Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2461 Kendo

Li Ji and Ying Baoyue stood side by side at the entrance of the underground palace.

Just as the iron door behind them closed, lights suddenly lit up on both sides of the road in front of them, one after another, leading to the dark interior.

Deep in the deep underground palace, there is a long avenue with a silvery luster.

Ying Baoyue's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked carefully, she realized that it was not mercury, but a sharp sword.

On both sides of the sword-paved avenue, tall pillars stood, each as thick as two people hugging each other, with ferocious mythical beasts hovering above them.

At first glance, they look like statues of the Eight Beast Gods, but if you look closely, you will see that the images of each beast god are different from those seen on ordinary occasions. Their eyes are ferocious, their claws are sharp, and you can even see blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. They are clearly evil spirits. What it looks like afterwards.

"These statues are..."

Li Ji looked at the statues of beast gods with teeth and claws, and his eyes rested on a giant pillar with a coiled dragon. There was a giant black dragon coiled on it, and every scale was carved lifelike. But the dragon had its mouth wide open, and there was a bloody thing in its mouth. If you look closely, it turned out to be a human head!

Li Ji's pupils shrank and he instinctively touched his waist, but found nothing.

The weapons of the two of them were put into space magic weapons before they entered the palace in disguise.

"Aji, don't look!"

Ying Baoyue grabbed the corner of Li Ji's clothes and said, "That's just a wooden statue."

Li Ji calmed down and realized that the head was also carved from wood. But the statue was so real that he seemed to be able to see from the wooden head the despair of a person who had their head chewed off before death.

"These are evil gods."

Ying Baoyue pressed Li Ji's chest and took a step back, "Don't ever look at the statue on the pillar."

Although it is just a statue, it has an unusual meaning for the gods. You never know whether what you are looking at is a statue of a god or the deity itself.

"I know," Li Ji took a deep breath and looked at the strange underground palace in front of him, "What should I do, go in?"

Both of them knew that this was a game. This was both inviting you to fall into a trap, and also throwing yourself into a trap.

"We have no choice but to move forward."

Ying Baoyue glanced at the closed iron door behind her. From the moment she discovered that Chu Yan was being controlled, she knew that her and Li Ji's whereabouts had long been known.

Originally, she hoped to at least allow Li Ji to escape, but since she couldn't do it, there was no use regretting now.

Ying Baoyue raised her head and looked at the green lanterns that were lighting up one after another. These lanterns were like guides to hell.

"The other party is inviting us in."

Li Ji took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go."

If you don't enter a tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son.

This time was different from nine years ago. He would not let Ying Baoyue go down this road alone under any circumstances.

At this point, the disguise was useless. The two of them tore off the human skin masks on their faces. Li Ji reached into his arms and took out the space magic weapon. "Which sword do you want?"

Ying Baoyue had two swords placed with him, one was the Sunset Sword and the other was the Red Lotus Sword.

Since her rebirth, she has actually used the Sunset Sword more often. Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment and said, "Give me both."

Li Ji took out the sword from the magic weapon and handed it to Ying Baoyue. At the same time, he also took out another thing.

This thing was wrapped in layers of cloth, and it was the scabbard of the Tai'a Sword.

Ying Baoyue's eyes trembled slightly, "No need for this yet. I'd better leave it here first."

Li Ji frowned, "Hold the moon..."

The scabbard of Tai'a Sword can help the wearer resist the attacks of heaven-level practitioners, and it should be taken out in such dangerous situations.

"I'm worried that this thing will lead to the real Tai'a sword." Ying Baoyue looked around the underground palace, "Don't forget, the sword was not found."

The location of this place is very special, it is under the main hall of Afang Palace.

With such a large and magnificent underground palace, Ying Baoyue could not imagine that this was the inside of a crypt in a Zen courtyard.

But if it wasn't brought by the Zen Yuan, it can only mean that this underground palace was already here before the Zen Yuan arrived. So when did this underground palace, which has almost the same internal structure as Emperor Taizu's imperial mausoleum, come here? And who built it?

Ying Baoyue had a guess in her mind, but she didn't dare to think about it.

She could only get closer to the truth step by step.

"Then let's go."

Li Ji reluctantly accepted Ying Baoyue's reasons and put the Tai'a Sword scabbard back into his arms. The two looked at each other and walked hand in hand onto the bright silver road in front of them.

The sharp swords clattered under their feet, and they quickly reached the end of the previously lit lantern.

Then the lanterns on the pillars only lit up when they came closer. The road two steps away was completely dark and they couldn't see ahead.

The air around him was stagnant and heavy, and no sound could be heard.

The two of them walked in the darkness, as if they were walking in a mist.

In this case, people will lose their perception of time and distance, and they will not know how big the space is.

The uneasiness in Ying Baoyue's heart became deeper and deeper. She stretched out her hand to hold the hilt of the Red Lotus Sword at her waist. She wanted to light the sword fire, but because she could not mobilize her true energy, the scabbard of the Red Lotus Sword only flashed red. The light went out.

When they unveiled their disguise, she and Li Ji actually wanted to remove the golden needle sealing the acupoints first, but just when they were about to pull out the needle, Ying Baoyue suddenly felt like she was being spied on.

The practitioners whose acupuncture points have been sealed are most vulnerable when they pull out the needles. The two of them are completely trapped in the enemy's territory at this time. It may be even more dangerous if they rashly pull out the needles and expose the whole body.

Now I can only try to force the golden needles out of the acupuncture points during battle.

Ying Baoyue was already prepared to press the needle if a fight broke out. But the question is, who is she going to fight?

So far, no opponent has appeared.

The scariest thing is always the unknown.

What's even more frightening is that as she continues to move forward, hallucinations gradually appear in Ying Baoyue's mind.

Pictures she had never seen before emerged in her mind.

Looking at the darkness ahead that seemed to never end, Ying Baoyue suddenly stopped.

"Baoyue, what's wrong?"

Li Ji, who was holding her hand, was startled and looked at the girl beside him.

"Aji, I seem to have... walked this road."

Ying Baoyue murmured.

"What did you say?"

Li Ji was stunned and had goosebumps all over his body, "Have you ever been to this place?"

"I don't know, it's just..."

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes wide and looked at the road in front of her, as if she was dreaming.

In the dream, she was wearing clothes that did not belong to her, holding a lantern, and walking alone on such a road paved with swords.

He walked farther and farther until he was completely drowned in darkness.

"Baoyue, you..."

Li Ji looked at the people around him and felt horrified. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, when all the lanterns in front of the two of them suddenly lit up.

"Princess Baoyue, Lord Zhaohua, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A cold sound came from above the two of them.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
