129: Chapter 129 Hide in the back!

He barked out a shout,

and then launched his counterattack right at that moment.

However, Song Yiqing's sword was clearly faster.

cloud shuttle, Blue Frost, Red Leaf, Absolute Shadow, Calamity Breaker, and Life Slayer all made their appearances.

But the sword currently in Song Yiqing's hand was the seventh one—Cang!!

"Break!!!"

The Sword Heart, nurtured through repeated battles, had granted Song Yiqing an extremely high level of understanding of the sword.

As a result, when he personally wielded a sword—especially the Cang Sword, which was best suited for head-on clashes—

his momentum was only fiercer.

The Nine Songs Sword Manual was unleashed once more.

Although it was only an SS-rank sword technique, and couldn't even compare to the Five Thunder Heavenly Star Art,

the power of the technique climbed as Song Yiqing's understanding of the sword grew deeper.

Furthermore, with the enhancement of the Cang Sword,

its power would not lose to any SSS-rank skill.

Just as Hou Kun noticed Wang Xianzhi and Zhang Qilin attacking him together,

he realized Song Yiqing was also multitasking and launching a sneak attack from the side.

"Bastard!! Playing dirty again!!"

Hou Kun was extremely wary of Song Yiqing's ever-changing methods.

If another Buddha Lotus appeared and wiped out all his buffs, he would be in a certain-death situation today.

So, the priority was to kill Song Yiqing first!!

But just as this thought occurred to Hou Kun, he felt something was off.

Song Yiqing was already consuming a massive amount of Qi to control his swords against the Queen Zongzi; how could he possibly spare much power to attack him?

Conversely, Wang Xianzhi's unstoppable Sword Intent was actually the most dangerous!

"Heh! Song Yiqing, you're quite the actor, but this time..."

Puchi!!

Before he could finish his sentence,

Song Yiqing accelerated and drove the sword into his body.

Sword Qi erupted instantly!

Boom!!!

A massive hole was blasted into Hou Kun's body.

However, with his tenacious vitality, tentacles were already sprouting from the wound, weaving together to heal it.

Seeing this, Song Yiqing flicked his left hand and threw a dagger coated in the poison of the Myriad Venom Palm, skillfully landing it right in Hou Kun's wound.

"Aaaagh!"

The agony forced an unbearable scream from Hou Kun.

The toxin rapidly spread throughout his body, emitting a foul, rotting stench.

Fatty, watching from a distance, was slightly shocked by the scene.

'My god, thank goodness I'm on Lord Song's side!! How tragic, how tragic!'

...

In the comment section:

[Holy crap! He just overturned everything in an instant??]

[Nice, nice, nice. Song Yiqing, you really are something! Mixing the real with the fake, they can't defend against it at all!]

[No matter how strong the enemy is, they have to kneel and scream once they meet Song Yiqing, the dirtiest player of them all.]

[Luckily Song Yiqing is one of ours. Sob, otherwise I can't imagine how miserable we'd be.]

[You guys missed the main point! The point is, why can Song Yiqing pull out a seventh sword!!]

[Just how many swords are hidden in his sword casket??]

[This is insane. Who's the real Sword Saint's successor? Didn't they say Song Yiqing's master is Master Yu Lin? Why do I feel like Song Yiqing is the Sword Saint's actual disciple?]

[Song Yiqing is too mysterious. He has more trump cards than I have hairs on my head.]

[Brothers, don't celebrate too early. There's still a big problem!! The Queen Zongzi is only barely being suppressed!]

[Yeah! If she isn't dealt with, she'll probably be the biggest trouble!]

...

In the Xue Group's research lab,

Wen Xiuya watched the fluctuating data with growing excitement and agitation.

"Hahahaha! Good, good!! My research direction was indeed correct.

So this is the mystery of the Penglai People's bodies.

Xue Xingye is getting closer and closer to being a Penglai person now!

So these tiny pores are where they store Qi?

How miraculous. The human body truly is the most mysterious thing in the world!"

The monitor displayed various changes occurring in Xue Xingye's body at that moment.

Wen Xiuya continuously recorded the data while using big-data AI to make further adjustments.

"If I can research this further, I can truly unlock the mystery of how Forbidden Zones are formed!!"

As she spoke, she pulled up data on the monsters within those Forbidden Zones.

However, she suddenly noticed that the data for particle activity began to plummet.

"Eh? What's going on? Why is this happening?"

She quickly opened Song Yiqing's livestream.

On the screen,

the Queen Zongzi suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful shockwave, letting out an agonizing sound.

Then, the scepter embedded with a heart began to throb frantically at that moment.

In the next instant, it suddenly exploded into pieces!!

The moment the heart shattered, the particle activity data began to drop.

Following that, the particle activity data for the entire Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone began to slide downward.

This unprecedented situation gave Wen Xiuya a sudden shock.

"That scepter, that heart... is the core of the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone??

Destroying it can calm the particle fluctuations of the Forbidden Zone?

This... is the method to solve the Forbidden Zone?"

At this thought, her emotions became even more intense.

Although she hadn't found how the Forbidden Zone was formed,

she seemed to have found a direct way to resolve it!

But suddenly, she recalled the message generated by the particle fluctuations collected earlier: 'Humans are ants'.

This message caused Wen Xiuya's movements to freeze.

She thought about it for a moment and eventually called Xue Heng.

However, when the latter received the news, his reaction was indifferent, merely saying, "Fine, I know."

"Why?"

Wen Xiuya was stunned and confused. Logically, as the discoverer of such vital information, the Xue Group should be at the forefront of the world.

But now...

She shook her head and stopped overthinking it.

The most important thing right now was the research!

...

On the livestream screen,

the battle was still incredibly fierce.

The sudden eruption of Queen Zongzi and the resulting violent airwaves caused Lin Tianyi and the others to fall unconscious.

Wang Xianzhi stood with her sword, gritting her teeth.

"Song Yiqing!! If I..."

"Get behind me!"
