140: The Ice Coffin Woman, Qin Xiong Comes to Take

Young Master Lu took a slight step forward, and with a 'buzz', Sword Qi vibrated, and a strong wind suddenly rose, directly forcing Young Master Lu back several steps, his Qi and blood surging.

The others were not much better; some with lower cultivation directly vomited a mouthful of blood.

Young Master Lu slightly adjusted his breath and looked at the large sword in the sky.

He had originally thought it was a formation, but he didn't expect it to be Sword Qi guarding this place.

For this Sword Qi to still be so strong after several hundred years, it was hard to imagine how powerful the person who left it here originally was!

After the sword's hum forced everyone back, the great sword returned to normal, its blade still pointing downwards, Sword Intent crisscrossing, but only within a certain range.

"What exactly is down there?"

Fu Liang couldn't help but lean forward slightly, but he didn't dare to get too close, crouching and craning his neck, wanting to find out, but the distance was really a bit far, and he couldn't see what was below.

Young Master Lu took out the jade token Cheng Ran had given him, gripped it tightly, and then walked forward step by step.

Sensing everyone's approach, the Sword Qi swept out again!

This time, the Sword Qi came even more violently, the surrounding ice surface was shattered into dust, carried like a surging river, pressing down!

Young Master Lu's expression remained unchanged as he took a few more steps closer, holding the jade token.

The others immediately gathered their Spiritual Qi, forming shields to protect themselves.

Fu Liang was preoccupied with himself but still added a layer of protective shield for Young Master Lu.

"Hoo!"

When the Sword Qi struck the jade token in Young Master Lu's hand, it suddenly stagnated.

The jade token lit up, and the Sword Qi dissipated instantly.

The strong winds subsided, and the great sword in the sky also hummed once before standing horizontally, its blade pointing in the opposite direction from Young Master Lu and the others.

"It's fine now, let's go."

Young Master Lu put away the jade token and walked towards the sunken area.

The others also withdrew their Spiritual Qi, looking at the great sword in the sky with some apprehension, fearing any sudden movement.

Young Master Lu walked to the edge of the sunken area and looked down.

He saw that this sunken area seemed to have been dug out by some monster's sharp claws in a short time, with rough sides all around.

In the very center of the bottom, a crystal ice coffin lay horizontally.

Inside the ice coffin, a figure could vaguely be seen.

"Holy crap, there really is a corpse!"

Fu Liang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Young Master Lu leaped down and walked towards the crystal coffin.

The others followed suit, but the members of the Qin Family, who had been standing at the back of the group, did not move.

All the Qin Family members looked at Qin Wan, awaiting her instructions.

Qin Wan's eyes were full of struggle, and she looked at Young Master Lu and the others with even more hesitation.

Soon, Qin Wan thought of something, sighed slightly, and was about to lift her foot to follow.

By her ear, a voice from a Qin Family member came, "Qin Wan, you haven't forgotten what the Patriarch said, have you?"

Qin Wan stopped in her tracks, sneered, and glanced over, her eyes full of coldness, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but now it seems you have forgotten. The Patriarch said that all actions this time are to follow my orders. What? Are you going to disobey?"

That person naturally didn't dare, but he still added, "It's best if Sister Wan hasn't forgotten, otherwise if this mission isn't completed, you'll have to take full responsibility!"

Qin Wan chuckled softly, "No need for you to worry!"

After speaking, Qin Wan followed them.

The rest of the Qin Family immediately followed closely behind.

Young Master Lu came to the side of the ice coffin and finally saw the person lying inside; it was clearly a woman.

This woman had skin like congealed fat, a face like peach blossoms, and three thousand strands of hair pressed behind her. Even with her peach blossom eyes closed, she possessed a certain charm.

Dressed in simple green and white, it made her skin appear even whiter, like a goddess.

Young Master Lu stared at her from head to toe, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed something unusual and immediately fixed his gaze on the woman's chest.

He saw that her chest actually rose and fell slightly!

Alive?!

This wasn't a corpse, it was alive?!

Young Master Lu discreetly looked around, then moved slightly closer to Fu Liang, lowering his voice, "Did this person just breathe?"

Fu Liang carefully looked at the woman, scratched his head, "Really? Young Master Lu, don't scare me! This person is frozen stiff, look at her hands, they're covered in ice shards. How could she still be alive?"

Young Master Lu stared again for a long time, but the person didn't move an inch.

Could it be that it was just an illusion?

Young Master Lu suppressed his thoughts and took out the Storage Ring he had prepared beforehand; this was given by Meng Yanxing, specifically for holding this item.

Just as the Storage Ring approached the coffin, Young Master Lu suddenly stopped.

"Young Master Lu, what's wrong?"

Fu Liang was a bit confused; the mission was almost complete, so why did Young Master Lu stop?

Young Master Lu narrowed his eyes; only he saw that the marker for Qin Xiong was rapidly shortening, now within a hundred meters, and for a strong person like Qin Xiong, a distance of a hundred meters could be covered in just a breath!

"Hoo!"

A powerful Spiritual Qi enveloped by Spiritual Pressure rapidly pressed down; the others were unprepared and were directly knocked unconscious by this Spiritual Pressure!

The moment the Spiritual Pressure attacked, Young Master Lu's Spiritual Qi suddenly surged, forcefully taking on this Spiritual Pressure belonging to a Fourth Grade Peak expert!

Qin Xiong's figure was concealed behind the Spiritual Pressure, holding a large hammer, and smashed it directly over!

Qin Xiong descended at an extremely fast speed, and the downward swing of the hammer actually produced bursts of air explosions.

The large hammer rapidly grew in Young Master Lu's vision, reaching his face in an instant!

Young Master Lu quickly raised his hand, his sword was drawn, and he slashed horizontally!

"Boom!"

The two weapons immediately collided, the power of Fourth Grade Minor Achievement and Fourth Grade Peak clashing together.

Immediately, the ice beneath Young Master Lu's feet shattered with a roar, countless ice shards flew everywhere, enveloping the two.

Qin Xiong could only see Young Master Lu resisting him with his sword, but the rest of him was covered by the shattered ice. He immediately exerted force, and a boundless Spiritual Qi rose out of thin air, smashing down fiercely again!

"Hoo!"

"Boom!"

There was the sound of a heavy object smashing through the air; Young Master Lu suddenly retracted his sword and retreated, landing dozens of meters away!

The heavy hammer hit the ground, completely shattering the already broken ice surface.

"Crack!"

Cracks erupted from this point, rapidly spreading in all directions; with a faint crisp sound, the entire sunken area collapsed several meters deeper again!

Qin Xiong was still covered in ice shards; he quickly mobilized his Spiritual Qi, and a strong gust of wind blew away the things blocking his vision.

Dozens of meters away, Young Master Lu's figure reappeared in his sight.

Qin Xiong held the large hammer in his left hand and gave Young Master Lu a disdainful smile, "Young Master Lu, thank you for opening this place. After I go back and claim my reward, I will definitely burn incense for you."

Qin Xiong reached out his right hand to the side, wanting to touch the ice coffin, but his right hand searched left and right, unable to find the ice coffin.

He immediately turned his head, only to see that the coffin, which had been placed perfectly, was conspicuously gone!
