"If you go in, you'll die anyway. It'd be better to die here!"
The black-clothed man, like a ghost, launched a fierce attack on Qin Tian both inside and outside the corridor.
His True Qi carried a chilling aura, as if it had just climbed out of a coffin.
Qin Tian focused all his energy, simultaneously unleashing Water Attribute True Qi and Fire Attribute True Qi to envelop the black-clothed man!
In the corridor, True Qi clashed intensely.
Qin Tian discovered that this black-clothed guard's cultivation level was around the Middle or Late Stage of the Great Immortal Realm, which he was fully capable of handling for now.
After a battle lasting over twenty minutes, Qin Tian used the fierce palm wind of his Flying Immortal Realm power to shatter the black-clothed guard into nothingness.
He didn't hesitate because the more guarded a place was, the more treasures it was likely to contain. He continued deeper into the corridor.
Soon after, he encountered similar black-clothed guards; in total, Qin Tian met four of them, all with cultivation ranging from the Middle Stage to the Peak of the Great Immortal Realm.
Although he hadn't completely recovered his strength, Qin Tian, at the Middle Stage of the Flying Immortal Realm, was more than a match for them.
"Just as the legends say, this Demon Tomb is fraught with danger. Even the guards here have reached the Peak of the Great Immortal Realm, qualifying as super top-tier experts in any Domain. Anybody else coming in here would surely meet their end."
After exiting the corridor, Qin Tian finally felt relieved. Beyond the corridor was a long, black stone road leading into the distance, eerily quiet, sending chills down Qin Tian's spine.
After all, this was inside a tomb.
Plucking up courage, he walked forward. From time to time, gusts of eerie, deathly energy burst from the surrounding stone road, which Qin Tian narrowly dodged each time.
He walked on, covering about a kilometer, when a light gleamed in the distance, revealing a spacious opening.
Qin Tian emerged outside a silver palace.
Having previous experiences breaking into such Underground Palaces, Qin Tian naturally understood that he had entered the core area of the Demon Tomb.
Having overcome numerous life-and-death challenges, was he just now entering the core area?
Swallowing hard, Qin Tian reached the palace's entrance.
At the entrance stood two stone soldiers holding long spears, sculpted to life size, flanking the doorway and deterring Qin Tian from approaching casually.
Ordinarily, these stone soldiers would indeed be suspicious, prompting Qin Tian to brace for a fierce battle with them.
However, when he got close, the stone soldiers remained still, not reacting to him at all.
"Damn, I scared myself for nothing…"
Relaxed after inspecting the lifeless carvings, Qin Tian entered the door and walked deeper into the grand hall.
The hall inside was majestic, appearing even grander than the Immortal King's Tomb or the Ghost King's Tomb.
Instead of being shocked, Qin Tian felt a surge of joy.
"Haha, in the Ghost King Tomb and Immortal King's Tomb, I reaped significant rewards. I should expect no less from the Demon Tomb."
He was no longer concerned about whether he could get out; he only thought of two things: finding treasures and seeking items to save Mu Yunxi.
Whoosh!
As Qin Tian stepped into the center of the hall, he clearly heard strange, cold wind sounds surrounding him. There must be something unusual here!
He was currently in the outer hall, ahead was an opulently decorated crystal dragon patterned door, through which lay the inner hall.
Raising his eyes to the inner hall, Qin Tian saw the gleam of treasures and immediately knew that the valuables must be held inside.
Quickening his pace, he moved toward the inner hall.
Whoosh!
The wind howled!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, as Qin Tian was still thirty or forty meters from the inner hall, several figures descended from the sky—eight figures in total!
These eight figures were true-qi projections, with human shapes clearly visible, each clad in bronze armor, exuding a more commanding presence than the previous black-clothed guards.
"Cough, cough... everyone, everyone, I was just going to take a look..."
Seeing these eight figures, Qin Tian felt flustered. The previous black-clothed guards had been in the Middle to Peak stages of the Great Immortal Realm. These eight must be above the Flying Immortal Realm, right?
In the Demon Tomb, even the tomb-guarding sentinels are in the Flying Immortal Realm; it shows how formidable the Demon was in life!
Clang!
One of the armored guards stepped forward and immediately launched a double-fisted attack on Qin Tian!
Simultaneously, the other seven armored guards executed a coordinated assault from all directions!
Qin Tian leapt up, trying to escape, but almost instantly, those armored guards also sprang into action, sealing off every escape route!
"Damn it!"
Facing the guards' assault, Qin Tian was left with no option but to choose one guard as a break point, launching a double-fisted attack!
"You forced me! No hard feelings!"
Boom!
His fists, emitting Fist Light, hammered into one of the armored guards in front of him!
Bang!
At the same time, Qin Tian was knocked backward!
In the instant of his retreat, a sideways armored guard launched a fireball-like energy attack into Qin Tian's abdomen, making him dizzy and slamming him to the ground hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
"Pugh!"
Blood dripped from Qin Tian's mouth, his teeth gritted, his face drastically changed!
"These guys, every single one is at least in the Late Stage of the Flying Immortal Realm! Hiss... hiss..."
Qin Tian's pupils dilated, his hands trembled, and when he spoke to himself, his voice was filled with despair!
The eight armored sentinels, each in the Late Stage or above of the Flying Immortal Realm!
And these sentinels, clad in magical armor, were merely True Qi projections, without flesh, blood, or emotion!
Eight of them!
Qin Tian was utterly stunned.
Even one armored sentinel was beyond what Qin Tian, currently at only 60% of his full power, could handle.
With eight of them... now, Qin Tian could only wait to be slaughtered by them!
In this place, in this Demon Tomb, no cry for help could be heard!
He couldn't even escape!
"Phew!"
Seeing the eight armored sentinels approaching, Qin Tian got up, took a deep breath, and with the Red Sword in hand, kept moving back!
He was gravely injured, and even his Dan Tian Qi Sea was damaged.
Forget about the Divine Elephant power; even the Dragon Power was impossible to fully exert now...
