Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.70 - Heavenly Lotus
Xiang Yang and Cai'er left the Black Stone City, darting towards the spot the map showed.
The road they passed by was completely devoid of any city, only a small village left behind by several hundred to dozens of residents.
Xiang Yang and Cai'er just passed through that countryside, never stopping by. If hungry they only live to hunt animals such as rabbits and chickens to be used as food.
Up to 2 days had passed, although it was night, but they did not stop the journey because soon they would reach the destination.
They jump from tree to tree like Konoha Gakure ninjas.
Until a few minutes later, they both stopped on a branch of a tree that was quite large and lush.
Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes, his gaze trying to penetrate the darkness of the night, he was like seeing a group of people from a distance of several hundred meters in front of them, which in that distance was the place they were headed.
It was indeed tonight even though the moonlight was quite bright, but the moon was now covered in black clouds so that Xiang Yang's vision was limited.
After a while, Xiang Yang turned his head towards Cai'er beside him.
"How's Cai'er, what do you see?" Xiang Yang asked, looking into the eyes with red irises that seemed to light up in the darkness of the night, staring intently ahead.
As a snake-man race, the Cai'er certainly has a keen vision, albeit in the darkness of the night.
"They numbered in the tens, from the clothes they were wearing, it seemed like the design was somewhat similar to Sha Qi's! Perhaps they were members of the Blood Glue Sect!" cai'er.
"Secte another Blood Glue!" Xiang Yang put on a lazy face, for some reason at this time he was very reluctant to deal with the sect "Mm.so they already knew about the tomb of this Ghost Hand first, then we have to hurry Cai'er, before all the treasure is taken by them!"
"There was no need to worry Xiao Yang, they were just guarding the tomb so that no one would come! It seemed like there was a special barrier on the door of the tomb so they could not enter the tomb!"
"You're right as well, if they could enter the tomb then it's impossible that the guard outside would be that much!" Xiang Yang nodded "Then how strong are they?"
"None of them is troublesome, just a bunch of trash! The most powerful of them were Sky Spiritual level 1 only, while the rest were Earth Spiritual level cultivators and the lowest was True Fondation!"
"Ooh!" Xiang Yang's lips formed the letter O "Then let's finish them off and we take control of the tomb!" Xiang Yang punched his left palm, with a wide smile on his face.
"Heheh, I like your idea Xiao Yang! Let's slay them, cut off their limbs before they're burned alive!" Cai'er grinned wide as well as Xiang Yang.
Looks like the young man has caught Cai'er's psychopathic nature.
***
About 20 men were keeping watch with great focus, while several tens of others were drinking wine and gambling.
There was only one tent there, where in the tent was an old man who was sleeping casually.
The old man was the one hired to open the barrier on the door of the Ghost Hand tomb.
"Was the old man really able to open the barrier on the door of the tomb? It's been a few days but there are absolutely no definite results!" One of the men standing guard looked grumbled.
"Huh, if only he wasn't the one hired by the Sect Chief himself then I would definitely chop off his head!"
"I agree, the old man smelled of earth just kept bragging about his abilities! His work of just eating and sleeping produced nothing!"
The guards grumbled, cursing in annoyance at the old man named Gao Wu.
Actually the Blood Gloss Sect did not know if this was the tomb of the Ghost Hand, which was why they had only sent 1 Sky Spiritual level cultivator.
If they knew it then their own Sect Chief would come straight to the field.
The Ghost Hand Graveyard was too precious to ignore.
The guards were still grumbling, until a moment later they were suddenly silent and then put on a watchful attitude, their gazes straight ahead trying to penetrate the darkness of the night.
*tap!
*tap!
They could see there were two black shadows, it was unclear what their faces looked like but it was certain that the two shadows were gender-different humans.
"Stop there!" one of the men brandished his sword, saying in a slightly harsh tone, commemorating the two shadows.
The man was intending to step forward, but his movements immediately stopped.
The man looked down and found a mound of dirt trapping his leg so that it could not be moved.
When the man was about to raise his head, suddenly the world seemed to be spinning.
"Eh" when the man saw his own body that had no head, he realized, "Ah.it turns out I'm dead!"
*bug!
*brug!
The man's head and body fell to the ground.
The eyes of the other 4 people lay looking at such a sudden occurrence.
"MOM..."
One of the people wanted to shout but his head was cut off before his sentence was complete.
The remaining three hurriedly jumped back, but what was waiting for them behind was the shadow figure they had seen before.
Xiang Yang pierced the man's heart while Cai'er cut his body in half.
The remaining one managed to land smoothly, but along with its landing, an ice needle stuck in his chest, which instantly froze his heart, leaving the man dead instantly.
Xiang Yang and Cai'er killed the 5 men quickly and quietly, no one was aware of their existence.
Although previously one man was terrible half a word, but it was not heard by the other guards, because the 5 men, his guard post was at the most distant part, not heard by other posts.
"Cai'er, I want to try one technique that I recently perfected, so let me take care of them all!" said Xiang Yang.
"Oh yes, then I also want to see what kind of technique it is!" Cai'er smiled, then they darted towards the others.
After making observations of the surroundings, Xiang Yang started using his technique.
Xiang Yang opened both of his palms, a moment later Xiang Yang's right hand let out a hot red flame, while his left hand let out a bluish-white flame that emitted an intense chill.
By adding Yang energy to the red flames and Yin energy to the bluish-white flames, the two flames blazed increasingly fiercer, tempestuous with opposite intense air.
Xiang Yang began to concentrate the two opposing flames at one point, slowly forming a lotus flower.
The lotus flower was only as big as a palm, but the energy density within it could not be looked at one eye.
"Heavenly Lotus!" Xiang Yang threw the fire lotus towards the tent which was the center of the people's guard.
The Heavenly Lotus shot out at medium speed.
Those people could see the fire lotus which was burning in the darkness of the night, but they were just on their guard, doing nothing because they could not feel the pressure on the fire lotus.
Until the fire lotus touched the end of the roof of the tent, then the fire lotus let out a dangerous air.
Only then did those people realize it, but it was too late.
*...!!
The Xiang Yang Heavenly Lotus Technique exploded violently, killing all the members of the Blood Glazing Sect guarding the tomb of the Ghost Hand.
