Chapter 84: Sun_3
After he saw that Dragon Heart Fruit, the clamor of the entire great hall disappeared.
This world.
Seemed as if it contained only the "Dragon Heart Fruit."
Even Qian San's shouting couldn't wake him, the fogged Divine Sea of Venerable Baocheng's mind inexplicably reached out his hand towards the "Dragon Heart Fruit" in the air.
"Clang!"
The next moment.
A fierce wind sound resounded from the southeast side of the hall.
Qian San's expression froze, swiftly turning back. He couldn't have anticipated that after entering the Secret Tomb, a Yin God Venerable would make such a "low-level" mistake. Just as Venerable Baocheng reached out to touch the Dragon Heart Fruit, the solemnly standing Armored Giant suddenly moved, coming to life. A fierce flame lit in the delicate fissures of the helmet. The iron grip on the gigantic stone sword swiftly unsheathed the sword, and the grand Sword Qi swept out like a bursting tornado—
"Boom!"
Venerable Baocheng's pupils contracted, incredulously watching this scene.
The arm he had raised was caught entirely by the Sword Qi and shattered in an instant, turning into a fierce blood mist. The vast Sword Qi howled past, pain surging into his Heart Lake a moment later.
"Ahhh!!"
Venerable Baocheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper. He clutched his severed arm and fell heavily to the ground, staring in terror at the towering giant who unsheathed the sword, his Divine Sea suddenly cleared.
What just happened?
What was I doing?
No time to think.
The second Sword Qi followed immediately, with the newly revived Armored Giant striking with sword in hand, the enormous astral wind like a tsunami engulfing Venerable Baocheng.
Qian San flashed in, grabbing Venerable Baocheng by the collar, brushing the edge of the sword wind, throwing him out to narrowly avoid the second slash. Even though injured by Green Owl, this Eighteen Realms Yin God still showcased immense suppressive power, with Qian San standing where the Sword Qi slashed down. After tossing Venerable Baocheng aside, he clasped his hands together, sealing and casting, a bronze seal flew out from the Cave Heaven at his brows, expanding in the wind rapidly into a small mountain, bearing the sword slash forcibly, then slammed against the chest of the Armored Giant.
With a crash, the bronze ancient seal fell onto the Armored Giant's chest, forcefully denting it.
The Armored Giant staggered backwards, stumbling, causing the entire supporting pillar to collapse.
A look of helplessness appeared in Qian San's eyes. He hadn't intended to trigger the restrictions of the great hall, but the mutant incident had already occurred, and there was no turning back. After defeating the Armored Giant, he immediately flashed before the collapsed pillar, grabbing the "Dragon Heart Fruit" into his hand like lightning and swallowed it without hesitation.
It wasn't out of greed for this fortune.
But because he had been severely injured in the battle against Green Owl earlier and his body hadn't yet recovered.
Swallowing this Dragon Heart Fruit would rapidly heal his wounds!
"Crack, crack, crack..."
At this moment, a violent rumble sounded above the Heavenly Peak; after one pillar collapsed, the entire great hall began to tremble, and the remaining eleven pillars, along with eleven Armored Giants, all began regaining "consciousness".
"Escape! Leave here!"
Qian San shouted once more, but this time, his shout didn't have much effect.
The Xuanzhui Mountain was initially formed by Qin Baihuang recruiting "Loose Cultivators" and "Retainers" temporarily. They participated in this southern demon-hunt intending to earn rewards from the Refining Department. Now that a greater fortune lay before them, how could they just stop?
Seeing Qian San refining the Dragon Heart Fruit.
For a moment, many figures rushed upwind, attempting to seize the fortune before the Armored Giants fully revived.
At this moment, the only ones restraining their desires and choosing to follow orders were a few disciples of the Longevity House, Refining Department, and Northern County.
"...No!"
Seeing this scene, Qian San shouted in surprise, his eyes showing reluctance.
The Armored Giant's attack was something even Venerable Baocheng couldn't evade—
These people were merely in the Qi-controlling Realm, the Cave Heaven Realm...
To act now would almost certainly have only one outcome.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang—"
A series of explosions erupted intensely, with a series of blood mists bursting in the air above the great hall.
This scene was too gory.
The blood rain fell from above the great hall like a downpour.
Qin Baihuang's complexion was pale, witnessing this scene. A strong discomfort surged from his stomach.
"Escape!"
Qian San instantly appeared before Qin Baihuang, disregarding anything else, grabbed Qin Baihuang to leave. This tragedy was not of his intent, and he had done all he could, yet he still couldn't stop some from seeking death. Now the only thing he could do was save Qin Baihuang, the person whom his teacher had instructed to protect no matter what.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Qianlian's voice sounded.
"Brother Qian, have you not realized the great hall has been sealed?"
Qian San paused, his expression turning extremely grim.
He sent out his Divine Thought, only to seem to touch an iron wall, instantly rebounded back. Clearly before now, this barrier hadn't existed; when did it begin?
"From the moment you refined the 'Dragon Heart Fruit,' the great hall was sealed."
Qin Qianlian, dressed in white, maintained his composure even till now.
He raised his head, looking at the torrential blood rain, and gently said, "Perhaps the treasures within this Bai Ze Secret Tomb are only meant to be seen, not touched... Those who attempt to pluck the 'Dragon Heart Fruit' will have their arms cut off, those who devour a Great Saint Treasure will be sentenced to death."
A sour look appeared on Qian San's face. Gritting his teeth, he spoke, "I just checked; the hall's formation isn't overly firm. If we combine our strength, we might have a chance to break it open."
