Chapter 80 How dare these mere ants act so presumptuously?
Then the Taoist priest took a step forward, his withered fingers reaching out towards a young technician.
"Are you fucking never going to stop?!"
A ferocious expression appeared on Zhao Qiming's face.
He stepped in front of the technician and drew his gun!
Click!
Zhao Qiming then realized that the magazine of his gun was empty.
There was no response after the trigger was pulled!
"Damn it, why did something go wrong at this time?"
"Heh! A bunch of mortal ants dare to act so arrogantly..."
It seems the development of magical artifacts in this era is quite good, giving you a lot of confidence?
The Taoist priest sneered and said disdainfully.
"..."
at this time,
A melodious, ethereal sound suddenly echoed throughout the entire tomb.
The voice was ethereal and elusive.
It seemed to come from a very distant and deep place, passing through layers of soil and stone walls.
Passing through the barrier activated by the True Immortal,
It lingered directly in everyone's ears.
Vast and boundless,
It felt like it came from a distant shore, yet it also felt like it was right next to my ear!
"How dare you, a mere ant, act so presumptuously here?"
The Taoist priest suddenly stopped what he was doing.
The dark red light in his eye sockets flickered a few times.
The withered head turned back and forth.
Examining the walls and dome surrounding the tomb chamber,
Trying to find the source of the sound,
But he couldn't find it!
The sound seemed to come from all directions at the same time.
He lived for over a hundred years.
I've met many so-called magicians and masters.
But this kind of transmission of true essence across thousands of miles...
He had only read about it in the ancient fragments of the scriptures in the Qiyun Mountain Library...
That's a technique only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above possess!
"Who?" For the first time, a hint of uncertainty crept into the voice of the Taoist priest.
He even seemed a little scared.
"come out!"
When these words were shouted out,
He himself wasn't very confident.
Zhao Qiming's legs loosened.
Although I don't know what happened,
But noticing the change in Zhen Laodao, he too became fearful.
Zhao Qiming himself relaxed a little.
Even a faint discovery was made.
My legs went limp.
sough!
The tomb's dome,
A very thin golden ray of light appeared.
The light filaments rotated at the very center of the dome, spinning faster and faster, growing larger and larger with each rotation.
In a blink of an eye,
It transformed into a golden halo three feet in diameter!
Within the halo, a hazy human figure could be vaguely seen, sitting cross-legged.
A layer of extremely bright golden true essence flowed across his body.
His face was obscured by the halo of light and could not be clearly seen.
But that terrifying aura pressed down relentlessly in all directions!
The true essence pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage was released without reservation.
The barrier set up by the Taoist priest encountered the golden light at the same time.
The windows were made entirely of paper.
Several large holes were silently created!
The Taoist priest retreated several steps.
His back hit the edge of the stone coffin, and he almost fell over.
He instinctively formed a defensive hand seal.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
The Taoist priest could indeed sense it.
The opponent's cultivation level is far above his own!
At least, they've reached a whole new level compared to me.
He has just been reborn.
Moreover, this is the first time he has been reborn through corpse dissection.
His cultivation level has only recovered to less than 30%!
Even if one absorbed the life essence of an ordinary person, they would only recover a tiny fraction of their original health.
To confront a Foundation Establishment cultivator head-on in the current state is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock!
A senior-level expert is terrifying!
"Senior, who are you? I am indeed a Taoist from Qiyun Mountain. My actions just now were out of self-defense, not indiscriminate killing."
The Taoist priest adopted an extremely humble posture and softened his tone considerably.
The figure in the golden light did not answer.
Just extend one hand,
A sharp golden sword aura shot out.
puff!
The Taoist priest was so startled that he almost knelt down on the spot.
But then I realized,
That sword energy didn't hit the Taoist himself!
Instead, the sword energy struck a stone slab at his feet, silently piercing through it.
It left behind a bottomless pinhole.
The walls of the hole were as smooth as a mirror, and the stone slab did not crack.
What a clean piercing!
The Taoist priest looked at the needle hole at his feet, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
If that sword had struck his head, his newly reborn body would probably have been ruined...
"I have offended you, junior."
He actually retreated to the other side of the stone coffin, no longer blocking the way for the members of the Internal Affairs Department.
"Since these people are the ones you want to protect, I naturally won't make things difficult for them."
At the entrance to the passageway, Zhao Qiming could see everything clearly.
Over this long period of time, he has seen quite a bit of the world.
For example, I've seen those dark red stones in the circular space of Cangshi County.
But the scene before him still evoked a sense of indescribable absurdity in him.
The figure in the golden light barely uttered a single word from beginning to end.
In a single encounter, they completely stunned the True Taoist they had been fighting so hard against!
Who exactly is this person?
He took a step forward.
To see the faces clearly in the golden light,
But the golden halo was completely obscured, and only a tall human figure could be seen.
He quickly realized that the figure in front of him had indeed saved his life.
If it weren't for this current variable, he probably would have already had his heart ripped out by the old Taoist priest.
"Thank you for your help, senior."
Zhao Qiming suppressed his fear and bowed towards the dome.
I don't know if this etiquette is proper or not, but at least it conveys the meaning!
The figure in the golden light did not answer, but slightly tilted its head.
It seemed like they were sizing him up.
Zhou Ling got up from the entrance of the passageway, walked to Zhao Qiming's side, and then whispered a short sentence to Zhao Qiming:
"Since he intervened to save people, he is at least not an enemy for now... But if there is a chance to find out his identity, we must investigate."
If someone of this caliber were to one day turn their back on us, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhao Qiming: "..."
Zhao Qiming had countless complaints he wanted to vent.
Not that I'm the eldest sister, but that's the logic.
But could you please not say it so blatantly?!
Do you think that such a being doesn't have any means to hear us speak?
Zhou Ling quickly realized her mistake and shut up obediently.
Zhao Qiming rubbed his forehead, utterly speechless.
Zhou Ling is actually quite intelligent, but it's the kind of academic intelligence that's detached from reality.
Previously, as Professor Sun's deputy, I was able to fully utilize my abilities, but it was difficult for me to act as a leader or representative.
Unfortunately, Professor Sun strongly recommended him, so Zhao Qiming had no choice.
Zhao Qiming quickly noticed the gaze of the powerful being above him; clearly, he had already heard it.
Having no other choice, he could only bite the bullet and answer, saying in a half-joking tone:
"Haha, my phone's dead. Why don't you take a picture of me on the spot?"
"good!"
Zhou Ling's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached for her phone in her pocket.
But in the end, he couldn't lift it.
Because… Zhao Qiming directly pinned him down.
Since the other party doesn't want to show their face, forcing them to take a picture might anger them.
Moreover, that halo was too bright; even if you tried to take a picture, you could only capture a blurry golden light.
