Chapter 190: Get Out!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
‘As long as the corpse was complete and not decayed into a skeleton, Corpse-raising Devil Insect eggs would come knocking on its door and infect the corpse, turning it into a Corpse Puppet.
Yet, Liu Chenglong’s corpse had been preserved until today. If not for the protection of his true essence, what other reason could it be?
An array formation?
The entire mausoleum was indeed covered by an array formation, but it wasn’t without loopholes.
This was because Su Jingxing had confirmed that this was not a defensive, isolation, or offensive array formation.
Instead, it was an energy-gathering array formation.
Therefore, Su Jingxing was more inclined to believe that it was because his true essence had isolated the Corpse-raising Devil Insect egg’s terrifying senses!
Liu Chenglong’s remnant soul had said that once the array formation disappeared and the treasure was taken away, his corpse would turn to dust.
Now, the array formation was gone and Su Jingxing had stored the two light orbs into his palm space.
Liu Chenglong’s corpse laid motionless on the white jade bed.
The entire mausoleum, however, began to collapse. Cracks appeared in the dome, and extended down the walls.
Su Jingxing calculated the time and fixed his gaze on Liu Chenglong’s corpse.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, a speck of light appeared on Liu Chenglong’s corpse. But it vanished instantly.
In the next second, the entire corpse dissipated, leaving only a piece of clothing on the white jade bed.
He had really turned into dust!
Though taken aback, Su Jingxing did not slow down his movements.
Swish!
With a flash, he charged out of the collapsed mausoleum and sprinted down the passageway he came from.
Boom! Boom!
Boulders fell behind him, and the passageway caved in.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Directly ahead, a large amount of underground water surged in, flooding the passageway.
Su Jingxing released his true energy to protect his body. Every now and then, he would throw a punch at the falling boulders, shattering them.
He raced down the passage, punching savagely.
Finally, he made it back to the underground lake before the passageway collapsed completely.
Using his true energy, he propelled himself upwards and found the direction he came from.
He moved upward and returned to the spring tunnel that connected to the Sky Water River.
He followed the pathway and continued upwards. With his final breath, he dashed out of the spring and pushed upwards, leaving the Sky Water River.
Swish!
River water was lifted in the air and fell back onto the water surface, creating great splashes.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
‘The sound of rushing wind erupted at the same time.
A few figures charged from the two banks of the Sky Water River and surrounded Su Jingxing, who was standing in the air.
“Hand over the treasure you took from the mausoleum and we’ll let you go!”
A familiar voice said.
Su Jingxing, who was dressed in black clothes and a new mask, to work more conveniently, darted a glance at Yan Yuanfeng.
‘As the Deputy Sect Master of the Iron Thread Sect, Yan Yuanfeng and Su Jingxing had interacted quite a few times, and they had a good relationship.
Yan Yuanfeng was threatening Su Jingxing because he didn’t recognize him.
Other than him, there were also people from the Zhou Family, Wang Tiedao from the Wang Family, Lu Chen, and a few unfamiliar faces.
Without exception, their auras were very domineering.
‘They were either in the fourth-grade or fifth-grade.
Su Jingxing even sensed that there were seven people hiding in the woods that separated the two banks of the Sky Water River.
‘Whether they were out here or in hiding, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Su Jingxing.
“You sure got here fast.”
Su Jingxing scanned his surroundings and glanced at the Sky Water River. He understood why Yan Yuanfeng and the others had rushed to the entrance so quickly.
‘The Sky Water River was churning!
At this moment, the Sky Water River looked like it was flooding. The waters were surging and snarling.
And right below Su Jingxing, at the underground spring that served as the entrance to the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, a huge vortex had appeared.
‘The vortex was neither absorbing nor draining water.
Instead, it resembled two invisible hands stirring the river waters, creating a criss-cross vortex.
Such a phenomenon might have started the moment the door to the mausoleum opened and the array formation disappeared.
Since the Zhou and Wang Families, and the Iron Thread Sect happened to be located in the Southern District of Qinghe City,
they probably rushed over as soon as they received the news.
This made sense.
Having figured out the reason in a flash, Su Jingxing sneered.
How dare they intercept him when they weren’t even in the third-grade?!
Buzz~
Mobilizing 500 years of true energy cultivation base, he formed a terrifying pressure that enveloped everyone, including Yan Yuanfeng.
“How…”
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Before they could even shout, they plummeted right into the Sky Water River.
Lu Chen and a person from the Zhou Family was swept away by the surging river waters because they couldn’t control their bodies.
“Damn it!”
Someone cursed from the shore.
‘The next second, a ray of white light soared into the sky and chased after Lu Chen.
Swish!
Su Jingxing, who was suppressing the ripples in the air, also charged into the sky.
None of the remaining people hiding on the banks of the river dared to stop Su Jingxing. They watched helplessly as he disappeared into the horizon.
Stop him?
How?
‘What the f*ck? The person who entered the Mausoleum of Prince Qin and got the treasure was actually a third-grade expert!
‘Who would dare to stop him?
That would be courting death?!
Apart from feeling shocked and terrified, these people were also confused.
He was already a third-grade martial artist; why would he need Liu Chenglong’’s treasure?
Could it be that on top of advancing one to the third-grade, the treasure could also possibly help one reach the second-grade or first-grade?
Su Jingxing increased his speed to the maximum and flew south.
‘When he was sure that no one was tailing him, he returned to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain. He was also looking forward to seeing if the treasure left behind by Liu Chenglong could ultimately help him reach the first-grade.
To that end, Su Jingxing closed his door and windows, and sat on the bed before taking out the light orb that contained a special aura.
First, he tried to envelop it with his true energy, then slowly absorb it.
In the instant he did——
Buzz~
The light orb suddenly erupted with a radiance that covered Su Jingxing entirely.
A gush of boundless information burrowed into his brain like a needle.
Roar!
Asharp dragon’s cry resounded in his mind.
Ablack horned dragon emerged from his consciousness, floating and roaring non-stop.
As it roared, an unfamiliar will drilled into Su Jingxing’s sea of consciousness, trying to merge with his mind, will, and soul.
“Get lost!”
Su Jingxing’s eyes widened in anger. Suppressing his voice, he growled.
He frantically mobilized his soul power in his sea of consciousness to fend off the foreign consciousness.
Martial Art True Intent!
‘The so-called treasure that could advance a fourth-grade martial artist to third-grade and ultimately first-grade was actually Martial Art True Intent!
It was unknown what methods Liu Chenglong had used, but before he died, he had extracted his Martial Art True Intent and connected it to his physical body to be stored until today.
If Su Jingxing had absorbed it without knowing anything, he would be inviting trouble.
Liu Chenglong’s Martial Art True Intent, Sishui Horned Dragons had invaded Su Jingxing’s consciousness, forcefully merging with his will, mind, and soul.
Once the fusion was successful, Su Jingxing could indeed advance to the third-grade overnight and obtain the Martial Art True Intent of the Sishui Horned Dragons.
But!
‘This Martial Art True Intent did not belong to Su Jingxing.
Even though Su Jingxing could manipulate it, it wasn’t what he wanted.
The Sishui Horned Dragon belonged to Liu Chenglong.
If the fusion succeeded, Su Jingxing’s subconscious would also be affected by Liu Chenglong’s will.
For example, some habits, small actions, emotions, and even obsessions!
