Chapter 79 The Deep Bishops
"BOOM!!!"
The vibrations and loud noises continued unabated.
Lu Mingfei looked up at the ceiling. He could hear something moving inside.
He now has two choices: either use the flying sword or wait and see what effect the change in the mechanism will have.
He frowned, immediately sensing the negative effects of not having the power of words.
If he also possessed a spirit power like Sword Control, he would definitely be able to use flying swords without restraint.
Instead of worrying like we do now about what to do if it flies out, gets stuck in the ceiling, and we can't get it back.
But they have people here with the ability to cause widespread destruction—
Chu Zihang stared at the ceiling and began chanting the dragon script.
Then Lu Mingfei stopped him.
It wasn't because he was the kind of person who was very principled and insisted on watching the enemy complete their transformation.
It wasn't because he was an exceptionally cautious person who worried that the explosion of Junyan's napalm bomb would cause the tomb to collapse.
It was because he saw something bad.
"Don't use Junyan, it's made of mercury."
Yes, Lu Mingfei possesses the ability to see far and wide, a trait common to people from all three kingdoms.
He keenly observed that the fluid flowing in the cavity above was entirely mercury; if a single burst of divine flame were to be unleashed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Putting aside the fact that they died, that's a minor matter. You have to understand, this is a tourist area; what if the mercury vapor evaporates up the ground...?
So Chu Zihang gave up, and Su Qian silently moved toward the two people.
Unlike others, she had seen Lu Mingfei's solemn expression, but only for a short while.
That was when he realized that Bronze City was self-destructing, and then he broke through with her.
That look, that aura, is something a young man not even twenty years old should not possess.
But Lu Mingfei's current solemn expression makes it hard to imagine what the situation is like.
The mercury gathered in the cavity into huge droplets, until they looked big enough to hold a person, and then the mercury began to drip.
However, the others were not as cautious as Lu Mingfei. When they saw something falling from the ceiling, they immediately began chanting the Dragon Inscription without hesitation.
Lu Mingfei sensed a spiritual activation unique to the power of words, which was followed by a large amount of wind, a violent wind, that held up the falling mercury.
Then a muffled thunderous sound came, and Lu Mingfei frowned. He immediately took off his coat and flicked it away.
The black denim jacket fluttering in the air caught all the mercury droplets flying towards them, and Lu Mingfei glared at the duo.
The massive airflow and the gas explosion were both caused by them, and their target was very clear—they were aimed directly at the three masked men.
The coat, soaked with mercury, landed with a soft thud, and Lu Mingfei looked over there.
The guy who looked like a techie had already joined forces with the duo, standing up to them.
"What, does this person come with ill intentions?"
He spoke coldly, his tone causing Chu Zihang to turn and glance at him.
In his memory, Lu Mingfei had never said anything like that before.
In his eyes, Lu Mingfei was always joking around and seemed unreliable.
If he didn't possess such immense power, he wouldn't have believed that Lu Mingfei was a person with the same bloodline as him.
"Brothers, let's not talk about who's who. We're all in the same business, and we all know what we're thinking."
The older member of the duo spoke up.
"Besides, the three of you against the three of us—"
"Click."
His words were interrupted by the sound of machinery operating.
But that was just the beginning.
The cracking sounds continued as the mercury seeped into the ground, causing the patterns on the surface to shift and change.
The stone slabs were misaligned, sank, and then reassembled.
Mercury fused with it, forming humanoid silhouettes on the ground.
"woc".
Someone realized something was wrong and cursed under their breath.
And so, as if awakened by that sound, they wriggled and stood up from the ground.
They come in all shapes and sizes, from three meters to the height of a person.
The joints of the limbs are simple and crude, without any decoration. Mercury keeps falling to the ground from the joints and then being drawn back into the body.
Now, they are moving towards the crowd.
Hmm, that's great. Actually, they came to invite them to have a meal in the tomb of the tomb's owner. Does anyone believe that?
"Bang!"
A loud explosion tore a mercury soldier's body to pieces; apparently, some people didn't believe it.
Lu Mingfei drew his twin swords, Chu Zihang drew his long saber, and Su Qian took out a pair of double-edged swords, which looked very similar in design to the swords Lu Mingfei had used earlier.
Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes; the hilt of one of the swords looked like the hilt of the sword he had lost from the Sword of Benevolence.
However, with battle imminent, there was no time to worry about anything else.
The three of them simply swung their swords and attacked, since setting fires would only lead to their quicker demise.
The only remaining Word of Power is Sword Control, which isn't exactly a wide-range attack.
At first, things were fine, although they were a bit more relaxed than the other side who were constantly releasing their Word of Power.
But that only means maintaining a state where you won't get hurt.
None of the three planned to use Bloodlust, since they could still manage.
But the current situation does not look optimistic, because the ceiling is still shaking.
Mercury poured down like rain, the silver liquid beginning to change in mid-air, and upon landing, it created even more mercury soldiers.
It was no longer as simple as before, but rather they began to wear armor.
So, in just a moment, Chu Zihang and Su Xi's kill speed began to slow down.
Compared to the previous method of slicing melons and vegetables with a single stroke, it now takes two to three strokes to kill a mercury soldier, yet the mercury on the ceiling continues to pour down.
Lu Mingfei frowned.
From the moment the armored mercury soldiers appeared, the voices of the three people opposite them gradually diminished until they disappeared completely.
If their fate is unknown, then they are dead.
As for him, he still does things as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
He was even confident that with the Heaven-Hating Sword in hand, even if the Mercury Soldiers were ten times more numerous than the current heroes, he could easily break through this place.
After all, you don't have to worry about the sword breaking, which is really convenient.
But Chu Zihang and Su Xi might get injured.
The mercury was still being poured out, and the mercury soldiers had generally reached a height of three and a half meters, with the armor coverage rate increasing.
Junyan can't be released because of the Mercury Soldiers. Seriously, how can someone go diving without a gas mask?
Lu Mingfei swept the soldier in front of him down with a single blow, and then his longsword flew out of his hand.
Like erasing words with an eraser, the flying sword cleared a straight vacuum zone on the field.
Susie looked at the longsword nailed to the wall beside her, and at Lu Mingfei, who left only a fleeting afterimage. Her voice seemed to be torn apart by the sound of the wind.
"Thanks."
The afterimage flashed again, cutting down the mercury soldiers that surged forward once more, as if mowing grass.
After turning back, Lu Mingfei charged towards the big-headed doll in Susie's eyes, leaving three words in the wind.
"You're welcome."
