153: Chapter 153 Next, it's your turn.

"Enveloping the entire Blue Star..."

Although Xue Heng knew that the Forbidden Land would inevitably expand to cover the entire Blue Star, plunging the world into purgatory, and that Penglai would remain the only pure land, which was why he was trying so hard to cling to Wei Chengjun, the speed at which this Forbidden Land was developing was truly exceeding his imagination.

If the Forbidden Land had already spread everywhere before he could master extraordinary powers, would he even have a chance to enter Penglai?

Or, if Song Yiqing were to be completely defeated, would he become nothing more than a discarded pawn...

As these various thoughts swirled in his mind, the sense of crisis within Xue Heng intensified, and he began to grow anxious; the fearful gaze he directed at Wei Chengjun was now tinged with a hint of hostility.

On the livestream screen, the brief standoff did not last long before Xue Xingye stepped out like a rabid Tibetan Mastiff.

"Song Yiqing, we have finally met."

"Hm?" Song Yiqing first looked him up and down with confusion, then asked, "Do we know each other?"

"Hehehehe," Xue Xingye laughed, sounding slightly deranged. "This is truly interesting! I have always regarded you as my mortal enemy!! Ever since college, I have made you my goal! I just wanted to crush you! I have traveled such a long road, and now, I finally stand before you!"

"..." Looking at his appearance, and simultaneously sensing the aura of the Blue-faced Buddha Man on him, Song Yiqing said regretfully, "Sorry, I... really didn't know you existed."

"????" Xue Xingye was stunned and couldn't recover for a long while.

In the distance, the fat man who was fighting the monk Li Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Pfft—hahahaha!!"

His laughter was so infectious that even Lin Tianyi and the others couldn't help but hold back their own. Even Wang Xianzhi was somewhat surprised; how did any stray cat or dog start considering themselves a big deal?

[Barrage Section] [Pfft! Hahaha! No way? Bro, you actually treated Song Yiqing as your lifelong enemy, but he doesn't even know who you are!] [What good does it do me if you die laughing? Buddy??] [I'm dying of laughter! Seriously, I'm going crazy with laughter. How can someone be so self-righteous?? To think he actually belongs in Song Yiqing's eyes?] [Amazing! Just amazing!! I see the shadow of Guo Xueyan in him. Could it be that using drugs from the Xue Group turns you into a moron?] [He talked all that tough talk, but it turns out Song Yiqing doesn't even know him and even apologized. I want to say there is no insult stronger than this!]

On the livestream screen, Xue Xingye gradually recovered, and the tentacles on his body began to rise one after another.

"Hehehehe," he sneered. "Good! Very good! Truly good!! Song Yiqing, you don't know me? Well, now I will tell you, my name is..."

Bang! In an instant, six circling Flying Swords descended without warning, the target naturally being Xue Xingye. And this was not the end; he rubbed his hands together to conjure a Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus and threw it over immediately. Regardless of whether the opponent had any buff effects, he cleared them all away. Then, taking advantage of the fact that Xue Xingye had not yet stood up, he instantly unleashed the Five Thunder Heavenly Star Technique!

Boom—a thunderous explosion rang out, instantly shattering and churning the stone slabs on the ground. After finishing this move, Song Yiqing looked at Kang Mo, who was watching from the sidelines. "And then?"

"There is no 'then'," Kang Mo shook his head slightly. "Someone has already opened the door below; the wheels of fate cannot be stopped. Song Yiqing, enter the Third Forbidden Land!"

"Riddle-maker," Song Yiqing remarked, then took the seventh sword—Cang—from his sword box. The moment the steady and powerful sword was in his hand, he used his Sword Intent to merge with it, and his Sword Intent surged. The Wine Qi, stacked to forty layers, was also completely released at this moment.

"If you have anything else to say, just say it, lest I search your soul."

"Hehehe," Kang Mo couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Song Yiqing. "You really do have energy to spare. Song Yiqing, you hide too deeply! Truly, until the very last moment, one can never see through how many trump cards you still have."

"Just a little bit," Song Yiqing shook his head slightly, without further explanation. In fact, even without Kang Mo's reminder, he had already sensed the increasingly dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the scene, along with a powerful aura that was slowly approaching.

[Challenge Quest: Kill the Black-faced Living Buddha! Obtain an SSR-grade reward!]

Another SSR! Song Yiqing only felt a headache. There was another head currently inside the dragon seal scroll, which hadn't yet... As this thought arose, he delved his consciousness into the dragon seal scroll to check on the refinement progress, but he heard a voice, 'Song Yiqing!! If you have the ability, kill me!!'

"Hm?" Song Yiqing was slightly surprised to hear the voice of Hou Kun. He had thought the other party had died directly, so he hadn't paid any attention when he was sucked into the dragon seal scroll, but the situation now appeared to be otherwise.

After noticing the unexpected change within the dragon seal scroll, a new idea began to rise in his heart. The next second, Xue Xingye, who had originally been blasted into the ground, rushed out again with tentacles covering his entire body.

"Song Yiqing!! You cannot kill me! You cannot defeat me!! I, Xue Xingye, will definitely step on your head..."

Bang!! Song Yiqing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and blasted him away with a single Palm Thunder. At the same time, he quickly began to search for Kang Mo's figure on the scene, but he had vanished like a shadow.

In the midst of his confusion, Wang Xianzhi suddenly shouted, "Song Yiqing! Behind you!!!!"

She wasn't just shouting; after forcing Zhe Ningchuan back with a sword strike, she slashed out a wave of Sword Intent towards the entrance of the corridor.

Boom!!! Dust filled the air, and a jet-black thousand-armed Black-faced Living Buddha slowly climbed out from within. His mouth was constantly chanting a rather eerie Buddhist sound, but when it reached their ears, it allowed people to instantly understand his words: 'Sacrifice yourself! Sacrifice yourself!'

Seeing this scene, Zhe Ningchuan and the others immediately prepared to flee, but the moment they moved, the Black-faced Living Buddha suddenly extended three hands, piercing through their chests and plucking out their hearts.

"Amitabha, how virtuous, how virtuous!" the Black-faced Living Buddha said indifferently, and a smile appeared on his eerie face, "Next, it is your turn."
