Chapter 51

Yue Fangxing pretended not to hear and stopped chatting with Qu Feiyang, continuing to open the broken dragon stone inside. Qu Feiyang stomped her feet but still helped him with the task.

This time was much more troublesome than last time. The space inside was narrow and inconvenient, making it difficult for Yue Fangxing to maneuver. Fortunately, with the previous experience, they didn't slow down much. The two of them opened another hole in the broken dragon stone and found no more obstacles inside.

At that moment, the two of them let out a long breath. Qu Feiyang exclaimed, "Big brother, we can finally go in!"

Yue Fangxing shook his head and said, "The air in this ancient tomb is too polluted, and it's already getting dark. Let's rest for now and go in tomorrow."

Looking at the sky, it was already approaching night. The two of them had been busy all day and were tired. They sat down to rest. Qu Feiyang took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Yue Fangxing. Yue Fangxing felt a bit uncomfortable but let her do it, knowing from experience that he would suffer if he didn't.

The next day, after breakfast, Yue Fangxing said, "You stay here and guard. I'll go in first."

Qu Feiyang, of course, refused and said, "I want to go in too."

"There might be traps in this ancient tomb, and it's dark and polluted. I'll go in first to check. You stay here to guard in case someone discovers us or blocks the entrance," Yue Fangxing said, assigning her a task since she refused.

Although Qu Feiyang was unwilling, she saw Yue Fangxing's firm attitude and reluctantly agreed.

Yue Fangxing, holding a torch in one hand and a heavy sword in the other, entered the ancient tomb. Although the tomb was no longer inhabited, it was uncertain if there were still traps inside. Fortunately, he remembered the ancient tomb map he had obtained in the stone room, or he wouldn't have dared to enter. Just the winding paths inside would have been enough to confuse him.

Following the path in his mind, Yue Fangxing made his way to the tomb chamber. Although he was cautious, he accidentally triggered a few traps. Although most of the traps were decayed and didn't fully activate, it still made him break out in a cold sweat. Thinking of the traps described in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," which helped Little Dragon Maiden's master capture one of the Five Greats, Ouyang Feng, even though Ouyang Feng was not at his peak, it showed the traps' formidable power. He wasn't sure if he could withstand them.

Yue Fangxing continued to explore the stone chambers, gradually reaching the depths of the tomb.

At the end was a stone door. Yue Fangxing pushed it open and saw five stone coffins, all tightly sealed. He knew they were already buried and didn't know who was inside. After a careful inspection, he found nothing. He knew the hidden stone chamber under the coffins had already been collapsed by him, so he didn't want to disturb the ancestors. He paid his respects to the ancestors and then retreated.

As Yue Fangxing walked to the entrance, he suddenly saw a white figure flit by, which greatly alarmed him: Could there be someone else inside? Or did the people in the coffins undergo the legendary transformation? Although such things were unlikely in a martial arts world, he had already experienced the impossible, so he naturally had some doubts.

Yue Fangxing's heart pounded as he quickly turned to look at the coffins.

Seeing that the five coffins were still tightly sealed, he let out a long breath, thinking he had overreacted. He was still in a pure martial arts world.

At that moment, Yue Fangxing felt something coming from behind, making his hair stand on end. He swung his heavy sword backward with his right hand.

In his shock, Yue Fangxing used all his strength, and the sword whistled out with great force.

At that moment, he heard a familiar "Ah!" and quickly retracted the power. But in the rush, he couldn't fully withdraw it, and the remaining force sent the person flying.

"Big... Big... Brother..."

Qu Feiyang's weak voice came, and he was surprised to find that the attacker was her!

It turned out that Qu Feiyang, seeing Yue Fangxing not return for a long time, got bored and cleaned up the entrance, using some branches and grass to disguise it, then entered the ancient tomb. Inside, it was dark and eerie, and she was extremely afraid, so she didn't dare to run around. She followed Yue Fangxing's footsteps. Her lightness skills had improved rapidly due to the reverse operation of the "Evil-Dispelling Sword Manual," and she quickly caught up with Yue Fangxing, who was too focused on exploring the path to notice.

When Yue Fangxing pushed open the stone door and entered the tomb chamber, Qu Feiyang, out of curiosity, quietly approached the entrance. Afraid that Yue Fangxing would notice, she didn't dare to enter. When Yue Fangxing came out, she quickly moved aside, which was the white figure Yue Fangxing saw. Then, seeing Yue Fangxing suddenly turn around, she had the idea to tease him and quietly approached, but was hit by Yue Fangxing's sword due to his suspicion.

Fortunately, Qu Feiyang's lightness skills had improved rapidly, and she immediately retreated upon hearing the whistling sound. Yue Fangxing's "Mixed Yuan Power" could be controlled at will, and he retracted most of the power upon recognizing the familiar sound. However, even the remaining force severely injured Qu Feiyang.

Yue Fangxing suddenly retracted the power, causing him to stagger back a few steps. He quickly rushed forward to support Qu Feiyang, seeing her severely injured, he was both worried and angry. He was worried about her injuries and angry at himself for being overly suspicious, causing her to be injured. He was also angry at Qu Feiyang for being reckless and whimsical. He knew she was joking, but jokes from martial arts experts were not to be taken lightly. Ordinary people might not react in time to a joke, and even if they did, the consequences wouldn't be serious. However, martial arts experts reacted quickly and with great force, and their instinctive counterattacks could be fatal. There were many such accidents in the martial arts world. He had reminded her before because of her playful nature, but she had ignored his warnings, and now she was injured by him.

Seeing her severe injuries, Yue Fangxing quickly used his power to heal her, stabilizing her internal injuries.

"Big brother... Am I going to die?" Qu Feiyang's voice was weak and soft.

Yue Fangxing said, "Don't think nonsense. I'm healing you now. Calm down and circulate your true energy."

Qu Feiyang, however, seemed not to hear, murmuring, "If it weren't for big brother blocking Fei Bin, I would have died. Then I would have gone with grandpa and wouldn't be alone now."

Hearing this, Yue Fangxing's hands paused. Seeing her tearful eyes, his heart ached. Thinking about it, the little girl was truly pitiful. Her parents had died early, and her grandfather was gone, leaving her alone with no relatives or friends. He wondered if saving her and letting her suffer alone was right. Thinking of this, he realized that his recent efforts to find a place for her were partly to get rid of her, which was too heartless to a lonely little girl!

Seeing her severe injuries, Yue Fangxing quickly used his power to heal her, stabilizing her internal injuries.
