Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428
At this moment, his body had been battered to the point where only half of it remained. His wings were completely shattered, and the dissipating aura stripped away their protective ability. Only three of his legs were left uncut, and he was blinded in one eye.
Despite this, he relied on his rich experience to slay over a hundred soul bodies, barely holding off the tremendous damage inflicted by the Seven-Heart Demon Lord’s ancient corpse. He finally managed to break through to the tomb’s entrance! There were still three soul bodies guarding it, and the ancient corpse was close on his heels with a thud, thud, thud. Biting his teeth, the Ghost-faced Cicada Old Demon released a ring of dark green light and charged at the three soul bodies without a care for the ancient corpse chasing behind him. The three remaining legs shimmered with a Wolf Fang Club-shaped aura, and with a single strike, the three soul bodies convulsed in pain, gradually shattering into nothingness.
However, the ancient corpse followed closely, easily shattered the ring of light with its palm-like blade and once again pierced through his body. Ghost-faced Cicada’s body trembled, as dark green demon blood seeped from his various wounds. Ignoring the pain, he flung himself towards the front, pulling his body off the ancient corpse’s arm and crashing through the tomb door.
Ghost-faced Cicada fell out of the ancient tomb, rolling down the stone stairs in front of the tomb.
"You two little things, I will definitely eat you!" Ghost-faced Cicada gritted his teeth in hatred. Eating those two little things would be a huge loss, as he needed to find a place to heal immediately. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to recover his strength without sixty years.
Ghost-faced Cicada’s biggest advantage now was that he had awakened earlier than his old rivals by several decades. But now, that advantage was undoubtedly wasted!
Cursing as he stood up, his wounds still bled, he searched for the two little creatures. Even if he was seriously injured, he had full confidence in killing those two culprits with a single blow.
However, Ghost-faced Cicada suddenly felt something was wrong. The world outside the tomb door was still the same world, but something had subtly changed. He sneered, "A mini-world? What a bold idea! Not only did they dare to trap me after taking advantage of me, but they also set an ambush in a mini-world, hoping to profit from the fisherman’s gains? Ridiculous!"
Suddenly, a golden chess piece appeared beside him, instantly transforming into a warrior with a blank expression and an ancient sword in hand.
The warrior stabbed with his sword, but Ghost-faced Cicada’s two legs have already struck him on both sides. Fissures appeared on the warrior’s body, but these fissures were actually the texture of the city walls!
"They’re not fissures!" Ghost-faced Cicada was shocked, "This thing actually blocked my attack!"
In just a blink of an eye, the ancient sword in the warrior’s hand had pierced through Ghost-faced Cicada’s head, with the sword tip emerging from the back of his head.
"Tire-8 Sword Artifact, and even among the strongest of Tire-8!" This was Ghost-face Cicada’s last thought, as he couldn’t understand how such a powerful ancient sword could appear in this era and willingly be controlled by two Tire-7 individuals.
Then, he saw the golden warrior raise the sword sheath in his other hand, emitting a terrifying suction force. Ghost-face Cicada’s consciousness was plunged into complete darkness.
...Where did things go wrong? I should have been the oriole...
Little Princess skipped out from the side, "Quick, let me see, what good treasures are there!"
Uncle Sun regretfully said, "Sadly, most of the treasures were destroyed by the ancient corpse of the Seven-Hearted Demon Lord in the tomb. Only a few are left."
Uncle Sun took out three treasures from Ghost-face Cicada’s corpse but didn’t let Little Princess see them. Instead, he found three large bowls from some storage brocade pouch, covered the treasures with a clatter, and quickly rotated his hands.
Little Princess tried her best to keep up with her brother’s movements but soon became dizzy and confused...
Finally, Uncle Sun released his grip and smiled at Little Princess, "Choose now, but you only have one chance."
Killing Ghost-face Cicada was Uncle Sun’s merit; sharing a piece of the spoils with Princess Amelia was already generous of him.
Little Princess pouted, "You’re so petty! You’re a man, you should be more magnanimous!" Uncle Sun glared, "Will you choose? If not, I’ll take it back."
"I’ll choose!" Little Princess yelled hurriedly. She tried to cheat, but she discovered a layer of power shielding the heavens above the three bowls, even after she secretly changed several types of demon techniques! Little Princess was angered, it was too much! You may cheat, but you won’t let me take a peek?
Uncle Sun began the countdown, "Hurry, if you haven’t decided by the time I’m done, it counts as an automatic forfeiture."
Little Princess hesitated, her hand hovering over the three bowls, unable to make a decision. Relying on luck, she hesitated between the three. Uncle Sun’s ten-second countdown was almost over, so she closed her eyes, reached out, and pressed down on a bowl, "This one!"
"Really?" A mysterious smile appeared on Uncle Sun’s face, "Are you sure you want to choose this one? No regrets, now. I can give you another chance to change your choice."
The Little Princess was about to explode, gnashing her teeth, "Brother, you’re so mean!"
Uncle Sun smiled faintly, "Then... would you like to change your choice after all?"
Little Princess hesitated once more, but ultimately, she pressed the bowl and shook her head vigorously, "I won’t change it!" She flipped the bowl with her hand, revealing nothing underneath it!
