Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 687 - Today, You Must Die
They were all in the hall waiting patiently, sitting in meditation. Zhang En did not speak a word, making Chu Bai and the other two also not dare to start the conversation.
Half an hour later, they heard the sound of the wind roar from a distance.
Both Chu Bai and Shi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Xian Wu, however, looked ordinary.
The four of them turned to look, seeing two figures appear from afar. When Chu Bai, Xian Wu, and Shi Qi saw the faces of the two people, they were shocked.
"Xu Lang!"
“Wei Song!”
These two people were named second-ranked Xu Lang, and Wei Song whose rank Zhang En had taken out of the top ten.
When Xu Lang and Wei Song arrived at the hall, the two were also surprised to see that there were already four people there.
The two of them glanced at the surroundings of the hall, finally stopping at Zhang En, showing a different reaction.
Especially Wei Song, he looked surprised as he looked at Zhang En, whereas Zhang En detected a swift yet powerful killing intent from Xu Lang's sight. Although Xu Lang immediately hid it, it did not escape Zhang En's senses.
Sensing this, Zhang En remained calm and indifferent.
“Since the five of us are already here, do we instantly merge our formation keys and activate them?” Chu Bai spoke but his eyes seemed to be seeking approval from Zhang En.
Upon Chu Bai's question, Shi Qi and Xian Wu also turned their heads towards Zhang En, waiting for his decision.
At first, when Wei Song saw Zhang En's cultivation, he had the same idea as Tian Fu. But he immediately realized Chu Bai's attitude and felt a cold air around his neck. He quickly canceled his previous intention to snatch Zhang En's key.
Seeing Chu Bai's questioning gaze, Zhang En nodded, agreeing without saying anything.
Xu Lang also noticed this, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking.
As no one objected, each of them took out their small spears, while flowing their respective qi into to activate the ancient symbols on its surface.
Wusshhh!!
The five spears emitted a bright light and flew into the center of the hall, spinning rapidly in the air and slowly merging into one, releasing an even more dazzling light.
Then, a mysterious power emerged from the spear, carrying an even more dazzling light that rippled like waves in four directions, illuminating the entire hall.
Right in the middle of the hall, under that spear, a round-shaped pattern emerged from the floor surface.
In the center of this round-shaped pattern was carved a giant Demon God image, holding a lightning spear in one hand as if aiming to destroy the world in just one strike.
Although it was only an image, it contained a majestic god force that caused them to involuntarily retreat to the edge of the hall.
As the dazzling light widened, a bright light also shot out from the pattern on the floor.
About half an hour later, the scene in front of them changed. Looking around, they found that they were now in a different hall.
This hall was large and spacious, in the center was a five-legged god furnace made of materials they did not know, shining with a stunning golden color.
Each of the four walls were lined with drawers that stood side by side, on top of which were rows of jade bottles labeled pill names they had never heard of before. Even without knowing the type of pill, they were undoubtedly refined by the ancient Demon God as still alive.
But no one moved to take the pill, instead, their focus was on the giant man sitting in a meditative pose.
This is the corpse of the Ancient Demon God!
Beside the corpse of the Demon God there was a gigantic lightning spear, a thin ribbon of lightning hissing around it. Even after tens of thousands of years had passed, its destructive power was still terrifying.
Desire glittered in the eyes of all of them.
Swooosh!!!
Suddenly, someone moved. In an instant, that person appeared right beside the corpse of the Demon God. This person was none other than Wei Song.
Seeing this, Chu Bai, Shi Qi, and Xian were furious, yet, just as they were about to make a move, there was someone even faster than the three of them. Wei Song's hand barely stretched out to grab the corpse when a shadow struck his palm on Wei Song's back.
Boom!!!
Wei Song was sent flying into a corner of the hall due to the force of the palm strike.
The others stopped in surprise to see this.
Wei Song vomited fresh blood as he opened his mouth to speak. He could clearly feel that his spine was shattered and his internal organs were all jumbled into a mess.
"Xu Lang?!" When Wei Song saw the face of his attacker being the one who cooperated with him and accompanied him all the way here, he was shocked and furious. On the way here, they had discussed and agreed to cooperate. They can be considered an alliance.
"Why did you attack me?!" Wei Song asked as he stared intently at Xu Lang .
Xu Lang sneered, showing a clear contempt for Wei Song's question. He turned around, looking at Chu Bai, Zhang En and the other two, “Today, you guys should die here.”
Chu Bai's face darkened, sneering in response, “Xu Lang, are you sure you want to kill me?"
Shi Qi, Xian Wu, even Wei Song's gaze became strange looking at Xu Lang. This threat of Xu Lang was a little exaggerated. Based on the ranking list, Xu Lang was ranked second, just below Chu Bai, which meant that Xu Lang was weak from Chu Bai by only a small margin, but still weak.
Hearing Chu Bai's reply, Xu Lang burst into laughter. Then, an enormous aura pressure shot out from Xu Lang's body.
Swoosshhhhh!!!!
Sensing Xu Lang's increased Qi and aura, Chu Bai, Shi Qi, Xian Wu, and Wei Song paled, forcing the four of them to retreat to the edge of the hall.
Influenced by Xu Lang's increasing strength, the airflow in the large hall was completely frozen.
"W-You turned out to be in the realm of an early stage 5-star Golden God!" Chu Bai said with a pale face, his eyes widened in disbelief looking at Xu Lang.
All along, Xu Lang had been hiding his true strength.
Releasing his full aura, Xu Lang stood there, emitting a mysterious and ancient aura.
Enjoying the shock and fear on the faces of Chu Bai and the other three, Xu Lang nodded in satisfaction, clutching both his hands behind his back and saying, “True, I have hidden my strength, Xu Lang nodded his head, even the Sect Chief as well as all the Elders in my sect did not know my true strength all along.”
Zhang En's brows frowned slightly listening to Xu Lang's statement.
"But, how did you get away with the power assessment monument during registration?" Chi Bai asked.
"Power assessment monument?" Xu Lang laughed, “Hahaha, it is just a mere power appraiser's monument, it will show whatever strength I want to show. The cultivation technique of our sect is not something you can understand. ”
"Now, which one of you wants to die first?" His gaze was immediately directed at Zhang En.
