Chapter 141 - The Volcanic Sword Mound (2/2)

(⊙ o ⊙)

That’s… way too fast, isn’t it? Wasn’t it said that the bubbles can absorb any kind of attack? It’s freaking messing with me.

“My master says one strong man can overcome ten!” Yi Qing explained, seeming to have sensed that Xun Shu being extremely confused. He then faced Shen Ying and said, “Master, we can move on now.”

“Oh, thank you for your hard work!” Shen Ying nodded. Unmoved, she walked over the broken pieces on the floor.

Xun Shu: “…”

Lonemoon patted his shoulder with a knowing look. “It’ll get better as you get used to it!” They’re just a big cheat and a mini cheat. You’ve already seen the big cheat, haven’t you? Why should you make a fuss out of the mini one?

They walked in a single file toward the inside of the volcano. For a long while, all they saw was darkness. The pathway was filled with dust, as if no one had been in there for a long time.

Lonemoon flicked his wrist and conjured a fire seal to light up the walkway. As they walked, he looked around for raw materials, wondering where would be a good place for them to stop and dig.

Unfortunately, while the path was old and worn, it was clearly meticulously designed. Everything around was arranged so neatly; there wasn’t even a side road to be found. It had no business value whatsoever. As they got closer and closer to the inside of the volcano, the walls became smoother and the pathway broadened. It looked as though the volcano had been dug empty. They reached a vast space scattered with stone pillars. They could not see the end of the space from where they were standing. It was hard to estimate exactly how big the inside of the volcano was.

“Be careful!” Xun Shu exclaimed. He ran forward and pulled Lonemoon, who was right in front, backward.

They heard a ding, and an immortal sword landed tip first on the ground in front of Lonemoon.

Lonemoon jumped. “What happened?”

No sooner was the question out of his mouth did the immortal sword begin to shake in its place, as if they activated a switch. All around, immortal swords appeared, revolving around the same spot to form a cyclone of swords. A great burst of sword Qi charged toward them.

The few of them had no choice but to retreat. They saw a few flashes of light and then the entire surroundings lit up. Only then were they able to see what exactly was happening.

Swords! There were immortal swords everywhere. There were countless of them and they all seemed alive. They danced dangerously in the vast space in front of them, as if taunting them and threatening to shred them to pieces if they dared to move any closer.

“Another sword array!” Lonemoon frowned. It did not look easy to combat that.

“This is the Myriad Image Sword Array,” Xun Shu introduced.

“Myriad Image!” Lonemoon started. Then, his expression fell. “This is the legendary sword array which even the divine race cannot get rid of?” Lonemoon learned about this array when he was going through the ancient records back at Qing Tong Immortal Abode. Could it be more than a legend?

“It should be!” Xun Shu nodded. “I don’t know how to get rid of this array. It looks like we have no choice but to use all our might.”

“Oh, well…” Lonemoon looked again at the dense sword array and turned around, announcing decisively, “Let’s turn around!”

“What? Wait!” Xun Shu pulled him back in utter disbelief. “You’re… you’re giving up just like that? You sure you don’t want to go in and take a look?”

“That’s right!” Lonemoon nodded as if it was obvious. “Didn’t you say we shouldn’t go? It’s almost time anyway, we should head back! What’s more, I didn’t see any raw materials on the way here. Who knows if there are any inside?” Instead of wasting time here, they would be better off picking up the waste materials outside.

Lonemoon gestured toward the other two. “Let’s go, Shen Ying and Yi Qing.”
