As Tang Li spoke, Qi Lingxuan attacked them.
A powerful sword aura charged at them like a hot knife through butter.
âQiqi, Linlin, protect Yihan.â
After Tang Li finished speaking, her body swayed and she quickly waved her finger in the air. An invisible shield blocked the sword aura.
The sword aura and the shield collided, producing powerful sparks.
Qiqi and Linlin replied at the same time, âYes, Godmother.â
The two of them transformed into Kylins and used their huge bodies to protect Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan stood there, looking worried. âLi, can you deal with him now?â
Tang Li turned around and glanced at him. âDonât worry.â
Qi Lingxuan suddenly burst out laughing.
Tang Li looked at his smile and frowned.
She was wondering what kind of power he had obtained in the ancient tomb.
At this moment, a sword appeared in Qi Lingxuanâs hand. This sword was emitting a faint blue flame. It was a beautiful color, but seeing it in this ancient tomb gave people goosebumps.
......
âI see.â
Tang Liâs face was tense. âSo you have obtained the Heart of Earth Fire. Looks like Iâve underestimated you.â
After saying this, she took out the Fuxi Guqin and said to Qiqi and Linlin, âQiqi, Linlin, take Yihan and leave this place first.â
âNo.â Qi Yihan knew that the current Qi Lingxuan was not easy to deal with. That was why Tang Li asked Qiqi and Linlin to take him away. He would definitely not leave. âLi, give me your power. Iâll fight him.â
âYou canât fight him.â
After saying that, Tang Li waved her arm at him, and he, Qiqi, and Linlin disappeared.
Then, she started playing the Guqin.
The powerful airflow brought by the guqin instantly collided with the sword aura. In an instant, the entire space was filled with explosions and the ground started to tremble.
The powerful tremors continued to spread out, causing the nearby bugs and zombies to flee into the distance. However, they attracted the attention of the people who were looking for the main tomb.
The entrance of the main tomb was almost as wide as a football field. As soon as everyone walked over, they saw Tang Li and Qi Lingxuan fighting. Their eyes widened in shock.
âFourth Madam is actually here too!â
âDidnât Fourth Master say that he wonât come down the tomb? If Fourth Madam is here, he must be here too!â
âNow is not the time to talk about this. Why is Fourth Madam fighting with Qi Lingxuan but Fourth Master is not here?â
âEveryone, look. Thereâs a door opposite. Is that the main tomb?â
âDefinitely. Otherwise, Fourth Madam wouldnât be fighting with Qi Lingxuan.â
âArenât they the same family? Why are they fighting?â
âSame family? Qi Lingxuan is just an illegitimate son. After everyone entered the tomb, he disappeared. Donât you think itâs a little strange that he can still be here?â
âItâs more than strange. Look at their fighting, is that what normal people are capable of doing?â
âThey might not be humans.â
âI think so.â
âThen what should we do? Should we help Fourth Madam?â
âWhat do you mean? Do you think we can even approach them? They can make the earth shake. If we approach them, weâll die.â
âThatâs right. Fourth Madam must be stopping Qi Lingxuan from entering the main tomb. Why donât we go in first? When we find a powerful manual, we might be able to help Fourth Madam.â
âI agree.â
âI agree.â
The people who said they would help Tang Li were just making things up. Why would they help her? Their real goal was to find an excuse to enter the main tomb.
Everyone had been here for more than ten days. When they came in, there were hundreds of people, but now, there were only a few dozen people left. The people who stayed behind relied on their faith to survive in a tomb filled with bugs, traps, and zombies. To be able to find the main tomb at this time was simply a ray of hope.
As long as they found the main tomb and got the various good things inside and the elixir that everyone wanted, they could leave and get rich.
At this thought, everyone looked at each other with sparkling eyes.
However, after they walked for a while, a sword aura swept over.
Before the people in front could react, they were cut into pieces.
âAhâ¦â
The rest of the people looked at the bloody corpse and were dumbfounded. Their legs were so weak that they could not move.
âIf you want to live, leave this place immediately.â
Tang Liâs voice was like a wake-up call. After everyone shuddered, their bodies reacted faster than their brains. They turned around and fled away.
As they fled, Qi Lingxuanâs sword aura attacked them indiscriminately.
They were all blocked by Tang Li.
The two of them continued fighting, and the rumbling and shaking became even louder.
Tang Li did not expect the Heart of Earth Fire to be so powerful that it could directly turn this sword spirit from intermediate to the highest level.
This was the first time she had seen a high-level sword spirit. She had only heard her master mention it before, so she didnât know how to subdue it.
However, she recalled what her master had once said. âIf you can learn the sword forging technique of our ancestor, you can easily recast the highest-level sword spirit.â
In the past, Tang Li did not think it was necessary, but now she regretted it.
âTsk⦠Master, Master, even if I didnât want to learn, you shouldâve forced me to.â
Seeing that Qi Lingxuanâs attacks were getting stronger and stronger, Tang Li could not hold on anymore.
She thought for a moment and directed the attack to the door of the main tomb.
With a bang, a large hole was blasted open in the door of the main tomb and she flashed into it.
However, the moment she entered the main tomb, Tang Li was stunned.
It didnât look like a tomb but a magnificent palace. When she entered, she saw a particularly solemn and majestic hall. In the hall stood two rows of armored warriors. Although they did not move, they all carried a murderous aura.
Before Tang Li could look around the entire hall, Qi Lingxuan chased after her.
The moment Qi Lingxuan entered, he immediately started attacking Tang Li with a powerful sword aura.
Tang Li turned to look at Qi Lingxuan and pursed her lips into a cold smile.
âHow dare you use a sword aura in the Xuanyuan Kingâs hall.â
With that, she flew above the hall, beside the throne. She took out the copper bell and started shaking it.
âAll Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, listen up. This person has trespassed into the Xuanyuan Kingâs main hall. Kill him!â
The armored soldiers in the hall moved at the same time.
They surrounded Qi Lingxuan.
The fight instantly started.
Tang Li did not watch the battle. She turned around and ran to the side.
She knew that these soldiers could not stop Qi Lingxuan. At most, they could stall him for a while.
She wanted to go to the Xuanyuan Kingâs bedroom and tomb to see if there was anything there that could deal with this high-level sword spirit.
After Tang Li ran out of the hall, she saw that the floor railings were made of jade, the pillars were made of gold, and there were many jewels and agates inlaid on them.
There was not a single lamp in the entire palace, but it was abnormally bright.
After running for a while, Tang Li realized that there were various formations set up here.
She couldnât leave this place at all.
At that moment, a tall figure appeared in the corridor. Tang Li was shocked. âYihan, why are you here?â
The man stopped and stood there, looking at her with pursed lips and obvious displeasure in his eyes.
Tang Li quickly walked over and stood in front of him. She raised her head and said to him, âDidnât I tell you to hide? We canât defeat Qi Lingxuan, who is controlled by the sword spirit. What if you are accidentally injured by him?â
With that, she was about to grab his hand and take him away.
However, he tilted his body and dodged her hand. He looked at her sharply, just like when Tang Li first came to this book and saw him.
Tang Li frowned. Knowing that he was angry, she grabbed his hand and wrapped it with her hands.
The man looked at her with a deep gaze, but he did not retract his hand.
Tang Li said, âI know youâre worried about my safety. Didnât I tell you before that unless I want to die, no one can hurt me? Iâm sending you away because Iâm worried that your body wonât be able to withstand Qi Lingxuanâs sword aura. If you get hurt, my heart will ache.â
After saying that, she stared at him sincerely.
He looked into her eyes for a few seconds before finally saying, âLet go.â
Tang Li suddenly let go as if she had been scalded. At the same time, she took a few steps back and pointed at him. âYou, you, you⦠Youâre not Yihan!â
The two of them looked exactly the same and were even in the same clothes.
However, the moment he spoke, it felt different.
âWho are you?â
Tang Li said angrily, âSince itâs not Yihan, why didnât you tell me?â
The man looked at her unhappily.
Did she give him a chance to speak?
However, he was looking at his hand and feeling the lingering warmth that he hadnât felt in such a long time.
Most importantly, she could actually hold his hand.
Just as the man was surprised, a rumbling sound came from outside.
The man frowned unhappily, and a murderous aura that made Tang Liâs heart palpitate emanated from his body.
At this moment, Qi Lingxuan entered. His already tattered clothes were even more tattered, and his eyes were terrifyingly red.
When he saw the man standing next to Tang Li who looked like Qi Yihan, a one-meter-long sword appeared in his hand.
The sword aura immediately charged at the man.
âGo to hell.â
