After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao stood back to back, staring vigilantly at the approaching statue.

These statues exude a dark luster all over their bodies, and their bodies are tall and majestic. Although their movements are slightly stiff, they seem to contain endless power. Every step they take makes the ground tremble slightly, and the sense of oppression they exude is as unabated as a mountain pressing down on one's head.

Chu Lingxiao whispered, "Qingze, it looks like we have no choice but to fight."

Gu Qingze gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce look flashed in Gu Qingze's eyes, and he took the lead in attacking.

The sword in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air, with sword flowers flashing, and stabbed swiftly towards the nearest statue.

The statue seemed to be unconscious and did not dodge or evade, but took the blow head on.

The sword pierced its iron-hard body, making a sharp sound of metal colliding, sparks flying, and only a shallow mark was left, as if it had just lightly brushed its surface.

Seeing this, Chu Lingxiao quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A surging fire tornado swept towards the statues that were approaching step by step.

The flames burned fiercely on the statues, like blooming blazing red lotuses, but they seemed unaware of it, still pressing forward with expressionless faces, without slowing down their pace at all.

Gu Qingze's eyes narrowed, and he said loudly: "Ling Xiao, attack their joints, maybe it can restrict their movements!"

Chu Lingxiao understood what he meant and concentrated on controlling the flames, aiming them precisely at the joints of the statue.

Under the high temperature, tiny cracks began to appear on the joints of some statues. The originally flexible joints became less smooth and the movements gradually became slower.

Gu Qingze took the opportunity to display his sword skills, and each stab of his sword accurately hit the weak joints of the statue.

For a moment, the statue's offensive was temporarily contained.

However, just when they breathed a sigh of relief, the statues suddenly emitted a red light, which became increasingly intense, like a burning flame, hot and strange.

The cracks that had originally appeared began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had the magical ability to self-repair.

Chu Lingxiao's face changed drastically: "No, this is not a solution!"

Gu Qingze swung his sword vigorously to resist the increasingly fierce attacks of the statues, and said anxiously: "We must find a way to completely destroy them!"

At this moment, Chu Lingxiao accidentally caught a glimpse of some glowing runes on the top of the stone chamber during the fierce battle.

His mind suddenly moved, and he shouted, "Qingze, maybe the runes on it are the key to controlling these statues!"

Gu Qingze looked up when he heard that, and saw the runes flashing with light. He said without hesitation, "I'll try!"

His figure flashed and he rushed towards the top of the stone chamber like an arrow.

But the statues seemed to have sensed his intention and stretched out their strong arms to stop him.

Their movements were swift and fierce, trying to pull Gu Qingze back to the ground.

Chu Lingxiao quickly condensed balls of blazing fire with his hands, which smashed towards the blocking statues like meteors, disrupting their movements and buying him a chance.

With the assistance of Chu Lingxiao, Gu Qingze finally approached the rune at the top.

He raised the sword high, gathered all the spiritual power in his body into the sword, and slashed at the rune with all his strength.

There was a loud bang, like thunder, and the rune shattered instantly, and the light dissipated.

The statues also stopped moving and stood stiffly in place, turning back into motionless statues.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao then collapsed on the ground, feeling relieved, leaning on each other, trying to recover as much as possible within the limited time.

However, Gu Qingze's shaking hands holding the sword and Chu Lingxiao's heavy breathing and slightly weak appearance mercilessly revealed their current state of exhaustion.

Although they would take recovery potions after each battle, potions were just potions after all. Even if they could play a certain role in recovery, such a long and continuous battle still made them physically and mentally exhausted.
