Ji Qian picked up a sharp blade from the ground, suddenly rushed forward, and forcefully slashed at the neck of a ghost soldier, beheading him along with his helt. The blade twisted, and Ji Qian reversed her grip, stabbing straight into the ghost soldier’s heart.
Bang.
The ghost soldier fell heavily to the ground, motionless. It seed he was truly "dead." It appeared the ghost soldiers had two lives; their brains and hearts had to be destroyed simultaneously to truly kill them. Of course, if one was confident enough to blow them to pieces, thoroughly destroying the body was also a simple and brutal option. However, such a powerful attack also consud a lot of Inner Strength, especially since the ghost soldiers carried a death aura that significantly countered the power of Inner Strength.
"Second Young Master Tang, you must destroy their brains and hearts for them to truly die," Ji Qian shouted loudly. She wasn’t particularly concerned about whether Tang Nie was in danger, but helping Tang Nie also ant helping herself, a principle Ji Qian clearly understood.
"Thank you," Tang Nie suddenly shouted, extending a palm to strike the top of a ghost soldier’s head, then another palm to his chest. The ghost soldier instantly collapsed to the ground, motionless.
"So it’s like this. Everyone, aim for the ghost soldiers’ chests and heads." Tang Nie nodded. In truth, what made him happiest was not discovering the ghost soldiers’ weaknesses, but that Ji Qian inford him first. After all, as a young master from an influential family, he was used to won taking the initiative with him. Tang Nie instinctively thought winning a woman’s heart was as simple as this. However, this ti he was definitely overthinking...
Five minutes later, there were dozens of ghost soldiers’ bodies on the ground. Once their weaknesses were known, the ghost soldiers could no longer pose a threat and were hunted one by one.
"This ti, many thanks to Miss Ji for the reminder; otherwise, these ghost soldiers would truly be troubleso," Tang Nie saluted in gratitude.
"Second Young Master Tang, you’re too kind. Since we’re on the sa boat now, we should naturally work together sincerely," Ji Qian said expressionlessly, lightly. If it were an ordinary woman, seeing Tang Nie like this she might have already fawned over him, but Ji Qian was a proud woman, and most importantly, her heart was not with Tang Nie at all.
"Miss Ji, eting you in the ruins is truly a fateful encounter for , Tang Nie, over three lifetis."
"I’m a bit tired. Second Young Master Tang can go ahead," Ji Qian seed sowhat displeased with Tang Nie’s "corny flirtation." She was practically shining with exasperation and found any excuse to send Tang Nie away.
"Ahem, just as well, I’m also a bit tired. How about we rest here for a while?" Tang Nie called his n to sit on the ground, and Ji Qian gave face to Tang Nie, not leaving imdiately, instructing the Moon Guards to rest in place.
"Miss Ji is so ticulous, discovering the ghost soldiers’ weaknesses in one go, truly admirable," Wang Qian suddenly said, observing from the side. Tang Nie was also sowhat displeased; Wang Qian’s actions seed to be a case of "passing the buck."
"Miss Wang, if a ghost soldier and you were in a room, you might discover it too," Tang Nie retorted bluntly. His implication was that the ghost soldiers’ weaknesses could be observed with battle experience, but the Wang Family had been "watching the excitent" from the side, seemingly using the Tang Family. If not for wanting to impress Ji Qian, Tang Nie wouldn’t have bothered helping Wang Qian.
"Second Young Master Tang’s skills are even more extraordinary. It’s truly delightful to travel with you both," Wang Qian replied without anger, having her own calculations that others were unaware of.
Sowhere in the ruins.
Ye Shikai suddenly felt a bit worried about Li Yueying. He hadn’t thought much earlier, but if Tang Can asked why she wasn’t with him, how could Li Yueying answer? Ye Shikai shook his head; never mind, these weren’t issues he should be considering now. Besides, with Li Yueying’s wit, coming up with an excuse wouldn’t be difficult.
Removing the Netherworld King’s Helt, Ye Shikai retraced his steps, but soon discovered a perplexing problem—the route didn’t look like the original one at all; it seed entirely unfamiliar. Ye Shikai had a good mory and didn’t think he rembered incorrectly.
"Soul of the Blade, what’s going on? Why does this path seem wrong?" Ye Shikai paused. Along the way, they had rested several tis, and the guards had snacked on compressed biscuits, so there should have been so garbage left behind. But looking around, there was none, making Ye Shikai a bit uneasy. Could he have taken the wrong path?
"Nonsense, because you’re not on the original path at all," Soul of the Blade’s voice was slightly disdainful.
"What? That’s impossible, I rember clearly."
"In terms of direction, you’re not mistaken; it’s the path itself that’s changed," Soul of the Blade voiced a shocking truth—could the path change on its own? This was truly bizarre.
"I’ve noticed for a while now that the route arrangents in these ruins contain a mystery. Since you crossed the gorge, the path has completely changed, but being in the midst of it, you didn’t notice," Soul of the Blade continued.
"What? So, no matter how I walk now, I can’t go back?"
"Yes."
"Damn," Ye Shikai cursed. What was the point of leaving alone if he couldn’t find Chen Yuxin and Ji Qian? Walking alone was less worthwhile than staying with Li Yueying.
"There’s no need to be so discouraged. While you may not find Chen Yuxin, you might end up on the sa path as Ji Qian."
"Heh, you’re really good at comforting people." If Soul of the Blade could manifest physically in front of him, Ye Shikai would definitely give a double eye roll. Such talk—it could, what’s the likelihood?
Since he was already on the move, he might as well keep going. Ye Shikai resolutely decided to play big, having co this far. He chose a spacious area and took an off-road vehicle out of the Storage Ring, a military-spec off-road vehicle with hard armor, even equipped with a gun turret.
"Ha ha, comfortable." Ye Shikai imdiately hopped in the off-road vehicle; to drive recklessly within the ruins, he was undoubtedly the first.
Driving was indeed more convenient than walking, and surprisingly there was no harassnt from ghost soldiers along the way.
Suddenly, a few people jumped in front of the vehicle. Ye Shikai slamd the brakes. Was this for real? Were there also people stopping cars in the ruins?
"Who’s up there? Get down here!" the leader shouted. Ye Shikai got out of the vehicle and was surprised to see a few foreigners. Judging by their weapons and equipnt, they should be from the Underworld of foreign nations. How did they end up here?
"Who are you?" Ye Shikai shouted back, unwilling to show weakness.
"Who are you, kid?"
"I’m Hades."
