In the eighth level of the mysterious cave, Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue were surrounded by over a hundred skeletal warriors. Each of them wore a set of armor-plated armor and they also held large swords in their terrifying skinny hands.
Looking at over a hundred rank 7 Emperor realm skeletal warriors, Xia Xinyue's eyes showed a hint of worry, but when she saw Jiu Shen's calm and indifferent face, she felt a little relieved. However, he still put on a wary gaze as he held his sword tightly in his hand. ‘No matter how strong Sect Master is, he will still surrender under many of these rank 7 Emperor realm skeletal warriors, but if he can break through their siege, he might be able to come out alive.’
After thinking that, he then stared firmly at Jiu Shen's side profile and muttered in a slightly quivering voice. “Master Sect Master, you don't need to protect me. Throughout the entire journey, I've only been a hindrance to you, so you don't have to waste your energy to protect me. I just hope you will.help the Sulan bring our Ice Cloud Sword Sect to eternal glory.”.
Actually, he did not want to die, but facing this kind of circumstance, he would feel guilty even if he managed to survive because he had only become a burden to Jiu Shen in this entire exploration.
Jiu Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard her determined voice and he could not help but look more clearly at the beautiful face of this beautiful woman. He didn't think too much about it the whole time and only treated her as a subordinate, but after feeling his determination, his impression of this woman changed greatly.
“Do you think this little undead can stop me, Jiu Shen?” Jiu Shen chuckled in an amused tone.
Xia Xinyue felt an insult in Jiu Shen's voice, and her heart became confused. Where did he get his confidence? Facing the many undead in the realm of 7th rank Emperors, even Emperor Elyk would not be able to utter such bold words, so how could he remain calm in this kind of situation?
Roaarr!!
Roaarr!!
The skeletal warriors roared as they pounced towards the couple while raising their wide swords. Their loud roars shook the entire cave even the bravest of people would definitely be frightened by it.
Xia Xinyue's legs were almost bent due to the suffocating aura they produced and the hand she used to hold her sword shook lightly.
Jiu Shen's silver eyes flashed and turned golden in color as a pair of inked black wings grew behind his back. His calm and indifferent expression suddenly changed as an extremely cold smile hung on his extremely handsome face.
The dragon tattoo on his right arm suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke before turning into an ordinary-looking black sword.
The roarrrrr!!
An ear-piercing draconic cry echoed like thunder, shocking the undead group that was about to attack Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue. Their empty eyes had no feeling, but strangely, they showed a hint of horror when they heard the dragon roar from the Baleful Jiu Shen Dragon Sacred Sword.
The appearance of the ordinary-looking black sword in Jiu Shen's hand slowly changed, and in no less than a few seconds, it did not, the sword turned into an extremely dangerous and menacing looking heavy sword that looked even more impressive due to the ancient patterns on its blade.and the life-like dragon carvings intertwined in its hilt.
The lazy and relaxed aura of Jiu Shen could no longer be felt, and only the astonishing and incomparable atmosphere of a top expert could be felt around him.
Xia Xinyue's eyes widened at this sudden change so she even forgot the situation they were in. ‘Is this his true strength? He looks really cool..’.
And without waiting for the undead to recover, Jiu Shen's figure flickered as he dashed towards them with the Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword in his hand.
Bang out!
More than a dozen skeletal warriors were crushed after being hit by Jiu Shen's sword attack and their weapons were not even spared, breaking into pieces as if fragile glass beams.
Xia Xinyue who was willing to die suddenly felt that her words earlier were somewhat laughable to Jiu Shen.
‘It was unexpected that there was someone this strong in the Silver Wing Kingdom. I wonder how strong he is compared to the Alliance Leader of the Alliance?’ He thought in his heart when he saw how Jiu Shen dismembered over a hundred rank 7 Emperor skeletal warriors as if they were a bunch of poor chickens. It was truly shocking that his eyes glittered in admiration upon seeing him easily destroy those creatures.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
On the other hand, Jiu Shen did not want to waste any more time in this place, so he hurriedly finished off the remaining skeletal warriors. A group of them could not even get close to Jiu Shen before they became a pile of dust under his overwhelming sword attack.
The Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword in Jiu Shen's hand turned into a wisp of black smoke as it returned to his right arm.
Jiu Shen pulled his pitch-black wings and his pair of golden eyes returned to their natural silver color. Her lazy and apathetic temperament once again returned, making Xia Xinyue almost believe that all that happened was a fleeting mirage.
With a slight twist of his head, he glanced at Xia Xinyue's face with a calm but softer gaze. Seeing Jiu Shen's indifferent gaze fixed on her figure, Xia Xinyue smiled shyly.
“Come go. There are still two levels before we can reach the end of this mysterious cave.” Jiu Shen said with a poker face.
Xia Xinyue nodded her head but she could not help but grumble even after not seeing a single treasure around them. “The Origin God Realm expert was very stingy. After passing through the eight levels of his residence, we did not even find a single treasure. Really miser!”
Hearing her words, Jiu Shen's lips curved upwards to form a thin smile, but Xia Xinyue was now looking elsewhere so she didn't see this.
“Stop complaining. If I'm not mistaken, the treasure he left behind should be at the final level of this place. Just don't expect too much because years have passed. Some of his treasures may have already been turned into dust.” Jiu Shen muttered as he walked away, leaving a stunned Xia Xinyue who immediately ran towards him. He was afraid that there might still be some skeletal warriors along the way. If he did not want to live near Jiu Shen, then he would only seek death.
After knowing Jiu Shen's strength, he was now confident that he would be protected as long as he was nearby. Xia Xinyue also became excited at the thought of her suddenly becoming their Sect Master. Only a few days had passed, but he was now wholeheartedly devoting himself to serving this man. He was certain that their Ice Cloud Sword Sect would be feared throughout Nuar just because of him.
“Tuan Sect Master, you seem to be proficient in array formations. Could it be that you are also a high-level Array Formation Maker?” He looked at Jiu Shen with a curious expression on his face. Along the way, they found several array formations, but they were easily broken by Jiu Shen. His Ice Cloud Sword Sect also had some Array Formation Makers, but they were only tier 7 Formation Array Makers, and they would definitely not be able to discern the array formations within this mysterious cave.
Seeing that Jiu Shen was probably an Alchemy Saint and a top cultivator, he found it hard to believe that he was also a high-level Array Formation Master. Is there really such an all-round genius? However, the evidence was already right before his eyes, so he could only ask Jiu Shen to satisfy his curiosity.
Jiu Shen stopped in his tracks and his face became very unnatural. High-level Array Formation Maker? Perhaps, only in this world would he be qualified to be summoned like that.
“I learned very little about Array Formation, and my achievements in this field are mediocre. I am only a rank 9 Array Formation Maker.”.
