Chapter 30

The Heaven-Swallowing Snake was injured, and Zhou Yu stared bitterly at Fu Qing: “You dare to hurt my god?!”

Fu Qing held an arched bow and aimed it at Zhou Yu, not speaking nonsense with him in any way.

Xiuxiuxiu- Three arrows were fired in a row, and Zhou Yu staggered out of the way, but he didn’t expect to have a wolf in front and a tiger behind him. Guo Juexing, who had been conspired against by Zhou Yu, stabbed him in the back without hesitating.

Zhou Yu was stabbed, vomited blood, then dodged in shame as he shouted: “My Lord Saint, save me!”

When the saint didn’t arrive, Zhou Yu ran to seek shelter with the large snake, but unlike in Zhou Yu’s imagination, the injured snake didn’t care about a little follower like him.

The large snake’s mouth opened, and just as the odor wafted into his face, Zhou Yu was swallowed in one bite!

Guo Juexing backed away in shock, and then Fu Qing grabbed his arm and leapt away to avoid the snake’s attack.

Even though Guo Juexing was an experienced plater, he really had to admire Fu Qing’s excellent skills.

But soon after, Guo Juexing could no longer admire them.

The disparity amongst their bodies created a power difference. Even if Fu Qing’s arrows shot at the snake, it would just painlessly bounce off of its hard scales. He considered aiming at the soft mouth of the Heaven-Swallowing Snake with a single blow and causing it to suffer extreme damage, but he didn’t have much hope.

In a fit of desperation, Fu Qing actually chose to use a fire attack.

“Stop that!” Guo Juexing rushed to stop him. “You’re crazy! We’ll be burnt to death by the fire before that is!”

Fu Qing spoke icily: “This situation has come to an end. Either we’ll die together or we’ll be humiliated and killed. Do you think you have any other choices?”

“When dealing with the paperman, the saint was badly injured. This is a rare opportunity for us! This Tun Ri sect, if it isn’t destroyed today, it will kill more people in the future!”

“I want to punish them!” Fu Qing’s eyes were aflame with hatred. “I want to avenge my brother!”

“Laodi 1, wait a minute! What kind of way to die is that? A body is the same as a mountain. 2Those who are alive have to look ahead, ah!” Guo Juexing quickly grasped Fu Qing’s arm, begging him not to be impulsive with his actions. “You have such skill. Isn’t it easy to escape alive? Don’t be blinded by your hatred.”

Fu Qing was furious and tossed Guo Juexing off of himself, saying angrily: “If you want to run away, run away by yourself! If you dare to stop me, I’ll kill you as well!”

The Heaven-Swallowing Snake’s tail flicked wildly and swept above the two people. Guo Juexing separated from Fu Qing and hid far away from him.

Guo Juexing couldn’t figure out the love-hate relationship between Fu Qing and Tun Ri. His life and death were at stake and he didn’t want to worry about that nosy person, but You Xi was taken into the temple to save Zhou Yu, and it was unclear whether or not he was alive or dead. Even if Guo Juexing wanted to escape, he had to take You Xi, who had saved him, along with him.

From inside the jade gate, You Xi heard the motion from outside and banged frantically on the gate. Guo Juexing happened to hear the noise as he rushed forward.

“Dage! Stay away from the gate!” After finding You Xi, Guo Juexing felt luck was on his side and shouted at the Heaven-Swallowing Snake: “Stupid snake, look at these bricks!”

Guo Juexing took out a brick from his space pocket and couldn’t help tossing it at the snake.

After raising its hatred value, 3 the snake flicked its tail and attacked Guo Juexing. The latter nimbly jumped out of the way, only to hear a bang as the snake’s tail hit the jade gate. It made an earth-shattering noise, but the jade gate that was made from some unknown type of jade didn’t crack at all.

Really shitty.

Upon seeing that, You Xi completely got rid of his idea of relying on someone else to save him. He turned his head to look at the saint, who was still asleep, and without saying a word, tore off the saint’s wig and skirt and put them on himself.

It was his last chance. He put on the outfit, and then the princess picked up the comatose saint wearing a large pair of pants and stood in front of the jade gate. He didn’t expect the trick to work so well, but the jade gate slowly opened.

Outside the door, Fu Qing was being attacked by the large snake. One of his arms was twisted at an unnatural angle and he could no longer shoot any arrows. Guo Juexing was dodging the snake’s attacks while frantically extinguishing the flames.

When the jade gate opened, the two of them and the snake were shocked and wanted to leave.

“Ai? That’s the saint?” Guo Juexing was shocked. “…Fuck, so familiar.”

You Xi: “……”

The Heaven-Swallowing Snake was extremely near-sighted and used to recognize the saint by its breath. You Xi was currently holding the saint and was also wearing his clothing, so for a moment, he was hidden from the giant snake.

“Be quiet.” You Xi used his position as the saint to speak to the Heaven-Swallowing Saint, then turned to Fu Qing and Guo Juexing. “You both follow me obediently. If you don’t obey, I’ll be displeased, oh.”

Fu Qing was injured, so although he was unwilling to release the giant snake, he acknowledged the current situation and followed You Xi along with Guo Juexing.

Outside Tun Ri Temple, the situation was chaotic. Most of the holy envoys who were guarding Tun Ri Temple were running around trying to maintain order, so only two had been left to guard the saint, but they were all lying outside the temple at that moment. They had been beaten almost to death by Fu Qing until they were dazed and unconscious.

After walking out of Tun Ri Temple, You Xi sighed in relief and put the wig and skirt back on the saint.

Fu Qing clenched his hands into fists as he stared at the unconscious saint, his entire body trembling. While You Xi was putting the skirt on the saint, he rushed forward holding a large knife and stabbed directly at the saint.

But even as a praying mantis catches a cicada, there will be an oriole behind. Since he was worried about Fu Qing, who was acting abnormally, Guo Juexing was watching him. Seeing that he was about to make a move and cheat his teammates, he immediately smacked the back of Fu Qing’s head with a brick.

Fu Qing fell silently, caught by Guo Juexing.

“Dage, what should we do next?” Guo Juexing asked. “This underground palace is constantly changing, so it may be difficult for us to find an exit.”

“Ask him.” You Xi pointed at Fu Qing, who was knocked out. “This kid has big issues. Tie him up and torture him!”

Fu Qing was bound tightly by Guo Juexing and was rudely awoken. After waking up, his eyes were filled with hatred, and he said furiously: “Let me go, you ungrateful dogs!”

You Xi lifted his arms as he asked: “What kind of favour have you done for us? You were so malicious and sneaky before, screaming like a woman. At first glance, you didn’t have any good intentions. I haven’t asked you to settle any accounts. Now you even secretly want to kill the saint, but have you never thought that the skeleton army would retaliate against us after discovering the saint’s death?”

“What do you know?” Fu Qing said angrily. “How many people has this saint killed? He deserves to die! Without me, how could this sinful underground palace have been turned upside down like this? How could the saint have been hit so hard?”

“If it weren’t for me sticking an ancient curse on that paperman when I touched it and made it successfully turn into a demon, you idiots would have been lead by Zhou Yu and could have died who knows how many times.” Fu Qing said. “I learned to scream and shout like a woman to attract the attention of the paperman. Why is that sneaky and malicious?!”

You Xi frowned slightly. “You only did this for your revenge. You didn’t care about the rest of us. If you were unlucky and were killed by the paperman, you wouldn’t have cared. Since you were lucky in the end, it all became your favor?”

“But don’t worry. We won’t do anything to you. If you really want revenge, I won’t stop you, but don’t drag the rest of us into the water with you.” You Xi said. “Let’s make a deal. You’ll take us out of this divine tomb and we’ll untie the ropes around your body and give you the extremely injured saint.”

“When the time comes, the saint will be in your hands. Whether you want to kill him or main him, you can do everything you want.” You Xi negotiated seriously. “Guo Juexing and I just want to get out of here alive.”

Fu Qing raised his eyes: “Did you get the saint’s treasure?”

“–a black pearl.” You Xi said.

Fu Qing was disdainful as he spoke: “Just one, that’s only enough for one person to leave.”

“Don’t worry.” You Xi thought for a moment, then turned around and pulled off the saint’s wig. The wig had been messed with repeatedly that night and was about to fall apart. “This is definitely one of the saint’s treasures.”

“If you regret it and decide to leave with us, you can take the saint’s skirt. That’s definitely enough of a treasure.” This kind of thing was done several times, so You Xi didn’t care about morals anymore.

No one noticed, but the saint’s eyelashes trembled slightly from where he was fainted on the ground.
