Chapter 249 The Power of the Secret Treasure
"Who is it?" Zhuang Yu stopped and scanned his surroundings warily before speaking in a low voice.
A cold and sinister aura, like the hiss of a venomous snake, coiled around him, giving him an unprecedented sense of oppression.
This force lurked in the shadows, watching his every move, like a lurking beast, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Despite a slight unease rising in his heart, Zhuang Yu, holding the secret treasure in his hand, was full of confidence.
He felt the power surging from the treasure, warm and strong, flowing through his limbs and bones, making him feel as if he were bathed in sunlight.
An invisible pressure emanated from him, and the surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted by his aura.
"Hmph, playing tricks!" Zhuang Yu sneered, a hint of disdain on his lips.
He stopped waiting passively and took the initiative.
With a thought, the power of the secret treasure formed a shield around his body, radiating a dazzling light.
The light, like the rising sun, dispelled the surrounding gloom and pushed back the cold, prying feeling.
Almost the instant the shield was formed, a dark figure shot out from the void, carrying a sharp killing intent, and rushed straight towards Zhuang Yu.
The dark figure moved with incredible speed, like a ghost, making it difficult to catch.
It brandished its sharp claws, making a piercing sound as it viciously clawed at Zhuang Yu's chest.
However, this attack, powerful enough to tear steel apart, vanished without a trace the moment it touched Zhuang Yu's shield, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
The shield radiated a golden light and was indestructible. The shadow's attack only caused a ripple on it before dissipating into nothingness.
This dark figure is the guardian spirit protecting the old house.
It had guarded the ancient house for thousands of years and had never encountered such a powerful force before, so it couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
It launched another attack, with streaks of black light shooting towards Zhuang Yu like lightning, but all of them were easily blocked by the shield.
"Is that all you've got?" Zhuang Yu looked at the attack that was blocked by the shield and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
He slowly raised his hand, and the light of the treasure in his palm shone even brighter.
"Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The eldest son of the family struggled to his feet and looked at Zhuang Yu, who was enveloped in golden light. "This... how is this possible..." he muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief.
The eldest son of the family looked at Zhuang Yu, who was bathed in golden light, and the flames of jealousy burned fiercely in his eyes.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, but he felt no pain whatsoever.
Why?
How can an unknown kid possess such great power?
He is the eldest son of an ancient family and the heir to the patriarch!
This treasure should have belonged to him in the first place!
The clan patriarch noticed his eldest son's unusual behavior, shook his head slightly, and gestured to him with his eyes not to act rashly.
However, the eldest son, blinded by jealousy, completely ignored his father's warnings.
He roared, his spiritual power surged, and a huge spiritual sword condensed in his hand, carrying a sharp sword aura, which he slashed fiercely down at Zhuang Yu.
"Overestimating yourself!" Zhuang Yu sneered, showing no panic in the face of the eldest son's attack.
The light of the treasure flowed in his hand, forming a golden light shield that blocked all the sword energy.
Then, with a thought, the power of the secret treasure transformed into a dazzling light, shooting straight at the eldest son of the family like an arrow released from a bow.
The eldest son of the family only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes, and then a tremendous force sent him flying.
He fell to the ground in a sorry state, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
He stared at Zhuang Yu in disbelief, never imagining that he would be defeated so easily.
Zhuang Yu slowly walked towards the eldest son of the family, looking down at him with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"You think you can challenge me? How laughable," he said coldly, his tone full of disdain.
The clan patriarch's face darkened as he saw his son defeated, and he was secretly furious.
He glanced at the Shadow Demon standing to the side, "Looks like we'll have to think of another way..." he said in a low voice, a hint of coldness in his tone.
The Shadow Demon smiled coldly, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes...
The Shadow Demon's cold gaze remained fixed on Zhuang Yu, and the sight of the family's eldest son being easily defeated filled him with secret delight.
The power of the treasure is obvious; if we could seize it…
Shadow Fiend licked his chapped lips, a surge of greedy desire welling up within him.
He secretly mobilized his spiritual power, and a chilling aura condensed at his fingertips, emitting a terrifying black light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
The time has come!
The Shadow Demon seized the moment when Zhuang Yu was distracted, and a black light suddenly shot out from his fingertip, like a black lightning bolt, silently attacking Zhuang Yu's back.
This shadow attack embodies the Shadow Demon's lifelong cultivation and is extremely insidious. Once it hits, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to withstand.
However, Zhuang Yu seemed to have anticipated this.
Just as the black light was about to touch his body, he slightly shifted his body, and the light of the secret treasure instantly formed a golden barrier behind him.
"A mere trick!" Zhuang Yu sneered, and the power of the secret treasure surged out like a tide, completely devouring the black light.
sizzle-
Where the black light and golden light met, a corrosive sound that made your teeth ache was emitted.
The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees withered instantly, as if their life force had been drained, turning into a charred mess.
A pungent, burnt smell filled the air, making people nauseous.
"This..." Upon seeing this, the patriarch of the mysterious ancient family couldn't help but frown.
The Shadow Demon's attack was so vicious that even the surrounding vegetation was not spared.
His fear of the Shadow Demon deepened, and at the same time, his desire for the secret treasure in Zhuang Yu's possession grew even stronger.
After neutralizing the Shadow Demon's attack, Zhuang Yu did not choose to defend but instead took the initiative to attack.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and he shot off towards the Shadow Demon like lightning.
The light of the treasure condensed in his hand into a golden longsword, radiating a sharp sword aura, aimed directly at the Shadow Demon's throat.
"What?!" The Shadow Demon was clearly not expected that Zhuang Yu would be so decisive as to dare to launch an attack on him.
He was startled, overwhelmed by Zhuang Yu's imposing aura, and stood frozen in place for a moment.
"Prepare to die!" Zhuang Yu roared, his golden longsword slashing down fiercely at the Shadow Demon with a whooshing sound...
"Stop!" A hoarse voice rang out in the air.
Zhuang Yu moved like lightning, closing in on the Shadow Demon in the blink of an eye.
The light of the treasure flowed in his hands, transforming into golden chains that coiled around the Shadow Demon like serpents.
Shadow Demon felt a powerful force binding his body, rendering him unable to move.
His spiritual energy seemed frozen, unable to circulate, and an unprecedented sense of fear surged into his heart.
"What...what did you do?!" Shadow Demon stared in horror at Zhuang Yu, who was radiating golden light, and asked in a trembling voice.
Zhuang Yu smiled coldly, his eyes filled with contempt.
"You want the secret treasure? Now, I'll show you its true power!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the treasure in his hand shone brightly, and the golden chains tightened more and more. The Shadow Demon felt as if his bones were about to be broken, and the intense pain made him let out a scream.
The air around seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.
Zhuang Yu's figure appeared exceptionally tall in the golden light, like a god, radiating a suffocating pressure.
The fear in Shadow Demon's eyes grew stronger. He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from the golden restraints.
He felt his life force rapidly slipping away, and the shadow of death loomed over him.
Just as Zhuang Yu was preparing to take further action to completely eliminate the Shadow Demon, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly came from afar.
"Stop!" A hoarse voice rang out in the air, carrying an undeniable authority.
The patriarch of the mysterious ancient family formed hand seals and chanted incantations, as an ancient and mysterious power surged from his body.
The surrounding space began to distort, and a chilling aura spread out.
He is using a forbidden technique of his family!
