CHAPTER 1158: CHAPTER 1158: THEIR OWN TRUMP CARDS

Dong——

With a loud boom, the lid of one of the eleven stone coffins was blasted open in the distance.

Next, a skeletal hand reached out, grabbing the edge of the stone coffin, as a skeleton demon slowly awoke.

Dong dong——

The most critical issue was that, not just one, but all remaining eleven stone coffins were the same.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s face instantly turned as pale as paper.

A single skeleton demon had previously put them in a difficult position, and only by joining forces could they barely manage to kill it.

But after slaying it, everyone was left exhausted.

Though they had regained some strength by now, it was impossible for them to contend with eleven such skeleton demons.

"No, we must leave here immediately, or we will surely die."

Lin Chen shouted to Su Yun and the others, then waved his hand to retract the surrounding formation and flew quickly towards the front.

At this moment, no path was safe.

But if they wanted to survive, they had to move deeper into the passage, as the way back had already been blocked.

Su Yun, Yang Minghui, Mu Qinghe, Gu Yong’an, and the other martial artists followed closely behind Lin Chen, rushing forward.

And shortly after Lin Chen and the others left, the skeleton demons in the stone coffins, all eleven of them, woke up completely and frantically pursued Lin Chen and his group.

"Oh my god, hurry up in front! Those monsters are chasing us!"

Su Yun saw the monsters behind and screamed in alarm.

Hearing this, everyone was terrified, thinking if they had known these ancient ruins were so horror-filled, they wouldn’t have entered even if it killed them.

Yang Minghui was of the same mind. Although the Yang family had Lin Chen’s protection this time, it also had suffered heavy losses.

"Look, there’s the entrance to the passage! There’s a narrow passage ahead, great! As long as we get through, we can ambush these monsters from another section."

Among the crowd, a martial artist from Xindi Water City spotted the passage and exclaimed excitedly.

At the same time, he sped up, rushing straight towards the passage.

After all, there was an advantage with this passage; those who passed through first didn’t have to worry about the skeleton demons chasing them from behind.

Since the passage could only allow two people through at a time.

Having fellow martial artists behind, those monsters naturally could only attack the martial artists at the back.

As long as they rushed to the front, they could be temporarily safe.

The crowd looked at that passage and thought to themselves: They didn’t need to run faster than the monsters, just faster than their teammates.

Swoosh swoosh——

Among the crowd, someone immediately crossed the front of the passage, leaving others behind.

Left with no choice, they could only take out their weapons and fight the skeleton demons.

However, facing the skeleton demon they previously needed joint strength to handle, now scattered, how could they possibly withstand it?

"Ah..."

Immediately, a martial artist’s body was pierced by a skeleton demon, dying instantly.

"Bunch of fools, only knowing to run away without dealing with these monsters, eventually, everyone will die."

Lin Chen, while combatting the skeleton demons, flew past the narrow passage.

However, unknown to all, as the martial artists died, their vital energy was being absorbed by a mysterious force of the secret realm, flowing along the ground towards a golden coffin.

The presence in the golden coffin began showing signs of awakening after absorbing this vital energy.

"Ah... there are monsters here too, many of them!"

"What do we do, we’re going to die here!"

At this moment, the group, having crossed the passage, found the other end also had many skeleton demons, and some women screamed suddenly.

"Stop screaming, save your strength for dealing with the monsters."

Lin Chen shot those screaming women a glance, seeing their frightened faces drained of color, lacking any demeanor of Nirvana Realm experts.

"Brother Mu, Su Yun, you and City Lord Gu should hold this passage behind us. With the narrow passage advantage, you should be able to handle it temporarily. Yang and I will clear the monsters ahead."

Lin Chen said to Su Yun, Mu Qinghe, and Gu Yong’an, then flew forward with Yang Minghui.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun and Mu Qinghe nodded immediately, though puzzled. Yang Minghui and Lin Chen had been at odds, even fighting over a woman, but now they seemed united.

However, Gu Yong’an frowned upon hearing this.

He felt that Lin Chen and Yang Minghui didn’t intend to tackle the monsters ahead but wanted to escape forward while they distracted the monsters behind.

But though the number of monsters ahead was fewer, in the stone chamber they would certainly be encircled.

Gu Yong’an couldn’t understand, was Lin Chen truly unafraid of those monsters?

Lin Chen flew into the stone chamber ahead, immediately besieged by four skeleton demons.

"Thunderfire Sword Technique!"

Lin Chen lightly shouted, and two beams appeared on the sharp sword in his hand, one red-yellow, one purple, one was firelight, the other was thunder light.

At the same time, Lin Chen’s other hand held a Dharma Seal.

"Destroy them for me!"

Looking at the four attacking monsters, Lin Chen yelled angrily, slashing out with the Thunderfire Sword, while throwing the Dharma Seal infused with spiritual power.

Boom——

The Dharma Seal expanded in the air, transforming into a giant mountain, crashing down on the four skeleton demons.

Next, the Thunderfire Sword slashed over the heads of the four monsters.

The four skeleton demons, upon seeing the massive mountain falling, could only reach out, attempting to halt the descending mountain.

But soon, Lin Chen’s Thunderfire Sword sliced through their heads.

Whoosh——

Greenish fresh blood spouted from the monsters’ heads.

The four skeleton demons were beheaded, and Lin Chen waved his hand, four flame lotuses flew towards the remaining bodies, igniting them.

Seeing this scene, Yang Minghui, Mu Qinghe, Gu Yong’an, and others were all stunned.

In an instant, Lin Chen had slain four skeleton demons.

Moreover, the magic treasure and techniques he just used were their trump cards they had never seen before.

Watching Yang Minghui and Mu Qinghe’s shocked expressions, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

"Everyone, at this point, do you still plan to hide your strength, save your trump cards to meet King Yama?"
