Chapter 524: Bone Bricks (1/2)

“Sir Lu Yun?” His daydreaming didn’t go unnoticed by the immortals following behind. They mustered their courage to hesitantly come forward.

“Is the interior of the celestial master tomb behind this wall?” The immortal that was speaking was a monster spirit immortal of the ten lands, and he looked at Lu Yun with intrepid eagerness.

The young man nodded in confirmation.

“Aha! Please, feel free to rest for now. Leave the wall to us!” The monster peerless immortal peered at the human youth with a hint of ingratiation.

Lu Yun had drawn a formation of heaven and earth for Zhao Zhicheng with the most casual of gestures. If he could get the human in a good enough mood, perhaps he would also be given one.

“Leave the wall to you?” Lu Yun blinked twice in surprised succession. The thief’s tunnel was only a few meters wide, but several hundred immortals were crammed in the small space.

“All of you should leave for a moment, you won’t be able to get through. Come back in when I open the wall up, alright?” He shook his head.

“I may not have experienced the void realm, Sir Lu, but a wall really shouldn’t be much of a problem…” The peerless immortal was a little miffed.

He was a monster spirit with several millennia of reputation, a renowned monster king of the ten lands. He was every bit as famous and strong as the Scaled-Dragon King, and Lu Yun’s dismissal ignited his competitive spirit.

The young man shrugged, then gestured toward the wall invitingly.

Grinning dashingly, the monster king produced a silver halberd. A flash of cold light later, an icy tempest slammed into the wall of bone.

Boom!

The entire tunnel trembled at the impact. If Lu Yun hadn’t reinforced it during the Scaled-Dragon King’s digging, the attack probably would’ve collapsed it outright. And yet, the wall of bone seemed completely unharmed. There wasn’t even the smallest scratch on its surface.

The monster spirit reddened.

“I, ah, I was worried I’d destroy the tunnel, s-so I held back there,” he stuttered.

“Don’t worry, give it all you’ve got this time! With my formations in place, even a dao immortal would have a hard time destroying the tunnel,” Lu Yun said through a half-smile.

“Alright!” The monster king took a deep breath and his halberd began glowing with the light of a combat art a second time. This time, a blurry image manifested behind the monster spirit; it looked like a huge beast made of snow and ice.

The temperature in the tunnel plummeted quite a few degrees when the image appeared, and frost crept over the surface of the ground.

“Open up!” the monster king roared.

Gleaming steel stabbed viciously into the wall of bone, sending ripples of energy outward. Some of the weaker immortals were sent flying by the mere aftershocks. A pale green light appeared upon the Scaled-Dragon King, extending out to guard Lu Yun and his two fans.

He’s about as strong as Jiangchen Xie, I think. Lu Yun gave his judgment after close scrutiny. A peak returned void cultivator looked to be as strong as a peak peerless immortal.

Unfortunately, the bone wall was just as unharmed as before, its smoothness almost mocking. The monster king gaped at the sight. The wall looked rather flimsy, honestly, so why…

“Why isn’t it budging?” He’d put all of his strength behind the attack just now; it was powerful enough to annihilate a city!

“Anyone else want to try?” Turning, Lu Yun glanced at the rest of the immortals.

Complete silence answered his question.

“Well, then. Out, please!” Lu Yun waved a hand. “Scaled-Dragon King, bring the girls outside too.”

“Yes, sir!” The monster Infernum obeyed every command to the letter and ushered the little nun and Yu Hengluo out.

The other immortals didn’t want to leave, but the Scaled-Dragon King’s example meant they didn’t have a choice. Lu Yun was probably going to use a secret technique that he didn’t want anyone else to steal!
