The shining tiger-shaped saber glare pounced out of Golden Universe Tower like a sentient beast. Happy and the old zither player were the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and they felt the greatest threat.
This time, the saber glare came at them even more fiercely. It was so fast that they could not cover their ears. Before the duo could react, a ghastly and ruthless presence crashed into them.
"This is bad!"
The old zither player was the first to have his expression change.
At the moment the powerful wind crashed into his body, his power in the dao of heaven circulated with a bang, and he negated most of the damage.
With a whoosh, the old zither shot out of his sleeves.
Slap!
He grabbed it tightly in his hands, and a powerful presence in the dao of heaven surged out of the old zither player's body. He had a hunched back and kept a low profile, but at the moment of life and death, he finally showed his strength.
Boom!
He stood firmly on the stone stairs of the pyramid, and as if he had taken root, he held down the stairs tightly. He left behind deep footprints. Even if his robes fluttered loudly and he looked like he was about to be blown away by the wind, his feet still stuck to the stone stairs without moving. His black cloak fluttered behind him, and his pale silver hair danced madly in the wind. It revealed wrinkles that were filled with the ravines of time, as well as a determined and bright gaze.
Thud!
The old zither stood upright against the wind and crashed heavily against the stone stairs in front of him.
Thud!
The old zither player quickly held the zither and knelt down on one knee.
He looked straight ahead, and his eyes shone brilliantly in the direction of the tunnel at the entrance of the pyramid.
He flung his arm.
Clang!
His incomplete fingers plucked a string of sonorous and exciting notes from the zither strings. Substantial saber blades manifested from the notes like an endless river. They flowed in an endless stream, and like a tidal wave, they cut into the tiger-shaped saber glare.
But …
Before the tiger-shaped saber glare, the thousands of sound blades were as fragile as paper. They could not stop the tiger-shaped saber glare from pushing forward, and they crumbled like they were nothing.
The old zither player's expression changed. He swiftly pushed his hands forward and drew six zither strings at lightning speed. They went in the direction of the entrance of the pyramid.
Shick!
A barely audible sound rose. The air outside the pyramid froze when the old zither player drew the strings.
A huge vacuum appeared in front of the tiger-shaped saber glare.
"ROAR!"
At the moment White Tiger's saber glare charged out of the tunnel, it ran into the vacuum created by the old zither player, and it could not help but show a hint of a delay.
Even though there was only a slight change in his speed, the old zither player seemed to be having an incredibly hard time holding on.
The moment the White Tiger Saber cut into the vacuum belt, a mouthful of blood unconsciously spurted from his mouth, dyeing the zither in his hand red on the spot. It was a ghastly sight.
However, the heavily injured old zither player did not retreat. Instead, while the saber glare from White Tiger was slightly obstructed, he opened his mouth and shouted anxiously.
"Young Swordsman Happy! Save him!! "
In the blink of an eye!
Everything happened in an instant, and only Happy, who had his spirit sense, could make his choice and adapt to the situation within such a short time.
Whoosh!
There was no need for the old zither player to say anything. Happy had already jumped out of the pyramid and activated Petite Dragon in time to avoid the charge from White Tiger's saber glare. While the momentum of White Tiger's saber glare weakened, he unhesitatingly threw a large number of throwing knives at the barbarians who were thrown out of the pyramid.
Sou sou sou sou sou …
A large number of flying knives rained down.
The throwing knives that filled the air were like dazzling white flowers. They circled around the pyramid, and they were like mottled white snowflakes that fell down in a very balanced manner.
The throwing knives that did not possess a lot of damage had become a life-saving item for a group of elites at the peak of Myth Realm at that moment!
The eyes of the barbarians lit up!
"Thank you!"
Their lives were at stake, and the group naturally cherished this rare chance to survive. They stomped on the ground, and the group found their balance in the air.
Thud!
Thud!
They used the momentum in the air to jump up.
While the old zither player blocked White Tiger's saber glare, the barbarians jumped back into the pyramid.
Even so …
The group was still drenched in cold sweat.
When they thought about how they had nearly become one of the countless corpses in the mercury moat, they returned to the pyramid after much difficulty, and when they looked at Happy, their gazes were filled with great gratitude.
But Happy did not have time to pay attention to their situation.
Once he threw the throwing knives, the old zither player was in a very bad condition.
The power of one slash from White Tiger's saber glare far surpassed the full-powered strike from the alliance master. Its momentum was fierce, and even Happy did not dare to easily move it.
The old zither player might have been successful in blocking the tiger-shaped saber glare with his zither force, but he had paid quite the price.
A smooth zither force that was as smooth as jade was destroyed by the tiger-shaped saber glare along with the true qi that had appeared in the air.
Thud!
The zither string was broken.
The old zither player's expression changed. Before he could react, the zither in his hands suddenly exploded with a loud crack, and wood shards flew everywhere.
The sudden, powerful impact was accompanied by the tiger-shaped saber glare that came charging at him from the tunnel of the pyramid. It landed on the old zither player's body, which was not very strong.
Boom!
"Cult master!"
"Cult master!"
The barbarians had just escaped death, and before they could gain their footing, they saw the old zither player being sent flying out of the pyramid. They could not react to the situation at all, and their faces turned pale.
"How worrisome."
Happy sighed in resignation while he was in the air.
He formed his fingers into the shape of a claw, and at the moment the old zither player was sent flying to his side, he reached out resolutely and seized the old zither player's arm tightly. Then, he used the force to return to the pyramid.
"This is great!"
"Cult master!"
"Thank you! Thank you, Young Swordsman Happy! " The group of barbarians surrounded him. They were first saved by him, and now, their cult master was also saved by Happy. The group of people now regarded Happy as a god.
But …
Happy's expression was unpleasant when he put down the old zither player.
Boom!
At that moment, a black figure shot out of the pyramid. He staggered and looked pathetic before he landed on the stone stairs at the top of the pyramid.
"You're here as well?"
"It's you?"
Happy was shocked. Once the two of them saw each other, they spoke at the same time.
The first person to fly out of the tunnel of the pyramid was Ye Gucheng, who was in the dao of heaven. However, he was currently in a very bad situation.
City Master Ye Gucheng was originally cold, arrogant, and elegant, but at that moment, he no longer had his previous image. His hair was a mess, and his clothes were in tatters. There were a few terrifying wounds on his chest and arms. The longsword in his hands and his right arm were already dyed red with blood. At that moment, blood was still dripping down, as if he had just gone through an incredibly devastating battle.
Ye Gucheng's pathetic state caused Happy and the people outside the pyramid to be shocked.
"City Master Ye, what happened in there?"
"Tiger Soul. I didn't expect that the treasure sealed in the deepest part of the desert palace would be the greatest weapon that nearly destroyed the entire world of martial artists!" Ye Gucheng might have been shocked that Happy and the others could pass through the mercury moat, but he soon recovered. He smiled wanly and shook his head with an indifferent expression. "If I had known that it was this weapon, I would not have gotten myself into this mess."
"Tiger Soul?!"
The group of people outside the pyramid shuddered violently.
Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox looked at each other at a loss.
They had heard of Tiger Soul's might before.
It was said that this weapon was extracted from the spine of Chiyou's steed and fused with Chiyou's soul. In the end, it was refined into a peerless weapon that could seize the blessings of the world. It was an ancient demon vessel that was sentient and had the will to kill and destroy itself! It was a weapon that had once suppressed Heaven Crystal and nearly destroyed its master as well as the entire world of martial artists!
"Ahem … Ahem, you're right! It's indeed that thing! "
The heavily injured old zither player coughed in the crowd while he was supported by a group of barbarians. His face turned even paler. "The tiger-shaped saber glare just now was the killing will released by Tiger Soul! I wonder if the person who has Tiger Soul is the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance or Martial Paragon Bi Xuan? "
"The alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance."
Ye Gucheng noticed the old zither player's condition. He raised his arm with great difficulty and answered in anguish, "This doesn't seem to be the first time he entered the desert palace. He entered the pyramid before all of us, then ambushed Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, Dongfang Bubai, and I, who entered right after us."
"Oh?"
Happy was shocked. "Could it be that even if we worked together, we still couldn't take down the alliance master? How is Osaya now? "
Ye Gucheng redirected his gaze to Happy.
"Osaya is fine, but you underestimated the alliance master's strength, and you underestimated the might of Tiger Soul."
The pyramid was surrounded by the mercury moat, and Ye Gucheng could not use the power of the dao of heaven to leave in his current condition. He had nowhere to go, so he answered Happy and the others' questions.
Then, the words that came out of Ye Gucheng's mouth caused Happy and the others to be shocked.
"In truth, since the alliance master was the first to enter the pyramid, when we found the tunnel to the pyramid, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, I, and Dongfang Bubai entered the pyramid together."
"…"
When Happy and the others heard this, they sucked in sharp breaths at the same time.
"He succeeded?"
Many people had incredulous expressions on their faces.
After all, three people in the dao of heaven had worked together, but they were ambushed by the alliance master. It sounded incredibly unbelievable.
"We were wary of the alliance master's strength, and we were worried that he would guard the place and attack us one by one. That's why we worked together to enter, but we didn't expect that he would have already obtained Tiger Soul's acknowledgement, and he has officially awakened the soul that holds Tiger Soul. His strength has increased by leaps and bounds … Careful!"
"Roar!"
While Ye Gucheng spoke, another astonishing tiger-shaped saber glare surged out of the pyramid. It charged fiercely at the people outside the tunnel.
This time, Happy did not hide his strength.
"Attack together!"
With an angry roar, he activated Full Winds in Long Skies at full strength. A fierce sword force worked together with the wild sword will from Heaven Crystal in his hand to cut the tiger-shaped saber glare in half, and it scattered in the air.
He attacked with his sword!
It was only at that moment that Ye Gucheng noticed the astonishing sword will from the longsword in Happy's hand. His eyes lit up, and he said slowly,
"Heaven Crystal!"
"City Master Ye, you have a good eye." Happy cast Ye Gucheng a wary glance.
Ye Gucheng hissed and frowned. "That's not right. Logically speaking, Heaven Crystal's sword will should not lose to Tiger Soul at all. It shouldn't only have this much strength." By the way, it's said that Heaven Crystal was once damaged and broken. That's right, that's right. The sword spirit is already dead, or it's a remnant sword spirit. Heaven Crystal might be extraordinary, but it's no longer a complete Heaven Crystal Divine Sword! "
Ye Gucheng's words caused Happy to be slightly tempted.
'This guy seems to know swords very well!'
