The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1215 - 637: A Close Call

In front are wolves, behind are tigers.

For most people facing such a situation, life and death would be unpredictable; they could only fight with their lives.

But for Li Yan, it was as if an unexpected east wind arrived.

An Astral Order doesn't always appear, but if shadow criminals are being captured and something is nearby, unaware of the Yin Bureau's taboos, it will be taken away.

If it's something evil, it definitely won't be spared.

Especially this time while capturing Demonic Qi, even the Netherworld General from the Yin Bureau will personally come!

"Roar!"

Upon hearing the incantation to summon yin soldiers, the old demon emerging from the coffin looked terrified and let out a piercing roar.

Instantly, countless papermen swarmed over.

"Run!"

Without any hesitation, Li Yan interrupted the incantation and pulled Zhao Lvzi to swiftly retreat.

Perhaps it was because the central cave monster emerged, everybody inside the coffins began to awaken.

They were in panic and desperately banging on the coffin.

When Li Yan and Zhao Lvzi passed by, the banging echoed continuously, the scene was extremely dramatic.

However, at this moment, there wasn't time for rescue.

In the rear passage, dense papermen were already swarming in.

Yin wind and cold mist instantaneously filled the entire cave.

Crack!

One of the coffins suddenly had its lid shattered.

A giant Han man with a sauce-red face climbed out painfully, muscles all knotted, clearly a martial artist.

Just escaped, but before he could check his surroundings, he was enveloped by the thick mist and yin wind.

Papermen fluttered above and below in the mist, suddenly sticking to his back.

The giant man's body stiffened, his eyes quickly turned blood-red, rushing madly toward Li Yan.

This is a common method used by papermen yin soldiers.

If someone carries a protective magical artifact, papermen yin souls can't approach closely; once possessed, they can deal with it.

The papermen's actions were nearly instinctive, evidently controlled by an experienced manipulator.

However, in just this brief time, the two had already reached the center.

Li Yan ran while chanting a spell.

"The heavens have records, the earth has rules, the Yin Bureau detains souls, living people retreat!"

As they neared the central bronze coffin, the incantation was finally completed.

Suddenly, the surrounding yin wind howled and darkness spread.

A monster emerged from the coffin, originally leaping up with sharp claws extended toward Li Yan.

But upon seeing this situation, it immediately gave up attacking, making a light tap with the toes, its body flew backward directly into the coffin.

What was this thing doing?

Li Yan felt strange but saw the heavy bronze coffin lid beside him suddenly close forcefully.

The other's presence disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, darkness had already enveloped the surroundings.

Accompanied by the clinking sound of chains, a dense cold aura emerged.

Among them, one was especially unsettling.

It was the Netherworld General of the Yin Bureau, descending with his yin soldiers.

A large group of roaring papermen was speeding in from behind, completely unable to react before being enveloped by the darkness.

Clink clink~

Accompanied by chains clanking densely, the yin souls housed within the papermen were all bound, turned into black smoke and dragged out.

Like deflated balls, these papermen quickly collapsed and decayed, falling to the ground.

In front of the power of the Yin Bureau, the papermen that had unsettled Luoyang City were utterly defeated.

All this was detected by Li Yan's Divine Skills.

But he paid no mind, focusing entirely on the bronze coffin.

The Demon God "Yang Corpse" had passed down the "Corpse Coffin Longevity Technique," his demon Qi attached to a demon, who seemingly cultivated an even stronger Magic Method, hiding within the coffin without leaking the slightest Qi. The Netherworld General and his yin soldiers rushing in couldn't find it.

"Close your eyes and wait for me!"

With this exhortation to Zhao Lvzi, Li Yan charged towards the coffin with a knife.

He wasn't foolish enough to loudly alert the Netherworld General.

From previous clues, the gods weren't invincible, more akin to inhabitants of the Daluo Law Realm.

To attack, they needed to lock onto a presence, resulting in the role of the "living Yin messenger."

In short, even if spoken, it wouldn't help and would violate the Yin Bureau taboo.

What Li Yan could do was destroy the bronze coffin before the Yin Bureau soldiers left.

Before he could finish speaking, he was already leaping forth.

Yet an unexpected event occurred.

Despite his reminders, Zhao Lvzi, who was supposed to remain in place, seemed to sense something, suddenly raised his head, looked around frantically, and then insanely dashed into the darkness.

"You...damn!"

Li Yan didn't expect Zhao Lvzi, whom he thought reliable, to mess things up at this moment.

Though annoyed, he couldn't worry about it.

He reached the metallic coffin in a few steps, placed both hands on the coffin's edge, explosively exerting strength.

He had reached the peak of Force Transformation, only a step away from Dan Strength.

Integrating the power throughout his body, though not matching Wu Ba, could still be considered Divine Power.

He could easily play with stones over two hundred pounds.

However, despite the explosive force, the bronze coffin remained utterly immobile.

There's a spring mechanism inside!

Li Yan cursed internally, yet remained calm.

He had strategies for such situations.

The Tanyou Lineage, and some skilled grave diggers, often encountered mechanisms when exploring ancient tombs.

They wouldn't foolishly pry with tools like novices.

Simply use listening skill, pinpoint the spring location, and break it with Mountain Separation Bull Strike power.

Skilled experts in this field could lightly tap and easily open the tomb door.

Though not proficient, Li Yan could use it.

This technique was taught by Zhao Lvzi.

Placing his hand on the coffin lid, Li Yan's palm swiftly vibrated, producing continuous thumping sounds.

Soon, the sound changed.

Happy upon hearing it, Li Yan found a simple latch structure inside.

Aiming the spot, he suddenly swung his arm, the Pigua Palm Wheel Strength exploded.

Boom!

A loud bang was followed by a snap from inside; the heavy coffin lid revealed a gap.

The Netherworld General and Yin Bureau soldiers, initially unable to locate the target and readying to leave, immediately halted.
