Chapter 10: Xuanjie's Initial Sword Equipment

  At the same time, Hai Wuya and others who entered from the front entrance of the cave did not know that Hai Tian and others had also entered the cave through another secret entrance. They had already arrived at the second layer of restrictions that had previously troubled the Sa Lu family.

  Looking at the semi-transparent membrane that appeared and disappeared in front of them, Hai Wuya and his group all furrowed their brows.

  "Everyone, you've all seen it now. This is the thin membrane that's been blocking our entry. Not only does it have a powerful defense mechanism, but it also has an extremely strong rebounding ability. That's why even the masters of the Salu family were injured. When we attack later, everyone must be careful about its rebounding force."

  "Hmph! This level of difficulty requires everyone to attack together? Watch me break through this mechanism alone!" The white-robed old man from the Li family suddenly stood out and let out a cold snort, his face filled with disdain.

  This made Saru's tribe leader feel embarrassed, and he forced himself to say: "Senior, this mechanism isn't that easy to destroy. I think it would be better if we all work together to attack it, so it will be a bit more stable."

  "That's the gap between you and me, one Star Sword King is equal to ten 9-star Great Swordsmen, let alone you are not even a 9-star Great Swordsman. If I couldn't break it, do you think you can break it together?" The white-robed old man glanced at the Salu tribe leader with disdain, not giving him any face.

  As soon as these words came out, not only the leader of the Salu tribe and his men, but also Hai Wuya's face turned extremely ugly. Isn't this clearly saying that they are useless?

  Li family head was also a shrewd person, and soon saw that the white-clothed old man's words had already offended the masters of the other two families. He immediately came out with a smile to mediate: "Sarlu tribe leader, please don't misunderstand, Taishang elder speaks directly like this. But his words are not wrong either, if even he can't break it, then even if others work together, it would be useless, right?"

  Everyone was furious in their hearts, and they had an agreement before taking action. This time, whoever made the most effort would have priority. If that white-clothed old man broke through the membrane alone, then the Li family would undoubtedly be the first to succeed.

  The Hai and Sa families all lowered their heads in silence, even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it at this moment. After all, that white-clothed old man was a Sword King-level expert, as long as he wanted to, he could absolutely kill everyone present.

  "Since you have no opinion, I'll begin." Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, the white-robed old man chuckled and walked forward, holding a yellow-tier mid-grade long sword in his hand, with milky-white sword energy surging quietly.

  "Drink!" The white-robed old man let out a low shout, and in an instant a dazzling white light ball flew out.

  That semi-transparent membrane also lit up in an instant, and the entire cave was shaking non-stop. The intense rumbling sound reverberated around everyone's ears.

  Everyone present stared at the semi-transparent membrane with wide eyes, especially Li Jiazu, who took this opportunity to show off to the other two major families.

  But the semi-transparent membrane, after flickering for a moment, did not dim down, and the milky white light group that the old man in white attacked on the membrane actually bounced back.

  In an instant, the white-robed old man saw that something was amiss and immediately dodged to the side. A loud rumbling sound erupted, and a milky white light ring suddenly slammed into the stone wall behind him, smashing out a large pit and sending countless rocks tumbling down.

  The One-Star Sword King's full-power strike couldn't even break through this thin membrane!

  The expressions on everyone's faces were quite colorful, especially the masters of the Hai and Sa families, who couldn't help but sneak a smile.

  The Li family, however, was left with cold hands and feet. The most powerful expert in their family couldn't even break through this thin membrane. Doesn't that mean they won't be able to get the treasure inside the cave?

  That white-robed old man was also staring blankly at the gradually dimming membrane, he seemed to be unable to understand how his full-strength blow could not cause any damage to the membrane. But the fact was in front of him, and this was something he couldn't deny.

  Just as the masters of the three major families were struggling with the second layer of membrane, Hai Tian and others had carefully crossed the stone bridge that was only two feet wide and came to the stone room.

  After passing by, even Hai Tian, who had the strongest psychological quality, let out a sigh of relief: "Ah!"

  "Brother Tian, this place is really terrifying. Luckily you guided us, if we had wandered around randomly, we might have ended up dead in a terrible way." Xiaoyu looked like he still had lingering fears, and finally experienced the terror of this cave.

  Actually, Hai Tian is no exception either. The restrictions set up in this cave are already beyond what a Sword Emperor or Sword Sect expert can handle. If he didn't have some past experience, he would probably die here too.

  "Look quickly, there is a sword here!" Li Tianxiang's voice suddenly rang out.

  "Sword!" The eyes of the three people, Hai Tian, lit up and they quickly ran to Li Tian Xiang's side. As expected, on the wall of the stone room, a grey long sword was hanging horizontally, its grade didn't seem low either, but it was covered in a layer of dust, making it impossible to see its true appearance.

  "It's indeed a sword, this is mine." Haiyun eagerly stretched out his hand to take it, but before he could even touch the sword, a scorching red light suddenly flashed out from it.

  "Ah!" A shrill cry of despair escaped from Haiyun's mouth, and Haitian furrowed his brow, lifting his leg to deliver a swift kick that sent Haiyun flying out.

  Haiyun, who had fallen to the ground, clutched his palm in agony and glared at Haitian, shouting: "What are you doing? Want to fight?"

  "Fight? Humph, I'm saving you!" Haitian snorted disdainfully.

  "Save me? Bullshit! You call this saving me, kicking me with all your might? I think you're just looking for trouble!" Hai Yun shouted loudly, enduring the pain in his palm.

  Haitian glanced at Haiyun with disdain and said coldly: "I advise you to take a look at your own palm first."

  After hearing Haitian's words, Haiyun lowered his head and looked down, suddenly exclaiming in surprise. Most of his palms had been charred black, and a burnt smell kept coming from them.

  Xiaoyu and Li Tianxiang both noticed Haiyun's palm, extremely surprised in their hearts. Xiaoyu asked dazedly: "Tian Ge, could it be that his palm is because of that sword?"

  "It's wrong, it's because of the seal on the sword. The master of this cave had carved a flame seal on the sword. Once someone touches the seal with their hand, they will end up like Ha Yun." Hai Tian no longer looked at Ha Yun, but instead shifted his gaze to the sword, thinking about how to break the seal.

  Haiyun only then realized that he had just been saved by Haitian. If Haitian hadn't kicked him away, within a few seconds the flames would have spread to his entire body and it would have been too late to save him.

  He stood up with his charred palm covered, not only did he not thank Haitian, but instead became even more resentful of him. Because the better Haitian performed, the more incompetent he felt as the older brother.

  "So this sword is something that can be seen but not taken?" Li Tianxiang's tone also revealed a hint of disappointment.

  Haitian didn't respond to his words, but instead stared intently at the sword array on the wall. He could sense that the restrictions surrounding the sword array weren't particularly formidable. If it were him in the past, he would have been able to break through with just one move.

  But now there is no past strength, can't use brute force to crack it, have to use clever methods.

  According to his understanding of seals, every seal has a common weakness, that is, the limit of energy it can withstand. Depending on the difference in the strength of the master who sets up the seal, this limit of energy that can be withstood is also different.

  "Little Rain, go find some pebbles." Hai Tian suddenly said.

  "Tian Ge, what are you trying to do?" Xiaoyu asked strangely, "Could it be that you have a way to break this seal?"

  "I don't know, can only try my best." Hai Tian shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know what the limit of this seal was either, but for now, this clumsy method was all they could do.

  Soon, Xiaoyu found a pile of gravel, to know that this cave is all composed of rocks, wanting to find gravel is not an easy thing?

  Li Tianxiang and Haiyun stood on both sides, watching from a distance. Li Tianxiang's gaze was suspicious, while Haiyun's gaze was filled with jealousy!

  Haitian picked up a handful of small stones that had been washed clean by the rain and threw them at the sword.

  "Hiss!" Before the gravel could get close, a red flame suddenly shot out and completely burned up the gravel.

  However, Haitian soon noticed that the red film on the sword had dimmed slightly.

  It seems that his idea is correct, as long as the energy of the seal is constantly consumed, it will eventually lose its energy and be broken. The volume of the gravel is too small, and it would take a very long time to completely consume the energy of the seal. What if we use some larger rocks instead?

  Is the energy consumed going to be more than that?

  "Little Rain, go find some bigger rocks!" Haitian's voice echoed in the stone room once again.

  Xiao Yu didn't know what Hai Tian was going to do, but he had always trusted him unconditionally. Without saying a word, he immediately found two fist-sized stones and handed them over to Hai Tian: "Brother Tian, here."

  Haitian took it over, weighed it with his hand, and immediately threw it towards that sword.

  In an instant, red flames spewed out again, but the color of the thin film on the sword had dulled a bit more.

  "As expected, it seems my guess was correct." Haitian's face flashed a hint of a smile as he found a boulder half his height in the stone room and lifted it above his head.

  "Brother Tian! What are you doing? Don't think about anything rash!" Xiaoyu was startled, thinking that Haitian was going to commit suicide.

  Haiyun stood at the edge with her hands clasped together, coldly sneering: "You wouldn't be telling me that you can break open the seal with just that big stone? Don't even think about it, this seal is so powerful, how could it be broken by a big stone... Eh? How is this possible?"

  Haiyun's words had not yet fallen when he suddenly let out a loud cry, because Haitian didn't even bother to acknowledge him and instead used all his strength to lift the huge boulder and slammed it against the sword hanging on the wall.

  "Bang!" The boulder and the wall came into close contact, red flames bursting out continuously. However, before it could completely melt the boulder, the flames disappeared first.

  A grey long sword fell from the wall, making a crisp metallic sound.

  The sea and sky walked past, shook off the dust on top, revealing a delicate sword body and a red hilt, and swung it casually twice: "A primary-level sword of the Mystic Stage, not bad."

  "What? Is that a Xuanjie beginner's sword?" Both Haiyun and Li Tianxiang stared at the red longsword in Haitian's hand with wide eyes.

  Xiao Yu shouted in alarm: "What are you trying to do? This was created by Tian Ge, so it naturally belongs to him!"
