122: Chapter 122 Bombardment of Penglai! Humanity Will Prevail!

After Hou Kun finished speaking, he let out a secret sigh of relief. He felt that Song Yiqing shouldn't be a martial idiot like Wang Xianzhi who only knew how to fight.

As long as things were explained clearly, surely...

Swoosh!!!

The cloud shuttle longsword launched a sudden sneak attack.

However, Hou Kun's reaction speed was excellent. At the very instant the sword was about to pierce him, he had already made an evasive maneuver.

He dodged the offensive by the narrowest of margins.

Then, he slammed a fist violently toward the blade.

Bang!!!

After taking the hit, the cloud shuttle sword clearly lost its balance before finally flying back under Song Yiqing's control.

"Brother Kun!! I told you already, why waste words with these commoners? We just need to kill them all and be done with it."

"No matter how much you explain, they won't understand."

"..."

With a dark expression, Hou Kun looked at Song Yiqing, who was controlling the sword.

"You..."

"Next, it's my turn."

Before Hou Kun could finish speaking, Wang Xianzhi was already charging toward Tan Wei with her sword in hand.

Her movement technique was learned from the Blind Man; it was elegant yet carried a hint of sharp ferocity.

Tan Wei was already prepared. With a wave of his right hand, the long saber that had previously pierced into the palace instantly flew into his palm.

Then, he slashed forward as if he were splitting a mountain.

"Little girl! Big brother will make you understand why that Blind Man lost an eye!!"

"Idiot!"

Wang Xianzhi's words were simple, but those two words alone made the veins on Tan Wei's forehead bulge.

In that same instant, Wang Xianzhi nimbly dodged his saber strike and followed up with several consecutive thrusts as fast as shadows.

The sword qi was so cold and stern that it forced Tan Wei to bring his saber across to parry.

"Interesting! Truly interesting!"

Tan Wei muttered, though an excited expression had already surfaced on his face.

"Thirty years ago, the Blind Man traveled far to Penglai to challenge our Penglai Sword Immortals."

Heh, he really overplayed his hand!! He was defeated by a single sword strike."

Little girl, you are stronger than the Blind Man, but you won't be able to withstand the next strike."

"..."

Wang Xianzhi didn't say a word, instead gradually maintaining an even stronger focus.

Flashes of memory raced through her mind, from the moment she was adopted by the Blind Man to everything she had experienced since officially becoming his disciple.

She was originally an orphan. If not for the Blind Man, she might have frozen to death on the streets long ago.

And now, someone was insulting him. Anger began to surge within her.

"I'm angry!"

With her willow-leaf brows upturned, Wang Xianzhi's figure blurred as she instantly appeared in front of Tan Wei.

She swung her sword, and with just one strike, Tan Wei's expression began to change.

Then, before he could even react—

Wang Xianzhi's sword thrusts came at him like falling rain.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sword was like a phantom, impossible to see clearly.

All that could be seen was Wang Xianzhi becoming more and more focused.

...

[Is this the real Wang Xianzhi? This swordsmanship is just too cool!]

[Indeed! Ethereal! Elegant! She's truly a heroine among women!]

[Mom, mom! I want to practice the sword too!!]

[The person above should go practice the Sunflower Manual instead!]

[But even though every one of Wang Xianzhi's strikes is strong, have you noticed that Tan Wei is adapting? He's gradually starting to keep up!]

[Penglai... could it be that an immortal has come out from that place?]

...

Inside the armored vehicle,

Mo Yu and Yu Lin were still watching the livestream. When Tan Wei and Hou Kun appeared and identified themselves,

their expressions changed slightly.

"The people of Penglai have finally come out after all."

Mo Yu shook his head slightly.

"This is truly troublesome!"

"In the end, no matter what, we were bound to encounter them eventually,"

Yu Lin said.

"From the current situation, Song Yiqing and the others should have the best chance. As such, I think we can begin the next step of our plan on our end."

"You think Song Yiqing and the others can win against these people from Penglai?"

Mo Yu asked doubtfully.

"They are the ones who killed the Giant Ground Sloth and the Flood Dragon Python."

Facing those two behemoths, Song Yiqing and the others could only run."

"That's hard to say,"

Yu Lin shook his head slightly.

"Time is running out. The sixth and seventh Forbidden Zones will appear soon."

If we don't proceed to the next step of the plan as quickly as possible, then we'll be the ones holding everyone back."

As his voice fell, the middle-aged man sitting opposite them crossed his arms and fell into deep thought. Two seconds later, he spoke.

"Initiate Directive Seven: Bombard Penglai!"

After finishing, the middle-aged man looked at Yu Lin.

"The plan has begun. You two may depart!"

"Hehehe, always ready."

As Yu Lin spoke, he tightened his custom-made armor and then took a heavy swig of alcohol.

"On this journey, humanity shall surely prevail!"

...

On the livestream screen,

because the battle between Tan Wei and Wang Xianzhi was so intense, the drone livestream ball was focused entirely on them, completely ignoring Song Yiqing on the other side.

Song Yiqing stood to the side drinking. With a flick of his fingers, he commanded three Flying Swords to launch a sharp offensive against Hou Kun.

"Song Yiqing! Can you just let me finish speaking!"

"You're annoying!"

Song Yiqing didn't want to bother with him at all. This Hou Kun had come up saying that their Penglai was doing everything for the sake of all humanity on Blue Star, and that they had paid such-and-such a heavy price to successfully limit the expansion of the Forbidden Zones.

And now, if they continued, or even opened the coffin, it might cause variables to surge,

thereby leading to the true revival of the Forbidden Zone.

As soon as Song Yiqing heard this, he knew it was pure talk-no-jutsu.

The more they were told not to open the coffin, the more he wanted to open it.

"Old Lin!! Fatty! Wang Shan, Little Brother! Hurry up and open the coffin for me!"

"You got it!!"

Fatty gave a shout and then proceeded to light an incense candle in the southeast corner.

Although Zhang Qilin wanted to open it directly, Fatty insisted that as Mojin practitioners, they had to follow the Mojin rules.

So he was dawdling there, setting up the corpse-binding ropes.

Seeing that Song Yiqing had no intention of communicating properly, Hou Kun felt a surge of anger rush straight to his head.

"If you persist in your delusions, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Tsk."

Song Yiqing took a few more gulps of wine, once again stacking his alcohol aura to forty layers, while simultaneously activating the Golden Light Curse.

"You talk so high and mighty. You're the one who came up here trying to kill us, and now you want to act like a good person?"

Kid, even a prostitute trying to build a monument to her chastity wouldn't do it like this."

At least try to fake it a little bit first, right?"

"You!!!"

Hou Kun was completely enraged, and his majestic Qi erupted in layer upon layer.

The terrifying pressure even directly affected Tan Wei and Wang Xianzhi, who were fighting nearby.

Seeing this, Tan Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha! Pushing my Brother Kun to his limit—this is your biggest mistake! So stupid!"

"Idiot, watch the sword!"

Wang Xianzhi remained silent, but inwardly she was looking forward to Song Yiqing drawing his sword.

Only then could she determine if the gap between them had narrowed.
