Chapter 199 Golden Scissors

Zhang Chen was immediately displeased when he heard this. He felt that Zhong Xiang was just trying to work without putting in any effort, which was really unreasonable. "What are you afraid of at the Ninth Order? It's not like you haven't fought against Ninth Order beings before!"

"This is not an ordinary ninth-level creature, but a species inherited from ancient times. It is born with a magical power called short-sightedness. This magical power is used to fix souls. Not to mention me, even a tenth-level being would not dare to leave its body when facing this thing. Even the powerful Yang God dare not manifest the Yang God in front of it. What do you think I should be afraid of?" Zhong Xiang ran wildly with his head down.

Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying existence in the tomb of the imperial daughter.

"Please buy me some time. I will set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. Once I have the formation ready, I won't be afraid even if that strange beast chases after me." Zhang Chen ran after Zhong Xiang's back.

"You're dreaming! How can I resist that old guy?"

Zhong Xiang said angrily.

Unfortunately, Zhong Xiang underestimated Zhang Chen's means. As Zhang Chen thought about it, a wall of water appeared in front of him, directly blocking Zhong Xiang's way. In this delayed time, Zhang Chen had caught up with Zhong Xiang and grabbed him. He used the water flow to roll him towards the pile of rats behind him.

"Zhang Chen, you will not die well! I will hate you for the rest of my life!" Zhong Xiang cursed angrily and was instantly submerged by the rats. Then flames broke out and Zhong Xiang turned into a flaming magma giant, killing the rats that pounced on him.

Zhang Chen did not dare to delay. The next moment, the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation appeared and transformed into runes, suppressing the void. Ten breaths later, the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation was set up. Then Zhang Chen looked at the struggling Zhong Xiang and said, "My formation is ready. Come in quickly and lure those rats over here."

At a glance, there were hundreds of thousands of advanced rats fighting with Zhong Xiang. Although Zhong Xiang's flames were powerful, the rats were fearless and not afraid of Zhong Xiang's methods at all.

At this time, Zhong Xiang turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen. He didn't say anything, but continued to struggle in the tide of rat beasts.

"He wants to take the opportunity to force out his potential and unlock his own seal." Zhang Chen saw through Zhong Xiang's plan at a glance.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen did not dare to go out at this time. There were too many rats, and they were all high-quality rats. He could not handle them at all.

"It's a pity that my beast taming skill is too low, just the second level. If I had enough points to raise the level of the beast taming skill, a mere mouse would not be worth mentioning." Zhang Chen muttered secretly in his heart.

Unfortunately, he has no more experience points.

Finally, at a certain moment, Zhong Xiang's body shattered and turned into a ball of fire. Then his body was directly reassembled and turned into a piece of stone and fell to the ground. The group of rats lost their target and rushed towards Zhang Chen in a mighty manner.

"They are just rats. No matter how many come, all will die." Zhang Chen stood in the large formation, accepting all the rats that came. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation was activated, and as soon as the rats stepped into the formation, Zhang Chen's cultivation was directly wiped out, and they were directly eliminated from the third and fourth levels to the second level.

The second level was just within his control range. Zhang Chen had a thought in his mind, and all the mice crowded together into a pile, gathered in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and turned around to kill their own kind.

As the overwhelming wave of rats was swallowed up by Zhang Chen, the existence deeper in the tomb seemed to sense something was wrong and let out a "squeak~" roar. Then the next moment, all the beasts disappeared, and then a pure white rat was seen crawling out from the depths of the cave against the beast tide.

The mouse was only the size of a fist, but it was as bright and shiny as jade, emitting a jade-like luster.

Soon all the rats in the entire passage disappeared, leaving only the silver-white rat standing in front of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, sizing up Zhang Chen's Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation with a pair of eyes. There was a hint of shrewdness in its eyes, but it just wandered in front of the formation, reluctant to enter.

"Boy, your talisman formation is quite good. Hand it over and I will spare your life." The jade-colored mouse looked at the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation with a pair of eyes. There was a hint of heat in its eyes, and it was obvious that it recognized the origin of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation.

"This is probably the first difficult trouble I have encountered since I started practicing!" Zhang Chen looked at the rat outside the formation. He could feel the ancient and vicissitudes of life on the other party.

I only have the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, but the other party refuses to come in. What can I do?
However, Zhang Chen was not panicked, because since he had decided to dig the tomb, he had anticipated this scene:

"Soul-catching skill!"

Zhang Chen thought to himself and activated his soul-snatching skill:
[Target: Rat]

[Information: Relying on secret techniques, forcibly staying in the world. ]

[Can be enchanting]

Seeing that the rat could be used to hook souls, Zhang Chen immediately relaxed. He stared at the rat in front of him, wondering if he could persuade it to retreat. If he could, then it would be a one-time solution. He could use the rat to guard the tomb and deal with other invaders, thus protecting the tomb.

If the other party refuses to retreat and insists on fighting me to the death, I don't mind hooking his soul into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation to make him suffer a little.

"I also give you a choice. What I have done is just to create the fortune of the Emperor's daughter in the tomb. If you are willing to retreat, then everything will be fine. Otherwise..." Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of coldness: "Although your cultivation is extremely high, I am afraid you will not be able to escape the disaster. It's a pity for your life."

Before Zhang Chen finished speaking, there was a sudden earthquake and he saw the ground cracking. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation collapsed along with the earth and actually shattered back to its original shape, turning into a talisman that floated in the void and finally drilled into Zhang Chen's body.

"What you rely on is nothing more than the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation in front of you. Now that I have broken your Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, what other cards do you have left?" The mouse's voice was full of pride:
"Boy, although you have cultivated the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, your strength is too low. If your Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation could cover a thousand miles of land, I might just retreat and never bother with you. But do you think a mere few hundred meters of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is worthy of my attention?"

The mouse approached Zhang Chen slowly, with a look of pride in its eyes, not taking Zhang Chen seriously at all: "My good fortune has come. With the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, how can I be afraid of the suppression of this Feng Shui formation? As soon as I am born, I can sweep the world and be invincible. Boy, hand over the treasure and I will spare your life, otherwise I will have to take it myself."

Facing the rat that was closing in on him, Zhang Chen did not dare to be careless, for fear that the other party would suddenly attack again and he would not even have a chance to fight back.

The next moment, Zhang Chen's soul-catching skill was activated, and the black and white world emerged. Zhang Chen's soul entered the black and white world and found that there was an extra chain in the world, one end was connected to Zhang Chen, and the other end was connected to the mouse in front of him.

As Zhang Chen thought about it, he grabbed the chain with his hand and pulled it hard. Then, a soul was pulled out from the body of the white jade mouse.

The next moment, Zhang Chen's consciousness withdrew from the black and white world and returned to his own body. He looked at the soul of the mouse in front of him, and it turned out to be the image of a little old man. However, this little old man had a rat-like face and eyes, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person.

"Is this the soul of the rat demon?" Zhang Chen looked at the soul of the rat demon in front of him and was secretly surprised.

"Boy, what kind of evil tricks are you using?" The mouse was horrified when he saw this, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Old man, have you thought about how you want to die?" Zhang Chen looked at the soul of the mouse that was condensed like a solid entity, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Boy, do you think you can do anything to me by drawing out my soul? You underestimate me." The rat demon looked at Zhang Chen with a mocking look, and the next moment he slapped out a palm and hit Zhang Chen: "Even if I don't have a physical body, killing you is just a slap."

With one palm strike, the skill protection mechanism took effect, just like a spring breeze blowing on the face, and the rat demon could not do anything to Zhang Chen. "How could this happen?" The rat demon was shocked when he saw this.

Zhang Chen smiled coldly: "Old fellow, I know your soul is very strong, and I can't do anything to you with my strength alone, but I have the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation. If you know the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, you should know how powerful this formation is. Wait for me to eliminate your cultivation, then kill your soul and send you away to face the calamity."

As Zhang Chen spoke, he took out the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation and was about to set it up again. Seeing this, the rat spirit immediately became anxious. How could he not know how powerful the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation was? He did not dare to ask Zhang Chen to really set up the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation. The next moment, his soul screamed, and countless rats crowded out from the bronze door and rushed towards Zhang Chen in a mighty manner, not giving Zhang Chen time to set up the formation.

In fact, the rat demon succeeded, because Zhang Chen really had no chance to set up an array. Facing the overwhelming rats, Zhang Chen hurriedly shouted to Zhong Xiang who was pretending to be dead: "Zhong Xiang, don't play dead, help me stop the rats. When the time comes, I am willing to work with you to jointly excavate this ancient tomb. As long as this old guy is alive, we can't go deep into the tomb. If I am killed by the rats, you can't deal with this old guy, and you can't escape alive."

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, the bell elephant on the ground realized the seriousness of the situation and turned into a ball of fire, blocking his way. Then the fire turned into a magma giant and attacked the group of rats.

Unfortunately, the soul of the rat spirit could not do anything to Zhang Chen, but that did not mean it could not do anything to Zhong Xiang. The soul of the rat spirit slapped Zhong Xiang from a distance, and Zhong Xiang exploded in an instant, turning into countless flames and dissipating into the void.

Even someone as strong as Zhong Xiang couldn't even hold out for a breath when facing the rat demon.

The next moment, a swarm of rats came rushing in, determined to tear Zhang Chen into pieces before he could set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Zhang Chen was shocked when he saw this scene. If he was pounced on by the rats, he would be turned into ashes in one encounter.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind in an instant, and then he saw a pair of gray and white scissors appear in his hand, and a pair of eyes looked ferociously at the soul of the rat demon.

Today, I will either cut the rat demon to pieces with a pair of scissors, or I will be eaten to death by the rat demon's controlled swarm of rats.

This thing has been worshipped by the Emperor Tribe and has been born perfectly. Although it has suffered heavy damage, it is Zhang Chen's only hope at the moment.

"How did this damn thing get into your hands! Stop it now, ancestor, I am willing to surrender! ancestor, I am willing to surrender." The moment the rat demon saw the scissors in Zhang Chen's hand, his expression changed drastically, and he obviously recognized the origin of the scissors.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen was afraid of the rat group and was worried that the old guy would cause trouble, so he just took the scissors, pulled the chain and cut the rat.

"No!"

With one snip of the scissors, half of the rat demon's soul turned into smoke, and the cut soul was actually absorbed by the golden scissors.

"Let me go!" The rat demon kept begging, his voice full of helplessness.

As he spoke, the rat demon stopped the attack of the rats and looked at Zhang Chen with a pleading face, his voice full of misery.

Zhang Chen was moved when he heard this: "What's going on in the depths of the tomb? How did you end up in the tomb?"

"I rebelled against the Emperor's tribe in the past and was suppressed here by the Emperor. Deep in the tomb, there was a terrifying demon who was suppressed. The demon broke a corner of the seal and released me. He asked me to dig out the tomb, destroy the Feng Shui formation, and then release him. But the golden scissors were too powerful, and I dared not break the last bronze door, so this matter was delayed." The rat demon was really scared and spilled everything out.

"What is the origin of that demon god? What is the current situation in the tomb?" Zhang Chen asked.

At this moment, a beam of white light burst out from the soul of the rat demon and shot towards Zhang Chen: "Boy, let me show you how short-sighted I am. Watch how I devour you completely..."

But the rat demon was disappointed. Under the protection of the skill, its short-sightedness was completely useless and it shattered directly when it met Zhang Chen.

"How is this possible!" The rat demon's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Old man, you still dare to play tricks on me!"

Zhang Chen didn't say anything and cut the rat spirit with the scissors again, and the rat spirit's soul completely disappeared.

Although Zhong Xiang was fighting against the rats, he was horrified when he saw Zhang Chen's method: "What the hell is this kid doing? He actually killed an old guy?"

As the rat demon died, the countless rats on the ground twisted and changed, turning into countless rat hairs, and all the rat armies disappeared.

The crisis was resolved. Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang, and Zhong Xiang looked at Zhang Chen. The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Zhong Xiang was frightened by Zhang Chen. A fiery red air current was seen flowing around him, which gave Zhang Chen no chance to attack him secretly.

Zhang Chen was cutting the air with a pair of scissors in his hand. The sound of the scissors echoed back and forth in the stone chamber, making Zhong Xiang's scalp numb.

After seeing how Zhang Chen killed the rat demon, Zhong Xiang became extremely fearful. Although he was unblocked at this time, he did not dare to attack Zhang Chen anymore.

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Chen asked tentatively: "Would you like to talk?"

To be honest, he really had no good way to deal with the bell elephant in front of him. Fortunately, he killed the rat demon and frightened the opponent, otherwise he would have had to escape in embarrassment.

And according to the mouse, there must be a big change deep in the tomb, and he might not be able to handle it alone.

Zhong Xiang didn't know whether to accept the offer or not. He wanted to talk, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only say "hmm" and stared at Zhang Chen with his eyes fixed on him: "What do you want to talk about?"

"The fortune inside the tomb is the most important. How about we join hands to explore the underground tomb? And you have heard what the rat spirit said. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the deep part of the tomb." Zhang Chen said:

"Besides, the people outside must have been alarmed and will come here soon. Or maybe they have already come but just can't find the entrance to the tomb for the time being. But we have melted so much magma, I think they will find clues soon. If the two of us fight underground, I'm afraid it will be an advantage for the guys outside."

Zhong Xiangbizi hummed, his face full of pride, which seemed to indicate that he agreed with Zhang Chen's idea.

When Zhang Chen saw Zhong Xiang agreed, a smile appeared on his face. Then he looked at the crystal clear body of the mouse in the cave and walked towards the mouse's corpse calmly.

This is a good thing! Maybe I can rely on it for my martial arts training. Even if I don’t need it, I still have my brothers and sisters.
