Chapter 58

Qitian looked at Zhao Zhiyin with disdain, as if mocking his intelligence. "Or did you think we came from somewhere else?"

"Really? It actually exploded through? Was it that powerful?" Zhao Zhiyin asked, puzzled.

"The power wasn't too great, but it was much stronger than a regular Thunderbolt Pill. The first Thunderbolt Pill didn't break through the underground palace; it just shook it, causing some areas to collapse and blocking the passage," Qitian continued.

"After that, did you escape? No, that's not right. You were so badly injured, you must have had a battle," Zhao Zhiyin guessed, then immediately rejected his own answer.

"Exactly. At that time, the snake could actually burrow, and we couldn't block it. The most terrifying thing was that behind us was an open area, and we didn't have time to run; we would definitely be caught..." Qitian began to describe the situation, making it sound as dire as possible.

At this moment, everyone became tense, as if they were right there.

"Later, the leader decided to use the last Thunderbolt Pill. Qin Shuang said to aim for the snake's vital point, so I threw it at the snake's vital point. At that moment, the whole world seemed to stop, and we just watched the Thunderbolt Pill fly towards the snake's vital point..."

"..."

Damn, is it necessary to be so exaggerated? Zhao Zhiyin thought to himself, but he didn't interrupt Qitian's narration, as that would only slow things down.

"Finally, the snake noticed and swept its tail, sending the Thunderbolt Pill upwards. I have to say, little junior brother's medicine was also defective. When the snake swept it, it didn't explode until it hit the rocks above..."

"The rocks above were blasted open, and stones started falling down, some quite large. Most importantly, all the passages collapsed, and we were completely trapped!"

"Ah..." Qiuyue exclaimed in tension at this point, grabbing Chu Xiong's arm tightly, as if letting go would make Chu Xiong disappear.

"Later, the snake started attacking Sister Qin Shuang. At that time, I wanted to help Sister Qin Shuang, but I lacked the strength. I just hated myself for being so useless..." Qitian raised his head, his deep expression making people want to punch him.

"Enough, enough. You don't need to explain your mindset. Just tell us what happened," Zhao Zhiyin interrupted Qitian, knowing that if he continued, it would take another fifteen minutes.

"Later, Sister Qin Shuang realized she might not be able to win, so she used a desperate move. I don't know what it was, but I saw her body emit a captivating light, and then she executed a beautiful sword technique, striking the snake's blood crest. The snake was in great pain, and Sister Qin Shuang was thrown back..."

"At that moment, after a moment of deep thought, we decided to attack, not wasting the opportunity Sister Qin Shuang created. The leader and I flew up, and I'm sure Sister Qin Shuang saw my heroic posture..."

"Get to the point!" Zhao Zhiyin said again.

"Then, we elegantly struck the snake's vital point, dealing it a near-fatal blow. The snake instantly severely injured us and knocked us back. However, it was also on its last breath, only able to recover there..."

Qitian cleared his throat and continued, "But we couldn't move or recover our injuries. We would definitely be eaten by the snake. Just when we were in despair, a savior fell from the sky—it was little junior brother."

"..."

At this moment, Bu Haifeng and the others were secretly envious. Why did Bu Zheng fall down to save them, and not him? This was a completely advantageous situation; the snake couldn't move, and all he had to do was save them easily.

Everyone seemed to think that Bu Zheng just saved them, but the snake wasn't killed. Even if it was severely injured and couldn't move, it was still a sixth-level beast. Not to mention Bu Zheng, even if they were there, they couldn't kill it.

But what followed was something that shocked them greatly...

"What? That kid used the Thunderbolt Pill to kill the snake? So, you actually killed the snake?" Zhao Zhiyin jumped up when he heard the result, not expecting it to be like this.

At this moment, Bu Haifeng was even more envious. He felt that if he had as many Thunderbolt Pills, he could have killed the snake too. It was an easy task, but this made Bu Zheng's contribution particularly important. It wasn't just saving them; he played a crucial role in killing the sixth-level beast.

No wonder Qin Shuang looked at Bu Zheng differently. This was a matter of saving her life. Oh, why wasn't it me?!

"That's right, who would have thought? Honestly, I didn't expect this result either," Qitian sighed.

"This little junior brother Bu Zheng is really interesting, but I don't think this is enough to make Sister Qin Shuang treat him like this. There must be something else," Zhao Zhiyin said. Qin Shuang was from his Green Lotus Peak, and he knew her well. This didn't seem like her character.

"I don't know. I've told you everything I know. If you want to know more, ask her yourself," Qitian waved his hand.

"Ask what? Who dares to ask her? Anyway, it's none of our business. Maybe Sister Qin Shuang's spring heart has started to move; after all, she's at the age where young girls think about love," Zhao Zhiyin said with a smile.

"Hmph, even if her spring heart moves, it shouldn't be for a mere servant!" Bu Haifeng interjected, looking不服 (unconvinced).

"Bu Haifeng, don't say I didn't warn you. Qin Shuang can make you and your family disappear with just a finger. Don't think she's easy to deal with. She just doesn't want to bother with someone like you. To her, you're not even as good as a servant disciple from her side," Zhao Zhiyin said seriously, both as a warning and a statement of fact.

"..." Bu Haifeng was speechless because he understood Zhao Zhiyin's words.

To Qin Shuang, both Bu Haifeng and Bu Zheng were the same—worse than the servant disciples of her faction. If she really valued this, she would look at Bu Haifeng the same way he looked at Bu Zheng.

Chu Xiong looked at Bu Haifeng. Reality was indeed cruel. He hoped this would be a lesson for Bu Haifeng, and he would work hard in the future instead of wasting time on impossible things. He was still a promising talent.

Chu Xiong was also puzzled. Why did Qin Shuang treat Bu Zheng differently? What about Bu Zheng caught her interest? This wasn't just a matter of being saved and then offering oneself in return.
