133: Chapter 133 The Show Begins

A streak of sword qi, like a vast river, instantly pierced through the monster's chest.

Bang—!

The majority of its body was completely shattered by the strike.

As if seeing the dawn of victory,

Lord Pang shouted excitedly,

"Little Sword Saint!! Awesome!! I'll take it from here!!"

As he spoke, he raised his blade and charged forward once again.

The presence of Qi made Lord Pang's resilience increasingly formidable.

Taking a lash from a tentacle wasn't enough to truly injure him; at most, it was just a bit of an itch.

However, Lin Tianyi, who was nearby dodging tentacle attacks, noticed the change in Song Yiqing's expression at that moment.

But he didn't show anything unusual, continuing to coordinate and launch one attack after another.

The members of the Archaeological Team hiding in the corner were also stunned by Song Yiqing's commanding ability.

"This Song Yiqing really does have the air of a battlefield commander. As soon as he stepped in, the situation reversed instantly! Most importantly, he hasn't even made a move himself!!"

"Exactly! That's truly astonishing. I didn't get such a strong feeling when watching the live stream before. As expected, you only get a deep impression when you see it with your own eyes."

"This time, we're finally going to make it through this trial!"

The members of the Archaeological Team spoke one after another.

However, Shi Yao curled his lip, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Hmph! This kid clearly just couldn't escape himself, so he had no choice but to stay and command."

"And didn't you see? Why hasn't he made a move?"

"He's intentionally conserving his strength!"

"His calculating mind is really something else!"

These words caused the others to gradually become somewhat hesitant.

At that moment, Ding Sixing quickly spoke up,

"Professor Shi, we shouldn't be so prejudiced. At least Song Yiqing is still here!"

"Sigh..."

Shi Yao shook his head slightly.

"You think of human nature too simply, always assuming the best of people. But you must understand, there are far more wicked people in this world."

"Professor Shi..."

Ding Sixing wanted to say more, but the other man raised his hand to cut him off.

...

In the bullet chat section:

[I don't know why, but I feel like the current process is a bit too smooth?]

[Yeah! It really is a bit too smooth. How can even Lord Pang shine like this? That's not logical, right?]

[It's really strange. Before, this monster was incredibly strong, completely suppressing Zhe Ningchuan and the other person.]

[Now, just because a few more people showed up and Song Yiqing is commanding, it's turned into a complete stomp?]

[There's definitely something fishy here. The strength of Song Yiqing's team depends entirely on Song Yiqing himself.]

[If Song Yiqing hasn't even moved yet and they can already suppress it, something is very wrong!]

[Exactly. The combat power Zhe Ningchuan showed before was quite explosive!]

[You can't tell me his combat power jumped another huge level just because of Song Yiqing's command, right?]

Online, the netizens all noticed a hint of something unusual.

Inside the Xue Group's board of directors' room,

Wei Chengjun watched the live stream screen without saying a word.

Beside him, Xue Heng said solemnly,

"Elder Wei, it looks like this monster can no longer stop Song Yiqing and the others."

"Is he going to fight his way through again?"

"Hehehehe,"

Wei Chengjun smiled faintly.

"Originally, if they had gone to another forbidden zone, perhaps our defensive measures wouldn't have been so perfect."

"But as it happens, humanity doesn't have that luck!! They just happened to come here."

"Even if Song Yiqing has many tricks up his sleeve, wanting to fight through this Black Sand Great Buddha Temple?"

"That would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens!"

"Wait!"

Xue Heng was startled.

"You were already prepared?"

"Hehehe,"

Wei Chengjun smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

Just then, Xue Heng received a phone call. After hearing the situation from the staff, his expression changed.

"Understood."

After hanging up, Xue Heng looked at Wei Chengjun.

"Elder Wei, for the past two days, there's been a dark website online leeching traffic from our official site."

"It's even taken away many of our customers... test subjects."

"Oh? Siphoned off test subjects?"

Wei Chengjun became curious about the topic.

"What do you mean?"

"It's like this,"

Xue Heng immediately explained in detail about the pills being sold online that were claimed to allow people to step into the extraordinary and become cultivators.

After hearing this, Wei Chengjun couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect them to move so quickly."

"Elder Wei?"

Xue Heng was slightly surprised.

"You know about this?"

"I have a rough idea,"

Wei Chengjun nodded.

"You are relatively familiar with us people from Penglai, so you should understand that Penglai isn't just our faction. There is another group."

"To them, preserving Penglai at the cost of humanity is meaningless."

"So, our ideologies are in major conflict."

"If I'm not mistaken, the people you mentioned who are refining pills are that group."

"They are skilled in alchemy but are unwilling to cooperate with me. Otherwise,"

Wei Chengjun smiled at this point.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to seek cooperation with you."

"Uh... hehehehe,"

Xue Heng gave an awkward smile, but in his heart, he felt a sense of crisis regarding that alchemy organization.

Because ultimately, the only reason he could cooperate now was that Wei Chengjun needed them.

But if the internal conflict in Penglai ended,

Then they wouldn't need an outsider like him anymore.

Immediately, Xue Heng secretly took out his phone and sent a command to a security team:

[Eliminate!]

...

Meanwhile, on the live stream screen, the battle was gradually nearing its end.

And it was at this critical juncture,

That the already half-crippled monster suddenly erupted with immense destructive power.

Countless tentacles danced like wild whips,

Frantically destroying the Arhat statues on the scene.

The fierce battle had long since left Lord Pang and the others somewhat out of breath.

Even Wang Xianzhi was the same.

At this moment, Song Yiqing took a step forward, and six swords flew out simultaneously, shooting forth as the Wuliang Sword Array descended!!

Then, he gripped the seventh sword,

And suddenly executed the Nine Songs Sword Manual.

The sword struck like a shadow, delivering an instant, explosive kill!

Following this strike, Song Yiqing landed as if 'exhausted,' uncontrollably dropping to one knee on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Qilin rushed forward to support him, but the moment he touched Song Yiqing, he saw the intentionally hidden, cunning smile on the other's face.

"..."

He said nothing and carefully helped Song Yiqing up.

At the same time, Lu Ziliang and the others slowly approached. From the opposite side, Zhe Ningchuan, the monk Li Jun, and a middle-aged man from overseas all arrived together.

However, Lord Pang was a step ahead of them.

"Oh my god!! Lord Song! How are you? You..."

He was still anxious, but in the next second, he heard a sentence from Song Yiqing.

"The show begins."
