Covering the sky: I have the body of the sky, and I have inherited the ten evil methods

Chapter 91: Leader-level Figures

Almost at the same time, the runes on the treasure map suddenly exploded, transforming into golden rays of light that shot out in all directions...

"Ah!" A scream was heard... One of the black-robed messengers was struck by the golden light, and his body instantly turned to ash...

"This... what kind of power is this?!" Duan De was so scared that his soul was about to leave his body and his face turned pale.

"Retreat quickly! There's something wrong with this treasure map!" The gray-robed man said hurriedly.

Everyone retreated, not daring to approach the treasure map.

The battle became increasingly intense, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers intertwined into a web of death, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Xiao Chen's sword energy was powerful and every swing of the sword could take the life of a black-robed messenger, but he felt more and more exhausted.

These black-robed messengers seemed like tireless killing machines, advancing one after another, fearless of death.

The sword blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound that hurt the eardrums.

He could feel that his strength was rapidly draining away, and his knuckles were beginning to ache slightly.

The situation of the Saint Lady of Yao Chi is not optimistic either. Although her swordsmanship is elegant and agile, the number of black-robed messengers is too large.

A cold gust of wind brushed across her cheek, leaving a tiny trace of blood. The burning pain made her frown slightly.

There were a few drops of blood on the white clothes, which looked like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, adding a touch of beauty.

The big black dog dodged left and right, jumped up and down, and threw out a few talismans from time to time, barely protecting itself.

But those black-robed messengers obviously didn't fall for it. They launched a series of fierce attacks straight at it, forcing it into a miserable state.

"Damn it, are these guys crazy?!" the big black dog cursed in a low voice, with fear flashing in his eyes and his hair almost standing up.

Jiang Huairen swung the long sword in his hand vigorously, protecting Duan De firmly behind him.

He roared, his sword flashing, like a tireless god of war.

However, the attacks of the black-robed messenger were continuous like the tide, making it hard for him to breathe.

Duan De was already frightened out of his wits, his face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was shaking.

He stared closely at the treasure map that emitted a strange light.

The white-bearded old man's hair and beard were all standing tall, and he exuded a powerful aura, which shocked the black-robed messengers around him and made them retreat again and again.

He looked at the treasure map with serious eyes, as if he had a premonition that something ominous was about to happen.

There was a faint disturbing whisper in the air, like a call from hell, which made people shudder.

The mysterious man in gray robe was also caught in a tough battle. His movements were strange and erratic, but facing the siege of so many masters, he gradually felt overwhelmed.

He was extremely anxious, but helpless.

Just when everyone felt despair, the treasure map emitted a dazzling light again, like a scorching sun breaking through the clouds and rushing straight into the sky.

The light pierced through the darkness like a sword, instantly blocking the attacks of the black-robed messengers outside the light.

The black-robed messengers were shocked by the sudden light and retreated one after another.

"What's going on?" Jiang Huairen asked loudly, still holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and looking around vigilantly.

His battle robe was soaked with sweat, but his eyes still shone with an unyielding light.

Duan De was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, his expression terrified, and the treasure map in his hand trembled slightly.

He stared at the light with his eyes, his heart filled with anxiety and struggle.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, and the fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by greed.

The white-bearded old man's hair and beard were all standing tall, and a powerful aura burst out from him, shocking the black-robed messengers around him and making them retreat repeatedly.

His eyes were fixed on the treasure map, as if he could see through the secrets hidden in it.

The old man's eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing through the barrier of light and looking directly at the hidden passage.

"This light..." The gray-robed man murmured in a low voice. He quickly glanced around and found a hidden passage in the direction of the light.

"This may be the guidance given to us by the treasure map."

Xiao Chen made a decisive decision. He shouted, "Quick, follow this passage!"

He took the lead and followed the direction of the light closely.

The big black dog followed closely behind, with a gleam of intelligence in its eyes, obviously having foreseen this sudden situation.

Everyone quickly followed, and Jiang Huairen still protected Duan De, with the long sword in his hand never leaving his side.

The white-bearded old man walked in front of the crowd, and his powerful aura seemed to have opened up a safe path for them.

The mysterious grey-robed man followed closely behind. His movements were strange, and he moved through the passage like a ghost.

The passage was filled with the smell of moist earth, and water droplets were dripping from the surrounding walls, making a soft tapping sound.

The light flickered in front, as if it had life, leading everyone forward.

The big black dog leaned over close to the ground, carefully observing the traces on the ground, and several thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

"This passage should lead to some unknown place. The light on the treasure map will definitely not appear for no reason." The big black dog whispered with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He has always been curious about mysterious things, and this sudden turn of events made him feel both nervous and excited.

Although Duan De still had his own plans in mind, he had no choice but to follow the crowd at this time.

He muttered as he ran, "I hope this treasure map can lead us to more treasures, rather than more troubles..."

Suddenly, the light of the treasure map gradually stabilized, forming a clear map.

The map clearly shows a path leading to the distance, ending at a mysterious island.

The big black dog immediately came forward and carefully studied every detail of the map.

"The island this map points to should be the one that hides the ultimate secret of the treasure."

The big black dog raised his head and said, "We must get there as soon as possible, otherwise the black-robed messengers will catch up with us."

The black-robed messengers were obviously unwilling to give up. Their footsteps echoed in the passage, like the footsteps of the god of death, pressing forward step by step.

Everyone's nerves were on edge, and everyone knew that if they hesitated for a moment, they might be caught up.

"We must speed up!" Xiao Chen clenched his fists and spoke in a firm and powerful voice.

His eyes were firm, as if he could see through the darkness ahead and see the dawn of hope.

Everyone quickly adjusted their pace and ran faster.

The humidity in the air is getting heavier, and there are more and more water droplets on the ground, as if a heavy rain is about to come.

At the end of the passage, a faint light gradually appeared, revealing a glimmer of hope.

Just when everyone was about to rush out of the passage, the white-bearded old man suddenly stopped and turned to look behind him.

A trace of alert flashed in his eyes: "Be careful, they are behind us!

The exit of the passage was a rocky coastline. The gray-black reefs stretched out to the sea in a jagged pattern, and the waves pounded against them, making a "clattering" sound like the low roar of a wild beast.

A thin layer of fog covered the sea in the distance, and the outline of an island appeared and disappeared in the fog, as illusory as a mirage.

The island is full of peaks and ridges, and the shadows are hazy, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, as if an ancient giant beast is lurking.

The big black dog shook off the water on its body, shaking off like a drowned chicken. It sniffed the air with its nose and said with its tongue sticking out, "Tsk tsk, this place is quite interesting..."

Its green bean-sized eyes were shining with brilliance as it stared straight at the island, as if it could see through the fog and see the secrets buried on the island.

The Saint of Yao Chi gently lifted the hair by her ear, her eyes were cold, but with a hint of imperceptible worry.

She subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Chen, feeling the warmth emanating from him, and felt a little relieved.

Jiang Huairen wiped the seawater off his face, tightened the long knife in his hand, and whispered, "Brother Xiao, next..."

Before he could finish his words, the white-bearded old man raised his hand to interrupt him, looking at the island with deep eyes, "Our destination is there."

The old man's voice sounded particularly low in the sea breeze, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

He took the lead and walked towards a small boat docked on the shore. His back looked particularly tall and mysterious in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The boat cut through the waves and headed towards the mysterious island shrouded in mist.

Xiao Chen stood at the bow, his eyes fixed on the island that was getting closer and closer.

The outline of the island gradually became clear, with rugged rocks and lush vegetation, like a sleeping giant beast, exuding a heart-pounding aura.

He could feel a faint energy fluctuation in the air, ancient and mysterious.

"Be careful, it might not be that simple." Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, reminding everyone around him.

The big black dog squatted at his feet, and the green bean's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Don't worry, kid, I'm here to make sure you're fine!"

The Saint of Yao Chi still looked as aloof as before, but there was a hint of solemnity in her eyes.

She silently drew the sword from her waist. The sword flashed with cold light and emitted a faint frosty scent.

Jiang Huairen gripped the long knife tightly in his hand, his muscles tense, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard, his eyes deep: "This place is not simple, everyone must be careful. Remember, safety first."

The boat finally reached the shore, and everyone got off the boat one after another and set foot on this mysterious island.

As soon as we got ashore, a cold breath hit us in the face, making us feel uncomfortable.

It was quiet all around, the only sound besides the crashing of waves on the shore was the chirping of seabirds, which made it seem even more eerie.

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred!
"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless black shadows rushed out from the dense jungle, with sharp sounds of breaking through the air, and rushed towards the crowd.

"Be careful! It's an ambush!" Xiao Chen shouted, and moved to stand in front of everyone.

Those black shadows were actually a group of people wearing black robes. They had ferocious faces and cold eyes, and they held various weapons in their hands, emitting a disgusting smell of blood.

"If you don't take the road to heaven, you will break into hell! Today, none of you will leave alive!"

The leading black-robed envoy let out a strange, shrill laugh, his voice hoarse, like a night owl.

"Hmph! You guys are just a bunch of rabble? You think you can stop us?" Xiao Chen sneered. He had already expected an ambush and was naturally prepared.

"Dahei! Form the formation!" Xiao Chen gave the order.

The big black dog was ready to go. It let out a strange cry, jumped up, and drew a black lightning in the air.

I saw its dog claws waving quickly, and mysterious runes flew out from under its claws and landed on the ground around it.

"Buzz!"

There was a slight vibration, and an invisible barrier rose up instantly, covering everyone.

"Is this... a killing formation?" The black-robed envoys' faces changed. They obviously didn't expect that the other party was actually proficient in formations.

"Break it for me!" The black-robed messenger roared, waving the long sword in his hand and slashing fiercely at the invisible barrier.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the long sword struck the barrier, but it was like it was striking steel, and it didn't move at all.

"Looking for death!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, and he moved his body, rushing towards the black-robed messengers like a flash of lightning.

He clenched his fists, his spiritual power surged, and each punch carried the power to split mountains and crack rocks.

Those black-robed messengers were no match for him at all. They were knocked away one after another and fell to the ground wailing.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi also drew her sword. Her posture was graceful and her swordsmanship was exquisite. Each sword strike carried a sharp chill. In an instant, several black-robed messengers fell under her sword.

Jiang Huairen followed closely behind, waving the long sword in his hand with great force. The sword light flashed, forcing the black-robed envoys to retreat step by step.

The white-bearded old man stood in the magic circle, his hair and beard spread out, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

He formed seals with his hands and injected spiritual power into the magic circle, making it more solid.

In just a moment, the black-robed messengers were defeated by the crowd, suffering heavy casualties.

"Damn it! Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-robed messenger quickly ordered a retreat.

The remaining black-robed messengers turned around and fled as if they had been pardoned, disappearing into the dense jungle.

Xiao Chen did not chase after them. He knew that these people were just appetizers and the real enemy was still behind.

"Let's go, let's keep moving forward." Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, his eyes looking towards the center of the island.

The group continued to move forward, following the guidance of the treasure map, passing through the dense jungle, climbing over the steep mountains, and finally arrived at the center of the island.

Here they discovered an ancient palace.

The palace is tall, majestic and magnificent. Although it has been eroded by time, it still exudes a powerful aura of oppression.

The walls of the palace are carved with various mysterious patterns, full of ancient atmosphere.

"What a strong energy fluctuation!" Xiao Chen felt the powerful energy fluctuation emanating from the palace, and felt secretly awed in his heart.

"This... is probably the place pointed out by the treasure map." Yao Chi Saint said softly, with a hint of solemnity in her tone.

"Be careful, there might be danger inside." The white-bearded old man warned.

Everyone walked into the palace cautiously.

The interior of the palace was spacious and deep, with eternal lamps lit on the surrounding walls, emitting a dim light, which made it even more eerie.

The moment everyone stepped into the palace, a sinister voice rang out: "We've been waiting for a long time!"

An old man in a black robe with a sinister face slowly walked out from the depths of the palace.

He exuded a heart-pounding evil aura that made people shudder.

"The leader of an evil sect!" Xiao Chen recognized the person at a glance. It was the leader of the evil sect he had been tracking down.
