Chapter 120: The Old Ape!
In the silence of the tomb chamber, Bai Hongtu’s voice, though not loud, still reached everyone’s ears. Just moments ago, everyone’s attention had been drawn to the massive bronze coffin, and in that distraction, no one had noticed the presence of an extra person.
Now, everyone quickly raised their torches and began shining them around at those nearby, trying to figure out who exactly was the extra one. With that, all footsteps came to a halt.
But in such a rush, no one could tell who didn’t belong, and that was deeply unsettling.
These people were all cultivators from the martial and Daoist worlds, and most of them were already familiar with each other, especially the monks and Daoists gathered for this exorcism mission.
In a group like this, any unfamiliar face should have stood out immediately. Yet now, no one could identify who the intruder was.
Just then, Daoist Master Yuanyi’s eyes turned icy cold. He pulled a talisman from his robe and shouted sharply, “By command, reveal yourself!”
The talisman burst into flames, and suddenly, everyone’s vision seemed to clear.
Whoosh!
A black shadow shot up from within the crowd, leaping into the air in an instant. The Daoist who had used the coin-sword earlier instantly reacted and stabbed upward, thereafter a streak of golden sword-light burst forth.
But the shadowy figure merely swatted it aside, blocking the sword light with a single palm. The coin-sword, a commonly used Daoist artifact, was known for its power to repel evil and suppress spirits. The Daoist had reacted quickly, striking without hesitation.
That sword light should have heavily wounded any malicious spirit, but to their shock, it was blocked effortlessly by the black shadow’s hand.
“You’re not getting away!” Li Yanchu let out a thunderous roar, and his voice cracked like thunder in a clear sky.
