hesitated for a moment before deciding to wait a while after Shang Ping Wang and the others passed by before making his move. Even if the bone soldiers attacked him, he didn't want to face Shang Ping Wang's threat at the same time.

After Shang Ping Wang had been gone for nearly half an hour, watched the bone soldiers. They still showed no signs of attacking.

He checked on Huang'er's condition. Although her five senses and six perceptions were all sealed, the sinister energy in the valley still affected her to some degree.

"I can't wait any longer." gritted his teeth and charged forward.

To his surprise, the bone soldiers seemed to be fast asleep. They didn't attack at all, each one lurking underground like terracotta warriors, completely motionless, showing no intention whatsoever of launching an assault.

Seeing this, didn't hesitate. He dashed through quickly.

However, he didn't let his guard down in the tombstone area. This valley was far too eerie — the tombstone area was probably just the appetizer.

Moreover, why wouldn't the bone soldiers attack him? Why hadn't they attacked Shang Ping Wang either?

This only deepened 's suspicion.

"There must be someone controlling these bone soldiers from behind the scenes. Otherwise, with the intelligence of these shape-shifted bones, even if they retained some residual consciousness from when they were alive, their intelligence shouldn't be that high. They clearly have an instinct to attack — so why would they suddenly let me and Shang Ping Wang pass?"

The more thought about it, the more a chill crept up his spine. He couldn't shake the feeling that a pair of eyes was watching him from behind.

"Huang'er's condition isn't good. I have to find the Soul-Calming Wood as quickly as possible. No matter how powerful this demon race is, I must obtain that wood."

knew there was no turning back now.

It wasn't just the demon race he had to worry about — Shang Ping Wang, whose intentions remained unclear, was yet another source of trouble.

So even though was burning with urgency, he couldn't afford to speed up.

As he walked, suddenly halted again. He looked at the ground, then at his surroundings. His expression stiffened, turning extremely grim.

A warrior's instinct told him that a wave of danger was surging toward him like a mad torrent.

With that thought, reached out into the void, secretly clutching a talisman seal in his hand. It was the Emperor's Armor Talisman that the Panlong Clan Lord had once gifted him.

At the same time, his other hand quietly gripped the Feather Mirror. His eyes watched all four directions, his ears listened for everything.

Suddenly, from the jungle on the right, an arrow shot out. Its speed was so fast it defied 's imagination.

Without a second thought, swept the Feather Mirror. The arrow's speed dropped sharply as the mirror's power deflected it.

Without hesitation, pointed his index finger into the void. A powerful stream of Star River Finger force lanced out in crossed arcs, shooting toward the direction of the ambush.

Just then, the scenery before 's eyes shifted abruptly.

In the next instant, his and Huang'er's bodies were transported into a formation.

Looking around, he found eight statues standing before him. Each statue had the fierce, bulging eyes of a wrathful guardian, radiating tremendous pressure as they glared down at him.

In a sudden burst, all eight statues rose into the air, as though they had come alive, and charged at simultaneously.

Attacked from eight directions at once, was thrust into an extremely passive position.

Without a moment's delay, he activated the Emperor's Armor Talisman. A yellow glow surged three or four zhang high, enveloping before dissolving into a stream of light that flowed across his entire body.

In the next instant, the Emperor's Armor Talisman's protective power was fully layered onto .

And at that very moment, the attacks from the eight statues had already arrived.

was greatly alarmed. Each of these eight statues possessed the offensive power of an early-stage Imperial Realm cultivator. Moreover, their attacks followed the principles of formations — formations nested within formations — leaving completely unable to figure out which direction to defend.

Despite the Emperor's Armor Talisman's protection, dared not be careless. He activated his God-Demon Golden Body, and a ten-zhang aura of golden light enveloped his true form. He pulled Huang'er into his embrace.

He would rather take the injuries himself than let Huang'er be struck by these statues.

The attacks from the left, the right, and behind — ignored them all. He knew that what he truly needed to protect was what lay in front of him.

Because Huang'er was in his arms.

The Emperor's Armor Talisman could protect him, but it could not protect Huang'er.

He had to deal with the two frontal statues using his own strength. But had plenty of tricks up his sleeve. He swept the Feather Mirror, instantly slowing the attacks of those two statues.

And in the same instant, the attacks from the remaining six statues crashed into 's body.

Boom!
