Chapter 223 The struggle for magical treasures.
Filled with anticipation and barely suppressed nervousness, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao cautiously approached the ancient and powerful magical artifact like pilgrims. Just as their trembling fingertips were about to touch the artifact's mysterious and alluring form, a burst of intense light, like a blazing sun, erupted from it like a volcanic eruption. The light was scorching and dazzling, instantly illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime, so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
At the same time, several figures appeared out of thin air in the mysterious room as if by magic.
"Haha, indeed a treasure! This rare gem is destined to be mine!" A booming voice, like a thunderclap, suddenly rang out, making everyone's eardrums buzz. A burly man, as imposing as an iron tower, strode out. His broad, mountain-like shoulders seemed capable of supporting the entire world, and his strong, powerful arms seemed capable of uprooting ancient trees. His large, bell-like eyes gleamed with a greedy gleam, like a hungry wolf eyeing a plump lamb, his gaze almost bulging as he stared intently at the alluring magical artifact, as if it were the sole meaning of his life.
"Hmph, this isn't something you can monopolize. Treasures of this world belong to those with the right fate. In this world of cultivation, strength is the only true measure. Whoever has the ability can take it!" A woman dressed in green said sweetly, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's song, yet her eyes held a cunning and shrewdness like a fox. Her figure was graceful, her eyes expressive, yet a subtle, almost imperceptible ruthlessness flickered within them.
Jun Luochuan frowned, his brows sharp as swords and deep as knives. Without hesitation, he shielded Su Yao behind him, like a towering, unbreakable mountain protecting the delicate flower from the wind and rain. "Everyone," he said, "this magical artifact was discovered by us after countless hardships and near-death experiences. We hope you can be lenient and do us a favor. Leave a way out for others, so we can meet again in the future."
"So what if you found it first? In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, where the strong rule and the strong are respected, the rules are set by the strong. Whoever has the strongest fist is qualified to possess the treasure!" Another man, whose face was so gloomy it seemed he was perpetually shrouded in darkness, sneered. His smile was like a cold wind in the dead of night, chilling and bone-chilling, sending shivers down one's spine. He was thin, yet exuded a dangerous aura, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely tense, like a bowstring stretched to its limit about to snap, or a powder keg about to explode.
Like a frightened little rabbit, Su Yao huddled tightly behind Jun Luochuan, her petite body pressed against him. Her voice trembled like a leaf falling in the wind, filled with fear and helplessness as she whispered, "Jun Luochuan, they look so fierce. I'm so scared. I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my throat."
Jun Luochuan responded softly, his voice gentle yet firm, like the warm sun in winter, or a beacon illuminating the way in the darkness, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I wouldn't let them hurt you in the slightest. I will protect you, even if it costs me my life."
In the blink of an eye, the burly man launched a fierce attack. He wielded his massive axe, heavy as a mountain and sharp enough to cleave rivers, with the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, hacking down at Jun Luochuan. The axe blade sliced through the air with a sharp, piercing whistle, like the merciless horn of death, sending chills down one's spine.
Jun Luochuan moved with the agility and lightness of a ghost, dodging to the side with incredible speed. His movements were fluid and seamless, and he immediately counterattacked. His moves were as sharp as the wind and as swift as thunder. Each strike contained overwhelming and earth-shattering power, as if it could shatter the entire world.
The woman in green was not to be outdone. Her hands moved with breathtaking grace, like butterflies fluttering among flowers. However, behind this beauty lay a deadly threat. She unleashed a dazzling, overwhelming array of spells. The spells shone brilliantly, like a dreamlike galaxy, beautiful yet deadly, attempting to break through Jun Luochuan's defenses and seize the magical treasure.
The room was instantly filled with various lights, a dazzling array of colors that shimmered and reflected each other. The spells collided, producing a deafening, earth-shattering roar, as if countless stars were violently colliding, destruction and rebirth intertwined, and the world trembled.
"You guys, don't go too far!" Jun Luochuan roared, his voice like the roar of an angry lion, shaking the entire room slightly, and dust fell from the walls.
Just then, the gloomy man, like a treacherous and cunning viper, launched a silent sneak attack amidst the chaos of the battle. His movements were lightning-fast, silent, and utterly insidious. Jun Luochuan, with his exceptionally keen intuition, sensed the approaching danger and, with lightning speed, delivered a swift and precise counterattack, successfully averting the crisis.
The fierce battle for the magical artifact reached a fever pitch, with everyone giving their all, fighting like cornered beasts, desperate for that mysterious and powerful treasure. Their eyes were filled with fanaticism and unwavering determination, as if this artifact was their entire existence...
