377: Weird passage

Zhou Xun walked forward a few steps and immediately felt a terrifying blade of qi rushing towards him.

"Bang!"

Zhou Xun hurriedly waved his palm, shattering those qi blades.

"Hiss... What powerful swordsmanship."

Zhou Xun was secretly shocked; the qi blades attacking him were actually composed of countless smaller qi blades.

Zhou Xun looked into the distance, but it was shrouded in mist, and he could see nothing.

Seeing Zhou Xun's attack miss, Chen Tianming and Wu Wenlong couldn't help but frown.

They had also felt the biting power of the sword light just now; if they hadn't had protective qi, both of them would have been injured.

"What? Do you not intend to continue acting?"

Zhou Xun sneered, "Or are you planning to just leave it like this before I die?"

Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes, and killing intent instantly surged from his body.

If he couldn't get the two of them to act together this time, they would definitely never be able to leave this eerie palace.

He had thought Wu Wenlong was reliable, but he hadn't expected him to harbor such crooked intentions.

Zhou Xun said with a cold face, "Don't forget, I'm the one who brought you here!"

After saying this, Zhou Xun flashed and charged toward that side.

"Swish!"

"If you aren't going to act, then everyone dies here together, or we obtain the treasures here together!"

Zhou Xun's speed was very fast, but Wu Wenlong followed behind unhurriedly. A sinister smile curled at the corners of his mouth as he looked at Zhou Xun's back, appearing incomparably treacherous.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Zhou Xun's palm continuously fired off countless qi blades, clashing with the blades.

"Boom!"

Zhou Xun was hit by the qi blades, sent flying backward, and fell heavily to the ground.

This time, Chen Tianming did not stand idly by but chose to step forward and act.

He gently pushed with his palm, and all the qi blades and sharp blades attacking from all directions vanished.

"Snap!"

Wu Wenlong also seized the opportunity to strike, and the three of them finally broke through the layers of the sword formation.

Both Chen Tianming and Wu Wenlong felt a sense of relief.

At this moment, Zhou Xun's expression changed.

Because he discovered that the palace's sword formation didn't just use qi blades and sharp blades to attack enemies; there were also some mysterious symbols.

These symbols seemed to have a life of their own, constantly attacking him, making him feel as if he couldn't dodge them.

"Hmph."

Zhou Xun stomped hard on the ground, and his body turned into an afterimage.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Xun dodged the incoming talismans, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Chen Tianming.

He gripped his long sword with both hands and slashed directly at Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly sidestepped.

"Bang!"

A sword mark several inches deep appeared where Chen Tianming had just been standing.

"Phew, good thing I moved fast." Chen Tianming thought, feeling secretly relieved.

"Swish, swish!"

Zhou Xun stomped his feet on the ground, moving like lightning, and quickly evaded these few hidden weapons.

"This place is truly extremely dangerous. Should we really continue?"

Wu Wenlong really couldn't understand how a place could have so many hidden weapons.

Chen Tianming was also quite fearful of this place; it could no longer be described as a brotherhood, as every move was intended to kill.

But Zhou Xun gritted his teeth in unwillingness; he didn't want to leave just like that.

"I already mentioned in my previous intelligence that there is something very important here. Perhaps with this, we can get out on our own!" Zhou Xun sneered.

"But this place is really too dangerous," Wu Wenlong said worriedly.

"The things here probably aren't something we can afford to take, right?"

"Hehehe, are you afraid?" Zhou Xun laughed.

"Regardless of whether it's that important, this is our only chance. Only by obtaining the treasure will we have a chance to get out."

Zhou Xun spoke with such certainty that Chen Tianming didn't know what kind of treasure could allow them to endure such a place, to the point that they didn't even dare to ask for outside help.

One had to realize that taking even a single step here meant meeting one's doom.

Having faced so many waves of attacks, it was impossible for Zhou Xun not to realize this.

Yet, he kept insisting, even encouraging them to keep going.

Chen Tianming didn't know how to respond to this kind of situation.

Seeing that Wu Wenlong still had reservations, Zhou Xun simply told him the truth.

"I'll tell you the truth. The thing inside is something that can change destiny. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it can definitely defy the heavens and change fate. Don't you want it?"

Hearing Zhou Xun say this, Wu Wenlong's eyes lit up.

How could he possibly give up such an opportunity?

"I want it. I don't know what I need to do?" Wu Wenlong asked.

Zhou Xun said, "We need to first find the strongest treasure in here, and then we will cooperate to seize it. I will teach you what to do then."

"Good." Wu Wenlong nodded.

The two of them reaching an agreement made Chen Tianming feel like he was at a disadvantage.

After all, they had the treasure, while he had nothing; wasn't that a loss for him?

"You two are quite calculating. You want me to put in the effort, but I don't get a share of this treasure! Wu Wenlong, don't you forget what the purpose of my cooperation with you is!"

"Of course I won't forget. No matter who misses out on the benefits, it won't be you, Brother Chen!"

Wu Wenlong hurriedly laughed it off, speaking cheerfully, and took the opportunity to glance at Zhou Xun, trying to get him to chime in.

However, Zhou Xun obviously had other intentions and just said indifferently, "If you want our help, you must get my matter done!"

"Of course that's fine, but you must also promise me that my matter must be done for me!"

The two were at loggerheads, neither willing to yield to the other.

However, both of them were also very cautious.

After all, this place was extremely dangerous. If they acted together, they would certainly be injured by this sword formation, and by then, they wouldn't have that chance anymore.

"That's no problem. Anyway, as long as it's about the treasure, we are both interested," Zhou Xun said deliberately.

Wu Wenlong didn't say anything; he appeared as though he had become indifferent, not interested in anything, yet one couldn't ignore him.

Wu Wenlong definitely had a reason for coming here, but they didn't know it; everyone was harboring their own ulterior motives.

After reaching a basic agreement, the three of them set off again.

After breaking through the sword formation, there was a long, narrow corridor. The further they walked inside, the narrower it became.

In the end, it was only wide enough for one person to pass through, making it feel like this wasn't a palace at all.

"Clatter."

Suddenly, a sound rang out.

Chen Tianming hurriedly raised his leg and kicked, "Bang."

The ground was kicked into a pit, and soil scattered into the air.

"Huh?"

Chen Tianming looked strangely at the soil under his feet.
