Chapter 246
Chapter 246 – Blood Red Dragon Statue on the Ancient Stone Door
This was Duan Jianhong’s wishful plan. In his opinion, Nanbei Chao’s threat toward the Heavenly Sword Sect was actually the perfect opportunity for the Heavenly Sword Sect to rule the entire Qi Province.
“Sect Chief, if we really surrender to Nanbei Chao, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s reputation is going to be greatly affected.”
One of the noble Sect Elders said.
“Reputation? This is a world where absolute powers rules; the winner gets to write the history! As long as we come out victorious to rule the entire Qi Province, who will care about what happened before? At that moment, we will be the only power in the Qi Province, and we might even get the Martial Saint Dynasty’s attention!”
Duan Jianhong’s eyes were flickering with intelligence.
“What Sect Chief said is right, this is the perfect opportunity for the Heavenly Sword Sect, and if we miss it, we won’t have the same opportunity again. All of the four big sects are very powerful, and in order to destroy one sect, the opponent will have to pay a heavy price, allowing yet another sect to sweep in and harvest the fruits of labor. Therefore, no one really dares initiate a war, and this is the reason why the Qi Province has always maintained the same structured. But now, Nanbei Chao is going to break this structure, and rule the entire Qi Province. This is definitely a tough mission. If Nanbei Chao, the Burning Sky Pavilion, the Black Sect, and the Valley of Happiness are all weakened by the war, the Heavenly Sword Sect will be the biggest winner. Therefore, surrendering to Nanbei Chao and the Burning Sky Pavilion is actually a really good choice right now.”
Someone said. He really admired Duan Jianhong’s strategy.
Wu Jiu said.
“Let me do it.”
Guan Yiyun took a step forward, then he placed both hands on the stone door and pushed with all his strength. But, nothing seemed to happen.
“This stone door is really heavy, I can’t push it open with my raw strength. Looks like I have to use my yuan energy.”
A terrified expression emerged onto Guan Yiyun’s face. In an instant, he circulated his yuan energy to his palm, causing the palm to start emitting a bright light. After that, with a tremendous amount of force, he pushed toward the stone door.
Crack crack!
Finally, cracking sound could be heard from the stone door that hadn’t been opened for an unknown amount of years. But, with Guan Yiyun’s strength, he could only make the door produce some cracking sounds. Just as he was going to continue pushing, beams of blood red light suddenly shot out from behind the stone door.
Bang! Ahh!
Guan Yiyun let out a miserable cry as he was suddenly knocked back. With sharp eyes and quick movement, Jiang Chen immediately pulled Guan Yiyun back.
Puh!
A mouthful of blood left Guan Yiyun’s mouth, and his body was trembling.
“What a powerful red light!”
Guan Yiyun said in shock.
“Looks like the treasure is hidden behind this stone door, let me give it a try.”
Xuan Ye took a step forward and arrived in front of the stone door. Everyone back off and cleared the area for him. A serious expression emerged on their faces; this stone door was really mystical, it could attack by itself, and even a Divine Core warrior couldn’t open it.
Ha!
Xuan Ye let out a loud shout, then he pushed his bright golden palm onto the stone door.
Bang…
Xuan Ye’s strength kept coming from his body in a spectacular manner. It was not something Guan Yiyun could compare with. But, in the next second, more blood red lights shot out from the stone door.
Bang!
Just like Guan Yiyun, the powerful Xuan Ye was knocked back by the blood red light as well. His body was slammed into the opposite wall, and blood could be seen dripping down from his lips.
“Terrifying! If I had reacted a little bit slower, perhaps I would have suffered from a deadly injury just now!”
Xuan Ye showed a frightened expression. The blood red lights were like the most ferocious wild beasts; they attacked with mighty momentum, and even a Combat Soul warrior couldn’t withstand the attack.
“How can this happen?”
Wu Jiu furrowed his brows.
“Even a Combat Soul warrior can’t open this stone door. This means there is no way we can get hold of the treasure behind it.”
Tian Yishan was extremely shocked.
“This is terrible! What’s actually hidden behind the door? Even a Combat Soul warrior can’t touch, no wonder why no monsters dare come close to Inferno City.”
“What should we do now?”
All of them had ghastly expressions. Jiang Chen was also furrowing his brows. He didn’t think this was the situation they were going to face.
“I too have no idea how to open this stone door.”
Big Yellow shook his head. Although he could sense the existence of the treasure, he had no idea how to actually open the door.
Buzz buzz!
Right at this moment, buzzing sounds could be heard from the stone door. After that, beams of blood red light shot out from the blood red dragon statue. The scene frightened everyone, and they all fell back quickly. However, Jiang Chen wasn’t moving.
The blood red light’s target wasn’t them, it was Jiang Chen. When the blood red lights came out, they directly covered Jiang Chen, but they didn’t show any sign of attacking him.
“Look, those blood red lights didn’t hurt chief Jiang!”
Wang Heng exclaimed.
“Those blood red lights are really powerful, but why didn’t they hurt brother Jiang? This is unbelievable!”
Xuan Ye was astounded with eyes wide open.
“All the treasure that have sentience can only be obtained by those who were born with great destiny. Brother Jiang is a man with a great destiny, so I guess only brother Jiang can open this stone door.”
Wu Jiu said. The blood red lights didn’t hurt Jiang Chen, and that was the best proof for his explanation.
