From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 340 Yao Maiden Enters Ruins, Seeking Secret Treasures on a Perilous Journey

Wen Chen's farewell is still vivid in my mind; his hand, warm and strong, seems to still linger on my shoulder.

But when I turned around, I was all alone on this road leading to the secret treasures of the immortals.

Alas, in the end, the burden of protecting the immortal realm still falls on my shoulders alone, Xiao Yao!

The expectant gazes around me felt like mountains pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe.

I took a deep breath and told myself, "Xiao Yao, you can do it!"

This ancient site truly lives up to its name as "old"!

The moment I stepped inside, whoosh!

Countless sharp spikes shot towards me!

I'm such a good boy!

This thing, is it poisoned?!

Luckily, I reacted quickly and dodged it with a quick movement, but my sleeve was still torn with a ripping sound that made my heart ache.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure flashing by in the shadows. The sinister laughter was unmistakable; it was none other than the Black Demon!

Hmph, I'll remember you!

Before I could even react, rumble!

The ground beneath my feet cracked open! Oh my god!

If it fell, wouldn't it be smashed to pieces?!

I hurriedly activated my immortal magic to barely stabilize myself. Looking down, I was shocked to see that the crack was bottomless and pitch black, like a gaping abyss. It made my heart pound with fear!

In the distance, the fox-like face of the Wind Fairy flashed by. Ah, it seems she also wants a piece of the pie!

Suddenly, a strange poisonous fog spread out. I quickly covered my mouth and nose, but I still felt weak all over, and my vision began to blur.

Oh no, I'm probably going to die here this time... Just then, I seemed to see the figure of Hall Master Zhao sway in front of the treasure vault. He... seemed to have noticed something?

Before I could recover from the poisonous fog, a group of puppets appeared in front of me!

I'm a darling!

Are they trying to wear me down with a war of attrition?!

I brandished my sword, struggling to keep up, and inflicted many new wounds on my body.

Sweat mixed with blood flowed into my eyes, stinging and burning.

My heart started to race: This, this is way too difficult!

In the distance, Guard Lin seemed to have also noticed the commotion. He gripped his weapon tightly, looking wary.

No, we can't panic!

I forced myself to calm down and carefully observed the puppet's movements.

Hey, I actually discovered a pattern!

Although there were many of these puppets, their movements were somewhat stiff, and there were gaps between them.

I seized the opportunity, moved among the puppets, and then found the core that controlled them!

Haha, watch this!

I gathered all my strength and shattered the core with a single blow.

Phew...it's finally solved!

I breathed a sigh of relief, a feeling of relief and joy welled up inside me.

Elder Li, who was far away in the Immortal Sect, seemed to have sensed my success. I could almost see him nodding with satisfaction.

But before I could even celebrate for long, that guy Black Fiend showed up!

Without saying a word, he launched a fierce attack on me.

This guy's moves were ruthless and vicious, and I could only barely defend myself. For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere in the ruins, and the earth shook.

That Wind Fairy actually tried to sneak into the treasure vault during the chaos!

What a cunning guy!

Meanwhile, those far away in the Immortal Sect are watching me with worry...

I barely managed to block Black Fiend's attack, but I knew this was just the beginning; he definitely had even more powerful moves he hadn't yet used.

And me… “Black Demon, do you think this will stop me?” I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and stared at him coldly.
