The sudden sound of footsteps seemed to be coming from all directions. He could not tell which direction it was coming from.
Chen Nan stood up abruptly.
He scanned his surroundings and realized that the nine mummified corpses were still in their original positions. The sound of footsteps could not have come from them. However, other than the mummified corpses, what else could make the sound of footsteps?
Chen Nan quickly turned around and looked at the feet of the lady in red. His expression changed instantly.
The dead lady in red had taken a step forward with her right foot. Compared to before, she had moved at least ten centimeters forward!
Wasn't she already dead?
Chen Nan could clearly sense that the lady in red had no signs of life. She had been dead for thousands of years. How could she still move?
"What the hell!"
After keeping the scroll in his storage ring, Chen Nan cautiously took a few steps back. He wanted to leave this place.
However, as he was retreating, he suddenly felt that something was blocking his way. He clearly remembered that there was a large empty space behind him. There was no obstacle at all.
Could it be …
He glanced at the center of the hall from the corner of his eye.
Indeed, the mummified corpses on the right had disappeared again!
"Keke …"
A strange sound came from behind. Chen Nan turned around abruptly and saw the mummified corpse standing behind him. The shriveled yellow-black hand was reaching for his neck.
"Boom!"
Chen Nan did not hesitate. Instinctively, he struck his palm behind him.
However, just as he struck, the mummified corpse disappeared into thin air. All that was left was a shadow.
When he turned around, he realized that the mummified corpse had returned to its original position. It was standing at the front of the row on the right. It was motionless, as if it had never moved at all.
Chen Nan was sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him this time.
Just as he thought about it, the mummified corpse appeared in front of him again. Its shriveled fingers were reaching for his face.
"Slash!"
Chen Nan roared and struck the mummified corpse's hand with the Heaven-Destroying Demon Saber.
This time, the mummified corpse did not dodge.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing could be heard and sparks flew in all directions. Chen Nan was sent flying with his saber and crashed heavily into the woman in red.
The red-clothed woman's body did not move at all, but Chen Nan was knocked down and rolled down. She quickly grabbed a flying sword that had pierced her body, and with a little force, she landed steadily on the ground. However, because of the heavy blow, a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth.
Although the mummy looked like a skeleton, the power that erupted from it was something that Chen Nan could not withstand.
As for the red-clothed woman, although she had taken a step forward, she no longer had any reaction after being hit by Chen Nan. Her eyes were still tightly shut, and there was no sign of life.
Chen Nan was not in the mood to care about the life or death of the woman in red. He just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. The mummy was too strong for him to handle. If this continued, he would be beaten to death.
Just as he took a step forward, the mummy pounced on him again.
Chen Nan could not understand why the mummy did not attack him when he had been in here for so long. Now that he wanted to get out, it did not want to let him go.
Could it be because of the painting?
Chen Nan felt that this was very likely. After all, he had just put the painting into the Storage Ring when the mummy attacked him.
Seeing the mummy pouncing on him, Chen Nan quickly said, "Do you want me to leave the painting behind?"
The mummy seemed to be able to understand him. It stopped and nodded, making a "jie jie" sound from its mouth.
Seeing that it could understand him, Chen Nan quickly asked, "Why do you have to leave the painting behind? Is there a secret hidden in it? "
The mummy did not move. Obviously, it did not intend to pay attention to him.
Chen Nan felt that this was definitely not an ordinary painting. Otherwise, the mummy would not have stopped him. After all, when he pulled out the sword from the woman in red, the mummy did not move at all.
With this thought in mind, Chen Nan was even more eager to take the painting out and study it.
"I like this painting very much. Can you lend it to me?"
Chen Nan told a lie that even he did not believe.
The mummy took a step forward and raised its palm. Its meaning was obvious. 'Don't even think about leaving if you don't put down the painting.'
Chen Nan took a deep breath.
Boom!
He stomped his foot on the ground, and his entire body's Earth Energy exploded. His body shot toward the mummy like an arrow released from a bow.
Sensing the energy fluctuation on Chen Nan's body, the mummy seemed to be disdainful. It casually swung its claw, wanting to counterattack Chen Nan. However, at this moment, Chen Nan suddenly activated the Fighting Secret Technique and activated the Sky-Piercing Annihilation. The aura on his body multiplied as he charged toward the mummy.
The mummy thought that Chen Nan only had the strength that he had shown before. It did not expect him to suddenly go berserk at this critical moment. It quickly increased its strength, but its reaction was a little too late.
"Boom …"
Earth Energy shot out in all directions, causing the entire hall to tremble.
Chen Nan was pushed back by the impact. The mummy was also pushed back by the impact because it had underestimated its opponent.
Seizing this opportunity, Chen Nan performed the Sky-Piercing Annihilation again before he had time to adjust his inner energy. His body was like a stream of light as he charged toward the exit.
The mummy came to its senses and tried to stop Chen Nan.
Unfortunately, it was one step too late. Chen Nan's Sky-Piercing Annihilation was so fast that it brushed past the mummy's finger the instant it charged toward him.
Bang!
The mummy stomped on the ground angrily.
Its skinny body was like a stream of light as it chased after Chen Nan at an extremely fast speed.
'I can't beat you in a fight, but I can outrun you!'
Chen Nan cursed in his heart. His entire body spun rapidly, leaving a long trail behind him as he charged toward the exit.
The speed of the Sky-Piercing Annihilation was comparable to the last step of the God Slayer's Seven Steps.
However, the last step of the God Slayer's Seven Steps was only one step. After it was completed, the average speed would be affected from the first step onwards. On the other hand, the Sky-Piercing Annihilation was like a meteor streaking across the sky. Its speed was even faster than the speed of sound, but it consumed a lot of inner energy.
The Sky-Piercing Annihilation's powerful attack had a lot to do with its fast speed.
Even so, the mummy was still following closely behind him. Its speed was even faster than Chen Nan's.
Just as it was about to catch up, Chen Nan passed through the water-repelling barrier and entered the underground lake. The mummy did not seem to dare to come out of the cave. It was roaring angrily inside, and Chen Nan could vaguely hear it from outside.
Chen Nan turned around to look at the Vermilion Bird shaped cave entrance. His inner energy surged out, and his body was more agile than a fish as he returned the way he came.
'I hope those two bastards are still waiting for me up there!'
Clenching his fists tightly, Chen Nan's eyes were filled with a strong murderous intent.
(Two and three chapters are considered stable, okay? Do I have to release four or five chapters every day? My writing speed is slow, and I can only write about a thousand words in an hour. Even if I work myself to death, I won't be able to release five chapters unless I have a stockpile of manuscripts! Now, I can only write for five hours a day. My neck hurts from sitting for too long. It's an occupational disease.)
