Then, Ye Wushuang turned and walked away. Li Wenbo hurriedly followed. Throughout the entire ordeal, from the moment Ye Wushuang delivered that single, devastating sword strike, not a word was uttered by Li Xinhen, Li Xinyue, Prince Tianxu, or Tai Shengzi. It was only after the two figures vanished among the stone forest that the four of them finally let out a sigh of relief. That one sword strike had exerted an immense pressure on them.
“Where does this young man come from?” Prince Tianxu couldn’t help but ask.
Tai Shengzi, standing nearby, replied indifferently, “I saw Li Wenbo with him earlier. He might be from Lingjian Mountain…”
“With the surname Ye… When did Lingjian Mountain produce such a young swordsmanship prodigy?” Li Xinhen and Li Xinyue remained silent at this moment, leading their people away. With the Heavenly Fragrance Dew taken by Ye Wushuang, the three factions no longer had a reason to fight.
“Brother…” After walking a considerable distance, Li Xinyue looked at her elder brother and comforted him, “Even Tai Shengzi and Prince Tianxu are no match for our Starry Father. You shouldn’t be discouraged!”
Li Xinhen stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and said slowly, “I’m not discouraged. It’s just that… when the ancient tomb of Li Yun appeared this time, the clan elders instructed me that if the tomb truly emerged, the Li King Ding must be retrieved…”
“But now, I can’t defeat Prince Tianxu, and Tai Shengzi and the others were nearly killed by that young man with the surname Ye. The Li King Ding…”
Li Xinyue quickly said, “The Li King Ding belongs to our Li clan. They can’t take it away!” Li Xinhen shook his head and continued walking…
On the other side, Li Wenbo followed Ye Wushuang as they left.
“Brother Ye is amazing!” Li Wenbo chuckled, “One sword strike almost killed that Li Xinhen. Thinking back to the expressions on their four faces, I just want to laugh.”
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Then show me how you laugh.”
“Uh…” Li Wenbo chuckled again, “Brother Ye, the Heavenly Fragrance Dew is a divine medicine for healing and for enhancing one’s abilities. It can enlighten the mind. Can you spare me a little?”
“Do you have the nerve to ask me for it?” Ye Wushuang scoffed, “You were the one who said you didn’t want it just now.”
“I was just joking!” Li Wenbo quickly said, “I just wanted to give Brother Ye a chance to show off!”
“Then I should thank you?” Ye Wushuang retorted.
“No need for that. Just give me some Heavenly Fragrance Dew,” Li Wenbo said.
“Get lost!”
“Don’t be like that…”
The two continued on their way. After passing through the stone forest, they came across a grove of trees. The ground of the grove was covered with gravel, and the trees looked as if they were on the verge of withering. Even the ground was littered with the skeletons of spiritual beasts, which became more numerous the deeper they went. Until finally, they saw many human skeletons ahead!
“Wait a moment,” Ye Wushuang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“What’s wrong?” Li Wenbo asked. Seeing Ye Wushuang staring intently at a human skeleton on the ground, Li Wenbo suddenly realized and said, “So Brother Ye likes this kind of thing.”
“Get out of here!” Ye Wushuang immediately said, “This skeleton is fresh!”
Fresh?
Li Wenbo examined it for a while.
“You’re right!” he said, scratching his bald head in astonishment, “It must have died not long ago. The flesh is gone, leaving only the bones…” The more he thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.
“Be careful!” Ye Wushuang warned.
“Okay,” Li Wenbo replied.
The two continued deeper into the desolate forest, where the trees were nothing but decaying trunks, on the verge of rotting away. And once again, they found several fresh skeletons on the ground. They stepped over the skeletons and kept going.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the ground behind them. Then, from the earth, numerous tentacles burst forth, lunging straight at the two of them.
Whoosh, whoosh…
The two of them leaped to the left and right almost simultaneously.
“There’s definitely something fishy here,” Li Wenbo couldn’t help but turn back and look, his gaze strange as he said, “What kind of spiritual beast is this?”
“It’s not a spiritual beast!” Ye Wushuang gripped the Tianya Sword tightly, frowning as he looked at the tentacles, each as thick as a thigh, spreading out from the ground.
