Chapter 568: Chapter 365: Ancient War Returning! Luo Qi Proving Dao?! [Request for Monthly Tickets!]
Bang bang!
Boom boom!
"Although the ’Golden Crown Soul Suppressing Bear’ is known to live in groups, usually twenty to thirty form a pack. If there are more, they tend to divide. Here, we are besieged by at least ten bear groups!"
"What is happening!"
Rumble!
The Little West Mountain forest is tall and dense. Guo Xi, Luo Qi, Gongyang Yu, Zhuge Zhen, Cai Ru’an, and Chi Gao each hold an array flag and occupy a position, forming the ’Six Harmonies Gold Top Array’ to arduously hold on.
Outside the array—
Rumble!
Three hundred ’Golden Cauldron Soul Suppressing Bears’ relentlessly attack, charging one after another, either ramming or slamming, causing the ’Six Harmonies Gold Top Array’s’ golden light to tremble, its coverage shrinking further and further. A day has passed, the six of them are nearly back-to-back, about to reach their limit.
In the past, their group of seven could form an array with six of them at any time to fend off an alien beast swarm attack, while sparing energy to activate exotic treasures against the enemy, cooperating with Liu Xin’s ’Chasing God Blade’ which could split into three for autonomous attacks, making the seven invincible together.
But this time—
"Roar!"
The three hundred Soul Suppressing Bears roared in unison, causing the golden light to quiver. The weakest, Chi Gao, had his eardrums and the corners of his eyes split by the roar, blood oozing out.
The remaining five were all dazed and disoriented.
Still waiting—
Boom boom!
The three hundred Soul Suppressing Bears stomped simultaneously, shaking the ground, the six-person array almost unable to stand.
Danger!
Danger!
Despair filled Guo Xi’s heart.
She hailed from the so-called ’Spear King Family,’ the first family of Bi State, the Guo Family. Her grandfather was the past Family Head, her father is the current Family Head, and her legitimate elder brother with the same mother is the next Family Head.
Her background reaches the heavens.
With the ’Six Harmonies Gold Top Array,’ a third-Rank peak exotic treasure array, and having acquired the ’Golden Stick,’ containing eighteen families’ spear and staff technique absolute skills.
Guo Xi should have had a boundless future.
But now in Tiger Hunting Land.
In this Little West Mountain.
"Junior Sister Liu rushing back from Little West Mountain without stopping will take at least a day. Waiting for her to bring reinforcements will take at least another day."
Round trip, at least two days.
But they have only just barely held on for a little over a day now, and in the following long half-day, facing the increasingly fierce and increasingly violent three hundred Soul Suppressing Bears, how can they resist?
Guo Xi despaired: "Am I really going to meet my end here today?"
Not only Guo Xi despaired.
Luo Qi and the other five were all heavenly prides, known names on the ’Hidden Dragon’ and ’Chufeng’ two lists, destined at least to have a standing on the ’Earthly List’ if not Innate in the future.
But now, they were about to die in a remote mountain forest.
Tragic!
Sorrowful!
Thinking back to Yan Chuan, Chen Ze, Ding Xiang, and others, who once competed together in the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, and now—
Yan Chuan has already become the City Lord of Tan Valley Royal City, controlling the Earth Gate portal for entering and exiting Heavenly Ladder City.
Chen Ze has proven Dao and become Innate, envied by others.
Ding Xiang, Wang Zhengyi, and others have scored seven hundred points in the Heavenly Ladder, earning participation in the ’King City Competition.’
Each has already gone ahead.
Believing the seven could band together to carve a bloody path through Tiger Hunting Land and other dangerous places, achieving a narrow escape to surpass others.
But now!
But now!
But now!
"Ai ai ai!"
Luo Qi sighed!
Among the six, his fall was the greatest. Once fourth on the ’Hidden Dragon’ list, now he had fallen out of the top ten, and at this moment, his life was in peril.
"My life!"
"Is it really going to end in such disgrace?"
No!
No!
It shouldn’t be this way!
Holding the array flag in both hands, Luo Qi lifted his gaze to see the three hundred Soul Suppressing Bears around them, with the sound of soul-shaking roars ringing in his ears. Anger filled his heart, an unwillingness surged, Luo Qi suddenly freed one hand to retrieve the ’Ancient Sound of the Primordial World’ qin from his back and place it horizontally before him, plucking three fingers across the strings—
Zheng~
The sound of the qin arose!
Iron horses and icy rivers, decisive in battle.
"This piece is played for my life!"
Facing the three hundred ’Golden Crown Soul Suppressing Bears’ roars, his piece ’Ancient War Returning’ was imbued with anger and discontent, magnificently heroic, and for a time, it complemented the Soul Suppressing Bears’ roars and stomping in response. The more Luo Qi played, the more engaged he became, and the Soul Suppressing Bears seemed to be infected as well. Their roars and stomps began to change along with the qin melody.
Merged!
Blended!
Forming an extremely beautiful yet angry and tragic qin melody.
...
"It’s Luo Qi!"
Yan Chuan, with clear ears and keen eyes, almost heard the sound of the qin coming from the forest up ahead simultaneously with Chen Ze. In Little West Mountain, the only one capable of playing qin music is Luo Qi, who possesses the ’Ancient Sound of the Primordial World.’
"Yes!"
"Just ahead! It must be Luo Qi!"
Liu Xin was in an ungraceful posture, the dignified ’Chasing God Blade’ clamped at Chen Ze’s waist, using Wave Riding Micro Steps, dizzy and disoriented while occasionally pointing directions until, startled by the sound of the qin, she took a closer look, realizing they had already reached Little West Mountain.
So fast!
Too fast!
Liu Xin had rushed nonstop from Little West Mountain back to Tan Valley Royal City, exhausting herself on the journey, running for eleven whole hours, nearly a full day and night. Yet bringing Yan Chuan and Chen Ze over had taken only two or three hours.
So fast, incredibly fast!
Chen Ze, a Grandmaster in status, seamlessly connecting the Heaven and Earth Two Bridges, with deep foundations, could sprint effortlessly even while carrying the burden of Liu Xin. That wasn’t surprising.
But Yan Chuan wasn’t Innate, yet he managed to keep pace with Chen Ze’s stepping technique, possessing such speed—this was terrifying!
Being a fellow sword discussion heavenly pride, Liu Xin considered herself not inferior, but in terms of long-distance sprinting, Yan Chuan’s speed was surprisingly three to four times hers?
Shocking!
Incomprehensible!
Upon hearing Luo Qi’s qin melody, Liu Xin, guessing everyone was safe, finally paid attention to Yan Chuan’s extraordinary speed on this journey.
Not only Liu Xin was shocked.
Chen Ze was equally shocked.
As an Innate, though he had been burdened by Liu Xin while traveling just now, he had not held back on speed, nearly sprinting at full throttle. Yet no matter how much he sped up, Yan Chuan always managed to keep up, being only Postnatal, merely limit-breaking, Yan Chuan’s speed could actually rival that of an Innate Grandmaster?
