81: Chapter 81 He deserves my sword!
"Interesting, truly interesting," the blind man exclaimed repeatedly in astonishment.
"I really didn't expect that he has actually learned the sword formation to the point of mastery. Moreover, this sword formation has a truly mysterious feeling to it; it's quite special."
"A sword formation?" Wang Xianzhi had naturally heard of them, but she had never seen one before.
On the livestream screen, Song Yiqing was skillfully controlling three Flying Swords, attacking the Wandering Zombie frantically.
However, due to the extremely unique positioning and angles of these Flying Swords, they were actually suppressing the Wandering Zombie.
Meanwhile, under Song Yiqing's direction, the guns in the hands of Lin Tianyi and the others were pouring out bullets frantically, further increasing the suppression!
From the Wandering Zombie that had seemed almost impossible to defeat, it had now completely become a lamb ready for the slaughter.
"This sword formation is amazing!" Wang Xianzhi exclaimed, her eyes flashing with astonishment.
"He is worthy of my sword!!"
"..." The blind man first looked back at his arrogant disciple, then sighed.
"You, will find it hard to win."
"Then two swords!" Wang Xianzhi said very firmly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
The blind man didn't respond further. Instead, after looking at the environment where Song Yiqing and his group were, he said in a deep voice,
"I really didn't expect that this path would lead directly to the priest's burial tomb. Song Yiqing is likely going to have quite a bit of trouble."
"Oh?" Wang Xianzhi looked at him in confusion. "Blind man, how do you know so much about this place?"
"Heh," the blind man chuckled without answering. However, the weathered look on his face and the injuries on his body seemed to speak volumes.
"Let's go! If we can make it in time, we'll save him."
On the livestream screen, the power of the Unparalleled Sword Formation was continuously taking effect.
The might of the three Flying Swords was greatly enhanced.
It was at this critical moment that Song Yiqing decisively rushed forward, and the Palm Thunder in his hand erupted suddenly. Boom!!!
Lightning raged, and the smell of burning filled the scene.
[Challenge Mission: Kill the Wandering Zombie, completed. Received SSS-rank reward: Hellfire!]
As the system notification finished, Song Yiqing almost shouted out the words 'Nongpi', but upon second thought, he realized that this Hellfire was purely fire—and an extremely intense, raging fire at that! It could burn everything in the world!
However, there were drawbacks. It consumed a massive amount of Qi. According to the system's calculations, one use would likely drain him completely; he could barely manage two.
"Hoo..." Song Yiqing secretly processed this ability, planning to keep it hidden as a trump card. If he encountered something he truly couldn't beat, he would bring it out and give it a good burning.
Lacking Qi wasn't a problem; with so many tails at the scene, he could just absorb some and it would be enough.
Only then did he collect his thoughts and begin to observe the place. This was a burial tomb of some scale.
Aside from the coffin in the center, the overall structure looked much like a palace.
The surrounding walls were covered in many murals and some extremely obscure characters, but to him, they were very simple and easy to understand!
At this moment, Fatty hurried over and exclaimed in admiration, "Lord Song, what a great technique! I never thought that in my lifetime, I'd see someone controlling three Flying Swords! Tsk tsk tsk! Truly incredible. The Wandering Zombie has been taken down by Lord Song!"
"Heh," Song Yiqing chuckled and said, "It's fortunate I came a bit early. Otherwise, once that Wandering Zombie stabilized its state, it would only be harder to kill. Even suppressing it would have been extremely difficult."
"That's why our Lord Song is truly a timely rain!" Fatty nodded in agreement repeatedly.
Beside them, Lin Tianyi rolled his eyes at Fatty helplessly. Previously, he kept saying 'this brat has ill intentions,' but now he was calling him Lord Song with genuine sincerity.
Following that, Lin Tianyi walked over and said, "Lord Song, this place is already in the deeper section. According to our previous map, after passing through the burial tomb, we should reach the deepest part in a little while."
"Are you sure it's the deepest part?" Song Yiqing asked in return at this moment. "Are you sure your intelligence is accurate?"
"Hmm?" Lin Tianyi slowly frowned and then began to explain, "There are some things I cannot disclose too much about, but Lord Song, you can trust me. This intelligence is the result of the efforts of several generations of our clan."
"Then why is there no record of the mechanism maze at the entrance?" Song Yiqing asked again. This time, Lin Tianyi fell directly into silence.
Seeing this, Fatty hurriedly mediated and explained repeatedly, "Lord Song, please don't mind it. This really is intelligence passed down by our clan, it's just that it might be incomplete."
"So, what I mean is..." Song Yiqing paused here, then looked at everyone and said, "Our current location is merely the entrance area of the Jingjue Tomb."
"The entrance area?" Lin Tianyi exclaimed in surprise. "Lord Song, what do you mean..."
"It's already written right there," Song Yiqing said, pointing to the series of obscure and difficult-to-understand characters above.
"According to the records, when the Jingjue Kingdom was completely defeated back then, the Queen of Jingjue apparently followed the orders of some entity and organized a large number of people to dig deep. Among them, there was quite a bit of key information regarding Feng Shui and Qimen Dunjia. After making deductions from this, I can basically conclude that what we are experiencing right now is just the most superficial part of the entire Jingjue Tomb."
"And right after the Jingjue Kingdom was completely defeated, they must have transferred people underground. However, it is also written here that although they went underground, a sudden plague caused their casualties to increase rapidly. But as for what that plague was, and who that mysterious entity was, there is no introduction above."
After he provided a simple translation, everyone present was stunned, because these characters looked exactly like ghost talismans, yet Song Yiqing had summarized them as casually as if he were reading vernacular text.
Moreover, the information revealed within it vaguely matched some of the information that had been passed down in Lin Tianyi's clan!
"An underground kingdom! This matter was also passed down in our clan before, but in their subsequent attempts to go deeper, they never found any more similar clues. So... they just didn't find the right path?"
"That should be the case," Song Yiqing nodded slightly. At the same time, he observed the placement of some facilities at the scene, vaguely feeling that this entire burial tomb looked so much like a layout of Mechanism Art. An illusion? Or...
