Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 14: It's better to walk away
Although everyone had already guessed the identity of the woman in white from her actions, when she said that she was the last person in Ye State, it still made people feel infinitely desolate and sad.
Although Ye State was a small border country, after experiencing hundreds of years of vicissitudes, it eventually ended up in a tragic situation of national destruction and death, which is truly a cause for regret.
Ping Lili was just about to step forward and have a conversation with the woman in white when she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind behind her. She subconsciously dodged, and dust and debris behind her flew all over the sky, and a gust of cold wind blew towards her!
A warning suddenly appeared in her mind, and she cried out in surprise: "Everyone be careful!" But in her heart she was a little shocked. The enemy could avoid everyone's eyes and ears and approach them so quietly. He must be no ordinary person!
However, the woman in white reacted faster than Gong Lili. She held a flute in her hand and the sound of the flute rang out again, but this time the sound was high and low, and the tone was extremely sharp and piercing, as if it contained faint fluctuations of spiritual power. In the blink of an eye, she had used sound waves to draw an invisible barrier, blocking the gusts of cold wind that were blowing all over the sky outside the invisible barrier!
At this time, Ping Lili also reacted. A dark golden barrier was formed and gradually spread out in front of her, drawing a golden halo, which actually circled the woman in white. The black iron short blade in her hand also emitted a faint golden light. Ping Lili seemed to feel that the "Dark Domain Golden Shadow" attached to the short blade seemed to be ready to move, as if ready to break through the air and slash away at any time!
However, Wei Xingying, contrary to his usual behavior, did not make any move at this time. He just looked at Zeze and then nodded to Zeze with a stern expression.
A gray shadow suddenly appeared in front of everyone, with disheveled long hair, with dry skin and thin bones. There was only one eye on his sallow face, but the eye was gleaming with a bright light, and it looked as weird as it could be.
"Hehe, Yanyun, you old fellow are quite useful. You actually attracted a few big fish with abundant spiritual power for me. Good, good! Good thing you came! Just in time for me to get some tonic. Hahahaha!"
After hearing this, Ying Lili shuddered. Could this be another old monster who wanted to eat people? She tapped her toes and was about to attack the man to show her power, but she heard Wei Xingying's divine voice in her ears: "This guy is very strong, we are no match for him, don't fight him, retreat!"
Before she could react, she felt her feet sink, and her whole body was sucked in by the strong suction from the ground. She immediately realized that this was the ground escape technique! Although she didn't understand why Wei Xingying asked everyone to retreat at this time, it seemed that she had no room to refute.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they were completely sucked into the depths of the earth by this earth escape technique. Not only Yinglili, but also the several people in the circle of light that Yinglili had just drawn with the barrier, including the woman in white and the old man from the Kongming tribe who was tortured half to death by Wei Xingying, were sucked into the ground almost at the same time, leaving only the man in gray standing there in a daze.
The gray-clothed man was so depressed when he saw that the cooked duck had flown away! He took a sip of the water fiercely and said, "Fuck the earth escape technique! It's still eight hundred years too early for you to escape from my palm!" Before he finished speaking, a cloud of black smoke suddenly came out of his mouth, and the black smoke instantly turned into countless eerie white claws. In an instant, the eerie white claws also sank into the ground!
Although with his current cultivation level, Ping Lili had already adapted to the underground escape technique and would not be as embarrassed as he was that day, he was still a mortal after all, and he still felt a little chest tightness and shortness of breath after being buried underground. He didn't know how long it had been before he finally got out of the ground.
Ping Lili patted the dust off her body, looked around, and couldn't help but widen her eyes. At this time, in front of everyone was a valley pass. She looked up and saw that the peaks on both sides of the valley were more than a hundred feet high and straight down. A narrow passage ran through it, with many vines and lush trees growing wildly on both sides. It seemed quite quiet, but there was a hint of weirdness in this quietness.
If someone wanted to set up an ambush in this valley, it would be difficult for them to escape even if they had wings. And Yinglili's intuition told her that this valley was definitely not simple!
Almost subconsciously, her golden-brown eyes looked at Wei Xingying, as if waiting for his explanation.
First of all, she was full of curiosity about the one-eyed man in gray. She didn't know who he was and why he could scare the usually daring Wei Xingying so much that he used his earth escape technique to escape before they even fought.
Besides, if they wanted to escape, they should at least find an open place. Why did they bring everyone to a valley that was obviously full of dangers?
But Wei Xingying didn't seem to have any intention of explaining to her. He turned around and said expressionlessly to the woman in white with a green mask behind him: "This man is yours now. You can kill him or chop him up as you like." After that, he mercilessly pushed the man he had been holding in front of the other person.
At this time, Gong Lili just noticed that the man was the immobilized old man of the Kongming tribe, the culprit who massacred tens of thousands of people in the city. At this moment, he suddenly understood Wei Xingying's good intentions. It turned out that he went to such great lengths to bring this burden just to give the woman in white a chance to take revenge with her own hands.
The woman in white was startled at first, then she took out the octagonal bronze mirror that she had used before and threw it into the air. As the octagonal bronze mirror emitted a ray of colorful light like a pouring galaxy, the sinful old man of the Kongming clan was sucked into the octagonal bronze mirror in an instant, joining the thousands of heads.
Ping Lili felt extremely happy. This ending was really satisfying. That person had committed many evil deeds and killed countless people. It was much more satisfying than killing him with a knife! The woman in white raised her hand again, and the bronze mirror was retracted into her slender fingers.
After putting the octagonal bronze mirror back into her arms, she leaned over and bowed deeply to the three people: "Qingluan is grateful for your kindness and righteousness. I thank you on behalf of the people who died unjustly in Licheng."
Seeing this, Ping Lili felt embarrassed to accept the bow, so she quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help the other person up: "Young lady, don't be so polite. Evil and crooked people are punishable by anyone, and the Kongming tribe is our enemy."
The woman in white lowered her head stubbornly: "No matter what, you avenged the people of my country, Qingluan has no way to repay you. If you can use me in any way, Qingluan will go through fire and water without hesitation."
When she said this, she turned her head to look at Wei Xingying. Perhaps she was quite touched by Wei Xingying's behavior just now.
But Wei Xingying didn't even look at her, as if he hadn't heard anything at all. He just closed his eyes slightly as if he was recalling something. Then, he frowned even more and looked at Zeze solemnly: "Is this the only way? Can you use the earth escape technique again?"
Zeze had been gasping for breath since just now. At this moment, he looked at Wei Xingying with resentment, thinking to himself, you are really talking without any pain. I have led you guys to escape such a long distance in one breath, and I am already exhausted. Yet you are still forcing me to do something against my will. This is really too much!
His originally rosy little face turned even redder at this moment. Although the Earth Escape Technique was not too strenuous for him, it was still a big burden for him at such a young age to use it with so many people at the same time, so he looked tired at this moment.
Unfortunately, Wei Xingying didn't have the slightest intention of caring for the child. He said indifferently: "I'll give you half a cup of tea. No matter what, you have to use the earth escape technique once more to get through this valley." When he said this, he completely ignored the resentful look that Zeze cast at him.
"Why do you still need to use the Earth Escape Technique? Haven't you already gotten rid of that person? Wouldn't it be faster if we walk on the ground?" Gong Lili couldn't stand it any longer and hurried out to smooth things over, but was mercilessly rebuked by Wei Xingying: "Do you think you got rid of him? Did you know that the man was Patriarch Wuchang? He is the ancestor of the Kongming Clan! Uncle Long Yu almost lost to him back then! You still want to walk on the ground? I think you are crazy and want to die! Use the Life Skill to see how many people are ambushing in this valley?"
Ping Lili's face turned red and she became a little angry and embarrassed after being retorted. She thought to herself, how do I know that person's origin? I've never heard of the Old Ancestor Wuchang. And you, Wei Xingying, deliberately brought us here even though you knew there was an ambush. Who is looking for death?
Just as she was about to bite the bullet and refute, she heard the woman in white next to her exclaim, "He's chasing us!"
Before she finished her words, Ping Lili suddenly felt her feet go empty and she subconsciously flew into the air. At this moment, she looked up at the ground where she had just stood and saw countless white claws emerging from it. The sharp claws tore through the soft soil and kept emerging from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!
Ping Lili subconsciously swung her five fingers, and countless golden light balls shot out from her fingertips, hitting the sharp white claws one by one, and exploded with a bang, as if to annihilate the white claws into nothingness. However, as soon as some of them were destroyed, more came out again, as if they were endless!
At this moment, Ping Lili missed Yao Ji's Netherworld Fire, and thought that if he could use the Netherworld Fire, he could burn all these disgusting things to ashes. Unfortunately, ever since Long Yu sealed Yao Ji's consciousness and he awakened Jianyi in his sea of consciousness, for some reason, he never had the chance to use the Netherworld Fire again.
Not only the Netherworld Fire, but even her barrier was a little different from that day. When Yao Ji's consciousness was not sealed, the barrier seemed to be dark red, but now it is dark gold every time. All these strange things made Ying Lili wonder if there was some story hidden between Kamai Yi and Yao Ji that she didn't know about. She even subconsciously felt that Kamai Yi might not want her to become another Yao Ji at all.
