The Special Investigation Squad followed the sedan chair through this natural maze.
Surprisingly, these sedan chair bearers, carrying what appeared to be several tons of weight, moved at a remarkably fast pace.
Sometimes even Si Xiaobei got tired, but the sedan chair carriers still walked lightly and didn't seem tired at all.
As they continued their journey, fatigue gradually enveloped everyone in the Special Investigation Squad.
Adding to the confusion was the smog that had appeared out of nowhere, which made them start to feel disoriented.
Suddenly, Ye Yiqing's pupils trembled, and he swiftly drew his sword, placing the blade against the leader's neck.
Faced with the blade so close at hand, the lead sedan bearer showed no fear, but instead smiled and looked at Ye Yiqing.
"Boss, what's wrong? Are you too tired?"
"Where's my brother?" Ye Yiqing said coldly, pressing the knife closer to the other man's neck.
The others then realized that Ye Ciqing had vanished without a trace.
"Ah!" Xing Lan exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Xuan hurriedly inquired.
Xing Lan frantically scanned everyone with her eyes, her face filled with despair.
"H- Hela is gone!"
Ye Ciqing, with his hands in his pockets, followed Xiaohua to a hilltop.
Looking at the Xiaohua carrying him on its back, Ye Ciqing said with a mischievous grin:
"So what exactly did you call me here for? Let me tell you beforehand, I already have a girlfriend~"
Xiaohua didn't react much, but instead turned around, looking quite cheerful.
She smiled sweetly and slowly walked up to Ye Ciqing.
"Oh dear, this isn't a good idea. Although what you're doing sounds romantic, I'm not going to go along with it."
Ye Ciqing held one hand in front of his mouth to prevent the other person from kissing him directly.
But there seemed to be a hint of expectation in his eyes.
The scene Ye Ciqing had envisioned did not appear. Instead, he saw Xiaohua staring at his hair with a light shining in her eyes.
Your hair is so beautiful, it feels as pure as snow.
He paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure and smoothed his white hair.
"Of course, it's natural, and lots of people compliment my hair!"
Ye Ciqing looked proud.
"Such a pure head, the gods would surely love it. Could you cut it off and give it to them?"
"Of course..."
Ye Ciqing mouth suddenly froze, and he stared wide-eyed at Xiaohua in disbelief.
The other person smiled faintly, slowly pulled a small knife from their pocket, and still had a sweet smile on their face.
"When you first came to the village, I felt that your head was perfect for offering to the gods, so please give it to me."
Snap!
Ye Ciqing slapped Xiaohua across the face, making her cheek turn bright red.
He then quickly took two steps back and assumed a defensive stance.
"Damn it, I'm really speechless. How did I end up with a rural yandere?!"
After saying that, he took out the badminton racket from behind his back.
Xiaohua gently stroked her reddened face, her expression slowly turning cold.
"Since you don't want to give it to me, then I'll just have to take it myself."
Then a powerful aura erupted from her.
Half-Step King Master '.
A strange black rune appeared on her neck and the knife in her hand, imprinted on it like a plant.
But then, Ye Ciqing, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly turned and ran away?!
"Ah--! Onii-chan! Someone wants to take your grandpa's head! Come save me!"
He ran while shouting for help.
Seeing the Xiaohua's lips twitch, she had made up her mind that after cutting off Ye Ciqing's head, she would first crack open his skull to see what his brain was made of.
Xiaohua's body floated up like a balloon and flew straight towards Ye Ciqing.
Ye Ciqing shouted as he ran at top speed, with Xiaohua chasing after him like a ghost.
But Xiaohua was clearly faster, and the distance between them was constantly decreasing.
When the two were less than ten meters apart, the knife in Xiaohua's hand flew up.
It swiftly stabbed towards the back of Ye Ciqing's head.
Hearing the sound of a knife cutting through the air behind him, Ye Ciqing swerved and turned, but the knife didn't even touch his hair before it plunged straight into the tree.
Just as he dodged the attack, Ye Ciqing suddenly raised his hand towards Xiaohua.
A thick bone spur rose from the ground and pierced the Xiaohua from bottom to top.
Xiaohua Hua's pupils contracted, and she quickly swayed her body, narrowly avoiding the bone spur.
Before she could recover, she looked up and saw a bone javelin looming larger and larger in her eyes.
Xiaohua dodged to the side again, but her shoulder was still stabbed and a large gash appeared.
She let out a muffled groan, clutching her shoulder where blood was gushing out.
Ye Ciqing then recalled the bone javelin and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! You little brat, you think you're invincible just because your cultivation level is a bit higher than mine!"
Xiaohua glanced at Ye Ciqing, who was still laughing loudly, and quietly reached out a hand to touch the big tree next to her.
Seeing the other party's subtle movements, Ye Ciqing threw the javelin without saying a word.
With its powerful force and enhanced by her own abilities, the javelin reached Xiaohua in less than half a second.
Just as the stab was about to land, the big tree that Xiaohua was touching suddenly tilted and fell in front of her.
The javelin got stuck in the tree trunk and stopped in front of the Xiaohua.
"?!"
Before Ye Ciqing could even react with surprise, the knife that Ye had dodged earlier was pulled from the tree trunk, the tip turned around, and aimed at something.
Pfft!
Caught completely off guard, Ye Ciqing was stabbed in the waist.
"Ah! My kidneys!"
Ye Ciqing knelt down in pain, clutching his wound, and raised his hand to try and recall the javelin.
But the next moment, the entire tree crashed down on him.
"Oh my goodness!"
Before he could even get up, he was already running away on all fours.
But it was still struck by a thick tree and buried underneath, where it remained motionless.
Xiaohua put the knife back into her hand and looked at Ye Ciqing, who was trapped under the big tree with his eyes closed, with a sense of revenge.
How dare they ambush me! They deserve it!
She gripped the knife tightly and slowly floated towards Ye Ciqing, preparing to cut off his head.
puff--!
A thick bone spur once again emerged from the ground without warning.
This time, Xiaohua couldn't dodge and was pierced straight through the abdomen, impaled by bone spurs.
Xiaohua coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face filled with shock.
A skeletal hand grew out from one side of the bone spike and grasped Xiaohua's knife.
Then the large tree pressing down on Ye Ciqing was also firmly impaled by several ribs that rose from the ground, rendering it unable to move.
Ye Ciqing crawled out from under the tree, looking somewhat disheveled, and saw that Xiaohua was pierced by thorns and unable to move.
He burst into laughter again, even more outrageous than before.
"Hahahaha! A country bumpkin is just like a country bumpkin, she clearly hasn't been in many fights, she doesn't even know how to finish off an enemy!"
As he spoke, the javelin in his hand transformed into a long-handled warhammer, which he held with both hands and raised above his head.
"You! Any last words?"
