Chapter 961: Striking Xu Fu
Chapter 961: Striking Xu Fu
September 25, 2017
Qin Shi Huang's Tomb, the third target location within Lu HaiKong's palace.
While it is unfortunate to have found the Elixir of Immortality, the boss in front of him seems a bit tricky.
Lu HaiKong had just finished setting up his tactics and was about to personally attract Xu Fu's attention to lure him out and engage in battle.
However, before Lu HaiKong could take action, a voice filled with the essence of stone resonated: "Don't bother. I won't leave the Elixir of Immortality within five meters. If you want it, it's simple—kill me, and it's yours!"
As the voice spoke, the terracotta warrior in front of Lu HaiKong revealed a mocking smile, a very human-like expression. It was clear that the boss had acquired human-level intelligence, and even more apparent was Lu HaiKong's slight oversight.
Lu HaiKong had not expected the boss to possess such high intelligence, and in one sentence, his purpose was completely exposed.
Watching Lu HaiKong's slight hesitation, Xu Fu's smile became more relaxed, and the mocking intent deepened. The boss took a few steps back, directly positioning himself two meters away from the jade pillar.
"I sense that the item in your hand is quite formidable. However, I guess its attack range is not small, right? If I stand here, while you strike me, the Elixir of Immortality will be destroyed, right? I don't believe you want to see the Elixir of Immortality destroyed, do you?"
Lu HaiKong looked at the terracotta warrior in front of him, a hint of surprise on his face. To be honest, Lu HaiKong felt a bit awkward at this moment.
Although the previous Zhang Han had shown considerable human-like behavior, compared to the boss in front of him, Zhang Han's intelligence was not on the same level. The boss, if not for his stone body, would be no different from a living human.
Being threatened by such a being, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but feel awkward.
However, as Lu HaiKong looked at the terracotta warrior, while feeling awkward, he was also contemplating something in his mind. He wondered if he should focus on cultivating stone skills when he returned home.
The last time Lu HaiKong was in the Domain of Foreign City, he had obtained the Stone Master's legacy.
"What's wrong? Why are you standing there? If you don't want to destroy the Elixir of Immortality, listen to me—put down the item in your hand, or else..."
Xu Fu's words were cut off before they could finish, as Lu HaiKong suddenly interrupted with a mysterious sentence.
Xu Fu was caught off guard by Lu HaiKong's unexpected words, and his stone face revealed a fleeting emotion as he said: "You... what are you saying... Put down the item in your hand..."
As Xu Fu responded, Lu HaiKong's eyes remained fixed on him, observing his every movement and facial expression. After Xu Fu's reply, Lu HaiKong smiled.
"Indeed, you are nervous. But what are you nervous about? Are you worried about the Elixir of Immortality being taken by me? Or are you worried about losing your life?"
As Lu HaiKong spoke, his gaze remained on Xu Fu, carefully observing his every move and subtle facial expressions.
At this moment, Xu Fu's situation was slightly different. It seemed that Lu HaiKong's guess was right. Xu Fu's stone face showed a subtle shift, and his stone eyes began to move, rolling like stone beads, creating a soft sound. After Lu HaiKong's words, this sound was the only thing left.
The appearance of this sound seemed to represent Xu Fu's nervousness.
In fact, Lu HaiKong's guess was correct. The boss in front of him, although possessing human-level intelligence, also had some emotional defects. This terracotta warrior, unexpectedly, was afraid of death.
Lu HaiKong was indeed insightful, and in one glance, he saw the boss's weakness and took advantage of it. Don't be fooled by Xu Fu's initial threats—this boss, in this copy, had hardly any opportunity to interact with humans. With just a few words, he was already intimidated.
However, Xu Fu's vigilance was quite strong. The boss only lost focus for a moment before quickly reacting.
His quick response allowed him to notice Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, who had quietly approached during his moment of distraction.
"You're tricking me!"
Xu Fu, not understanding the situation, immediately became furious. He took a few steps back, maintaining a distance of one and a half meters from the jade pillar.
"Slightly unfortunate."
Lu HaiKong glanced at Xu Fu, who was still about ten meters away. Huang Zhong and Dian Wei's faces showed a hint of regret.
"Good, good. What a cunning human. You're tricking me, but your plan is exposed. I won't leave the Elixir of Immortality."
Chapter: The Immortal Tomb's Secret
In the ancient ruins of the Immortal Tomb, a hidden chamber revealed itself, bathed in a pure white light. The once-crumbling palace now stood intact, a stark contrast to its previous state. Lu HaiKong, the protagonist, was not alone; his trusted companion, Dian Wei, stood by his side.
Lu HaiKong's eyes darted towards the chamber's center, where a bottle of elixir, glowing with a golden aura, caught his attention. Without a moment's hesitation, Lu HaiKong strode forward, his mind set on claiming the elixir.
"You think you can stop me, old man?" Lu HaiKong's words echoed through the chamber, a challenge directed at the ancient guardian, Xu Fu. Xu Fu's stone-like face showed a rare flicker of tension and helplessness, but his lips curved into a mocking smile, "Do you really think I can't handle you if you don't come out?"
Xu Fu's expression changed, a vivid display of fear and suspicion on his stony visage. "Let me tell you, I never cared if you knew my plan from the start!"
As Lu HaiKong spoke, a domineering aura emanated from him, a sign of his true power awakening. "Ba Ze Wu Shuang!"
With that battle cry, Lu HaiKong's martial prowess surged, his strength reaching new heights. The two legendary warriors, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, felt their powers amplified, reaching a hundred points. However, Xu Fu, the stone guardian, experienced a sudden drop in his strength, falling to 96 points. This unexpected turn of events left Xu Fu's stony face contorted with fear.
In that moment, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong sprang into action, rushing towards Xu Fu.
Lu HaiKong, sensing the danger, raised his arms, preparing to use his martial skills. But Xu Fu, the stone guardian, had a hidden attribute—within the range of his martial prowess, any martial skill used by friend or foe would be severely suppressed.
Xu Fu's skill was suppressed, and before he could react, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong's combined attack sent him flying.
"Boss, you won't get away with this!" Lu HaiKong's voice boomed, his eyes fixed on Xu Fu.
With a dazzling spinning kick, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong struck Xu Fu simultaneously, their combined might sending him soaring through the air.
The two legendary warriors, with their strength surpassing a hundred points, unleashed their attacks, creating a devastating impact.
Xu Fu, caught off guard, was sent flying hundreds of meters away, his body already showing signs of fine cracks.
As Huang Zhong and Dian Wei prepared to retrieve the elixir, a transparent shield enveloped Xu Fu, protecting him. At that moment, Lu HaiKong received a system notification.
"Attention: In this special environment, the guardian Xu Fu's Stone Guardian ability prevents you from obtaining the Elixir of Immortality before defeating him. You cannot acquire the Elixir of Immortality!"
"As expected, the Elixir of Immortality is not something I can just take!" Lu HaiKong anticipated this, and with a swift move, he activated the Heaven's Eye Talisman in his hand.
Instantly, a dazzling green hand appeared, grasping Xu Fu, who had been sent flying by Dian Wei and Huang Zhong.
Xu Fu, despite being thrown by the two warriors, was no longer suppressed by Lu HaiKong's Ba Ze Wu Shuang. In that moment, Lu HaiKong's ultimate skill unleashed, radiating an aura of destruction.
However, Xu Fu was a step ahead, and as Lu HaiKong's power surged, he was already caught in a powerful grip.
"Congratulations on defeating Xu Fu, the Stone Guardian Boss! You have obtained the Elixir of Immortality!"
"Congratulations on defeating Xu Fu, the Stone Guardian Boss! You have obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest!"
As Lu HaiKong defeated Xu Fu, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei immediately retrieved the elixir. Lu HaiKong, upon seeing the Elixir of Immortality, felt a sense of relief, and with a swift movement, he collected the spoils of battle.
After gathering the treasures, Lu HaiKong and Dian Wei turned to leave, and another system notification sounded.
"Due to your defeat of the Xu Fu, the Stone Guardian Boss, your evaluation has increased. The previous rewards are canceled, and new rewards are being calculated."
"Due to your defeat of the Xu Fu, the Stone Guardian Boss, you have completed the Immortal Tomb's mission. You will be transmitted to a special instance space, awaiting the new Immortal Tomb's rewards!"
Two consecutive system messages played, and Lu HaiKong paused, his surroundings transforming.
At that moment, the crumbling palace, which had been slowly being destroyed, was now replaced by a pristine white instance space.
Not only was Lu HaiKong present, but all his subordinates had also arrived, indicating the end of their journey through the Immortal Tomb.
However, Lu HaiKong did not relax completely, as he had yet to personally witness the power of the Elixir of Immortality. He needed to see it work to truly believe it.
As soon as they entered the white instance space, Lu HaiKong wasted no time, finding Dian Wei and taking the Elixir of Immortality from him.
Lu HaiKong's golden eyes flashed, and he immediately appraised the elixir, his martial prowess analyzing its attributes.
The attributes revealed, and the words 'Failed Elixir of Immortality' appeared first, almost causing Lu HaiKong to spit blood in shock...
