Chapter 1640 - Quicksand Tomb
Chapter 900 of "My Super Beautiful Lady Boss" starts with thrilling twists: "Sir, even the Ancient Tomb Sect, which has a legacy spanning thousands of years, dares... Continue the story!
"Sir, even the Ancient Tomb Sect, which has a legacy spanning thousands of years, dares not easily venture into the Quicksand Tomb. Indeed, archaeology is important, but preserving oneâs life is even more so!"Su Xuan smiled as he spoke. The reason Su Xuan said this was quite simple; Yuan Tiangangâs Quicksand Tomb itself is shrouded in legends, and itâs estimated that even the Water Blade Emperor Sword Saint would hesitate to descend easily. Although the Blade Emperor didnât explain this matter thoroughly to Su Xuan that day, Su Xuan clearly understood that this ordeal was truly no small task for him.
The Blade Emperor had been here for many years; perhaps he discovered the entrance to the Heavenly Gang Tomb. However, since this entrance continuously moved and changed, and more importantly, the Heavenly Gang Tomb was a Quicksand Tomb where both its entrance and exit were extraordinarily mysterious. This type of tomb, described as having âgrown legs,â was even more incredible within the desert and, of course, fraught with danger and hazards. Even if one managed to enter the tomb, they might lose the way out once inside.
Though Su Xuan wasnât particularly knowledgeable about ancient tombs, he could sense the peril of such tombs to some extent. Itâs undoubtedly a tomb that could push one to the brink of utmost danger.
"Sigh... For generations, archaeologists like us have pursued the Heavenly Gang Tomb. I never understood why the country was reluctant to support this project in the Late Period; now you see, itâs because someone above knew this was actually a Quicksand Tomb!"
Huo Qiyin felt somewhat sorrowful. The Quicksand Tomb could easily be considered the tomb raidersâ greatest headache. The abundance of quicksand in such desert areas was enough to drive one mad. Imagine how maddening the quicksand in such a place could be.
Su Xuan slowly stood up, gazing into the distance as a light breeze passed by, bringing a cloud from the horizon, and said slowly.
"The weather has changed. This time, we donât need to wait too long to know who the ultimate winner will be!"
The corner of Su Xuanâs mouth curled into a faint smile, radiating an unprecedentedly confident expression. Su Xuan was someone who embraced lifeâs challenges; even in a doomed battle, he would face it confidently.
As Su Xuan would say, once something is destined to happen, fear cannot change anything. If everyone stays fearful and timid, itâs better to take a bold step forward. There will be times to break waves and sail across the vast seas.
Meanwhile, in this Great Desert, forces from all directions were converging, gathering at the Dragon Gate. The hidden powers in this mysterious desert far exceeded just the Quicksand and Dragon Gate; many factions had already entered the desert. The sandstorm, predicted to hit in three days, would thoroughly cleanse this desert. The scale was massive, even putting the survival of the Dragon Gate Inn in question. Now, the Dragon Gate Inn had become a lifeline in the desert, with many hoping to enter for survival, posing significant challenges to the inn.
After more than a hundred experts from Japan rescued people from Quicksand, Di Lingtian quickly reached an agreement with them to jointly deal with the Dragon Gate Inn and then divide the spoils from their efforts.
"Su Xuan, I will tear you to pieces!"
Di Lingtian roared. His hatred for Su Xuan was deep-rooted. He hadnât expected such betrayal from Su Xuan, who had always sought to destroy him, often leaving him on the brink of collapse.
He initially thought that after secluded training, he could dominate the desert. However, he hadnât gotten a chance to showcase his formidable strength before Su Xuan severely beat him, leaving him frustrated beyond words.
"Su Xuan? Was it Su Xuan who killed one of our men this time?"
In the underground tomb hall, a middle-aged man looked at Di Lingtian and asked curiously.
After this group of ninjas retreated and discovered one of their own had been taken out, there was a deep-seated urge to swear. He couldnât believe that Su Xuan was so formidable; they had launched a surprise attack, and an ordinary man would have easily crumbled under pressure.
"Yes, itâs Su Xuan. Does sir know him?"
Di Lingtian said harshly. Truth be told, Di Lingtian was very unhappy, deeply impacted by the realization that his mighty Horse Cutting Blade Technique had been used against him by Su Xuan. It was slightly embarrassing.
"Su Xuan... The name sounds so familiar; I feel like Iâve heard it somewhere!"
The gentleman leading the group was the Upper-level Ninja, a formidable figure. He felt like he had indeed heard Su Xuanâs name before, prompting his curiosity as to why Su Xuanâs name seemed so familiar, given he shouldnât theoretically know of him.
"Not really. By the way, is he very powerful?"
After pondering for a while, Lord Pheasant concluded he must have heard wrong. How could he have heard of Su Xuan? This was his first time in Huaxia, and in Pheasantâs perspective, Huaxia was filled with the sick men of East Asia, not even worth his attention.
"Lord Pheasant, donât you know weâre planning a collaborative assault with Quicksand this time, to take down the Dragon Gate Inn in one swoop!"
Di Lingtian was already eager to act. Just thinking about how Su Xuan had beaten him sparked his anger, and he vowed to regain his dignity in this venture.
"Heh, donât worry. With my assistance, not just any Dragon Gate Inn, even a Dragon Gate Fortress can be easily taken down!"
Lord Pheasantâs face lit up with excitement, convinced that everything was within his control.
Di Lingtian was speechless, thinking, "Who gave you this confidence? Iâve struggled for over ten years with the Dragon Gate Inn, and yet I still couldnât acquire it. You shorty, do you really think youâre better?"
If Di Lingtian werenât injured, his proud nature would likely have kicked the man away, thinking, "Damn, where do you get this kind of overconfidence? Itâs simply over-the-top confidence!"
