I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 216 Flying Sword
Hearing this, everyone looked over nervously, but they saw that the leaves were too lush, and the goddess' body was very blurry, and they couldn't see it clearly. Everyone stared at her carefully through the mottled branches and leaves for a while, but there was no sign of her being alive.
"Are you dazzled? Don't be so shocked. Even if you are an ancient god, even if you have the protection of the Immortality Willow, you can't expect to live for tens of thousands of years." Liu Lin refuted: "Although the Immortality Willow can make people's bodies immortal, it can't make people's souls immortal. How can there be gods who survived from that era?"

"Yes, it's obvious that you are too nervous, you must have seen it wrong!"

"You scared me to death! You must have been scared out of your wits by the curse!"

"But I just saw that god's chest rise and fall, as if he was breathing." The man retorted unwillingly.

"Everyone, stop thinking too much. Let's break this protective barrier and see what kind of treasure is inside so we can divide it up quickly." Mr. Wuliu also came over, his voice filled with impatience, interrupting the crowd's booing, and looked at the green light shield with greed in his eyes.

He had excavated so many ancient tombs of gods and demons, but he had never seen such a vivid and well-preserved body. If he had the chance to obtain the blood of an ancient god or demon, he might be able to comprehend some mysterious changes in it.

"That's right, let's break the shield and take out the treasures inside." Zhong Xiang also came over with an eager look on his face.

At this time, Zhang Chen also mixed in with the crowd and squeezed forward without leaving a trace. He looked at the tree coffin with his eyes, and saw the hazy white clothes outline in the tree canopy through the mottled branches and leaves. A thought flashed in his mind: "This is the body of my eldest niece. I can't let these outsiders snatch it away. But these old guys are not simple. How can I snatch food from the tiger's mouth?"

While Zhang Chen was thinking about how to preserve the body of his eldest niece, Mr. Wuliu activated his Yin Shen power and struck the light shield, but the light shield was as still as a mountain, without even the slightest ripple.

"Huh, it's worthy of being the guardian object of the ancient gods and demons!" Mr. Wuliu thought to himself, and the next moment a white light burst out from his sleeves and hovered in front of him. The white light exuded an extremely powerful sharp aura, and the void was cut apart wherever it passed. The white light continued to vibrate in the air at a certain high-speed frequency, and the air emitted a series of explosions.

Zhong Xiang standing aside looked at the white light. Although the light was only a few feet in size, it had an indescribable sharpness, as if it could cut off a person's light.

The light was extremely bright, like red-hot steel, bright but not dazzling.

"I heard that Mr. Wuliu once entered a mysterious tomb and dug out nine swords in the tomb. It is said that the swords are made of Taiyi Geng gold and can be controlled by the soul. Could this sword be one of them?" Zhong Xiang looked at the sword with envy.

Taiyi Gengjin, that is the spiritual material born at the beginning of the world. Although it is not as good as the innate Gengjin, it is still a first-class divine object. This thing cannot be forged after birth. It is completely obtained by the big bang at the beginning of the world. It can be said that the less you use, the less you have.

“Yes, that’s it! If all nine swords are out at the same time, even if True Man Yangshen is here again, I can still compete with him, and I may not be inferior to True Man Yangshen.” Mr. Wuliu’s eyes flashed with pride, and the next moment, the sword in front of him turned into a white stream of light that cut through the air. There was no sound during its flight, and it directly slashed on the green protective shield.

"This sword is too sharp. Its speed is definitely faster than the speed of sound. But because it is too sharp, it cuts through the air without even reacting." Zhang Chen's pupils shrank as he watched from the side. "Thank goodness Mr. Wuliu didn't use this treasure to hunt me down before, otherwise I would be in real trouble. I wonder if my Five-Colored Divine Light can wipe it off."

Zhang Chen's mind flashed with thoughts, and he looked towards the light shield: "Such a terrifying and sharp blow can easily pierce even steel, so the light shield should be pierced, right?"

The stream of light directly slashed at the light shield, but the light shield remained as still as a mountain and did not react at all.

Then, in Zhang Chen's shocked eyes, the white light was actually bounced back, revealing its true form, which was a sword that was only 20 centimeters long, two fingers wide, and had no hilt. The sword only had a blade, no hilt, and looked very strange.

"It's worthy of the methods of the ancient gods and demons." Zhang Chen secretly praised in his heart when he saw this scene.

Mr. Wuliu was horrified at this moment. He quickly recalled his sword into his sleeve, then hurried forward to check the barrier. He seemed unable to believe that a simple energy barrier could actually block his attack.

But Mr. Wuliu was disappointed. His sword hit the light shield, but there was no damage to the light shield.

"This green light shield is probably not a magical power to protect oneself, but a mysterious and strange thing." Mr. Wuliu gave his conclusion after observing it carefully for a while.

"Sir, even you can't break this light shield. Who else here except you has the ability to break the light shield?" Liu Lin on the side said in amazement, looking at Zhong Xiang as he spoke.

At this time, Zhong Xiang was observing the scenery inside the protective cover through the mottled gaps between the branches and leaves. When he sensed Liu Lin's gaze on him, he couldn't help but frown. It was really unpleasant to be morally blackmailed by others, but as a junior in the Confucian school, he couldn't say anything to contradict him in this seniority-based occasion.

As expected, as Liu Lin finished speaking, the young man who had transformed into a donkey head said, "I heard that Master Zhong Xiang can fight against Yang Shen. Even if a Yang Shen strongman faces Master Zhong Xiang, he will not get any benefit. Perhaps I have to trouble Master Zhong Xiang."

"That makes sense. Master Zhong Xiang possesses the Heart of the Qilin. Even True Man Yangshen would be wary of him when he meets him. How can a mere protective light shield stump Master Zhong Xiang?" Zhang Xiaohua on the side chimed in.

"I'm afraid Master Zhong Xiang won't help..."

"We came here to avenge Mr. Wu and hunt down that bastard Zhang Chen, and that's why we were cursed. Now the solution to the curse is most likely hidden in the light shield. Master Zhong Xiang is famous for his righteousness, so why would he just watch us die without helping us?"

"That's right, Master Zhong Xiang is not that kind of person! Wang Dan, stop talking nonsense and slandering Master Zhong Xiang! Be careful or I, Zhu Xia, will never let you go!"

Those called Wang Dan and Zhu Xia were both young men, no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old. They were the geniuses of Confucianism. Although their reputations were not as great as Zhong Xiang, they were definitely top-notch core figures.

Zhong Xiang's strength lies in power, while the strengths of these two people lie in knowledge.

The two were the pride of Confucianism, their knowledge far surpassed that of Zhong Xiang and others, but they were always suppressed by Nan Qilin and Bei Zhuge, feeling very aggrieved. They thought that their knowledge was not inferior to others, but they were suppressed by Zhong Xiang, a brute with only brute strength. They felt very aggrieved. You must know that since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. The essence of Confucianism lies in culture. How could the two be willing to submit to Zhong Xiang?
Now there was a chance to squeeze out Zhong Xiang and allow the two of them to also obtain the legendary mysterious opportunity, so of course they tried their best to squeeze him out.

Zhu Xia was now reprimanding Wang Dan with great righteousness, his voice full of excitement: "What kind of person is Master Zhong Xiang? His brilliance is as great as the sun in the sky. How can an ant like you slander him?"

"How did I slander you? Before, we wanted to enter the tomb to avenge Mr. Wu, but who knew that Young Master Zhong Xiang would block us outside the tomb in order to hide the treasure in the tomb, and let the thief go unpunished. It's not that I think too much, but what Young Master Zhong Xiang did really makes people think too much. For the sake of his own fortune, he even ignored the hatred of my grandfather. How could I not think too much?" Wang Dan was not convinced by the rebukes of the crowd and kept shouting.

"Wang Dan, you are so narrow-minded! How can Young Master Zhong Xiang be that kind of person? He stopped us just now because the risks in the tomb have not been eliminated and he didn't want us to take risks. Don't you think so?" Liu Lin turned his head and looked at Zhong Xiang at this time.

Zhong Xiang was so angry that he clenched his fists in his sleeves when he heard this, but he could not move. These guys were too good at bullying others. Now everyone was in collusion with each other and used moral kidnapping. As a Confucian disciple who believed in benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, he had to abide by this rule.

So Zhong Xiang forced out a dry smile at this time: "Yes, I am not that kind of person. You all underestimate me. I will try and see how powerful this light shield is. Even Mr. Wuliu's flying sword can't break it."

At this moment, Zhong Xiang wished he could beat Zhu Xia and Wang Dan to death. He felt disgusted to the extreme, but he had to take action to smash the light shield in front of him. He was being used and driven by this disgusting group of people.

"It's so frustrating!" Zhong Xiang cursed in his heart, "Damn bastards, don't let me find a chance, or I will take revenge sooner or later."

Zhong Xiang came in front of the light shield, and the next moment, flames burned all over his body and he attacked the light shield.

Facing Zhong Xiang's Qilin Flame, the light shield finally reacted and began to ripple. Mysterious runes flowed on the green light shield, but Zhong Xiang's cultivation was too low, and he was unable to unleash the full power of the Qilin Fire. Although the light shield was rippling, it still could not do anything to the light shield.

After a whole incense stick of time had been burned, the light shield was still just rippling and flashing green runes.

"Everyone, come together and give Young Master Zhong Xiang a helping hand." Seeing that Zhong Xiang was unable to break through the light shield, Mr. Wuliu quickly called out to everyone, and then everyone took action and attacked the light shield.

However, the platform was so small that even though there were hundreds of people present, only a few dozen of them could take action. Everyone worked together to attack the light shield, but they saw ripples forming in the light shield, which directly dissolved everyone's attacks without causing any waves.

The damage caused to the light shield by everyone working together was not as great as that caused by Nan Qilin Zhong Xiang alone.

In the crowd

Zhang Chen secretly looked at the green light shield with golden light flashing in his eyes. He saw mysterious green aura flowing around the green light shield. The green energy condensed into runes, flashing bright light that could not be seen by the naked eye. The countless runes made chains of order, forming a skeleton connected together to support the green light shield and keep everyone out.

"This green light shield is a mystery, and it is only slightly inferior to my Hou Tu deity. My Hou Tu is a twelfth-level mystery, and the green light shield in front of me... should be at least tenth-level, or even eleventh-level. Even if the True Yangshen comes, he can only stare blankly and cannot do anything about the light shield in front of him." Zhang Chen muttered secretly in his heart.

Yang Shen is only a ninth-level being, how can he shake this light shield?
Zhong Xiang retracted the flame at this time and stood in front of the light shield with a gloomy face: "I can't break this light shield."

Mr. Wuliu, who was standing by, also had a gloomy expression on his face. "This thing is at least a 10th-order mystery. It is worthy of being called the Tomb of Gods and Demons. Even if it is a protective barrier, it has reached the 10th order. This thing is definitely not something we can shake. The protective barrier is still a 10th-order one. I really don't know what kind of incredible fortune is inside the protective barrier. Could it be the 12th order?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were suddenly filled with excitement. That was a twelfth-level mystery. Once he grew up, he would be able to rival the royal family of the Great Victory Kingdom.

"The treasure mountain is right in front of us, are we going to return empty-handed?" The little prince Zhang Xiaohua's eyes turned red at this time.

This is a secret of the tenth level, which cannot even be found in the Palace of Prince Pingbian!

Especially the defense of the owner of this item, it has absolute defensiveness. If you can get it in your hands, you can’t imagine what kind of incredible power it will bless you with.

Especially for the strong ones who have cultivated the Great Dao of the Soul, it would be a miracle if they could obtain this thing.

"Except for the two twelfth-order mysteries of the Great Victory Dynasty, I really can't think of any power in this world that can break this light shield." Zhong Xiang stood on the high platform with a gloomy face, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhang Chen, wanting to ask that strange guy if he could find a way to crack it.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen ignored Zhong Xiang's gaze and deliberately shifted his gaze away. He didn't want to be the first to stand out.

Everyone in the field wanted to tear his skin apart. If his figure was revealed, he would be killed by everyone before the barrier in front of him was broken.

When Zhong Xiang saw that Zhang Chen ignored him, he felt helpless. The treasure was right in front of him, but everyone was helpless and could only watch helplessly. Who could understand this kind of frustration?

And everyone knows that the news of the tomb cannot be concealed for long. The Dasheng royal family may have already sensed the aura of the tomb's emergence, and there may be powerful people on the way.

Any delay will increase the unknown risk.
