Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

[Please remain where you are and wait for the corpse to devour you 1/1]

[Mission Reward! Ren and Du Meridians!]

...........

The moment the system's voice fell, Wu Tianjiao felt waves of tingling and numbness rising from his limbs and bones!

At the same time, indescribable syllables echoed in my mind. This time, there was no one! No illusions! There was only the sound of recitation!

"The Governing Vessel runs along the center of the back, with twenty-eight acupoints starting at Changqiang, Yaoshu, Yangguan, and Mingmen, then Xuanshu, Jizhong, and Zhongshu, Jinsuo, Zhiyang, and Lingtai, Shendao, Shenzhu, Taodao, Dazhui, Yamen, Fengfu, Naohu, Qiangjian, and Houding, Baihui, Qianding, and Xinhui, Shangxing, Shenting, and Suliao, and Shuigou and Duiduan on the upper lip..."

"The Ren meridian runs twenty-four times, hiding between the perineum and the two yin, above the qugu and at the Zhongji, then at the Guanmen, Shimen, and Qihai, at the Yinjiao, Shenque, and Shuifen, then at the Xiawan, Jianli, and in front of the Zhongwan, then at the Shangwan, Juque, and Jiuwei, then at the Zhongting, Tanzhong, and Yutang, then along the Zigong, Huagai, and Xuanji..."

Wu Tianjiao felt a buzzing sound echoing in his mind!

He was so limited by his knowledge that he had never heard a similar description before. He felt that if he could read the classical Chinese lessons carefully a few more times, he might not be so confused!

As a result, he can only understand two sentences now!

[Ren Meridian Opened! Du Meridian Opened!]

So, does this mean the system unlocked its full potential at this crucial juncture?

Chapter 261: Approaching "Chang Shiwan"!

Could it be that this unscrupulous system felt its body couldn't withstand the blessing of Chi You's bloodline and the Ancient Yellow Emperor Scripture, and therefore deliberately created this reward?

With his mind clear, Wu Tianjiao felt a cool sensation from his shoulder blades to his spine, with a strange flow of water meandering within it!

Eyes fixed ahead, arms retracted, and a swing was instinctively launched!

The fist was as fast as lightning, leaving a heavy mark on Chang Shiwan's lower abdomen, and the dull impact echoed in the air!

Chang Shiwan's body slid backward, and his bronze prosthetic limb left several deep white marks on the Shoushan stone floor!

Inside the main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire, Wu Tianjiao looked down at his fist, and a strange feeling arose in his heart!

With just a light swing, he achieved a level of power that most people could only dream of in a lifetime. The burning sensation on his back and shoulder blades was a continuous, warming feeling that was channeling power throughout his entire body!

Wu Tianjiao shifted his gaze to Chang Shiwan, who was standing motionless not far in front of him, and knew that the current situation was not very optimistic!

Although he had once again been granted the "invincible" status, he was able to stand undefeated against Chang Shiwan!

But what if there's a limit to how long your "unbreakable" state lasts?

Thinking of this, Wu Tianjiao made up his mind and stopped hesitating. He took a step forward and used the recoil force of the stone platform in the main tomb chamber to rush towards "Chang Shiwan" not far away!

Fists flashed and clashed, striking the opponent's stiff body one after another!

A series of muffled explosions echoed throughout the main tomb chamber!

The fierce force, like a tidal wave, pressed down on Chang Shiwan, rendering him unable to move!

"Hey! The Chi You bloodline truly lives up to its reputation!"

Wu Tianjiao was secretly amazed. At this moment, the power in his body seemed inexhaustible. Was this the bloodline originating from the primordial demon god? It was truly extraordinary!

No wonder, legend has it that Xiang Yu could lift a giant cauldron. At this moment, Wu Tianjiao felt that if he were given a bronze cauldron, he could also take on the challenge!

...

"Holy crap! Am I blind?! Wu Tianjiao is actually tearing this 'giant rice dumpling' apart with his bare hands?"

"This is General Chang Shiwan! If I'm not mistaken, the Imperial Army's crossbows couldn't even touch this general from a thousand years ago! How did you do that, Brother Tian?"

"By the way, Duan Tao, I see you are proficient in boxing. If it were you, could you handle the current situation?"

Wang Yueban subconsciously looked at Duan Tao, who was supporting Kong Zhengye beside her. In her memory, this man was a Muay Thai master, but he was also quite brave!

Duan Tao subconsciously glanced back at the bronze coffin not far away, his heart pounding wildly.

This stemmed from a soldier's "passion"—wanting to challenge a formidable opponent. However, looking at Kong Zhengye's weakened state beside him, Duan Tao sighed helplessly.

"This battle is beyond my capabilities; perhaps only my master can contend with it!"

.....

"Hey! You're just bragging!"

Wang Yueban curled his lip, indicating that he did not believe the other party's statement. He had asked the question earlier only to share his shock. Now that he heard Duan Tao say that his Muay Thai master could fight the "big zombie" in front of him, he, a tomb raider, did not believe it at all!

If such a powerful person truly existed, they would be someone who could shatter rocks with the force of their fists. Such a formidable figure would surely have been a legend in their circle long ago, and wouldn't have remained unknown until now!

Seeing Wang Yueban's somewhat disbelieving expression, Duan Tao didn't explain further, but simply said in silence:

"The ultimate level of Muay Thai can be born from the flesh—power! Also known as inch power! According to the ancient records of your Great Xia Federation, it can be called the mysterious and profound 'qi'! Such people are all rare talents in the world!"

"My master is one of them!"

..............

As Duan Tao's voice faded, Master Yuanxin, who had been squinting at the back of the crowd, slightly opened his eyes, a thoughtful glint in his pupils. He gazed at Duan Tao's retreating figure for a moment, then lowered his head and softly chanted a Buddhist prayer.

"Amitabha......."

........

"No! Fatty Wang! Wu Tianjiao is fighting tooth and nail with General Chang Shiwan in the rear, while you're wandering around here. When are we ever going to reach the tomb? If you keep lingering here, you'll just waste all the time Wu Tianjiao has bought for us!"

The burly young man, Jiang Jiaxu, carried a camera on his shoulder, rotating the lens to point at the back of Wang Yueban's head.

"Let me tell you! You fatso, I'm recording the whole thing right now. If you dare to make any moves... Hmph! Don't even think about it. Any 'objects' inside the main tomb of the Wang Qin Empire belong to the Federation. Don't even think about it!"

........

"I'm telling you, you..."

Wang Yueban was speechless. Jiang Jiaxu had been on the verge of death so many times, yet he still hadn't learned his lesson. He was so stubborn. Was his own life more important than the historical relics of the Federation?

This is truly hopeless!

Wang Yueban did not voice his inner condemnation. He knew the urgency of the situation and that danger was nearby. The Qiankun Compass in his hand spun faster and faster!

"Hey! There it is! We've arrived!"

Wang Yueban was excited; with the help of the eerie green flames burning on the Corpse Fiend Eight Trigrams Formation banner, he could clearly see the location of the tomb raider's tunnel...

Just a dozen or so feet ahead, a black hole, taller than a person, appeared on the Shoushan stone wall. This was created by him and Kong Zhengye's group using specially made small directional explosives.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the tomb raiders to penetrate such a thick Shoushan stone wall with just their Luoyang shovels!

Seeing the survival point right in front of them, everyone relaxed a little! Wang Yue stepped aside, letting everyone press themselves against the wall!

"You guys go up first, it's safe here for now. Fatty, while this Qiankun Compass is still useful, I have to return it to Wu Tianjiao! Otherwise, he won't be able to get out!"

.......

"Make way! Make way, I'm going first!"

The burly young man, Jiang Jiaxu, pushed his way through the crowd to get to the front. The exit was right in front of him; he couldn't care less about morality or ethics—at this point, getting out as quickly as possible was the priority!

Chapter 262: Black donkey hoof, a blow from a club!

Seeing this, Wang Yueban was so angry that she raised her foot to kick him, but Wu Xie stopped her! Wu Xie shook his head slightly, indicating to Wang Yueban not to worry about it and to deal with the problem outside!

"Hmph! Wu Xie, you're still the same, so naive and a pushover! Right now, inside the tomb of the Wang Qin Empire, everyone's life hangs by a thread. All lives are equal. If you don't fight for your life now, you might be the last one to leave and end up in the mouth of a 'zombie'!"

Looking at Wang Yueban's disappointed expression, Wu Xie awkwardly scratched his head:

"Let's prioritize peace; there's no danger right now..."

...

Wang Yueban rolled her eyes, watched as everyone climbed into the entrance of the tomb, and then nudged Wu Xie who was standing to the side!

"Hurry! If we don't go up now, something unexpected might happen!"

......

Wu Xie staggered back 16 steps involuntarily! His body clung to the edge of the tunnel exit, he glanced back at Wu Tianjiao, and turned to climb into the tunnel!

Just as Wu Xie's head poked into the hole!

Suddenly, a jade face mask appeared, its face covered in blood!

Face to face... face to face...

So close... almost touching...

Inside the main tomb of the Qin Dynasty, the eerie green flames ignited by the Corpse Demon Eight Trigrams Formation flickered incessantly!

Wu Xie's body stiffened, his eyes fixed on the jade face that had suddenly appeared before him!

Wu Xie's memories flashed incessantly in an instant, finally settling on a narrow tomb passage from before!

That was the first time Wu Xie had ever seen the jade face in front of him in his memory!

At that moment, Wu Tianjiao reached out and grabbed him, stopping him from his impulse to go forward and touch the jade face!

Because in Wu Xie's own understanding, the jade face sculpture in his eyes is just like a real person, and it is made using a jade carving technique called "skillful use of color"!

When I initially introduced jade as "skillfully utilizing its natural colors," I described it primarily as green, with some yellow, black, red, and white...

However, the jade sculpture of the human face in front of us is made of jade that is light yellow like human skin, with black and gray mixed in the facial features. This makes the jade artifact exquisite, lifelike, vivid and realistic, giving people a lifelike and vivid feeling.

Wu Xie didn't say it directly at the time, but in fact, during the Qin Empire, the carving technique of "using color cleverly" was just a superficial phenomenon. Behind it, every jade face statue that was restored one-to-one had to be designed based on a living person!

The person being sculpted must remain completely still to achieve such a lifelike appearance!
