However, it was too late.
In return, an extremely violent force shocked Holly’s body, sending her flying. She vomited a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and her body fell rapidly like a kite with a broken string.
Alex was astonished. He hurriedly dashed to the location where Holly landed before holding her in his arms. At the same time, layers of invisible sword aura emerged in the Pantheon Tomb and crisscrossed before they started to descend overhead at a breakneck speed. Then, they filled the entire tomb.
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens and the Primal Old Devil screamed. Some mysterious force seemed to be pulling the bodies of the two people, forcing them to fall into their own graves.
Meanwhile, that invisible sword aura in the air quickly reached Alex… Alex roared and protected himself and Holly with his strongest defense. Nonetheless, the sea of crisscrossing sword aura did not slash Alex’s body.
The sword aura seemingly possessed spirituality and avoided him while it was about two meters away from him.
Hence, Alex was unscathed.
Holly was lucky that she did not receive any further damage. Even so, the injury she suffered from the shock earlier was very severe.
Alex hurriedly treated Holly with the Ultimate Book of Medicine. Fortunately, Alex’s methods of curing diseases and rescuing people were profound. After a while, Holly woke up, but a lingering fear existed within her mind.
“What a terrifying power. I felt a recoil ten times the energy I lashed out. It almost killed me.”
Eventually, the sword aura all over the sky vanished. Tranquility returned to the interior of Pantheon Tomb. Those graves and tombstones were not injured by the sword aura. They all looked intact
“How amazing!”
“It’s simply unbelievable!”
“Who the heck is this guy?”
The tombstones spoke one after another. This scene was really uncomfortable.
The Primal Old Devil answered, “Do you think I was willing to do that? I couldn’t act of my own volition. A mysterious force in this tomb controlled me and dragged me into the grave… Under current circumstances, I have to accumulate power for another decade before I can leave the grave.”
The more Alex listened, the more shocked he became.
The situation here was more complicated than what he guessed. He initially thought the Pantheon Tomb was an actual cemetery, but now, he only found that it was a cage for gods.
He walked toward the gate. He also wanted to try and find out if he could walk out of the gate.
Swoosh!
He did not encounter the energy wall that Holly mentioned. He lifted his foot and walked out easily.
At that point, all the old geezers in the graves exclaimed.
