was very confident that his sword strike could definitely hit the statue, but he didn't know why he missed. Mo Qian felt that the reason was in the strange statue itself.

Upon hearing Mo Qian's words, Han Wenqing immediately became alert, but Huang Shaotian felt that Mo Qian was making a fuss over nothing.

“Old Mo, I’m telling you, you’re just too wary. I think this statue is just an inanimate object.”

"Don't believe me? Look at my sword!"

As Huang Shaotian spoke, he suddenly activated his flash mode and charged straight toward the dark statue.

"The essence of light! Thrust!"

This was Huang Shaotian's strongest sprinting technique, but unfortunately, he missed and failed to hit his target.

Huang Shaotian also activated his flash mode. In the dark forest, Huang Shaotian's flash mode acted like a large lamp, illuminating many places.

It turns out that Huang Shaotian had only said that on purpose to lower the dark statue's guard.

However, what was unexpected was that the dark statue reacted so quickly that it could even react to Huang Shaotian's ultimate thrust.

"Can it detect the enemy of the shell?"

Mo Qian thought that this kind of enemy was the most troublesome. Mo Qian even felt that the reason they had been going in circles was because of this dark statue.

But Mo Qian didn't understand why he couldn't hit the statue; it didn't make sense.

Mo Qian's situation is not optimistic either, while Ye Xiu is still outmaneuvering the cage.

"It can't be broken. I wonder how Old Mo actually broke free of this soul prison back then."

Even when Ye Xiu activated his maximum potential and his brief ability to foresee the future, he still couldn't break free of this soul prison.

Even though this is so different from the last soul cage, it's completely useless without a soul attack.

"Fuck."

"I really need to learn how to use soul attacks next time."

Ye Xiu sat down helplessly, watching the old woman outside fiddling with something.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Ye Xiu said without any politeness.

At first, Ye Xiu might have respected the old woman, after all, she looked quite old.

But now, it's already a miracle that Ye Xiu hasn't gone out and stabbed her to death.

"Ugh, this pretense is so uncomfortable. Lord Qiongqi is really something, making me guard this place. Luckily, I managed to lure that handsome young man away first."

Under the stunned gazes of Ye Xiu and the others, the old woman peeled off her skin.

That's right, she shed her skin and transformed into a beautiful young woman.

"No, you're not an old woman."

"Who said I'm an old lady? Really, you don't know how to talk. But I still like that young man inside. It's a pity, no one who enters the Dark Forest ever comes out." (End of Chapter)
