Necropolis Immortal

pursued the streak of white.

Although Lu Yun could summon his own connate metal energy from the west, his cultivation was still too weak to apply the necessary amount of force.
His energy wouldn’t have enough of a biting edge to it, either.

Contrary to Yuchi Tianhuang’s assumption that Lu Yun had been leading the way with perfect knowledge, the human had actually taken several trips inside the Gates of Hell to analyze the layout ahead.
They were truly terrifying grand feng shui influences.

After much deliberation, his final conclusion was that connate metal energy, or the essence qi of metal would be required, hence the conversation just now.
He’d wanted Yuchi Tianhuang to use his essence qi of his own volition.

The White Tiger divine had no other option.
He was dead in the water against the tomb keepers, so the Sword Barrow was his only chance at life.

Lu Yun hadn’t told a single lie just now, either; the Skandha Extinction Tomb did indeed curse the four cardinal tribes.

……

Rumble…

The entire tomb began shaking.

“It’s open!” Lu Yun lit up with excitement.
He quickly stuck a talisman onto himself, disappearing in the next instant with a flash of the ‘dun’ character.
Being the character for ‘flee’, the Dun Talisman allowed him to accelerate to incredible speeds for a very short period of time.

Zoom!

His body pierced a barrier of light, then landed on solid ground.

Clang!

As soon as he did so, the ringing of swords crashed against his eardrums.
An immortal longsword took a swing right at him!

Clink!

Violetgrave erupted with tinted light, blocking the blow.

“Lu Yun—” Before he could collect his thoughts, an angry roar came from deeper into the crypt.
“You were just using me!”

“You have no other choice,” Lu Yun exhaled, observing his surroundings.
There were swords… everywhere.

On the ground, on the walls, even suspended in midair… there were swords as far as the eye could see.
All of them were zombies, without exception.
The countless swords pointed themselves at him in unison.
If they moved to strike, he would be torn to shreds.

“No wonder those tomb keepers didn’t dare come in.
This is suicide!” He drew a sharp breath, then raised Violetgrave.
It glowed and resonated in response, warding off its zombified fellows.
The mass of swords did indeed pause their offensive when they recognized the violet sword.

“Violetgrave left the Sword Barrow long ago.
It’s practically foreign to this place now.
Are you sure you won’t let me out?” The dread zombie’s alluring voice sounded again.

“Was Violetgrave a sword zombie when it first appeared in the world?” Lu Yun retorted.

Only blank silence responded.

“The Sword Barrow now is not the place you once knew.
Even if I did let you out, you’d be cut up just like everything else.”

Fwoosh!

Black fire enveloped Lu Yun, cutting off every trace of life upon him.
To an outside observer, he was no different from a cold, stony statue.

“Something unexpected happened to this place, turning all of the swords buried here into zombies.” He strode forward, deeper into the barrow.

The flying swords returned to their previous sluggish state.
They wandered about aimlessly, completely ignorant of the youth in their midst.
Now that they were zombies, they only held interest in the living.
