945: Du Xingchen's play ignites hatred
After Du Xingchen brought Liangcai Sword into the Place of Inheritance, they could see a deep spatial tunnel.
Liangcai Sword looked ahead vigilantly, ready to unleash his Martial Soul at any time to deal with danger.
As for Du Xingchen, he looked at the space above the tunnel.
There, faint traces of a special aura that hadn't completely dissipated still lingered.
Thinking of the description in the original work, Du Xingchen understood at a glance what had been in that place before.
Without saying more, the two continued walking into it.
"Captain, what is this?" Not long after they started walking, Liangcai Sword saw an empty box on the ground nearby, which seemed to have originally contained certain items.
Du Xingchen squatted down and inspected it, pretending to be serious: "This treasure chest was just opened, and the things inside have been taken away."
"Was it Moyun who did it?" Liangcai Sword reacted, his brows furrowing.
His gaze also couldn't help but fall on the wall of the tunnel nearby.
"My treasure belongs to the inheritor."
Below this sentence, there was indeed such a treasure chest.
"Moyun took away all the other things God left for Captain Wen Xiu Cheng?!" Liangcai Sword now knew the truth that Du Xingchen wanted him to know.
"Let's go, this treasure chest hasn't been opened for long, Moyun shouldn't have gone far." Du Xingchen called out, his tone appropriately showing some emotional fluctuation.
A moment later, the two began to advance towards the interior of the tunnel.
Along the way, the scenery around the tunnel gradually became wider.
Compared to before, it was as if they were following the root-like structures on the dragon's head, gradually reaching the main thoroughfare.
As the tunnel widened, it turned into large passages extending inwards, everything becoming much more spacious.
But it wasn't bright.
"This place was originally lit by luminous pearls, have they also been taken by Moyun now?" Liangcai Sword noticed the lamp stands on both sides.
Originally, there should have been items for illumination on them, but now there was no trace.
From some traces, it looked like they had been completely taken away not long ago!
Similar scenes like this, as they walked along, Liangcai Sword discovered many more under Du Xingchen's intentional or unintentional hints.
Basically, all the good things contained in the passage had been completely taken by Moyun!
"How could he do this? Did he really use the Captain to open this place just so he could come in and take everything?!" Liangcai Sword was now filled with righteous indignation.
This was also the reason why Du Xingchen wanted to bring him in.
Liangcai Sword himself had a good relationship with the original owner, and coupled with Du Xingchen becoming the Captain these past few days, his position in Liangcai Sword's heart had been elevated too much.
Therefore, Liangcai Sword would not notice any of Du Xingchen's intentional or unintentional hints, only following the direction given to guide his thoughts.
His current state was that he had already seen Moyun's 'true face'.
Seeing that the goal for this stage was almost achieved, Du Xingchen patted Liangcai Sword's shoulder: "Go outside and bring the Captain and Qing Youyu in. I'm worried they might run into other people outside, that would be too dangerous."
"I'll continue looking further inside, we'll meet up later."
"By yourself?" Liangcai Sword hesitated upon hearing this: "Moyun's strength has always been very strong, if you run into him, it's too dangerous alone!"
"It's fine, if I find Moyun, I won't act rashly." Du Xingchen waved his hand, dispelling Liangcai Sword's worries.
"Then Captain, be careful." Liangcai Sword didn't say more, leaving the words behind before turning and leaving.
Watching the other party leave, Du Xingchen turned his gaze towards the deeper parts of this Place of Inheritance.
"Whoosh~" A gust of wind swept past, and Du Xingchen completely unleashed his speed, chasing towards the depths.
He knew that there was no danger in this Place of Inheritance.
Therefore, there was no need to worry too much.
From the perspective of time, Moyun should have already reached the central area by now and seen the Dragon God's Inheritance!
Under normal circumstances in the plot, after taking the other treasures, Moyun would still take the Dragon God's Inheritance and give it to Wen Xiu Cheng.
With so much buildup before, if this kind of plot played out, the protagonist group wouldn't be fooled; they would only see Moyun's falseness.
However, Du Xingchen felt that this wasn't enough; he needed to add another explosive element to this matter.
With rapid speed, Du Xingchen soon rushed out of the passage and arrived in a vast and magnificent space!
The vast wilderness seemed not to exist in this World.
From the sky, streams of beautiful golden light beams descended.
The size of the light beams was not the same, and vaguely visible within them were some kind of sacred treasures!
Upon arriving here, Du Xingchen saw Moyun walking towards the largest light beam at a glance.
There, a phantom of a golden dragon was circling.
While indistinct, it exuded a rich dragon's might.
That was indeed the Dragon God's Inheritance!
The one who bears the inheritance, as long as they pass the trial, is destined to take over the God position in the future and become a new god!
According to the plot description in the original work, Moyun should be tentatively approaching now.
After entering the light beam and fully understanding it, he would bring the inheritance to the injured Wen Xiu Cheng outside.
That's right, in the original work, Wen Xiu Cheng was also injured during this time period.
Looking at Moyun ahead at this moment, Du Xingchen did not act rashly.
After waiting for a while, estimating that the time was about right, he suddenly approached rapidly and directly launched an attack!
"Moyun! You actually want to snatch even the Captain's inheritance, stop right now!" The moment the roar came out, Du Xingchen's face was filled with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring integrity.
Such a commotion also forced Moyun to turn his head and look.
When he saw clearly that the person who came was Du Xingchen, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Du Xingchen?"
After pondering over the other party's words, Moyun quickly explained: "Xingchen, you misunderstood! I'm helping the Captain take out the inheritance for him!"
After the sound was transmitted, it didn't stop Du Xingchen in the slightest.
What met him instead was Du Xingchen's even more fierce attack.
In response, Moyun, forced by the situation, dodged sideways: "Xingchen! Calm down, I'm helping the Captain!"
While trying to persuade him, Moyun once again dodged Du Xingchen's attack.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, one of Du Xingchen's tricky attacks caused Moyun's brow to furrow slightly.
This strike, he couldn't avoid it, he had to make a move in advance to interrupt the other party.
Forget it, he still had to subdue this guy first before he would listen to his explanation.
Thinking this, Moyun clenched his hand into a fist, his fist turning a golden-iron color, and the Five Elements Yin Yang Body's gold body began to circulate!
"Boom!" A punch with decent power, but not particularly dangerous, landed directly on Du Xingchen's armpit.
After throwing this punch, feeling the solid feedback from his fist, Moyun himself was somewhat in a daze.
He actually hit him?
With such a simple move, Du Xingchen should know how to defend, right?
Just as he was thinking.
The Du Xingchen in front of him, precisely because of this punch, suddenly flew backward as if struck by a heavy blow!
"Ah!" Lying on the ground, he roared, Du Xingchen's face was full of pain, and he was even spitting blood from his mouth: "Moyun! You actually struck with such deadly intent!"
He wanted to say something else, but 'fainted' at the last moment.
Moyun looked at his fist in confusion, surprised by how powerful this punch was, while also not having fully recovered his senses.
"Xingchen!"
Suddenly, the entrance to the passage in the distance, at a very opportune moment, welcomed another group from the protagonist team!
Liangcai Sword and the others were almost driven mad with anger.
He brought the Captain, Qing Youyu, and Sun Yingying, the three of them rushing over in a great hurry.
They just wanted to meet up with Du Xingchen early this morning to avoid danger.
Unexpectedly, they were still one step too late!
Just as they arrived at the entrance of this open space, they personally witnessed Du Xingchen flying backward!
They could even see his miserable state of spitting blood and falling unconscious, and Moyun's expressionless situation!
"Moyun! You are truly heartless! Not only did you use and frame the Captain, but you also heavily injured Du Xingchen like this! If we hadn't arrived in time, were you planning to kill him?!"
Liangcai Sword said hatefully, and suddenly attacked towards Moyun.
Qing Youyu also put down Wen Xiu Cheng and approached Moyun with a cold expression.
As for Sun Yingying, she also timely added attack buffs to the two of them, and then transferred the healing buff from Wen Xiu Cheng's body to Du Xingchen's body.
"Things are not how you see them!" Moyun felt overwhelmed upon seeing his former teammates targeting him like this.
"Enough! We've seen through your hypocrisy, you despicable person, don't you feel disgusted continuing to pretend?!" The Martial Soul in Liangcai Sword's hand fully manifested, and with a fluctuating aura, he unleashed a powerful slash directly at Moyun's body!
Moyun's act of taking so many good things along the way that should have belonged to Wen Xiu Cheng, the inheritor, had already made it difficult for Liangcai Sword to look him in the eye. Now, seeing that the other party actually intended to kill Du Xingchen for the good things and silence him, the last shred of illusion he had about this teammate over the years was shattered.
Liangcai Sword just wanted to make this guy pay the price!
The same thought also arose in the hearts of Qing Youyu and Sun Yingying.
Actually, in the original work.
Moyun also collected the good things along this path.
However, they were all put into his own pocket with just one sentence that he could plan how everyone would use them later.
The current situation was roughly the same.
However, the difference was that Du Xingchen revealed Moyun's true appearance from another perspective.
Coupled with not having spent time with Moyun and not being affected by the protagonist's halo, everyone could clearly see the disgusting aspect of Moyun's actions!
Furthermore, Du Xingchen's act of pretending to be injured at this moment was also the fuse that completely ignited the gunpowder barrels of the few people.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much Moyun tried to explain, it would be extremely pale, and besides, he didn't even have a chance to explain!
Qing Youyu and Liangcai Sword, with the help of Sun Yingying, the support Soul Card Master, the two of them charged at Moyun with considerably stronger power than before.
This forced Moyun to unleash his Martial Soul.
The metal elements instantly condensed in front of Moyun, forming a huge shield, blocking the attacks of the two.
However, a moment later, Moyun frowned as he saw that the attacks of the two had actually torn apart the shield he had condensed!
Although he didn't use his Soul Card skills, relying on the strength of his Martial Soul, which had absorbed a ten-thousand-year exotic beast Soul Card.
A shield formed solely by condensing his Martial Soul was enough to block most attacks from those at the same Realm!
These two seemed to have had a significant improvement in strength in just these few days.
In reality.
Qing Youyu and Liangcai Sword, both of them were close-combat Soul Card Masters.
With the increase in physical strength, the improvement in power was naturally the most obvious.
"First Soul Card Skill, Copper Bell." Moyun's expression became a little serious, and the blue card in his hand flipped over.
"Buzz~"
A giant copper bell instantly condensed from metal elements, directly standing in front of Moyun!
At the same time, as Moyun's fist circulated with the Five Elements Yin Yang Body, his gold body mobilized its power to become an iron fist, and with a loud bang, he hammered it directly onto the copper bell!
"Clang!"
A clear sound resonated with everything around.
Visibly discernible spatial fluctuations slowly spread downwards!
