Chapter 981
“D*mn it! The murderous intent is too strong!” Howard wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth and
continued, “There must be something phenomenal in there, or there wouldn’t be such a powerful
arcane array in place. You two! Try to break the array.”novelbin
He fired off the instructions at two of his subordinates.
The two Dunn family subordinates immediately nodded in acknowledgment. Both were Seventh Level
Martial Arts Grandmasters, and they unleashed their fearsome auras before walking deeper into the
tomb.
Both men exuded gust after gust of martial energy, hoping to break the arcane array with brute force
and bust into the tomb.
They were evidently more well-prepared than Howard and thus made it further into the tomb. Alas, the
murderous intent of the arcane array merely intensified as the men slowly exhausted their martial
energy.
The Dunn family subordinates broke into a cold sweat as each step forward became increasingly
difficult. Soon enough, they flew backward like a pair of stray kites and crashed onto the ground.
Both men coughed up mouthfuls of blood, gravely injured. Despite their best efforts, they merely bested
Howard by no more than twenty meters.
Howard swore out loud, “What the heck is with this arcane array? It's crazy. What kind of magical item
would warrant such a powerful arcane array for protection?”
“Let me give it a shot, Jared!” Colin immediately stepped forward in excitement when he heard about
the hidden magical item.
Jared pulled him back and warned, “Stop. Based on your skills, the murderous intent might flatten you
into a patty the second you step inside.”
The warning scared the idea right out of Colin’s head.
Jared and the others could only sit and rest since the arcane array prevented them from accessing the
magical item lying ahead. Jared began effusing his spiritual sense, determined to identify the core of
the arcane array and destroy it.
However, before he could locate it, his spiritual sense was immediately deflected back, stunning him.
The arcane array can even block spiritual senses?
Seeing that Jared and the others were out of options, Edgar led his men past Jared and appraised the
empty path leading into the tomb.
“Give it a try, Godrick,” came Edgar's order.
Godrick hesitated and stammered, “Mr. Edgar, I... um, are you sure?”
Jared, Howard, and even the two Seventh Level Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Dunn family had
been sent flying by the arcane array. I'm just a Third Level Martial Arts Grandmaster. What's the point
in trying?
Noticing his hesitation, Edgar asked coldly, “Well? Are you ignoring my orders now?”
Godrick hastily shook his head. He then unleashed every trace of his aura to protect himself before
slowly moving forward.
A mighty gust of murderous intent assailed Godrick the moment he took one step. It instantly struck
Godrick’s body and sent him flying a distance away.
He could not react at all and took a long time to crawl to his feet.
Meanwhile, Edgar frowned severely at Godrick's failure.
He mumbled, “If only Mr. Gordon were here.”
If Warren's here, he might be able to bust through the array with his skills as a Top Level Martial Arts
Grandmaster.
Convinced that unparalleled magical items lay behind the arcane array, Edgar took a deep breath and
decided to take his shot.
Alas, he suffered a painfully similar fate as Godrick. The murderous intent knocked him back after he
took a couple of steps.
They began to wonder if there was truly any way of moving ahead.
After some rest, Jared slowly got to his feet to try again. He knew he had been sent flying by the
murderous intent only because he was too careless earlier.
A shocked Colin blocked him and asked, “Are you still thinking of giving it a try, Jared?”
Jared nodded and replied, “Yes. We'll only know what magical items lies ahead if we can break this
arcane array.”
