Chapter 1248 1159: Seizing the Spear
Chapter 1248 1159: Seizing the Spear
Under the watchful and gloating eyes of everyone, Wang Yan and Luo Yuan walked to the head of the arched bridge.
At this moment, the bridge was filled with soldier terracotta warriors guarding the city. Although they were just standing on the bridge and had not yet attacked, it was imaginable that once Wang Yan and Luo Yuan set foot on the stone bridge, these soldier terracotta warriors would surely launch an immediate attack.
Luo Yuan said to Wang Yan in a trembling voice, "Setting foot on the bridge means death for us. We might as well beg Venerable Ghost Valley for mercy."
Wang Yan only smiled faintly and said, "Don't be afraid, I said before, I absolutely have confidence."
Hearing that Wang Yan was confident, although Luo Yuan didn't believe it, he still breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Wang Yan continued, "You charge forward, and I'll support you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan almost had his knees go weak, nearly about to sit on the ground. He cursed in his heart: Is this what you call confidence? You're sending me to my death. What kind of confidence is that?
But just then, Luo Yuan felt something solid in his right hand, as if Wang Yan had shoved something into it.
Luo Yuan instinctively clenched his hand and looked down, only to find that he was holding a black spear.
As Luo Yuan was still bewildered, Wang Yan gave him a gentle push from behind, causing Luo Yuan to step forward involuntarily to the edge of the arched bridge.
Seeing someone reach the edge of the arched bridge, the soldier terracotta warrior standing at the bridgehead immediately moved, raising his spear and slashing towards Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan was shocked and was about to dodge back.
But unexpectedly, his spear suddenly thrust forward, piercing towards the soldier terracotta warrior.
Luo Yuan never expected that the spear could move by itself and was thus being pulled forward.
Luo Yuan cursed Wang Yan in his heart, feeling utterly victimized.
However, in the eyes of others, it was a completely different scenario.
First, Luo Yuan stood at the forefront, then Wang Yan handed him the spear, and after Luo Yuan got the spear, he immediately charged forward bravely.
No one realized that this spear belonged to Wang Yan; instead, they thought that this 'follower' of Wang Yan's was merely holding onto the spear for Luo Yuan.
As Luo Yuan rushed onto the arched bridge, all the soldier terracotta warriors on the bridge came alive, swarming towards Luo Yuan.
The forest of spears stood at attention, all pointed at Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan's heart sank instantly, believing he was doomed.
But, at that very moment, the black spear in his hand thrust forward, piercing the soldier terracotta warrior at the very front.
With a "puff" sound, the soldier terracotta warrior was immediately pierced through, the spear tip going all the way through.
Seeing this, everyone around burst out in laughter.
Seeing Luo Yuan so brave, they thought his spear would be extremely powerful, but it turned out it only poked a hole in the soldier terracotta warrior.
One must know that these soldier terracotta warriors are clad in armor made of black kun stone, with powerful Yin Souls at their core. To kill a soldier terracotta warrior, one must first break through the armor of black kun stone and then kill the Yin Soul inside before the armor reconstitutes.
This process sounds simple, but killing a Yin Soul is no easy task.
Most people can only attack the soldier terracotta warriors with great force, shattering the outer armor while shaking the Yin Soul to death.
But this consumes enormous magic power, which is why soldier terracotta warriors are so hard to eliminate.
Seeing Luo Yuan's weak first strike, everyone shook their heads, convinced he wouldn't make it three steps and would surely die.
As for Wang Yan standing behind Luo Yuan, everyone paid him no mind.
Not only the spectators but Luo Yuan's own heart also felt instantly chilled.
As the black spear in his hand pierced through the soldier terracotta warrior, the warrior's spear was already raised above his head, about to fall onto Luo Yuan's head.
Luo Yuan shut his eyes, exclaiming in his heart: It's over.
However, the spear above Luo Yuan's head didn't fall; instead, the soldier terracotta warrior toppled sideways and fell off the arched bridge into the magma with a "splash."
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
How could such a strong soldier terracotta warrior be killed so easily?
Even Luo Yuan was somewhat stunned.
But as he was stunned, the black spear in his hand moved again. The spear tip danced, transforming into streams of black light, striking at the soldier terracotta warriors in front of him.
The spear tip was extremely sharp, easily piercing small holes into these soldier terracotta warriors, and after making a small hole, the black spear immediately retracted.
The pierced soldier terracotta warriors immediately fell into the magma river.
At this moment, everyone behind watched in stunned silence, even the Three Great Demon Venerables and the two Half-Venerables couldn't help but look at Luo Yuan.
They saw Luo Yuan displaying great power, the black spear in his hand dancing like a black flood dragon, not allowing a single soldier terracotta warrior to stay in his presence for a moment.
"When did Luo Yuan become so powerful?"
"What kind of magical treasure is that black spear in his hand?"
"No wonder he dared to attack actively; he must have known it all along."
...
Hearing the murmurs behind him, Luo Yuan felt a bitter chill in his heart.
Because these soldier terracotta warriors were not killed by him but by the black spear in his hand.
In other words, even without him, this black spear would still fly around and kill the soldier terracotta warriors.
And he was merely the puppet behind the black spear.
Luo Yuan tried to release the black spear, but his right hand was as though glued to the spear shaft and couldn't shake it off.
Luo Yuan immediately recalled that when Wang Yan handed him this black spear earlier, he lightly pressed his hand, and he figured he couldn't let go of this black spear because of Wang Yan's slight press.
Luo Yuan turned his head back, looking at Wang Yan with a bitter smile.
He saw Wang Yan leisurely following behind him, walking step by step towards the city gate.
Seeing Wang Yan's leisurely demeanor, a chill rose from the depths of his heart, enveloping his entire body.
"Absolutely unfathomable, absolutely unfathomable, this person is truly terrifying!" Numerous thoughts floated in Luo Yuan's mind. If he weren't on the bridge right now and if there wasn't surging magma below, Luo Yuan would have jumped off the arched bridge, trying to escape at top speed.
But when Luo Yuan turned back, he saw the greedy eyes of Venerable Ghost Valley and others on the shore. These eyes were not looking at him, but at the black spear in his hand.
"It's over, I've been used as a shield again! I'll probably be hunted down by countless people because of this spear." Luo Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart.
Indeed, at this moment, everyone realized that the black spear was the reason Luo Yuan was unstoppable.
This black spear was definitely a magical treasure designed to restrain soldier terracotta warriors.
With this spear, in a world relying on soldier terracotta warriors as enemies, one's battle power would surely increase tremendously.
From this moment on, everyone wanted to seize the black spear in Luo Yuan's hand.
This black spear was actually Wang Yan's Soul-Breaking Spear.
The Soul-Breaking Spear is best at absorbing souls, so the Yin Souls inside the soldier terracotta warriors are easily absorbed into the Gun Sakura.
But Venerable Ghost Valley and others didn't know that the Soul-Breaking Spear was just a Soul Skill, the greed in their eyes growing stronger and stronger.
And Venerable Ghost Valley and others all knew the opportunity to seize the black spear had come.
Because Luo Yuan was about to charge into the city gate, and by this time, the soldier terracotta warriors on the city walls had already drawn their bows, aiming down.
As soon as Luo Yuan reached the city gate, a rain of arrows would surely fall, killing both Luo Yuan and Wang Yan, making it the perfect moment to seize the black spear.
