Every ti he thought about the golden light up ahead, which emanated from a Divine Artifact, Murong Kang could barely contain his excitent. His figure hurriedly flew towards the light, even leaving Tiant Qingqing—who had just said that "everything in life is of utmost importance"—far behind.
"This senior brother!" Watching Murong Kang rush ahead without waiting for her, Tiant Qingqing stamped her foot and quickly followed.
"Divine Artifact! Divine Artifact! Divine Artifact!" The closer Murong Kang got to the golden light, the more excited and agitated he beca. His face broke into a smile, and his body trembled with excitent as he accelerated his speed even further.
Close behind, Yue Shaochong’s figure flew out from the passageway’s entrance and entered a space filled with golden hues!
"What’s this?" Murong Kang ca to an abrupt stop, looking down beneath him. At this mont, below him was a lake as calm as any other, except its waters were golden, like molten gold, emanating a dazzling golden glow!
The golden light they had just seen in the passageway was the glow from this lake’s Golden Water. "This..."
Just then, Tiant Qingqing also arrived and ca to a halt beside Murong Kang, looking down at the golden lake below.
"How beautiful!" Tiant Qingqing exclaid as she gazed at the shimring golden surface of the lake.
Tiant Qingqing’s words woke the slightly stunned Murong Kang at her side. Once again, a smile spread across his face as he turned to Tiant Qingqing and said, "Junior Sister, this Golden Water must be extraordinary! Perhaps with it, we could enhance our Cultivation Level!"
"But..." Hearing Murong Kang’s words, Tiant Qingqing began to worry again, saying, "Senior Brother, although the water looks extraordinary, I fear that entering it could be life-threatening!"
"It shouldn’t be!" Although Murong Kang said "shouldn’t" to Tiant Qingqing, the conviction on his face told everyone else it was "absolutely not" possible!
"But still..." Tiant Qingqing felt uneasy in her heart, but as soon as she uttered "but still," Murong Kang interrupted her with an impatient deanor:
"Junior Sister, don’t say anymore! If you’re scared, I’ll go down first. After you see I’m alright, then you can enter the Golden Water."
Upon hearing Murong Kang’s words, Tiant Qingqing fell silent. Having grown up with him since they were young, she understood him well and knew it was pointless to try and persuade him further.
However, Tiant Qingqing was still worried. Who knew if the Golden Water was poisonous! It was at this mont, in an inadvertent glance, that Tiant Qingqing suddenly caught sight of a black figure in the distance.
Upon seeing this figure, Tiant Qingqing promptly called out to Murong Kang, "Senior Brother, look over there quickly!"
"Hmm?" Murong Kang, who was just about to plunge into the Golden Water, paused at Tiant Qingqing’s shout and looked in the direction she was pointing.
At that mont, Murong Kang saw that indeed there was soone in the distance, clad in black. The person appeared young, no more than fifteen or sixteen years of age, with closed eyes and the lower half of his body subrged in the Golden Water.
Next to the youth on the surface of the golden water stood a Black Iron Greatsword about the width of two arms!
"Who is this person?" When Murong Kang caught sight of the young man, his brow furrowed slightly. The youth looked young, but Murong Kang couldn’t sense what Realm in Martial Arts he belonged to!
This was enough to demonstrate that the seemingly young youth possessed a Martial Arts Realm that surpassed even a One-star Martial Venerable like himself.
"Junior Sister, look!" At this mont, Murong Kang pointed towards the youth in black in the distance and said to Tiant Qingqing beside him:
"Half of his body has already entered the Golden Water, yet he is completely unhard. Furthermore, despite his youth, we cannot discern his realm, which is sufficient to prove that he is much stronger than us.
It’s very likely that this person has made use of the Golden Water below!"
As Murong Kang uttered the last sentence, his voice and face were filled with conviction.
And when Tiant Qingqing saw that the person had indeed half subrged in the Golden Water, she also felt much more at ease and nodded to Murong Kang.
However, at this mont, Murong Kang and Tiant Qingqing suddenly saw that the distant youth in black opened his closed eyes abruptly and looked towards them.
At that instant, Murong Kang and Tiant Qingqing felt as if they had suddenly beco the target of a fierce beast, experiencing a bone-chilling coldness all over. The youth, with just a glance, was able to affect them so significantly!
The expression of the youth in black amidst the Golden Water was cold and grim, his eyes when looking at Murong Kang and Tiant Qingqing, were already filled with icy killing intent. Subsequently, they saw his right hand form a Sword Finger gesture and casually point!
A potent killing aura swept out in all directions! The golden waters surrounding the youth boiled tumultuously under the influence of that killing aura, as if bubbling vigorously like boiling water.
The Black Iron Greatsword by his side also began to tremble and hum.
"No! This is bad! Senior Brother, let’s get out of here fast!" Seeing the actions of the distant youth and the fluctuations emanating from him, along with the invisible killing intent approaching, Tiant Qingqing urgently shouted to Murong Kang.
That youth in black who had awoken like a fierce beast, had indeed harbored killing intent towards them!
At the sa ti, they saw the Black Iron Greatsword by the youth’s side suddenly vibrate violently, and then shot towards them at high speed!
"Go! Run fast!" Murong Kang, clearly recognizing the danger as well, also shouted anxiously and swiftly flew towards the tunnel they had co from.
"Senior... Senior Brother..." Tiant Qingqing had initially not moved, waiting for Murong Kang so they could escape together, but at that mont, she was shocked to see that her Senior Brother, who had previously declared that "she was everything in his life," didn’t wait for her and had fled first as if flying.
A deep sense of disappointnt erged in Tiant Qingqing’s heart, but she did not stay any longer. She too quickly took off flying to escape, and in an instant, caught up with Murong Kang ahead of her and arrived behind him!
However, at that mont, the Black Iron Greatsword that was flying towards them caught up with an alarming speed that was utterly out of their reach, creating an overwhelming and terrifying force that locked onto them without any possibility of resistance, making their whole bodies tremble.
Murong Kang turned his head abruptly, only to see the Black Iron Greatsword within five ters behind Tiant Qingqing. If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before they were overtaken by the greatsword, and then both of them would die under its formidable blade!
"No! I can’t die! I can’t just die like this! I need to live, I need to beco an unparalleled powerhouse!" Murong Kang inwardly spoke with resentnt, and then his gaze harshened as he looked at Tiant Qingqing’s silhouette and steeled his heart!
