Fallen Devil: The Resurrection of the God of Death

Statue of Guard

Lin Xuan and Jin Xie were standing before the ancient tomb core gate made of huge stones. The gate was over ten meters tall and five meters wide. The gate walls are decorated with intricate and beautifully carved reliefs. 

Lin Xuan couldn't read the strange writing on the wall, yet he felt that there was some kind of power contained within.

In front of the gate, there are four guard statues made of pure gold with different weapons. The statues were placed on four pillars made of large stones and placed in each corner of the gate. Each statue had a height of about five meters and an expressionless flat face.

The first guard statue holds a long sword decorated with gemstones. The sword looked sharp and powerful, with a shiny golden layer around its hilt.

The second guard statue holds a long, thin spear, with a sharp, shiny tip.

The third guard statue holds an axe with gold engraving on the axe. The last guard statue held a huge shield made of gold, with a dragon image carved on its surface.

All the statues looked very real and beautiful, as if they were alive and ready to move at any time. Lin Xuan felt an extremely powerful and unfathomable aura from each statue. He felt extremely small and helpless in front of this core gate.

“Where are we?”

“Sial, most likely all I went through was just a useless place like the terrace of the house? Or maybe a home page? Because most likely the main tomb is inside that gate.” Lin Xuan's mind looked extremely annoyed.

But this was good luck for him. Fortunately, he was teleported in this place directly as if fate and fate both supported him for this time. Because if that teleportation gate was for someone else, then Lin Xuan regretted it so much for missing something like this.

He tried to walk slowly towards the gate with strange carvings for him. Because he was also curious about what was inside the gate except for his speculation that inside it was the main tomb.

It shouldn't be simple, Lin Xuan thought so. The matter of walking towards the gate was too easy, so he thought there must be a trap around him. So careful seems necessary.

“You must be careful, this is too suspicious. Don't act stupid.” Jin Xie said.

“I know, I'm not that stupid.”

Arriving in front of a gate, Lin Xuan touched the gate with the engraving carefully. But at once he felt an overwhelming crisis, which was why he immediately jumped backwards.

“Above you!”

Jin Xie's response was slower compared to Lin Xuan. He acts as a spectator. Such a remark resolved only then did Lin Xuan jump backwards, as it avoided an axe swing from one of the seemingly lifelike statues.

“The statue is alive?” Lin Xuan realized something as the four statues had eyes that lit up as if alive.

It started earlier when one of the statues swung an axe. It was fortunate that Lin Xuan had managed to avoid it in time or else his body would be torn apart.

Followed by the sword-bearer statue, which swung its sword towards Lin Xuan who was a tiny size to him. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan couldn't move in time other than he was scratched by the huge sword which left his hand almost broken due to the tip of the sword.

“Run! We better run.” Shouted Lin Xuan.

With full force, he flowed qi throughout his body. Attempting to use a silk-stroke opportunity to avoid the four rampaging guard statues.

Unfortunately, the movement of the statue that carries a shield is also very fast. He smashed the surface of the statue towards Lin Xuan, thus making Lin Xuan hit the core gate of the ancient tomb until his bones were shattered.

The front behind his body was experiencing such severe pain. A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth and soaked his lips. In front of him was already a statue and was about to unsheathe a spear towards Lin Xuan.

“Hahahaha, you guys want to play with me? Alright!”

Wiping the blood on his lips, Lin Xuan pulled out the sword and poured qi into his sword. Until there was a burning that made Lin Xuan's sword blacken.

But it seemed like it was in vain, even though Lin Xuan jumped up and swung the flames on his sword, no damage whatsoever had happened to the statue that was targeted earlier.

Now he can only focus on avoiding. Moreover, the strength of a single statue could be many times stronger than Lin Xuan. Clearly, because Lin Xuan himself could not see what cultivation realm the four of them possessed.

On the other hand, Jin Xie was just looking, he did not know what to do. His eyes were as if recording all the happenings about Lin Xuan's movements being so elegant as to dodge all the attacks from the four guard statues.

“You, be careful! I-I will help.”

“No need, don't be a burden to me!” Shouted Lin Xuan while dodging an axe that was much larger in size than himself.

Indeed Lin Xuan could dodge well, but a sword swing pointed at him. So full of energy, Lin Xuan moved very quickly.

Unfortunately, a swing of the spear struck Lin Xuan's body. Fortunately not hit by the tip of the spear or what happened he would be killed just like that. As a result, Lin Xuan's body hit the ground very strongly and painfully.

“Aghh, those four statues are not my opponents.” Lin Xuan said softly while looking at a shield above him freefall like a meteor was about to strike him.

“Hahaha, why is it stupid of me to just give up. Teacher trusts me, I won't let myself die just like that.”

Lin Xuan raised his burning sword, but he was further burning his sword no matter injuring himself. He raised it vertically upwards, as if preparing to receive a deadly strike from a shield that would receive him.

Braak!

A clash of the ground sounded so intense, Jin Xie silently stared, his face as white as paper as he watched his helper crumble just like that. There was clearly regret within him, even he was cursing himself for not wanting to move.

“Tidaaak! Don't just die!” Shouted Jin Xie as he dashed towards the golden statue that was giving Lin Xuan months. His face brought down tears.

“Retreat! I said don't move in place!”

The man who was once strong-assed in front of his teacher shouted very loudly. Giving a warning to the princess of the Jin family not to move and interfere.

This of course made the princess wonder what happened. But after hearing the voice of the man, he was able to calm down.

The smoke slowly disappeared. Lin Xuan under the pressure of the sword holding the shield of dozens of kilos was smiling. He was also like drowning on the ground due to such tremendous pressure.

The sword in Lin Xuan's hand gave off such a powerful blaze. Even his own hands were charred blistering. The added weight of the weight that appeared, made Lin Xuan feel quite the pain. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan did not give up at all.
