71: Chapter 71 The Way of the Sword: With me, all is well!

The two long swords trailed red and green light, crashing straight into the tentacles that the Gatekeeper Beast Mother had once again shot out.

At the moment of impact, even the long swords seemed to stall slightly.

But at that moment, Zhang Qilin, moving like a ghost, had already activated his Qilin Blood.

The black tattoos, resembling hideous incantations, instantly crawled across his body, covering his neck before climbing up his cheeks.

His black eyes were completely replaced by blood-red.

With the appearance of the tattoos, his speed climbed steadily at a rate visible to the naked eye.

And the moment the tentacles repelled the twin swords, he swung his blade in a vertical slash.

Bang—

The collision of two majestic forces produced a shockwave that made everyone's clothes flap loudly.

But even clearer to hear was the intense sound of everyone's heartbeats!

Song Yiqing's strength was well-known, and his Sword Control Technique was exceptionally agile.

Zhang Qilin's ferocity was even more visible to the naked eye.

Yet even they were unable to directly suppress it upon contact.

Instead, they began to show signs of decline.

An invisible pressure instantly loomed over everyone's hearts, causing their fighting spirit to constantly fade.

But in the next second,

A roar exploded in their ears like a clap of thunder.

"What the hell are you all thinking!! If you don't want to die, then fight!"

Song Yiqing shouted, then followed up with a Palm Thunder.

Bang—

Deep blue lightning drifted through the air, and a patch of scorched black appeared on the Gatekeeper Beast Mother where the Palm Thunder had struck.

Although it failed to cause much direct damage, it was a small improvement.

Lin Tianyi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence,

"Give it our all!! Give it our all!!"

As he spoke, he quickly pulled the bolt of his gun and then poured gunfire frantically at the Gatekeeper Beast Mother.

At the same time, he kept Song Yiqing's words in mind, attacking the eyes within that huge mouth as much as possible.

Only there was the vital point.

However, the Gatekeeper Beast Mother's massive head remained high, showing no intention of attacking.

Instead, it launched wave after wave of fierce attacks with its writhing tentacles.

Even so, Lin Tianyi continued his frantic attacks, braving the danger.

Meanwhile, Fatty or Wang Shan were also desperately firing their guns or closing in to deal damage with Ancient Martial Arts blade techniques.

Wu Ren and the others, who were not known for their Ancient Martial Arts, naturally stayed on the periphery, constantly using single shots to interfere.

The main force remained Zhang Qilin and Song Yiqing.

The former held his blade as if he had entered a 'Musou' state, slashing frantically.

While Song Yiqing controlled the twin swords, taking a gulp of wine every second.

Just the previous clash had made Song Yiqing realize that this was definitely not SS-rank, but must have reached a SSS-rank reward difficulty!

To slay the opponent, relying on these twenty-odd layers of Wine Qi was far from enough.

He needed more, he needed more!!

Through his consciousness, he continuously took out wine from the system space and poured it into the mineral water bottles in his backpack.

The Wine Qi was still rising, but the current situation was becoming increasingly critical.

Time was what he needed most right now.

"Brother Zhang!! Lin Tianyi!! Wu Ren!! Listen to my command,

I want to set up an array!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately recalled the situation when they first faced a Gate-Keeping Beast.

They didn't hesitate for a moment.

Fighting alone clearly wouldn't work, and having only firepower coverage was also not enough.

Only by following Song Yiqing's command and using clever tactics could they achieve results.

When they rushed into this Gatekeeper Beast Mother's nest, the refresh rate of the Bullet Chat had already far exceeded the past, and now it was refreshing frantically every second.

[My god!! Song Yiqing and Brother Zhang actually failed together??]

[The most critical thing is that Brother Zhang is already using his special bloodline!]

[Damn it, Brother Zhang has started using his ultimate move, and he still can't suppress it!! What the hell, this Mother Body is actually powerful to this extent??]

[Truly terrifying to the extreme, there's no way to fight in this situation!]

[In my opinion, even with an array, even with Song Yiqing commanding,

this fundamental gap in strength is very hard to bridge!]

[Could it be that we really won't be able to solve the secret behind the formation of the Forbidden Zone in our entire lives?]

[How much time do we have left!]

The netizens excitedly sent out one Bullet Chat after another.

Above the Six-Pillar Temple, more than a dozen exploration teams had already gathered.

Some knew each other, while others were rivals.

But when the massive and extremely powerful Gatekeeper Beast Mother appeared on the live stream,

everyone's movements to descend into the Six-Pillar Temple stopped simultaneously.

Their eyes were filled with fear of the unknown.

At this moment, when someone saw the Blind Man and Wang Xianzhi arrive, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise,

"The Blind Sword Saint?? He actually came to participate in the Forbidden Zone exploration too??"

"Who's this? Why does he have the title of Sword Saint? Isn't that a bit too chuunibyou?"

"Shh—shut up, you think he gave himself that title? It was bestowed upon him by people in the martial arts world! It's because his swordsmanship is incredibly strong."

"To be honest, Song Yiqing's Sword Control Technique is very impressive and flashy, right?"

"But in front of this person, it's simply not enough!"

"Hiss—that strong?? Then if he goes down, wouldn't there be a chance to kill that Mother Body?"

"With him, it's definitely possible. Not to mention, by his side is the swordsmanship genius Wang Xianzhi. It's said her strength is not a bit weaker than the Blind Sword Saint's!"

"It's getting noisy!! What kind of day is this, every kind of god is showing up??"

"Could it be that the method of immortality is really hidden down there?"

The people on the scene discussed incessantly, but the Blind Man didn't take any of these words to heart.

Looking at the battle situation on the live stream in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh deeply,

"His learning is still a bit too scattered. If he focused on the Way of the Sword, perhaps his future achievements would only be greater."

"Hmph,"

Wang Xianzhi snorted coldly,

"In the Way of the Sword, I alone am enough!"

She spoke clearly, and then, under the gaze of everyone, she followed the Blind Man and stepped into the Six-Pillar Temple.

Seeing this scene, many people on the scene were still too timid to step forward.

But there were still some bold ones who shouted,

"Damn it, we're already here, we can't go back empty-handed!"

"By following the Sword Saint, we might even survive! And snag some rewards!"

"Well said, charge!!"

Many people echoed, but it was just echoing. In the end, the number of exploration teams that went down was no more than five.

Because it was too dangerous and too eerie down there!

...

Meanwhile, on the live stream,

As Song Yiqing's commands fell one by one, the battle of the group gradually shifted from chaos to order,

and then began to form firepower suppression!

Fatty became more and more excited as he fought,

"Take a grenade from Lord Pang!!"
