Heavenly War God Returns To City

The red sparrow replied affirmatively, "The records of the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid and the formation are not a public secret, because even if everyone knew, no one would be able to crack it."    

"There are many records of the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid in the Red Robed Cult's library. It is clearly stated that after the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid is unearthed, it will drop its leaves, and at the top, there will even be a Seven Leaf Golden Orchid. This is absolutely not wrong."    

Yang Xuan used his sleeve to wipe away the dirt on the seventh grade spirit bead, and repeatedly sized up and said in puzzlement, "Then that's strange. Isn't this considered unearthing?"    

At this moment, the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid's seven golden leaves suddenly trembled slightly.    

The red sparrow was surprised. "Strange, why did it suddenly have a reaction, but it didn't drop its leaves? What did you just do? "    

Yang Xuan asked curiously, "I didn't do anything, I just used my sleeve to wipe..."    

As he spoke, the seven golden leaves trembled slightly again.    

Yang Xuan suddenly came to a realization. "I understand. It's the effect of light!"    

Although the cave was airtight, there were many natural fluorescent stones on the stone walls. The entire cave could not be described as bright as day, but the vision was also very clear.    

These natural fluorescence stones were of different sizes. Some of them had a weaker light, while some had a stronger light.    

When Yang Xuan had used his sleeve to wipe away the seventh grade spirit bead, he had inadvertently shook the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid, causing it to be illuminated by a slightly larger glowing stone on the wall. Only then did it react.    

"Quick, put it where it's brighter!"    

The Red Sparrow also seemed very excited. As the two spoke, they hurriedly found the largest glowing stone on the stone wall, and then carefully probed the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid over.    

Sure enough, the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid's leaves suddenly trembled lightly, as if they were blown by the wind.    

However, it only trembled and did not show any signs of falling leaves.    

"What's going on? Why aren't the leaves falling?"    

The red sparrow said anxiously and doubtfully.    

Yang Xuan frowned and pondered for a while. Then he suddenly realized something and said, "I understand. It's because the light is not strong enough. If you want these seven leaves to fall off, you just need to take them outside and let the sun shine on them."    

"Then let's not delay any longer. We have to leave this place as soon as possible!"    

The red sparrow said hastily.    

Yang Xuan held the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid in his hand and started walking towards the exit of the cave with Red Sparrow.    

After walking for about ten meters, a strange smell suddenly hit them.    

This smell was very special. It was neither the fragrance nor the smell. It was a smell similar to metal that had just been scraped off. It was very strange.    

"Wait!"    

Yang Xuan suddenly thought of something and quickly raised his hand to stop the red sparrow.    

The red sparrow was puzzled and asked, "What happened? What's the smell?"    

Yang Xuan didn't speak immediately. His face looked serious. After a few seconds, he said slowly, "If I'm not wrong, the third checkpoint has appeared."    

"Huh?"    

The red sparrow quickly made a defensive posture. It looked around vigilantly and said, "Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Furthermore, I don't sense anything unusual either."    

Yang Xuan shook his head gently and said, "It's a feeling. My intuition tells me that danger is approaching."    

"Then what should we do now?"    

The red sparrow seemed especially anxious.    

Yang Xuan pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Continue forward, act according to the situation!"    

It was not a problem for the two of them to stay where they were. Furthermore, Yang Xuan's sense of danger was only intuition, and he did not know what danger was.    

He could only be sure that the third checkpoint had appeared, but he did not know exactly what it was, but he could not stay where he was. The only choice he had was to continue forward.    

No matter what the third checkpoint looked like, he had to wait for it to appear before he knew what it was.    

The two of them vigilantly observed their surroundings while slowing down their footsteps and carefully moving forward.    

Just as they were about to approach the cave, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.    

That figure had its back facing the two of them as it sat cross-legged on the ground. It looked especially wide and tall, and just by sitting at a height, it could almost reach the chest of an adult.    

This figure was wearing a tattered black cloak, and it could only be seen that he had a human shape, but nothing else.    

"What is this thing? It looks like a human, but humans are not that tall, right? If it stands up, it should be at least three meters tall."    

The red sparrow stared at the thing and cautiously said.    

Yang Xuan also frowned slightly. There were many tall people in this world, but the highest record of humans in this world was only 2.5 meters.    

As for the figure sitting cross-legged in front of him, when he stood up, he was estimated to be at least 3 meters tall.    

The strangest thing was that Yang Xuan did not sense the other party's breathing or heartbeat at all.    

In other words, this thing in front of him was most likely not a human, but an unknown monster with the outline of a human!    

Yang Xuan and the red sparrow did not dare to act rashly.    

However, the back of the figure did not move at all. It sat there with its back facing the two of them, like a statue.    

Both sides remained in a stalemate for about five minutes, but there was still no sign of movement.    

"Use your Fire Spike to test it out!"    

Yang Xuan made a decision without hesitation.    

After saying that, Yang Xuan gently placed the Seven Leaf Golden Orchid on the ground, then slightly bent his palm and circulated his true qi to condense at his wrist.    

Once that thing reacted, Yang Xuan would immediately launch the fiercest attack!    

The red sparrow held its breath and concentrated. It closed its palms and extended its pinky and index finger, while the other three fingers bent.    

With the guidance of the vital energy in its body, a fiery red light appeared on the red sparrow's body and quickly gathered towards its Dantian.    

The red sparrow exerted force in its palms and a cluster of flames burned at the tip of its fingers.    

Under the circulation of the Red Sparrow's zhenqi, this cluster of flame began to spin rapidly. And... It shrank at an extreme speed, and finally formed a fire thorn as thick as an embroidery needle. With a flick of the Vermilion Bird's finger, it suddenly flew towards the back of the figure. It drew a shadow in the air, like a shooting star.    

This Fire Thorn was the most penetrative move of the Burning Flame Arts that the Vermilion Bird cultivated. If it was unleashed with 100% of its power, even Yang Xuan would not be able to resist it.    

However, the only drawback was that this move required a long time to prepare before it was launched. In a real battle, the opponent definitely wouldn't give such a long time to prepare.    

Therefore, this Fire Thorn of the Red Sparrow was almost useless in a real battle.    

However, in the face of such a motionless object, the Fire Spike with extremely strong penetrative power was the best killing move!    

At the same time, Yang Xuan's aura of the Heavenly Dragon Art also began to fluctuate. He was ready to launch his most ferocious attack at the humanoid monster at any time!    

Zzzt!    

The fire spike accurately struck the center of the back of the humanoid monster at an extremely fast speed.    

Following a small wisp of smoke, the human-shaped monster suddenly moved. It made a metallic sound as if a robot was moving!
