Divine God Against The Heavens

Chapter 23: Stone Statue

Ye Xiao was careful from the time he took his entry in the tomb, so he could feel the fluctuation of extremely minute energy coming out from these statues. Furthermore, he also did not believe that the owner of the tomb, the person who had once reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm and dominated the entire Azure Dragon Country with his power, would only leave a few restrictions outside his tomb to guard it.

It was very likely that there were also some other things protecting his tomb and this tomb was filled with danger that should not be neglected.

Ye Xiao walked along the path and reached in front of a small iron door. When he reached there, he saw one person was already present and was trying to open the door. That person was a girl, wearing green dress and was looking as beautiful as a fairy.

She was Zhao Yufei. When she heard the footsteps of someone, she turned around and saw a familiar figure approaching her.

"Ye Xiao, we meet again." Zhao Yufei smiled.

Ye Xiao nodded his head and returned a smile in reply then asked, "Is this door locked?"

"Yes this door is locked. I was trying to open it for quite a while but it did not open." Zhao Yufei said looking disappointed.

Looking at the door, he saw many patterns their and on the centre of the door was a small hole, size of a walnut.

"I think this door needed a key to be opened." Ye Xiao said looking at the hole.

"I also think so, let's find the key first." Zhao Yufei said and started searching for the key. Ye Xiao was also searching. Suddenly Ye Xiao's gaze landed on the statue, standing right side of the gate like a gatekeeper.

"I think I found the key." Ye Xiao smiled worriedly.

Zhao Yufei hurriedly comes towards him and asked, "Where is the key?"

Ye Xiao pointed at the statues left ear. There was a small iron key hanging the statues ear like a earring.

Seeing that earring, Zhao Yufei raised her hand in order to take it out but at this time Ye Xiao stops her.

"Wait!"

"What happen?"

"Nothing, it is just I feel that this statue is not that simple. If you see it more carefully, you can feel an extremely weak fluctuation of spirit energy inside the statue. To be more accurate, every statue present here has the same extremely minute presence of spirit energy fluctuation." Ye Xiao said seriously.

Hearing what Ye Xiao has said, Zhao Yufei carefully tried to feel the fluctuation of spirit energy inside the statue and she really did feel it.

"What should we do then. If I am not wrong, the moment we took the key away, this statue will attack us." Zhao Yufei said worriedly.

"Let's do it this way, you hide away first. I will go take the key from the statue's ear."

"But..."

"No but, don't worry. I have a way to escape. When I will escape after taking the key, this statue will surely search for the key and will go further away fro the gate of this room. When it will go far away from the gate, you show up then near this gate. I will throw that key to you and you will open the gate as fast as you can. At that time we will enter." Ye Xiao said to Zhao Yufei.

"No, it is very dangerous, what if you can't run away at that time." Zhao Yufei anxiously said. Even she don't know when, but she was started to be worried about this young man in front of her.

"What, don't tell me you are worried about me?" Ye Xiao smiled slyly.

"You...who is worried about you, scoundrel" Zhao Yufei's cheek suddenly become somewhat red.

"Hehe, Ok, I'm joking. Let's get to work now. You go hide first behind that pillar. I will take away the key after that." Ye Xiao looked at the stone statue and said. His expression was very serious.

Zhao Yufei nodded her head and went to hide behind a pillar that was just beside the left side of the iron door.

When Ye Xiao saw that Zhao Yufei hidden herself well, he took a step forward, raised his hand toward the ear of the stone statue in front of him and quickly took of the key from its ear.

The moment he took off the earring from the ear of the stone statue, an intense wave of energy suddenly erupted from every direction. All the statues present in the spacious hall looked towards the direction Ye Xiao was in and started running in that direction.

It was fortunate that all the peoples that has entered this tomb of the Martial Emperor Realm Expert, were not here. They all had already left the spacious hall and entered the inner area of the tomb. Otherwise there will definitely be a disaster this time.

"Draconic Wings"

He was already prepared, the moment he took off the key from the stone statue's ear, he shouted loudly.

A very beautiful black wing with extremely beautiful golden patterns carved on it appeared behind the back of Ye Xiao.

It was the wings of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

When the wings appeared, Ye Xiao hurried flapped his wings and flied away in the sky toward the different direction. Ye Xiao was flying in the air and all the stone statues were on the ground. They could not do anything to him. They just started running on the ground chasing after Ye Xiao.

Those stone statues were extremely ferocious, they all tried to attack him by jumping from the ground. It was fortunate that the hall was very spacious and there was only he, himself in the sky. On top of that, even though the attack of the stone statues were extremely terrifying, it still took them some time to attack after one attack. So Ye Xiao was easily able to dodge them.
