Chapter 274 Relics of the Strong

"It's all okay." Billy said calmly.

"The martial aura we sensed in the cave earlier was probably a technique left behind by that powerful individual to protect his final resting place."

While they were still in that open space earlier, Billy had sensed the martial aura, and upon arriving here, his suspicions were confirmed. That was why he allowed the members of Inferno Sect to enter the cave first.

"Oh, I see." Rakshasa nodded, though not entirely understanding.

Afterward, Billy's group entered the cave one by one, with James Harper guarding the entrance with a hundred Bloodshadow Guard members.

Two minutes later, they traversed a narrow passage and arrived in a spacious cavern. As they looked around, the cave was over ten meters high and measured about three to four hundred meters in length and width. Several openings in the ceiling allowed sunlight to filter in.

The cave was filled with various stalactites. In the center, there was a stream, about two meters wide, flowing gently. Apart from the stalactites and the stream, the cave also had some vegetation and a dozen or so trees with unrecognizable names.

"I never expected to find a place like this inside!" Judge looked around and commented with emotion. After a pause, he continued, "But this place doesn't seem to indicate the fall of a powerful expert. Aside from rocks and trees, there's nothing else."

"Boss, did we come to the wrong place?" Casey asked.

"According to the map, we shouldn't be in the wrong place unless the rumors are false." Billy responded and released his spiritual power to investigate.

"Hmm?" After a moment, Billy frowned slightly. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"What's wrong?" Casey asked.

"Let's go over there," Billy said and walked deeper into the cave, with the others following closely.

Before long, they arrived in front of a stalactite that was about two meters tall. Billy circled around the stalactite and squinted.

"Is there something wrong with this rock?" White Tiger asked, reaching out to touch it. As he touched the stalactite, there was a faint tremor in the cave, and several rocks fell from the ceiling.

"Be careful!" Billy shouted.

Immediately after, a tremendous pressure exploded from him, enveloping everyone. Simultaneously, dozens of stalactites, as thick as arms, shot at them like lightning from the walls and the cave's ceiling.

The stalactites slammed against Billy's protective aura, making a dull sound, and then shattered on the ground. Even with Billy's protective aura, Casey and the others could still feel the pressure. They knew that without this protection, they would have been severely injured today.

"What the heck, who set up such a terrifying trap here?" Judge cursed.

"The rumors are likely true," Casey said thoughtfully. "Judging by that attack just now, this couldn't have been arranged by anyone below the War Emperor level." He turned to Billy and continued, "Boss, there might be something strange inside this rock."

Billy nodded and instructed, "Step back, everyone."

Casey and the others stepped back about ten meters. Billy then placed his hand on the stalactite and released his inner energy to investigate.

"As I suspected," Billy said after a while, his eyebrows raised, his eyes showing a glint of excitement.

Suddenly, his aura skyrocketed, unmistakably revealing his War Emperor-level power. At the same time, a powerful pressure flowed into the stalactite through his palm. The stalactite exploded like a bomb, and rock fragments filled the air. Simultaneously, there was another slight tremor in the cave. Soon, a two-meter-high opening appeared on the wall not far from where they stood, leading to a space of about twenty to thirty square meters.

"Commander Gardner, there's a person inside!" Rakshasa's voice rang out.

Everyone looked, and in the center of the space, there was a smooth stone slab about a meter high, with a rusty sword next to it. Strictly speaking, it couldn't be called a person, but rather a completely intact human skeleton.

The cave's walls were smooth, unlike the uneven exterior. On all sides were images of a person wielding a sword in various poses.

"Indeed, this should be the War Emperor-level powerhouse." Judge remarked as they stood at the entrance.

They hadn't entered the space, out of respect for the deceased. At the same time, a tremendous oppressive aura surged from the cave, causing everyone except Billy and Casey to shiver involuntarily.

"Wow, it's been decades, and there's still such a powerful aura. This person must have been at least in the later stages of the War Emperor realm." Judge marveled. After a moment, he continued, "But it seems like there's nothing inside, except for these walls. So many people wanted this map just to see the remains?"

"There's something on the walls!" Casey pointed toward the cave's interior.

Judge and the others turned to look.

"It's true!" White Tiger exclaimed.

They hadn't paid much attention before, but now they noticed that the walls were carved with numerous images of a person wielding a sword, showcasing an incredibly skillful sword technique.

"No wonder this is a later-stage War Emperor." Casey said thoughtfully. "Such a sophisticated sword technique!"

"Rakshasa, if I remember correctly, you also practice sword techniques, in addition to your whip skills, right?" Billy asked.

"Indeed, Commander Gardner." Rakshasa nodded.

"Then, memorize this sword technique on the wall. It suits you very well." Billy continued.

He had also recognized the extraordinary nature of this sword technique. Unfortunately, his other subordinates were all more proficient with blades and thus the sword technique on the wall might not have piqued their interest. They were well aware that both Bloodshadow Blade Technique and Cold Moon Blade Technique were far more advanced than ordinary blade techniques. Casey, for example, could only unleash about 30% of the Bloodshadow Blade Technique's power at most.

So, they wouldn't go out of their way to learn other blade techniques.

"What?!" Rakshasa was momentarily taken aback.
