Inside the room, Chu Kai stared towards the previously collapsed ceiling. He could have gone out through the path that Xue Xiao Wen or Wang Xiao Cheng had walked on, but being close to those two people was not a good idea either.

He had already shown his dislike towards Xue Xiao Wen. To be honest Chu Kai could have attacked the woman and finished her off, but given that Xue Xiao Wen was the daughter of the Elders of the Dead Moon Sect-she had to think of another way as well.

If Xue Xiao Wen was killed, then it was certain that the Dead Moon Sect would come out and ravage anything. The true power of the sect was still unmeasured until now.

The fact that the Wushi Mountain Sect and Jian Yang City were up to a tremendous attack with just a few Dead Moon Sect members made Chu Kai think twice about getting involved with the sect.

"............"

Chu Kai jumped up, he returned to the place where he had previously come to this room. The surrounding wall was not too dark as it was illuminated by the light from the moon grass and no other movement was heard coming close.

To others, it felt incompatible if it was Chu Kai who became the Dragon Swordsman. He was just an ordinary person, completely a beginner in sword techniques, let alone his still extremely naive nature. But what seems is not so at all.

That naive look could change if there was no one around him from his obvious facial expression that Chu Kai was already hiding something big.

"This place..." Chu Kai released his fist on the hard wall that was before him. The attack was powerful and produced an explosive sound.

!!!

A huge hole was created and among the dust that flew over due to Chu Kai's attack, he could see a black wolf-like creature. There was a large hole in the belly of the creature that signified that he was hit by a powerful attack without warning.

Chu Kai stepped in, his feet slightly stomping on the blood of this monster before starting to circulate his gaze around. He knew that there were many passageways and it would be very difficult if he had to find his way to the core of this ancient tomb cave just like everyone else did.

Those warriors could do the same, but it seemed that they did not want to waste energy. On the other hand, this ancient tomb cave holds many treasures and heirlooms scattered in various places. But Chu Kai did not come here to take such a treasure. He has a more important target.

"Founder Wei Zhang Zihan has already taken away Miss Xia Ling Qing and Long Yang Wang from here, then that means.... There's nothing to save in this place."

Chu Kai clenched his right hand and started to catch his breath. He again punched the wall in front of him while taking out the Dragon Breathing Technique. An enormous spiritual energy came out in the form of an animal head.

The attack was a Death Roar technique whose shape was perfect and capable of making its way to a faraway place. The loud sound of the explosion of the attack was able to shake the ground inside the ancient tomb cave. The attack shocked the warriors and even the guardian creatures that were in the other room.

!!!

The rude actions carried out by Chu Kai made several ancient tomb guards awaken. A group of six warriors must face the worst thing in their lives due to an explosion that comes out of nowhere.

The six warriors faced a giant lizard-shaped monster with two heads. And because of the ferocity of the creature, it did not take long until the swordsman breathed his last.

Chu Kai walked calmly, he could hear the sound of monster roars and if focused on some point-she could hear the shouts of the people in this place. Merely, his facial expression had not changed at all let alone showing fear or anything.

"It's not known how many warriors have entered this place, but it's none of my business." Chu Kai said, "Sorry father. But I have no intention of helping anyone in this place. Those humans were extremely greedy, they even sacrificed their own comrades when faced with danger."

"I did not become a Dragon Swordsman just to exterminate demons or anything, but also to finish off humans who were completely unworthy of living in this world."

Chu Kai continued walking, his eyes were very different from the ones he had been showing all along. It felt like Chu Kai was... Like everyone else.

"Miss Xue..!"

Xue Xiao Wen was walking alone when he heard a sound of exclamation from the side. He turned his head and saw two red-clothed warriors walking closer towards him.

One of the two people was a short-haired girl named Zhu Liu, and the other was a man named Tang Wu Shang. They were arguably disciples of the Dead Moon Sect who were specifically escorting Xue Xiao Wen.

"Take this and come with me," Xue Xiao Wen threw the spear in his hand and was captured well by Tang Wu Shang.

The woman's reaction to the presence of her two colleagues seemed so ordinary, as if she had expected both of them to find themselves well wherever she was.

It was indeed not impossible since Zhu Liu had the ability to detect the existence of Xue Xiao Wen. He was a member of the Dead Moon Sect who had a special skill, which was to use his spiritual energy to communicate with rodents.

"Have your rats found the location of the sword?" xue Xiao Wen's tone of voice was calm as he spoke to Zhu Liu.

"Miss Xue calmed down, right now where the sword had already been found. You can follow me, right away,"

Xue Xiao Wen smiled and then started to step up, "You guys still remember what to do next, right?"

"Of course," Tang Wu Shang said, "After getting the heirloom.... All the warriors in this place will die soon."

"Is also included... The Rufeng Tower Sect Elder?" Xue Xiao Wen looked at the young man walking beside her and saw the figure smiling.

Tang Wu Shang replied, "Miss Xue. If you so desire the death of Elder Sheng Zhei Wang, then I will definitely do so soon.... For you."

Xue Xiao Wen laughed lightly, "Don't just for now. I'd rather gather a lot of enemies and destroy them all at once."

From the look in his eyes, it was clear that Xue Xiao Wen had set up a plan. The actions that led him to seize the heirloom of the Three Calamities Spear that Wang Xiao Cheng should have had were most likely part of the plan he had drawn up.

He did not even heed the warning of that young man of the Tianzhi Sect and without hesitation fled. Chu Kai's thoughts were completely right towards this woman. Xue Xiao Wen was unbelievable.

Zhu Liu walked in front, the spiritual energy that formed like a root of energy propagating between his legs. It did not take long until a group of rodents were seen running forward while making a squealing sound.

It just did not last long, the sound of an explosion made Xue Xiao Wen, Zhu Liu, and Tang Wu Shang startled. That audible voice was very different from the battle voice of the warriors against the guards of this ancient tomb cave.

"Do you feel it too..?" Xue Xiao Wen opened his voice. His facial expression looked so serious.

Zhu Liu widened his eyes as if surprised by something. He looked at Xue Xiao Wen and said, "Miss Xue. We have to hurry. Some of my pets died while on their way to the heirloom."

The core part of this ancient tomb cave looks like a battle arena with a circular arena stage shape. There are some hallways that seem to be a sign that anyone can come to this place from any direction. Surely after they passed through the seemingly endless hallway.

On the stage of the arena, there are piles of rocks and several skulls of living things, not the least of which is a human skull. And not only the skull, but there were also many swords stuck around it.

"..............."

Some swords were seen giving off unusual auras. Chu Kai had only taken a few steps when the atmosphere in this place started to turn strange. He heard the sound of wind and moving objects. Chu Kai also heard a scraping sound and just as he was about to turn his head-something quickly flashed towards him.

!!!

Chu Kai reflexively tilted his head and next came the sound of an explosion. An object stuck in the wall, almost hitting Chu Kai's head if he did not immediately dodge.

Chu Kai turned around to see what had almost hit him earlier and he was shocked to find out that the object turned out to be a sword with a bright red blade.

!!

The sword moved again and pulled itself from its place. The few swords that were around Chu Kai also began to reveal their existence. The weapons floated up and then simultaneously darted off in an attack.

Chu Kai moved to dodge every attack that came. His reflexes made the swords difficult to reach Chu Kai despite the unavoidable attacks.

!!

Chu Kai's right arm and left thigh were injured. He held back his groan and moved back. His facial expression did not change, it was precisely so focused on finding a gap from his current situation.

"This tightness..." Chu Kai pulled out one of the swords that were stuck in and shot out. He also fended off some of the attacking swords as if they had their own thoughts.

"I think this place is already filled with death aura. The spirits of beings who had died in this place for a long time had been residing in the sword so as to be able to make these things move. The problem... There were some among them that didn't seem to be ordinary swords."

!!!

Uhh!

Chu Kai was pushed back, he tried hard to withstand the attacks that came in a row. The swords shot out as if not letting him take a breath of stuff for a moment.

"Dragon Breathing Techniques.... No Traces."

The technique Chu Kai unleashed made the previously darting swords come to a halt in midair, but only for a short time until they returned to their previous state. This incident was certainly very surprising.

"Wait on! It's..." Chu Kai realized something.

The movements of the flying swords always followed the direction of the sound of wind blowing by his ears. And although it was faint, yet there were several occasions where Chu Kai could see the stretch of red thread.

The thread's trajectory seemed to be a line that was continuously followed by the swords before him. Chu Kai took a breath, he felt the need to test out what this had found.

Chu Kai jumped up and as he set his foot, the position of his body changed. The moves he made were not as fast as before, but were full of calculations. And it was precisely because of that movement that Chu Kai's body became lighter.

!!

Chu Kai was surprised. Somehow, but the movement of his feet could completely overcome these flying swords.

"It feels.... It's a sword technique!"

!!!

Chu Kai finally realized the secret of the sword-sword movements flying around him. The weapon was moving, yet it did not have a killing appetite. It was as if those weapons were attacking with the intention of having Chu Kai follow their movements.

"Great-" Chu Kai was just about to praise when many voices began to be heard in his ears.

"Your brother... I now do not need to worry about the Thousand Sword Technique of our sect disappearing. You exceeded my expectations,"

"The future of this sect is in your hands, you have great talent."

"They're so jealous because our Peach Hill has a diamond like you. You've made me so proud."

"What is this sound from memory..?" Chu Kai frowned. There are too many voices so you need to focus on listening to some of the important ones. Of course, by keeping his eyes on the steps.

!!

Chu Kai widened his eyes. This time he heard a voice full of anger, even felt he was able to imagine the sky covered with dark clouds, lightning that struck repeatedly, and the swiftness of rain.

Not only that, Chu Kai seemed to see that there were many humans lying lifeless, dying horribly, with pools of water mixed with blood. Even the gripping atmosphere that was in his vision entered and pierced his bone marrow.

"Monster... How can you do something like this?!"

"You took out your own brothers and sisters and you also want to kill your Shizun?!"

"Shizun's? Pffft ha ha ha. The old man only taught me the Thousand Sword Technique. And he knows that I'm after more than that. Senior, I am very angry and it is not good to harbor this anger alone. So I share it with you, hmph. Shouldn't it be?"

"You... Demons like you"

"Don't say anything you'll regret. I could have forgotten and just shown you how scary it is... That thing you call the devil."

"SHUXIAN..!"

!!!

"Dragon Breathing Technique... THE EXPLOSION..!" Chu Kai shouted and punched towards the floor. The entire skull in the room exploded into pieces and even the swords flying around exploded.

Only high-level heirlooms to the upper level are still in shape, although there are some of them that are split in two. The only object that stuck and did not budge in its place was a sword that somehow looked like a stone.
