Chapter 427 - Meeting on a Narrow Road

Chapter 427: Meeting on a Narrow Road

“Phoenix, spit fire!”

Phoenix spat out a stream of flames at the robot before her.

When the flames arrived, the robot turned into nothingness.

Neeson, who had just put down the arm that covered his eyes, saw this scene. His pupils constricted abruptly, and shock, disbelief, and a fiery glow flashed across his eyes.

Chu Luo pointed at the robots with a cold face. “Burn them all.”

Phoenix quickly spat out flames. Wherever the flames went, the robots would turn into nothingness.

Li Yan, who had been standing beside Chu Luo, realized that Neeson wanted to escape, so he walked towards him.

When Neeson saw Li Yan coming, he quickly got a few robots to protect him.

Li Yan accumulated internal energy in his hand and waved his whip at the robots blocking him.

Neeson felt that his robots couldn’t hold on anymore. He quickly took out something that looked like an iron egg[1].

Then, he placed that iron egg on a robot.

When Li Yan’s laser gun swept across the robot, an explosion shook the entire tomb.

Chu Luo abruptly turned around and arrived in front of Li Yan.

“Yan, are you okay?”

Li Yan coughed and grabbed her hand. “It’s okay. I was just shocked by the airflow from the robot’s explosion.”

Chu Luo quickly placed her hand on his chest, which emitted a gentle red light.

After the red light, Li Yan felt the pain in his chest disappear.

At this moment, Phoenix had already burned all the robots in the tomb and returned to Chu Luo’s wrist.

A few bodyguards quickly surrounded her.

“Master, Miss Chu, Neeson ran away.”

Li Yan’s expression was cold. “He can’t get away.”

After saying that, he held Chu Luo’s hand and walked out of the tomb.

Since Chu Luo had already let the bodyguards see her Phoenix, she didn’t hide it anymore. A red light surrounded them.

“Since the flames that Phoenix spat out can burn Neeson’s robots, if we see him again, let Phoenix take him on.”

“Okay.”

The further they walked in, the colder it became. The air around them wasn’t as smooth as before.

Soon, they arrived at a passageway.

There were no Eternal Lamps on this passageway, but it was bright.

The murals on the wall were different from what they had seen before.

The moment they entered this passageway, Chu Luo and Li Yan knew that they were already very close to the real imperial tomb door.

At this moment, a bodyguard couldn’t help but say in shock, “This country seems to be different from any country in history that we’ve studied.”

On it was carved a sacrificial activity in the Kingdom of the Phoenix Skies.

Chu Luo looked at the murals as she walked.

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly pulled her to a mural and stopped.

He looked at the person on it and asked, “Luoluo, who is this?”

The bodyguards secretly looked at Li Yan in surprise, wondering why Master was asking Miss Chu this question.

Chu Luo looked at the person wearing a mask who was organizing a ritual and said, “It’s my master.”

Li Yan tilted his head to look at her. He wanted to ask if she was on it, but his gaze landed on something.

He pulled her over.

There was a high and mighty emperor standing in the mural. Beside the emperor stood a white-dressed woman wearing a veil.

Even though it was a mural, when the two of them stood together, it made people feel a strong sense of reverence from the bottom of their hearts.

The bodyguards who followed over actually didn’t dare to look up.

Li Yan didn’t ask Chu Luo who they were. Instead, he tightened his grip on her hand and continued to pull her in.

Along the way, they didn’t encounter anything. There were no dumplings or poisonous substances. This place was like an ancient tomb that had been developed for the two of them to visit.

A strange feeling flashed across the hearts of the six bodyguards following behind the two of them.

As for what was strange, they couldn’t tell.

After walking for some time, a bodyguard subconsciously raised his wrist to look at the time.

However, he suddenly exclaimed and asked the bodyguard beside him in a low voice, “My watch seems to be broken. Look at the time.”

The bodyguard raised his wrist to take a look and said in surprise, “My watch isn’t moving either.”

When the other four bodyguards heard this, they checked the time at the same time and sucked in a cold breath.

Chu Luo turned around and said to them, “The magnetic field here has destroyed the machinery on the watch. It definitely won’t move.”

The bodyguards heaved a sigh of relief.

After walking for a while, Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Luoluo, are you hungry?”

Chu Luo felt a little hungry, so she nodded at him.

After saying that, she pointed not far ahead. “There’s a tomb chamber there. Let’s go inside and eat.”

“Okay.”

They walked into the tomb chamber Chu Luo was pointing at. Other than a stone table and a few stone stools, there was actually nothing inside.

Chu Luo walked over and sat down. She said, “We can take the chance to rest. We’ve been walking for the entire day.”

The bodyguards were a little surprised.

They had actually been walking for a day?

After eating, Chu Luo bent her right index finger slightly and knocked on the stone wall a few times. The bracelet on her wrist emitted a crisp sound at the same time. It was especially pleasant to the ears.

“What are you doing?”

“Hearing if those people have arrived.”

This was already the periphery of the Fengtian Emperor’s tomb chamber. By the time Chu Luo walked here, all her abilities had been restored.

After a while, she said, “Those people are almost here. Let’s go to the door and wait for them.”

The bodyguards were a little puzzled as to why Chu Luo said to wait at the door, but no one dared to ask.

They rested for more than half an hour and continued walking forward.

After walking for about half an hour, their view suddenly widened.

This place was originally very deep underground, but it seemed to be illuminated by the sunlight. It was bright and spacious, like a large open space outside the city gate.

In front of them was a very wide and heavy stone door.

On the stone door were carvings of dragons and phoenixes.

Just looking at that door brought about a strong pressure that made the bodyguards feel fearful.

They wanted to leave.

At this moment, Chu Luo suddenly said, “Someone’s here.”

Not long after she finished speaking, those people with ashen faces and frightened expressions walked over quickly. They didn’t look good at all.

It was Duanmu Rui’s men.

There weren’t many of them, only five.

Among the five of them, one of them was probably a bodyguard who was piggy-backing Duanmu Rui. The other three were obviously so-called experts, but at this moment, the experts were dressed in ragged clothes and had disheveled hair. There was also a bloody smell on their bodies.

When they saw the door, their faces finally revealed excitement and surprise. However, when they saw Chu Luo and Li Yan standing outside the stone door, their expressions changed.

Duanmu Rui quickly jumped off the bodyguard’s back and stared at the two of them warily.

“Li Yan, Chu Luo, you’re actually here too? We really met on a narrow road!”

At this point, his expression changed and he said mockingly, “Didn’t you always refuse to go down this tomb? Why did you find this place before us?”

As he spoke, he glanced at the bodyguards beside the two of them, ignored their clean and tidy behavior, and gloated. “Looks like you’re even worse than me. Have you also been detouring underground for a few days and been attacked by all kinds of poisonous substances?”

Hearing this, Chu Luo smiled. “Looks like you guys are indeed very pitiful.”

Duanmu Rui looked at Chu Luo with displeasure and ridiculed her even more. “Li Yan, do you think this tomb is a tourist attraction owned by your family? To think you actually brought a woman here. Or… do you want to… Uh… Pfft…”

As the whip landed heavily on the ground and emitted a loud bang, Duanmu Rui spat out a mouthful of blood and a tooth, before falling unconscious. The expressions of his bodyguard and three experts changed drastically

In the next moment, they reacted and quickly ran over. “Third Young Master! Third Young Master!”

Duanmu Rui was finally awake after being called by them. He lay there with his mouth wide open and shouted at the three experts, “Go kill Li Yan!”

The three experts were about to move when they heard a crisp sound. They realized that they couldn’t move. No matter how they tried to use their abilities, they couldn’t move.

Seeing that they weren’t moving, Duanmu Rui scolded in exasperation, “Are you stupid? I told you to kill that guy. Are you deaf?!”

Li Yan looked at him coldly and ordered the bodyguards, “Tear his mouth apart.”

“Ah… Li Yan, how dare you! Ahhh… quickly stop them!”

Duanmu Rui looked at the two bodyguards striding over and quickly shouted at his bodyguard.

However, his bodyguard had fought with the dumplings and poison before and had carried him the entire way. He was already exhausted and wasn’t a match for Li Yan’s bodyguards.

He tried to block their attack and was thrown to the side by one of the bodyguards.

Duanmu Rui watched as his bodyguard fainted after being thrown a few meters away. His eyes widened abruptly, especially when the other bodyguard had already walked up to him and was about to reach out to him.

“Ahhh… Get lost. Don’t come near me… Li Yan, don’t forget that my grandfather saved your life. How dare you treat me like this! Aren’t you afraid the heavens will… Ouch…”

The bodyguard ripped Duanmu Rui’s mouth apart.

Looking at Duanmu Rui, who was rolling on the ground in pain, Chu Luo retracted her gaze and said to Li Yan, “The other two batches are here.”

Li Yan said to the bodyguard, “Make him shut up.”

The bodyguard knocked him out with a karate chop.
