148: Chapter 148 The Remnant Soul of the Supreme Kai - Xiang Liu

Mu Cheng, on the other hand, was unlucky. Although his reaction speed was fast enough... he still took a hard fall.

Fortunately, the method was effective... and the two of them continued to practice their coordination without stopping.

After a full hour, they finally achieved a small degree of synergy...

"That should be enough! Should we try to take the earth core?" Yue Chan asked slowly.

Mu Cheng was caught between laughter and tears. "Oh my god! Sister, don't you have any sense of the situation?"

"Well... if we keep going like this, the Ancient Battlefield will start soon." Yue Chan was only being stubborn with her words.

In reality, since they were already within the range of the Ancient City, it didn't matter when it started; they wouldn't be affected at all.

"There is a way, but I'm afraid... you won't be willing, Sister," Mu Cheng said hesitantly.

Yue Chan spoke impulsively, "Just say it. Let's get the earth core and get out of this hellhole as soon as possible."

If she knew that there was much more to come, her mental state would probably collapse.

"Hold hands and tie our feet together," Mu Cheng replied.

Back when Mu Cheng was a company manager and took his team on trips, this was an indispensable game.

Yue Chan hesitated for a moment before taking Mu Cheng's hand. "Hurry up!"

In truth, she was extremely nervous; this was the first time she had held a man's hand since losing her memory so long ago.

It would be strange if she wasn't nervous.

"Is this a man's hand? It feels quite warm." In an instant, Yue Chan's heart felt like countless deer were racing inside.

Mu Cheng was thick-skinned by nature and didn't feel much at all. After thinking seriously, he said,

"Wait, it looks like we'll need to practice this more too. Never mind, let's just try it first."

Then, qianji transformed into a black gold rope, tying Mu Cheng's right foot and Yue Chan's left foot together.

This did synchronize their movements significantly, but it was still far from enough...

Fortunately, practicing synergy this way was very fast. In less than an hour, their steps were unified.

"That's about it. This time we're doing it for real, we're taking the earth core directly." After Mu Cheng settled Dun Dun,

The two set off, step by step... finally getting closer and closer to the earth core.

Luckily, everything went smoothly, and Yue Chan eventually retrieved the earth core. The moment she took it,

The black desert vanished along with it, leaving only the Ghost Knight standing motionless on the spot.

Dun Dun lunged forward, and starting from its head, the Ghost Knight was eaten bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Alright, you can let... go now!" Yue Chan said quite shyly.

Mu Cheng, a titanium-grade straight man, was actually very obedient. After letting go of her hand, he directly retracted qianji.

He didn't forget to remind her, "Sister, don't forget, this earth core belongs to me in one month."

"Don't worry! It will be useless to me in a month anyway." After Yue Chan finished speaking, she immediately put the earth core away.

Looking at the passage ahead, she asked, "Could it be... is there another similar space ahead? If so, it feels like clearing levels in a video game."

"There probably will be! We'll see after Dun Dun finishes eating." Mu Cheng was actually very clear in his heart, but he could only say that.

Suddenly his stomach growled, and he immediately felt very awkward. "How about... we eat something too?"

Although they had Rice Ball, that stuff was colorless and tasteless; eating it felt like nothing at all.

Plus, since Dun Dun needed time to finish off the Ghost Knight, they immediately set up a stove and started roasting food.

About half an hour later.

Dun Dun finally finished off the Ghost Knight. It continued to lead the way as before, with no abnormalities occurring.

"This little guy can really eat! If it uses eating to increase its strength... there should be some change." Yue Chan said, sensing something was off.

Mu Cheng didn't care. "Whatever... anyway, this isn't its combat form right now."

It was like a husky; although it was in this state, once it entered its combat state,

It was a completely different story...

Besides, back then their strength had already reached the peak of the sixth rank... by now, they must have at least reached the peak of the eighth rank!

"Alright then. I'm afraid the space that appears ahead will have even stronger guardians, and of course, the things they guard will be even more precious." Yue Chan was basically certain of it now.

About ten minutes later, under Dun Dun's lead, they finally arrived at the next space.

It was a black forest. The leaves were black, and the trunks were so thick that ten people couldn't encircle them, reaching a height of about two hundred meters.

"There's something strange about this place... we should be careful!" Yue Chan held her green lotus sword, becoming extremely cautious.

"Don't worry! I'm always being careful."

Mu Cheng was, of course, prepared at all times. Holding his black gold spear, he led the way at the front.

Before long, they discovered the objective: a pile of Five-Colored Stones. They were only about the size of a fist and looked quite ordinary.

There were nine pieces in total.

"These are Five-Colored Divine Stones, rumored to be super divine artifact upgrade scrolls." Yue Chan recognized them at a glance.

However, at this moment... she didn't dare to approach easily.

"Let's draw out the guardian first," Mu Cheng said calmly as he continued forward.

At that moment, a massive figure appeared ahead. It had nine black heads resembling giant pythons, and its body was several times larger than an elephant.

Its height alone reached twenty meters, but right now... its body was flickering in and out of existence.

It looked like... it could disappear at any moment.

"This is the legendary Xiangliu... a genuine Realm King God realm being," Yue Chan said while operating her high-tech bracelet.

"This... it seems the high-tech bracelet has upgraded again. Oh well, I'll study it properly later." Mu Cheng didn't take it to heart.

Knowing it was just a remnant soul, he went straight for the attack... thrusting his black gold spear with all his might.

However, the result was a setback; one of Xiangliu's nine heads shot out a beam of black energy resembling a laser.

Fortunately, Mu Cheng's reaction speed was very fast, and he narrowly dodged it...

"Is this divine power? Isn't it a bit too perverted?" Stunned, he looked at the deep pit left behind, dazed for a good while before reacting.

Although the pit was less than four meters deep, the marks were terrifying; one could clearly see the space constantly cracking and recovering.

"This guy is hard to deal with, but there should be a way." Yue Chan also rushed up to help.

"This... Sister, have you noticed that this Xiangliu seems even more transparent? Could it be that it's just a remnant soul?" Mu Cheng actually knew better than anyone, but he still pretended not to know and asked.

Yue Chan saw that Xiangliu didn't attack again. She thought back seriously, considering some details, and said,

"It really is just a remnant soul, but even so, this guy is quite difficult to handle."

"Wait... even if it's hard to deal with, there's a way." Mu Cheng was still very confident about this.

Since such a challenge had appeared, there must be a way to get through it, just like the Ghost Knight in the previous stage.
