Chapter 247 Zhuang Yu's Clever Plan Defeats the Enemy's Scheme
Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
The oppressive force pressed down like a mountain, disrupting the flow of spiritual energy within his body.
He forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, but a cynical smile appeared on his face, as if the old man in front of him was just an ordinary passerby.
The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became cautious.
The flames on the Shadow Demon's skull were completely extinguished, and the eerie aura subsided somewhat. He turned his gaze to the old man, his eyes filled with fear and apprehension. The eldest son of the family lowered his head, beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, and dared not meet the old man's gaze.
Only Zhuang Yu remained in the posture of breaking the restriction, the spiritual energy between his fingers shining even brighter, as if challenging that majesty.
The light from the barrier flickered even faster, each flash like a war drum beating rapidly and powerfully.
"How dare you..." The old man's aged voice rang out again, tinged with anger.
His gaze was piercing, as if he wanted to see through Zhuang Yu's heart.
However, Zhuang Yu seemed not to hear him and instead sped up the process of solving the puzzle.
His spiritual energy surged wildly, each strand precisely injected into the key points of the restriction.
The light from the barrier suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance, like a sun about to explode.
The Shadow Demon exclaimed in surprise, as if he had seen something unbelievable; the eldest son of the family stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief; even the guardian spirit of the old house showed a slight fluctuation in its originally calm eyes.
Zhuang Yu's actions were completely unexpected by everyone.
They had assumed that Zhuang Yu would stop immediately after the old man appeared, or even feel fear.
Who would have thought that he would be so bold as to not only not stop under the clan leader's pressure, but instead speed up!
Click!
A crisp cracking sound rang out, like an egg breaking.
The light of the barrier vanished instantly, replaced by a deep, dark passageway, from which faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanated.
Zhuang Yu's lips curled up slightly. He withdrew his fingers, stood up, and dusted off the corner of his clothes, as if he had just completed a trivial matter.
"Heh, it seems this treasure is destined for me." Zhuang Yu's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, broke the deathly silence.
He didn't even glance at the ashen-faced old man, and walked straight into the deep passage.
A glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he stretched out his withered palm and made a grabbing motion in the air.
An invisible, immense force instantly enveloped Zhuang Yu, as if it were about to crush him.
The old man made his move!
A sharp whistling sound filled the air, and visible energy fluctuations spread out like ripples.
Shadow Fiend and the eldest son of the family took a few steps back in unison, afraid of being caught in the aftermath of the battle.
However, at this critical moment, an even more powerful force suddenly erupted from Zhuang Yu's body.
This power was mysterious and unpredictable, carrying an ancient and weathered aura, instantly neutralizing the old man's attack.
Zhuang Yu's figure twisted slightly, as if he were in another space, and the old man's attack could not touch him at all.
"What?!" The old man's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that this seemingly unremarkable young man would possess such powerful strength.
Even he felt a sense of apprehension towards this power.
"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert?" Zhuang Yu sneered. He slowly stretched out his hand, and a powerful suction force emanated from his palm, drawing all the surrounding spiritual energy into his body.
Seeing this, the eldest son of the family was secretly delighted.
He thought he had lost his chance, but things took an unexpected turn for the better.
He secretly glanced at the Shadow Demon beside him. The treasure was within reach; how could he possibly give it away so easily?
The Shadow Demon naturally noticed the eldest son's unusual behavior; the flames within his skull flickered, and the chilling aura intensified.
He knew that the eldest son of the family was definitely also eyeing the secret treasure.
A new battle is about to begin.
Just then, Zhuang Yu's figure became clear again.
His aura grew even stronger, like a sharp sword about to be drawn, its edge fully revealed.
He took a step and instantly arrived at the entrance of the passage.
"I'm determined to get this treasure." Zhuang Yu's voice was cold and firm, carrying an undeniable air of dominance.
He glanced back at the old man, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Old man, you can't stop me." With that, he stepped into the passage without hesitation and vanished into the darkness.
The old man's face turned ashen; he never expected to be so thoroughly fooled by a young man.
Just as he was about to make another move, the eldest son of the family suddenly stood in front of him.
“Clan leader, please calm down.” The eldest son of the clan said respectfully, “This boy is cunning. Why don’t I go in and capture him and take back the treasure?”
The old man gave the eldest son of the family a deep look. “Go, and remember, the treasure must never fall into the hands of others.”
The passageway was not as smooth as one might imagine.
The deep passageway winds downwards, its walls carved with ancient runes that emit a faint glow, illuminating the path ahead.
With each step Zhuang Yu took, he could feel a strange energy fluctuation coming from beneath his feet, as if he were stepping on some kind of living thing.
At the same time, at the core of the barrier, the light flickered even more intensely, like breathing, brightening and dimming at an increasingly faster frequency.
Cracks spread across the surface of the barrier like a spider web, emitting a faint "crackling" sound, as if it could collapse at any moment.
A powerful energy surge emanated from the center of the barrier, impacting everything around it.
Zhuang Yu sensed the change in the restriction and a smile appeared on his lips.
"It seems this treasure is eager to see me." He quickened his pace and headed towards the core of the restriction.
Just then, the runes on both sides of the passage suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light.
A powerful force surged from the runes, transforming into beams of light that shot towards Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu was prepared; he dodged the beam of light with a swift movement.
The beam of light struck the wall with a deafening roar, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.
The guardian spirit of the old house has made its move!
Its massive body loomed at the end of the passage, letting out a deafening roar.
An invisible pressure emanated from it, enveloping the entire passage.
"Hmph, a mere trick!" Zhuang Yu sneered, showing no fear whatsoever.
He formed hand seals, and the spiritual power within his body surged wildly, transforming into golden runes that swirled around him.
"An eye for an eye!" Zhuang Yu shouted, throwing the rune in his hand at the guardian spirit of the old house.
The golden runes collided with the guardian spirit's attack, emitting a dazzling light.
A powerful shockwave spread out, shaking the surrounding buildings.
Shadow Fiend and the eldest son of the family had to hide.
Zhuang Yu's figure appeared and disappeared in the light, and his aura grew stronger and stronger, like an invincible war god.
He approached the guardian spirit of the old house step by step, each step filled with power.
"You are no match for me." Zhuang Yu's voice was cold and firm, carrying an undeniable domineering aura.
The guardian spirit of the old house let out an angry roar and launched another attack.
However, Zhuang Yu deflected its attacks time and time again, unable to harm it in the slightest.
"Overestimating yourself." Zhuang Yu sneered.
Just then, a crisp cracking sound came from the core of the barrier.
The barrier has finally been broken!
"The treasure is mine!" Zhuang Yu's voice was filled with excitement.
He took a step forward and walked towards the core of the restriction.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed from the depths of the passage.
"Wait!" a chilling voice rang out...
At the core of the barrier, a soft light slowly emanated, like the rising sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Within the light, something could be vaguely seen, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.
Zhuang Yu's heart pounded wildly. He could sense the aura of the secret treasure, an ancient and mysterious power that seemed to be calling to him.
He reached out, his hand trembling as he tried to touch the light, his excitement barely contained.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the light, two powerful auras suddenly appeared, one on the left and one on the right, locking onto him.
"Boy, the treasure is mine!" The eldest son of the family roared, and the long sword in his hand turned into a streak of light, piercing straight for Zhuang Yu's back.
The sharp sword energy sliced through the air, emitting a piercing whistling sound, carrying an intense killing intent.
At the same time, Shadow Fiend also made a move.
The flames within his skull suddenly surged, transforming into a black pillar of fire that swept towards Zhuang Yu.
A chilling aura spread out, as if to freeze everything around it.
Warning bells rang in Zhuang Yu's mind, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
He turned around abruptly, unleashing both palms simultaneously, two golden palm prints meeting the attack.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the golden palm print collided with the sword energy and the pillar of fire, bursting out with dazzling light.
The powerful shockwave spread outwards, shattering the surrounding walls.
Zhuang Yu grunted and retreated rapidly. His expression was grave.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?" Zhuang Yu sneered. "You all underestimate me far too much!"
The eldest son of the family and the Shadow Demon exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
They hadn't expected that Zhuang Yu would be able to withstand their combined attack.
"Hmph, even if you have some skill, you won't leave here alive today!" The eldest son of the family sneered and attacked again with his sword.
The Shadow Demon followed closely behind, its black flames transforming into a giant skull that lunged at Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath
"Then let's go!" Zhuang Yu shouted, his spiritual power surging wildly, transforming into a golden pillar of light that shot into the sky.
"It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious!"
