Chapter 1249 - 1248: Terracotta General
The Terracotta Army, the Guardians of the Emperor’s Tomb.
The terracotta figures are similar to puppets in existence, but there are vast numbers of them. Although perhaps their individual attack power is not as formidable as the puppets, these terracotta soldiers possess an incredibly surprising level of coordination, and the terracotta army is like a single entity, launching dense assaults like the one just seen.
"Go!"
After a brief moment of hesitation, some of the sect powers took the lead and swiftly moved into the Bronze Gate.
Among them, Ling Chen saw the figure of Xuannv, who belonged to the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao.
The moment the troops of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao appeared before the Bronze Gate, the densely packed terracotta soldiers in the Underground Palace Square nocked their bows and shot rapid arrows towards the Heavenly Dao forces!
However, just as those arrows were about to hit the Halo Heavenly Dao forces, Elder Len of the Heavenly Dao suddenly flipped her palm, and a Bagua Array Compass abruptly appeared in her hand.
Infused with True Qi, the Bagua Array Compass spun swiftly, and in the next instant, a Bagua Pattern suddenly appeared before her, shielding all members of the Heavenly Dao.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ling Chen’s eyes subtly brightened, suspecting that this Bagua Array Compass was a highly powerful sacred object.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
All the arrows struck that Bagua Pattern and turned into dust, yet at the very moment they hit the pattern, it was clear that its glow dimmed slightly.
These arrows appeared to be no different from those of ordinary armies, yet they possessed such a demon-breaking effect that even this powerful sacred object, the Bagua Array Compass, was affected.
These things must have undergone a special forging process, and they’re certainly not your ordinary sharp arrows.
The first batch of experts who dashed through the Bronze Gate, their Protective True Qi was easily penetrated by these arrows, making it as though it was nonexistent.
Even Elder Len and the experts from the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao felt immense pressure under this barrage of arrows, both maintaining the Bagua Array Compass and dashing towards the lower levels of the Emperor’s Tomb!
The entire Emperor’s Tomb is extremely complex in its terrain, with who knows how many layers built, and it’s almost certain that the treasure won’t be in the upper levels but far deep within the Emperor’s real burial chamber in Qinling!
Following the Heavenly Dao, experts from major sects like the Sword Casting Villa, the Divine Female Sect, and the Taiqing Palace also rushed towards the Bronze Gate.
Upon entering the Emperor’s Tomb, a cloud of dense arrows rained down from above, but they used various methods to fend off the arrows while rapidly advancing towards the lower levels of the tomb.
"We’re going in too!"
Not waiting for too long, after seeing the movements of the various sects, Shen Bingxin also nodded to the group and then, like a flash of lightning, she appeared before the Bronze Gate.
Although the terracotta army is vast in numbers, their attack range is ultimately limited. Now that all the forces are flooding in, the arrow attacks naturally get spread out and minimized. This is the best time to enter the Emperor’s Tomb.
The moment Shen Bingxin appeared, dozens of arrows came tearing through the air, fiercely aiming at her. However, at this moment, an icy blue Treasure Pearl appeared in her hand, its color like a starry ocean, with a dragon-shaped glow swimming inside.
This object was the sacred artifact, the Water Dragon Orb, once used by the Spiritual Heart Saint in the Demon Dragon Palace.
Under Shen Bingxin’s control, a Water Dragon burst forth from the Water Dragon Orb, quickly expanding and coiling around her, forming a dragon-shaped Water Shield in front of her.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
The arrows shot towards the Water Shield seemed to hit the surface of water, as their forces were dissolved invisibly, powerless and falling down.
"Go!"
Turning to Ling Chen and his group with a loud shout, Shen Bingxin swiftly advanced under the cover of the Water Shield. Ling Chen and the others immediately followed; taking shelter under a big tree is wise, as getting through here would be hard without the Water Dragon Orb’s power.
However, some experts from other sects were not so lucky. Without powerful sacred objects and methods, they were pierced by the dense arrows as soon as they stepped into the Bronze Gate, their bodies shot to pieces, staining the sky with blood, leaving striking blood mists in mid-air.
Faced with such a large number of experts charging in, the terracotta army also seemed to sense it, and their attacks became even more fierce. However, the troops from the super sects swept through the space, making it hard for the terracotta army to stop them, pushing forward like a hot knife through butter.
Amidst this charge, everyone quickly reached the depths of the Palace, only to find a ten-thousand-foot staircase stretching downward to the lower burial grounds. But at the entrance of the staircase, a towering figure stood guard like a statue.
This statue-like towering figure was clearly a terracotta soldier but many times larger than the ordinary ones. He wore heavy black armor and held a long Hook Scythe, like an ancient Demon God asleep.
Swish!
As everyone’s eyes fell on this figure, he suddenly opened his eyes, the black-hole-like eyes releasing a hellish glare that shocked everyone to the core.
"Terracotta General!"
Ling Chen’s heart trembled slightly, realizing that this obstacle was not an ordinary terracotta soldier but the Terracotta General, the commander of the Terracotta Army!
"It’s just a terracotta soldier. How could it possibly cause trouble?"
Nearby, Saint Qian Yan sneered, suddenly striking out with a palm. The vast true energy condensed into a gigantic flame palm and blasted down towards the Terracotta General!
Boom!
In everyone’s view, the flame palm slammed into the terracotta figure, collapsing the ground beneath, making everyone tense up. Saint Qian Yan must have used all his strength with that palm.
Yet, in the next moment, most people were dumbfounded because the terracotta figure remained unscathed beneath the dust cloud!
And at that very instant, the Terracotta General abruptly lifted his head, stepping forward with heavy strides, the entire world losing its color with his advance.
An extremely terrifying killing intent erupted from the General’s body, transforming the vast Palace instantly into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Asura Hell!
