2077 Losing Consciousness
A broken ray of light flew out of the Heavenly Square Cauldron and landed on the tomb. It seemed like the thick darkness was suddenly ripped by the light.
Something slowly appeared on the tomb.
Chu Liuyue’s brows moved slightly.
Following that, it was the Great Azure Sun Ax and the Flying Cloud Painting!
Three rays of light gathered.
A series of mysterious texts was revealed, bit by bit.
Chu Liuyue looked over.
The symbols were rather familiar as she seemed to have seen it on the Celestial Shield.
To confirm her thoughts, she still summoned the Celestial Shield to check it closely. As expected, the symbols were indeed exactly the same.
However, the tomb only had half of the symbols engraved on it compared to the Celestial Shield. Besides, the symbols seemed to be buried. After the light from three holy weapons shone on it, only a portion of it was lit up.
A small remaining part was still dark and unclear.
Could it be that I need all five holy weapons present to make it show its original appearance? Chu Liuyue hugged her arm with one hand and fell into deep thought. However, the reaction of the three holy weapons is enough to state that this is likely Mr. Su’s tomb! The two of them were actually buried together…
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in, still a little overwhelmed.
The world just thought that after they tied in the shocking battle back then, they hid themselves and disappeared. Who would’ve expected their tombs to be set together?
Tang Ke actually let me in. Could this… also be related to Mr. Su? After all, I have three of Mr. Su’s holy weapons.
The Celestial Shield suddenly had a ripple. Then, a faint light surged out and covered half of it!
Chu Liuyue was very familiar with this feeling.
At the very beginning, when she was outside and had not come in, the Celestial Shield had a similar reaction!
It turns out… it wasn’t Tang Ke summoning me but Mr. Su’s tomb?!
After that, Chu Liuyue instinctively reached her hand forward. Her palm lightly covered the symbols.
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
It was as if the sound of heartbeats were coming from the tomb!
Chu Liuyue was stunned. This heartbeat isn’t mine!
Just as she wanted to retreat, she suddenly saw a large glow of light beneath her palm! Almost at the same time, the force in her body went toward the tomb at a shocking speed!
Oh no!
Chu Liuyue instinctively felt that something was amiss and increased her force. However, she shockingly realized that she could not remove her hand from the tomb!
There seemed to be some existence inside crazily absorbing her force!
Her body seemed to be restricted by an invisible force, and she could not move!
Bang bang!
The heartbeat sound became increasingly clear!
Chu Liuyue could feel the force in her body rapidly depleting!
She furrowed her sharp brows. Luckily, my dantian contains a shocking amount of force. If not, this usage would be enough to exhaust me!
“A’Yue!” Detecting that something was amiss, Tuan Zi also jumped out.
Seeing Chu Liuyue’s furrowed look, Tuan Zi was extremely anxious.
She and Chu Liuyue had an entwined fate contract, so she knew very clearly just how terrifyingly fast the latter’s surrounding force was being absorbed.
“A’Yue, let me help you!”
Tuan Zi was about to go forward, but Chu Liuyue softly stopped her. “Stop there! Don’t come over!”
There is an extremely strong aura within the tomb. The more important thing is that it came for me! Even Tuan Zi can’t help much. If anything goes wrong, Tuan Zi might even be implicated.
Hearing this, Tuan Zi instinctively stood rooted to the spot. But seeing Chu Liuyue’s rapidly paling face, her heart clenched tightly, and her pair of blackberry eyes were covered by a layer of mist. “A’Yue…”
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath. “Zi Chen!”
Once she said this, a black figure flashed across her eyes.
Zi Chen came out with the command!
Chu Liuyue said, “Help me look after Tuan Zi.”
Zi Chen nodded. “Yes.”
Then, he was about to take action when he saw Chu Liuyue’s forehead covered in sweat. His cold and nonchalant face had a few rare hints of hesitation. “Master… do you really not need help?”
Her appearance isn’t assuring.
Chu Liuyue forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
The reason why she asked Zi Chen and Tuan Zi to temporarily retreat was that she also felt that this situation was too dangerous. If something happened, the three of them would all perish together.
Hence, after much consideration, such a choice was most suitable.
Zi Chen instantly understood what she was thinking. His thin lips pressed against each other, and he nodded. “I will not let you down. Master, you must be careful.”
Then, he moved and came to Tuan Zi’s side.
At this point, Tuan Zi planned to go forward barefooted.
Before she could take two steps out, Zi Chen blocked her. “Master wants us to silently observe.”
Zi Chen looked down at the little fellow, and his voice was as cold as usual.
Tuan Zi’s vision was blocked by the two long legs. Hearing this, she looked up and crossed her arms indignantly. “But A’Yue is in danger now! I want to go!”
She grunted in indignation and turned around, planning to walk around Zi Chen. As she walked, she muttered, “…I’m the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan’s young mistress, and I’ve already opened my fifth meridian! I can definitely help A’Yue! Even if I can’t, I’ll just call Clan Leader Grandpa—aiya!”
Before she could finish her sentence, her body was suddenly raised.
Zi Chen directly picked her up. “Follow whatever she says.”
The small little Tuan Zi was easily locked in his arms.
She started to struggle with her life. “Let go of me! I want to go over—”
However, her small body was not worth a mention in front of Zi Chen.
Even though her strength had greatly improved, Zi Chen was not one to be trifled with. After all, the great phoenix dragon clan leader—Miao Zhen—was behind Zi Chen!
Compared with Tuan Zi, she was indeed more inexperienced.
Seeing that Tuan Zi was relentless, Zi Chen squinted and coldly said, “If you’re not afraid of getting in her way, go ahead.”
Once he said this, Tuan Zi finally became obedient. I’m just worried about A’Yue…
After some thinking, she looked up at Zi Chen. “Do you think A’Yue will really be fine?”
Zi Chen raised his chin. “You can see for yourself.”
He was also her fiend, so his worries weren’t lesser than Tuan Zi’s. However, he knew that the current Chu Liuyue did not need their help.
That tomb… came for her from the beginning!
Time slowly trickled past.
Chu Liuyue’s face had no blood color.
Her vision had patches of black. That was a sign of her losing consciousness.
She closed her eyes.
