177: Chapter 177 I Want You Dead!

"Oh my god!! People from Penglai really aren't human!! They're more devilish than the last!"

Fatty couldn't stop exclaiming in shock.

Meanwhile, Wang Xianzhi, who was currently clashing swords with Wang Yao, didn't forget to chime in at this moment.

"Penglai... none of them are human!"

"Alright, alright, alright!"

Fatty marveled repeatedly.

"You're even eating melon while clashing swords. Little Sword Saint, why don't you change your name to the Melon-Eating Sword Saint!"

"You damn fatty!"

Wang Xianzhi puffed out her cheeks in anger, but Wang Yao's Wine Sword Technique was extremely sharp, instantly suppressing her once again.

She was left with no way to teach Fatty a lesson at that moment.

Then, Gong Zhigao, standing opposite them, spoke in a clear voice.

"Heh! So what if I killed them? The qualification for eternal life belongs to the few."

"But as long as I live on, they will likewise obtain eternal life."

"They will accompany me by my side for a lifetime!!"

His chilling words sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

At this time, Hou Kun, who was controlling the Queen Zongzi, said in a low voice,

"Yan'er loved you, which is why she didn't leave with me back then."

"Thinking back to this day, that was a mistake."

"Today, I will completely settle this mistake!!"

"Humanity shall prevail!"

As he spoke, he manipulated the Queen Zongzi's head with a series of clicks to slowly turn toward Song Yiqing.

"Master! This battle cannot be lost!"

"..."

Song Yiqing remained silent for a moment. He always felt that hearing these words from Hou Kun's mouth felt bizarre.

Just over ten hours ago, he was still shouting that Penglai would prevail and humanity would perish.

Yet now, everything had been flipped upside down.

It was truly somewhat laughable.

However, he also wanted to resolve the trouble in front of him as quickly as possible and then leave the Lost Land.

The longer they delayed here, the more unknown situations they would have to face.

In the next second, he manipulated six Flying Swords to instantly blast toward Gong Zhigao.

The latter had no intention of dodging at all; he simply waved his hand.

A surge of tyrannical Qi instantly gushed out.

In the next second,

Those six Flying Swords were all knocked away simultaneously, falling and stabbing into the ground at odd angles.

Instantly falling into a disadvantage was a scenario Lin Tianyi, Fatty, and the others had never expected.

Fatty looked at Song Yiqing in shock, then looked at Gong Zhigao opposite them.

Immediately after, he cried out,

"Wait? Is this guy really that terrifying? He actually knocked Lord Song's Flying Swords away in an instant???"

"..."

Hou Kun also looked at both sides in shock, then spoke in disbelief,

"How did you become so strong?"

"Hehehe,"

Gong Zhigao laughed calmly.

"Surprised? No, this isn't worth being surprised about. The Forbidden Zone has already entered the Devouring Phase."

"The globalization of Forbidden Zones can no longer be stopped!!"

"And we are destined to be the most special existences."

"..."

Hou Kun stared at him blankly.

"So from beginning to end, we Penglai People were all just disposable pawns!!"

"Hehehe,"

Gong Zhigao sneered.

"Just realizing it now? People are divided into ranks; humans are lower than Penglai People."

"And among Penglai People, there are also lowly people like you."

"In the selection of life, it is only natural to choose noble people like us."

"So, don't mind it too much."

"From the very beginning, it was impossible for you to survive."

"Burning your last bit of strength for Penglai is your mission."

"But! Hou Kun, you are disloyal."

As Gong Zhigao spoke these words, everyone present felt a sense of urgency.

Penglai was making its move!

...

In the bullet chat area,

[We're doomed!! Globalization of Forbidden Zones?? Is this Penglai's true goal?]

[Damn it, no wonder so many Forbidden Zones appeared. Everything is going according to Penglai's plan!]

[Bastards! Bastards! Truly bastards!!]

[How can this Gong Zhigao's combat power be so beyond comprehension?]

[He actually knocked away Song Yiqing's Flying Swords so easily!]

[How is that even possible!]

[Never before has this happened, never. I thought this was just a small stumbling block,]

[Who would have thought it's actually a mountain!]

[How can they even fight this? I feel like even if Song Yiqing and the others join forces, it'll be hard to actually injure Gong Zhigao?]

[Stop talking, stop talking. If you keep going, my heart is going to explode!]

...

At the same time,

Inside the Dawn vehicle,

When Gong Zhigao easily knocked away Song Yiqing's Flying Swords, it immediately caused everyone to cry out in surprise.

"How is this possible? Gong Zhigao shouldn't be strong to this extent, right?"

Liu Tao spoke out in astonishment.

And Wei Fengzhao, in the passenger seat, said bluntly,

"According to combat power estimates, Gong Zhigao's strength should be absolutely weaker than Lu Ziliang was earlier."

"He should be on par with the Black-faced Living Buddha."

"There is absolutely no way he should be able to display strength that could crush Song Yiqing!"

"Could it be..."

Yin Yan said doubtfully,

"Could Penglai have some other strange methods? Those people are extremely bizarre."

"They might just have some kind of evil cultivation method."

"That possibility can't be ruled out."

Wei Fengzhao nodded heavily.

But just as everyone was wondering,

Wen Xiuya, sitting next to Yin Yan, spoke up.

"Could it be that Song Yiqing is... faking it?"

This sentence immediately drew the attention of everyone in the car.

They first showed doubt, then began to speculate.

"Now that you mention it, in terms of schemes and despicableness, very few people can truly compare to him."

Liu Tao nodded slightly in evaluation.

And Yin Yan also nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Song Yiqing has faked his death time and again to deceive the whole world."

"Every time, the result is unexpected."

"This time will probably be no exception."

As the two were speaking, Wei Fengzhao shook his head in confusion.

"But the strange thing is, how did Song Yiqing manage to make it look so real in this situation?"

"If he really deliberately held back his strength, Gong Zhigao would definitely be able to see through it."

"And not just Gong Zhigao, everyone at the scene would see it."

"A real reaction and a fake reaction are worlds apart."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in succession, agreeing with this statement.

However, Wen Xiuya said,

"Song Yiqing's bizarre methods are no fewer than those of the Penglai People. He might just possess an ability that can plunge everyone into an illusion."

"There's really no way to rule out that possibility!"

Liu Tao nodded heavily.

"Song Yiqing's origins are mysterious; no one knows what his background really is."

"And if he possessed a method similar to creating illusions, it would be very possible!"

Everyone present nodded one after another.

At this moment, on the livestream screen, Gong Zhigao lunged forward again and began charging toward the Queen Zongzi.

"Today, I want you dead!"
