Clang!
Bai Ye slashed out with his blade again, colliding with the golden armored warrior's golden mace, emitting a piercing screech!
The next moment, the golden mace suddenly snapped into two pieces!
A vibrating serrated blade and a non-vibrating serrated blade were two entirely different things, their destructive power on completely different levels.
After slicing the golden mace in half, Bai Ye followed up with a strike to the golden armored warrior's chest. As the serrated blade swept across, one of the golden armored warrior's arms flew off, tumbling through the air.
Bai Ye pressed forward, just as he was about to pursue, the silver armored warrior's twin blades attacked, erupting in a shower of sword light before Bai Ye.
"Ningshuang, Ice Barrier!"
The Ningshuang Sword suddenly transformed into a beam of sword light and landed before Bai Ye. Silvery white frost mist abruptly appeared, scattering outwards.
Crack, crack!
The sound of ice forming echoed, and then, an ice wall surged from the ground, blocking Bai Ye.
The silver armored warrior's twin blades struck the ice barrier, scattering countless frost flowers but failing to pierce the ice wall. On the other side of the ice wall, Bai Ye revealed a ferocious expression and thrust his serrated blade forward.
Almost instantaneously, the serrated blade pierced the ice wall, then impaled the silver armored warrior's abdomen in a single strike,貫穿ing it completely.
"Die!"
Bai Ye grunted, pulling his serrated blade sideways, cleaving both the warrior and the wall apart.
Rumble!
The ice wall shattered, crashing to the ground and instantly turning to dust. As the ice wall collapsed, the silver armored warrior's body toppled backward, falling stiffly onto the ground.
Bai Ye leaped up, crossing over the shattered ice on the ground, and swiftly charged towards the golden armored warrior, dragging his blade.
Clang!
A distance of one and a half meters!
The golden armored warrior swung his broken halberd, colliding with the serrated blade once more. The result was that the already broken golden halberd was instantly shaved off another section.
Bai Ye gritted his teeth and exerted more force. The serrated blade descended, plunging into the golden armored warrior's neck and then diagonally slicing his body open.
"You have killed the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors, and obtained Yin Yang Qian Yuan Water."
Bai Ye plunged his serrated blade into the ground, supporting his body as he panted slightly. He then opened his palm, and a small white porcelain bottle appeared in it.
Bai Ye helped those people leave not because he was noble and righteous, but because...
Restricted Area Mission 2: Extinguish the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles within the tomb chamber. Reward: Golden Thread Robe x1.
Of the three restricted area missions in the Tomb of the King of Huainan, Mission 3 was to deal with the King of Huainan, which was self-explanatory. Mission 1 was also very simple, requiring only the killing of fifteen tomb-guarding spirit monsters within the tomb. The only difficulty was that if too many people were on one route, there wouldn't be enough spirit monsters to kill.
Mission 2, however, was a bit more troublesome. To extinguish the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles, one first needed to find the tomb chamber where they were located. Moreover, ordinary methods could not extinguish them, as extinguishing the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles required Yin Yang Qian Yuan Water, which was on the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors.
Therefore, Mission 2 was actually a trap. If one only intended to pass through the main hall, they would lose the opportunity to complete Mission 2.
Furthermore, if the stalemate continued and more people arrived, the Golden and Silver Armored Warriors would no longer pose a threat. Most people would likely gang up and surround them, but there was only one portion of Yin Yang Qian Yuan Water, and the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles could only be extinguished once. One could imagine the ensuing bloodshed.
"As expected, I am truly a good person," Bai Ye muttered, clicking his tongue twice. "How many people have I saved!"
After surveying his surroundings, Bai Ye walked towards the side instead of directly entering the passage.
This was because the direct passage led to the King of Huainan's tomb chamber, while Bai Ye's current destination was the tomb chamber containing the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles.
Although the ultimate goal was to obtain the Five Spirit Disk, the King of Huainan was not easy to deal with. Therefore, Bai Ye felt it was fine to let these people find the King of Huainan's tomb chamber first. He could completely obtain the Golden Thread Robe and then catch up. xxs壹贰
"After all, the Golden Thread Robe is quite a good item," Bai Ye murmured as he approached the side of the main hall, looking at the oil lamps on the wall. "I recall it's the seventh one?"
As he spoke, Bai Ye grabbed the seventh oil lamp and forcefully bent it downwards. A sound of springs turning echoed, and a section of the wall slowly pushed inwards, revealing a secret passage.
Bai Ye casually took down the oil lamp and entered the secret passage. After about fifteen minutes, a tomb chamber appeared before Bai Ye.
This was the tomb chamber where the King of Huainan placed his burial objects. One could see some rotten chests placed around the chamber, with countless treasures of gold and silver scattered out, filling every corner of the room.
However, these items were now akin to dirt in Bai Ye's eyes. Gold and silver treasures were highly sought after outside the World Battlefield. Moreover, they were applicable in all worlds, but in the World Battlefield, these things were worthless. No amount of gold and silver could buy a life.
Bai Ye's target was what was hanging in front of the tomb chamber...
That lamp!
It was an ancient decorative lantern, also known as a flower lantern, with bamboo as its frame supporting nine sides. Each side was covered with fine silk cloth, and on each side, different patterns of true dragons were painted: some soaring through clouds, some overturning seas, some dwelling among mountains, and some roaming beyond the sea of clouds.
However, if it were merely a beautiful decorative lantern, it would be just that. But don't forget that the King of Huainan was a prince who enjoyed seeking immortality and practicing the Tao. Therefore, the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles were not ordinary burial goods, but like the Five Spirit Disk, they were treasures collected by the King of Huainan.
So, the lamp itself was not important; what was important was the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles placed inside the lamp!
Bai Ye took out a playing card and flicked it casually. Under the control of his Paper God ability, the playing card spun rapidly and flew towards the decorative lantern.
Just as the spinning playing card was about to hit the decorative lantern, the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles within the lamp suddenly ignited.
As the flames flickered, the sound of dragon roars echoed within the tomb chamber. Immediately, the nine small dragons painted on the lamp came to life, emerging from the lamp. Each was about ten feet long, flying towards Bai Ye with bared claws and open mouths.
Bai Ye was prepared. Before the nine dragons flew out, he had already darted to the side, circling around to approach the decorative lantern. Simultaneously, the Ningshuang Sword beside him transformed into a silver beam of sword light and shot forward.
"Ningshuang, Sword Illusion Frost!"
Crack, crack!
The sword light of the Ningshuang Sword suddenly exploded, and a large expanse of silvery white frost appeared, scattering outwards. The nine small dragons flying towards Bai Ye were instantly frozen by a layer of frost, and their speed slowed down.
At this very moment...
Bai Ye crouched down and shot forward like a leopard.
