Chapter 574: The Mighty Mummy
Yun Lingfeng approached Mu Yao, his eyes showing concern as he spoke,
“If we unite our strength, our chances of success will improve.”
“Join forces, or none of us will stand a chance!”
Mu Yao briefly glanced at the approaching figure, disregarding it, and then addressed everyone. Her body was surrounded by golden light, with a dominating and fierce aura of demonic energy radiating out.
Given Mu Yao’s rank and power, as soon as she finished speaking, everyone gathered around her immediately.
Yun Lingfeng appeared slightly uncomfortable but quickly dismissed it. A smile crossed his face as he said to Mu Yao,
“Uniting our strengths would be the best course of action.”
“Boom!”
The skeletons appeared quickly, without delay. The first ones to arrive lunged straight at the nearest person.
“Boom!”
A fierce battle erupted, winds clashed, and sword light flashed across the battlefield.
“Ding dong…”
“Plop…”
But soon, someone spat blood and stumbled backward, unable to defend against the assault.
“Boom!”
Before long, all the skeletons had gathered. Eerie black light emitted from their hollow eye sockets, and tiny black spots began to appear on their once-pure white bones.
“We’re in serious trouble!”
Situ Muyang donned the Wind Battle Armor and went all out.
“Bang!”
Su Yi exchanged punches with a skeleton but was forced back, his breath uneven.
“Boom!”
Liu Yunchuan, too, had given his all. Amidst a brilliant display of lightning, his battle-worn armor glowed a pale blue. The air was filled with the ancient power of thunder, as crackling electric arcs danced around, sending out an overwhelming aura of terror.
Mu Yao’s elegant form was bathed in a golden glow. Her jade-like, fair hands shimmered with light, radiating an unmatched sharpness. The golden energy, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, formed an energy storm as she fiercely fought three skeletons.
“Ow!”
Under Yun Lingfeng’s feet, an illusion of a blood-eyed demonic wind wolf appeared, regal and terrifying. Its claws were sharp like hooks, its fangs glinted with deadly intent, and it radiated an aura of raw ferocity.
Yun Lingfeng’s robe fluttered, his hair whipped around as he stood atop the phantom of the demonic wind wolf. With unmatched intensity, he battled against several skeletons.
Just as Su Yi was thrown back, he quickly regained his footing. Suddenly, a strange skeleton darted towards him from the side.
Su Yi’s gaze grew cold, and a swirling light shone from his deep, profound eyes. A terrifying aura filled the space, carrying an ancient power that seemed capable of suppressing everything in its path. The Divine Demonic Ancient Verse reached its peak and unfolded before him.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
At that moment, all of them were pouring their energy into the battle, unleashing torrents of sword light that illuminated the sky.
“Puff…”
Despite their efforts, the peculiar skeletons proved too powerful. With a single strike, some of the fighters were sent flying, blood spilling from their mouths.
“Waaah!”
Suddenly, from the towering mountain peak, skeletons rapidly descended, scaling down the cliffs like monkeys.
Above, the sound of rushing air filled the sky as at least a dozen eerie swords, enveloped in dark light, materialized out of nowhere. They carried an overwhelming presence, floating in mid-air.
“We’re all in deep trouble now!”
Ouyang Ran stepped back, his gaze fixed on the growing number of skeletons and eerie swords around him. His face became grim.
Initially, the skeletons had been challenging enough, but now their numbers had increased, and the eerie swords were far more menacing.
“Zoom…”
In the void above, the eerie hum of the swords filled the air as brilliant glimmers of sword light, full of fierce intent to kill, rained down upon the group.
The oppressive aura overwhelmed them, creating turbulence in the surrounding space and filling everyone’s hearts with despair, as they realized they had no means of resisting.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the void trembled, and a brilliant golden light erupted. A wave of golden sword glimmers sliced through the air, completely blocking the ominous black light.
“Ding dong…”
Sparks flew as weapons collided, and the howling wind roared through the battlefield.
In the midst of the radiant glow, a slender figure emerged, holding a shining golden sword.
The onlookers stared in shock, realizing that this figure had just intervened to turn the tide of the battle.
However, as they took in the appearance of the newcomer, their gazes sharpened once again.
This wasn’t a human, strictly speaking, but a mummified body. It had not yet transformed into a skeleton. Its skin and muscles had withered and clung to its bones, while its face was a shriveled, dried piece of skin. Golden light gleamed from its eyes.
Yet, despite its appearance, the mummified figure exuded an incredible power.
“Is the Golden Rainbow Sword… could it be Elder Jinming, who reached the end of his life a hundred years ago?”
Gu Chenyou was stunned. It was the Golden Rainbow Sword, a weapon he had read about in the Divine Sword School. It belonged to Elder Jinming.
Gu Chenyou’s master’s master was Elder Jinming, which is why he had taken special interest in it.
Centuries ago, Elder Jinming had used the Golden Rainbow Sword to defeat many powerful foes.
Now, as the Golden Rainbow Sword appeared once more, and with the eerie occurrences in the Divine Sword Valley, Gu Chenyou couldn’t help but wonder if this mummified figure was truly the Elder Jinming who had passed away a century ago.
“Waaah…”
As the mummified figure emerged, the skeletons and the eerie swords seemed to sense its presence, all turning their attention toward the mummified form.
“Finally, so many of you have come! Quickly, head upstairs! Hurry!”
A rasping voice struggled to escape the mummified mouth.
“Wah wah…”
Under the mournful howling wind, the eerie swords suddenly surged, encircling the mummified figure.
“Swoosh…”
The eye sockets of the skulls glowed with dark energy, as they continued charging toward Su Yi and the others.
“Hurry, get to the mountain!”
The mummified figure bellowed, pushing its shriveled form to its limits. A boundless golden light erupted from within, while the Golden Rainbow Sword in its hand emitted a series of thunderous sword cries. Brilliant beams of light shot out, creating a whirlwind of sharp energy that blocked the assault of the eerie swords and skeletons.
“Whoosh…”
Yun Lingfeng, riding the elemental energy-formed blood-eyed demonic wind wolf’s phantom, rushed toward the mountain. The supreme treasures left behind by the Ancestor of the Divine Sword School lay atop that mountain, and he couldn’t afford to miss them.
“Let’s go, up the mountain!”
Gu Chenyou, Zhang Diyun, Jian Shiyi, and others, upon seeing this, summoned their elemental energy beasts beneath their feet and soared into the sky, heading straight for the mountain.
Mu Yao, Liu Yunchuan, Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, and others, recognizing the importance, wasted no time. The supreme rewards were their goal for entering the Divine Sword Valley.
“Boss Su Yi, let’s go,” Situ Muyang gritted his teeth. Despite knowing the risks, they had made it to the foot of the mountain and couldn’t afford to turn back. Given the circumstances, retreat was no longer an option.
“Go!”
Su Yi nodded, and his elemental energy converged into a pair of wings. He was about to take flight toward the mountain.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…”
At that moment, a figure fell from the sky. In mid-air, a fierce battle unfolded between the decayed corpse and the eerie swords. Sword lights filled the sky, cutting through the void. Yun Lingfeng and the others were affected, their energy illusions shattered, and they were struck through. Blood spurted from their mouths as they fell from the sky.
