Chapter 24 Ch 24: Strange Wall
If there was any other person in the place of Ye Xiao, they all would have turned into dust till now. Even if it is an expert of Origin Core Realm, they would not be a match for these stone statues.
After all, first, the strength of these stone statues was comparable to a Second or Third Stage of the Origin Core Realm martial artist. And second, with so many stone statues, even if there was a Ninth Stage of Origin Core Realm martial artist, they would not have been a match for these stone statues.
There were hundreds of these stone statues present and the main thing was that, even if they were attacked, they did not feel any pain.
So, Ye Xiao with his dragon's wings was the only one here who could safely escape from these stone statues.
"What a beautiful pair of wings"
When Zhao Yufei saw the wings on the back of Ye Xiao, she could not help but praise the beauty of the wings.
"It must be a flying martial arts skill, after all, only an expert of Martial King Realm can fly in the air and it is even without forming any wings behind their back. Only flying martial arts could be said to form wings behind their back and use them to fly in the sky."
"But all the flying martial arts skills are very precious. How exactly Ye Xiao got his hands on this flying martial arts skill. Looking at those wings and its speed, it must be at least a High-Grade Earth Rank flying martial skill."
"Even in my Heaven Sword Sect, there is only two flying martial skills, and the highest grade of those flying martial skill is High-Grade Profound Rank."
"He is more than what he looks on the surface."
Zhao Yufei mumbled in a very low voice as if she was talking with herself. Then she came out from behind the pillar and run toward the iron door.
When Ye Xiao saw that she had reached the iron door, he threw the key of the door towards Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei caught the key and inserted it in the hole of the iron door.
When the key was inserted inside the iron door's small hole, suddenly, all the patterns carved on the iron door lit up and the door opened with a cracking sound.
The moment Ye Xiao threw the key to Zhao Yufei, all the stone statues rushed toward Zhao Yufei to snatch back the key from her. Ye Xiao flew in full speed and returned to the door. He hurriedly held the hand of Zhao Yufei and entered the iron door.
When both of them entered, the iron door closed itself with lightning speed. All the stone statues were left behind the door.
.....
Sigh!
Both of them heaved a sigh of relief and looked at each other then smiled and raised their heads to look in front of them.
Both of them widened their eyes the moment they saw what was in front of them.
"These are?"
"Spirit stones! These are low-grade spirit stones and there are actually thousands of them. There are also ten middle-grade spirit stones." Zhao Yufei opened her eyes wide and looked at the pile of spirit stones placed at the corner of the room. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
"There are also five low-grade spirit weapons, two middle-grade spirit weapons, and a high-grade spirit weapon." Ye Xiao pointed at the other corner of the room and then said, "Miss Zhao, I will take those two middle-grade spirit swords and ten middle-grade spirit stones here. Everything else belongs to you. How about it?"
"This, ok... but, why don't you take that high-grade spirit weapon? And there are also those thousands of low-grade spirit stones." Zhao Yufei was puzzled when she saw Ye Xiao chose to take only a few things.
Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Miss Zhao, it is not that I don't want to take the high-grade spirit weapon, it is just that this high-grade spirit weapon is a spear and I like to use sword the most. These two middle-grade spirit weapons are swords so, I will take them."
"As for thousands of low-grade spirit stones, I don't need them. You can take them, I will only take these ten middle-grade spirit stones. Even though there are only ten of them, they are still equivalent to hundred low-grade spirit stones."
Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Zhao Yufei nodded her head, "Then I won't be courteous. I'll take things here except for the things you chose."
Zhao Yufei waved her hand and all the items left behind vanished.
"Spatial Ring" Ye Xiao was surprised. He never thought that Zhao Yufei would have a spatial ring in her possession.
"She definitely is not simple. Her status in the Heaven Sword Sect must be very high."
After taking all the things in the room they looked around to check if there is anything else they missed.
"I think there is something strange about that wall" Zhao Yufei pointed to her left at a wall.
Ye Xiao looked at the wall and frowned. This wall was really different from other walls. It was made up of some rare materials and it looked as if it was protecting something.
"I think we should try to break this wall," Ye Xiao said.
Zhao Yufei nodded her head and launched a terrifying attack on the wall. Ye Xiao did not take part in this and stood far away. Zhao Yufei was an expert of Origin Core Realm and he was just at the Second Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. He could not help much.
"BOOM!!"
A loud sound came out and a figure was sent flying. That figure was Zhao Yufei. When she attacked the wall to break it, the wall did not break instead, she sent flying from a rebound force from the wall.
"There is a barrier protecting the wall." Zhao Yufei said. Blood was flowing out from the corner of her mouth.
"I didn't think there was a barrier protecting the wall. What should we do now." Zhao Yufei cleaned the blood from the corner of her mouth and asked while looking at Ye Xiao.
"If there is a barrier here, then there is bound to be something that is providing energy to strengthen the barrier." Ye Xiao said and started looking everywhere, searching for something.
