"Shuffle! Shuffle! Shuffle!" In the silent clearing, only Liu Qingshan's footsteps could be heard. Each step seemed to land on everyone's heart, winding their nerves tighter and tighter.
Yet Liu Qingshan walked slower and slower, until he was practically crawling like a tortoise. After lifting a foot, he would hold it there for ages before setting it down. Sun Xing was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He had only himself to blame for sealing Liu Qingshan's hearing and voice.
What Sun Xing did not know was that Liu Qingshan's eyes were fixed on Li Xiaoya. Whenever he sped up, Li Xiaoya immediately frowned; whenever he slowed down, Li Xiaoya's brow immediately relaxed. Naturally, he understood that Li Xiaoya wanted him to go as slowly as possible.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a purple fireball shot toward Liu Qingshan's back and struck beside his feet with a bang! Liu Qingshan naturally knew that Sun Xing was urging him on from behind.
But Liu Qingshan remained unmoved, keeping the same slow pace. Sun Xing could only keep launching fireballs to hurry him along.
"!" Liu Qingshan suddenly saw Li Xiaoya take something glittering with golden light out of his Storage Pouch and prepare to throw it forward. His expression shifted, and his feet abruptly picked up speed as he ran toward Li Xiaoya. With his magic power sealed, however, he was only a little faster than an ordinary person.
"Catch!" Li Xiaoya actually hurled the golden Jade Slip with all his strength! His aim, however, was rather far off to one side.
"Hmph!" Sun Xing's expression changed. He swept his divine sense over the Jade Slip and, finding nothing dangerous, shot toward it to catch it. At the same time, he roared at the Demonic Path cultivators, "Attack!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
