Chapter 257: Evil Sword
Wei Wuxian walked into the tomb and the scene inside came into view. The faint light of the fire illuminated the spacious space.

In the middle stands a huge bronze sarcophagus with mottled patterns on it, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

“Look over there!”

Xie Jiuyou pointed in a direction and said in a deep voice.

In that direction was the ancient bronze coffin, and his eyes revealed a fanaticism.

Wei Wuxian nodded, his eyes also shining.

He walked steadily towards the ancient bronze coffin, and the sound of his footsteps was particularly harsh in the silent environment.

The soldiers behind him followed closely. Zhou Shentong stood a little distance away, looking around with a vigilant look on his face, the heavy sword in his hand also spinning in his palm.

“Your Highness, please be careful!”

Xie Jiuyou hurried forward and placed his large palm on the ancient bronze coffin, feeling that it seemed to contain some powerful power.

Wei Wuxian said nothing, but stretched out his hand to open the ancient bronze coffin.

As his hand touched the ancient bronze coffin, the atmosphere in the entire tomb became tense, as if everything had come to a standstill at this moment.

“Crack!”

The lid of the ancient bronze coffin was pushed open, and a faint red light burst out from the coffin, filling the entire tomb in an instant.

I saw a long sword inlaid with red gems, quietly placed in the ancient coffin. A strange red light was flowing on the sword, as if it were a living thing.

Seeing the long sword, a trace of greed flashed in Wei Wuxian’s eyes, his heartbeat quickened, and his right hand unconsciously reached out for the long sword.

But just as he was about to touch the sword, the blood-red light suddenly surged, like a giant red python, instantly entwining all the monks present.

“what!”

A soldier suddenly screamed in pain, then his body stiffened and he stood there unable to move.

“Your Highness, please do not touch that sword!”

Xie Jiuyou’s face turned pale and he spoke loudly in a hurry.

Wei Wuxian’s face flickered under the red light, full of surprise, and he struggled a little, “What on earth is going on?”

Zhou Shentong also gnashed his teeth at this time, raised his heavy sword, wanted to break free from the restraints, and suddenly shouted: “Get out!”

Zhou Shentong swung the giant sword with all his strength. The sword energy soared into the sky and collided with the star-red light.

Light and shadow intertwined in the tomb, and a deafening crash broke out.

“boom!”

Zhou Shentong’s body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and even the giant sword in his hand had cracks.

Under the cover of the red light, Wei Wuxian’s body seemed to be bound by invisible chains.

His hand was only a fist’s distance away from the sword, but he could hardly move forward an inch.

Wei WuXian’s veins popped out, cold sweat ran down his face, but his eyes were filled with fear.

“No, I have a bright future ahead of me and I don’t want to perish!”

After saying this, the blood-red light swallowed him up.

The next moment, a hair-raising sound was heard, and the blood-red sword was actually held in Wei Wuxian’s hand.

Countless blood threads extended from the blood-red gem on the long sword, binding the hilt tightly to Wei Wuxian’s hand.

“Blood, I want to suck blood!”

A roar came out of Wei Wuxian’s mouth, and he looked at Zhou Shentong and others with bloodshot eyes.

On the other side of the tomb, Wei Hongyue was also in trouble. Her slender hands almost touched the jade pendant in the secret compartment of the ancient coffin. The jade pendant emitted a faint green light.

There was also a trace of evil power, entwined around her like a long snake, trying to pull her into endless darkness.

Just when Wei Hongyue was about to be controlled by the jade pendant in the ancient coffin, she felt a chill at her fingertips, and the air around her seemed to solidify.

At this moment, a strange man suddenly appeared in the tomb and came directly to Wei Hongyue.

“Girl, this jade pendant is an ominous thing!”

Wei Hongyue’s heart suddenly tightened and she turned her head in surprise, only to see a handsome man looking at her nervously, his eyes full of concern.

She instinctively wanted to look away, but the invisible pulling force prevented her from moving away.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng ran straight to the direction where Wei Hongyue was. With just a wave of his hand, a powerful force of law exploded, sweeping across the jade pendant emitting a faint green light like a gust of wind.

The next moment, Chen Changsheng moved again, and a pure and powerful force burst out from his hands.

For a moment, it enveloped the evil jade pendant, and the evil light on the jade pendant shook as if it had been impacted.

It swayed under the suppression of Chen Changsheng’s power, and finally after a struggle, it gradually dimmed and returned to its original appearance.

Wei Hongyue was stunned by the scene before her. She felt the evil power that controlled her dissipate in an instant.

She was also frightened and quickly withdrew her hand. She turned her head to look at the mysterious man with shock and confusion in her eyes.

“who are you?”

Wei Hongyue looked at Chen Changsheng, with a hint of curiosity in her vigilance. After all, how could she not be alert when a strong man suddenly appeared in this tomb full of dangers?

Chen Changsheng did not answer, but confirmed that the jade pendant had indeed been completely suppressed, then turned to look at Wei Hongyue with a bright smile on his face.

“I am Chen Changsheng, who happened to pass by here. I saw the girl in danger, so I came to her rescue!”

Although Chen Changsheng said this, he had actually been waiting here for a long time when he came in from the real entrance.

It seems like such a coincidence of fate, but in fact it was arranged in advance.

In the original novel, Ye Tian, ​​the son of destiny, met Wei Hongyue who was in danger here, and rescued her, thus winning her favor.

It was also because of this that Ye Tian later fought against the people of the Shen Yao Dynasty, was hunted down by the Shen Yao Dynasty, and was almost forced into the Wuji Sea.

Because the imperial tomb of the Great Jin Dynasty was opened ahead of schedule, Chen Changsheng was not sure whether Wei Hongyue would appear here or whether she would be in danger again, but he still waited here.

I didn’t expect to meet him here.

Wei Hongyue was obviously surprised by Chen Changsheng’s appearance. The sword in her hand emitted a cold light, reflecting on his beautiful face.

“Are you the Chen Changsheng?”

Wei Hongyue never thought that she would meet the other party in this way.

The corners of Chen Changsheng’s mouth slightly raised, and under the faint light, the whole person looked extremely elegant.

“Yes, I am Chen Changsheng!”

His tone was like the calm surface of a lake; although it was not rippled, it was hiding a whirlpool.

“It seems that your good brother didn’t tell you the truth!”

Chen Changsheng took a step forward, his figure blending into the mottled light and shadow, and his fingers rubbed lightly on the sword at his waist.

After hearing this, Wei Hongyue’s face suddenly changed, but she quickly recovered. She gradually pointed to the ground and looked at Chen Changsheng with a firm face.

“What exactly do you want to say? Don’t think I will believe you just like this!”
