At this moment, a retreat is the only option.

If they stubbornly continue to hold their ground,

I'm afraid they will end up just like the Specter.

Although Sword One is not afraid of death, and neither are the Guardians of the Sword Tomb,

there's no need to sacrifice needlessly.

If the green hills remain, there will be no lack of firewood to burn.

If they all perish here today, the Supreme Sword Technique in the Sword Tomb will still fall into the wrong hands.

Instead of that happening, it's better to enter the Sword Tomb themselves.

Letting the Guardians obtain the Invincible Sword Technique from the Sword Tomb is much better than it falling into the wrong hands.

"Clan Leader, what about them?" The Guardians had already retreated into the crevice.

Su Chen, Ban Cun, and Long Lan,

were all following behind.

Sword One's gaze fell upon Long Lan.

It was this woman who severed his arm.

Moreover, she was associated with the Asura.

"You two can enter the Sword Tomb, but she cannot!" Sword One pointed at Long Lan and said.

If she enters the Sword Tomb,

if she obtains the Supreme Sword Skill from within,

then everything becomes meaningless.

Upon seeing this, Su Chen frowned slightly.

He could not leave Long Lan here to die.

Given Long Lan's current condition,

she wouldn't be able to fend off the Nether Wolf.

"She must go in together!" Su Chen said in an indisputable tone.

Even if he himself does not go in, it doesn't matter.

But Long Lan must go in.

"What exactly is your relationship with her?" Cang Lang also furrowed his brows.

Su Chen's actions were baffling to everyone.

He claimed to be an enemy of the Asura,

yet at this moment, he wanted to help this woman.

"An enemy!" Su Chen replied directly.

Hearing Su Chen's answer, Long Lan slightly lowered her eyelids.

After a moment, she spoke, "Leave me behind..."

"Since she's an enemy, why do you want to save her?"

"Because there are still things I need to ask her!"

"Brother, if you insist on taking her, then we will have no choice but to keep you outside!" said an elderly Guardian.

"Yes, young brother, you know she's associated with the Asura. What if she gets hold of the ancestral swordsmanship..."

"Don't worry, I guarantee she won't touch anything in the Sword Tomb!" Su Chen vowed firmly.

"You guarantee? And what good is that? For all we know, you could be in cahoots with her!"

The situation was becoming troublesome.

Soon, the Nether Wolf would deal with the Specter,

and then charge into the Sword Tomb.

Now, with the Guardian Divine Beast petrified,

nothing could stop these terrifying creatures.

The only option was to enter the Sword Tomb.

In the core of the Sword Tomb, there's a door.

This door can only be opened once.

Once opened, it will close.

Those outside cannot enter.

Entering it means accepting the trial of the Invincible Sword Technique.

Only by passing the test can one exit again.

This was the Guardians' last retreat.

"How about this, let Sword One seal her Inner Strength, and I will take her," Cang Lang suggested upon seeing the Nether Wolf about to strike.

"No way! What if you kill her after sealing?" Su Chen refused outright.

Though he also wanted to kill Long Lan,

he needed to know the full story first.

No one was to lay a hand on Long Lan now.

"I agree." But Long Lan willingly broke away from Su Chen's grasp.

She walked towards Sword One.

Her injuries were severe, each step was difficult.

Watching Long Lan approach,

a murderous intent arose in Sword One's aged eyes.

This woman was associated with the Asura.

And she had severed his hand.

Now was the best time to strike.

Long Lan could naturally sense the murderous intent in Sword One's gaze,

but she was not afraid.

She still moved forward step by step.

She always chose the optimal solution.

It was no different now.

She understood Su Chen's nature,

if she did not willingly let Sword One seal her cultivation,

Su Chen might oppose the Guardians.

If that happened, Su Chen might be in danger too.

These Guardians were not to be relied upon,

but the Nether Wolf behind them was terrifying.

Furthermore, if the Nether Wolf was here,

the Shura King might be too.

Long Lan did not know how formidable the Shura King was.

But since the Shura King dared to bestow Ares' Hand to her,

that was proof enough.

Even if she had Ares' Hand,

the Shura King was confident in dealing with her.

Otherwise, he would never have entrusted Ares' Hand to her.

As Long Lan approached closer,

the murderous intent on Sword One's face grew stronger.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes at Sword One and said nothing.

However, if Sword One dared to make a move on Long Lan,

then he wouldn't mind unleashing a massacre.

With his strength, if he were to unleash a massacre,

no one here could stop him.

Not even Ban Cun could!

Cang Lang was well aware of Sword One's hatred for Long Lan.

Moreover, Long Lan had crippled her cultivation.

If Sword One were to kill Long Lan, it would also be avenging her.

However, if Sword One truly kills Long Lan,

then this young man...

would surely not let it rest.

In truth, the Guardians did not need to take Su Chen and Ban Cun into the Sword Tomb at all.

Yet these two possessed cultivation surpassing even Sword One,

or at the very least, on par with him.

For now, at least it was known they stood with the Guardians.

It was best not to turn against them.

"We can't let them enter the Sword Tomb. Uncle Cang Lang, she crippled your cultivation!" someone suddenly spoke up.

Having her cultivation crippled, Cang Lang felt the most pain.

Cang Lang shook her head sadly and said, "My cultivation was crippled because my skills were inferior, I can't blame anyone else."

This showed that Cang Lang possessed not only high cultivation,

but also a high spirit realm.

Otherwise, anyone else whose cultivation was crippled would not be so calm.

Spirit realm determines a martial artist's limits.

If the spirit realm is high enough, cultivation comes more efficiently.

That's why many masters choose to live reclusively in the mountains.

It's to elevate their spirit realm.

Reaching a state of having no desires is the best.

Cang Lang, at such a young age, had cultivated the Fighting Sword Technique to the Tenth Layer, not without reason.

"Yes, this woman crippled Uncle Cang Lang, so she is our enemy and must not enter the Sword Tomb!"

"What if I can restore Cang Lang's meridians?" Su Chen squinted and said.

Restoring Cang Lang's meridians!

Su Chen's words left many shocked.

As it was known, once the meridians were crippled, recovery was generally deemed impossible.

Even Cang Lang herself didn't believe recovery was possible.
