Chapter 834 The Burial City is Attacked!
A few days later, led by Shi Hao, Cao Yusheng and the others finally arrived at one of the most famous places in the Burial Realm, the Burial City.
The city of burial was less a city and more a vast graveyard.
The city walls were built of dark gray boulders, covered with scratches from swords and scorch marks from spells, as if they had witnessed countless fierce battles.
Most of the buildings in the city are ruins, some have collapsed more than halfway, and some are just a lonely stone wall that casts long shadows in the hazy light of the day.
There weren't many pedestrians in this city; most of them were the first generation of geniuses and ancient oddities from various tribes.
They wandered among the ruins in twos and threes; some were looking for opportunities, some were exchanging information, and some were just passing by.
"Um?"
As soon as Shi Hao stepped into the area of the burial city, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The next instant, an extremely strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart, as if he had been locked onto by an unseen ancient beast, making the hairs on his body stand on end.
His divine senses had become extremely sharp ever since he cultivated his first wisp of immortal energy.
At this moment, this divine sense, like a sounded alarm bell, reverberated wildly in his mind.
"Get out of the way!"
Shi Hao shouted, his voice filled with an unprecedented urgency: "Everyone, retreat quickly..."
Although Qingyi and Fengwu did not understand what had happened, seeing Shi Hao's alarmed expression, they immediately pulled the Taiyin Jade Rabbit back.
Lin Dong, Cao Yusheng, and the others also dispersed, cautiously observing their surroundings.
They knew that whatever could make Shi Hao so nervous was definitely not simple, and that was indeed the case.
"--boom!!!"
As soon as Shi Hao finished speaking, a very faint sound of air being torn apart came from the void.
The voice was like a venomous snake's tongue, carrying a deadly chill.
Immediately afterwards, a blood-red sword suddenly shot out from the void, its blade like burning blood, carrying boundless killing intent, and aimed straight at Shi Hao's brow.
The blood sword was incredibly fast; wherever its edge passed, the void was torn apart, leaving a dark crack.
Shi Hao looked up and saw that the blood sword was covered with densely packed rule runes.
In an instant, the entire space seemed to freeze.
The cultivators who were still walking in the city were horrified to find that their bodies were unable to move, and they could not even circulate their spiritual energy.
It felt like time had stopped at that moment.
Cao Yusheng and the others were filled with fear, but they couldn't even utter a sound. They could only watch helplessly as the blood sword stabbed towards Shi Hao.
However, Shi Hao was not one of them.
The supreme blood within him began to boil the moment it sensed that killing intent.
The moment the blood sword struck, he shook himself violently, and golden light burst forth from his body, shattering the binding force.
His body was freed.
But the blood-stained sword was already in front of him, only inches away from his brow.
Shi Hao did not retreat. He raised his hand and waved it, and the Great Luo Sword Embryo appeared in his palm. He then directly slashed at the blood sword.
"--clang!!!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire burial city.
The two swords clashed, sparks flying.
Golden light and crimson light intertwined, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.
Shi Hao felt an overwhelming force emanating from the blood sword, which made his arm go numb.
He was startled and instantly recognized the origin of the blood sword.
This is a magical artifact forged from the original true bones of a celestial being. It belongs to the celestial level and contains extremely terrifying power of rules.
If the material of the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand hadn't been hard enough, the aftershock of that attack would have been enough to seriously injure him.
"A divine artifact..."
Shi Hao gritted his teeth and said, his gaze falling on the blood sword, his mind racing with calculations.
The person who could use a divine artifact to assassinate him was definitely not an ordinary person.
Moreover, the fact that this person was able to approach so closely without him noticing indicates that the other party's concealment skills were extremely sophisticated, and they were very likely the number one assassin of the Heavenly Kingdom.
He dared not delay. With a wave of his hand, the golden alchemy furnace flew out of the cave and hovered in front of him, transforming into a golden light curtain that separated him from the blood sword.
However, the runes on the crimson blood sword became even more intense at this moment, as if enraged by the light of the alchemy furnace, and began to frantically absorb the power in the void.
Its blade grew brighter and brighter, as if it were about to burst into flames, while also emitting an extremely terrifying aura, as if it were about to explode at any moment.
"This guy is ruthless..."
Shi Hao's heart skipped a beat.
He understood the other party's intention.
The assassin not only wanted to kill him, but also wanted to perish together with him, even at the cost of destroying this divine artifact and completely annihilating him.
Without thinking, he turned around and shouted to Cao Yusheng and the others, "Run...everyone run!"
As he spoke, he swung the Great Luo Sword Embryo, slicing through the void and tearing open a huge spatial rift in front of him.
He wanted to force the blood sword into the void rift, causing it to explode in another space, thus avoiding affecting the others in the city.
However, the blood sword seemed to possess sentience. After sensing the suction force of the void rift, it did not retreat but instead advanced, violently crashing into Shi Hao.
"--boom!!!"
A deafening roar once again echoed through the burial city.
The blood sword shattered the moment it touched Shi Hao, turning into a sea of blood-red fire that engulfed him.
Flames shot into the sky, their light dazzling, and the entire space trembled violently.
Those cultivators who were closer were all thrown back by the aftershocks, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
Those who were further away were also pushed back by the shockwave, leaving them in a sorry state.
Shi Hao's figure also disappeared into the blood-red sea of fire.
A faint golden light could be seen flickering in the firelight, as if resisting the destructive force.
Lin Dong and the others stood at a distance, their faces pale, staring intently at the surging sea of fire, their hearts in their throats.
The Moon Jade Rabbit gripped Cao Yusheng's sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with worry: "Brother Shi Hao, he won't be alright, will he...?"
Cao Yusheng clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the sea of fire: "No way, that guy even broke through the strange ancient ship, he won't die here."
Luo Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Shi Hao has cultivated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique and possesses many of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques. His physical strength is incomparably powerful, and this level of attack cannot harm him..."
Lin said angrily, "I'm not worried about Brother Shi Hao. What I'm concerned about is who exactly is the guy who ambushed us?"
Han Li said thoughtfully, "Is there even a question? It must be that so-called number one assassin of Heaven..."
