Chapter 22 Ambush

Chapter 22 Ambush

Chapter 22 Ambush
After searching the entire ancient tomb, judging from the sunlight shining through the large hole at the top of the center of the square, it should be dawn outside.

Lin Shan originally planned to use a grappling hook to climb up directly from the big hole opened by Lei Zhenzi, but he considered that he still had to carry such a large bag of antiques.

If he fell down while climbing, he wouldn't care what happened to him, but he would be sad if the antiques were broken.

It would be safer to go out through the tunnel in a proper way.

……

On the way back, he passed by the place where the arrow rain mechanism was and carefully tried it again. As expected, the designer of this ancient tomb was really a piece of shit!

Each time you pass through, a fixed number of rounds of arrow rain will be released, and after a period of time after you pass, the number of arrow rain will be reset.

He took full advantage of the tomb robbers' illusion that he had run out of arrows.

"How many arrows are stored behind this tomb passage?"

While cursing the designer of the ancient tomb who had been dead for who knows how many hundreds of years, Lin Shan once again lamented that the five tomb robbers were really cunning.

He was able to escape safely carrying the Buddha statue and the golden bell despite the pursuit of the Corpse King and the obstruction of the ancient tomb's mechanisms. He is truly an amazing person.

"It's a pity that such a person is Wu's younger brother. When I make a lot of money from selling antiques, I will recruit these five brothers to help me with theft and archaeology."

Lin Shan has always been very thick-skinned. He thinks that such talents should be led by better leaders so that more cultural relics can be unearthed and contribute to the study of ancient history, local customs and humanities.

……

The light ahead was getting brighter and brighter. After walking through the bumpy tunnel, Lin Shan, carrying a heavy bag, finally walked out of the ancient tomb.

Suddenly back into the sunlight, Lin Shan blocked the light with his hands in discomfort. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure appear beside a bush in front of him not far from the tunnel.

"Oh oh oh!"

That singing and dancing figure!

……

"Brother Ji! You're still alive! It's really great that you're okay."

"Ooooh! Ooooh!"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

After experiencing "living and dying together" last night, Lin Shan had a deep affection for Brother Ji. He couldn't help but put down his burden and went forward to hug Brother Ji.

But Brother Ji was acting very abnormally, and kept barking at the bushes next to him.

"Ok?"

Lin Shan glanced at the bushes and found that something seemed to be wrong.

Lin Shan stopped and stared at that place for a long time, then smiled brightly.

"Which friend played such a joke on me? Show yourself!"

As he said this, his body tensed up and his right hand secretly grasped the hilt of the knife.

"Wow~"

A man in black stood up from the bushes. He probably realized that he had been discovered and that he could not launch a sneak attack if he hid, so he simply walked out openly.

"Xin Ershiyi, I didn't expect you to be so cautious at such a young age. You even left a chicken for yourself to stand guard at the entrance of the cave."

After taking off the mask, an ugly face with a scar across it appeared in front of Lin Shan.

"Scarface!"

Lin Shan couldn't help but shout out loudly. He really didn't expect that after he escaped from the ancient tomb with a narrow escape of death, Scarface was actually waiting for him at the entrance of the cave!
If Brother Ji hadn't warned him, he would have passed by the bushes humming a song while carrying the antique on his back, without knowing it, and would have been caught off guard.
Lin Shan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

I almost had a brush with death!

Turning around to look around, Brother Ji had already run away. Lin Shan secretly felt lucky that he was lucky, and at the same time thanked Brother Ji for saving his life again.

He drew out the ring-handled sword and slowly pointed it at the scar.

……

At this time, Scarface also pulled out a steel knife. This knife was of course bought from Nightingale for 20 contribution points after the robbery. After all, he didn't trust the knives bought on the market, so he preferred to use them within the organization.

But he was also very solemn now, after all, he and Lin Shan were both in the Qi Exchange Realm. The original plan was very good, Lin Shan died in the tomb and everything was over, but he didn't expect that he would come out after just one night.

Scarface even suspected that the guy had stayed in the tunnel all night and never went in.

But when he saw Lin Shan coming out with a big bulging bag on his back, he had to admit that the boy was very brave and thoughtful. He even left a pet at the entrance of the cave as a warning as a backup.

He is indeed his greatest enemy in life!

……

For a moment, the atmosphere outside the cave was tense. Both sides remained silent and confronted each other with knives.

A quarter of an hour later, a figure moved first, rushing over wielding a steel knife.

Lin Shan looked at Scarface who was rushing towards him, but he was not as nervous as before.

Having experienced so many storms and even seen the battle between immortal cultivators last night, he felt that he and Scarface were no longer on the same level. Since Scarface had failed to sneak attack him, then in a one-on-one battle, and since they were at the same level, he had nothing to fear!
"kill!"

The two men's swords collided with each other, chopping, slashing, stabbing, poking, picking and chopping. Every move was full of wildness and violence.

Because he was not as nervous as before, Lin Shan relied on his instinct from years of sword practice to integrate the muscle memory of "Qingfeng Sword Technique" into every move. He originally chose the ring-handled sword because it is a long sword used for chopping on horseback. Except for the single-edged and longer blade, it is basically the same as a sword, and he can perform sword techniques with ease.

Scarface is also a veteran and has been a killer for many years. He has also had many failed assassinations that turned into head-on combat.

The scar on his face was carved by the enemy during a failed assassination attempt, but he then cut the man's face into a human stick.

After the last silver robbery mission in the valley, he spent 200 contribution points to exchange for the inner martial arts he had long dreamed of at the Nightingale branch.

Three styles of domineering sword!

Now he has mastered the swordsmanship, and is no longer a mediocre person. If Lin Shan judges his strength based on the previous fight in the valley, he will definitely lose miserably.

……

At this time, Lin Shan had fought with Scarface for dozens of rounds and had already discovered that something was wrong. Scarface seemed to be attacking, but in fact he had some strength left. It was as if he had been accumulating strength, putting more and more pressure on him. The next blow would definitely be earth-shattering.

Seeing Lin Shan's expression gradually becoming suspicious, a ferocious arc appeared at the corner of Scarface's mouth.

"If you are still the same person you were a few days ago and have not made any progress, then prepare to die!"

"Three moves of the Tyrant Sword, the sky collapses!"

Scarface, who had accumulated strength to the maximum, had a huge momentum rising, as agile as a dragon, with his meridians surging and his internal energy boiling. He poured all his energy into this knife and suddenly struck down.

"cut!"

"Fuck me!"

Lin Shan couldn't help cursing in his heart, "If you have a special trick, just use it. Why are you yelling so loudly?" His eardrums were numb and painful.

But it should be said that this kind of synchronized coordination of words and actions can indeed cause great psychological pressure on the opponent. Lin Shan knew that he could not take this attack, but the problem was that Scarface had planned it for a long time, and he could not dodge it, so he had to take it.

"clang!"

The crisp sound of the collision echoed in the mountains, and Lin Shan was directly pushed back several steps. He felt his right wrist stiff and numb, and his internal organs were in a cramped pain. A mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and he swallowed it forcefully.

The Changchun Qi in his body circulated slightly, and the pain in his meridians was suppressed, and his limbs felt cool. Lin Shan knew that this was the healing effect of the Xiantian Qi.

He lifted up the ring-handled sword and found a chip on the blade.

After the attack, Scarface's momentum did not decrease but increased, and his Qi circulated madly. He once again followed the strange meridian route and rushed forward with his sword.

"The second move, Earthshattering!"

It was this feeling again, there was no way to avoid it, Lin Shan was so sad that he vomited blood.

He had to summon up his true energy to fight Scarface again.

"Canglanglang!"

This time, Lin Shan was directly lifted up and fell three meters away along a parabola.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lin Shan, who was trying to get up in a hurry while enduring the severe pain, finally couldn't hold back and started coughing up blood. He could feel that his meridians were slightly damaged, and the Changchun Qi was running wildly to recover from his injuries.

Seeing Scarface running towards him with a knife, he didn't give himself a chance to breathe.

He doesn't even have the problem of being talkative like the villains in novels, and all his momentum is concentrated on one point.

"Third Form"

"Go to hell! Strengthen me!"

Lin Shan finally couldn't hold it anymore, and directly opened the reinforcement panel of the ring-handled sword in his hand, which had two large gaps and was on the verge of being scrapped. He gritted his teeth and chose the

"strengthen!"

A burst of extreme white light appeared between the two of them. From the handle of the ring-headed sword in their hands, a circle of blue electric light spread from bottom to top, passing through the handle, hand guard, root, back, blade, and tip.
Wherever the blue light passed, the wood texture of the handle became more matte, the thick part of the back of the knife became condensed and smaller, grooves appeared on the wide part of the blade, the broken part of the blade recovered as before, and the sharp tip of the blade emitted a cold light.

A brand new sword appeared out of nowhere!

【Kunlun Knife】

Quality: Magical weapon

Introduction: The knife is three feet long, made of fine steel, forged by forging master Ou Yezi. It can cut gold and jade, and shave iron like mud.

Enhancement required: 4 points

……

Lin Shan simply ignored the enhanced transparent panel and didn't care what it said. He just swung his sword and charged forward.

At this moment, Scarface was half a step away from him, and the blade in his hand was already in front of him.

"Third move, covering the sea!"

"Ding!"

The extremely clear and crisp sound of a sword was like the gift of fairy dew from the nine heavens dripping into the mortal world. It echoed in the mountains for a long time, and the trees danced gracefully and the grass rustled.

The geese passing by in the sky couldn't help but join in the long cry!
Scarface looked at the broken knife in his hand with a blank expression.

This scene seems familiar!
