When he saw Nie Dongliu and Bai Wuji attacking him and Lu Fengxian, Chu Xiu's eyes lit up. They had taken the bait!
In a chaotic battle, he had to control the rhythm of the battle. He could not give them too much time to think.
As Chu Xiu and the other three attacked, the rest of the warriors from the major sects and the non-affiliated warriors also joined in the fight.
It was a complete mess. No one knew if there were any other treasures in the underground palace. In any case, there were more than ten boxes in front of them. These boxes were placed in front of the skeleton. It was obvious that these boxes were the most important things to the skeleton when it was alive. There was no doubt that they were treasures.
Moreover, the skeleton itself was like a black crystal. It was obvious that it was a powerhouse who stood at the peak of the Jianghu when it was alive. Just like the glazed Buddha bones left behind by the senior monks of the Buddhist sects, they were immortal for tens of thousands of years. They were all treasures.
Moreover, if you took the glazed Buddha bones of the senior monks of the Buddhist sects, people from the Great Light Temple or the Bodhi Zen Monastery might come after you. But if you took the skeleton of a demonic warrior, there would be no need to be so careful.
Bai Wuji was already fighting with Lu Fengxian.
In fact, the two of them walked the same martial path. Although one used a spear and the other used a halberd, they both had great strength. As they clashed, the clanging sounds of their weapons could be heard. Every time a warrior of the same level was hit, the opponent would be smashed to pieces.
However, Lu Fengxian was born with great strength, while Bai Wuji had inherited the techniques of the Fluttering Snow City in the far north. In this aspect, he was much stronger than Lu Fengxian. So in the first exchange, there was no clear winner.
On the other side, Chu Xiu felt Nie Dongliu's palm coming down. He immediately turned around, and in the evening drizzle, a crimson slash appeared. The saber light was beautiful, but it carried a strong murderous intent.
Nie Dongliu didn't need to use any weapons. His hands were enough to control the universe!
As his hands danced, there was a yin and a yang in his palms, as if the universe was changing. It directly affected the momentum of Chu Xiu's saber, causing his saber to deviate. The powerful palm force blasted on the body of Chu Xiu's Red Sleeve Saber. The huge force directly forced Chu Xiu to step back!
A grave expression appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes. He was ranked sixth on the Longhu Leaderboard. Back then, Wind Sweeping Tower had given Nie Dongliu this ranking. Part of the reason why Nie Dongliu was ranked sixth on the Longhu Leaderboard was because of Chu Xiu's schemes, but it was also because of Nie Dongliu's strength.
Nie Dongliu had probably reached the pinnacle of the Innate Realm. He was probably one step into the Inner Invulnerability Realm!
In terms of strength, Nie Dongliu was even stronger than Xu Chongyang, who was killed by Chu Xiu. His Heaven and Earth Hands controlled the universe. As long as Chu Xiu's saber momentum was stuck by his opponent, no matter how fast Chu Xiu's saber was, he would not be able to escape from his opponent's grasp.
Looking at Chu Xiu opposite him, Nie Dongliu's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.
Nie Dongliu really wanted to recruit a young and powerful independent cultivator like Chu Xiu to be his subordinate. However, since they had already become enemies, it was better to get rid of Chu Xiu as soon as possible so that he could have one less problem.
Just now, Nie Dongliu did not make a move outside because he was worried about his reputation and the treasures in the ruins. Now that Chu Xiu dared to snatch something from him, Nie Dongliu naturally had an excuse and reason to deal with him.
Most importantly, Nie Dongliu already felt threatened by Chu Xiu.
If it were Yue Luchuan and the others, they might be very disdainful of Chu Xiu. Even if Chu Xiu was stronger than them now, they still thought that Chu Xiu was only from the Jianghu and would not amount to much. As he progressed, he would become slower and slower because of the lack of cultivation resources, and they would definitely surpass him.
But Nie Dongliu did not think that way. His father had once told him to never underestimate any Jianghu ruffians.
Any aristocratic family, a few generations back, was also from the Jianghu ruffians. He, Nie Renlong, could use thirty years to go from a ruffian to the current leader of the Morgue Manor, a famous overlord in the Jianghu. Why couldn't others?
If there was one Nie Renlong in the Jianghu, there would be more Nie Renlongs!
Nie Dongliu remembered his father's words. Now that he had an excuse and opportunity, Nie Dongliu immediately attacked Chu Xiu. Every move was filled with killing intent!
Chu Xiu was forced to retreat by Nie Dongliu. Just as he was nearing the secret boxes, Chu Xiu suddenly did not retreat. Instead, he advanced. He sheathed his saber and used the Great Grappling Hand, grabbing at Nie Dongliu's arms.
Seeing this, Nie Dongliu laughed coldly and said, "The Grappling Hand you cultivated is indeed exquisite, but in terms of hand skills, how many people in the Jianghu would dare say they are stronger than my father's Heaven and Earth Cloud Hand?"
Nie Dongliu's arms shook, and his palms contained the power of heaven and earth. While resisting the pull of Chu Xiu's Grappling Hand, he punched at Chu Xiu's chest!
Exchanging injuries for lives!
Even if Chu Xiu's Great Grappling Hand could cripple Nie Dongliu's arms, Nie Dongliu's palm strike could directly shatter Chu Xiu's heart meridian!
Chu Xiu frowned. He wanted to act more realistically, so he did not use his full strength. However, he was forced into a corner by Nie Dongliu.
In that instant, Chu Xiu retreated, and his saber turned around and slashed at Nie Dongliu.
Nie Dongliu did not retreat at all. His palms turned into a clamp, and he caught the red sleeve saber between his palms. He wanted to snatch it away, but Chu Xiu suddenly exploded with a powerful killing intent and killing intent. A powerful force that could pierce through the sun and moon burst out, making Nie Dongliu feel the power of the red sleeve saber explode. Only then did he let go of the red sleeve saber, allowing Chu Xiu to escape again.
Looking at the bloodstains on his hands, Nie Dongliu's eyes revealed a gloomy look. Condensing killing intent and killing intent to hurt the enemy, and its power was actually similar to Gang Qi. This martial art was very strange.
However, if he had reached the Inner Qi Realm and cultivated Gang Qi, even if he could not release it, he could still condense it in his hands and easily resist this power. That way, Chu Xiu would not be able to escape so easily.
Just as Nie Dongliu was about to continue his pursuit, Chu Xiu shouted at Lu Fengxian, "Retreat!"
Lu Fengxian, who was fighting with Bai Wuji, was also somewhat suppressed. Hearing this, she immediately retreated, retreating into the chaotic crowd.
Nie Dongliu's eyes showed a hint of hesitation. Should he kill Chu Xiu, or take the secret box?
The most precious golden secret box was right in front of him, and he had seen Chu Xiu's strength. Although his cultivation level was higher than his opponent's, it would still be very difficult for him to kill him alone.
Looking at the few disciples he brought with him, they were also in a chaotic battle. Just as Nie Dongliu was hesitating whether he should call them to kill Chu Xiu together, Bai Wuji had already rushed toward the secret box!
Seeing this, Nie Dongliu did not hesitate any longer. He directly charged at Bai Wuji, and the two instantly began fighting.
During this time, the other secret boxes were also divided among the crowd. Some were taken by the disciples of the big sects, and some were taken by the rogue martial artists. Only the most precious golden secret box was left untouched.
Previously, there were people who wanted to take it, but they were instantly killed by Nie Dongliu and Bai Wuji. Everyone had learned their lesson. The most precious secret box was targeted by the two of them, and it was theirs to take. Whoever touched it would die.
At this time, on the periphery, Lu Fengxian said to Chu Xiu with some pity, "If it weren't for Bai Wuji, the two of us could have easily defeated Nie Dongliu."
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Don't worry, let's go for the other secret boxes. Do you see the cyan secret box in that martial artist's hand? You go for that one, and I will go for the secret box in Yue Luchuan's hand. Once we get these two boxes, we will immediately escape! "
Lu Fengxian was stunned. He did not ask why, but directly began to snatch it.
Since the incident with the Chen Family, although Lu Fengxian was betrayed by a friend, he had also made another friend. It was absolutely reliable to cooperate with Chu Xiu. At least, at this time, Chu Xiu would not cheat him.
At this time, Chu Xiu also stared at the secret box in the hand of one of Yue Luchuan's men. Among the people present, only he knew that among the dozen or so secret boxes, the most precious was not the one that Nie Dongliu and Bai Wuji were fighting for, but the one that he was going to snatch. The second was the secret box that Chu Xiu had pointed out to Lu Fengxian.
From the beginning, Chu Xiu took the initiative to snatch the secret box, in order to disrupt the rhythm of these people, so that they would fall into a melee as soon as they came up.
Moreover, Chu Xiu's target had always been the golden secret box, which gave people a subconscious illusion that the golden secret box was the most precious in this batch of secret boxes.
However, in fact, this was indeed the case. This batch of secret boxes was neatly arranged in a row, and the golden secret box was in the center, the one closest to the skeleton. It looked like it was made of the best material, so normally, the thing inside would be the most precious.
However, in the fierce battle, everyone's nerves were tense, and they forgot that the preciousness of the thing inside the secret box was not determined by them, but by the owner of the secret box.
Maybe some things that were considered trash to them were the most precious in the eyes of the secret box's owner, so they would be placed in the strongest and safest secret box!
