Chapter 120: Finally, the treasure is captured successfully
"Lei Yi, accept your fate!" Amidst a deafening roar, a burly figure burst through the air. It was none other than the returning Wild Lion Warrior. He had clearly received instructions from the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect. He immediately charged with murderous intent, his eyes glaring at Lei Yi.
Lei Yi's heart trembled, and before he could react, the mad lion warrior had already brought down his head with a huge hammer, swinging it with tremendous force.
"Be careful!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed, and the long whip in her hand stretched out like a snake, wrapped around Lei Yi's waist, and pulled hard, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
"Boom!" The war hammer hit the ground with a deafening sound. A huge deep pit was instantly smashed into the hard rock ground, and gravel flew everywhere.
"That was a close call!" Lei Yi broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Dongfang Liuli with gratitude. He knew that if Dongfang Liuli hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been smashed into a meat pie.
"Don't be distracted, be careful!" The Fairy of the Spirit Butterfly shouted, warning. She fluttered her hands, and dozens of colorful butterflies flew out from her sleeves, transforming into streaks of light and attacking the Crazy Lion Warrior.
"A mere trifle!" The Mad Lion Warrior snorted disdainfully, and powerful energy burst out from his body, forming an invisible barrier that blocked all the butterflies.
"Damn it!" Fairy Lingdie cursed inwardly. She knew that with her and Dongfang Liuli's strength, they would never be able to defeat the Mad Lion Warrior in a head-on confrontation. She could only delay time as much as possible and wait for Lei Yi to get rid of the leader of the Ba Dao Sect.
At this moment, Lei Yi and the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect were already engaged in another exchange of blows. Their figures intertwined, swords flashed and shadowed, and the battle was extremely fierce. Although the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect had been poisoned by the Ecstasy Incense, his power was profound and he had gradually recovered. His attacks became more ruthless, and every move was deadly.
Lei Yi did not dare to be careless at all and responded with full concentration. The long sword in his hand turned into a dragon and collided violently with the sword of the leader of the Ba Dao Sect, sparks flew and bursts of harsh metal friction sounds were emitted.
"It's right here!" Suddenly, the military advisor Shen Ji, who had been watching coldly, seemed to have discovered something, and a cold smile appeared on his lips...
Military Strategist Shen Ji's sinister gaze darted back and forth across the battlefield like a venomous snake. He observed Lei Yi and the others' every move, trying to find their weaknesses. Suddenly, a sinister smile curved his lips, and he pointed in Dongfang Liuli's direction, whispering something to the Crazy Lion Warrior.
Upon hearing this, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Mad Lion Warrior. He no longer paid attention to the flying butterflies and entangled whip shadows, but strode towards Dongfang Liuli.
"Not good!" Dongfang Liuli cried out inwardly. She knew that the gap between her own strength and that of the Mad Lion Warrior was too great, and that a head-on confrontation would be a dead end. However, the Mad Lion Warrior was coming at her with such force that she had no place to hide.
"Liuli, be careful!" Lei Yi also realized the danger and shouted anxiously, but at this moment he was entangled by the leader of the Badao Sect and could not get away to rescue.
At this critical moment, Dongfang Liuli displayed astonishing courage and determination. She took a deep breath and poured all her energy into the whip, transforming it into a dazzling curtain of light that blocked her way.
"Bang!" The Mad Lion Warrior's massive hammer slammed heavily onto the light curtain, making a deafening noise. The light curtain trembled violently, but ultimately, unable to bear the weight, it shattered. Dongfang Liuli groaned as the immense force sent him flying, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Liuli!" Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing Dongfang Liuli injured, his fury instantly ignited. An unprecedentedly powerful force surged from his body. He roared, and the longsword in his hand burst into a dazzling light, actually deflecting the attack of the Ba Dao Sect leader in one fell swoop.
"You're looking for death!" Lei Yi's eyes widened in anger, and his body transformed into a flash of lightning, rushing towards the Crazy Lion Warrior. The long sword in his hand seemed to transform into an angry dragon, carrying a sharp killing intent, and went straight for the Crazy Lion Warrior's vital points.
The Mad Lion Warrior obviously didn't expect Lei Yi to burst out with such powerful strength, and was forced to retreat for a while.
At this moment, the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect, who had been closely watching the battle, had a glint in his eyes. He saw Lei Yi, blinded by anger, reveal a flaw, so he seized the opportunity, abandoned his struggle with the Spirit Butterfly Fairy, and in a flash, he sped towards Lei Yi, letting out a sinister laugh: "Boy, hand over the Horcrux!"
Lei Yi felt the fierce murderous aura coming from behind him, and alarm bells rang in his heart, but he did not panic, but...
...Instead of retreating, he advanced, using the momentum of his forward charge to swerve nimbly and avoid the Ba Dao Sect leader's sure-shot blow. The Ba Dao Sect leader hadn't expected Lei Yi to react so quickly, to dodge his attack, and was startled.
Lei Yi took advantage of the Ba Dao Sect leader's moment of distraction to recall the various dangers he had encountered during his training in the ancient tomb and the methods to overcome them. He kept his eyes and ears alert, and keenly detected a flaw in the Ba Dao Sect leader's moves.
"Now!" Lei Yi shouted in his heart, and the speed of the sword in his hand suddenly increased, turning into a series of afterimages, pointing directly at the weakness of the leader of the Badao Sect.
"Not good!" The leader of the Badao Sect felt the fierce murderous intent contained in Lei Yi's sword moves, but it was too late to dodge.
"Puchi!" With a light sound, Lei Yi's sword tip accurately pierced the shoulder of the leader of the Badao Sect, and blood gushed out instantly.
"Ah!" The leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect screamed, stumbling back, clutching his wound with a look of agony on his face. He had never imagined that he would be injured by an unknown kid, and at such a critical moment.
The already precarious situation collapsed instantly when the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect was injured. Seeing their leader defeated, the Wild Lion warriors' morale plummeted, and they were defeated one after another by Lei Yi, Dongfang Liuli, and the others.
After Lei Yi dealt with the enemy in front of him, he immediately came to Dongfang Liuli and asked with concern: "Liuli, are you okay?"
Dongfang Liuli shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"That's good." Lei Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to the altar emitting a faint light not far away. He knew that the Horcrux was there.
Lei Yi took a deep breath and walked towards the altar. As he approached, the light on the altar became more and more dazzling, eventually transforming into a pillar of light that shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire ancient tomb.
In the center of the light column, a crystal clear jade ruyi lay quietly, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. It was the Horcrux they had been searching for.
"Success!" When the Fairy Lingdie saw this scene, a happy smile appeared on her face.
Lei Yi reached out and grasped the Jade Ruyi. A warm and powerful force instantly surged into his body, making him feel stronger than ever before. He understood that with this Horcrux, he would have even greater power to protect himself and those around him.
However, just as they were about to leave the ancient tomb, Lei Yi suddenly sensed an unusual aura, as if a greater conspiracy was waiting for them...
"Wait, it seems like things aren't over yet..." Lei Yi said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the tomb's exit. Lei Yi's brow furrowed, his hand tightly gripping the jade ruyi. The feeling of unease grew stronger. He keenly sensed that this aura wasn't emanating from the tomb itself, but rather seeping in from the outside world, carrying a chilling and calculating air.
"What's wrong? Lei Yi." Dongfang Liuli noticed his abnormality and asked softly.
Lei Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, shook his head and said: "It's okay, let's leave here first."
Fairy Lingdie also put away her joyful expression, looked around cautiously, and said softly: "When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. We should be careful."
The three of them didn't dare to delay and quickly walked towards the exit of the ancient tomb. Along the way, that aura followed them like a shadow, like an invisible hand, secretly controlling everything.
When they finally emerged from the ancient tomb and saw the light of day again, Lei Yi's uneasiness grew even stronger. He felt an invisible pressure looming over them, as if a giant net had been quietly spread, waiting for them to fall into it.
"Liuli, do you still remember the news we got before? About the rumor that was about to sweep the entire martial arts world..." Lei Yi said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Dongfang Liuli's expression turned serious upon hearing this. She certainly remembered that just before they entered the ancient tomb, rumors began to spread throughout the martial arts world, saying that Lei Yi had obtained a legendary artifact and was about to unleash a bloody storm.
"You mean... all this was deliberately arranged by someone?" Dongfang Liuli asked in a low voice, a cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"I'm afraid so." Lei Yi nodded, a gleam in his eyes, "Someone wants to kill us by borrowing a knife, using this rumor to put us to death."
"Hmph! I want to see who is behind this!" Fairy Lingdie snorted coldly, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
Lei Yi took a deep breath, took Yu Ruyi into his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's leave here first, find a place to stay, and wait and see what happens."
The three of them said nothing more and quickly left the valley where the ancient tomb was located. They rushed all the way, not daring to stop for even a moment, because they knew that danger was approaching.
However, what they didn't know was that their whereabouts had already been exposed, and a bigger conspiracy was waiting for them...
