Chapter 24: The Law Enforcement Officer

  "Collapsing Mountain Fist."

  At the critical moment, Fang Yan was not thinking and launched his strongest blow at the strange sword energy that was shooting towards Fu Qingxuan.

  "What is this thing, it's too strange, we must be careful on the road." Erasing the sword energy transformed by that small snake, Fang Yan had a face full of doubt.

  "Damn it, this Sword Grave is really dangerous. In the passage leading to the tomb, they actually encountered so many snake-like sword auras attacking them." As they continued to advance, the snake attacks that Fang Yan and his group encountered became more and more intense.

  "Fang Yan, Xin Hao just now listened to you not letting Fang Chao and the others come in, otherwise this time we would have been seriously injured or killed." Thinking of that small snake's attack being exceptionally sharp, enough to instantly kill any Qi Refining stage eight or lower cultivator, Fu Qingxuan had a lingering fear.

  The tunnel wasn't very long, but the two of them walked with extraordinary difficulty. By the time they saw the light ahead, both of them were covered in wounds, without a single unscathed spot on their bodies.

  The closer they got to the end of the passage, the denser the sword energy attacks became. At first, there were only one or two, but as the distance narrowed, the number of sword energy attacks suddenly increased to over a dozen. They couldn't dodge them no matter how hard they tried, and even with all their might, many sword energy attacks still landed on them. The two of them were in a very precarious situation.

  Fu Qingxuan has been able to hold on until now thanks to her powerful cultivation, while Fang Yan has been able to hold on entirely due to the repair system in the Xianjie system. After consuming a large amount of experience points, his life value has always remained at its peak, full blood state. However, the system is not omnipotent, and after losing a lot of blood without being able to replenish energy, his face is deathly pale and terrifyingly abnormal.

  "Finally, this passage is over." The two passed through the Sword Qi Passage and entered a vast open area. In the dark brown soil were inserted numerous exceptionally sharp and gleaming long swords.

  "Jianzhong, I didn't expect that there would really be a Jianzhong in this empty grave." Looking at the various long swords inserted into each tomb, Fu Qingxuan's face was filled with joy. She was skilled with swords and naturally hoped to have a good sword, so her Falling Leaf Sword Technique could be brought out to its extreme.

  "Look, what is that? How can there be snakes in the Sword Tomb, green ones, white ones, red ones, so many snakes." Entering the Sword Tomb, Fang Yan and the others did not encounter the strange sword energy attacks they had previously experienced. Inside the tomb, he saw a number of small snakes, green, white, and red, which seemed to have been awakened by their arrival. One by one, they opened their cold snake pupils, staring fixedly at the intruders before them.

  "When I came, my adoptive father mentioned that in this Sword Grave space, there are ancient strongmen who opened up sword tombs. These sword tombs are the places where strongmen of the sword path unwillingly let their weapons collect dust and be stored. As long as we pass the tests inside, we can obtain the recognition of these divine weapons and take them out of the Sword Grave space. If we fail the test, there is a possibility that we will die and disappear." Fu Qingxuan's face was full of doubt.

  "Fang Yan, you're only at the 7th level of Qi refinement now. The Fang family will be relying on you to carry the burden in the future, there can't be any mistakes. Let me scout ahead for you first!"

  "No way, I have the ultimate spirit soldier in my hand, let me come first!" Fang Yan was a man of great courage and would not hide behind a woman's back, he shook his head and said.

  Although Fang Yan was only in the seventh stage of Qi Refining, once he went all out, Fu Qingxuan might not be his opponent.

  As they spoke, Fang Yan's long sword in his hand was thrown with force, shooting into the Sword Mountain in front of him.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss......"

  Jianshan was attacked, and the small snakes of various colors hidden in Jianshan instantly turned into sharp sword auras with cyan and white stripes. With a hissing sound, in an instant, the long sword that seemed extremely sharp turned into flying ash.

  "What a sharp sword aura! This divine soldier, which could cut through iron like mud, has turned into flying ash." Looking at the sharp long sword that was destroyed in an instant, both of them felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, Fang and Fu Qingxuan did not rush in directly, otherwise, they would have ended up like the long sword.

  "Fang Yan, this sword mausoleum is too dangerous, we can't get through it at all. We must think of another way, or there should be other passages leading to the Sword Mausoleum." Fu Qingxuan's face was filled with doubt, and she was no longer as calm as before. If Fang Yan hadn't used his long sword to block a wave of attacks for her, she would have been seriously injured, if not killed. The hundreds of sword energies that attacked them were just the outer perimeter, and if they truly entered the inner part of the Sword Mountain, the number of sword energies triggered would be even more terrifying. Even a strong warrior in the Yuan Qi realm or the Xian Tian realm might be sliced into pieces and left with no bones remaining.

  "En, must avoid this sword mountain." Fang Yan nodded in agreement, the treasure sword was good, but one also needed to have a life to take it.

  "Huh, how is there a small island of intestine in this Sword Mountain? Is this the passage through Sword Mountain?" In Sword Mountain, all sorts of ancient swords were inserted everywhere, but only one area had no long sword. This passage was extremely narrow and could only allow one person to pass through. Fang Yan couldn't help but lightly exclaim when he saw it.

  "Huh, there really is a small path here. There aren't any of those eerie snakes around, so it seems this is the way through. If we don't touch the long swords in Sword Mountain, we should be fine." Fu Qingxuan also noticed this winding and rugged mountain path.

  "I'll give it a try." Fang Yan took a light drink, holding the top-grade spiritual soldier Blood Slasher, his face full of vigilance, slowly moving forward. As long as things didn't go well, he would immediately retreat back.

  "Safe, walking this way won't trigger a sword aura attack." After walking dozens of feet away, Fang Yan didn't receive any attacks from the Sword Mountain, his face filled with excitement.

  Fu Qingxuan heard the sound and hurriedly followed up.

  The two men walked out for nearly a mile, and they were already in the center of Sword Mountain. This winding path was like a vacuum zone, where countless small snakes with white and green stripes were everywhere, but none of them attacked them actively.

  "Look, there's a platform ahead with a sword on it." After passing through the Sword Mountain, Fang Yan saw that in front of him, there was a platform with a groove on it, and inserted into the groove was a slender silver-white sword, half the width of a normal long sword, less than an inch wide, a woman's waist sword.

  This sword is radiant with treasure light, the hilt is made of white jade carving, engraved with a pattern of a phoenix spreading its wings, it's not an ordinary product at first glance.

  "Good sword, Xiang sister, this sword suits you well, I'll get it for you." Fang Yan couldn't help but smile as he looked at the long sword on the platform.

  "Be careful, I'll cover you from here." Fu Qingxuan's face flushed with a hint of shyness upon hearing this, and she replied calmly while keeping a vigilant gaze around her surroundings.

  As Fang Yan approached the platform, the sword seemed to have detected his hostility and suddenly emitted a sound similar to that of a phoenix's cry. The sword gradually turned red, and a scorching hot power burst forth from its body. A beautiful and charming Bath Fire Phoenix rose into the air, and a wave of scorching heat surged towards Fang Yan.

  "Fang Yan, be careful, this sword is a legendary artifact, its aura can take shape and it's extremely formidable. You must be cautious." As soon as the Vermilion Bird rose into the air, Fu Qingxuan was shocked and hastily reminded Fang Yan.

  A divine artifact, a powerful weapon that surpasses the Extreme Treasure Spirit Sword, only cultivators above the Innate Realm can wield it. The artifact has a spirit and can transform into sword energy to attack enemies on its own without anyone controlling it, just thinking about it is terrifying.
