Chapter 1202 - 1065: Nangong Qingyu (Part 2)
Moreover, even if he truly has the ability to pull those Longswords from the ground, he estimates doing so will trigger the final Killing Array set up by the Array Setter here.Once he touches that final Killing Array, the consequences would be unimaginable; he and Shi Potian, and even the entire Sword God's Tomb, could be instantly destroyed.
They extended their Divine Sense outward and quickly found that their Divine Sense exploration was ineffective here; they could only rely on their eyes to observe everything around.
"This place is eerie, it continually gives me an ominous premonition!"
Duan Gujin frowned slightly, glancing around, a growing unease in his heart.
Even though he hadn't detected any enemies around at that moment, the ominous feeling in his heart persisted.
"Let's advance here, you need to trust that I have specifically studied the Nine Shining Stars Array before!"
Just then, Shi Potian declared confidently.
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin trusted Shi Potian's words and proceeded to move together with him towards the left.
Duan Gujin had heard some rumors about the Nine Shining Stars Array, but he didn't know the specific method to navigate it.
Shi Potian led Duan Gujin forward, and after a while, they arrived at an open space.
"We need to be careful now, watch me!"
Shi Potian knew he was about to break through one of the checkpoints within the Nine Shining Stars Array.
He knew that within the Nine Shining Stars Array, there were nine checkpoints, each uniquely different.
Once they entered a checkpoint, they would have to accept its challenge.
"We must prepare for battle; I don't even know what this checkpoint entails!"
Shi Potian spoke with a solemn face.
At this moment, he was already armed with two swords, and various Treasures released on his body.
Duan Gujin also, like Shi Potian, prepared for all sorts of combat.
If ambushed by enemies, he would immediately counterattack.
Just as they wondered what kind of ambush they were about to face, suddenly, they sensed countless black Longswords abruptly appearing in the surrounding Void.
Those Longswords turned into streams of light, rapidly rushing towards their bodies.
"I'll block!"
Despite the extreme speed of those Longswords, upon seeing them appear, Duan Gujin and Shi Potian quickly dodged to both sides.
Whiz whiz whiz whiz!
Even though those Longswords emitted urgent sounds of breaking through the air as they swiftly stabbed towards them.
Duan Gujin and Shi Potian, relying on their exceptionally fast dodging speed, avoided the assault of those Longswords, which all stabbed into the ground.
Each Longsword that hit the ground made clang clang sounds.
Afterward, those Longswords remained firmly embedded in the ground.
Just as Duan Gujin and Shi Potian thought the first challenge was over, in mid-air, a sudden urgent sound of breaking through the air appeared once again.
Although the urgent sound of breaking through the air appeared extremely fast, it didn't pose a problem to Duan Gujin and Shi Potian.
Duan Gujin and Shi Potian equally easily dodged this attack, and after halting, they prepared for combat on the ground, readying to face a third Sword Array assault.
However, they waited for quite a while without sensing a third Sword Array assault.
Time gradually passed.
Quickly, Shi Potian informed Duan Gujin: "I think we've already passed this checkpoint!"
His eyes flashed, and immediately he gathered all the Longswords that had fallen to the ground.
He infused his Divine Sense into those Longswords, and after a while, he let Duan Gujin know: "The material of these Longswords is average, yet they bear Immortal Runes!"
"Then they can't be used, right?"
Duan Gujin realized with sudden clarity.
"Yes!"
Shi Potian waved his right hand and destroyed those Longswords on the ground.
Generally, Longswords bearing Immortal Runes are specially crafted, mostly usable only once.
A while ago, many Longswords were firmly stabbed into the ground, and the violent collision ruined the Immortal Runes on the swords, thus, the Longswords were destroyed.
"What a pity! Look!"
After a while, Duan Gujin remarked.
He saw a narrow crack suddenly appear in the pile of Longswords on the right.
He clearly noticed earlier, witnessing a heap of Longswords slowly shifting to both sides.
Therefore, he deduced that after they successfully passed the first checkpoint, the second checkpoint was starting.
"Let's go in!"
Shi Potian was full of joy on his face, immediately he and Duan Gujin passed through the narrow passage, continuing forward.
Upon entering, they soon found the surrounding temperature remarkably cold, raising goosebumps.
"Damn! It's so cold here!"
Duan Gujin exclaimed.
"Indeed, I think this checkpoint might relate to coldness!"
After advancing a bit, suddenly, they saw a white figure appearing ahead.
"Something's up ahead!"
Instinctively, they heightened their vigilance, furrowing their brows.
Various possibilities rushed through their minds, and they were guessing a possibility.
"What exactly is that white figure ahead?"
They didn't know what the checkpoint challenge was, they reckoned the next checkpoint was probably an unconventional test.
As they approached that figure, they saw clearly it was a young woman in white lying on the ground.
"Careful, it might be a trap!"
Shi Potian cautioned, beyond his previous imagination to encounter a young woman here.
"This place should be unlikely to have people! Yet now, a Human Clan woman appears here, something nobody would believe if told!"
"This might be an Illusion Technique!"
Duan Gujin and Shi Potian exchanged glances, understanding the meaning behind each other's words.
"I'll assist her, I want to see what this checkpoint is about!"
Duan Gujin quickly suggested to Shi Potian.
"Alright, but be extremely cautious!"
Shi Potian probed the woman's body with his Divine Sense but found no Dark Weapon on her.
Duan Gujin swiftly grasped the woman's arm, infusing his Divine Sense into her body.
Shortly, his Divine Sense traversed the woman's body.
"This is remarkably real!"
Duan Gujin's brow furrowed slightly, he promptly shared his doubts with Shi Potian.
Shi Potian also infused his Divine Sense into the woman's body, thoroughly examining, leaving no detail unchecked.
Nonetheless, he distinctly sensed the woman was genuinely Human Clan.
However, the woman employed the Turtle Breath Method, placing her body in a state akin to hibernation.
"How is this possible?"
Shi Potian's eyes flashed, he immediately operated his Cultivation Technique, forcibly breaking the Turtle Breath Method on her.
Soon, the woman awoke from her slumber.
Seeing two strangers suddenly by her side, she screamed.
"Ah, who are you?"
She initially tried to push Shi Potian away, but he tightened his grip on her arm.
"You don't need to know who I am, but I ask who you are and why you're here?"
Shi Potian instantly sealed the acupoints on her body, preventing her from wielding Primordial Power.
"Ah! I feel so cold!"
The woman exclaimed.
Duan Gujin furrowed his brows and swiftly infused some Primordial Power into her.
"Reveal why you are here!"
Shi Potian spoke solemnly.
"I'm a disciple of the Nangong Family from the Divine World, my name is Nangong Qingyu! I was adventuring here with my companions! We entered the Array here, but my companions all died tragically! I managed to dodge quickly, so I'm unharmed! However, upon arriving here, I inexplicably passed out! I suspect I might have taken the wrong medication!"
Nangong Qingyu responded.
"Let me inspect your memory. If you refuse, I'll knock you out and leave you unconscious here!"
Shi Potian stated coldly.
"Alright, but I only permit you to inspect the incidents after I came here!"
Nangong Qingyu spoke with a serious expression.
