163: Chapter 163 Jade Statue

Just as Fan Ling's palm was about to touch the treasure, a sudden change occurred!

The jade statue holding a giant pestle suddenly had its empty eye sockets burst with light, as if awakened by some kind of power.

Its thick arm swung the stone pestle, carrying a dull wind pressure, and smashed down fiercely toward Fan Ling below!

The look of excitement on Fan Ling's face was instantly replaced by terror.

His thin, withered figure retreated explosively in the blink of an eye. At the same time, his sleeves fluttered, and he hastily sacrificed a shield-shaped Magical Artifact glowing with cyan light to meet the thunderous strike.

Clang—

The stone pestle collided violently with the Magical Artifact shield, erupting with a deafening sound of metal clashing against metal.

Fan Ling's figure flew backward, his arms trembling from the impact, and he exclaimed in horror: "A Qi Refining Perfection Puppet!"

As expected, the treasures were not so easy to take. The twelve jade statues before them were not decorations at all, but a test for those seeking the treasures!

Each statue guarded one treasure.

After knocking Fan Ling back with one blow, the jade statue did not stop at all, its massive body displaying an agility inconsistent with its jade material.

The stone pestle in its hand stirred up a strong wind again, and it chased directly after Fan Ling.

"Come help quickly!" Fan Ling shouted in a hurry when he saw this.

Another Fan Family Cultivator's face changed drastically, filled with fear, but he dared not hesitate and immediately sacrificed his Magical Artifact to rush forward and assist.

The Bihai Society Cultivators exchanged glances, cold light appearing in their eyes.

Taking advantage of the Fan Family being entangled with the statue, they avoided the battle and headed straight for the treasures on the jade platform.

In an instant, the eyes of the other eleven jade statues in the hall all lit up with ghostly light.

Some held swords, some held seals, others formed hand seals. The spiritual power fluctuations around their bodies erupted, turning into twelve terrifying auras of Qi Refining Perfection, sweeping through the entire hall like an invisible tide.

All the statues moved in unison, no longer distinguishing targets, and launched an indiscriminate, violent attack on all intruders in the hall!

"Idiots!"

Fan Ling couldn't help but curse loudly when he saw this: "Activating all twelve statues at once, how the Hell are you supposed to fight them?"

Facing one Qi Refining Perfection statue was already tricky enough, but now they had to face twelve at the same time; the difficulty had directly skyrocketed to Hell level.

Stone swords broke through the air, Dharma seals suppressed downward, and the light triggered by spiritual arts exploded in the hall.

The originally solemn and quiet hall instantly turned into a slaughterhouse.

Su Xuanheng and Wei Yan were also drawn into it, the sword light they had been building up for a long time slashing out with a boom.

While both sides were fiercely clashing, a Bihai Society Cultivator snatched one of the Jade Slips, feeling ecstatic.

He immediately used an escape technique, turning into a stream of light and shooting toward the outside of the hall.

Just as he was about to rush out of the hall door, the faint formation patterns on the floor and pillars of the hall intertwined and lit up, forming a giant light shield that covered the entire hall.

The Bihai Society Cultivator was caught off guard, and with a 'bang', he slammed hard into the light shield, his figure stalling violently, and his escape light suddenly dissipated.

A three-meter-tall statue approached rapidly, the stone pestle in its hand carrying an irresistible force, smashing down without any bells and whistles!

"No—!"

The Bihai Society Cultivator only had time to let out a short cry of surprise.

The stone pestle smashed solidly onto his back, his protective spiritual light shattering like paper, and he exploded into a puddle of blurry flesh on the spot.

Everyone caught a glimpse of this tragic scene out of the corner of their eyes, and their hearts trembled, a chill rising up their spines.

Fan Ling was wolfishly defending against the statue's fierce attacks, feeling both anxious and angry, and couldn't help but curse sharply:

"Stop fighting on your own and stop thinking about the treasures! Let's join forces to deal with these statues first!"

Facing the simultaneous siege of twelve Qi Refining Perfection statues, with one Bihai Society Cultivator dead, only six of them remained.

The key was that none of them had reached the Qi Refining Perfection level.

Fan Ling didn't even know how they were supposed to win. He kept cursing the Bihai Society Cultivators for being stupid; if not for their greed, if everyone had joined forces to break the statues one by one, perhaps everyone could have shared the treasures.

But in the current situation, not only would they not get the treasures, but they were also very likely to all die here.

Just as Fan Ling was in despair, a cold and a hot energy, two completely different energies, suddenly erupted out of thin air in the hall!

The former was bone-chillingly cold, as if it could freeze the Soul; the latter was scorching and wild, as if it could burn everything to ashes.

The two violent Sword Intents intertwined and collided, merging into an unstoppable torrent of Sword Qi that whistled through the air and pierced through the entire hall!

Everyone looked over in horror.

They saw Su Xuanheng and Wei Yan standing side by side, their eyes like lightning, surrounded by Sword Intent.

The long sword in Su Xuanheng's hand burst out with blinding golden light, brilliant like a scorching sun in the sky. As he slashed, a silhouette of a vast sun actually appeared in the Void Realm, emitting a scorching power capable of burning the sky and boiling the seas.

Wherever Wei Yan's sword tip pointed, moonlight poured down. The cold Sword Intent condensed into a bright, cold moon. Wherever the clear radiance reached, the air froze, and the vitality of all things seemed to be strangled by that chilling coldness.

"Sun and Moon Shining Together!"

Su Xuanheng and Wei Yan shouted simultaneously, pointing their sword tips forward.

The instant the sun and moon shadows collided, Yin and Yang rotated, light and darkness intertwined, transforming into a Yin and Yang grinding disc.

Boom—!!!

The Sun and Moon grinding disc moved in response, carrying the will to crush everything, sweeping across toward the two jade statues rushing forward!

The two statues bearing the brunt, their tough jade bodies, the moment they touched the grinding disc, were like ice crystals thrown into a furnace, instantly annihilated and decomposed! Not even a trace of jade debris remained; they were completely turned into powder!

Rumble!

The grinding disc did not lose its momentum, plowing a terrifying trench several feet deep into the ground, and crashed irresistibly toward the two statues behind.

They tried to resist with the stone swords and Dharma seals in their hands, but under the crushing force of the Yin and Yang grinding disc...

The stone swords shattered, the Dharma seals dimmed!

The massive bodies of the statues were squeezed and twisted amidst the creaking sound of the grinding disc, and finally, with two 'bangs', they exploded into scattered jade fragments filling the sky.

Four Qi Refining Perfection statues vanished into ashes in an instant!

At this moment, it was as if a pause button had been pressed in the hall.

Fan Ling opened his mouth wide, forgetting to even wave the Magical Artifact in his hand, and the other Fan Family Cultivator froze in place, his eyes wide open.

The remaining three Bihai Society Cultivators were even more pale, their eyes filled with unbelievable horror.

Everyone's pupils shrank drastically, their hearts seemingly gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

Sword Intent Phenomenon!

This scene was deeply branded into the minds of everyone present, making their hearts cold with fear and shocking them beyond measure.

Two Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators of the Su Family had actually simultaneously unleashed a Sword Intent Phenomenon, instantly killing four Qi Refining Perfection Puppets in seconds!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and only heard it recounted by others, they would definitely think that person was crazy.

But how was this possible?!

How could a Qi Refining Cultivator master Sword Intent, let alone mobilize a Sword Intent Phenomenon?

The Su Family was hiding things way too deeply!

Fan Ling and the others felt no joy at this moment, only a chill down their backs. They knew the Su Family's secret; would they still have a chance to leave alive?

With the Sword Intent of Su Xuanheng and Wei Yan, they were simply invincible existences within this cave heaven!
