Chapter 984: Qinglan Bamboo Sea? Sword Immortal's Tomb 3
In the depths, a translucent figure slowly emerged. The remnant soul of Ling Chen was standing on a broken sword hanging upside down, and twelve floating swords surrounded him. The dark blue light flowing on the swords made his face even more gloomy.
"Anyone who trespasses into the Sword Tomb...will die."
His voice was like a rusty iron sword scraping on a stone slab, causing pain in everyone's eardrums and causing the stalactites in the cave to shed fine stone powder.
"Everyone, cover your ears! This sound is more annoying than Xie Jin's morning court report!" Ming Wang Zhu Gaoxu shouted while covering his head, but was hit hard on the back of his head by Ming Emperor Zhu Di.
"Be careful of his Light Spectral Sword Technique!"
Before Ah Cai finished speaking, the twelve floating swords suddenly turned into streams of light, weaving a sophisticated sword formation of death in the air.
The long sword of Ming general Qi Jiguang danced with silver light, the sword of Tang general Li Jing drew an arc, and the sticky mucus spewed out by the Mohist mechanical beast condensed into a barrier in the air.
However, those floating swords turned nimbly like living things, and the sword tips brushed against the tip of Qin General Wang Jian's nose, shaving off a few strands of his beard.
"My precious beard!" Wang Jian screamed as he touched his bald chin. "This broken sword is more ruthless than Rong Mama's embroidery needle!"
Ah Cai narrowed her eyes and found that there was a faint blue core on the hilt of each floating sword, like a beating heart.
"Concentrate on the hilt! That's the weak spot!"
She shouted, brandishing the newly acquired fragment of sword intent, which buzzed in her palm as if echoing the rhythm of the battle.
Qin general Bai Qi turned into a black shadow, and the Zhuxian Sword pierced towards the core like a meteor; Qin general Wang Li's long sword followed closely behind, and the bamboo leaves broke wherever the sword energy passed.
Just when everyone thought they were about to succeed, the remnant soul of Ling Chen suddenly raised his hand, and a huge sword-shaped shadow appeared in the air: "Sword Intent Suppress!"
In an instant, everyone's weapons were covered with a layer of frost. Qi Jiguang's long sword was frozen and white mist was coming out, and Xie Jin's brush was covered with ice crystals.
"What the hell is this?" Emperor Ming Zhu Di's folding fan was nearly cracked by the cold. He stamped his feet anxiously, "I should have brought the spiritual heater from the palace earlier!"
At the critical moment, Ah Cai caught a glimpse of the bluestone in the corner - it was covered with sword marks, like a hedgehog pierced by thousands of swords.
"Sword Stone!"
She remembered the method of breaking the formation recorded in ancient books, and without saying a word, she flew forward and started hitting the stone with her bare hands.
The "bang bang bang" sound of the impact echoed in the cave, and the crisp sound of the sword was like the sound of nature, and the freezing effect was instantly lifted.
"The master's unique skills are even better than those of street performers!" Mozhe Zhao Qiao cheered as he controlled the mechanical beast. The mechanical beast took the opportunity to spray out a modified version of flame-retardant slime, drawing a rainbow in the air.
Everyone took the opportunity to launch an offensive, and the sword fragments suddenly burst out with dazzling light.
Ah Cai felt a warm current flowing into his meridians, and the fragments in his hand turned into streams of light and merged into the weapon.
When Ming general Qi Jiguang swung his long sword, a golden sword shadow was brought up, and the sword energy of Tang general Li Jing actually condensed into a solid blue dragon shadow in the air.
The remnant soul of Ling Chen let out an inhuman roar, and his translucent body began to solidify, with blood-colored patterns appearing on his Taoist robe.
"Am I knocking? Everyone be careful!"
Before Ah Cai finished speaking, the remnant soul Ling Chen had already raised the broken sword high: "Ten thousand swords return to the origin!"
In an instant, the thousands of broken swords on the top of the cave all came to life, forming a sword net in the air that covered the sky and the sun.
The magma on the ground also began to boil, turning into countless flaming swords that shot up into the sky, and the entire space became a purgatory of swords and fire.
"Help! Are you trying to wrap us up like sword-stuffed dumplings?" Emperor Ming Zhu Zhanji waved his folding fan to block it, and the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" painting on the fan was torn by the sword energy.
At the critical moment, Acai discovered that there were grooves on the wall that looked like scabbards.
"Hide in the scabbard shelter!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, and threw herself into the nearest recess first.
Everyone was frantically looking for cover. After Ming general Qi Jiguang pushed a few soldiers in, his armor was cut by the sword energy.
Ling Chen's remnant soul floated in the air, the dark blue light in his eyes almost materializing: "An ant trying to shake a tree."
He waved his hand casually, and all the scabbard shelters began to vibrate, with black corrosive liquid seeping out of the cracks.
Ah Cai felt a chill on her back. This corrosive liquid could even melt the stone wall. If it continued like this, it would sooner or later turn into a pool of blood.
"Mojia, listen up!" She thought quickly, "Use the mechanical rope to connect the scabbards! We will form a mobile fortress!"
With a wave of her jade hand, countless talismans were thrown out, and everyone was affixed with [Protective Amulet], [Vajra Talisman], [Detoxification Talisman]...
Mohists Meng Sheng and Xu Ruo immediately took out bamboo slips to do calculations, and the Mohists acted quickly.
Mozhe Zhao Qiao's mechanical beast spewed out high-strength alloy wire, connecting the scattered scabbards together.
When the first scabbard was penetrated by the corrosive liquid, the entire bunker group had begun to move flexibly.
"I never thought that I could ride a mechanical bumper car in my lifetime!" Ming Emperor Zhu Di shouted while grabbing the edge of the scabbard, his crown tilted so much that it was about to fall off.
Ah Cai took the opportunity to observe the attack pattern of the remnant soul Ling Chen, and found that every time before he used a big move, the sword-shaped mark on his chest would light up.
"Wait until he charges up and then attack the mark!" she shouted through the system channel.
Everyone nodded in tacit understanding. Qin general Bai Qi tightly grasped the Zhuxian Sword, Tang general Li Jing condensed sword energy in his palm, and Ming general Qi Jiguang quietly injected flames into his long sword.
Just as the remnant soul Ling Chen was about to launch his ultimate move, Ah Cai saw the perfect moment and said, "Go!"
Everyone's attacks shot towards the mark like meteors, and the power of the sword fragments completely erupted at this moment.
The golden sword energy, the silver spear light, and the blue mechanical beams intertwined together to form a gorgeous light net.
The remnant soul of Ling Chen let out a shrill scream, and cracks began to appear on his body.
However, he suddenly revealed a strange smile: "You think... that's all?"
A deafening roar came from the bottom of the cave, and a huge figure broke out of the ground - it was a mechanical giant composed of thousands of broken swords, with dark purple flames burning in its eyes and a huge sword core embedded in its chest.
"This boss also knows how to play Russian dolls?" Ah Cai was stunned. "If I had known, I should have brought some sunflower seeds to eat while fighting!"
The colossus swung its arms, and chains made up of countless broken swords swept across.
Emperor Ming Zhu Di was hit by the chains and somersaulted in the air: "Someone! Help me up! I can still fight for another three hundred rounds!"
Qi Jiguang cut the chain with one sword, but found that a new sword blade quickly grew at the broken end.
At the critical moment, the Qin general noticed that when the giant moved, there would be a brief flaw under its feet.
"Attack its ankles!" he commanded. "The Mohists prepare the trap, and the Civil Officials chant the armor-breaking spell!"
Mingchen Xie Jin immediately took out a small notebook and recited aloud with Yang Mingchen Rong and others; the Mohist people quickly set up traps on the ground.
When the giant raised his foot again, Qin general Bai Qi's Zhuxian sword accurately pierced his ankle, and Qin general Meng Tian's spear followed closely behind.
The giant statue fell to its knees with a loud bang, revealing the sword core in its chest.
Ah Cai raised the fragment of sword intent and shouted, "Final blow!"
Everyone's attacks converged into a brilliant beam of light, shooting straight towards the core.
Amidst the deafening explosion, the colossus turned into a rain of swords.
Ling Chen's figure also became transparent. He looked at the fragment of sword intent in Ah Cai's hand, and a complex light flashed in his eyes: "So... this is the true inheritance..."
As he faded, the cave began to crumble.
Ah Cai looked at the radiant sword fragment in her hand as system prompts rang out:
【Successfully defeated the guardian BOSS! 】
[Obtain special reward: Ling Chenzi's inheritance jade slip]
[Unlock hidden plot: The mystery of the sword immortal's fall]
"Retreat!" she called out to everyone, "This place is about to become a rain of swords!"
Everyone ran wildly in the rain of flying swords, and the cave behind them collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
When they fled from the sword tomb in a panic, the setting sun was dyeing the sea surface golden, as if the thrilling experience just now was just a dream.
"This trip was quite a haul!" Ming Wang Zhu Gaoxu said proudly, holding up his newly acquired sword. "But I almost lost my life."
Ah Cai looked at the jade slip in her hand, a smile on her lips: "Don't worry, the secret of the Sword Immortal's fall has just begun..."
