Chapter 850: Passing On Dao (1/2)

“Remember, dig a tunnel that’s only two meters wide. You just need to make enough room for safe passage for one person at a time!” Lu Yun reminded solemnly.

Bai Zhaoju nodded and waved a hand, sending his sword to where the human was pointing in a burst of light. Brilliantly flashing across the air, it quickly opened another passageway.

Whoosh!

A ball of blackish-red flames burst out of the new tunnel.

“That’s right, the real tomb is below. We need to hurry down there, we won’t make it if we’re too slow!” Lu Yun urged.

Hummm.

However, a bloody light erupted on his body first and a hazy figure barreled out from his figure, darting into the newly opened tunnel before them.

Poised to act, Bai Zhaoju immediately filled the passage in again when the figure rushed into it.

“Let’s go!” Lu Yun yelled.

Bai Zhaoju grabbed Lu Yun and hurtled toward the surface. At the same time, he kept brandishing his sword to collapse the thieves’ tunnel. By the time they returned to the surface, the passageway was entirely gone.

Lu Yun fell to a sitting position on the ground and panted heavily for air.

“Finally managed to get him!” He heaved another long sigh of relief and looked at where his feet rested.

“Who was that?” Bai Zhaoju’s heart also pounded fiercely. That bloody shadow had been too terrifying as it was on the level of a chaos realm powerhouse.

“Luo Houluo,” Lu Yun whispered. “Let’s go, we need to head for that mountain.”

“Lie Shan, I’m going to kill you!!” The earth quaked as Luo Houluo’s roar echoed from underground, full of terror and fuming with rage. That hadn’t been a thieves’ tunnel toward a tomb just now, but an express passage to a horrifying zone of danger.

Bai Zhaoju immediately picked Lu Yun up a meter off the ground and flew toward the mountain not too far in the distance. The ground continued trembling as they traveled—there seemed to be two enormous creatures fighting to the death in the plains. All sorts of lifeforms on the ground scattered and ran for their lives.

“Luo Houluo? That’s one of the most dreadful demons in the great wilderness! How did you manage to provoke him??” Bai Zhaoju shuddered and subconsciously picked up speed. His flying sword exploded in a shower of light and formed a protective silver dome around him. Anything that dared block their way was slashed to pieces by the magnificent sword light.

For some reason, the central zone of Suncrows Plain was in utter disarray. A mere celestial divine like Bai Zhaoju was nothing in the face of this violence.

“Calm down and don’t panic, I’ll share a sword method with you!” A sudden thought struck Lu Yun and he transmitted the Vast Dragon Seaturner, a method he’d invent in the future, into his partner’s mind.

Bai Zhaoju jerked.

“Sword dao! The sword as dao!” Great surprise welled up from his heart.

Sword dao naturally existed in this era as well, but this was a time in which primitive force reigned supreme. Directly manipulating the energy of all beings was the method of choice, and though sword dao was practiced by some, it was infinitely harder to walk the path of sword dao in an age of the unpolished, primitive great dao.
