Chapter 24: The Four Experts
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While the white-haired old woman remained fuming, the short old man’s expression suddenly changed, and he shouted,
“Something’s wrong, my baby smells blood! And it’s an extremely strong stench of blood!”
As he spoke, a giant centipede crawled out of the short old man’s arms.
It was two fingers thick, three feet long, and had a red line on its back.
It looked a little terrifying.
The red thread centipede was restlessly crawling around the old man’s body.
It seemed to desire flesh and blood, but it also seemed to be afraid of something, so it did not dare to leave its master.
That was why it was so restless.
“A strong stench of blood? What do you mean by that?”
The green-robed young master frowned and asked.
There was a lot weighing on their shoulders. There couldn’t be any mistakes!
The short old man comforted the red thread centipede and explained gloomily, “Something must have happened outside. Many have died.”
The white-haired old woman asked in confusion, “Are you saying that an enemy has broken in? The Crown Prince is in confinement. Could people already be looking for her?”
“No, it’s only been a while. They can’t have found this place. They might not even find out that she is missing.”
This secret chamber was extremely well-hidden and well-defended. The only drawback was that once the door was closed, it would lose contact with the outside world.
As the leader, the young master in green waved his hand, signaling for everyone to stop. He then said to them, “Don’t think too much about it, we’ll know once we go out and take a look. ”
With that, he turned around and left.
He was ready to open the door of the secret chamber and see who was so bold to break into the dark hall!
Although the outer layer of the underground palace might have already been broken through by the enemy, the four of them were not worried at all.
These four people were all Innate Realm Warriors!
Any one of them could wipe out the defenses of outer layer of the underground palace.
They were the core power of this underground palace!
…
However, before the young master in green could open the door, a loud noise came from the door of the secret room!
“BOOM!”
The huge force hit the door of the secret room hard.
It caused the entire secret chamber to shake like an earthquake.
This attack made the four of them look at each other, and their expressions became more serious.
The guy outside… Seemed a little different!
The first explosion was only the beginning.
Countless loud noises followed it.
The door of the secret room was bombarded continuously as the sound of explosions rang out!
A tremendous force kept hitting the door of the secret room, making the people in the secret room feel like the earth was shaking.
The short old man, the white-haired old woman, the muscular man, and the green-robed young master.
All of them were on high alert, ready to welcome the enemy who was about to break in.
Just in terms of strength, the enemy outside the door was enough to attract their attention.
Moreover, there was also a condensed form of evil Qi drifting in, making them feel as if there was a dagger on their backs!
…
Finally, the door of the secret room burst open with a series of loud sounds, turning into pieces of gravel that flew in all directions.
After that, the four innate lords saw a ferocious blood-colored boney claw land on the door frame!
The crimson claw was extremely huge, five times the size of an ordinary person’s palm.
Its sharp claws were like sharp sabers, and it made people tremble with fear!
As they neared, a skull with blood-red ghostly fire in its eye sockets peered in, and its cold and strange gaze swept across the four of them.
Anyone who was targeted by him would feel a bone-chilling coldness!
The enemy outside the secret chamber was not human!
“What the hell is this?”
The white-haired old woman’s expression changed slightly, and her eyes were filled with fear.
The skeleton’s body was similar to a human’s, but it was blood red.
However, its two arms were thick and huge, almost as big as its body.
It looked absolutely murderous!
“I’ve never seen such a variant before. It might be some kind of skeleton-type demon. How did it get into the underground palace?”
The short old man frowned and had a bad feeling.
“Why do you care so much? I’ll just dismantle it! Skeleton-type demons are the weakest. ”
The burly man ignored the others.
He clenched his fists, and his body glowed with a faint khaki light, giving off the gravity of immense power.
“Don’t be careless. Let’s attack together and destroy it!”
“Alright!”
The green-robed young master was quite cautious.
After the order was given, the four of them charged toward the skeleton demon.
…
The skeleton demon that had broken into the room was Su Mu.
He could sense that there were several powerful martial artists in the secret chamber that he had never met before.
Therefore, he activated all his buffs and attached more bones to his arm before he entered.
That was how he ended up in this current form.
This was Su Mu’s strongest form.
Tonight, he was going to fight to his heart’s content!
※※※※※※
A warrior’s cultivation began by refining their skin.
Skin, muscles, bones, organs, blood… Step by step, the body would be tempered!
After all the tempering was completed, the innate Qi hidden deep in the body could be stimulated, and the Qi could be released.
According to the purity and strength of the stellar energy, it was divided into two major realms, innate and heavenly.
The four people in the underground chamber were all innate realm warriors!
Among them, the green-robed young master was the strongest. He was a mid-stage innate martial artist.
The other three were all at the early innate stage.
Among the three of them, other than the burly man, the other two would probably never have the chance to break through in their lifetimes. They would always be stuck at the initial stage of the innate realm.
They probably sought refuge with the Third Prince because they wanted to obtain some natural treasures from him and fight for a slim chance of advancing.
…
Now.
Perhaps it was to show off and get more rewards from the master.
Or perhaps he was too reckless.
In short, the burly man was the first one to reach Su Mu, and his fist, which was glowing with a faint yellow light, smashed towards Su Mu’s claws.
Su Mu’s martial cultivation was still too weak, so he didn’t know what level these people were at.
However, he could feel a sense of danger from this burly man’s fist.
Since the opponent was strong, he had to take precautions.
Su Mu waved his huge bone claws and ruthlessly met the attack!
“BOOM!”
When the fist and the claw met, a loud explosion rang out, causing everyone’s ears to buzz.
If this was an ordinary person, just the aftershock of the battle would have shattered his internal organs!
After the collision, the burly man took three steps back and his expression turned ugly.
As for Su Mu, at the moment of their exchange, two nail-like bones extended from his feet.
They plunged into the ground and helped him stabilize his body.
…
This scene caused the other three’s expressions to change.
This burly man specialized in bruteforce.
Among the four of them, he had the strongest physical strength and the strongest body.
However, he had actually suffered a loss in a head-on clash!
What was the origin of this demon? How could he be so domineering?
Shouldn’t a skeleton-type demon beast fall apart after taking two steps?
This was not logical!
