Chapter 255: Someone got there first (2/2)
“Something I made up myself,” This time, Han Yunxi was telling the truth.
“Can it really melt through Xuan gold?” Even Gu Qishao had his doubts, much less everyone else.
“Let’s see!” Han Yunxi was very self-confident. She measured up the Xuan gold wall once again before ascertaining a spot and pouring her mixture there. Of course she wouldn’t be so stupid as to pour the thing all over the wall. She only needed to melt apart an opening big enough for a person to get though. Han Yunxi knew that time was tight, but she couldn’t rush such a procedure. She thickened the layer of liquid circle by circle, layer by layer. In the quiet room, everyone’s attention was focused on Han Yunxi’s hand. When the Xuan gold wall remained unchanged, every single member of the crowd grew more doubtful.
“Han Yunxi, will it work or not? The cave-in’s almost reached this point!” Tang Li asked anxiously.
“Poison lass, don’t play around with everyone’s lives,” Gu Qishao teased.
Only Long Feiye and the white-robed man remained silent. The white-robed man was watching with furrowed eyebrows as if he’d noticed something different with the Xuan gold wall, while Long Feiye’s attention was completely fixated on the white-robed man. It was then that a giant boulder suddenly crashed down from the ceiling to land right by Mu Linger’s leg. Frightened, she immediately held onto Gu Qishao. “Qi gege!”
Han Yunxi stopped her movements to look over, and Gu Qishao immediately pushed Mu Linger aside. Of course, he didn’t bother to explain himself but urged, “Poison lass, can you really do it?”
“Miss Yunxi, don’t try anymore. Look for the switch instead! It should be right on this wall,” the white-robed man said anxiously.
But it was then that a stream of liquid metal slowly flowed down the Xuan gold wall. At this, everyone grew startled. The white-robed man creased his eyebrows even further. “We won’t make it at this speed, this place is about to collapse!”
“Once it starts melting, it’ll speed up! Wait a sec!” Han Yunxi was very certain. In her hands was none other than hyper strength aqua regia!
Aqua regia was a very strong acid that could melt metals in small quantities. Hyper strength aqua regia was something that Han Yunxi had crafted herself, because sometimes she needed it when practicing medicine. Aqua regia melted metals relatively slowly, but this hyper strength aqua regia was different. A bottle’s worth was enough to help her take care of the obstacle in her way.
Just like Han Yunxi said, more and more liquid metal flowed down the wall at faster and faster speeds. Finally, it turned into a stream as a small hole appeared at the top of the door. It was completely see-through and showed them the scene on the other side. Everyone was stunned by the sight, even Long Feiye. Xuan gold had been coined as the world’s strongest material. Celestial Mountain Sword Sect had a treasure in its central peak that was a sword made out of Xuan gold. It was known as the world’s number one sword, but Han Yunxi actually had a way to destroy it in such a short time!
This woman was too frightening!
Very soon, the little hole grew bigger, revealing the scene behind it by degrees. Han Yunxi glanced inside and gave a start. She didn’t have time to explain about the hyper strength aqua regia, but cried out, “Jun Yixie and Duanmu Yao are in there!”
How…was this possible?
Long Feiye strode forward to look into the hole and actually saw the figures of Jun Yixie and Duanmu Yao. The vast chamber inside was completely empty except for those two. There was nothing else there, not even the poison beast.
“Could it be that there’s another entrance?”
“Where’s the poison beast?”
“How did they get there so fast?”
Tang Li asked multiple questions in a row, but Gu Qishao signaled everyone to be quiet and said, “Listen, it’s the sound of the poison beast.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another giant boulder smashed down from above. This time, it didn’t fall far away or at someone’s feet, but in its wake appeared…
