Chapter 232: Opponent
"Thump... Thump... Thump..."Shi Feng could clearly sense that the heartbeat-like sound was emanating from the stone statue suspended above the plaza.
"Could it be that this stone statue is still alive?" Shi Feng muttered softly as he gazed at the statue.
"In my opinion," Sacred Flame said, "this person must have battled fiercely with a warrior of the Blood Pattern Tribe, was defeated in the end, and as they neared death, they sealed their own breath with a secret technique to preserve their life." After a pause, Sacred Flame added, "The stone statues below are the ones who are truly dead. I estimate they used their own vitality to nourish the person above."
"Mm." After hearing Sacred Flame’s words, Shi Feng nodded. Hearing the heartbeat and feeling the Sacred Sword Fragment at his chest, Shi Feng’s thoughts were similar to Sacred Flame’s.
"Ding ding!" Shi Feng flicked the Bloodthirsty Sword with his finger to calm down its connection with the Sacred Sword Fragment, fearing that disturbing the person might awaken them.
The consequences would be unimaginable if he disturbed someone capable of fighting the Blood Pattern Tribe.
"Young man, take a closer look above that stone statue," Sacred Flame spoke again at that moment.
Hearing Sacred Flame’s words, Shi Feng shifted his gaze upward from the statue. He suddenly noticed a red phantom flitting in and out of visibility above, like a cloud of red smoke, ethereal and elusive. If it weren’t for Sacred Flame’s reminder, he might not have noticed the vague outline resembling blood-colored battle armor.
"Battle Armor!" Shi Feng murmured. The armor appearing above this person’s head in such a place was certainly no ordinary item.
"Patter... Patter..." Just then, amidst the echoing heartbeat in the plaza, a series of light footsteps suddenly rang out unevenly. Hearing these footsteps, Shi Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, and his body slowly levitated as his gaze swept past rows of stone statues and looked ahead.
Almost immediately, Shi Feng saw a young man in his twenties, wearing a moon-white robe, walking leisurely out of a cave entrance ahead. It was only then that Shi Feng realized that besides the cave he had entered from, there was a cave in each of the four directions; it seemed there were more than one path leading to this spot.
The white-robed young man stopped his steps as he stepped into the plaza and slowly lifted his head. His gaze swept across the plaza and soon landed on Shi Feng, who was suspended in the void on the opposite side. However, upon seeing Shi Feng, he remained completely indifferent, not taking him seriously; after all, the other party was merely a martial artist at the Five-star Martial King Realm. His eyes shifted, and he casually took note of the stone statue floating above the center of the plaza.
Four-star Martial Sect Master Realm!
her Body Technique, he dodged the incoming lightning beam and quickly flashed in front of the statue. The Bloodthirsty Sword stabbed towards the hexagonal Sacred Sword Fragment embedded in the chest of the stone statue.
