The laboratory nearby was also where the 'Weapon Man' was studied. Li Yao remembered that a lot of rusted ancient flying swords were piled up there.
As an expert of refining, he was interested in studying them. However, Chu Zhengqing and his daughter were not specialists in ancient magical equipment. They simply glanced at them and went somewhere else.
As their 'bodyguard', Li Yao could only follow them closely.
At this moment, on the other side of the thick wall of green rocks, Li Yao sensed the cold aura of a sword and the intense stink of blood.
One of the flying swords has been activated?
The screams grew louder and louder. The sound of flesh being minced could be vaguely heard. Bam! Bam! Bam! Collisions and clangs of weapons were echoing on the wall!
Li Yao sniffed and blinked out of the laboratory.
Outside the research room, the long and narrow corridor was already a mess.
Quite a few members of the Blade of Chaos were lying on the ground. Many of them were moaning, holding their broken limbs. Some of them were even lying in a pool of blood and passed out. There was no telling whether they were dead or alive!
At the end of the pathway, a cluster of dark red brightness was moving fast like lightning around an elite warrior of the Blade of Chaos and hissing in the air. It turned out to be a flying sword!
Li Yao recognized that the elite warrior was one of the 'Death Teeth Guards' on the Skeleton Island named 'Green Ape'. He couldn't have been more agile. However, he was still struggling to defend himself under the attack of the mysterious flying sword.
What a marvelous sword art. It must be an expert!
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. His telepathic thoughts spread out like tides, trying to lock onto the mysterious expert who was controlling the flying sword.
To his surprise, he did not find any connection between the expert and the flying sword within a hundred square meters nearby. There was nothing around the flying sword. There was not the slightest entanglement of telepathic thoughts or spiritual threads. It seemed that nobody was manipulating it!
It was truly uncanny. With Li Yao's current capability, even someone in the level of Yuanying or demon emperor would find it difficult to conceal their aura and hide within a hundred square meters of him!
After a moment of hesitation … The bloody flying sword pierced into the shoulder of 'Green Ape', a Death Teeth Guard brutally!
Chiliu! Chiliu!
From the flying sword … It actually emitted the sound of a ferocious beast eating!
Li Yao's pupils suddenly shrank. Only at this moment did he see the full appearance of this flying sword. The shock in his heart could not be any greater!
This flying sword was an ancient treasure from forty thousand years ago. It had long been rusted and dull. It was incomplete, and there were even several cracks at the front.
Countless black veins that looked like burnt vines were wrapped around the sword. They intersected and gathered at the hilt, forming a lump that looked like a tree burl.
At first glance, after the ordinary-looking flying sword pierced into the shoulder of the Death Teeth Guard Green Ape, the "vines" wrapped around the sword started to wriggle as if they were alive. Tens of thousands of blood threads, like tiny worms, instantly pierced into his flesh!
This flying sword. It seemed to have a strange suction force, and was swallowing the essence blood of the Green Ape of the Death Teeth Guard.
The green ape's shoulders and chest withered, collapsed, and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye!
For the Death Teeth Guard who had a strong body, a wound on the shoulder was not a big deal at all. However, the green ape seemed to have been confined by a mysterious force. There was a look of horror on his face. He was dumbfounded. He could only watch the decayed black hole on his shoulder expanding.
Swoosh!
Li Yao stomped on the ground with his heel. A broken saber bounced into his hand. His arm moved like a whip, and the broken saber pierced toward the bloody flying sword at a supersonic speed!
He had thought that the attack would be enough to blow the bloody flying sword away. But as it turned out, the hundreds of bloody streaks on the bloody flying sword formed a 'bloody spider web' in midair in the blink of an eye, entangling and swallowing the broken saber!
In only half a second, the Death Teeth Guard Green Ape had been sucked dry!
After absorbing enough essence blood, the withered vines around the flying sword were filled and expanded one after another, as if they had turned into powerful veins.
The black lump at the hilt of the sword also exploded after cracking noises. It was fluctuating and absorbing in soul-piercing noises. It was both like a heart that was exposed to the air and a hideous eye of a secret eye!
Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue. He had seen countless marvelous weapons in the Hundred Smelting Clan, but he had never seen such a weird flying sword that had truly melded a piece of magical equipment with flesh and blood!
This flying sword with a heart must be one of the achievements of the research in the Mausoleum of Chaos. I didn't expect that it could be woken up after absorbing enough essence blood after hibernating for forty thousand years!
Li Yao was secretly amazed. He was now certain that the flying sword was being manipulated by the enormous lump at the handle. Judging from its high speed, it was even more powerful than the unmanned flying swords of the Xing Yao Federation!
"Hiss!"
In front of the flying sword, a couple of bloody threads extended their heads like tiny vipers and shook at Li Yao's direction. As if they had sensed the delicious smell of flesh and blood, they shrieked and darted at Li Yao in a streak of redness!
"Ahhh!"
Two shrieks echoed behind Li Yao. As it turned out, Chu Zhengqing and his daughter were cramping in pain, holding their heads. The weird flying sword was also capable of mental attacks!
Li Yao snorted. His lips curled into a cold smile. His bloody pupils were spinning quickly. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the bloody flying sword!
The bloody flying sword did not expect that he would be so bold. The bloody threads around it expanded and stood on their own like infuriated vipers, stabbing at his arm brutally!
"Pa!"
Li Yao quickly grabbed the bloody flying sword in his hand.
The bloody threads around the bloody flying sword pierced deeply into Li Yao's arm, too, trying to absorb Li Yao's blood in the same way.
But this time, the strength of 'it' seemed to have vanished into the ocean. Not only did it fail to absorb any blood, an immense strength was also flooding into 'it's body along the bloody threads!
What a weird flying sword. It boasts the features of a demon beast and a piece of magical equipment at the same time. It can automatically secrete powerful corrosive fungi that will corrode the flesh of the target and absorb the blood as the energy to drive it!
The mental devil shrieked in both surprise and delight deep inside Li Yao's brain.
Li Yao's bloody pupils were spinning faster and faster. His immense mental power was flowing to the core of the bloody flying sword, trying to suppress the flying sword completely.
The bloody flying sword did not expect that its target would be so tricky. It shrieked, and clusters of bloody mist burst out of its body. Like a wild horse that had been freed from its reins, it darted forward abruptly.
At this moment, Li Yao had only triggered the strength of a demon general. Naturally, he was dragged forward by the bloody flying sword.
Li Yao was quite curious about the flying sword that had the features of a demon beast, too. He was interested in finding out how powerful the ultimate performance of the flying sword was. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to suppress it immediately. Instead, he simply grabbed the bloody flying sword and allowed it to rush underground.
The Mausoleum of Chaos had several floors and was like a three-dimensional city. The Blade of Chaos had only sent out an exploration team of several hundred people. Naturally, it was impossible for them to set up defenses in every corner.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Dragged by the bloody flying sword, Li Yao rushed unstoppably in the maze-like mausoleum. Very soon, he broke out of the explored area of the Blade of Chaos and completely lost his way.
However hard the bloody flying sword struggled, it could not get rid of Li Yao at all. Like an agitated animal, it crashed straight into the wall!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! It pierced through quite a few walls in a row. There was no telling whether the holes had been corroded or if they had simply been pierced through by the flying sword.
In front of him, however, was a square that had never been seen before. Shadows were everywhere, and a strong wind was coming at Li Yao!
Li Yao's pupils reflected the shadows in the square. He reacted immediately and pretended to be frightened. He shrieked, "Help!"
The strong wind changed from a stab to a sweep, trying to knock Li Yao off the bloody flying sword. Li Yao took the opportunity to let go of the sword and rolled on the ground, pretending that he was exhausted while he breathed heavily.
The bloody flying sword was like a snake that had been tossed into a pot of boiling oil. In earsplitting shrieks, it darted toward the source of the strong wind.
But after a roar, it was blown back by the force. Spinning quickly, it was nailed into the wall.
"Chi!"
Smoke was popping up around the bloody flying sword. The bulging veins a moment ago all withered. Even the enormous hematoma that looked both like a heart and an eyeball turned brown and shriveled, like a rotten eggplant.
The flying sword seemed to be 'dead'.
It seems that such a weapon that is half magical equipment and half demon beast has a high demand on the essence of blood. It needs to absorb blood all the time in order to keep functioning at a high intensity.
Li Yao thought to himself. If it can't absorb blood, it will fall into hibernation.
However, what was this place?
Li Yao glanced around quickly.
Just now, he seemed to have come to the east wing of the Mausoleum of Chaos by accident. It should be an unexplored area. In the hologram that he received on his retina, the area was completely dark.
However, as far as his eyes could reach, it was ablaze with lights. Almost ten enormous airbags had been filled at the center of the square, which seemed to be covering something inside. Outside of the airbags, dozens of elite experts were guarding.
Li Yao vaguely sensed that the experts were obviously much stronger than Yuchi Ba's Death Teeth Guards.
Many of them had unleashed their full strength when the bloody flying sword darted close. Judging from the intensity of their demonic energy, they were at least experts in the demon king level!
At least five demon kings!
Li Yao mumbled to himself. It seems that I've come to a place that I shouldn't have come to.
All the experts were wearing fully-enclosed protective suits that were glittering in silver brightness. They were wearing anti-poison helmets that were made of the skulls of enormous demon beasts and transparent crystals. Their eyes were hidden behind the dark crystals. Thick soft tubes were connected from the bottom of their necks to the back of their bodies. There was an enormous emblem of the Blade of Chaos on their chest and on their right arm, which was quite weird.
"Looks like this is the real exploration team!"
Li Yao had found it odd in the first place. Was it possible that a demon king such as Yuchi Ba could explore the entire Mausoleum of Chaos with a batch of Death Teeth Guards selected from the gladiators?
Wasn't this a little too much?
But now, it seemed that the exploration team led by Yuchi Ba was perhaps just a disguise. The team made of mysterious experts was the main force of the Blade of Chaos!
