Chapter 93 Forbidden Techniques

Xia Xue stood in mid-air, facing the bronze coffin, her brows slightly furrowed. Her gaze went beyond the bronze coffin to the shadow behind it, where it was obscured.

"That location gave me a sense of danger, and it became increasingly intense in a very short period of time."

Xia Xue's expression turned serious.

"Observe the qi!"

An overwhelming aura of sin emanated from the shadows behind the bronze coffin.

"Such deep sins; it seems this person was a tyrant in his lifetime."

A faint trace of imperial aura was mixed in with the aura of sin, instantly making Xia Xue realize the other party's identity.

The original owner of this ancient tomb was an emperor from an unknown dynasty.

"Unfortunately, after becoming a zombie, he is no longer within the Three Realms or the Five Elements, so the karmic fire cannot be ignited. Otherwise, with such sins, only a few specks of karmic fire would be needed to ignite him and destroy his body and soul."

The regret on Xia Xue's face had not yet faded when she sensed something and her expression changed.

"Iron Corpse, Bronze Corpse, their advancement speed is so fast!"

From the moment I sensed the other party's presence being exposed, the time was too short, only a few breaths.

"Silver Corpse!"

He transcended the realm of Xuan Master and reached the level of Xuan Sect!

"boom."

A powerful aura, like the ferocity of a beast, emanated from the other party. A figure dressed in a golden jade robe slowly rose from the shadow of the bronze coffin and stood in mid-air.

This figure was not at all like the withered and emaciated corpses; instead, it was robust and powerful. It exuded a strong aura, its body surface shimmering with a faint silver light, its nails long and sharp like knives, radiating a metallic luster, and its eyes were completely red, devoid of any human light. Its two jet-black canine teeth broke through the seal of its lips, emitting a dark light in the air.

"Silver Corpse, equivalent to the Silver Corpse of Xuanzong, hehe, Underworld Master, you really think highly of me."

Although surprised, Xia Xue remained calm.

"This must be a forbidden technique."

Xia Xue's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already in the tomb chamber where Hu Jiu, Yang Rui, and the other two were.

"An unexpected situation has occurred; you should leave now."

Interrupting Yang Rui, who was making the most of her time to absorb the Netherworld energy in the tomb, Xia Xue didn't give the three of them any time to ask questions. With a hand gesture, she used the power of the Feng Shui formation to send the three of them out of the ancient tomb.

With a bang.

The tomb's door was broken open.

A silver figure rushed towards her like lightning.

"Forbidden techniques cannot last long and have serious side effects. As long as I can stall for time, I will definitely win in the end."

Xia Xue had no intention of confronting the silver corpse head-on. With a flash, she teleported out of the ancient tomb.

Xia Xue stood suspended in mid-air above the imperial mausoleum, gazing at the seemingly ordinary forest below, and murmured softly.

"I don't know whether he became a silver corpse by means of the power of a feng shui formation or simply by the power of a forbidden technique."

If one relies on the power of the feng shui formation, one cannot leave the ancient tomb. However, if one relies solely on the power of forbidden techniques, one can leave the ancient tomb without being restricted by the feng shui formation.

Seeing that the silver corpse didn't chase after her, Xia Xue chuckled softly.

"As expected, even with the strength of a Netherworld Master, he couldn't create a silver corpse equivalent to that of a Xuanzong master, even using forbidden techniques. Only by relying on the power of a feng shui formation could he possibly do so."

However, feng shui can be both a blessing and a curse.

This grand feng shui formation, built upon the foundation of the ancient tomb, will inevitably become a prison for this silver corpse.

After confirming that the silver corpse would not emerge, Xia Xue leisurely landed.

Hu Jiu and the other two immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Greetings, senior."

Xia Xue nodded and looked at Yang Rui.

"Not bad, the bloodline in my body has finally been activated."

Having just activated her bloodline, Yang Rui was overjoyed, her face beaming with smiles, and her replies were tinged with a charming coquettishness.

"Thanks to you, senior, I originally thought I would need to visit two or three more tombs to accumulate enough, but I didn't expect the quality of this ancient tomb to be so high. I only stayed for a short while and I had enough."

"You're welcome. This is your good fortune."

While talking to the three of them, Xia Xue deduced how to break the feng shui formation, all the while remaining vigilant against any unexpected events that might occur at any moment.

After all, she hadn't forgotten that the Underworld Master was still inside the tomb.

"Next, Master of the Underworld, what will you do?"

……

The necromancer sensed that the mysterious man had decisively left the ancient tomb using a spatial technique similar to teleportation, and was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Aren't you a mysterious force? Aren't you powerful? Why are you so cowardly? You run away as soon as something goes wrong. Your techniques and supernatural abilities are so effective against the Silver Corpse. You're not without the strength to fight back. Why don't you come back and have a big battle?"

Unfortunately, his words were merely an outburst of impotent rage and had no effect whatsoever.

Regardless of whether the mysterious person hears it or not, even if they do, they probably won't pay any attention to his barking.

"Huff, huff, huff."

The necromancer was panting heavily, trying to alleviate the physical discomfort caused by the backlash from casting the forbidden spell.

"After using the forbidden technique, my life is already on a countdown. I have no chance of survival. Now, all I have left is to fight to the death!"

At this moment, the Master of the Underworld had no other thoughts but one: even if he died, he would drag the other person down with him.

The necromancer's eyes gradually turned mad and resolute. His hands kept changing hand seals, and one after another, magic seals were thrown into the void and disappeared into the silver corpse.

"I offer my broken body to help you escape; I offer my broken soul to help you ascend; I offer everything to help you regain your light! Hurry!"

In the final moments before the master of the underworld's consciousness faded, a domineering voice came from all directions.

"Haha, the Imperial Advisor did not lie to me after all. I have indeed been resurrected and returned to the mortal world as Emperor Xuanzong. Haha."

A final glimmer of understanding flashed in the eyes of the necromancer.

"So, all along, I was just a pawn?"

This applies to both the corpse-driving lineage and the unknown emperor.

"My life has been truly laughable."

The necromancer's consciousness plunged into darkness, his breathing ceased, and he lost all life force.

That domineering voice came again.

"The Xuan Master who restored my sanity, was his last wish to kill that mysterious Xuan Master outside the Great Tomb? Haha, as you wish. Let the blood of the Xuan Masters of this era celebrate my return, haha."

The silver corpse's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

……

"Senior, what crisis has befallen the ancient tomb? Even you must avoid its sharp edge."

After activating her bloodline, Yang Rui felt even closer to this mysterious person, as if she were facing an elder of her own family.

Xia Xue maintained her usual kind and friendly attitude towards the female lead and always treated Yang Rui very well.

"I am not invincible, and the enemy is not a piece of clay or a dog. When things cannot be changed, we must temporarily avoid confrontation."

Yang Rui asked curiously, "Who is your enemy?"
