331 Eight-Doors Golden Lock Formation (2/2)
Chen Xiaobei reached inside his backpack while he explained the solution to Luo Puti. Retrieving a jade thumb ring, he slipped it onto his left thumb.
”That… That's the Cao Family's Duskdawn! How did you acquire it?” Luo Puti's eyes widened as she gaped at Chen.
”You are pretty knowledgeable…” He smiled in reply. ”This is a gift from Elder Cao. I didn't want it, but he insisted that I should have it.”
”Do you really think I'm some kind of idiot?” Luo Puti rolled her eyes at him. ”The Duskdawn is the Cao's family inheritance! It's priceless, so why would he simply hand it to you as a gift? And he insisted, on top of that? Do you really think you are some kind of deity he worships?”
”It's fine if you don't believe in me! I'm going to break the formation now!” Chen Xiaobei laughed evilly and charged ahead.
”Watch out! Stay aware of your surroundings! There are Copper Soldiers around you!” Luo Puti shouted worryingly.
”Don't worry! I have formed a hole in this formation! All I need to do right now is enter the Life Door on the south-east! This formation would then be broken!” Chen Xiaobei replied confidently.
Though many Copper Soldiers stood in his way, Chen Xiaobei, having figured out their movements used his Lightning Steps to avoid them. It was as if he entered a timeless zone! In almost no time at all, he bypassed their defenses, leaving the leader completely exposed. It's his final target!
”Break now!” Chen Xiaobei yelled and swung the saber in his hand. Demonic Dragon Apocalypse appeared, and its unstoppable force splits the Copper Soldier's leader in half! A blue spirit flew out from the corpse, but Chen was ready for it. He lifted up his left fist and charged at the blue spirit!
Through his Netherspirit Battlescouter, Chen Xiaobei could see that his left fist gleamed with golden light coming from the Duskdawn! It was its Yang-Gold attribute – the nemesis of all evil spirits!
*POW!*
A single punch, and the malevolent force was erased from this world.
”Hehe… So satisfying! Right in front of eight hundred Copper Soldiers, I've slayed their leader!” Chen Xiaobei stood and smiled proudly.
”Klang!*
*Klang!*
A hundred of the undead army stopped moving, turned around to face Chen Xiaobei and kneeled!
”I've solved it! Now, all eight doors will be unlocked!” Elated, Chen Xiaobei kept it up and charged at the next leader. With a slash and a punch, another door opened!
Three minutes later, he had unlocked the rest of the doors with the same method.
”This… This brat's pretty good…” Luo Puti was utterly shocked. She never thought that Chen Xiaobei could break a puzzle which she failed to break herself! And he did it as if the formation was a mere trifle!
She was genuinely impressed.
”Dumb Pumpkin! Don't just stand there like a deer! Come and collect the jade pieces!” Chen Xiaobei grinned. Both of them then collected all eight fragments of jade and put them together to form an octagonal jade plate.
*Klank*
Upon placing the jade plate in the middle of the arena, Chen Xiaobei could hear the sound of something unlocking. A secret passage was revealed in front of them, with stairs made of white marble that leading underground.
”Who is that?”
Both him and Luo Puti frowned. A shadow was dashing towards them!
