Each of the four passageways is guarded by a terrifying expert from the Chambord.
In the first passage, the red-haired warrior guarding the gate wielded a giant sword, his entire body crackling with Charged Bolt speed, his punches almost invisible. Even with Arshavin's Six-Star Class Fire-Element Dou Qi level, he could only vaguely detect the red-haired warrior's fist marks. To completely block them was extremely difficult. Clearly, this red-haired warrior possessed a terrifyingly advanced Lightning-Element Dou Qi technique.
In the second passage, guarded by two giants, one with white hair and the other with black hair, clad in strange and powerful armor, their formidable physical strength imbued each simple punch with the roar of dragons and tigers, making one wonder if beneath their skin lay the bodies of Dread Beast. Their Dou Qi techniques were also extraordinary, their power subtly revealing an ancient, mysterious aura, like a sky full of stars, which sent shivers down one's spine.
In the third passage, the gatekeeper was a stunningly beautiful female magic archer whom Arshavin had once seen atop the East Mountain of Chambord City. Compared to a little over a month ago, this archer's power had increased several times over. The endless stream of magical arrows, like a storm, and the surging magical power accompanying them, effortlessly shifted between lightning, ice, and flames. Clearly, she was proficient in all three forms of magic—electric, ice, and fire—and had achieved considerable skill in each. The young Imperial [ God of War ] could sense that although this peerless female magic archer had never used Dou Qi techniques, her strength was no less than that of the red-haired greatsword warrior in the first passage.
In the fourth passage, the gatekeeper was a handsome young man with flowing blond hair. His archery skills were an art form; watching him wield the bow and shoot arrows possessed an indescribable, graceful beauty, like a moon spirit dancing amidst a sky full of stars. What was particularly eerie was that although the arrows he shot did not contain magical power, they carried a mysterious aura whose origin was unclear to Arshavin. With the enhancement of this aura, the arrows could pierce through any tough armor, and the protective Dou Qi of Four-Star-Rank Warrior was as fragile as paper under such arrows. Beside the young man, a supposedly obese man resembling a mountain of flesh, although he never had a chance to fight, exuded a sinister and ruthless aura like that of Hell demon, clearly indicating that he was also a formidable expert.
Four passages, six top masters.
These six masters, even in the capital city of Saint Petersburg, would be highly sought-after guests by various noble forces and even the ten main battle legions.
When exactly did King of Chambord Alexander, this monstrous figure, cultivate such a master? When did he suddenly acquire such a force that no power in the capital dared to ignore?
After quietly witnessing this completely one-sided massacre, even Arshavin, whose heart had long since become calm and indifferent through countless life-and-death experiences on the battlefield, was deeply shaken.
Beyond the shock, this powerful God of War within the empire also sensed a hidden threat.
"If this trend continues, will the King of Chambord one day become so powerful that he stands on equal footing with the Empire?"
High in the sky, amidst the dark clouds.
The Empire's first bard, Materazzi, who was always fond of talking incessantly, had fallen silent at some point, even forgetting to drink. He narrowed his eyes slightly, quietly overlooking the battle below. Flames soared into the sky, and amidst this raging inferno, the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps had essentially been annihilated... but the speed of this annihilation was far too fast, so fast that even Materazzi had to shut his mouth, which seemed destined never to close.
However, the eyes of Krasich, the Imperial Martial Saint beside him, grew increasingly bright.
Materazzi witnessed this.
"Old buddy, I think you're really tempted. Are you really going to do it?" Materazzi asked.
"Kindness."
"Do you know what your actions mean for the Empire, given King of Chambord's current power?"
"Kindness."
"So you're still going to do it?"
"Time."
"Alas... Life in this vast world often leaves you helpless. What good is mighty force? What good is a noble status? What good is a position that everyone reveres? It's all just a game, and only the strongest can reap the final reward!"
Materazzi seemed to be speaking from the heart.
call out!
With a swift movement, the Martial Saint Krasic transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the vast darkness of the night.
Buzz buzz buzz!
As Sun Fei reached for the [ Demon King's Wisdom ] floating in the air, a series of silver ripples suddenly appeared in the air, and an invisible circular shield appeared out of thin air, blocking Sun Fei's fingers.
The resistance of the silver light shield was so great that even with all his strength, Sun Fei could not press a single millimeter of indentation into it.
At this moment, Sun Fei was surprised to find that around the [ Demon King's Wisdom ] floating in the air, there were six other floating stone lamps. The lamps had no wicks or oil, but they burned with pale green, lifeless flames. The six stone lamps were locked by eighteen stone chains engraved with various runes, and they floated in the void, like stars surrounding the moon, protecting the [ Demon King's Wisdom ] in the very center.
Perhaps because his attention had been completely drawn to the [ Demon King's Wisdom ], Sun Fei hadn't noticed the stone lamp and stone chain at all.
He tried several times, but couldn't get his hands on it at all.
Frowning, Sun Fei's mind raced. He had to find a way to take control of everything here. Whether it was the Golden Skeleton, the book " The Demon King's Wisdom," the stone lamps and chains, or the runes drawn by the shifting, magical silver light on the pale yellow walls, they all clearly contained enormous secrets and absolutely could not fall into the hands of others.
He quickly came up with an idea.
Buzzing.
Activating one of the three divine skills, the [ Summon ] skill, a sky-blue Teleport appeared in the stone chamber.
Sun Fei entered the Teleport.
The next second, he appeared in the [ Rogue Encampment ] in the Diablo World.
It seems that the walls of this mysterious stone chamber do not block the effect of the divine skill [ Summon ], nor do they block the Teleport array. In this way, Sun Fei's plan is feasible.
With this plan, he could even turn the entire stone chamber into his own secret backyard.
Ten minutes later.
A blue light flashed, Sun Fei appeared at the deepest part of the dark pit in the underground hall. As he stepped out of the Teleport, the two strange footprints he stepped on again were accompanied by a series of clicking sounds and a buzzing sound. The blue light faded, and the Teleport in the pit disappeared naturally.
With a thought, Sun Fei unleashed a wave of power, pushing all the broken bones beneath his feet to the surroundings.
Beneath the original two footprints, two mechanical devices that closely resembled footprints were revealed.
These are two pedals. By stepping on the pedals intermittently, the mechanism beneath them will send two mid-level mages to the hidden magic circle's magic transmission hub ahead. This will activate the magic patterns on the stone wall, opening a Teleport to the mysterious stone chamber behind. When you step on them a second time, it will push the mages off the magic transmission hub and cause the magic Teleport to disappear.
This explains why Teleport appeared before Sun Fei as soon as he stepped on those two footprints.
Sun Fei carefully observed the entire mechanism, then suddenly unleashed a burst of internal force from his feet. With a deafening roar, all the mechanisms were pulverized into powder, mixing with stone and bone fragments without leaving a trace. He then gently rubbed his palm against the stone wall, and when he withdrew his hand, a large amount of stone dust fell from the wall. The magic array diagram that had been on it was also pulverized by his internal force. The entire stone wall was now rough and uneven, with no trace of the magic array diagram that had ever existed.
After doing all this, Sun Fei carefully observed the area again to make sure there were no oversights, then lightly leaped up and floated to the top of the pit.
The entire underground hall was still filled with the shimmering glow of treasures and the cold glint of armor and weapons, as if nothing had happened. However, Sun Fei was certain that from now on, even a Sun-Rank Venerable would not be able to enter the mysterious space where the Golden Skeleton skull was located without the magical coordinates of that mysterious stone chamber.
At that moment, Sun Fei suddenly understood many things.
Clearly, before me, there had been someone who frequently visited the underground hall and that mysterious space.
If Sun Fei wasn't mistaken, that person must be the leader of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps.
This man was incredibly lucky. I don't know how he discovered this underground cave that had existed for so long. He originally intended to renovate and expand the cave to build a treasure vault or something similar, but he accidentally opened the Teleport and was sent into the mysterious stone chamber. I guess after seeing the Golden Skeleton and the [ Demon King's Wisdom ], he immediately realized their value, so he killed all the craftsmen and kept the secret for himself.
However, the Blood Blade leader's strength was limited. He couldn't get close to the Golden Skeleton, couldn't get the double-edged battle axe, and couldn't break the silver light shield to obtain the book [ The Demon King's Wisdom ]. So he could only look at the contents from afar. Moreover, this person's talent and aptitude were very limited. He had only learned a superficial understanding of the book about magic traps and mechanical traps.
The dense array of magical traps in the passageway outside the underground hall were probably obstacles set up by this person to prevent others from entering.
