Erza wore a red-coloured silk clothes, with an exquisite black plate armour covering her chest. Her waist was gorgeously small while a veil covered her face, only revealing her clear blue eyes which seemed to flow like water as the world seemed to lose colour before her beauty.
The noisy foot of the mountain lapsed into silence at this moment. Although Erza's face was covered with a veil, the faintly discernible silhouette of her face appeared almost perfectly proportioned, causing one to wish that he could rip off that veil, and see the beauty that would make a hundred flowers look dull.
"Such a beautiful girl!"
Ling Tian stared at the girl dressed in red colours, her bare lily-white feet stepping on the flame lotus, and could not help but softly gasp in his heart.
"Who is this girl? Someone from the River Clan?" Ling Tian tilted his head and looked towards his female companion as he softly asked.
"No..."
The girl's umber-black eyebrows slightly knitted together as she heard these words, a little suspicion in her eyes. Even she could not help but feel a sliver of jealousy in her heart at Erza's looks and demeanour.
"This girl does not appear to have an ordinary background, as I heard it was the River Clan which invited her this time. Her name seems to be Erna, and as for exactly where she hails from, it is not something someone of my position is able to know." To one side, Ling Tian's male companion interrupted and said.
"To be able to cause a figure like Ling Guo to be so courteous, this girl definitely does not have an ordinary identity." Ling Tian lightly nodded his head as he muttered in his heart.
"Hehe, so it turns out to be miss Erna, Nanda Shi greets you." In the skies, Nanda Shi also gave faint smile to the girl whose lily-white feet stepped atop the red flame lotus. From the looks of it, he seemed to know a little about Erza's true identity. As someone from the Imperial Clan, he surely got his own information channel.
"Heh heh, I did not expect that you would be interested in things from my Nanda Empire." Lang Yan looked towards the mysterious girl, an undisguised passion in his gaze.
"It's nothing more than coincidence."
Erza gently smiled as she said. Soon after, her eyes turned towards Ling Guo as she softly said: "Since everyone is already here, shall we start to break the seal?"
"Haha, sure." Ling Guo gently nodded his head. The gaze he looked at Erza with was likewise a little different, however, it was not totally unrestrained like Lang Yan's.
"The seal was probably set up by a Saint Realm practitioner, although many years have passed since then and it was probably at its weakest now, its might is still considerable. However, as long as all of us attack together destroying it would not be difficult."
Upon hearing Ling Guo's words, Erza and the other two nodded their heads.
"Less useless talk, let's do it!" Lang Yan was the quickest to move, the sole of his foot stamped on the huge golden spear below him as the spear started to tremble violently. Resplendent golden rays swiftly gathered at the tip of the spear, before it finally transformed directly into an enormous golden spear made of light, that was dozens of meters long, as it violently swept forth.
*Boom boom!*
The spear flashed forward, while emitting a series of low explosion sounds. Its power was astonishing.
*Hua hua!*
While Lang Yan made his move, Nanda Shi, who stood atop the mystical wind bird, also lightly smiled as he gently waved the deep blue fan in his hand. Immediately, a blue wave rapidly formed before him, as profound true essences surged within it.
"Go!"
Nanda Shi waved his fan as the blue wave crashed forward like a huge wave that seemed to stretch across the skies.
*Buzz buzz!*
Both hands behind his back, Ling Guo did not seem to move as a huge vortex appeared in the skies above his head. Terrifying energy seemed to rush out from the heavens and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge fiery-red broadsword. Red light flashed, as it tore apart the skies and screamed forth like a meteor.
Even though her realm was lower, Erza's attack was not lacking at all compared with Ling Guo and the other two's attacks. She jumped off from her flame lotus and sent it toward the seal.
'Phoenix's Fury Flame Lotus'!
It was the same move she used against Elsa. Blazing scarlet flames quickly advanced towards the seal in a distance.
When the four made their move, the energy essences in the area violently undulated, while the faces of several people in the camp was filled with admiration. Only those that had reached the pinnacle of Knight Realm would be able to utilise essences to such an extent.
In the face of this kind of power, Ling Tian was held in rapt attention. Although the current him was already able to defeat a late stage Knight Realm expert, towards a practitioner at the peak stage, his power was still rather insignificant. To overtake these top tier younger generation members of the Nanda Empire, he still had some ways to go.
However, he believed that the day would come when he would definitely surpass these people at the top!
While Ling Tian's eyes were flickering, the majestic attacks in the sky had already heavily slammed into the mountain top under numerous watchful gazes.
As these attacks neared, the sky seemed to distort. Almost instantaneously, a screen of light slowly appeared, numerous lines and patterns were drawn on the light screen, as if they were a bunch of bizarre symbols.
No one from the Nanda Empire recognized it, but Erza did. It was the language of Gods.
'So is this the tomb of an expert from the Upper Heaven?'
*Boom boom!*
The first to reach was Lang Yan's golden spear of light, which gave off a proud aura. The exceptionally wild and formidable spear of light heavily slammed into a point on the light screen, causing circles to ripple outwards...
*Crash!*
The wave formed by valiant energy essences also quickly followed. Everything poured down onto that same point and immediately, the ripples on the light screen spread increasingly quicker, while the glow of the light screen also grew much dimmer.
*Boom!*
In the next moment, the scarlet red broadsword arrived in a blaze. It ruthlessly pierced the light screen, and then, at an extremely slow speed, it slowly buried itself into the light screen.
"Burst!"
In the skies, Ling Guo's mouth slightly moved as a soft voice sounded out.
*Boom!*
As Ling Guo's voice sounded out, the tip of the scarlet red broadsword, which had already pierced into the light screen, immediately let out a huge noise as it transformed into an exceptionally berserk energies. The destruction energy frantically swept forward, completely wiping away the symbols on the light screen.
As the energy gradually scattered, the glow of the light screen also became exceptionally dim. However, it still firmly stood, a scene which caused quite a few people to inwardly smack their lips. They did not expect that after experiencing the ferocious attacks of three peak Knight Realm practitioners, the seal would still remain so strong.
*BOOM!*
While everyone was in admiration over the strength of the seal, the final attack arrived. The scarlet flames smashed into the seal with the intention to burn everything in his way to ashes.
Soon, clear breaking sounds echoed out. The crowd watched as cracks unexpectedly appeared on the light screen.
"The seal is about to be broken!"
Upon seeing this scene, many people were delighted. Some of them looked towards the mysterious girl in astonishment, clearly unable to believe that she actually possessed this kind of strength, and unsure of which holy land she came from.
After all, she looked like a 15-17 years old girl, while the rest of the three were around 21-23 years old. Erza was indeed look older than her actual age. She was taller and had better curves at the right places compared with the girls around her age.
"Hehe, miss Erna's Flame Lotus is indeed not ordinary…" Ling Guo, Lang Yan and Nanda Shi were similarly rather surprised, as they chuckled and remarked.
"I was just lucky that I was the last one to attack. The seal had been damaged badly by your earlier attacks." Erza gently said as she smiled.
*Bang!*
Just as Erza's voice faded, the light screen, that was already covered all over in cracks, finally exploded with a 'bang' sound. An extremely powerful storm unfurled in the skies like a hurricane.
"Go!"
The hurricane did not manage to blow away the four figures in the sky. They watched and at the moment the light screen shattered, their figures simultaneously transformed into rainbow flashes that swept forth. In the blink of an eye, they were almost at the mountain top.
"The seal is open, quick, charge in!"
Upon seeing the four charge towards the old tomb, the crowd below were also madly delighted. Quickly, profound energies whistled in the air as figures filled with power transformed into glowing shadows and swiftly rushed towards the mountain top. For a time, sounds of wind rang out across the mountains.
"We should go too!"
As they saw this scene, Ling Tian's group also planned to leap into action. They glanced at the Lang Clan members, who were already charging towards the mountain top, before hastily trying to catch up.
"Erza, stop!!" Suddenly a voice resounded in Erza's mind as she was about to enter the old tomb.
"Ash?" Erza was pleasantly surprised to hear his voice as she abruptly halted her steps. Ash was finally back!
When she woke up from her coma, Erza found out that Ash's condition was much worse that hers. In fact, he was just hanging by a thread. In her desperation, she surprisingly found Soul Recovery Heavenly Herb inside her storage ring. Yes, it was there!
Erza did not know how the herb ended up in her hand but she assumed that it was Beel who did it. He probably snatched it under the nose of the devil and quickly put it in her storage ring, before sending her away and did the suicide attack.
Thanks to the Heavenly Herb, Ash was saved, but he was still forced to enter a deep sleep to fully recover from his soul injuries. After sleeping for more than five months, Ash finally woke up!
Just as Erza was going to ask why Ash asked her to stop, a flame barrier suddenly appeared and covered her whole body. It was Ash's doing.
*BOOM!!!*
A huge explosion occurred at the site of the old tomb, and the tremors were even felt by the entire Nanda Empire and its neighbours. It was like the end of the world was coming.
