Chapter 219: Known For Ferocity

Because that way, they would have one less competitor for the legacy left behind by the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu.
No.
More than one!
Su Jingxing was a third-grade martial artist. To stop him, at least two people were required.
‘This meant three fewer competitors.
Moreover, if he really wanted to be calculative, his nephew, Lu Chen, had become a vegetable because of Su Jingxing.
Lu Wuchang would be more than happy if he could create some trouble for Su Jingxing like this.
Unfortunately.
No one was a fool. Everyone who walked into the hall ignored him.
Soul Suppressing Stone.
As the name suggested, it was a strange stone that targeted a person at the soul level.
Under the Soul Suppression Stone, those who did not condense Martial Art True Intent could not resist the terrifying pressure at all.
Of course, if one’s soul power was as powerful as Su Jingxing’s level, they could also withstand it.
In fact, Su Jingxing could have walked into the hall without releasing the Sishui Horned Dragon.
However, that would be even more eye-catching than releasing the Sishui Horned Dragon.
The Sishui Horned Dragon was inherited from Liu Chenglong, Su Jingxing had obtained the Rising Dragon Saber King’s treasure.
This attracted attention.
But Su Jingxing wasn’t afraid.
Now, he was mo longer afraid of any third-grade martial artist. Even if he could not defeat a second-grade martial artist, he could still escape.
As for first-grade.
Liu Chenglong was only a first-grade martial artist when he was alive. A first-grade martial artist would not be interested in the things left behind by Liu Chenglong. At the very least, they would not provoke and make enemies for themselves for no reason.
Not everyone was a Diamond King.
With no children, no ties and no constraints.
Therefore, compared to relying on his soul power to withstand the pressure of the Soul Suppressing Stone, Su Jingxing was more willing to expose the fact that he had obtained the treasure from the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.
How could Gu Zhanlin, Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, and the others not understand Lu Wuchang’s wicked ideas?
However, no one was willing to risk their lives against Su Jingxing for this trivial matter.
The legacy of the Martial Sage was right before them.
Only someone who had nothing better to do would cause trouble for Su Jingxing.
Including the other three third-grade martial artists whose faces could not be seen under their black robes, after the screening of the central hall of the second level, only nine people had entered the third level.
Su Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin and Fan Qi, who was also a commander of the Prefecture Army, as well as three black-robed figures whose faces could not be seen.
‘When they were outside, they had been standing with Qi Conglai and Zhou Youbing’s teams.
It wasn’t clear if they were third-grade martial artists hired by the Qi and Zhou Families.
Or people from Ghost Ride?
In any case, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and Bu Qing had been wary of the three of them the whole time.
Su Jingxing also put some attention to take note of their auras.
The Martial Art True Intents manifested by these three people were all very common.
Ahuge hammer floated above one’s head, a saber floated behind another, and a red vine wrapped around the last.
The three of them walked at the back, with more than ten meters between each person.
‘The nine people walked through the hall and entered the third level.
Then, they stopped at the entrance of the third level’s hall.
“What’s going on?”
Lu Wuchang stared at the situation in the hall and his eyes widened slightly.
The third level’s central hall was completely different from that on the second level.
‘There was no spacious space inside the third level’s hall, only a passageway paved with jade.
‘A passageway that was three meters tall, two meters wide, with an unknown length.
At first glance, one saw a length of 90 meters, followed by a 90-degree turn. No one knew what was present after the turn.
“I think I’ve seen this passageway before.”
With that, Gu Zhanlin walked in.
“Hold on.”
Lu Wuchang subconsciously shouted, “There’s something wrong with this passageway…”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
‘The strange sound of air being torn apart sounded almost at the same time.
On the jade walls above Gu Zhanlin’s head, beneath his feet, and by his sides, crescent blades that were visible to the naked eye suddenly shot out and attacked Gu Zhanlin.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Gu Zhanlin’s true essence covered the surface of his body. His Martial Art True Intent, the gray leopard roared and pounced left and right. As it tore apart the blades, he moved his body and retreated.
Even so, Gu Zhanlin’s legs were trembling and his face was pale as he retreated out of the passageway.
“They injure the mind! These attacks are not only harmful to the body, but also to the mind!”
Gu Zhanlin commented in fear.
If he had been just moved a little slower, his soul would have been severely injured, and his Martial Art True Intent, the gray leopard, would have shattered and dissipated.
On the first level of the underground palace, the Bronze Guards were extremely hardy.
On the second level, the Soul Suppressing Stone targeted the soul.
On the third level, both the physical body and soul were targeted!
“It’s harmful to the body and mind. This seems to be…”
“Dragon Slaying Platform!”
Fan Qi, who had been silent all this while, said in a deep voice, “This passageway is the famous Dragon Slaying Platform. There are many similar existences. For thousands of years, these Dragon Slaying Platforms have been known for their ferocity. Countless top ranked martial artists have died in them.”
“Tss! That scary?” exclaimed Lu Wuchang.
“What do you think? If you don’t believe me, you can try going in there.” Gu Zhanlin regained his composure and snapped.
“Don’t be ungrateful, Leopard Gu. I reminded you just now, but you didn’t take me seriously and just walked in on your own.” Lu Wuchang rolled his eyes and retorted, “Now that you were startled and almost got injured, you’ve become agitated?”
“I can’t be bothered to argue with you.” Gu Zhanlin did not look at him.
This fellow did warn him, but it was too late.
“Tsk.” Lu Wuchang chuckled. “That’s because you can’t out-talk me.”
‘The passageway was silent.
‘There was a certain distance between all nine people as they looked at the incomparably bright passage and fell into hesitation.
‘The Dragon Slaying Platform.
Su Jingxing had seen it in Yue Dongliu’s The Martial Sage’s Manuscript after the deal he had made with Lu Wuchang last night.
After that, he searched online and learned what it was.
Simply put, this was a corridor with terrifying lethality, a platform that specialized in slaughtering living beings.
Not only humans, barbarians, and even the legendary dragon race could be killed!
‘This was because the Dragon Slaying Platform was almost immune to true energy of almost all attributes.
‘The walls and ground made of jade were incomparably solid. They were impervious to fire and lightning.
The visible energy blades released were extremely lethal.
One’s protective true essence could be easily torn apart, and Martial Art True Intent could also be forcefully shattered.
More importantly, this thing was also lethal to the mind and soul.
‘When the energy blades strike the body, they also inflict damage to the soul at the same time.
If the passageway was short, one could rush through it in one go.
However, the problem was that the lengths of the Dragon Slaying Platform varied, and they all contained several twists and turns.
‘They didn’t know how many 90-degree turns there were.
Three, four, five, six.
All were possible!
They could not charge forward in one go and the distance was unknown.
How many people could withstand the attacks and complete the journey?
“As expected of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage. The test to obtain the legacy is extraordinarily difficult.”
In the silence, Lu Wuchang broke the silence and sighed.
“It’s not impossible to solve the Dragon Slaying Platform.” Pu Mingyue said softly.
“Oh, what do you mean?” asked Lu Wuchang, turning to look at her.
Su Jingxing, Bu Qing, and the others also turned to look at Pu Mingyue.
“You don’t have to look at me.”
Pu Mingyue chuckled. Her gaze fell on a tall figure among the three black-robed figures. She blinked and said, “It will depend on Brother Zhao.. I think Great General Zhao has a way to overcome it, right?”
