Chapter 1448

The Sword of Time once again failed to penetrate the skin of the Stone Elephant, but the sharp teeth of the snake didn't have any problem. It easily penetrated the status, leaving a hole in it

Long Chen teleported near the stone statue, which was unmoving while sending his shadow with the snake teeth towards the stone elephant.

Using the hole that was left in the stone statue, Long Chen stabbed his sword inside. As the outer shell was broken already, the sword didn't have any trouble finishing the rest of the task.

However, to Long Chen's surprise, the sword didn't just stab the statue. It also shattered the statue to pieces. The same pieces were absorbed by the Sword, leaving no trace of the statue at all.

"What the...?"

Even Long Chen seemed surprised as the Sword absorbed the statue. What truly shocked him was the disappearance of the energy. Normally when the sword absorbed any attack, it often sent most of the absorbed energy into the body of Long Chen, but this time, it didn't send anything to him.

It was all a bit surprising.

"Where did the energy go?" he muttered. On the other side, his shadow clone stabbed the same snake teeth in the neck of the elephant.

The elephant groaned in pain as he was stabbing. A golden wave spread everywhere, destroying the shadow which was standing on its back. Not only was the shadow destroyed, but the snake teeth were destroyed as well.

"Doesn't matter where the energy went. As long as it can swallow this thing, I'm fine."

He Teleported behind the elephant as soon as the energy wave disappeared and stabbed the Sword of Time in the hole created by the Snake Teeth.

The same thing happened again. The Sword managed to enter deeper into the Giant Elephant, absorbing it entirely.

The massive elephant disappeared as if it was swallowed by the sword entirely.

After the elephant disappeared, Long Chen landed on the ground, observing the Winged Tiger. Other than the statue that still hadn't come to life, only that one beast was left.

However, the snake teeth were destroyed by the last attack of the Elephant, leaving nothing.

"If only it would have lasted for two more attacks. Old method it is," Long Chen exclaimed as he stood up.

He Teleported behind the Winged Tiger, which was running towards him. The Tiger cast his shield once again, sending danger.

The shield didn't even offer the least bit of resistance against the Sword of Time at the moment. The Sword sliced through the barrier to land on the Winged Tiger; however, unlike before, the Sword didn't fail to slice the Tiger.

The Sword sliced the stone tiger in half without facing any resistance.

"Hmm? What?"

Even Long Chen was surprised as he saw what was happening. He had expected a few cracks from his sword, which he would've had to exploit later on, but this came as a complete surprise.

"Was the Stone Tiger really that weak in defense? Or was it something else?"

As he was lost in the thought, the sword absorbed the Stone Tiger as well.

"Wait... Did the Sword gain the ability to slice the statues by absorbing them? Like a smart sword that could understand the statues?"

"It could also be that the Sword just became stronger after absorbing the elephants. It's good for me in any case."

"I should feed it the Snake as well."

"Hey, I'm not food!" Snake Monarch exclaimed.

"I'm not talking about you, Genius. I meant the other snake," Long Chen retorted. "The one who is outside the room. Or his body, to be precise."

"Ah, you meant that guy. Do whatever you want with it. I don't care." Snake Monarch nodded. "However, what happened to your sword suddenly? How did it cut them easily now?"

"Who knows. Let's just finish this room first. There is only one statue left. After destroying it, we can move for-"

He walked to the last statue while talking to the Snake Monarch but stopped as he heard the noise of the door opening.

"What are you doing with that weapon? And why is this place in a mess?" A calm voice came as a group of youngsters walked inside the room.

The group contained everyone, from Zhu Chang to the Dragon Heir.

Everyone was looking in amazement. There were many cracks in the room, along with some craters.

"It's like a Warzone. What happened here?" Zhu Chang also asked.

"Yeah. I fought the statues which attacked me. This is the outcome," Long Chen responded, shaking his head. "Anyways, what was on the other side of the room?"

"There-"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Chang was about to explain to Long Chen, but a voice interrupted him.

"That's a secret of the beasts. You don't need to know. We are done here," Long Hu answered instead. "Tell me more about the statues. You're really saying you fought them? Why would statues come alive?'

"I'm sorry, but that's the secret of the Humans. You don't need to know," Long Chen responded in the language that Long Hu understood.

"Since you're all done, you can go ahead. I'll join you later."

"Later when? You need to come with us. The Temple is going to close soon. We need to get going. Otherwise, we might be too late."

Zhu Chang held the hand of Long Chen and started leaving.

"I like that plan. Life is more important than anything," Snake Monarch chimed in.

"Hmm? What's this shameless Snake doing here? And where is your wife?"

"I sent Xun to a safe place when I was attacked. I didn't get the time to bring her back. I'll bring her back after we leave."

"Whatever, let's get going. We can talk about the rest later."

Zhu Chang left with the others. Long Hu walked in the end as he was suspicious about Long Chen trying to sneak back to that place.

He kept an eye on Long Chen the entire way, not realizing that he was simply following a Shadow Clone. The real Long Chen had already snuck through the door as soon as the others came out of the room.

Even the Snake Monarch couldn't recognize the difference between Long Chen and this shadow clone. Their aura was completely identical.

The only difference was that the clone was much weaker, which didn't matter since Long Chen didn't intend to have his clone fight the others anyways.

"The temple is about to close soon. I need to be fast.." Instead of taking his time to observe his surroundings, he kept his speed high and advanced ahead.
