CHAPTER XLIX The Coming of Yin Sun
Unfortunately, Xiao Li wasn't affected by Lieutenant Shen Bu's words, so he didn't even need to spare any strength. There was no other option for Lieutenant Shen Bu. She could only use her hand to parry the arrows. She used her sword to deflect the two incoming steel arrows.
Xiao Li sneered in his heart as he raised the arrow in his left hand once again, aiming for Lieutenant Shen Bu's right rib. The longsword in Lieutenant Shen Bu's hand vibrated once more, wanting to block Xiao Li's third arrow. Unfortunately, Xiao Li didn't give him the chance, and the two arrows in his right hand that had been blocked simultaneously shot out.
Under Xiao Li's three arrows, Lieutenant Shen Bu appeared to be struggling on the left and on the right. This was because Xiao Li's three arrows were like three experts attacking him at the same time. How could he block them with a single sword?
Xiao Li was secretly surprised at the profundity of Shen Bu's swordsmanship. To think that he could not show any signs of weakness under the attack of his three arrows. Only then did he know that his elder's name was not just for show.
Right now, when he was blocking Xiao Li by himself, he realized how much pressure his opponent was giving him. He was simply pressured to the point where he couldn't even fight back. He could only block and dodge. At this moment, he completely had thoughts of retreating. As he fought on, he retreated towards the stone chamber's door.
Seeing that the battle situation had become tense, Xiao Li immediately charged forward again, wanting to use Ling Qingyun's profound sword technique. The sword in his hand flashed and the force on the sword suddenly became indistinct. When Xiao Li's sharp arrow came into contact with the other party's arrow, it was like hitting a soft thread. The force of his inner force slipped past the other party's arrow, causing the arrow to miss its target. The three arrows missed at the same time, slowing him down. Xiao Li knew that something was amiss.
As expected, Lieutenant Shen Bu simultaneously shot three arrows at Xiao Li and released a loud whistling sound. The long sword in her hand flew straight toward Xiao Li's face, bringing with it a green light that shot out explosively.
Xiao Li waved his right hand, trying his best to bring the two arrows back to the air. He rolled up a star and shot it at the treasured sword that was three inches away from his face. Xiao Li was forced back three steps by the recoil of Lieutenant Shen Bu's full strength sword attack. The true energy in his body was also almost dispersed by the recoil. Because he had tried his best to retract the two arrows on his right hand, which he had already used half of the time and then changed his moves midway and executed the 'Swimming Fish Sword Technique', the true energy on the arrows was also not even half of their original strength, they were basically unable to resist the heavy force hit on the sword. Luckily, his internal energy was special. This was also the reason why experts avoided changing their moves midway.
Although Xiao Li wasn't injured, the true energy within his body also stopped for a moment. After using his full strength, Lieutenant Shen Bu ignored the result and instead went for the mechanism on the wall. The door of the stone room was opened and Lieutenant Shen Bu escaped through it.
Xiao Li's inner Qi, which had been replenished by the Qi from his eight extraordinary meridians, immediately calmed down. Seeing that Lieutenant Shen Bu had turned around to flee, he immediately threw out the arrow that he had yet to withdraw his left hand. The sharp arrow whistled as it flew towards Lieutenant Shen Bu.
After hearing the whistling sound, he did not turn around to face it, but instead used his left hand to feel his waist. He drew out a soft sword, and with a flash of white light, he disappeared from the spot where Xiao Li had shot the arrow, appearing almost thirty meters away. However, he staggered a little, but his feet did not stop moving, and he continued to run with all his might.
Xiao Li had seen the flexible sword once before in the prefecture, but when he saw it here, his heart trembled slightly. This was because he completely understood that Lieutenant Shen Bu had relied on this sword to escape for a hundred zhang in an instant. He thought to himself: What kind of sword is this? He could actually teleport a person so far away?
Xiao Li thought for a moment and recovered his wits. He hurriedly jumped out to pick up the sharp arrow that was thrown out. He knew that if he allowed Lieutenant Shen Bu to escape now, she would definitely bring many experts from the Earth Kun Main Altar to surround and kill him. Therefore, he had to bring Ling Qing over as soon as possible so that he could think of a way to escape.
Thus, Xiao Li immediately returned to the stone room to operate the control panel. Right now, he didn't care about the details, he only wanted to open up all the exits to the first level, and then he waved his sharp arrow and broke the control panel into pieces. He then ran to the second level's control panel, and opened up all the tunnels to the second level's control panel.
As for Xiao Li, who was killing while opening up the mechanism tunnel, on the other side, Zhen Yan had finally tidied up Ling Qingyun's true energy, and immediately went to check on the little monkey's situation.
Ling Qingyun then turned around and asked, "How is he?"
After that, he used all his strength to resist the hidden weapons and suffered from many hidden weapons. The poison in the concealed weapons was very powerful and was about to penetrate his heart, and I just closed off all the meridians in his body, but I can only temporarily delay the poisonous gas from attacking his heart, so I must find the cure for this.
Ling Qingyun frowned slightly. At this moment, all three of them were trapped by the mechanism of the Di Kun headquarters, how could they find the antidote? At this moment, the surrounding stone walls suddenly made a "cha-cha-cha-cha" sound. Ling Qingyun was startled, and activated all of the true energy in her body to make a response.
Gui Yan also lifted up the little monkey with one hand, channeling all of his Zhen Qi through his body. His clothes fluttered even though there was no wind, and a bright red light flashed in his eyes.
However, what was out of their expectations was that Xiao Li was about to activate the mechanism to open the exit to this level.
Ling Qingyun waited for a while, but nothing strange happened. She immediately said, "We can't wait any longer, let's go find a way out."
Seeing that no mechanism had been set in motion, Gui Yan nodded his head, "Fine, this person is so loyal, we can't just sit by and watch him die."
As Ling Qingyun walked in the direction from where the original trio had come from, he glanced behind them at the corner of the street and sighed, "I'm afraid Xia Changqing and the rest might not be able to survive this!"
What do you want them to do? It would not be a pity if people like them were to die. " Ling Qingyun silently sighed once again, and quickly walked forward.
People are like this in this world. One shouldn't be too shameless. If one was selfish to the point that people resent him, one wouldn't feel sorry for him even if he died. In fact, he would feel happy and say, "This kind of person is always harming others in this world. He should die sooner or later!"
Not to mention these words, Ling Qingyun was the one leading the way. With one hand holding onto the little monkey, he had just walked two zhang when a hole suddenly appeared on the stone wall beside him.
Seeing the hole, Ling Qingyun waved his hand and sent a stream of sword Qi into it. He did not want to be ambushed again for no reason. However, unexpectedly, there was no one inside the cave. Ling Qingyun's sword Qi had been hit in the air, and with a shrill noise, it went through the cave and disappeared into the distance.
Ling Qingyun said, "Let's go in and take a look!"
"Sure, let's get a better understanding of the situation first before we make any plans."
The two of them passed through the passage, but did not discover any enemies. They arrived at the entrance of a large hall. Ling Qingyun hesitated. "Could it be another trap set by Yin Sun?"
Gui Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's very possible!"
Ling Qingyun thought for a while and said, "I'll go in and scout first. If anything happens, we'll leave immediately and return the way we came from."
"Be careful!"
Ling Qingyun stepped into the hall, and looked around. Seeing that both sides of the hall were open, he said with doubt: "There are two openings in the hall, I will take a look." He flew into the left passageway and quickly returned. He said to Gui Yan, "The left passageway leads to the top."
"What the hell is he up to?" My previous plan was obviously to imprison us, but now I have to let them go? "
Ling Qingyun was puzzled as well, but he was worried about the little monkey's injuries. "Let's take a look to the right first," he decided. "If they all lead to the top, then we'll go up first. We'll see what kind of tricks Yin Sun has to play."
After a while, Ling Qingyun replied, "They all lead to the higher levels, let's go up first."
Immediately, the two of them chose the right passageway and went to a large hall. In this hall, there were actually three tunnels. Ling Qingyun looked through them one by one, then returned and said, "One leads to the outside, and the other two lead to the top. What do you say?"
"It seems that someone has opened up a mechanism for us."
Ling Qingyun said, "I think so too."
"Then who does Brother Ling think would do such a thing?" To think that you can move so freely in the Di Kun Altar, and even have a grasp on the mechanisms here. "
Ling Qingyun thought about it and said, "We don't seem to have any friends here, I can only think of one possibility …"
"It's Brother Xiao Li!"
Ling Qingyun nodded, "That's right!"
"That's right, that's the only thing I can think of." However, he felt that this was somewhat inconceivable. If Xiao Li had done it, he would have been too shocked. It was unbelievable that a martial art like Xiao Li could actually survive at the Earth Origin Stage headquarters and gain control of his opponent's mechanisms.
Ling Qingyun said, "That's why I want to follow this passage up. I wonder what you think?"
"Since Brother Xiao Li can activate the mechanism on his own, why don't you escape? And how did he know we were coming? "
Ling Qingyun shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe he had some difficulties that made it impossible for him to escape, so I had to go meet up with him."
"Actually, I was afraid that he was trying to escape, so I turned on all the traps in the Earth Kun Main Altar. If we enter and miss out on the opportunity to meet up with him, that would be really troublesome."
Ling Qingyun said, "That's why I want to ask for Brother Ji's opinion. If Brother Jiu chooses to leave, then leave through the cave entrance that leads to the outside world. At the same time, if you meet with my Brother Xiao, then ask him to leave immediately."
Gui Yan laughed bitterly: "Brother Ling looks down on me so much? Previously, I might have felt at ease and left, but the favor of saving Brother Ling previously was something that I will never forget. If I were to leave now, even I would look down on myself. [Do you think I am better than a nameless junior in the martial world?] As he spoke, he glanced at the little monkey beside him. This meant that since a nameless brat like him was able to save the two of them, why should he care about this body?
Ling Qingyun knew what Gui Yan meant, but he still advised, "Actually, Brother Qi's cooperation outside is more meaningful."
Zhen Yan laughed: "How confident do you think I am to break out of this earth sinkhole? What's more, can I just watch as Brother Ling dares to die? "
Ling Qingyun took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then let's charge out together!" He stepped forward and headed towards the passage to the third floor.
While Ling Qingyun was on the third floor trying to save Xiao Li, although he escaped from Xiao Li's fatal arrow, he was still shot in the leg. Although his muscles and bones were not injured, he had lost a lot of blood. He felt a lingering fear. If he had been even slightly slower, his life would have been ended. He wanted to find experts from the Earth Kun Main Altar to gang up on Xiao Li, but before he could escape through the third layer's tunnel, all the exits to the third layer's tunnel opened.
He knew that Xiao Li had stolen the map of the Earth Kun headquarters. It seemed that the mechanism here was more familiar than his own. Just as he reached the exit, a large group of people came to greet him. When the man saw him, he shouted, "Lieutenant Shen Bu, what are you doing? Why are all the exits of the third floor suddenly open? "
Captain Shen Bu was relieved to see the newcomer. It was none other than Yin Sun. There were ten people behind him, and he knew quite a few of them. Dudian felt relieved as waves of pain came out from the wound on his foot. His face twitched as he said: "Something big has happened!"
Yin Sun's brow creased ever so slightly. When he saw the bloodstain on the man's leg, his heart sank. "What's the matter?"
"That Xiao Li escaped and ran to the central control room on this floor," Lieutenant Shen Bu said.
"What?" What did you say? Xiao Li ran to the organ control room? How is this possible? How did he get out? He actually didn't die? How is that possible? " It was clear from Yin Sun's questions how difficult it had been for him to use two of them. He was surprised by how many of them had been used.
"Because he stole the map of our main altar," he said bitterly.
