#159 - Chapter 159 I'm a pity
Huang Ping realized something was wrong and shook his body, trying to break the earth chains, but all his efforts were in vain.
The mud from the ground was inexhaustible. Even if Huang Ping broke the earth chains, new ones would emerge and bind him again.
"Li Chenqiu, if you have the ability, compete with me on the ground. What kind of skill is it to bully people underground!" Huang Ping shouted loudly.
Li Chenqiu's lips curled up: "Didn't you say you were the king of the underground?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenqiu gripped the sickle and swung it to the side.
Sizzle—
Scalding hot blood spurted out.
"Ahhh!"
Accompanied by Huang Ping's miserable screams, half of the giant snake's head rolled to the ground.
Inside the giant snake, half of Huang Ping's head also slid to the ground along with his shoulder.
Although Li Chenqiu didn't know about Huang Ping's existence, he knew that the giant snake in front of him had the ability to regenerate.
Without delay, he jumped into the giant snake's body and ran towards the snake's tail, searching for the students who had been taken away by Huang Ping.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Deep red flames roared from under Li Chenqiu's feet, and everywhere he passed was engulfed in flames.
This kind of pain of being constantly burned by fire tormented Huang Ping to the point of wishing he were dead. After all, not everyone could endure everything in silence like Li Chenqiu.
Huang Ping couldn't bear it any longer and rushed out of the giant snake's belly, crawling on the ground in a disheveled state.
The giant snake, as if it had lost its energy, stopped thrashing. The scene gradually quieted down, with only the "sizzling" sound of flames burning snake meat.
Huang Ping regained his senses from the pain and stood up staggeringly. Just as he was about to flee, hundreds of ropes made of mud sprang out from all directions, firmly binding his hands, feet, waist, abdomen, and neck.
A strong sense of horror appeared in Huang Ping's eyes. Realizing that the life energy in his body was about to be exhausted, he tugged at the mud ropes on his body like a madman.
"Get out, get out, get out!" Huang Ping shouted in panic.
Tap, tap, tap...
At this moment, a series of dull footsteps came from behind Huang Ping, from far to near.
"Interesting, so the one who has been talking to me is a Resurgent. I thought it was that giant snake."
Li Chenqiu approached Huang Ping step by step, carrying Ember.
After hearing the voice from behind, Huang Ping's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his legs weakened as he collapsed to the ground.
Now that his life energy was exhausted and his body was aging rapidly, how could he possibly defeat Li Chenqiu, who had all the advantages of the environment?
After understanding this, Huang Ping moved his knees and knelt down in front of Li Chenqiu: "Li... Li Brother, I know a lot of information about the New World, please don't kill me, please don't kill me, I can tell you everything!"
"Do you remember what I said before? I told you to wait, wait to become my Soul Soldier." Li Chenqiu raised Ember high above his head.
"Big Brother, calm down. I was a little excessive before, but I can atone for my sins. I know I was wrong, please give me a chance to atone!"
Huang Ping's head was pressed tightly to the ground, his attitude as humble as it could be.
"You don't know you were wrong, you just know you're about to die."
The sickle blade cut through the air, bringing with it a bit of scarlet. Huang Ping wanted to raise his hand to touch his forehead, but ultimately it became a pipe dream.
His body was neatly cut in half and fell to both sides.
At the same time, the students who had lost their restraints escaped from the snake's belly one after another.
When they saw a person covered in blood standing in the distance, they all subconsciously retreated, looking at Li Chenqiu's back with horrified eyes.
"Who is that? How... how is he covered in blood?"
"Could it be a Resurgent? He hasn't died even after bleeding so much..."
"That flame, that sickle, isn't that Li Chenqiu?"
"It's Li Chenqiu, it's Li Chenqiu!"
Everyone finally realized that the bloody person in the distance was Li Chenqiu, and joy appeared on their faces.
Standing in the crowd, Qi Mingyue's pupils trembled, and his hands hanging on both sides trembled slightly. He wanted to step forward, but he took half a step and then retracted it, silently standing in the shadows.
Dense and chaotic footsteps came from behind Li Chenqiu.
Zhou Qinshu surrounded him: "Big Brother Li, are you okay!"
Hua Qiu also asked nervously: "Li Chenqiu, is your wrist okay? Can you still arm wrestle?"
"Hehehe, th-thank~ you~" Zhang Zhixing floated in front of Li Chenqiu like a ghost.
The students surrounded Li Chenqiu, and concerned gazes focused on Li Chenqiu.
Li Chenqiu waved his hand and was about to say something when Xiang Nanzhi, who was squeezed into the crowd, began to act up.
Xiang Nanzhi raised her arms high and sang with impassioned enthusiasm: "It is you who lead us to peace, it is you who let us see hope, it is you, it is you, it is..."
Under Xiang Nanzhi's call, more and more people began to sing "Thank You, Li Chenqiu".
"We can't forget you, thank you, because of you..."
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Li Chenqiu's face turned red, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "poof".
Seeing this, the singing on the field came to an abrupt end.
Xiang Nanzhi hurriedly ran forward, patted Li Chenqiu's back, and pretended to care: "Li Chenqiu, don't die, how can I live without you, Qiu Zi~"
Li Chenqiu's mouth twitched, and he raised his head and said: "The situation is urgent now. Teacher Gao is holding back a very powerful Resurgent. I will take you out, and then go to support Teacher Gao!"
"Okay, but Big Brother Li, how are you going to take us out?" Zhou Qinshu tilted his head.
Xiang Nanzhi asked suspiciously: "Li Chenqiu, I have a few points that I'm very curious about. How did you get down here? Also, the giant snake is obviously dead, so why hasn't this place collapsed yet?"
Hearing this, the students also looked at Li Chenqiu with curiosity.
"I have a Mysterious Artifact that can control the soil, this is..."
Li Chenqiu repeated the prepared speech again, and everyone suddenly understood.
After that, Li Chenqiu controlled the soil and settled everyone down, then rushed to the battlefield between Gao Fushuai and Meng Huo.
……
……
Bang!
Gao Fushuai smashed into the distant hill like a missile, stirring up dust all over the sky.
"Cough cough, I'm done for, I'm going to die!"
Gao Fushuai covered his chest, gasping for breath, his face without a trace of blood.
Whoosh!
The smoke and dust in front of Gao Fushuai was torn open, and Meng Huo, holding a dagger, slashed towards Gao Fushuai's neck.
Gao Fushuai slapped the ground with one hand and shook himself up, dodging the dagger blade by a hair's breadth.
Meng Huo glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly flipped the arm holding the dagger.
Crack!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the dagger, like a poisonous snake, changed direction and tore towards Gao Fushuai's neck.
At the critical moment, in order to survive, Gao Fushuai released his long-accumulated ultimate move.
He pursed his lips and looked at Meng Huo's face with a firm gaze.
"Ptooey!"
