Chapter 66: One Strike to Kill
On the quicksand.
"Escaped?"
The black-clad man's triangular eyes revealed a hint of surprise, a low-ranking explosive hole symbolist with such a low cultivation level had actually escaped from his hands, it was simply a huge joke.
He is a mid-level explosive symbol master who has opened more than 140 true holes, although he is extremely ordinary compared to the disciples of those big sects, but among small sects and scattered cultivators, he is considered a high-ranking master.
He continued to cast his spells, attacking the quicksand, stirring it up, but to no effect. Realizing that his opponent had escaped his attack range, he couldn't help but give up, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart.
He couldn't figure out how a low-level Bomb Hole Symbolist had managed to escape his Symbolic Strangulation.
"Lucky for you."
The man in black let out a cold laugh and immediately moved his body, falling into the sand hole.
He prepared to take away things on the skeleton and then immediately left the quicksand sea, going far away.
Soon, he found a Simuna ring on the skeleton's body.
"It's actually Usnisa Vijaya Dharani, great! I've become prosperous. I didn't expect that I, Liu Yang, would have such an opportunity. It's truly the heavens helping me."
The man in black, Liu Yang, suppressed the excitement in his heart, took off the Suona ring, and infused spiritual energy into it. Suddenly, his whole body began to tremble.
At this moment, a sword light pierced through the flowing sand beside him and shot towards the chest of the black-clad man Liu Yang.
This sword light is very abrupt!
"Really?"
Although the man in black was ecstatic, he did not relax his vigilance, but he never thought that an attack would come from the quicksand, and his spiritual power had been detecting the movement on the surface of the quicksand.
Moreover, a gray aura had been circulating around his body all along, which was a symbol of force defense technique.
At this time, he was already too late to dodge.
However, his spiritual power felt the sword light at that time, and he didn't care, because this sword energy was too weak.
It should be that person who hid in the quicksand earlier sneaking up, but he didn't mind either. This intensity of attack couldn't even break through his own defense.
He is now going to seize this opportunity and thoroughly eliminate this hidden danger.
Since the other party is attacking me in the quicksand, the hiding place must be nearby.
Just as he was about to cast a spell and launch an attack, he suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body. The sword light had pierced through the layer of gray defensive magic surrounding him and stabbed into his chest. As the sword light dissipated, an ordinary-looking treasured sword appeared.
"This..."
The young man in black lowered his head to look at the treasure sword inserted into his chest, and a look of incredulity appeared in his eyes. He couldn't understand how this ordinary treasure sword with such weak sword energy could break through the defensive talisman light.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to know.
His whole body convulsed, and his eyes quickly dimmed, falling to the ground dead, with the Sumeru ring still tightly grasped in his hand.
Whoosh!
Not long after, a figure emerged from the quicksand, and it was Wang Xuanyang.
After he drilled into the quicksand, he had been secretly observing the man in black with his spiritual power.
Wait until the black-clad man is off guard, then use his sword energy to wrap up the treasure sword, move the treasure sword in the flowing sand, slowly approach the black-clad man, and at a critical moment, suddenly urge it on and launch an attack.
His sword energy was too weak, even with sixteen sword energies, facing a mid-level explosive symbol master who had opened over a hundred true holes, this little sword energy was really too small. Moreover, he had only been cultivating for a short time, and the intensity of each sword energy was not strong enough. It was simply impossible for his sword energy to break through the black-robed man's defensive symbol light.
So he pinned his hopes on that treasured sword.
This treasured sword is of the highest quality, although he can't fully control it, it's still able to barely exert some of its might. The sword aura emitted from the sword is far more terrifying than his own, and with a light and easy motion, it broke through the defensive talisman's glow, killing the black-robed man in one strike.
Looking at the black-clad man's unyielding expression, Wang Xuanyang sneered and picked up the Su Mei ring, directly throwing it into the Qian Tian ring.
Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something and burrowed into the quicksand once again.
Before long, a group of figures appeared at the edge of the sand cave.
"What's left is just sand and bones?"
This group of figures was none other than the people from the Knife Sword Symbol Sect, with the white-clothed young master Chu Tianhe at the forefront, accompanied by several high-level Explosive Hole Symbol Masters such as Ji Bu Xiang.
"Young master, this man hasn't been dead for long. The person who killed him can't be far away. As long as we find that person, we'll definitely get the treasure on his body."
The dove stared at the skeleton with dead eyes.
As long as it's gold and silver, it almost represents wealth.
From the time they entered the quicksand sea until now, they haven't encountered a single skeleton buried in the sand.
The probability of finding quicksand skeletons in the marginal zone of the flowing sand sea is very small, and even if there are any, they will usually be buried in the flowing sand and difficult to find.
No wonder he was so excited.
The white-clothed youth, Chu Tianhe, didn't say a word. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and suddenly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. With a sudden stomp of one foot, a terrifying sword aura burst forth from his body and directly pierced into the quicksand. In an instant, the quicksand within a radius of five hundred feet began to violently shake, as if there was a terrifying monster stirring beneath its surface.
The others of the Knife Sword Sect hadn't reacted yet, stumbling about and almost falling to the ground.
"Master, you..."
The dove does not coo, with a surprised look on its face.
No wonder he was so shocked, the sword energy that appeared on Chu Tianhe's body just now was not simple at all, and it was not something that Chu Tianhe himself had cultivated. This sword energy was not even possible for an Explosive Hole Symbol Master, let alone a Symbol Master-level strong practitioner. Only those truly powerful Symbol Sect strong practitioners could achieve this.
This is the sect master of Jian Feng Zu Zong, Chu Tianhe's father. With unparalleled skill, he sealed a strand of his sword energy within Chu Tianhe as a lifesaving measure for critical moments.
In the treacherous sea of quicksand, crises lurked everywhere, and one could lose their life at any moment. Without a means of self-defense, Knife Sword Symbol Sect would never let Chu Tianhe enter the sea of quicksand with ease.
On Chu Tianhe's body, such a sword aura only appeared three times, this was the limit, otherwise, Chu Tianhe's body would not be able to withstand it.
Such an important sword energy was actually used by Chu Tianhe in this way.
To think that he didn't even use it during the last battle for the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit Stone!
Rumble!
The quicksand shook and rolled restlessly, like the sea above, with waves surging and heaving unpredictably, as if it was about to turn over this entire expanse of quicksand completely.
It lasted for dozens of breaths before it finally subsided slowly in the quicksand.
"Hmph! You think hiding in the quicksand can deceive me? What a joke!"
Chu Tianhe's mouth curled up in a cold smile, he had an unusual ability to capture the aura of some creatures, this aura even if it was three to five days ago, he could still vaguely capture and remember forever.
Of course, if it's a top-notch strongman who can restrain his own aura, then that's an exception.
He caught quite a few breaths on this scene, but there were two breaths that were the clearest.
One of the auras was that of the dead black-clad man, and another aura, he did not sense any trace of leaving.
In other words, the master of this aura is still on the scene.
Since he didn't leave and wasn't found, there's only one possibility: this person is hidden in the quicksand.
So he didn't hesitate to wield his sword energy, and only this kind of sword energy could thoroughly destroy the people lurking in the quicksand.
Although the sword energy is precious, the things on the body of the sinking sand and bones are even more precious. If you're lucky, you might get an extraordinary treasure.
It's too numerous to know how many powerful beings have fallen into the sea of quicksand, and this sea of quicksand is extremely special. Only those who are truly powerful can leave behind bones and relics, while the weak and small have long been completely erased by the sea of quicksand, leaving no trace of their existence.
"Doves don't coo, you're sinking into quicksand."
Chu Tianhe pointed at Ju Bu Ming.
The dove didn't make a sound, but still nodded slightly. Suddenly, a sword aura and a knife aura entwined each other, and with a fierce burst, they enveloped him and the questioner, directly breaking through the quicksand and sinking into it.
Under the guidance of Chu Tianhe, he covered up Chu Tianhe's sneakiness in the quicksand.
It wasn't until half a watch later that Chu Tianhe and Ju Boming finally returned to the surface.
At this moment, Chu Tianhe's face was gloomy, and he relied on his ability to barely track down the aura in the quicksand.
Unfortunately, he didn't find anything. He had thought that the sword energy from earlier would stir up the quicksand and completely annihilate the person hiding in it. That way, Tian Ya could follow the aura to find the person's corpse and obtain the object on the body of the skeleton buried in the sand.
Who would have thought that he actually found nothing.
....
