After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

However, no sooner had Jin Gang the Fourth finished speaking than the figure that had been motionless suddenly stepped out, emerging from the pillar of light in an instant.

Jin Gang Lao Si's fierce expression froze on his face. Before his eyes, a tall figure wearing silver armor stood backlit, his entire body bathed in dazzling light.

However, its face was shrouded in a thick shadow, as black as ink, like a black hole with no end in sight.

Both Jin Gang the Fourth and the middle-aged man could not see the figure's face clearly, but judging from the style of the armor on the figure, it definitely did not belong to any of the five kingdoms in the world today.

Seeing this, Jin Gang the Fourth and the middle-aged man exchanged glances, hesitating whether to attack or retreat, when the silver-armored figure raised his hand and grabbed at the two of them from afar.

Jin Gang and Lao Si were both top-tier martial arts masters in the Jianghu. Sensing something, they immediately launched a swift and decisive counterattack.

Jin Gang Lao Si's golden aura instantly converged into the divine weapon hammer in his hand, and a huge golden hammer phantom suddenly solidified, like a hammer falling from the sky with an aura heavier than ten thousand tons, and smashed straight down on the silver-armored figure.

The middle-aged man also spared no effort, and with a wave of his hand, countless hidden blades fell like arrows, completely engulfing the figure that emerged from the pillar of light.

However, the scene from before, where Jin Gang the Fourth had attacked, happened again; the two men's attacks failed to penetrate the silver-armored figure.

Neither the giant hammer nor the sharp blade could harm it in the slightest, as if it were merely an illusion without substance, and all attacks had no effect on it.

In an instant, both Jin Gang the Fourth and the middle-aged man's expressions became solemn.

"What's going on? What exactly is this thing?"

Jin Gang, the fourth brother, spoke with a gloomy look in his eyes, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately looked down.

But then, the divine weapon hammer obtained from the White Emperor's Tomb suddenly began to emit bursts of black energy, and strange incantations began to appear on the surface of the hammer.

The incantations swirled with a chilling aura, like icy black snakes climbing up his palm and onto his arm.

Upon seeing this, Jin Gang Lao Si was terrified and immediately mobilized the vast martial arts true energy within his dantian to suppress and dispel the incantation within the divine weapon hammer.

Even though he reacted with lightning speed, once the hammer was in his hand, he couldn't simply shake it off.

The incantations had silently seeped into his body the moment Jin Gang Lao Si obtained the hammer, connecting him to it without his knowledge.

As the silver-armored figure raised his hand towards the two, he had already unknowingly activated the incantation. The moment the incantation appeared on the hammer, they were already deeply trapped in the curse and unable to extricate themselves!
At this moment, Jin Gang the Fourth and the middle-aged man, who had already realized what was happening, suddenly looked up at the silver-armored figure under the pillar of light with a look of shock and anger.

The tall figure stood in mid-air, his face like a deep black hole, still raising his hand to grab the two of them from afar, but made no other move.

No matter what martial arts skills the two used to try to remove the curses from the treasures they had obtained from the city, it had no effect.

Instead, those dark and chilling incantations were spreading towards their bodies at a visible speed, eventually attaching to and invading their entire bodies! Seeing this, the middle-aged man calmed down and, without the slightest hesitation, resolutely used his martial arts true energy to directly shatter the arm holding the treasure into a bloody mist.

He intended to use this method to isolate himself from the corrosive influence of the eerie incantation. After he sacrificed an arm, the chilling incantation did indeed fall to the ground along with the treasure. Apart from the bloody mess on his shoulder, there were no more incantations attached to it.

When Jin Gang, the fourth brother, saw that this method was effective, he immediately followed suit and cut off his arm to save his life, his face grim.

After all, they had only belatedly realized that the so-called divine weapons and treasures that had appeared in the tomb of the White Emperor were all problematic. If they hesitated and made a decision when they shouldn't, they would surely perish here!

Having done all this, although both of them had lost an arm, they had stopped the strange curse from eroding them, and they were undoubtedly relieved.

However, at this moment, the two men's faces were extremely ugly, their eyes fixed on the silver-armored figure who remained motionless and raised his hand to grab them from afar, their anger beyond measure!

"How dare you scheme against your grandpa! Today I'll deal with this inhuman, ghostly thing first, then smash the entire tomb to pieces!"

Having suffered such a major setback, Jin Gang the Fourth was already furious. After stopping the bleeding on his arm, he moved and suddenly charged directly at the silver-armored figure.

In his view, since the martial arts divine skill and true energy were useless against the opponent, he would use his physical body and fists to blast this thing into dust.

If hand-to-hand combat is ineffective, then he will have to think of another way: to join forces with other martial arts masters to destroy the White Emperor's Tomb in front of him!
After all, Jin Gang the Fourth wasn't stupid. With so many treasures suddenly appearing in this underground city, it wouldn't take much effort for these martial arts masters to obtain them, even if there were some obstacles.

According to his calculations, the martial arts masters who had accompanied him earlier probably possessed at least one divine weapon or treasure, and some of them likely obtained more than one treasure from the tomb.

Therefore, the others have probably also fallen into the trap set by the White Emperor's Tomb. When the time comes, everyone will unite against the common enemy and surely be able to vent his hatred!
However, although Jin Gang the Fourth had good ideas, the actual situation was not as he wished.

Just as he and the middle-aged man were about to attack the silver-armored figure in front of the pillar of light, an unexpected event occurred.

The figure in silver armor suddenly let out a chilling laugh, and said in a sinister tone:
"Foolish man, do you really think that the King's 'Great Curse' can be lifted so easily?"

As the voice of the silver-armored figure rang out, Jin Gang Lao Si and the middle-aged man instantly felt an extremely ominous premonition.

At the same time, the silver-armored figure casually grabbed something, and two beams of light from the pillar of light behind him split off and shone directly on the two of them.

The next moment, Jin Gang the Fourth and the middle-aged man seemed to sense something.

Looking down abruptly, they discovered that the hammer and treasures they had previously abandoned after losing their arms were suddenly surrounded by a surge of black energy. The strange incantations grew wildly like vines, surging and wrapping around the two of them.

Seeing this, Jin Gang the Fourth and the middle-aged man instinctively tried to flee and hide, but the two, illuminated by the multicolored beams of light, felt as if their bodies were filled with lead, making movement extremely difficult! (End of Chapter)
