The Ruler
69. Fighting in the Grave Aisle.
After Qing Ruo and his entourage entered the dark hole that was the passageway of the tomb, suddenly the large stone that had previously been removed by Qing Ruo moved and closed back, shutting down, making Jianyu who was at the very back row was a little surprised.
" Jianyu, stay calm. That huge stone was a formation door that could close back when it did not feel a trace of golden aura." Qing Ruo explained, while moving following Heian Bai and Dalu Rong who were leading the troupe.
" What is the ruler?" Jianyu asked in astonishment.
" General, earlier the stone was special to those who use dark powers, but I changed the spell arrangement of the formation for those of us who use the power of gold."
" Good young ruler, I understand.." looked at Qing Ruo in astonishment.
Inside the darkness of the passageway that was able to accommodate those hundreds of people.
" Hide the aura and use golden eyes" Heian Bai said, walking slowly without using light or light, so as not to attract the attention of the power that was in the hallway, or activate the jebaka along the hallway.
The deeper they entered the passageway, the stronger the dark aura, making them even more cautious.
****
Outside the hallway.
Hua Zun and Hua Thong who were guarding at that place suddenly felt some aura approaching that place.
" Sister Zun," Hua Thong said in a cautious manner.
" I feel it too" Hua Zun replied.
Not too long later, the two of them saw eight late-tier god Emperor warriors, and two third-rate semi-eternals approaching that place.
" Shen Lieren," Hua Zun said softly, standing from his hiding place, observing the hunter God Clan.
Behind the illusion shield.
" Brother, I've no longer felt that foreign aura..."
" Right, I have also not felt it, but based on the smell of the golden mouse, that alien aura appeared in this place..." While taking out two golden mouse figures from behind his clothes.
The two figures as big as a golden-colored adult's fist squeaked.
From behind the illusion formation spell. Hua Zun and Hua Thong who were watching their movements had even taken out their weapons.
" Swhuss.." a golden spear, wrapped in blue fire, appeared in the hands of the two of them, ready to be released.
" This golden rat, its kissing power is amazing. I don't even feel the leakage of aura from the formation spell seal created by young ruler Qing Ruo, but she can do," Hua Thong said, staring intently at the people from the Shen Lieren clan.
" If they make a move, we have to kill him immediately" Hua Zun said.
" Well, but what if we call in the help of the other troops?" ask Hua Thong.
" So calm down, I have a plan," Hua Zun replied confidently.
In front of Hua Zun and Hua Thong. Those disciples from the Shen Lieren clan, were still in his place. Staring at the barren area in wonder and curiosity, then releasing the golden mouse that was in his hand.
" Brother, they did it" Hua Zun said as he spearheaded the mouse that was jumping from the hands of the leader of the group, followed by Hua Thong who also released his spear to kill the other rat.
" Swhus. swhus.." a golden spear emerged from the void, darting at high speed, spearheading the golden mouse with a bang.
" Dhuar...." The explosion of blue flames instantly killed the two treasure hunting beasts, shocking the disciples of the Lieren clan.
" Swhus...." They moved swiftly forming a defensive formation.
" Oh no, we are ambushed," the group leader shouted frantically, as he sensed the power of the high-level weapon that appeared, while releasing a sword slash, dispelling the flying spear that shot straight towards him.
" Dhuar..." Attack collides.
" Ukh..." The leader of the group who was a Third Level semi-Eternal was pushed to spit out fresh blood from his mouth.
" It's very strong" he said in self-defense.
" Dhuar.dhuar ..." Loud explosions echoed, along with the fall of emperor level warriors.
" Y...! Baj***n. Show yourself!" Shouted the leader of the group furiously, while shaking his sword against the golden spear.
" Baj***n! We're not even bothering you...." The others shouted in annoyance, upon seeing the other eight disciples now there was nothing left.
" Brother, if we don't go, we'll die, too..."
" Argh... Who are you guys!" they were angry and began to be overwhelmed.
" Who will allow you to enter this place? The golden robe army did not tolerate that. It's the same with you against the emperor. And the punishment is death..." Hua Zun said, firing another spear shot.
" Swhus..." The spear shot out like a flash of light, piercing through the chest of the leader of the group and knocking it down.
" Swhuss..." The body fell down and vanished within the illusion formation spell, making the other figure so frightened, and trying to escape.
" General, beg your forgiveness," cried the figure, thinking they were facing an army of golden robes.
" Swhus...." Hua Thong's golden spear blocked his movement.
" Dhuar.." the attack collided, but too late, Hua Zun's spear shot through his back.
" Swhuss..." The lifeless body fell down, making the place calm again.
" Brother," Hua Zun said, bringing Hua Thong to clear the trail of battle aura from that place, as well as taking care of the two bodies of the group's leaders, and taking them elsewhere, to serve as a diversion.
***
In the dark grave.
Qing Ruo and his entourage continued to move deeper and deeper, without knowing the small battle that was taking place outside.
" This place is as if it's bottomless" Hua Zhen said speaking telepathically to Qing Ruo.
" Sister Hua Zhen is right. According to my calculations, we are currently at a depth of three hundred meters," Qing Ruo replied.
" Right, I feel that way too" Hua Zhen said.
As they were conversing, they were suddenly struck with a stinging foul scent.
" This scent is again," Heian Bai said staring at Qing Ruo who was acting like an ordinary person.
" It seems like this passageway is safe," Murong Jianyu said.
" Brother Jianyu is right" said Dalu Rong who was in the front row.
After walking for five hundred meters, they arrived at a gigantic stone door that covered the passageway, sealed with a high-level formation spell, making Qing Ruo and his entourage even more curious.
" This stone door was not even able to dampen the explosion of dark aura and a very pungent foul smell. Brother Ruo," said Dalu Rong, staring towards Qing Ruo.
Qing Ruo who understood I mean Dalu Rong, then started to make hand seals.
"Swhuss.."a golden disc as big as an adult's palm reappeared.
" Prepare!" Qing Ruo said as she continued to work.
Dalu Rong and his entourage who knew Qing Ruo's intentions, immediately circulated their strength, preparing to face the possibility that was bound to happen.
" Since along the passageway earlier, we didn't even find any obstacles at all, it means that those obstacles will start soon," Heian Bai said.
" Retreat...." Said Qing Ruo while taking out Xue Luo's sword and slashing the stone door.
" Dhuar's...." The stone door exploded. Simultaneously with the appearance of thousands of fire snakes as large as the bodies of adults with a length of fifteen to twenty meters instantly moved to attack them.
" Dhaurs.... Dhuar.." a loud explosion shook the passageway, turning the pitch-black snake with a tail that radiated red flames it exploded.
" This is just the beginning, stay alert," said Qing Ruo who did not want his entourage to act rashly, and expend full power, let alone face a god-king-level beast up to the level of an early stage god emperor.
" Be careful. The poison was already at the final level of fire," Jianyu said as he unleashed a blue flame tread attack, burning down the fallen snakes, making sure that the dark animal was completely dead, while Hua Zhen was in charge of collecting the soul gems of the snakes.
" Dhuar..." Loud explosions continued to echo within the hallway.
Thirty minutes passed, but the fire-tailed snake still continued to appear, and now even desert scorpions and poison ants appeared.
" Even a tier three immortal Semi would not be able to survive if alone," Qing Ruo bathed while releasing a white flame attack from her palm.
Suddenly Qing Ruo and her entourage were startled with a loud explosion from behind. With reflex Jianyu released a sword slash.
" Dhuar's..." A loud explosion echoed with the exploding bodies of the giant insects that suddenly appeared.
" It turns out that they want to surround us," Qing Ruo said as he helped Jianyu.
