Chapter 1393 Can You Save Him?
The blade slashed into Tang Yusheng’s back, as if hitting some kind of steel, emitting a slight vibration.
Lin Qiye, who appeared from nothingness, frowned, his form transforming into a shade of night, quickly retreating hundreds of meters to avoid the sweep of the ji halberd.
A dark red cut mark had already appeared on Tang Yusheng’s back!
The sharpness of [Zhan Bai] might not compare to the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, but it wasn’t far behind. This slash could easily cut off half a mountain peak, yet when it struck Tang Yusheng, it only left such a shallow wound, demonstrating just how abnormally strong his physical body was.
Lin Qiye could have used the Ama-no-Murakumo sword instead of [Zhan Bai], but this was just training after all, and using that sword against the former Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watchers would have been excessive.
“Hmm?”
Tang Yusheng seemed surprised that he was injured, his expression slightly puzzled.
He forcefully pulled his fist out of An Qingyu’s body, countering with a whip kick that sent him crashing from the sky. A roaring water dragon surged from the seabed, swallowing An Qingyu in one gulp before disappearing into the churning sea.
He slowly turned his head to look at Lin Qiye in the distance, whose chest was deeply sunken and face pale.
So far, Tang Yusheng hadn’t held back at all. Each of his punches and kicks carried full force. Although his initial punch wouldn’t have killed Lin Qiye outright, it could have seriously injured him. Yet he never expected that after taking such a blow, Lin Qiye could still move freely.
Lin Qiye’s physical body, having eaten the peach of immortality and undergone the baptism of fortune, was far more resilient than he had imagined.
Tang Yusheng gripped his ji halberd, drawing an arc in front of him. A terrifying pressure descended upon the sea surface.
Lin Qiye felt the seawater beneath his feet begin to violently shake and roll. Then the sky and sea seemed to rotate and displace. Surging, heavy water crashed down from the sky, enveloping him and uncontrollably lifting him skyward!
The water flow seemed to come alive, frantically compressing Lin Qiye at its center. Traces of blood crept into his eyes. In just a second, the water pressure on his skin’s surface was enough to crush a large submarine!
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth, pushing [Zhan Bai] from its sheath with his fingertips. His form entered the void, attempting to escape this high-pressure water flow.
But no matter which direction he moved, Tang Yusheng seemed to see him, covering the surroundings with more water. Soon, Lin Qiye’s time moving in the void ended, and his form was forced back to reality, with a high-pressure water flow precisely enveloping his body.
In the flowing water, Tang Yusheng’s silhouette was reflected. His white robe above this sea domain made him appear like the king of this place.
Lin Qiye was trapped in endless seawater, unable to escape in any direction. Just as he was about to deploy [Final King’s Law], that white-robed figure directly teleported to the water flow in front of him.
Tang Yusheng calmly looked at Lin Qiye, slowly raising his fist…
Countless fists rained down on Lin Qiye like raindrops. A shattering sensation spread throughout Lin Qiye’s body. Amidst the excruciating pain, a sense of mortal danger he hadn’t felt for a long time surged in his heart!
Bang—!
With a kick from Tang Yusheng, Lin Qiye was violently thrown from the aerial ocean back into the actual sea.
His form slowly sank into the deep sea. The feeling of suffocation and the intense pain throughout his body gradually eroded Lin Qiye’s consciousness. Vaguely, he heard Cao Yuan’s chuckling, Bai Li Pangpang’s disarmament of all things, and An Qingyu’s voice sounding in succession, but they quickly faded from his ears…
Finally, his consciousness fell into chaos, and he completely passed out.
…
An unknown amount of time passed.
Tang Yusheng, holding his ji halberd in one hand and the black coffin in the other, walked on snow-white waves back to the eastern side of the island.
As his feet touched the island’s ground, a huge wave carrying four unconscious figures washed them all onto the beach.
Li Qengqiang, sitting on the shore, glanced at the four severely injured, near-death figures and couldn’t help but click his tongue:
“You really were brutal…”
Tang Yusheng raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t you tell me to use full force and let them feel the threat of death?”
“…”
“You can save them… right?” Tang Yusheng asked, somewhat guilty.
“…” Li Qengqiang’s gaze swept over the four figures on the ground, and he waved his hand helplessly. “Fine, fine… leave them to me.”
Li Qengqiang shouldered the black coffin, dragging two people in each hand as he slowly walked toward the interior of the island…
…
Waters of Great Xia.
A hundred miles away from the National Fortune Dragon’s Eye.
Above the endless sea surface, a figure stood in mid-air, holding a map of Great Xia, his eyes slightly narrowed.
This was an old man nearly seventy years old. Although his back was hunched, his deep eyes flickered with light, like a pair of dim stars in the night, narrowed into slits, thoughts unknown.
If Lin Qiye were here, he would discover that this old man’s face was very similar to Yue Huai, whom he had met not long ago in the [Virtual Reconstruction] world… He was the creator of the Ancient God Church forty years after the Huaihai Disaster, one of the last remaining oldest “Evil Gods,” Yue Huai.
The map in Yue Huai’s hand marked almost all the dragon veins of Great Xia, connecting them with red strokes, like giant dragons sprawling across the vast land… At the end of many red lines, a circle was heavily drawn in an empty sea area, as if something extremely important existed there.
“The Dragon’s Eye… is around here,” Yue Huai murmured.
“Shall we act directly?” a voice came from beneath his feet. In the churning seawater, a giant shadowy outline flickered in and out of view.
“No,” Yue Huai decisively replied. “Years ago, when the Egyptian gods attempted to curse Great Xia’s dragon veins, they instead had thirty percent of their national fortune cut off by Great Xia. This indicates that Great Xia’s dragon veins are guarded by someone… Our task is to find out exactly who is guarding this place. We must not alert them prematurely.”
“When the Egyptian gods cursed Great Xia’s dragon veins, the Heavenly Court had not yet been rebuilt, so the guardian here is probably not a Great Xia deity… If that’s the case, what do we have to fear?” Another massive shadow emerged from the seawater. “Yue Huai, as the representative of that great one, you are too timid.”
“Indeed, we have been lurking within Great Xia’s borders for so many years precisely to catch them off guard. Now such a good opportunity presents itself, it would be too unfortunate to miss it,” a third giant shadow rose up next.
Yue Huai’s brow furrowed slightly. He snorted coldly, putting the map back into his robe:
“I don’t care how long you’ve been lurking in Great Xia or how strong you are… Since that person put me in charge of this operation, you must follow my arrangements. Great Xia’s national fortune is no small matter. Without absolute certainty of success, we cannot make a move. Understand?”
