56: Chapter 56 An eye for an eye!

When Song Yiqing heard that familiar voice, he was also slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected the Luohang Expedition Team to actually be able to follow them here.

Thinking about it, they must have wasted a lot of time at the Mechanism Path, which gave the other party this opportunity.

However, wasn't shouting like that intentionally drawing the aggro of the Desert Ground Sloths?

Song Yiqing didn't want to pay them any mind.

But in the next second, a flashbang was thrown directly from a distance.

Due to the control of the angle and force, the flashbang exploded directly above the heads of Song Yiqing and his group.

BOOM!!!

A flashbang didn't possess much lethality,

but it caused quite a commotion,

subsequently attracting the attention of the thousands of Desert Ground Sloths on the scene.

"This woman has some issues!"

Song Yiqing cursed under his breath, killing intent already stirring in his heart.

At this moment, Wu Ren quickly explained,

"Lord Song, this Guo Xueyan is a notorious siscon. Her younger sister, Ding Ziwei, died in the mouth of the Flood Dragon Python.

In all likelihood, she's pinned this grudge directly on you."

"?"

Song Yiqing looked bewildered.

"Is she a psycho? What the hell does that have to do with me? She's really asking for death!"

He roared, while simultaneously drawing out the qingshuang sword again. Then, forming a sword seal with two fingers, he instantly manipulated it to shoot out violently!!

Swish!!!

The qingshuang sword was incredibly fast. As it flew across, it harvested the lives of several Desert Ground Sloths in an instant, and even used this to replenish a certain amount of Qi for Song Yiqing.

However, wanting to use the peerless sword casket to directly slaughter all the Desert Ground Sloths on the field was undoubtedly a fantasy.

The urgent priority was still to enter the Jingjue Tomb,

rather than lingering in battle!

Therefore, he had another plan for this strike.

However, in the eyes of the viewers in the livestream room, it was breathtakingly brilliant.

[Holy crap! That's so cool! I told you, swords are just cooler than sabers!]

[This really feels right! It's like a true Sword Immortal from a novel has appeared right before my eyes! Too cool!]

[Fine, fine, fine, everyone thought Song Yiqing was already too weak to fight, right?]

[Now let's show you all what a person with invincible combat power and intelligence looks like!!]

[To be honest, I've been uncomfortable with this Guo Xueyan for a long time. This woman is wicked! She's the typical type who thinks she can bully others,]

[but absolutely cannot be bullied by others!]

[But the key point is, Song Yiqing had no connection with her at all. It was purely because she wanted to attack Song Yiqing that they were attacked by the Flood Dragon Python!]

[Since she's incompetent herself, she can only blame her mistakes on others! Truly disgusting!]

Inside the Luohang Expedition Team's livestream room,

Guo Xueyan's face became increasingly unsightly. In her original judgment, Song Yiqing shouldn't have had any strength left.

But now, this display of the Flying Sword once again refreshed her understanding.

Killing several Desert Ground Sloths with such ease—such terrifying ability,

it even made Guo Xueyan somewhat jealous.

She had been practicing ancient martial arts hard for all these years just because she wanted to be the hero who unlocked the mysteries of the forbidden zones,

to be the woman standing on the monument!

But now, the ability and strategy Song Yiqing displayed were both superior to hers.

The unwillingness in her bones made her want to kill him even more to satisfy herself.

This was no longer as simple as the hatred over Ding Ziwei's death.

"Captain Guo!! Let's go!! Hurry!!"

"If these Desert Ground Sloths notice our presence, it'll be trouble,"

Liang Jingcheng urged nervously.

Hearing his words, Guo Xueyan already had the intention to retreat first.

But soon, when she saw the qingshuang sword go from sharply killing Desert Ground Sloths at the start to merely cutting a few gashes later on,

she instantly felt a surge of excitement.

"Hahaha! Why leave!! He's out of strength!! He can't control the sword anymore,"

Before her voice had even faded, the sword flew straight toward her.

"Hmph!!!"

Guo Xueyan gave a cold snort. Simultaneously, she braced her feet against the ground, swung the long saber in her right hand, and slashed forward violently.

Clang!!!

As saber and sword collided, she immediately felt the power within this strike.

The web of her thumb was faintly shaken to the point of numbness.

Just as she was about to be unable to hold on, the sword suddenly pulled away, vanishing into the air without a trace.

Beside her, Liang Jingcheng marveled,

"Captain Guo, has your ancient martial arts strength improved again??"

The surviving team members on the scene also spoke excitedly one after another,

"Whoa! So our Captain Guo is that awesome? What does Song Yiqing even count for!"

"Hehehe, this Song Yiqing is just a clown, what use is he!"

"He caused our Ziwei's death, so he must pay with his life,"

Amidst the crowd's exclamations,

Guo Xueyan realized something was a bit off.

In the next second, she suddenly felt a massive sense of being watched.

Looking up, the Desert Ground Sloths whose attention had previously been on Song Yiqing's group were now all looking at the five of them.

"Song Yiqing!! You're despicable!!!"

...

Guo Xueyan's delicate but angry roar came from behind.

While escaping, Song Yiqing merely glanced back and didn't care much.

To say he wanted to kill Guo Xueyan's group, that would be far too simple.

But trying to escape from these Desert Ground Sloths would prove to be a bit troublesome.

And the best way was to give them a taste of their own medicine!

You used a flashbang to attract the Desert Ground Sloths to attack me, so I can only make them go back to find you!

Beside him, Wu Ren clearly finally realized the true purpose of Song Yiqing's move.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of venting his frustration.

If it weren't for Song Yiqing, the three of them facing this situation alone would have definitely been lured to their deaths by Guo Xueyan.

Then, Song Yiqing signaled them to reach the location of the Six-Pillar Temple in the shortest time possible.

Otherwise, once the time passed, they might not be able to go down.

Hearing this, Wu Ren's heart was shaken once more.

'They won't be able to go down after the time passes? Wait!! Song Yiqing, just how much does he know!!'

'Could it be that his level of understanding of this place is already very deep??'

After suddenly realizing this point,

Wu Ren's spine felt a slight chill because he hadn't revealed the whole truth from beginning to end.

And he could also feel that the reason Song Yiqing kept the three of them alive

was purely because he had some schemes.

If Song Yiqing realized that the things he was hiding weren't particularly important, or rather, were things he already knew,

then the three of them... would probably be in danger!

Thinking carefully about this, Wu Ren also began to consider a way to survive.

But suddenly,

from behind the rocks on both sides, more and more Desert Ground Sloths began to scramble out.

On their skeletal faces, their mouths, filled with terrifying fangs, opened wide, letting out bursts of fierce roars.

"ROAR————"

...
