94: The Abnormal Sword Tomb

"That old beast, it seems he has his eyes on the key in my hands." A murderous intent flashed in Li Jiangchen's eyes.

Previously, he had arrived at the market without concealing his aura or appearance, yet the Four Seas Alliance Grandmasters here had not come to seek revenge at all.

This was normal; the Four Seas Alliance was a loose coalition of various Sects in the outer seas, with many internal factions, and there were plenty of people who only cared about their own business.

Right now, this Four Seas Alliance Grandmaster suddenly jumping out was nothing more than being driven by profit.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiangchen said disdainfully, "That would require Your Excellency to be able to catch This Li."

After speaking, a Five-colored Escape Light emerged beneath his feet, shooting into the firmament and darting toward the Sword Tomb.

The speed of his flight was so fast that it immediately caused a stir.

In terms of flight speed alone, beneath the Pseudo-Saint level, there were very few Grandmasters who could catch up to Li Jiangchen.

"Little thief, where are you running!"

The square-faced Grandmaster of the Four Seas Alliance roared and gave chase rapidly.

According to the information just revealed, once the person holding the key enters the Sword Tomb, they would have a chance to teleport within a radius of ten thousand miles.

He must intercept and snatch the key before he entered the Sword Tomb.

However, the square-faced Grandmaster's flight speed was too slow, and he could only watch helplessly as Li Jiangchen disappeared before his eyes.

Just as he was sighing in his heart, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Is Your Excellency looking for me?"

Whoosh—the radiance of a Formation emerged all around, the power of the Five Elements circulating and transforming into a chilling murderous intent.

"This is... the Five Elements Reversing Yin-Yang Formation!" the square-faced Grandmaster exclaimed.

This Formation was Shan Cheng's life-bound Spiritual Artifact; how could it have fallen into that person's hands?

Could it be... The square-faced old man suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Thinking back, the two Grandmasters, Shan Cheng and Fang Yan, had not appeared, and he had originally thought that Li Jiangchen had used some special method to shake them off.

Looking at it now, the two of them must have met their end.

"Little friend, I fear there might be some misunderstanding here..." The square-faced Grandmaster, capable of bending and stretching, immediately cupped his hands and forced a smile onto his face.

No one answered; the response was Sword Light filling the sky.

With the Five Elements Reversing Yin-Yang Formation added to the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation, the Immortal Sword Domain, and the Demon Kingdom in the Palm, the power, bolstered by multiple Domain forces, was no longer what it once was.

Furthermore, the Chixiao Sword had been upgraded to the level of a Spiritual Artifact by the Fire Crow King, its might soaring; even without absorbing the power of the earth fire, every move and style was enough to threaten a Grandmaster.

A moment later, the Sword Light filling the sky merged, transforming into a giant crimson sword that could sever the heavens, crashing down and instantly piercing through the square-faced Grandmaster's body, shattering his Golden Core.

With a suction from his palm, the corpse and the Golden Core were both fed to the demon soul.

"The Four Seas Alliance really is like a persistent ghost. However, this move is enough to deter those petty people."

Li Jiangchen looked toward the Void Realm, snorted coldly, and then dashed toward the Sword Tomb, disappearing from everyone's sight.

At this moment, several figures darted out from the Void Realm; they were the Grandmasters who had been secretly watching the battle, and looks of shock and suspicion appeared on their faces.

"Could this person be that Little Sword King? Truly impressive means; fighting a Grandmaster while in the Quenching Fiend Realm, he possesses the spirit of the Sword Saint Dugu of the past."

"Heh, the Four Seas Alliance has really kicked an iron plate this time. In the future, once that Little Sword King breaks through to the God Viewing realm, I fear there will be some fun to watch."

The Four Seas Alliance had been overbearing for too long and naturally had offended many parties; there were plenty of powers happy to see them suffer a setback.

On the other side, Li Jiangchen stepped into the Sword Tomb and immediately sensed that the surroundings were filled with Yin Qi.

Casting a glance, he saw disheveled heads floating in the hall, each holding a cluster of eerie green ghost fire in their mouths, illuminating the surroundings.

"How can the tomb of a Sword Saint be so strange?"

Li Jiangchen frowned slightly and then looked toward the side hall in front of him; stone doors came into view.

Among them, many stone doors had been opened, and inside the stone chambers, besides a stone coffin, there were actually doors leading to the rear.

Besides this, sounds of fighting could faintly be heard coming from several stone doors.

"A total of one hundred and eight stone doors..."

Li Jiangchen dashed into a stone door on the left and saw a stone coffin placed inside the stone chamber, with head-shaped lamps appearing at the four corners.

Clang—Sword Qi slashed out, violently pushing the stone coffin open, and a black shadow darted out from within, attacking Li Jiangchen.

"Zhutian, slash!"

Li Jiangchen took a step forward, injecting a massive amount of True Qi into the demon slaying sword, and swung his sword; he felt as if he had slashed into a ball of cotton, but the erupting Sword Qi still cut the incoming black shadow into two halves.

However, the black shadow that had turned into two halves actually writhed, rapidly absorbing the surrounding Yin Qi, with half-bodies growing and turning into two black shadows.

The powers of the Demon Kingdom and the Sword Domain erupted, and the two major fields fused; instantly, the two shadows were plunged into a quagmire, imprisoned and unable to move.

"What is this thing..." Li Jiangchen asked in confusion.

The Demon Flood Dragon King darted out from the Demon Kingdom and, upon seeing the black shadow, exclaimed in surprise, "There is actually Yin Fiend here?"

The next moment, the Demon Flood Dragon King's dragon claw churned, emitting the aura of a Divine Ability, transforming into a mass of shadows that bound the two black shadows, swallowing them into its belly in one gulp, with a look of joy appearing on its face.

"Master, this subordinate once obtained a memory Legacy from our Shadow Dragon ancestor; this monster is called a Yin Fiend. Similar to the likes of Sword Fiend, it is a monster that only breeds in places where Yin Qi is prosperous."

"Yin Fiend?" Li Jiangchen looked toward the floating head lamps in the surroundings, feeling it becoming increasingly strange.

What exactly happened in this Sword Tomb?

Sss-sss—three stone doors suddenly appeared on the walls of the stone chamber, and looking through them, one could see that behind them was a brand new stone chamber.

"So, one must slay the monster inside the stone coffin to enter the next room..." Li Jiangchen speculated, his gaze looking into the stone coffin, and a trace of joy immediately flashed in his eyes.

He saw a black flower the size of a millstone growing inside, with dark flowing light streaming on it, as if it had merged into the shadows; if his Spiritual Sense had not been powerful, he might have missed it.

"A Fourth-Grade Heaven And Earth Treasure, the Yin Spirit Flower; you certainly have a good appetite."

With a casual toss, the Yin Spirit Flower traced an arc in the air and was swallowed by the Demon Flood Dragon King in one gulp.

"Thank you, Master."

Subsequently, Li Jiangchen randomly chose a stone chamber and stepped in.

Just like before, opening the coffin, killing the monster, taking the treasure—the whole process was like flowing clouds and moving water.

The items in the coffins were varied and diverse—Heaven And Earth Treasures, Secret Manuals, Magical Artifacts... and so on.

Unfortunately, there was still no sign of the final fragment of the Immortal Sword Body.

At this moment, a large number of Martial Artists entered, choosing a stone chamber to step into.

Among them, the Star Sword King and the Void King were the fastest.

Both were Pseudo-Saint level powerhouses; none of the Yin monsters in the coffins could last a single move in their hands.

Clang—a beam of starlight Sword Qi darted past like a fish; the headless zombie body in front of them, which was comparable to a Grandmaster, suddenly split into a pile of flesh, turning into a pool of foul blood.

"Strange, is this place really the burial ground of Sword Saint Dugu? How could so many Yin monsters be born here?" A trace of gravity flashed in the Star Sword King's eyes.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Forget it, we are still on the periphery; let's talk after entering the inner perimeter."

At the end of the area filled with Yin Qi, a man with graying temples sat on a throne built of skeletons and bones, his body surging with Sword Intent, his appearance resembling Sword Saint Dugu, playing with a golden skull in his hand; the skull spewed corpse flames from its mouth, revealing images of one challenger after another.

"Heh heh, there are two more Pseudo-Saint level beings, not bad..." the man laughed coldly and sinisterly.

...

Inside the stone chamber.

"A sword soul comparable to a Grandmaster..."

Li Jiangchen looked toward the phantom of the ancient cyan sword floating out of the stone coffin, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

Along the way, the further they went, the stronger the combat strength of the monsters in the stone coffins became.

Right now, even a Grandmaster-level existence had appeared.

However, it was not a big problem; Li Jiangchen had already set up the Formation in advance, and with the power of the Demon Kingdom and the Immortal Sword Domain, with premeditation against the unprepared, even a Grandmaster-level existence would have to kneel.

"Zhutian, slash!"

The giant sword sliced through the Void Realm, its boundless sharpness wrapping around the Sword Intent, and the moment the sword soul flew out of the stone coffin, it instantly pierced through it.

However, the sword soul still did not completely dissipate.

At this moment, a beam of red light shot out and landed on the sword soul's body, like boiling oil on a fire; the sword soul immediately let out a shrill scream, its body burning with red light, and within a few breaths, it turned into a pile of flying ash, from which a gray crystal fell out.
