Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

The two men passed through the three secret doors of the tomb.

The ground is flat and smooth, without any potholes like the first three floors. Instead, it is made of smooth stone bricks. Light shines softly through the huge vault. There is no cold atmosphere here, but instead a warm and secure feeling.

Xia Xiaomo had seen this place on the map. It was very close to the entrance to the fourth floor. Normally, it would take at least the third day to get here, but by following Xu Yeyu, she arrived here on the second day and could stay in the tomb for a full four days!

"What should we do next?"

In fact, Xia Xiaomo knew the next route, but Xu Yeyu was leading the way all the way. She didn't know if he would take a different route from the one on the map.

Little did she know that Xu Yeyu did not answer her question, but asked an unrelated question.

"Miss Xia, do you want a whole sword?"

Xia Xiaomo asked again: "Does that mean the sword is incomplete?"

"That sword should be a broken sword." He looked at Xia Xiaomo, "I don't know if you have the materials to repair the sword."

"I am confident that I can repair that sword."

Xu Yeyu didn't say anything else. As for how to repair it, it was none of his business. His commission was to help the girl find the sword.

Xu Yeyu stood in the corner, looking at the lion statue in front of him. Its eyes revealed the vicissitudes of time, as if it was silently guarding this corner.

He slowly stretched out his hands and gently turned the lion's body so that its eyes were aligned with the center. He turned and walked to another corner, and he also turned the lion statue so that its eyes were aligned with the center.

At this moment, the eyes of the four lion statues emitted shining light. Xia Xiaomo felt as if the air was filled with a huge spiritual energy, but nothing happened.

Time passed silently, leaving only the shining light fixed in the eyes of the four lion stone elephants.

Suddenly, Xu Yeyu said towards the center: "Senior, please help us, we need to go to the other guardian on the third floor."

Who is he talking to? Is there anyone else here?

Then a blurry figure gradually appeared in front of their eyes. He was wearing an ancient robe, and the folds fluttering in the wind seemed to witness the vicissitudes of time. He gently fiddled with a bunch of maze keys, which looked particularly old after years of erosion.

Is this the owner of the tomb?

In the past three years, no one has ever seen the indigenous inhabitants of the secret tomb, only the resurrected monsters and tomb-guarding spirits.

The mysterious man used the key to gently turn right forward, and a pattern quickly formed, forming a complex formation under the feet of the two people.

"My days are up. You are the last to break through. Whether you can take away the treasure depends on you."

The mysterious figure gradually faded and disappeared from the two people's sight. Cracks appeared on the surface of the four lion statues, and they collapsed and turned into countless pieces of rubble that flew everywhere.

After the light disappeared, the two were no longer there.

Xia Xiaomo opened her eyes, and what she saw was a dark and damp wall with wet water droplets dripping on it. The wall was flashing strangely in the dim light, and vines were entangled on the wall.

The two of them felt a strong and cold atmosphere. There was only a rusty iron door here.

If Xia Xiaomo guessed correctly, the one who pushed open the iron gate was the guardian that Xu Yeyu mentioned. She suppressed her excitement and was about to push open the iron gate.

"Miss Xia, just before we were teleported away, that senior said something to me."

The girl in white withdrew her hand and looked at Xu Yeyu. This sentence should be very important.

"I can't tell you what he said now. You will face a strong enemy next and I can't help you."

This was the first time Xia Xiaomo felt nervous. She touched the scabbard at her waist and said, "No problem."

The senior should have also seen that it was she who wanted the sword, so she asked Xu Yeyu not to help. This was a test.

"Then you can challenge me."

She pushed open the iron door with a dull creaking sound, and a narrow staircase wound down.

Darkness, darkness everywhere. With every step they took, they could feel the temperature around them dropping sharply, and they entered a completely different world.

When the two walked down the stairs, a huge altar appeared in front of them. The altar was filled with statues of minotaurs. Although incomplete, they exuded a strange atmosphere.

Huge candles were hung on the walls, burning with weak flames, reflecting the gloomy atmosphere of the altar, and the faint light from the candles barely illuminated the surroundings.

Xu Yeyu looked into the distance.

"It's coming."

A low roar, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, was accompanied by a low and powerful roar, causing the entire altar to shake slightly.

The minotaur raised its huge head, its long horns shining coldly in the darkness, and its eyes were like burning flames, emitting a fierce and beast-like light.

It held a huge sword in its hand, the blade of which was heavy and rough. As the Minotaur roared angrily, a strong murderous intent filled the air, making people feel a tense atmosphere that was ready to go.

The air around the altar seemed to freeze, and the surrounding mist seemed to be attracted by the minotaur's roar, slowly wriggling like a black snake, surrounding the altar.

The third realm, breaking the foundation realm.

Xu Yeyu took a few steps back and said, "Miss Xia, it's up to you now."

The minotaur kicked his feet and flew in front of her, swung the greatsword in his hand, and a sword appeared out of thin air in the girl's scabbard. She quickly grasped the spiritual sword and swung it.

Dazzling sparks and heat waves hit you in the face.

Xu Yeyu looked at the scabbard curiously. He had never carefully observed the scabbard on Xia Xiaomo's waist before. It turned out that the scabbard was connected to a small space, and the sword that appeared out of thin air was taken out of the small space.

If I'm not mistaken, Xia Xiaomo's background is not simple.

There was another thing that Xu Yeyu was concerned about, which was why there was a familiar aura around her. It was because of this aura that made him accept such a troublesome commission from the girl in white.

In the past, he would have refused unless the offer was really too much.

The small altar instantly turned into a battlefield. The sound of metal clashing was endless. The entire space was shaking. The floor was like a huge spider web, breaking into countless pieces and flying everywhere.

The Minotaur couldn't believe that an opponent weaker than himself could hold on to his hands for so long. His huge body emitted a strong red light, and an angry aura filled the surrounding air.

It raised its greatsword and slashed horizontally.

Xia Xiaomo nimbly dodged the sword's horizontal slash. With a loud bang and accompanied by flying stone pieces, the sword hit the stone pillar hard. The stone pillar was swept by the invisible force, and cracks instantly appeared on it. Large chunks of stone slid down from it and fell on the surrounding open space.

She rolled on the ground, then used her left hand to support her body, stood up quickly, and avoided the falling rocks.

It feels like Miss Xia is in danger. Do you want to go and help her?

There is still a realm difference between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Foundation Breaking Realm.

This idea was quickly dismissed by him.

The girl's clothes fluttered, her eyes were surrounded by golden rings and flashed with a cold light, and her temperament changed drastically.

Xu Yeyu didn't expect that Xia Xiaomo had another trick up her sleeve when fighting against a monster with a higher level than her. He thought that the girl in white had already demonstrated her full strength just now, and she was thinking of rescuing people at any time.

Her realm has advanced from the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the true Qi in her body is much stronger than before.

"Is this a secret method?" Xu Yeyu said to himself.

Most cultivators can only master and apply the secret techniques after long-term practice and comprehension of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Of course, there are exceptions. Some people will understand the secret techniques unknowingly.

The minotaur's dull roar was intertwined with the sword light. Every time the sword fell, the ground shook violently and sparks flew. Xia Xiaomo turned around and jumped up, and the sword tip swiftly stabbed at the minotaur's neck.

However, just as the sword was about to touch the Minotaur's neck, the Minotaur swung the sword in his hand fiercely, making a dull crashing sound.

Xia Xiaomo felt a huge force coming, and her whole body was instantly blown away and fell on the stone wall beside her.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up again. She had fought with her senior brothers and sisters in the sect, who were also at the Foundation Breakthrough Realm, but she was far inferior to this minotaur.

She continued to fight with the minotaur. Each sword move was powerful and each slash left a wound on the minotaur's body, but they were not fatal. For a monster with true qi protecting its body, superficial injuries were not considered wounds at all.

Xia Xiaomo never gave up. She kept adjusting her tactics and looking for opportunities.

Xu Yeyu raised his eyebrows slightly. He could see that Xia Xiaomo's inner energy was getting less and less. If she continued like this, she would only be at a disadvantage.

"I want you to try not to help her. This is a test."

These were the words the senior conveyed to him before he disappeared.

Is this test a little too difficult? After using the secret method, Xia Xiaomo became the strongest cultivator he had ever seen. The cultivator who had broken through the Foundation Realm in the third team that went into the tomb was not as strong as her. The secret realm of the tomb itself has limitations, and the highest level of cultivation can only be the Foundation Realm. However, to defeat this monster, ordinary cultivators who have broken through the Foundation Realm simply cannot do it.

As the battle went on, the breath of the girl in white became weaker and weaker.

If Xia Xiaomo's realm could be raised to a higher level, she would definitely win this battle. Unfortunately, she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and her energy consumption could not keep up with this duel.

Sweat dripped from the girl's forehead, her breathing became rapid, she felt her physical strength gradually overdrawn, and her muscles began to ache.

"Miss Xia, we can't delay this any longer!" Xu Yeyu shouted, "If you have any special moves, use them quickly, otherwise you won't be able to defeat it."

When Xia Xiaomo heard Xu Yeyu's shout, she distanced herself from the minotaur.

She took a deep breath, feeling the gathering of the true energy in her body. The sword in her hand trembled slightly, and a stream of sword energy gathered on the blade of the spirit sword.

She leaped up at her fastest speed like the wind, swung her sword, and the sword energy whizzed out, hitting the minotaur in the chest, knocking it away, and its huge body fell to the ground.

Just when she thought that the sword had defeated the minotaur, it slowly stood up with blood on its chest. It was obvious that the girl in white had severely injured it and did not completely knock it down.

The light in Xia Xiaomo's eyes gradually faded, and she fell to her knees on the ground. Her true energy had run out.
