Chapter 639 The Mysterious Woman in Black!
Chapter 639 The Mysterious Woman in Black!
At the top of the platform, in front of the pavilion.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
The pavilion was not large, only three zhang square, and was built entirely of golden lightning-struck wood. It was covered with dense lightning runes, and its interior was filled with precious light, with bursts of pure lightning power emanating from it.
Everyone knew that the complete Thunder Emperor Scripture was in this pavilion, but no one dared to go forward.
Because at that moment, Shi Hao and the others were standing outside that pavilion.
Previously, Shi Hao single-handedly swept away all challengers on the arena, and even Di Chong, the successor of the Immortal Palace, died at his hands.
Such a record is enough to instill fear in anyone.
Moreover, Lin Dong, Luo Feng, and others are standing behind him.
Although these people are not as dazzling as Shi Hao, none of them are easy to deal with.
What's even more worrying is...
Behind these people stands an even more terrifying entity.
Zhu Chen.
That man who killed more than a dozen members of the Demon Dragon Sect with a wave of his hand outside Tianyuan City, and who even Qin Changsheng had to give some face to.
Who would dare touch his brothers?
"Damn it... Are we just going to stand by and watch them take the Thunder Emperor's Scripture?"
One of the original players clenched his fists in resentment, gritting his teeth and muttering under his breath.
Someone nearby chuckled wryly and continued, "What else? You go up and fight them for it? Di Chong's body isn't even cold yet."
Upon hearing this, the man's face stiffened, and he was immediately speechless.
At this moment, another first generation suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it, we've already had a stroke of luck to get this far. That Thunder Emperor Scripture... is not something we can covet."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately fell silent.
Although they were extremely unwilling, they had no choice but to accept their fate.
After all, they have no say in the face of absolute power!
Ignoring the gazes of those behind him, Shi Hao strode toward the pavilion.
However, just as he approached the pavilion, Han Li suddenly called out to him, "Brother Shi Hao, wait a moment."
Shi Hao paused, turned around and looked at Han Li: "Brother Han, what's wrong?"
Han Li did not speak, but took out a scroll of scripture wrapped in lightning from his storage bag.
This is the first part of the Thunder Emperor Scripture that they found earlier.
At this moment, the light emanating from the scripture grew ever brighter, as if it resonated with something in the attic.
"This is……"
Shi Hao's eyes lit up, as if he understood something.
Han Li handed him the bone fragment directly and said in a deep voice, "The first part is sensing the second part. There should be something responding to it in that pavilion."
Shi Hao took the bone fragment and indeed felt a faint force coming from the pavilion, which was pulling the bone fragment in his hand.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a moment.
Then, he opened his eyes and looked at a futon in the center of the attic.
"The second part of the scripture is under that meditation cushion."
Shi Hao looked at a futon inside the pavilion and said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately became excited: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get it!"
However, Shi Hao shook his head at this moment: "Now is not the time."
He turned around and shouted to the upper realm cultivators standing at the edge of the platform: "Everyone, I am determined to obtain this Thunder Emperor Scripture. If any of you are not convinced, you are welcome to come and fight me."
The entire room fell silent instantly.
No one answered him, and no one dared to move.
The faces of those first-generation prodigies were ashen, their fists clenched, yet not a single one stepped forward. Lin Dong looked at them and couldn't help but sneer, "Weren't these people running around quite fast down there? How come they've all become mute now?"
Luo Feng laughed and said, "They're not mute, they're just scared."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong burst into laughter, his laughter filled with disdain.
The cultivators from the upper realms blushed with embarrassment at his laughter, yet none of them dared to refute him.
Because they knew that what Lin Dong said was true.
They've definitely chickened out now.
Shi Hao waited for a while, and seeing that no one would accept the challenge, he stopped paying attention to it.
He turned around and strode towards the pavilion.
However, just as he entered the pavilion, a dense surge of lightning power suddenly rushed towards him.
Shi Hao took a deep breath without making a sound, directly absorbing all that power into his body.
Then, he raised his hand and decisively offered up the first part of the scripture in his hand!
"Sizzle!"
The scriptures emitted dazzling lightning in the air, which struck the prayer mat, causing it to slowly rise and reveal another scripture below.
"It's the Thunder Emperor's Scripture!"
A voice rang out from the crowd, filled with excitement, but still no one dared to move.
Shi Hao ignored it, stretched out his hand and gently beckoned, and the scripture turned into a stream of light and disappeared into his hand.
"It's done."
Shi Hao's lips curled up slightly.
Then, he turned his gaze to a precious bone on the top of the prayer mat.
This precious bone has been floating above this futon.
Since the scriptures of the Thunder Emperor are sealed beneath this futon.
Therefore, this precious bone, which was stored together with the Thunder Emperor Scripture, must not be some kind of trash.
However, just as Shi Hao was about to take the precious bone away as well, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the void, like a ghost, and instantly swept past the futon, snatching the precious bone into his hand.
Shi Hao's expression changed, and he reached out to grab it, but only caught a fleeting afterimage.
"who!"
Lin Dong roared and threw a punch.
But the shadowy figure moved with uncanny speed, easily dodging Lin Dong's attack before landing on the edge of the platform.
Only then did everyone realize that it was a woman dressed in a black robe.
The other person's face was covered by a black veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, but her figure was extremely voluptuous.
"Who are you?"
Shi Hao stared at her coldly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
However, the woman in black robes was not afraid at all. Instead, she gave him a flirtatious wink and said with a smile, "Little brother Shi Hao, don't be nervous... I'm your older brother's friend, I won't hurt you."
Shi Hao was stunned: "My older brother? Zhu Chen's older brother?"
The woman in black nodded, waved the precious bone in her hand, and smiled, "You've already obtained the Thunder Emperor Scripture, so I'll take this one. Once I've comprehended the precious techniques within, I'll return it to you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other person's figure also disappeared from the spot.
Lin Dong instinctively wanted to give chase, but Han Li stopped him: "Big Brother is naturally a womanizer. He might really have something to do with women. Let's not chase after him yet. Let's ask Big Brother what's going on..."
“That makes sense. I’ll go ask my older brother now…”
Lin Dong nodded, then immediately opened the chat group and sent a message to Zhu Chen:
[Lin Dong: Big brother, are you watching our live stream? Was that woman your friend? If not, I'll go get that precious bone right now!]
