Chapter 842: Opening of the Tomb (4)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The main reason is that our world has never given birth to a peak ultimate fighter who can face them head on. The strongest one we have is only an ultimate fighter. On the other hand, there are countless peak ultimate fighter in the foreign world…”

” That’s impossible.” She shook her head and sighed.” That’s still too far away from you and me. To me, becoming an ultimate fighter is my ultimate goal…” Ke ke, Xu Chang Qing, your ambition is really small. You don’t even dare to dream of reaching the peak or beyond…”

At this moment, a discordant voice sounded. Empress Zhou and the others had appeared beside the two of them at some point in time.

Zhao Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He didn’t even need to turn around to know that itwasXiuYan.

” Who exactly are you?!” As expected, the woman named Xiu Yan glared at Zhao Yu and asked for his name the moment she appeared.

Zhao Yu could not be bothered to pretend anymore. He pulled off the black cloth on his face and said seriously,” I don’t change my name. I’m the strongest person in this batch of student in Moon City. I’m Xu Chang Qing’s best friend. I’m Wu Fan from the number one sequence in Wu family of Moon City!” Xu Chang Qing was instantly stunned. She did not expect Zhao Yu to register such a name. The corners of her mouth could not help but twitch.

“WuFan…”

However, Xiu Yan did not suspect anything. “Very good. I’ll remember your name.”

The corners of her lips curled up as she said, “You’re very bold. You actually dare to reveal your own family…”

“Since this is the case, I can tell you that I will not put pressure on your family This is a matter between you and me. I will personally seek revenge from you for holding me hostage…”

Zhao Yu cupped his hands in respect.” You are indeed a chivalrous woman of your generation. You do things openly and honestly. I admire you. In that case, I will wait for you. Let’s have a fair battle!”

“Good!”

Xiu Yan felt something strange growing in her heart. She couldn’t help but cheer.

I’m telling you all, Wu Fan is my opponent. You’re not allowed to interfere, and you’re not allowed to tell my family. This is a grudge between me and him. I’ll get it back on my own!”

The others were also shocked. After all, a country bumpkin had managed to subdue Xiu Yan, who was at the third stage of the True Qi Realm.

Now, he directly revealed his family’s name, demonstrating true boldness. He was a true hero.

As for his initial masked appearance, it was automatically romanticized by everyone as an act to avoid implicating his family.

“In this light, Wu Fan truly is a man of sentiment and loyalty, a valiant and righteous hero!”

Empress Zhou’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

Xu Chang Qing was about to say something when she suddenly realized Empress Zhou’s gaze was directed at Zhao Yu, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.           &

Thinking it over, she decided not to say anything after all. Since it was Zhao Yu who had his attention, what did it have to do with her?!

Seeing that the conflict showed no signs of escalation, Zhao Yu also felt relieved.

He thought to himself, these few pampered scions across from him didn’t seem that bad after all, as they hadn’t used their family influence to oppress others. But on further reflection, it made sense.

Considering their family backgrounds, it was remarkable that Xu Chang Qing, a person with no connections, had managed to live unharmed for three years despite their feud, which spoke volumes about the situation.

This might also be one of the reasons Xu Chang Qing had chosen to approach Empress Zhou and her group.

She knew that offending these people wouldn’t provoke those fourth-tier elders.

Just as Zhao Yu was about to say a few polite words to maintain the peace he suddenly felt a burning sensation.

Looking up, he saw a person in mid-air staring at him with a strange expression.

A peak fourth-tier expert?

An ultimate fighter!

He quickly realized that only the strongest of the fourth-tier could still stand aloft.

With just one look, Zhao Yu felt a chilling fear, as if death could come in the next second. He hurriedly averted his gaze, not daring to continue the stare.

But that one glance was enough for him to recognize the person. Although he hadn’t seen many of the ultimate fighters in Qian City, this person bore a strong resemblance to Xiu Yan.

Clearly, this was the legendary Marquis Wen Yuan, Xiu Yan’s father, a top-tier ultimate fighter.

Fortunately, the burning sensation soon disappeared. Zhao Yu understood that Marquis Wen Yuan didn’t care much about what was happening between them.

This realization made him breathe a sigh of relief. If Marquis Wen Yuan had taken it seriously, he might have died right here.

No one present, except for those of equal power, could withstand an attack from Marquis Wen Yuan.

“With the Void Symbol Art and Defense Symbol Art, can I escape?!”

Zhao Yu asked himself silently, but found no answer.

He didn’t dare gamble. In matters like this, a wrong bet could cost him his life.

“Let’s begin. The sooner we open the tomb, the sooner we can explore the..”

A voice said indifferently from mid-air.

The others had no intention of making small talk. They each moved to a certain distance apart and then unleashed their attacks, bombarding the giant pit with a frenzy.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Blasts capable of instantly killing any fourth-tier fighter erupted.

The fierce assault triggered a high-level counterattack from the formation.

“Not good!”

“Run!!”

Those who had experienced this before knew better than to linger. They all moved swiftly, fleeing to a safer distance as the counterattack this time was more larger in scale.

Not only did the third-tier group retreat, but even some of the fourth-tier group at the edge of the pit couldn’t withstand it and began to pull back.

What surprised Zhao Yu was that although these people could fly, they were all floating close to the ground instead of high in the air.

“They must be showing respect to the Marquises, not daring to fly too high…” Xu Chang Qing whispered, “The Marquises are top-tier fighters, almost immortal compare to us, and some of them have strange tempers…” “There was once a Marquis who killed a fourth-tier fighter for flying higher than him under the pretext of disrespect…”

“In short, when facing these top-tier fighters, be extremely careful, speak and

act less, and stay as far away as possible…”

Some of these were things he had read in books, but others were tips from Xu Tian.

After all, Xu Tian had been at the fourth tier for a long time and knew many secrets. With Xu Chang Qing returning to Qian City, he naturally gave her plenty of advice.

“Boom—!”

Another earth-shattering explosion.

This time, brilliant light erupted everywhere.

“Magical artifacts!”

“Quick, get them!”

In the center of the huge pit, countless magical artifacts shot out in all directions.

Everyone went mad, fighting over the scattered artifacts in a chaotic melee.

Fortunately, the positions were relatively spread out, and there was a safe distance between the apex tomb.

Whether for ordinary fourth-tier or those at the third tier level, it was a good environment.

As the dust settled, Zhao Yu had obtained four magical artifacts, each with special uses.

Xu Chang Qing had even more, a total of five.

She excitedly held the artifacts, “Zhao Yu, can these artifacts be stored in your storage bag for now?!”

“Sure!”

Zhao Yu smiled and placed Xu Chang Qing’s artifacts into his storage space.

Not only them, but everyone who survived had gained something.

Some had one or two artifacts, while others like Xu Chang Qing had four or five.

Just as everyone thought there might be a few more rounds of such good fortune…

“Boom–!”

The ground suddenly trembled.

As the crowd steadied themselves, the blind man exclaimed with joy, “It’s open! The apex tomb has opened, the array formation has been broken!”

Without another word, he dashed towards the huge pit.

Everyone else was momentarily stunned, then burst into ecstatic shouts and rushed towards it.

Zhao Yu glanced at Xu Chang Qing, “Shall we go too?!”

“Of course, we can’t miss such an event!”
