142: Guardian Demon Spirit is here in seconds

"There are over a dozen entrances here. Which one should we take?"

A Martial Artist asked, looking at the passage entrances before them.

"Each one leads into the tomb, any will do," the Third Prince said.

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, looking at each other.

"Third Prince, you should decide after all."

The Silver-haired old man looked at the Third Prince and said.

The Third Prince pondered for a moment, looking at the dozen or so passage entrances. Then, he headed towards the entrance directly in front of him.

The others followed closely behind, and the group quickly entered the passage.

Deep and silent!

Stepping into the passage, everything seemed to be cut off from the outside world.

The group was all on high alert.

Han Li still followed at the very end.

The passage emitted a dim, gloomy light.

Although Divine Sense couldn't probe the tomb's situation, Han Li could still sense the Aura of the Restrictions spread throughout the tomb.

After advancing about three hundred zhang, the group arrived in a large hall.

This hall was very vast.

It was over ten zhang high, with fluorite embedded in the ceiling.

Around the hall, there were six passages leading to different places.

Now that they were within the tomb, they could only proceed by intuition.

It was difficult to make a judgment here.

However, the Baoyue Imperial Family had entered here many times, so the information the Third Prince possessed was certainly more extensive than what they knew.

Surveying the hall, the Third Prince pondered for a moment.

Han Li, amidst the crowd, was also looking at the six passage entrances.

Among them, two passage entrances exuded an Aura.

This was the lingering Aura of Martial Artists.

Although very faint, it couldn't escape his perception.

These two passage entrances might have been where the First Prince and Second Prince led their people.

Just then, the Third Prince's gaze suddenly firmed, and he looked at one of the passages, striding in with large steps.

Seeing this, the others followed behind him and entered that passage.

The passage was winding and tortuous, more like walking through a maze.

After turning seven or eight times, the group, led by the Third Prince, arrived in another hall.

This hall had a total of three stone chambers.

Besides the three stone chambers, there was also one passage.

The doors of the three stone chambers were open, and there was nothing inside.

The Baoyue Imperial Family had entered many times, so any obvious treasures would have already been taken by those who entered before.

With a quick glance, the Third Prince continued his pace.

He headed towards the only passage.

The others followed silently behind him.

Entering the passage, Han Li walked and observed his surroundings.

It was pitch black and silent.

After walking for about a li, their vision suddenly cleared.

The group arrived in an even more expansive hall.

In the center of the hall stood a five to six zhang tall statue, carved in the likeness of an old man.

It was lifelike.

In front of the statue, there were also three black sarcophagi.

Around the hall, eight passages appeared, leading in all directions, to unknown parts of the tomb.

"This tomb is built like a maze, it's making my head spin..."

A young man couldn't help but complain.

Han Li stood among the crowd, his gaze fixed on the statue of the old man.

"Third Prince, could this statue be of Great Sage Baoxiang?"

Someone asked the Third Prince beside him.

"Mhm," the Third Prince nodded.

"Creak~"

At this moment, in front of the statue, one of the sarcophagi suddenly made a sound.

The sound wasn't loud, but for the Xiantian martial artists present, it was exceptionally clear.

Everyone instantly tensed, their gazes fixed on that one sarcophagus.

The sound just now came from the black coffin in the middle.

And at this moment, the lid of the black coffin moved, and a stream of black Qi flowed out.

Han Li frowned, silently taking a step back, True Qi protecting his entire body.

The others also simultaneously activated True Qi for protection.

The black Qi diffused, writhing in the air as if alive.

Watching this scene, everyone's nerves tensed even further.

"Hehehe~"

The black Qi condensed into a dark figure, letting out a burst of laughter.

"What the hell is that?"

Looking at the dark figure in mid-air, everyone's expressions were solemn.

"A mere Yin Spirit ghost dares to cause trouble!"

One of the Martial Artists showed an angry expression, striking out with a palm from a distance, which transformed into a fiery palm and instantly rushed towards the dark figure in mid-air.

However, when the attack landed on the dark figure, not only did the dark figure not dissipate, but it also devoured the attack, becoming even more solid.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this scene, the Martial Artists' brows instantly furrowed.

Devouring attacks, what exactly is this monster?

It seems to defy common sense!

At this moment, another person erupted with True Qi, a powerful Aura surging, but just as he was about to strike, the Third Prince suddenly spoke.

"Wait!"

Everyone's gaze instantly turned to the Third Prince.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

The Third Prince looked at the dark figure in the Void Realm, his expression grave: "Don't attack. This is the tomb's Guardian Demon Spirit."

"Guardian Demon Spirit?!"

Hearing the Third Prince speak, everyone looked at the writhing dark figure in the Void Realm.

"This is a Guardian Demon Spirit?"

"No way, its Aura doesn't seem like it!"

One person said.

Han Li also looked at this "Guardian Demon Spirit." Although it looked somewhat eerie, if this thing was said to be the tomb's Guardian Demon Spirit, he felt it didn't quite fit.

It just looked like an ordinary Yin Spirit.

Guardian Demon Spirit, that really seemed a bit out of place.

"Hehehe~"

At this moment, the dark figure let out a strange laugh, and just then, a bizarre scene occurred.

"Bang—!"

Among the crowd, one person silently collapsed to the ground.

"Xu Qing!"

One person, looking at the figure on the ground, immediately rushed forward.

The others' gazes fell on the fallen person.

Han Li's gaze also followed.

The person who collapsed was precisely the one who had just attacked.

At this sight, his pupils instantly contracted.

He's dead!

This Xiantian Second Realm Martial Artist died so silently.

Everyone's faces instantly changed dramatically.

With a whoosh, everyone's gazes simultaneously fixed on the dark figure in the Void Realm.

Could it be that this Guardian Demon Spirit was behind it?!

But how did it attack?!

No one noticed, not even Han Li knew how this person suddenly died.

"His spiritual will has vanished, his Soul is dead. Could it be that this Guardian Demon Spirit devoured his spiritual will?"

Han Li looked at the corpse on the ground, a thought surfacing in his mind.

Thinking about it, this possibility seemed very high.

Other than that, he couldn't find any suitable reason.

But how did it attack?

On this point, Han Li also couldn't figure it out.

"Alas... what a pity," the Third Prince sighed, looking at the corpse on the ground.

And at this moment, in the Void Realm, the Guardian Demon Spirit once again let out a cackling laugh.

"Beast, return my brother's life!"

Another burly man instantly flew into a rage, his eyes bloodshot, True Qi erupting from his body, striking at the Guardian Demon Spirit in the Void Realm.

"Don't!"

The Third Prince cried out, seeing this scene, but it was already too late.

The burly man's attack was once again devoured by the Guardian Demon Spirit, causing no damage whatsoever.

"Hehehe~"

After enduring the burly man's attack, the Guardian Demon Spirit let out another arrogant laugh.

"Bang—!"

The next second, the burly man's eyes suddenly widened, and with a bang, he collapsed to the ground.

Instant kill.

Another bizarre death.

"!!!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone instantly felt cold sweat trickling down their backs.

Another person died in a strange way, and without any resistance.

He died so easily.

Died silently.

No one knew how this burly man died.

He attacked the Guardian Demon Spirit, and then he was gone.

This damn sight was truly chilling!

"Indeed, it's a spiritual annihilation..."

Among the crowd, Han Li looked at the Guardian Demon Spirit, having been observing it carefully just now.

The moment the burly man died, his essence, Qi, and spirit were instantly annihilated by an invisible force.

This invisible force was spiritual power.

Even his Soul will felt a trace of terror.

"Both people died after attacking this Guardian Demon Spirit. Could it be that as long as one doesn't attack this Guardian Demon Spirit, they'll be fine?"

A thought surfaced in Han Li's mind.

Thinking of this, he was somewhat glad he hadn't attacked just now.

Although his Soul will had already manifested, that invisible spiritual power still made his heart tremble. If he had attacked, he couldn't be sure if he could withstand that invisible spiritual power.

This was also the first time Han Li had encountered such a bizarre situation after entering the Great Sage's tomb.

His previous recklessness instantly subsided.

The tomb of a Supreme Paragon was not a place where he could act without restraint, roaming freely.

Even a remnant of its power was not something a Xiantian martial artist could contend with.

The two Xiantian martial artists' corpses before them were living examples.

The air suddenly became extremely eerie. Everyone's gaze was fixed on the Guardian Demon Spirit in the Void Realm, not daring to move an inch, fearing that they would be next.

"I told you not to attack, why didn't you listen!" the Third Prince's voice rang out, sighing as he looked at the dead burly man.

The others' gazes simultaneously turned to the Third Prince.

"Your Highness, are you perhaps aware of what's happening?" a Martial Artist asked.

"Since Your Highness knows, why didn't you explain the situation beforehand?" another Martial Artist asked with a grim expression.

"Presumptuous, what do you think you are? How dare you question His Highness like that!" Before the Third Prince could speak, Leng Yue beside him immediately erupted with an Aura, her gaze coldly fixed on the Martial Artist who spoke.

"It's alright, Leng Yue. I understand their feelings. It's not their fault, it's my fault for not explaining the situation," the Third Prince said at this moment.

Immediately, he looked at the Guardian Demon Spirit in the Void Realm and sighed: "Everyone, I apologize. Guardian Demon Spirits are rarely encountered, and I didn't expect to meet one right after entering. I offer my apologies to you all here."

"Your Highness is too kind, but please explain the situation with this Guardian Demon Spirit. Why did these two die instantly?" a Silver-haired old man asked.

The Third Prince said, "The Guardian Spirit, according to the information in our Imperial Family's records, is a special spirit containing a trace of Great Sage Baoxiang's will, meant to guard him. Anyone who attacks the Guardian Spirit will suffer its backlash, dying instantly and having their Soul devoured. As long as you don't attack it, you'll be fine, but once you do, there's no turning back. The Guardian Spirit can mobilize the power of the tomb, so it cannot be resisted."

"Moreover, there isn't just one Guardian Spirit; there are many."

"What?"

"There are many Guardian Spirits?"

Hearing this, everyone was startled.

The Third Prince nodded: "Yes, there are many. In fact, there is only one Guardian Spirit; the one before us is just a part of it."

"Dong—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two black coffins vibrated, and two black Auras drifted out again.

Seeing this scene, everyone instinctively took a step back.

"Jie jiejie~"

Laughter rang out again, and two more Guardian Spirits appeared. Then, before everyone's eyes, the three Guardian Spirits fused into one.

In an instant, the Aura of the Guardian Spirit changed drastically.

An inexplicable pressure enveloped the depths of everyone's Souls.

It felt like a great mountain pressing down.

With the three spirits fused, their Aura had undergone earth-shattering changes.

This powerful Soul pressure made even Han Li's will and Soul tremble slightly.

However, compared to everyone else, Han Li was much better off.

"Jie jiejie~"

Now fused, the wild laughter echoed once more.

Everyone's faces were somewhat pale.

Such an Aura had increased by dozens of times, if not more.

This Aura seemed to truly match the words "Guardian Spirit."

"Everyone, don't panic. As long as you don't attack, the spirit won't harm you," the Third Prince's voice rang out.

Everyone stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move.

Attack… The previous example was right before them; who the hell would dare to attack?!

The fused Guardian Spirit seemed to become even more substantial.

Suddenly, this Guardian Spirit floated directly in front of Han Li.

Han Li and the Guardian Spirit were barely an inch apart, almost touching him.

"You, are not bad!"

Suddenly, the Guardian Spirit's voice rang out, very hoarse and ancient-sounding.

Hearing the Guardian Spirit speak, the Third Prince, not far away, looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes instantly widening.

And hearing such a remark from the Guardian Spirit so suddenly, Han Li was a bit bewildered.

"Thank you for the compliment," Han Li replied.

The Guardian Spirit suddenly turned and vanished into the statue of Great Sage Baoxiang, disappearing from sight.

If not for the lingering sense of oppression in their minds, they might have even thought it was just an illusion.

"How could the Guardian Spirit speak to Han Li?" At this, the Third Prince was completely baffled.

There was no mention of this in the records!

What did it mean by praising Han Li?

The Third Prince felt his mind was a bit muddled.

The records stated that the Guardian Spirit only contained a wisp of Great Sage Baoxiang's consciousness.

Its purpose was to guard the tomb.

Such a situation had never occurred before.

At this point, he was completely at a loss.

"It disappeared?"

Looking around the hall, a Martial Artist spoke softly, breaking the silence.

Everyone else also came back to their senses.

Their gazes turned to Han Li.

They had just heard with their own ears the Guardian Spirit praising Han Li.

Could it be that the Guardian Spirit could see through Han Li's talent? And thus praised him?

However, Han Li's strength was indeed extraordinary, not just ordinarily powerful.

But among everyone, only the Third Prince's heart was in turmoil.

He couldn't understand why the Guardian Spirit would praise Han Li.

His gaze fell upon the statue of Great Sage Baoxiang, his eyes filled with complexity.

He couldn't comprehend this situation.

"Third Prince, where do we go next?"

Beside him, a Martial Artist asked the somewhat dazed Third Prince.

The Third Prince quickly recovered, looked at the surrounding passages, and then at Han Li: "Brother Han, what do you think?"

Han Li: "..."

You're asking me?

Seriously, I followed you in. Haven't your ancestors visited this tomb many times?

You're asking me?

You've got it all backward... "Wherever Your Highness goes, I'll follow," Han Li said, kicking the ball back to the Third Prince.

The Third Prince looked at the intricate passages, glanced left and right, and then headed towards a passage on the left.

Everyone looked at Han Li, then followed the Third Prince into the tomb passage.

Han Li still followed behind the group.

The group continued deeper into the tomb... After passing through the passage and traveling for about a li, an even larger hall appeared before them once again.

In the hall, there was an even taller statue.

It was still the statue of Great Sage Baoxiang.

And in front of the statue, there were three bronze coffins.

Besides these, there were many more passages, leading to unknown parts of the tomb.

Aside from the passages, several stone chambers also appeared before everyone's eyes, but the stone chambers were empty.

Everyone's gaze fell upon the three bronze coffins.

Surely, these wouldn't contain those cursed Guardian Spirits again, would they?

Looking at the bronze coffins, everyone was a little scared.

Originally, with an expert like Han Li accompanying them, there had been no danger along the way, but as soon as they entered, two Xiantian martial artists had died.

They didn't even know how the Guardian Spirit had attacked.

Suddenly, everyone had developed a psychological shadow.

Just as everyone was observing this vast hall, footsteps suddenly came from one of the passages.

Everyone instantly perked up.

Their gazes turned to the passage from which the footsteps came.

Soon, a group of figures appeared in Han Li's and the others' sight.

The leader, wearing a golden crown, had an extraordinary demeanor, somewhat similar to the Third Prince, with a kingly Aura emanating from his brows.

His build was similar to the Third Prince's.

Behind him were thirteen people.

Eight were in the Peak of the Acquired Realm, and the rest were in the Xiantian Second Realm.

Stepping out of the passage, their gazes met.

The air seemed to solidify at that moment.

"Oh, it's you, Third Brother. I didn't expect you to come in too," the golden-crowned youth leading the group said with a smile.

"What, you want a piece of the pie here too? I'm afraid you're not capable," the golden-crowned youth sneered.

The Third Prince looked at the golden-crowned youth: "Second Brother, if you can come, why can't I? What, Second Brother, is this all the people you have left?"

The Third Prince's Aura was unyielding, and he immediately retorted.

From the words of the two, Han Li and the others instantly understood their identities; this should be the Second Prince of Baoyue Country.

"Third Brother, I am your elder brother. You are being a bit presumptuous," the Second Prince said, his face darkening.

"Second Brother, what did I say? I just said your people are too weak, isn't that the truth?"

The Third Prince said indifferently.

"What did you say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, behind the Second Prince, a burly, bearded man glared at the Third Prince, his tone cold, his gaze hostile.

The faces of the several people behind him also looked very bad.

"A dog dares to bark? Second Brother, you didn't tie your leash properly," the Third Prince said indifferently.

The Second Prince's face instantly turned as dark as water.

The burly, bearded man behind him was instantly enraged, taking a step forward and looking at the Third Prince: "You dare to call me a dog?"

The Third Prince glanced at the burly, bearded man, then at Han Li beside him.

Han Li's gaze was calm, without the slightest ripple.

A faint smile appeared on the Third Prince's lips as he looked at the burly, bearded man: "Are you not a dog?"

"You're courting death!"

The burly, bearded man instantly activated his True Qi, his figure flashed, his fist gathered Divine Light, shattering the air, and he charged directly towards the Third Prince.

But the Third Prince remained motionless in place.

Just as he was about to arrive, a golden light flashed, and a figure in green appeared in front of the Third Prince.

"Pa—!"

Han Li caught the burly, bearded man's furious punch with a single hand, his figure remaining perfectly still, like an old tree rooted. This power, enough to destroy a mountain, could not budge him an inch.

The burly, bearded man's pupils instantly contracted.

"Your Highness, how should I deal with him?" Han Li's voice rang out.

The Third Prince smiled brightly: "Brother Han, just do as you please."

"Kacha—!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out.

The burly, bearded man's fist was crushed by Han Li.

"Ah!"

With his fist crushed, the burly, bearded man instantly let out a painful roar.

However, in the next second, a golden light flashed, and the burly, bearded man's chest was directly pierced through.

Blood gushed out.

One punch, shattering the heart, blowing apart the internal organs.

With a bang, he was violently slammed against the hall wall, leaving a human-shaped deep pit.

If this tomb were not extraordinary, he would probably have been smashed right through.

An existence in the Peak of the Acquired Realm was instantly killed.

The Second Prince and his group behind him instantly had their pupils contract.

Pinnacle against Pinnacle!

How could he die so easily?!

How was this possible!

No Divine Ability or martial arts were unleashed; one punch directly shattered the True Qi defense, destroyed the heart, and pulverized the internal organs.

Was this the power possessed by an Peak of the Acquired Realm?

"Those who dare to disrespect the Third Prince must die!"

A chilling voice rang out, and in the next breath, before the Second Prince and the others could recover.

With a loud bang, the hall shook.

A golden light flashed, and another Peak of the Acquired Realm Martial Artist's corpse was sent flying.

The Second Prince was instantly terrified, activating his True Qi to protect his body.

However, Han Li did not lay a hand on him.

The Kun Peng Transformation Art erupted to its Peak, and wherever the golden light reached, one person fell.

Instantly killed, whether they were Peak of the Acquired Realm Martial Artists or Xiantian Second Realm, all were instantly killed.

Within a few breaths, more than half were dead.

This scene also made the Third Prince and the Martial Artists behind him tremble with fear.

Killing one person, they wouldn't be surprised, but... Han Li's movements were too fast; their minds couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his attacks.

"Third Brother, are you trying to commit fratricide?!"

The Second Prince shouted loudly, looking disheveled.

And at this moment, the Third Prince also came back to his senses and immediately spoke.

"Brother Han, that's enough, stop."

"Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slammed into the hall wall, spitting blood, falling to the ground, and instantly dying.

Third Prince: "..."

Except for the Second Prince, all thirteen people were killed.

A one-sided massacre!

Looking at the corpses on the ground, the Third Prince's heart pounded.

I told you to make a move, but just a slap in the face would have been enough. You... you killed them all!
