Chapter 319 The Chosen One and the Fifth Talent
Upon seeing the silver-haired woman wrapped in a wasteland-style cloak, the drunkard's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"How could it be her?!"
The timid young man was utterly bewildered. "Who is she?"
"Idiot, you don't even recognize her?!" The elf-eared girl exclaimed incredulously. "Really?"
The spineless young man wore a bitter expression.
"I haven't been in the capital for very long... I accidentally stumbled into this abyss."
The gentle woman explained, "She is Zheng Huangtong, the president of the Bow and Phoenix Guild from the Zheng family of the capital. Her nickname is 'Judgment Princess,' and she is very powerful. Even my younger brother is quite wary of her."
"Miss Qingyi, Miss Qingya, please step back a little and stay behind me," said the golden-armored female swordswoman, gripping the hilt of her sword at her waist, her sharp gaze fixed on the two people in the distance with apprehension.
The spineless young man, his face filled with panic, asked, "Should we...should we fight? Why?"
The gentle woman explained, "Our Qing family and the Zheng family don't have a very good relationship..."
"Just a bad relationship? They're clearly sworn enemies! Good heavens, I hope we don't come to blows. I don't want to offend such a big shot."
The drunkard took another sip of his drink, swayed as he stood up, scratched his head, and said, "It wasn't mentioned before that I wanted to fight the Princess of Judgment. It's not in the contract, so I'm not going to play along."
He had barely finished speaking.
Zheng Huangtong's gaze fell upon them.
"boom!"
A powerful martial arts pressure descended instantly, overwhelming and enveloping the group.
The expressions on their faces changed slightly.
The elf-eared girl gritted her teeth and said, "Zheng Huangtong! What do you mean?!"
"Oh my, it's the two young ladies from the Qing family. I didn't see them before; I thought they were some petty thieves," Zheng Huangtong said with a light laugh.
She and Jiang Yuan stood on the hill of steel ruins, looking down at the group of people not far away.
"The two young ladies of the Qing family go out with only this many people? That's quite unusual."
The elf-eared girl gritted her teeth. If it weren't for the abyss anomaly that separated them from the main force, they wouldn't have ended up in this state.
"An enemy?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Zheng Huangtong explained, "It's not exactly a blood feud, but we're not exactly close either. It's more of a relationship between the older generation. Once upon a time, an ancestor of her Qing family betrayed my Zheng family's patriarch, and that's how the two families became enemies."
Jiang Yuan nodded.
Since this is a matter between the two families, let Zheng Huangtong handle it herself.
His gaze swept over the group, finally settling on the spineless young man, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Oh, that's interesting.
This guy, like Tetsuya Yamashita from Japan, is also a chosen one blessed with destiny.
Just by looking into Jiang Yuan's eyes.
The cowardly young man couldn't help but take a step back, his heart filled with instinctive fear, wanting to get away from the boy in black on the hill.
"Hey, you good-for-nothing, what's wrong with you?" the elf-eared girl asked, puzzled.
The spineless young man couldn't explain it; even he himself couldn't understand why he was so afraid.
Zheng Huangtong laughed as she spoke to the golden-armored female swordswoman:
"Hey, Li Qingge, I told you last time, with your abilities, staying in the Qing family as a nanny for pampered young ladies like them is a waste of your talent. Why not join our Bow Phoenix Guild? The treatment is definitely better than in the Qing family."
"Thank you for your kind offer, Ms. Zheng, but it's not necessary."
The golden-armored female swordsman said calmly.
She drew her long sword from her waist, unleashing an unparalleled aura of sharpness. Her martial will merged with her swordsmanship, and she managed to briefly resist Zheng Huangtong's martial pressure.
For an eighth-level grandmaster, this is already quite amazing.
"I could never repay the kindness of the Qing family, even if I gave up my life."
Upon hearing this...
Zheng Huangtong felt only regret, but at the same time, she admired him even more.
She composed herself and said calmly, "Qing Luochen isn't here, so there's no point in bullying you. You can leave now."
Upon hearing this...
Both the gentle woman and the spineless young man breathed a sigh of relief.
But the elf-eared girl, fearless as a newborn calf, stepped forward and demanded, "Why should we leave?"
"Why aren't you leaving? We were here first, why should you have the dungeon entrance all to yourself? Don't think we're afraid of you just because you're from the Zheng family. What 'Judging Princess'? I doubt you're even a match for my brother!"
These words were spoken.
The group immediately sensed something was wrong.
as predicted.
Zheng Huangtong narrowed her eyes slightly and said "Oh".
"OK."
"Since you don't want to leave, then none of you should leave. Given the abyss's upheaval, it's only fair that you all die here. As for Qing Luochen, even if he were here, so what?"
whoosh-
She raised the Judgment in her hand, pulled the trigger towards the sky, and a crimson arrow shot through the air.
next moment.
Four enormous, crimson arrows descended from the sky, piercing the four cardinal directions and forming a barrier that enveloped the group.
"My goodness, you're going to get us killed!"
The drunkard felt a chill run down his spine; he was starting to sober up.
The golden-armored female swordsman's expression was solemn.
The elf-eared girl scoffed, "What's there to be afraid of? There are only two of them. You're a renowned ninth-tier Grandmaster, and with Sister Li along, dealing with Zheng Huangtong shouldn't be a problem."
"As for that guy, he doesn't seem that strong. I can handle him."
As she said this, she stared at Jiang Yuan's figure and face, her eyes filled with drooling and longing.
She hadn't met such a handsome man in a long time; wouldn't it be a waste not to take him back with her?
Jiang Yuan smiled at her.
The elf-eared girl felt her heart skip a beat.
Wow!
It's so beautiful!!
hateful!
"..."
Upon hearing her words, the others were speechless and stood there stunned.
Zheng Huangtong laughed even harder.
I'd heard that the second young lady of the Qing family was spoiled and domineering, but I never expected her to be so... stupid.
The cowardly youth silently retreated behind the crowd, then his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the steel fortress at an extremely fast speed.
This scene was completely unexpected by everyone present.
Apart from one person.
Where are you going?
Space fluctuated, and a figure appeared in front of the cowardly youth.
The spineless young man's pupils contracted.
I saw a hand magnified in my pupils.
Without hesitation, he put his hands in front of him and shouted:
"The Wall of Emptiness!"
A void barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking Jiang Yuan's grab, but it shattered instantly like glass.
Seize this opportunity.
The cowardly youth spread out and unleashed his skill, creating a void behind him from which three enormous mechanical tentacles emerged.
"The claws of the crack."
Looking at the cowardly young man who was now displaying his strength and whose eyes had become sharp and piercing.
The elf-eared girl and the others found it somewhat unbelievable.
"That good-for-nothing actually..."
"That strong?!"
Bang bang bang!
The attack from the three mechanical tentacles was repelled by the barrier formed from blood and qi as soon as it approached Jiang Yuan.
In Jiang Yuan's eyes, everything about the other party was clear, including their name, occupation, and even their talents.
Qin Kui, a sixth-tier martial artist, is a legendary Void Puppet Master with an SS-level talent—Curse Energy Synchronization. This talent allows him to channel all energy into his mechanical creations, creating extremely powerful and unique puppets, and even has a certain chance of creating a machine soul.
Jiang Yuan smiled.
The fifth talent slot for the Blood Sacrifice Gloves has been filled.
