Chapter 237: The Return of the Swords, Entering the Mithril Vault

Chapter 237: The Return of the Swords, Entering the Mithril Vault

"bang bang bang"

With Lu Ming's full strength, palm shadows appeared in the sky, and each sound represented the death of a mechanical beast.

Even if these mechanical beasts dodged, it would be useless as they could not escape Lu Ming's pursuit.

In less than two minutes, hundreds of mechanical beasts were destroyed, and Lu Ming only paid less than 10% of his ghost power.

Seeing that all the mechanical beasts entrusted with important tasks were scrapped, Tang Long could only continue to command the mechanical guards to besiege Lu Ming.

But this time, Tang Long changed his strategy.

He did not let all the guards attack at once, but instead divided them into teams of ten to attack Lu Ming.

This can limit Lu Ming's killing speed and consume the opponent's strength to the greatest extent.

"I hope we can kill this human before all the guards die!"

Lu Ming quickly understood Tang Long's intention and frowned slightly.

“It’s quite troublesome!”

He looked around and saw the dense crowd of mechanical guards surrounding him. Lu Ming decided not to delay any longer and end the battle as soon as possible.

He tapped his feet lightly and his body quickly rose into the air.

He slowly raised his hands, and the surging sword intent burst out like a tide.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Zong"

In an instant, the sword intent spread rapidly, covering the entire battlefield.

"what is this?"

Surrounded by the surging sword energy, Tang Long was suddenly shocked.

This was a kind of power he had never felt before. The sharp and powerful aura of the sword made him feel uneasy.

As Lu Ming released his sword intent, the swords on the battlefield reacted at the same time.

"Clang"

Countless swords vibrated.

At first it was just a slight vibration, but as Lu Ming continued to release his sword intent, the vibration became more and more obvious, and the movement became louder and louder.

"whoosh"

A huge sword flew into the air.

As the first giant sword flew, more and more swords flew into the sky.

First came the swords of the dead guards, and then came the swords of the living guards.

Tang Long looked at the swords flying high into the sky and felt that something was wrong.

He shouted angrily: "We must keep our weapons."

The agency guards held their swords tightly with both hands, trying to suppress them.

But these swords were like sows waiting to be slaughtered and could not be suppressed at all.

Finally, all the swords flew out of their hands and flew into the air.

Twenty thousand swords were suspended in the air, creating an extremely spectacular scene.

Lu Ming looked down and saw the guard standing there at a loss, with a wicked smile on his face.

"I will send you to the west with one move."

"fall!"

As Lu Ming's hands suddenly fell, swords and knives in the sky suddenly fell.

These swords fell to the ground like meteors, bringing with them a breath of destruction.

"Boom..."

Violent explosions continued to sound, and the entire battlefield seemed to be baptized by artillery fire, with roars everywhere.

Tang Long stood there motionless as if he was under a spell in the deafening roar.

He never expected that Lu Ming would launch such a catastrophic attack. In the devastating attack, the 20,000 mechanical guards were completely blown to pieces.

When everything stopped, Lu Ming slowly fell from the air and landed in front of Tang Long.

In the attack just now, he deliberately showed mercy to Tang Long's men, otherwise the other party would have been turned into pieces along with the mechanical guards.

"Tang Long, do you ever regret attacking me?"

"Regret? No!"

"I only regret that I am not strong enough to destroy you, a human being, and to protect the empire's treasure house!"

Lu Ming looked at him in surprise. Before in the maze, the other party surrendered to him in order to save his life, but he didn't expect that he would become so tough now.

"I didn't expect you to be such a loyal person at heart!"

"It's a pity that you and I are enemies. I can't let you go."

As he spoke, Lu Ming stretched out his palm and slapped Tang Long.

"Bone-dissolving Palm"

The eerie and strange palm force penetrated into Tang Long's entire skeleton.

The next moment, a breeze blew, and Tang Long's entire skeleton was weathered away.

Lu Ming looked around the battlefield, made sure it was safe, and immediately sat cross-legged in meditation. He wanted to speed up the recovery of his ghost power.

Although the effect of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin just now was powerful, it also consumed a lot of energy, consuming 30% of the power of the ghosts.

Now he only has less than 30% of his ghost power left, which makes Lu Ming feel insecure.

In the dilapidated space, Ale listened carefully to the sounds of fighting at the entrance.

After he and Situ Mingzhu evacuated from the golden passage, they did not go far but waited at the entrance.

The two are still worried about Lu Ming!

"Mingzhu, listen, the battle seems to be over!"

Situ Mingzhu pricked up her ears and listened for a while, then nodded vigorously: "There is no movement!"

Ah Le was overjoyed: "Let's go find Lu Ming."

Just as Ah Le was about to rush in, he was grabbed by Situ Mingzhu.

"Wait, let's wait for Lu Ming here."

"If Lu Ming is okay, he will definitely come out to find us."

Ah Le frowned slightly: "Okay, then we'll wait here."

In fact, A Le knew what Situ Mingzhu meant. The battle was over, but neither of them knew which side had won.

Although they were very confident in Lu Ming's strength, when they thought of the countless densely packed guards, they were not sure that Lu Ming would win.

The two looked at each other in silence, waiting at the entrance.

three minutes

five minutes

ten minutes

.......

Half an hour passed quickly, and as time went by, the faces of the two men became more and more ugly.

Lu Ming hadn't shown up for a long time, which was not a good sign, and made the two of them feel increasingly depressed.

Ah Le stood up suddenly: "I can't wait any longer, I want to go in and take a look!"

Situ Mingzhu stood up with a serious expression: "Let's go together!"

In fact, she was just as worried about Lu Ming's safety as A Le, but compared to A Le, she was more rational, which was why she stopped A Le before.

Now half an hour has passed and Lu Ming has not shown up yet, and she is also unable to sit still.

The two looked at each other and quickly rushed into the passage.

When they came out of the golden passage, they were stunned by the scene before them.

The broken limbs and arms of the mechanical guards were everywhere, and countless broken swords were randomly stuck on the ground.

The battlefield used to be a flat square, but now it is full of large pits of more than ten meters in diameter, giving the two a feeling of a completely different world.

There was a flash of horror in the eyes of the two men. They couldn't imagine what kind of attack could cause such a change.

Although they were shocked, the two did not forget their purpose. They came to find Lu Ming.

The two looked around and saw endless corpses, but no sign of Lu Ming.

This made the two of them panic.

"Lu Ming!"

"Lu Ming, where are you?"

Ah Le called out loudly, and if you listened carefully you could hear a slight tremor in his voice.

"Lu Ming!" Situ Mingzhu also called out loudly.

The two kept calling out loudly, hoping to get a response from Lu Ming.

But the result disappointed them. Lu Ming did not reply, which made them even more anxious.

They kept running on the battlefield, calling Lu Ming's name all the time, hoping to hear Lu Ming's voice.

As time passed, sadness and despair became evident in their voices.

At this moment, Lu Ming's voice rang in their ears like the sound of nature.

"I'm here!"

Ah Le shuddered and looked at Situ Mingzhu beside him: "Mingzhu, did you hear...?"

Without waiting for A Le to finish speaking, Situ Mingzhu ran towards the nine o'clock direction.

Seeing Situ Mingzhu's actions, Ah Le's eyes lit up.

"Wait for me!"

When the two saw Lu Ming, their faces were full of smiles.

Ah Le hit Lu Ming on the chest with a hammer: "Lu Ming, what were you doing just now?"

"The battle just now consumed a lot of my energy. I'm recovering now."

Situ Mingzhu glared at him with some annoyance: "Even if you want to recover, you have to inform us first!"

When Lu Ming looked at the two people's expressions, he knew how worried they were about him, and he felt warm in his heart.

"I'm sorry, I won't do that again next time."

.......

Two hours later, the three set off to search for the Mithril Treasure.

Behind this huge square, the three found a passage.

After walking for a few minutes, they encountered a huge stone door again.

[Mithril Treasure House]

Seeing these four words, the three of them felt neither sad nor happy, even Ah Le, who was keen on money, remained emotionally stable.

Having had previous experiences, he was skeptical about this so-called mithril treasure trove.

When Lu Ming opened the stone door, dazzling golden light burst out, turning the faces of the three people golden.

Several mountains of gold were piled up randomly, and pearls as big as fists were scattered all over the ground, and this was just the treasure at the door.

A Le was excited at first, but then he calmed down and looked at Lu Ming.

"Are these true?"

After seeing Lu Ming nod, A Le's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He jumped up with a running start and dived into the mountain of gold.

"I found the mithril treasure!"

He rolled around wantonly on the mountain of gold.

Lu Ming looked around and found that there was no danger, so he ignored A Le's madness and walked into the treasure house.

Seeing this, Situ Mingzhu followed.

After walking through several gold mountains, the treasure in front of you changed and became the mithril that everyone wanted.

Looking at the piles of mithril, Lu Ming's mood fluctuated only slightly. It was within his expectations to find a large amount of mithril in the treasury.

The place where the mithril is stored occupies a full kilometer, which shows how much mithril is contained there.

When they arrived at the next area and saw the things displayed, Lu Ming and Situ Mingzhu's eyes lit up.

Placed in front of them were pieces of pure white jade-like crystals. Lu Ming had seen this kind of crystals before.

"Life force crystal!"

Lu Ming didn't expect to see life force crystals in the imperial treasury, and so many of them!

Everywhere you look, you see boxes and boxes filled with life force crystals. Just a rough estimate shows that there are hundreds of thousands of boxes here!

Situ Mingzhu walked forward and exclaimed as she looked at the box full of life force crystals.

"As expected of a legendary treasure, the Life Force Crystals are stored in hundreds of thousands of boxes!"

Lu Ming looked at the box, which was clearly marked.

"The realm of Juren, the realm of Jinshi, the realm of Hanlin... the realm of great scholar"

"Half-saint realm?"

Lu Ming looked through the boxes one by one until he saw one of them was marked with the Semi-Saint Realm, which surprised him greatly.

Because life force masters have to consume their life force to create life force crystals, their realm improvement is usually very slow, and they may even stagnate at a certain stage and stop making any further progress.

Therefore, life masters in the semi-saint realm are extremely rare.

"A life force crystal of the semi-saint realm?"

Situ Mingzhu was also attracted and looked at the mark on the box, her interest grew.

When the box was opened, the life force crystals inside were not as many as in the other boxes. It was not even full, only a little more than half a box.

The two were not too surprised by this. After all, there were too few life force masters in the semi-saint realm, and having half a box of life force crystals was already very good.

Lu Ming looked at these crystals and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"These life force crystals have been stored for ten thousand years. They won't expire, right?"

This thought only flashed through his mind. Since the Empire can store life force crystals, it means that this thing will not become ineffective.

The two continued to move forward, and when they saw what was behind them, their expressions were greatly shocked.

"Dragon Wood"

"Ethereal Grass"

"Sun Crystal"

"Demon Beast Corpse"

Looking at these things, excitement flashed in their eyes.

These materials are all needed to make the Fortune Teller’s Scepter!

Lu Ming came to a corpse and stroked it gently. He seemed to be able to sense the tremendous pressure carried by the corpse.

"This is definitely the skeleton of a high-level demon beast."

Suddenly he found that there seemed to be some words engraved under the bones, and he immediately moved the bones away.

[Six Thousand Years Old Tianteng Snake Skeleton]

"It's actually the skeleton of a 600,000-year-old monster!"

Lu Ming didn't expect that this corpse was actually the corpse of a 600,000-year-old monster.

Judging from the growth rate of monsters, once they grow to 100,000 years old, they will have the strength of a great scholar, and a monster that is 600,000 years old is definitely a semi-saint level existence!

Lu Ming looked at the corpse of the monster in front of him, and a hot light burst out of his eyes.

With these materials, he can not only make a fortune teller's scepter, but also make the best fortune teller's scepter.

The Heavenly Grade Fortune Teller's Scepter can increase the vitality by 100%, which means that any fortune teller who possesses the Heavenly Grade Scepter will have double the vitality!

Even though Lu Ming was very happy because he had a lot of life force sealed by the Heavenly Official, everyone would like to have twice the life force!

Situ Mingzhu was also smiling at this time. Even the Principality of Hanhai did not have the Heavenly Level Fortune Teller's Scepter.

After a moment, Lu Ming calmed down a little before speaking.

"The treasures here are already so valuable, it's hard to believe there would be any treasures in its core area."

Situ Mingzhu looked into the depths, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Let's go take a look."

When the two walked into the core area, they were very surprised by the scene before them.

In front of the two men was a huge square, at least the size of two football fields.

And in this square, there are piles of transparent crystals everywhere.

Lu Ming looked at the crystal and felt it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a moment.

Situ Mingzhu recognized him at a glance.

"Space Crystal!"

"Crystal of Space?" Lu Ming frowned slightly.

"That's not right. There should be light flowing inside the Space Crystal, but there is nothing in the crystal now."

"It is the Space Crystal, but it is a used Space Crystal!"

After listening to Situ Mingzhu's words, Lu Ming felt that it was more and more similar.

Situ Mingzhu frowned slightly: "But why are there so many used space crystals here?"

Lu Ming looked at the square in front of him and found that it was decorated very luxuriously. Many places were paved with white marble with beautiful patterns on it.

These white marbles are not arranged in an ordinary way, and seem to be arranged according to a certain pattern.

"Some kind of graphic?"

An idea suddenly occurred to Lu Ming.

He lightly tapped his feet and flew high into the sky.

When Lu Ming looked down at the entire square, he immediately discovered the problem.

"Sure enough!"
