Strange Cards

Chapter 154 Immortal Life

After Ying finished speaking, she moved her fingers and quickly opened an opening large enough for everyone to pass through.

The group went in one after another, until the strongest man, Dafu, passed through and Ying took out his strange card.

The card was the two of diamonds, and the image on it was a giant made entirely of stone.

Shadow controlled the soil to fill in the brick wall from all sides, blocking the entrance where everyone had come in and preventing those who wanted to take advantage of the situation from entering.

But those who truly want to be the opportunist can't be stopped no matter what. The moment Kage left, Tsubaki arrived with Yoruyuki.

"This is the place."

Chun squatted down and looked at the newly turned dirt paths.

Ye Xue also squatted down, touched it, and then took out her own phone to compare it.

"That's right, this should be the entrance to the underground palace of the Qin Mausoleum."

"The things the boss needs are also in here."

"Then let's sit for a while, there's no rush."

"Let those hunters scout out the path for us before we go in."

As Chun spoke, she found a thick tree branch, cut it off with a sickle, and then found some vines nearby to make a swing.

Chun sat on the swing, rocking back and forth. If it weren't for the surrounding forest, Chun's smile would really look like a child having fun at an amusement park.

Ye Xue found a clean, large rock and sat down to rest quietly.

Chun quickly got tired of playing and lay down next to Yexue.

"Xiaoxue, do you think what the boss said is true?"

"Is it really possible for anyone to escape the ravages of time and achieve immortality? How could the human body possibly withstand that?"

Ye Xue slowly opened her eyes and said.

"This was predicted by the boss using the Joker's ability, so it should be correct."

"I don't know why immortality is possible, but the sword that the boss needs, the one that can cut through the immortal, is in the underground palace of Qin Mausoleum."

"Wait, didn't the boss say there were two? Aren't they together? Or is one male and one female?"

"The other knife is on a guy who can be called a man or a ghost, an old thing that has lived since the Qin Dynasty."

"He was the one who underwent the First Emperor's immortality experiment without going insane, and he was also the one who was ordered by the First Emperor to kill the immortal evil creature."

Bai Qi's younger brother, Bai Zhong.

"Is Kuang Lei and the others' mission to find him?"

Ye Xue shook her head.

"Kuang Lei and the others have gone to search for Bai Qi's remnant soul. Only by collecting a certain amount of Bai Qi's remnant soul can they possibly lure Bai Zhong out."

"The boss also predicted the names of those two knives."

As Ye Xue spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket and looked at the two knives, one black and one red, on it.

"A weapon called 'Open the Door' is on Bai Zhong's body."

"And the weapon Bai Lei is in the underground palace is the same knife that Qin Shi Huang used to kill Bai Qi."

"The Qin Emperor bowed deeply, shed tears, and beheaded Bai Qi; hence the name of the sword, 'Bow and Tears'."

"I remember Bai Qi being quite strong, so why kill him?"

As Chun spoke, she sat on the swing, took out a lollipop from her person, unwrapped it, and started eating it.

"In the boss's prophecy, Bai Qi was the first person to undergo an immortality experiment."

"The boss didn't predict anything either. It seems that some special kind of insect parasitizes the human body and they achieve immortality."

"Bai Qi was able to control himself at first, but eventually he lost control and went mad, so the First Emperor had no choice but to execute him."

"History is just about how the person who wrote it writes it; the best way to truly understand history is through experience."

"But we have the ability to predict the future, which is why we were able to know the truth about what happened back then."

"What 'merits that overshadow the ruler'? It's all fake, just something to deceive future generations."

"How could I kill someone so loyal and skilled in martial arts, someone who would never rebel even if given power? He was the sharpest blade in the First Emperor's hands, without exception."

"We need to use a two-pronged approach; we must acquire one of the two Mortal Blades."

"Obtaining the Mortal Blade, which can slay undead creatures, could potentially kill the Joker and is a way to keep this world alive."

After Ye Xue finished speaking, she closed her eyes again and began to meditate.

Chun sat directly on the swing and began to meditate, quietly conserving her energy.

The hunters, however, did not rush into the locked underground palace, instead of looking at the Qin Dynasty characters and murals on the eight walls at the entrance. Instead, they began to decipher the characters and murals.

With the help of her glasses, Shigure translated very quickly, and soon she had translated the contents of the entire wall.

"A centipede nurtured by a dragon vein, an immortal monstrous creature."

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

Just then, a black figure suddenly rushed towards Shigure from a corner piled with rubble, but Shigure's sense of danger was extremely fast, and he directly drew his demonic blade and transformed into lightning to dodge the attack.

Shi Yu watched as the man in the long robe took out a crossbow from his robes, adjusted the muzzle, and pulled the trigger repeatedly, firing three shots.

Three thousand highly poisonous crossbow needles pierced the man's body, producing a sickeningly loud sound as they sank into flesh.

Everyone realized what was happening, but Qi Wu waved his hand when he saw Shi Yu take out the Thousand Machine Crossbow, signaling everyone not to go up.

Normally, Shigure's Thousand Machine Crossbow has the ability to kill demons, not to mention that the crossbow bolts are eyeless and have poison on them, so it would be bad if they hurt one's own people.

But strangely, the man suddenly stood up and continued rushing towards Shigure.

After Shi Yu saw that the Thousand Machine Crossbow was useless, he reconstructed the five elements and condensed them on the Demon Blade. The five elements of thunder, fire, wind, water and earth were combined and directly cut the man in two.

After Shigure shook off the remaining elements on the sword, he put it away. At that moment, another anomaly occurred.

The man, who had been cut in half at the waist, crawled toward his lower body, and then, after a series of extremely sanity-draining actions, actually managed to reassemble his lower body.

Shi Yu felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the man attack her again, and had no choice but to take out her remaining fire.

The man suddenly went berserk, not even giving Shiyu a chance to insert the card into the remnant fire.

"What the hell is going on? Even cutting my Jack of Spades in half wouldn't necessarily save him? Is he even more powerful than the Jack of Spades?"

At this moment, the smoke on the glasses translated all the text messages, and a female voice, almost indistinguishable from a real person, replied.

"Sir, the mural says that there is another way to kill this monstrous creature besides using a very special knife."

"What method?"

"This thing can be burned by burning it with the fire of the sun for forty-nine days."

"Even if such a thing exists, where would I find it now? Where would the sun's fire come from in this underground palace?"
