102: Chapter 102 You... comprehended the sword intent!

A white light suddenly exploded with a roar!!

In just an instant, Wang Xianzhi was sent flying by the blast.

Then, a decadent Buddhist chant began to ring out continuously in her ears like eerie whispers.

"Ugh..."

As Wang Xianzhi stabilized herself, she heard this strange sound, and her figure froze instantly.

It was as if all directions had fallen into darkness.

Everything had disappeared.

A second later, a figure walked out from the left; it was herself.

Another figure walked out from the right; it was also her.

The appearance of these figures constantly disturbed Wang Xianzhi's spirit, causing her to gradually verge on a breakdown.

Because what they said was all quite similar.

'You are not as good as Song Yiqing,'

'Your sword is not as fast as his!'

'Before he appeared in the world, you had the greatest talent in the Way of the Sword,'

'You cannot defeat Song Yiqing,'

These words wrapped around her mind frantically like specters.

Suddenly!

A voice like a dawn gradually came through.

It was the chanting of an incantation.

'Who is it? Who is there?'

Wang Xianzhi was shocked to her core, and as she gradually regained her senses, she realized that the owner of this voice was—Song Yiqing!

"Whew——"

With a sudden jolt, Wang Xianzhi pulled herself out of that eerie state in a daze.

She gasped for breath heavily, her hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

Because the sword strike Song Yiqing had unleashed on the second floor was lingering in her mind, impossible to dispel.

The sword principles contained within that strike made her feel somewhat inferior.

That was why she had agreed so readily when faced with Song Yiqing's difficult demands.

Because she was escaping.

She was afraid.

She was afraid of facing Song Yiqing directly.

Afraid of losing, afraid of losing completely...

Meanwhile, Song Yiqing began to issue commands in a low voice.

"Old Lin, right flank! Concentrate fire on the base of the Buddha statue! There's something strange about that spot,"

"Fatty, take the Qian Position! Three steps to the east; this stone statue is one with the entire thirty-third floor,"

"..."

Song Yiqing's analysis was extremely precise, dissecting everything here in an instant.

To deal with the opponent, the best way was naturally to tear him apart bit by bit.

If it had an advantage in Feng Shui and terrain, then he would break those first.

Only after doing everything possible would it be time for the real killing strike!

Song Yiqing took another big gulp of wine, continuing to accumulate wine qi.

But suddenly!

His heart tightened!

'What's going on? This aura...'

How keen was the perception of the Taotie Bloodline? When a weird monster appeared, it would generate a strong desire to devour.

And now, from the direction they had come from, a similar aura had appeared.

But the intensity of this aura was gradually reaching a level comparable to the Flood Dragon Python!!

He took a secret breath and simultaneously activated a reward he had obtained after reaching this top floor.

[Challenge Mission: Enter the top floor of the Demon Tower. Completed. Obtained SS-grade reward: Troop Puppet!]

The so-called Troop Puppet, once activated, could randomly manifest a soldier-type puppet out of thin air at a location, inheriting seventy percent of his own abilities.

At the same time, it could swap positions with the original body.

It could be said to be an extremely strong life-saving method.

Even more, it was a lethal weapon for slaughter.

As he softly uttered the incantation, a figure slowly condensed in the corner, appearing silently and escaping most people's notice.

But it did not escape the Blind Man.

He turned his head to glance sideways but remained calm, murmuring in his heart,

'Interesting methods,'

...

Bullet screen area:

[This White Jade Stone Buddha is simply too terrifying!

It took out Wang Xianzhi in one move?]

[Good heavens! How the hell are they supposed to fight this! It's completely impossible! Wang Xianzhi almost killed her way through the whole path,

Yet here she was taken down in a single encounter. How was that even possible?]

[One can only say the strength of the White Jade Stone Buddha is far beyond imagination!]

[This Song Yiqing is really an idiot! When Wang Xianzhi rushed up just now, he should have acted instead of acting cool!!]

[Exactly, if they lose, won't we lose the chance to uncover the secret of the forbidden zone's formation? This is going to be the death of me!]

[WTF?? You're blaming Song Yiqing for this too? Use your brain, person upstairs!]

[It's ridiculous how Song Yiqing gets hate no matter what the situation is!]

...

On the Flying Tiger Archaeology Team's livestream screen,

They had already left the side hall and were continuing their advance.

At the same time, they were constantly monitoring the situation in the livestream.

Seeing Wang Xianzhi appear, Xue Xingye was undoubtedly the most indignant, feeling that Song Yiqing was just slick-tongued and had actually tricked someone into being his hired muscle.

However, when Wang Xianzhi was defeated and even lost the strength to fight again, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But just then, he noticed that someone was missing from the team.

"Eh?? Strange, it seems Elder Kang has been missing since we left the side hall?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly remembered.

"Eh!! If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have known,"

"Strange, where did Elder Kang go?"

"Weird! Didn't we all leave together?"

While everyone was puzzled,

Fei Erfeng also looked around. Because he had been watching the livestream, his attention hadn't been on others at all, so he hadn't noticed that two people had vanished.

Then, after scanning the area again, he said in surprise,

"Shi Zhishan is gone too?"

As soon as this was said, everyone present immediately felt an invisible fear frantically taking shape.

They looked around with slight dread, subconsciously huddling closer together, trying to find warmth in the group.

...

On the livestream screen, the battle was in full swing.

Song Yiqing controlled three Flying Swords, constantly drinking wine to accumulate sword qi.

At the same time, he was sensing that presence that was about to arrive.

He rarely felt waves of tension.

The White Jade Stone Buddha was gradually weakening under his layers of attacks.

Right at this critical moment, the red leaf sword instantly pierced the White Jade Stone Buddha's throat.

Then, a small fragment fell out.

Song Yiqing quickly pocketed it, then rapidly circulated the Qi Refining Scripture and used the ability of the Taotie Bloodline to devour the spirit on the White Jade Stone Buddha.

The cooldown for Fanpu Qi Absorption was almost over.

But that would be his greatest trump card.

Using the Wuliang Sword Array had once again left him somewhat exhausted, especially since he had to activate the Nine Songs Sword Manual again to break the White Jade Stone Buddha's armor.

He had even unleashed several sword strikes in succession before truly killing it!

As the sword qi surged, the sword heart merged into it, and the Sword Intent overflowed, making Wang Xianzhi look at him in shock.

"You... have comprehended Sword Intent!!"
