Chapter 66 - 66
He didn't know if Luo Binghe understood, but he forged ahead, his face darkening.
This wilderness battlefield amidst the crowd of beasts immediately became a three-way brawl. Tianlang-Jun was fighting two, Liu Qingge was also fighting two, Luo Binghe was fighting one and ignoring one, while still bearing two people's worth of attacks. Black energy and white light exploded across the scene, sword shrieks and beast hisses rushing into the sky.
Liu Qingge came to rescue Shen Qingqiu, but the ring encircling him grew thicker and thicker. Cheng Luan whirled like a miniature tornado, and the dozen blood beasts mixed in the crowd splattered into thousands of droplets of blood. Shen Qingqiu yelled, "Close your mouth! Don't swallow them!"
Liu Qingge didn't need to close his mouth at all━those droplets couldn't even moisten his sleeves. Tianlang-Jun, however, smiled. "I seem to have forgotten that Peak Lord Shen is still here."
He wished he had been forgotten... once Tianlang-Jun remembered he was here, life would get much more difficult for him. A griping pain crawled up thickly in his stomach. At first, Luo Binghe was the fiercest of the three fighters, each strike directed precisely at Tianlang-Jun, but now his offense suddenly slowed, his heart divided. Shen Qingqiu yelled, "Keep fighting. Don't mind me!"
He didn't shout or cry out, pretending he couldn't feel anything at all. Returning to the tent, he dragged out Zhuzhi-Lang, his smile twisted into a sneer. "You won't be able to throw yourself under my sword this time, right?"
Zhuzhi-Lang said helplessly, "I owe a heavy debt of kindness to both Peak Lord Shen and my lord. Why must you always make things difficult for me?"
A cold sweat broke out on Shen Qingqiu's pained back. He idly threw back a response to distract himself. "You really keep a clear record of your gratitudes and grudges."
The demon race's officials were truly each as dedicated to their profession as Sha Hualing, preaching their grand mission at every possible opportunity. Zhuzhi-Lang, under the point of his sword, continued to admonish him. "That's right. So, because the four great sects overpowered my lord with base tricks many years ago, one day, they will pay. Cang Qiong Mountain, Zhao Hua Temple, Huan Hua Palace, Tian Yi Overlook━my lord said not one will be left behind, so it's certain that not one will be left behind."
Hearing him bring up Huan Hua Palace, Shen Qingqiu's heartstrings tightened.
After he had escaped from Huan Hua Palace's water prison into Hua Yue City, he had heard that the disciples guarding the water prison had all been killed. Even Gongyi Xiao was not lucky enough to escape. This black pot had been thrown on his head at the time, and he had pressed it on Luo Binghe's head in turn. But, while rushing about until today, he never had the chance to determine who had actually killed them.
