"Hahaha, finally, finally, I got it back." Iron Gallbladder Scholar burst into laughter. Just as he was about to finish Sun Qi off, he suddenly felt a wave of ice-cold killing intent.
"I've been on guard against you." Iron Gallbladder Scholar suddenly turned his head and shot out three balls with his fingers, colliding with the biting cold sword qi on his back.
At this moment, the node appeared just three steps away from him. Iron Gallbladder Scholar sneered and disappeared into the building.
"Where do you think you're going?!" With sword in hand, Qing Hong chased after the node before it could close in on her.
After the two of them left, Sun Qi struggled to stand up and walked towards Zhuge Bai while holding onto the wall.
"Zhuge, Zhuge, wake up, wake up." Sun Qi shook Zhuge Bai a couple of times. Seeing that it was useless, she pinched Zhuge Bai again viciously.
Zhuge Bai woke up slowly, grabbed Sun Qi's hand and asked, "Where's the box? Is the box still there?"
Sun Qi shook her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was useless. They took it away."
"I'm not blaming you. It's just that your opponent is too strong. That woman is still okay. Iron Gallbladder Scholar has been famous for a long time and is an expert from the previous generation. It's normal for us to not be able to defeat her." Zhuge Bai patted the back of Sun Qi's hand comfortingly, using her strength to stand up.
"Let's go and find Wu Shuang and the others. The box is gone, we can just take it back."
"Yes." Sun Qi supported Zhuge Bai forward as the two girls walked out of the dead end. The maze began to shake again and a new node appeared behind them. Two men and one woman walked out.
"Sun Qi, Zhuge Bai!" A familiar voice called out from behind them. The two girls abruptly turned their heads and saw Wu Shuang and the other two coming.
"Wu Shuang, everyone..."
Zhuge Bai suddenly became tearful and felt wronged. If they had held on for a while longer, they would have definitely been able to keep the box after Wu Shuang and the others.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I lost the box." Zhuge Bai instantly cried.
"No, the box was lost in my hands. Zhuge Bai is not to be blamed, it was my fault." Sun Qi hugged Zhuge Bai and said, "Don't cry, I don't blame you. I didn't protect the box well."
"What's going on? All of you, speak slowly." Wu Shuang walked up to Sun Qi and said, "Sun Qi, you speak."
Sun Qi nodded. She patted Zhuge Bai as she recounted what just happened.
Hearing her words, Ceng Yin and Wu Shuang looked at each other. The former said, "The woman who uses the sword should also be one of the almighty's subordinates. If she snatches the box away, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Iron Gallbladder Scholar is not that easy to lose." Chi Lian sneered, "What a waste of time. Everything has returned to its original point."
"Wu Shuang, what should we do now?" Zhuge Bai calmed down and looked at Wu Shuang like a little cat.
"Now that we have all of us and we aren't weak, of course we have to fight for one each time we see one." Wu Shuang smiled. The others also laughed when they heard this.
It was true that the four experts of the Profoundness Finding Stage, plus Wu Shuang who hung up, as long as they didn't match up to that almighty being, even if Green Clothing House killed someone they knew, they would still turn around and flee the moment they see them.
While they were talking, the node appeared again. The five people pulled themselves together and walked in together.
Time passed. It was unknown how much time Wu Shuang and the others spent in the maze. In short, by the time they reached the end of the maze, everyone was a little tired.
Most of the people that saw them would be attracted by the key in Chi Lian's hand, but after comparing their combat power, they would unwillingly retreat. Regarding these people who did not have a key or a box, no one had any interest in chasing them.
After changing the terrain once again, Ceng Yin leaned against the wall and sighed, "I'm not going, I'm not going anymore. Let's rest for a bit. If this goes on, I'll never have the chance to see the end. I'm really lucky."
Wu Shuang glanced at Zhuge Bai, who was also exhausted, and nodded, "Alright, everyone pay attention to the position of the nodes. Let's not move for now."
Everyone agreed with his suggestion with both hands. Even Chi Lian took out a bottle of water and drank it while keeping an eye out for the surroundings.
At their current location, there were three forks in the road. One of them could hear the sound of the wind blowing. Even without getting close, they could feel the strong wind pressure.
"Heh heh, if someone tried to poison him, it would be a lot of trouble." Seeing Wu Shuang and Chi Lian looking at Wind Speaker with interest, Ceng Yin burst into laughter and made a joke.
"Pah pah pah! Quickly close your crow's beak! If you're serious, I'll strangle you to death before the poison can even show itself!" Zhuge Bai rolled his eyes, took out a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth. There were dark circles around his big eyes.
A long period of insomnia was not a small burden for everyone. Fortunately, everyone here was a thick-skinned Heavenly Sound Master, so not sleeping for a few days was normal.
Sun Qi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but let out a knowing smile when she saw this harmonious temporary team. This was also the first smile she revealed since leaving the illusion world.
"That's great. I'm the team I hope for. Everyone has their own temper, but when they need to, they can form a team. If this were my team, how great would it be!"
Sun Qi thought to herself. She had been a lone wolf for the past few years. Because she was strong, no one dared to provoke her. However, Dugu always accompanied Lone Wolf.
She fought alone and licked her wounds, but she no longer wanted to savor that taste any more.
"Attention all, the node is about to appear again."
Following Wu Shuang's reminder, a clear line appeared in the middle of the crowd, isolating Ceng Yin and Zhuge Bai. The two of them smiled at each other, then stood up and walked towards the crowd.
However, just as he crossed over the node, he heard Chi Lian shouting, "Get down, get down!"
Although Ceng Yin did not know what had happened, his reaction was not slow. He pressed Zhuge Bai, who was beside him, down onto the ground.
Just as the two of them laid down, a tongue of flame lapped across their sky.
Then, they saw Wu Shuang and Chi Lian, almost shoulder to shoulder, running past them. The moment the two of them started fighting, they used their killing techniques.
"Enemy attack!"
"What's going on?"
Ceng Yin and Zhuge Bai reacted quickly. One of them was still in the dark, but both of them turned around at the same time to look.
He saw Wu Shuang and Wu Shuang's tacit understanding fighting with a middle-aged man whose clothes were in a mess and whose goatee had become charred black. Who else could it be other than Iron Gallbladder Scholar?
"Chi Lian, trap him." Wu Shuang shouted in the middle of the battle.
Chi Lian made a sound of acknowledgement. He widened his eyes and sent out waves of power that were like blades slashing forward.
Iron Gallbladder Scholar cursed. He and Chilian Demon Princess were already around the same age. Plus, with a young man with amazing combat power, he was at a disadvantage right from the start.
0
Just as he dodged the waves of Scarlet Refinement, dozens of Blood Vines appeared under his feet and quickly wrapped around his body.
Although it could only trap him for one second like that, it was enough to determine victory or defeat in a fight. Wu Shuang's fist, which contained nine golden dragons, like a drill, smashed onto Iron Gallbladder Scholar's chest.
The so called Warsong Outfit, under such an attack, was not even comparable to a piece of paper and exploded into pieces with a bang. If not for Wu Shuang retracting half of his strength, this punch would have taken Iron Gallbladder Scholar's life.
