Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1624 - 1625: Countering with a Sneak Move

"It seems this person has indeed ventured into the depths of this Buddhist temple."

The young lord Han Ye, observing the residual Spiritual Power left by Chu Fengmian, showed a cold expression and uttered.

"This person’s strength is exceptionally formidable; you see the surrounding barriers have already been broken."

Lord Feng also let out a slight sneer and said.

"It’s perfect to let this kid explore the reality within this Buddhist temple first. Let’s follow him upwards."

The young lord Han Ye, after observing the surrounding Spiritual Power, proceeded down one of the pathways.

He could see that Chu Fengmian had entered through this pathway.

Just as they both stepped into the passageway, a sudden burst of Spiritual Power erupted.

Golden light filled the skies like a river, bombarding towards the young lord Han Ye and Lord Feng.

"Barriers?"

"How are there still barriers present?"

Both Han Ye and Lord Feng were stunned by the sudden eruption of golden light.

They initially believed that Chu Fengmian had already broken all the barriers ahead, but unexpectedly, there were still barriers left.

Thus, as soon as they stepped into this passageway, they were bombarded by the barriers.

The Buddhist barriers show no mercy to intruders, releasing their full power, with the golden river containing extremely surging power, striking onto their bodies.

"Phoenix True Body!"

"True Martial Fist!"

Nervous, the two hurriedly responded, channeling the Spiritual Power within their bodies, unleashing numerous lethal moves towards the barriers.

The battle persisted for several minutes before Han Ye and Lord Feng managed to break the Buddhist barriers, but their expressions were extremely displeased.

The sudden activation of the barriers caught them off guard and left them with little time to react.

Reacting in panic.

Although they eventually broke the barriers, it consumed a great deal of their Spiritual Power.

Within this temple, where the Buddhist forces suppress everything, recovering Spiritual Power is extremely difficult.

"Damn it, that little bastard tricked us!"

The young lord Han Ye’s expression was incredibly hard to look at; seeing the remnants of the barriers, he understood that they had been tricked by Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian intentionally led them into this pathway, making them clash with the barriers.

"Did that kid not use this pathway after all? Then where did he go?"

Lord Feng’s expression was also very unpleasant, with a scar remaining on his chest, clearly a result of the recent clash with the barriers.

Although the injuries were inconsequential to him, being tricked by Chu Fengmian greatly angered him.

"Don’t worry, that little bastard is still within this temple. He simply lured us into this pathway as bait. Let’s retreat and search each pathway until we find that little bastard!"

The young lord Han Ye looked at the dense barriers ahead on the pathway, snorted coldly, and said.

These barriers are difficult to handle even with full efforts; while they seem calm now, once they approach.

The barriers’ power would fully erupt, and indeed, due to fear of these Buddhist barriers, he planned to let Chu Fengmian lead the way.

"Backtrack."

Lord Feng also shouted coldly; the two figures left this pathway, heading back to inspect other passages.

Chu Fengmian certainly hasn’t left the temple.

If Chu Fengmian is not in this pathway, he must have entered one of the other paths.

The young lord Han Ye and Lord Feng’s figures entered other paths once again, searching for Chu Fengmian’s whereabouts.

"A barrier has been triggered."

On the other side, in the passage, Chu Fengmian also sensed a barrier being activated, causing Spiritual Power fluctuations.

A cold smile appeared subtly at the corner of his mouth.

These two intended for Chu Fengmian to handle the barriers so they could reap the benefits. How easy could that be?

Chu Fengmian ventured into the depths of the temple, leaving the barriers intact along the way just so they could hinder Han Ye and Lord Feng.

No matter how much they calculated, they couldn’t predict that Chu Fengmian had the Ten Thousand Buddha Beads, allowing him to traverse the passages with his bare body, enduring numerous Buddhist barrier bombardments.

"I’ll find the treasure within the temple first, and then deal with those two."

Chu Fengmian refocused, again heading towards the temple’s depths.

On the other side, at the temple’s entrance.

"How is it possible? How can the barriers in that pathway be intact? Where did that little bastard go?"

The young lord Han Ye and Lord Feng both looked bedraggled now.

Appearing extremely disheveled, even their bodies bore several scars.

Having explored all the passageways of the temple, yet every pathway’s barriers remained intact.

Despite their utmost caution, they triggered several barriers, ending up looking so pitiful.

"Could it be that the little bastard escaped?"

Lord Feng incredulously asked.

"Impossible, if he had escaped, we would have noticed outside; he must be within this temple."

The young lord Han Ye shook his head.

When Chu Fengmian first entered the temple, they waited outside at the entrance.

Chu Fengmian could not have escaped under their watchful eyes, and with such a treasure, Han Ye didn’t believe Chu Fengmian would abandon it.

"Then where exactly did that little bastard escape to? I can no longer sense his presence."

Lord Feng coldly uttered.

"Perhaps he’s perished at the hands of a barrier, with no bones left."

The young lord Han Ye pondered and said.

Although, when expressing this view, he didn’t sound confident.

After all, even in death, Chu Fengmian’s presence wouldn’t entirely vanish, yet now they couldn’t detect his presence at all.

Chu Fengmian’s presence had completely disappeared, and no pathway’s barriers were broken.

Unless Chu Fengmian had a way to bypass the barriers, otherwise the only explanation was that Chu Fengmian had fallen to the barrier, with no trace left.
