Chapter 574: The Mighty Mummy
Yun Lingfeng approached Mu Yao and his eyes carried concern as he said, "If we join forces, our chances of success will be greater."
"Join forces, otherwise none of us will be able to handle it!"
Mu Yao glanced briefly at the approaching figure, paying no attention, and then spoke to everyone. Her body was enveloped in golden light, as a domineering and fierce aura of demonic energy spread throughout.
With Mu Yao's status and strength, as soon as her words fell, everyone immediately gathered around her.
Yun Lingfeng seemed a little embarrassed, but quickly shrugged it off. A smile appeared on his face as he said to Mu Yao, "It would be best if we all joined forces."
"Boom!"
Those skeletons appeared, wasting no time. The first ones to arrive immediately lunged towards the nearest person.
"Boom!"
People engaged in frantic duels, powerful winds colliding, and flashes of sword light swept across.
"Ding dong..."
"Plop..."
But soon, someone spat blood and staggered backward, unable to be an opponent.
"Boom!"
Soon, all the skeletons had gathered around. Strange black light burst out from their empty eye sockets. Tiny black spots appeared on their originally pure white bones.
"We're in big trouble!"
Situ Muyang put on the Wind Battle Armor and gave it his all.
"Bang!"
Su Yi exchanged a punch with the skeleton, but was pushed back, his breath surging.
"Boom!"
Liu Yunchuan had also given his all. Amidst the brilliant lightning, his worn battle armor gleamed with a pale blue hue. The aura of thunder and antiquity emanated, with crackling electric arcs flickering. A sense of terror filled the air.
Mu Yao's graceful figure was enveloped in a golden glow. Her fair, jade-like palms were covered with the radiance, emanating an unmatched sharpness. The golden light, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, formed a storm of energy as she bravely fought against three skeletons.
"Ow!"
Under Yun Lingfeng's feet, the illusion of a blood-eyed demonic wind wolf appeared, radiant and majestic. Its claws were sharp as hooks, its fangs gleaming, and its demeanor incredibly fierce. Its entire body exuded unmatched ferocity!
Yun Lingfeng's robe fluttered, his hair billowing as he stepped upon the illusion of a blood-eyed demonic wind wolf. With an unparalleled fierceness, he engaged in battle with several skeletons.
Just as Su Yi was pushed back by the impact, he managed to regain his balance. Suddenly, a peculiar skeleton lunged towards him from the side.
Su Yi's gaze darkened, and at the same time, a swirling light emerged from his clear and profound eyes. A dreadful aura filled the air, carrying an ancient essence that seemed capable of suppressing all directions. The Divine Demonic Ancient Verse reached its pinnacle as it unfolded before him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
At that moment, everyone was giving their all, unleashing torrents of sword light that filled the sky, without holding anything back.
"Puff..."
But at this moment, despite everyone's best efforts, they were still no match for the multitude of peculiar skeletons. With just a single clash, some were sent flying, spitting out blood.
"Waaah!"
Suddenly, from atop the majestic mountain peak, skeletons were descending rapidly, climbing down like monkeys.
From above the void, a whooshing sound echoed as at least a dozen eerie swords, wrapped in dark light, appeared out of thin air. They emanated an intimidating aura, hovering in mid-air.
"We are all in deep trouble now!"
Ouyang Ran stepped back, his gaze falling upon an increasing number of skeletons and those eerie swords around him. His expression became extremely solemn.
Originally, these skeletons were already difficult to deal with, and now there were even more of them. The eerie swords became even more terrifying.
"Zoom..."
In the empty sky, amidst the eerie whooshing sound of those mysterious swords wrapped in dark light, a barrage of dazzling sword glimmers, filled with fierce and intimidating killing intent, descended directly upon the group.
The terrifying aura enveloped, causing turbulence in the void and instilling a chilling sense of despair in the hearts of everyone present, as they understood that they were powerless to resist.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the void trembled.
A dazzling golden glow burst forth as a wave of golden sword glimmers broke through the air, completely blocking the mysterious black light.
"Ding dong..."
The weapons clashed, sparks flew, and the mighty wind roared.
In a burst of radiant light, a thin figure emerged in the emptiness, holding a shimmering golden sword.
The onlookers gazed in astonishment as they could clearly tell that this person had just intervened to save the day.
However, as the crowd laid eyes on the emerging figure, their gaze quickly intensified once again.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't a person, but rather a mummified corpse. It hadn't turned into a skeleton yet. Its muscles and skin had dried up, wrinkled, and clung to its bones. Its face was shriveled, as if only a withered piece of skin had been pasted onto it. The eyes gleamed with a golden light.
But at this moment, as the mummified figure appeared, its presence emanated an immense power.
"Is the Golden Rainbow Sword, perhaps, the Elder Jinming who had already reached the end of his life a hundred years ago?"
Gu Chenyou was astonished. It was the Golden Rainbow Sword - a weapon he had read about in the Divine Sword School. It belonged to Elder Jinming.
And his master's master, precisely, was this Elder Jinming. That's why he had paid special attention to it.
Centuries ago, Elder Jinming, relying on the Golden Rainbow Sword, had defeated numerous formidable opponents.
And at this moment, as the Golden Rainbow Sword made its appearance, coupled with the eerie changes within the Divine Sword Valley, Gu Chenyou couldn't help but wonder if this mummified figure was indeed the Elder Jinming who had reached the end of his life a hundred years ago.
"Waaah..."
As the mummified figure emerged, the skeletons and the eerie swords seemed to sense something, and they all invisibly fixated their attention on the mummified body.
"This time, so many people came, finally! Hurry up and go upstairs, quick!"
A wet, hoarse voice struggled to emerge from the mummified mouth.
"Wah wah..."
Under the mournful howling wind, the eerie swords suddenly burst forth, enveloping the mummified figure.
"Swoosh..."
The skulls' eye sockets glimmered with dark energy, as they continued to rush towards Su Yi and the others.
"Go quickly to the mountain, hurry!"
The mummified figure let out a hoarse, resounding shout, pushing its dried-up body to the limit. A boundless golden light burst forth from within, as the Golden Rainbow Sword in its hand resounded with thunderous sword cries. Brilliant rays of light shot out, forming a sharp storm that swept through the air and successfully blocked the vast array of eerie sword attacks and skulls.
"Whoosh..."
Yun Lingfeng, stepping on the elemental energy-transformed blood-eyed demonic wind wolf's phantom, instantly rushed towards the mountain. The supreme benefits left behind by the Ancestor of the Divine Sword School were on that mountain and must not be missed.
"Let's go, up the mountain!"
Gu Chenyou, Zhang Diyun, Jian Shiyi, and others, upon seeing this, each summoned their elemental energy-transformed beast shadows beneath their feet, soaring into the air and heading towards the mountain.
Mu Yao, Liu Yunchuan, Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, and others, upon seeing this, wasted no time. The supreme benefits, this was also their purpose for entering the Divine Sword Valley this time.
"Boss Su Yi, let's go," Situ Muyang gritted his teeth. Despite knowing the danger, they had already made it to the foot of the mountain and naturally couldn't afford to miss it. Moreover, given the current circumstances, it seemed there was no way to retreat.
"Go!"
Su Yi nodded, and behind him, his elemental energy converged into a pair of wings. He was about to fly towards the mountain.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
At this moment, a figure plummeted from the sky. In mid-air, a fierce battle unfolded between the figure of a half-decayed corpse and the eerie forms of over a dozen swords. Sword lights filled the sky, sweeping through the void. Yun Lingfeng and the others were affected, their elemental energy illusions shattered as they were pierced through, causing them to cough up blood and fall from the sky.
