Chapter 942: Chapter 940: Ruins Guardian
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan was slightly taken aback.
After all, he had never met someone like Li Du before.
His nose could be that sensitive.
Even though Wang Zhan did not believe what he said, he didn’t continue to say much.
After all, he and Li Du were now teammates, and since they were already inside the ruins, they needed to rely on each other. If there was some friction between them, it wouldn’t be of much benefit to either of them.
As long as there is a mutual understanding and a common goal, that’s enough.
In an instant, the two of them had entered the inside of the ruins.
Wang Zhan glanced at the Great Hall of the ruins, then opened his mouth again: "There seems to be something strange in here."
Although the two had just entered the Great Hall, Wang Zhan felt a strong sense of oppression.
That feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
Li Du, standing by, folded his arms and said faintly, "Actually, when I first came here, my thoughts were similar to yours, I could also sense there was something unusual here."
"The fact that you said this now shows that my thoughts weren’t just my own imagination, obviously, we both had the same thoughts."
Wang Zhan just nodded.
In his mind, the Sword Spirit’s voice immediately came forth.
"There should be a relic guardian here, so you should be careful, after all, that guy is quite tricky."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan subconsciously asked, "Relic guardian?"
Before the Sword Spirit could speak, Li Du beside him had already looked at Wang Zhan, full of curiosity, asking, "You actually know about relic guardians? Seems like you know quite a lot."
"I waited outside for so long just to find a knowledgeable teammate so that we could quickly find what we’re looking for in the ruins, and now it seems like meeting you was the right path."
Wang Zhan just nodded lightly.
Actually, he didn’t really know what a relic guardian was. The reason the idea suddenly popped into his mind was entirely because of the reminder from the Sword Spirit in his mind.
That’s all.
Li Du, standing next to him, spoke again: "When I first came here, I had encountered those relic guardians. These relic guardians have some spiritual wisdom and are proficient in formation techniques, so entering here is somewhat troublesome. However, I don’t know how to trigger the switches of these relic guardians since they don’t appear immediately, but rather under certain specific conditions."
Wang Zhan just nodded lightly.
He wasn’t very familiar with these matters and didn’t even know what a relic guardian was.
In an instant, the two continued to walk deeper into the Great Hall.
Soon, they entered the area within the Great Hall.
However, just as they reached the area of the alchemy workshop, they heard sounds of battle coming from a distance.
The sounds were extremely intense, showing the combatants’ strong power.
Wang Zhan and Li Du quickly advanced, checking the situation.
Li Du, following closely behind Wang Zhan, wore a cold expression.
Li Du slowly raised his hand, and a black scepter appeared in his hand.
As the black scepter appeared, his strength seemed to increase steadily.
Wang Zhan, standing nearby, squinted slightly and looked at Li Du. After glancing at the black scepter in Li Du’s hand, he curiously asked, "Your artifact is interesting, what is it?"
"Black Ice Scepter."
Li Du and the Sword Spirit in Wang Zhan’s mind spoke almost simultaneously.
Wang Zhan didn’t continue to pay much attention to Li Du, as Li Du constantly watched the direction of the distant battle.
Wang Zhan was conversing with the Sword Spirit, "What is this Black Ice Scepter?"
Although he didn’t know what the Black Ice Scepter truly was, he could feel a sense of intimidation from it, indicating that it was extraordinary.
In his mind, Li Du slowly spoke, "The Black Ice Scepter is one of the divine weapons comparable to the Great Void Divine Sword, and I can sense there’s a Soul Body presence on the Black Ice Scepter as well, but that Soul Body is mainly to enhance the Black Ice Scepter’s power; it won’t help you solve problems or aid you in battle like me."
Wang Zhan nodded.
But just with that, it was apparent the Black Ice Scepter was something terrifying.
Li Du then quickly approached the side of the battle zone.
Upon seeing the man standing within the battle zone, his expression immediately turned much uglier.
"Xie Fengyun?"
Upon hearing the voice, Wang Zhan stopped talking with the Sword Spirit.
After all, there are too many strange things in the ruins, so he has to focus all his attention on them.
Meanwhile, Li Du slightly squinted his eyes at the man in front of him for a while, then frowned and said, "Why are you here too?"
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Zhan’s gaze also fell on the man in front of him.
At this moment, several men were fighting against a huge Stone Man.
It was clear that the Stone Man’s power was terrifying, able to unleash waves of intimidation with every move.
But although Xie Fengyun glanced at Li Du, he did not respond to Li Du’s words.
Li Du then slowly said, "Could it be that he’s entangled by the ruins’ guardian?"
Evidently, the Stone Man was acting of his own accord.
Wang Zhan walked over to Li Du’s side, glanced in Xie Fengyun’s direction, and asked, "Do you know who that person is?"
"Of course."
Li Du crossed his arms and said indifferently, "He is Xie Fengyun, the master of Wind Cloud Hall, and he has long entered the ranks of Star River level experts. His power is terrifying, and even with my Black Ice Scepter, it’s hard to match him."
"But I never thought he’d be stopped by the Stone Man, the guardian of the ruins. It’s really ridiculous."
Wang Zhan squinted at the Stone Man. Although he hadn’t fought the Stone Man, he could sense its terrifying power.
On the side, Li Du continued speaking to himself, "I told you a long time ago not to enter the ruins lightly, but you ignored my advice for your own selfish desires and even delved deep into the ruins. Hilarious, isn’t it?"
"Look at you now, encountering the Stone Man. I doubt you all can escape whole."
Li Du’s face was full of schadenfreude.
After all, everyone who enters the ruins is here for the Divine Heart.
But there’s only one Divine Heart, which also requires acknowledgment by it, meaning they are competitors, so having one less person is naturally beneficial to them.
However, Xie Fengyun turned back, glanced at Li Du, and then coldly scolded, "Damn bastard, you dare make snide remarks here? Be careful, I might just kill you first!"
"Heh..."
Li Du crossed his arms and laughed instantly.
"Don’t joke with me, with your means, how could you hurt me?"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the battle circle.
Xie Fengyun, who had been fighting the Stone Man, quickly retreated from the battle.
Immediately afterward, his gaze darted, and he quickly stepped over to Wang Zhan and Li Du’s side.
The people who were with him couldn’t dodge in time and were all killed by the Stone Man.
But even so, a sneer still appeared on the corner of Xie Fengyun’s mouth.
He glanced at Wang Zhan and Li Du, then said coldly, "Want to stay out of this? I won’t give you the chance!"
Indeed, this guy is extremely despicable.
Obviously, he wanted to drag Wang Zhan and Li Du to his side, forcing them to fight the Stone Man as well. This way, even if he’s not a match for the Stone Man, neither would Wang Zhan, and they would all end up in the same difficult situation.
But Wang Zhan had already seen through his intentions, and immediately Wang Zhan soared into the sky, quickly distancing himself from the Stone Man.
Next to him, Li Du also kept retreating, soon standing right in front of Wang Zhan.
Looking icily at Xie Fengyun, he frowned and said, "I’ve heard of your despicable ways, and you’ve indeed turned Wind Cloud Hall into a mess. It seems it’s really true!"
"Someone like you deserves to be beaten to death!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Fengyun clenched his fists and rapidly charged towards Li Du.
"Stop spewing useless nonsense with me!"
"Though I’m restrained by the Stone Man, I won’t make it easy for you!"
The next second, Xie Fengyun appeared in front of them once more.
Just as Wang Zhan and Li Du were caught off guard, a massive black shadow fell from above, landing right in front of them.
Luckily, they dodged in time; otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived unscathed.
Yet even so, Wang Zhan and Li Du were still hit to some extent.
At the same time, the voice of the Sword Spirit echoed in Wang Zhan’s mind. The Sword Spirit slowly spoke, "Be extremely cautious; this opponent is far more troublesome than we anticipated. Moreover, I can sense that the strength of the ruin’s guardian is on par with you. You must handle this properly!"
Wang Zhan nodded heavily.
"Now the Stone Man has targeted you both, enjoy all you want."
