Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shadow of the Evil Sword

Jiang Hao sat at the entrance of the cave, staring at the thin curtain of light.

He was now using all his strength, and there was no way to break through the seemingly thin light curtain.

Even if he was able to break through, with the strength of his Gathering Yuan Realm, would he be able to swim safely to the surface in the wilderness?

The answer is definitely no, not to mention those blue-striped thunderfish, even those thousands of gold beetles, which give him a headache.

"Do you have to cultivate to the earth realm, or even the heaven realm, in this place before you can go out?"

Jiang Hao felt a little headache, there was a strange power in this place, and the Xunguang Bead couldn't send out a message, and he had no way to tell Chen Xiyue that he was still alive.

After making sure that nothing unexpected happened to the Sword Emperor Divine Stone, Jiang Hao began to cautiously walk towards the depths of the cave.

"Could this be a legendary ancient ruin?"

Jiang Hao touched the rock wall and found less obvious traces of excavation, proving that this is not a natural miracle.

Then, he remembered the legend that "the wasteland is surrounded by ancient ruins", and then used his Yuan Force to look into the depths of the cave, and felt even more unfathomable, so he believed in his heart that this was an ancient ruin.

"There...... There are stone carvings!"

Suddenly, Jiang Hao's eyes lit up, and he saw a vague stone carving on the stone wall not far away.

He walked over quickly, taking a closer look. However, after a while, he shook his head regretfully and sighed.

The stone carvings can see the traces of time on it, and the dampness in the cave is not clear at all.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao turned around, ready to continue deeper into the cave.

"Click!"

However, as soon as he took a step, he heard the sound of something being trampled on. Jiang Hao frowned, looked down, and the scene that caught his eyes made him awe-inspiring and his scalp numb.

It was a human skeleton, very well preserved. And what Jiang Hao stepped on just now was the arm of the white bone.

Originally, Jiang Hao was not afraid of dead corpses and white bones, but the posture of this white bones made him feel a little weird.

White Bone, with an arm stretched out towards the entrance of the cave, his head raised, seemed to maintain his previous movements, trying to escape from the cave.

This posture seemed to be like something extremely terrifying in the depths of a cave, which made him struggle to run to the entrance of the cave.

But, halfway through, around the stone carving, he suddenly died, as if he had been overtaken by something terrible, and before he knew it, he was dead.

"It seems that this cave is not simple!"

Jiang Hao's eyes crossed a trace of solemnity, although this white bone has become extremely fragile, it is not difficult to see that its bone was once as white as jade, which is a sign that it has transcended the Yuan Realm and reached the Earth Realm.

The powerhouses of the realm are all dying here, so why is he not vigilant as a Juyuan realm?

"Get stronger!"

Now he deeply feels the lack of his strength.

He wanted to become stronger, and even had the idea of cultivating to the realm in the Sword Emperor Divine Stone and then going out.

However, as soon as this idea appeared, it was dispelled.

You must know that in less than two months, he jumped from refining to Juyuan, what an astonishing speed this is, it is enough to shock the entire Ming Ze Kingdom.

However, if you want to break through from the Yuan Realm to the Ground Realm, it takes a long time to accumulate. This accumulation is not only reflected in the amount of Yuan Li, but also in the combat experience.

"It's too difficult to break through the realm in less than a month!"

Jiang Hao shook his head, he was very self-aware, even if he maintained his current cultivation speed, it would be good for him to break through to the Jieyuan at most.

"Go ahead, since they came out of the bottom of the cave, prove that there must be something in that place. Jiang Hao muttered to himself, emboldened himself, and continued to go deep into the cave.

"It's a big deal, hide directly in the Sword Emperor Divine Stone, cultivate to the realm and then come out to kill him personally. Jiang Hao said viciously, relentlessly, and strode towards the depths of the cave.

The cave, narrow and long, all the way down, Jiang Hao advanced forty or fifty meters, and suddenly smelled an unbearable rancid smell.

"The second stone carving!"

Jiang Hao frowned, as he expected, around the second stone carving, there were actually more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally, including white bones and rotting corpses.

Jiang Hao pulled out his cold iron sword and gently turned over a face-down carrion corpse, observing their injuries and expressions.

Sure enough, just as he thought, the facial expressions of these people were all frightened, and some even had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"The aura has been completely destroyed, the bones are as white as jade, and this group of people is all in the realm. ”

Jiang Hao's face changed slightly, these people seemed to have died suddenly in front of the stone carving, without the slightest defense.

"It seems that there is a problem with the stone carving, and it should be after going to the bottom of the cave and then passing through the stone carving, something very terrifying will happen, so that these people will die instantly. ”

Jiang Hao is so smart that he actually analyzed the truth of the matter.

"In any case, there must be some great opportunity at the bottom of the cave, otherwise these realm masters would not be so eager to rush to the bottom of the cave. Jiang Hao strengthened his belief and continued to walk towards the bottom of the cave.

As he went deeper and deeper, the rancid smell faded away, replaced by a thick smell of blood.

In front of the third stone carving, there were dead bodies lying densely on the ground, some of the blood on the ground had not yet dried up, and it exuded an unpleasant smell.

Jiang Hao frowned slightly, he could see that these people were weaker than the people there in the second stone carving before.

"I pretty much know what's going on. ”

Jiang Hao let out a long sigh of relief, with a confident look on his face.

Although he is only a monk of the Juyuan Realm, he has the Sword Emperor Divine Stone, if anything happens, he can hide in it, and he doesn't have to run to the entrance of the cave at all and suffer death!

Finally, the narrow road came to an end, and the smell of blood was several times stronger than just now, Jiang Hao frowned, gritted his teeth, and walked into the relatively open stone cave.

"Tsk. ”

In the open stone cave, Jiang Hao frowned, and disgust rose from his heart.

The scene in front of him was not an exaggeration to be called the Blood Sea Hell, it was actually somewhat similar to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in his previous life, hundreds of corpses fell to the ground, and the blood flowed into a stream.

"That's ...... A sword?"

In the faint blood mist, in the center of the stone cave, hundreds of corpses were like stars and moons, surrounding a sword in the center, as if they were sacrificing something.

"Magic Sword, or Excalibur?"

Jiang Hao hesitated a little, the sword emitted a blood-colored light in the blood mist, hovering in mid-air, looking extremely evil.

Suddenly, the sword seemed to feel something, trembled slightly, and emitted a crisp metallic trill, and turned into a blood-colored lightning bolt and slashed towards Jiang Hao!

"What?"

Jiang Hao was shocked, his thoughts moved, and he wanted to enter the Sword Emperor Divine Stone and avoid the killing of the magic sword.

However, that sword was actually faster than his divine thoughts, and almost instantly, it pierced through Jiang Hao's chest!

"Hmm. ”

Jiang Hao entered the Sword Emperor Divine Stone and fell heavily to the ground.

His body was like a knife cut, and it seemed that there were thousands of sword qi flowing in his limbs and hundreds of bones.

"What's going on?"

Holding back the severe pain, Jiang Hao touched his chest, but found that there was no wound.

He hurriedly looked inward, only to see a demonic blood-colored demon sword, hovering in his aura, constantly releasing sword qi, encroaching on his meridians and forcing his own Yuan Force away!

"That's just a sword shadow? What's going on, could it be the spirit of the Ancient Demon Sword, trying to encroach on my divine consciousness and occupy my body?"

Jiang Hao was furious, he finally escaped death, how could he give his body to a magic sword for nothing?

"Get out of here!"

He ran the "Sword Emperor Sutra", and used the only remaining Yuan Force in his body to do his best, trying to force that demonic blood-colored sword shadow out of his aura!
