Chapter 58: Exercise your muscles and knees! Auntie calm down

At a time like this, shouldn't they be concerned about how to save their lives? Why was she so fixated on heavenly materials and earthly treasures?

Seeing Leng Yanran's excited expression, her eyes fixed greedily on the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Li Shenruo felt like her brain was short-circuiting.

"Fairy Leng, our lives are at stake. We should join forces and escape this place first. At a time like this, you shouldn't be thinking about heavenly materials and earthly treasures!" Li Shenruo wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but remind her.

"Interesting... truly interesting! I never expected that you would care about heavenly materials and earthly treasures in front of me. I wonder whether I should praise your courage or call you foolish..." The person in the coffin was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Hey. Are these all your treasures here? Are there any others?"

However, Leng Yanran completely ignored the words of the two and turned her head to look at the person in the coffin, bluntly asking.

She hadn't forgotten her master's instructions: before killing someone, she must make them hand over all their heavenly materials and earthly treasures, to avoid extravagance and waste.

"Huh? Truly laughable… Disable them both!"

The person in the coffin couldn't figure out why this woman wasn't just afraid but was actually questioning him. He immediately ordered his subordinates to take the two down.

As the voice of the person in the coffin fell, the two Annihilation Realm puppet corpses also sprang into action!

Perhaps not having moved for too long, their bones made a piercing grinding sound as they got up. At the same time, the Annihilation Realm puppet corpses that had been dormant in the passage the two had entered began to open their eyes, cutting off their retreat.

"Fairy Leng! I can use my secret treasure to hold off these two puppet corpses for ten breaths. We can escape together!"

Seeing the situation, Li Shenruo felt her scalp tingle and immediately shouted at Leng Yanran.

However, she found that Leng Yanran completely ignored her, instead heading towards the pile of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. She took out a storage pouch, much to the amazement of the onlookers, and casually stored the mountain-like pile of treasures. Then, she moved on to a pile of weapons and treasures and took out another storage pouch.

"Tsk, now that the treasures are stored, there's no need to worry…"

After putting away the two storage pouches, Leng Yanran finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't concerned about anything else, just worried that she might accidentally damage these treasures later. However, her actions left everyone present dumbfounded. Did she really not consider herself an outsider?

Were these dozens of Unity Realm puppet corpses and the two Annihilation Realm puppet corpses just decorations?

"Roar——"

The Annihilation Realm puppet corpse seemed insulted and let out a roar, charging towards Leng Yanran, its mouth full of bared teeth, as if intending to tear her apart.

The other Annihilation Realm puppet corpse also attacked Li Shenruo!

Seeing this, Li Shenruo quickly activated her protective treasure. While her protective treasure was of top-grade Earth rank and could withstand the attacks of the Annihilation Realm, her magical power could only support it for about ten breaths.

After activating the magical power barrier, Li Shenruo hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Leng Yanran. In the end, she chose not to flee directly, but instead flashed to Leng Yanran's side, shielding her within the barrier as well.

It wasn't that she was sacrificing herself; it was just that there were too many Unity and Annihilation Realm puppet corpses in the passage, and she wouldn't be able to break through on her own.

"We're running out of time!"

Li Shenruo was anxious, grabbing Leng Yanran's shoulder and preparing to flee.

The two Annihilation Realm puppet corpses were temporarily blocked by the barrier and couldn't harm the two.

Leng Yanran looked at her with surprise, unexpectedly finding that Li Shenruo hadn't chosen to escape directly and instead wanted to save her life. She couldn't help but improve her opinion of Li Shenruo slightly.

"Hmph, you young ones really treat this place like a toilet, don't you? You come and go as you please. Very well, I could use a bit of exercise anyway. It's time for me to reappear in the world!"

The person in the coffin gave a cold snort. He hadn't expected his opponent to have a top-grade Earth rank treasure. Coupled with the fact that Leng Yanran hadn't taken him seriously at all and had just taken thousands of years' worth of his heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he was quite unhappy.

With a light leap, he jumped out of the coffin. Carrying himself with one hand behind his back, he took a step forward and appeared directly in front of the barrier Li Shenruo had set up.

Raising his hand, he threw a punch!

"Bang!"

"Crack——"

The barrier that could withstand the Annihilation Realm for ten breaths shattered like fragile glass. The person in the coffin immediately wore a confident smile and was about to reach out and strangle the two by their necks.

Suddenly, he froze, his pupils contracting sharply as he looked at the array disc in Leng Yanran's hand.

"Thud!"

He actually kneeled directly in front of Leng Yanran!

"Little Ancestor, Little Ancestor, don't attack! Calm down, you must stay calm!"

Kneeling on the ground, the person in the coffin kept moving his hands, trying to pacify Leng Yanran.

Among the numerous Unity Realm puppet corpses present, along with the Annihilation Realm puppet corpse, a small number had developed limited thinking abilities.

Although they didn't understand what was happening, when they saw their master suddenly kneel, they all prostrated themselves towards Leng Yanran, not daring to look up.

"This...?"

Li Shenruo was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events before her. What on earth was happening? In her eyes, the person in the coffin had seemed ready to flex his muscles, but then he punched through her protective treasure barrier that could withstand the Annihilation Realm.

He revealed at least Boundless realm strength!

She had even begun to despair, never expecting to meet her end here and become nourishment for puppet corpses. But she couldn't have imagined that the person who had driven her to despair was suddenly kneeling? So, flexing his muscles meant this kind of activity?

Stiffly turning her head, she looked at Leng Yanran beside her. She saw Leng Yanran with a calm expression, holding a portable array disc in her hand.

"Is this the effect of this array disc? But a portable array disc can contain, at most, Profound rank formations. How could it possibly threaten an opponent of the Boundless realm?"

Li Shenruo was full of confusion.

"Oh? You can perceive the power of this array disc?"

Leng Yanran was somewhat surprised by the sudden plea for mercy from the puppet corpse. After obtaining the treasures, she had already planned to use the attack array disc her master had given her to completely destroy this place, whether it was the person in the coffin, the puppet corpses, or this cavern – all of it would be annihilated.

"My lady… Had you revealed this treasure earlier, I – no, we would not have troubled you, right?"

The person in the coffin's lips twitched. He cast a sidelong glance at the array disc. Chi Yunzi was already a master of formations during his lifetime, and this body had an innate talent for sensing inscriptions in formations. At a single glance earlier, he had noticed that the portable array disc contained thousands of inscriptions of formations!

This? What on earth has happened outside in these few thousand years? Why can even portable array discs now contain Heaven-grade formations!?
