In the underground palace, Yang Lin and Li Ke looked at each other from a distance of a few feet.
Previously, Yang Lin had not revealed his strength in order to let Li Ke and the others pave the way for him. Now that he had entered the underground palace, there was no need for him to remain silent.
However, Yang Lin was still worried about the sulfur powder on his body.
If not for this reason, Yang Lin would have taken the stone box and left long ago.
In Yang Lin's opinion, that stone box must be the key to triggering the greatest danger in the entire underground palace!
This was the first time Li Ke had seen Yang Lin speak to him in such a tone. His face darkened and he drew his sword.
The killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
However, at this moment, a huge change suddenly occurred in the battle over at the emperor statue.
An old man in plain clothes was very impressive. When many people were not paying attention, he stepped on the shoulders of a few people like an old ape. His figure turned into an afterimage and grabbed the stone box.
This was unexpected for the others.
"Stop!"
Countless screams sounded around them.
However, the Taoist expert had already grabbed the stone box.
Right at this moment, something strange happened. Countless tiny holes suddenly appeared on the body of the huge statue of the emperor. Thick white smoke and yellow flames burst out from the tiny holes!
"Not good! It was White Phosphorus! Retreat quickly!"
Everyone shouted and retreated in panic.
The old man in plain clothes who was holding the stone box didn't manage to take it from the statue. Instead, he was the first to be swallowed by the smoke and fire spurting out of the small holes on the statue's body. He instantly turned into a man of fire and fell from the sky while screaming.
The rest of the people were also affected because their bodies were stained with a lot of sulfur powder!
Sulfur powder with extreme ignition points!
More than half of the experts from the hundred sects were instantly turned into burning men. Some fell directly into the huge hole under the statue, while others were lucky enough to land on the ground and roll on the ground, crying and wailing.
The Governor of Yangzhou, Chen Leng, who was brought into the hall by Li Ke, had already hidden in a corner when everyone was confused by the luminous pearl and the mysterious stone box, making everyone forget his existence. At this time, he saw that everyone was on fire, and countless smoke, fine powder, and flames spewed out from the emperor statue. He was so scared that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Forgive me, former emperor! Forgive me, former emperor! I was forced!"
Far away from the statue, Li Ke saw that everyone had been injured by the mechanism. He was not surprised, but happy. He tore off his outer clothes, revealing a golden treasure robe that was impervious to water and fire. He smiled coldly and walked over with a long sword in his hand.
Puchi!
Li Ke killed the experts of the various sects who were severely injured by the flames with each sword strike. His attacks were ruthless and merciless.
"Wu Wang, you dare-"
Some people who were not seriously injured and were very clear-headed saw this scene and immediately pointed at Li Ke and shouted angrily.
However…
Li Ke's martial strength was much stronger than theirs. He slashed with his long sword as if he was chopping melons and vegetables. It did not take long for him to kill dozens of people.
Screams and curses echoed in the underground palace.
Yang Lin, who was standing at the side, raised his eyebrows.
Li Ke had already made up his mind to kill them to silence them. He had previously said that the Imperial Court would take 50% of the treasure and the rest would get 50%. It was simply a lie.
This kid was also a shrewd and ruthless person.
In fact, even if Li Ke did not make a move, Yang Lin also planned to make a move.
However, Yang Lin did not expect Li Ke to make a move in advance. Moreover, every time Li Ke killed a person, he would turn around and look at him. He did not know if Li Ke was deliberately trying to intimidate him or if he was worried that he would secretly run away.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred experts from various sects were either dead or on fire. Not a single person was left unscathed.
They had brought this upon themselves.
Just for a stone box, they were swallowed by desire and fell into a state of eternal damnation.
" The former emperor has a spirit. We can't take the treasure, we can't…"
In a corner, the Governor of Yangzhou, Chen Leng, was trembling all over as he crawled into the distance with his head hooked.
Suddenly, a deadly voice sounded above Chen Leng's head.
"Lord Chen, where do you want to go?"
"I…I…"
Chen Leng was coldly stared at by Li Ke. His forehead was covered in sweat and his soul was about to leave his body.
Suddenly, a sword shadow slashed over, and Chen Ling's head rolled to the ground.
