He Hentian clenched his hand into a fist and smashed it towards the stone wall.
This punch gathered all of his strength.
"Bang!"
"Boom!!!"
"Crack!"
Under the furious punch of He Hentian, the stone wall shattered on the spot, revealing a rusty iron door behind it. The door was about two Zhang tall and one Zhang wide, looking very ancient and emitting an aura of antiquity.
"Indeed, there was a secret path," laughed He Hentian. "No matter how well hidden, it was still discovered by us in the end, wasn't it?"
"Why use an iron door?" Gao Fei frowned.
"What do you an?" He Hentian didn't understand. "What's wrong with an iron door?"
"As everyone knows, iron doors are prone to rust, especially in the dark and damp environnt of an ancient tomb, they're more likely to corrode. Having built such an enormous tomb, they should not be lacking money—why not use another material for the door? Like a bronze door," Gao Fei voiced his confusion.
"Maybe it's just to save trouble," He Hentian laughed. "You always overthink things."
"Am I overthinking?" Gao Fei stared at the iron door, his gaze unshifting. For so reason, he felt that there was sothing unusual about this iron door.
"Gao Fei, do you think I can smash open this iron door with one punch?" He Hentian raised his fist, gathered his strength, and then slamd down fiercely.
"Boom!"
"Clang!"
"Swoosh!"
When He Hentian's fist touched the iron door, a powerful rebounding force erged from it, flinging He Hentian into the air. "Dammit!" After tumbling a few tis in the air, He Hentian heavily fell to the ground. He crawled up in a sorry state and cursed angrily, "I can't believe I've been ambushed by a rotten iron door! This is so infuriating!" He Hentian rushed back to attack the door again. "I refuse to believe that I can't handle you?"
As it turned out, He Hentian really couldn't handle the iron door.
"Boom!"
"Swoosh!"
Just like before, He Hentian was sent flying by an overwhelming force, this ti falling even harder and tearing his clothes.
"How can this be?" Rage boiled within He Hentian. He pulled out a longsword from his storage bag and strode towards the iron door. If his fist wasn't effective, he would use a treasure. He refused to believe that a re iron door could truly stop him.
"Open for !"
He Hentian took the longsword with both hands and chopped down fiercely.
"Zzzt..."
"Crack!"
He Hentian was sent flying again, and his longsword broke into two pieces. "Ahh! How can this be? I'm going to go mad! I really am going to go mad!!!" In front of Gao Fei, making such a fool of himself was absolutely humiliating. He Hentian wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. A great Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, unable to handle a broken iron door—if word of this got out, he would definitely be mocked.
He Hentian took out another treasure, still wanting to continue attacking the iron door, but Gao Fei stopped him.
"Calm down," Gao Fei said solemnly. "Haven't you realized yet? This is not just any iron door, to be precise, it's not an ordinary iron door."
"I've never taken such a big loss before," He Hentian said, looking down at his dust-covered clothes. His expression was extrely grim.
Gao Fei stepped forward and scrutinized the iron gate, "It looks plain and unremarkable, but it actually possesses trendous power. Truly, appearances can be deceiving. Oh, that's not right. It should be 'gates can be deceiving.' Sotis what we see with our eyes isn't necessarily the truth."
"The more troubleso the iron gate is, the more it suggests that a great secret is hidden behind it," He Hentian finally cald down.
Gao Fei reached out and touched his smooth chin, "What do you think is behind the iron gate?"
"It should be the Main Tomb Chamber," He Hentian said, "The coffin of the tomb's owner is likely behind the iron gate. Usually, the most valuable burial objects are placed inside the coffin." As long as they found the coffin, they'd strike it rich.
"Ordinary thods won't open this iron gate." After pondering for a mont, Gao Fei had an idea. He opened his mouth and spit out a ball of blue fla: "Li Fire is the number one fla in the Mortal World, it should be able to lt this iron gate." With a shift of his ntal power, Li Fire charged towards the iron gate.
"Right, burn it to death! Burn it to a crisp! lt it away!" He Hentian said angrily.
Li Fire indeed did not disappoint He Hentian and Gao Fei, clinging to the iron gate and burning voraciously, crackling and popping. The iron gate, which had seed imposing just monts ago, started to tremble, emitting a "whoo whoo whoo..." sound.
"This iron gate can make sounds?" Gao Fei was very surprised, "Could it have beco sentient?" Everything in the world has spirituality, and in certain circumstances, it really could beco sentient.
"Who cares if it has beco sentient or not, having crossed us, we'll let it die conclusively," He Hentian's hatred for the iron gate cut to the bone.
"Bang bang bang..."
The iron gate shook violently, trying to flick off the Li Fire, but Li Fire clung tenaciously to the gate, unyielding regardless of how the gate struggled.
What defeats one thing conquers another. He Hentian was no match for the iron gate, but Li Fire could firmly suppress it. Everything in the world has its antithesis; as long as you find the right approach, you can break through all obstacles. The key is to use your brain and not act impulsively.
"Burn beautifully! Burn brilliantly! Burn to perfection! Hahaha..." He Hentian laughed out loud with delight: "That's thrilling! Burn! Burn fiercely for ! Damn it, how dare it make suffer a loss, it must have the audacity of a bear's heart and a leopard's gall!"
Under the conflagration of Li Fire, the iron gate started to redden and emit waves of heat. It wouldn't be long before the iron gate would lt.
"Whoo whoo whoo..." The sound from the iron gate grew louder and more mournful.
"Crack!"
A crack appeared on the iron gate, spreading outwards in all directions. In a blink of an eye, the gate was covered in cracks like a spiderweb. After a short while, the iron gate couldn't hold anymore and collapsed instantly, falling into a pile of fragnts on the ground. Li Fire imdiately pounced and continued to burn as if it wouldn't stop until the gate was completely lted.
"Great!" He Hentian shouted in praise: "Worthy of the Li Fire indeed! That's truly aweso! Gao Fei, give the Li Fire to . You can na your price; whatever you want, I'll give it to you! How about it?" He had truly taken a liking to the Li Fire.
"I want your life, will you give it to ?" Gao Fei rolled his eyes.
"Er... I'm being serious with you."
"I'm serious too. If you want my Li Fire, trade it for your life," Gao Fei said fiercely.
"If I'm dead, what use do I have for Li Fire?"
"Li Fire is my lifeline. Whoever dares to covet it, I'll stake my life against them," Gao Fei threatened.
"Alright, put away your fierce look. I don't want Li Fire anymore," He Hentian pouted: "So stingy. And I thought of you as a friend, too."
"If the roles were reversed, would you give the Li Fire? I want to hear the truth."
"Er... that... definitely not..."
"So, don't think about taking the Li Fire anymore," Gao Fei snorted: "Not just Li Fire, but you shouldn't covet anything of mine." Gao Fei possessed many treasures, most of them unique and unparalleled. He had put a lot of effort into acquiring these treasures, how could he possibly hand them over to soone else?
