A sandstorm, with its powerful winds, swept the yellow sand from the ground into the air, obscuring almost all visibility, leaving only a huge and chaotic wind circle rolling in.

For some reason, Xu Qian suddenly thought of the Dragon Gate Flying Sword in the game. When he was just an ordinary otaku, he would go to perform the QTE every year on time, although he, who was always unlucky, had never gotten the real sword.

"So... this is what a sandstorm is like..."

Before Xu Qian could finish his remark, Sang Ge pressed his head down, saying, "Still looking? Get down on your knees!"

The moment Sang Ge finished speaking, the entire sky was shrouded in thick sandstorms, and the sky darkened extremely quickly. If it weren't for a faint white light on the horizon, it would have been almost indistinguishable from dusk.

Xu Qian was pressed down by Sang Ge, his head buried in the sand. All he could hear was the sound of the wind. He didn't know when the sandstorm would stop, but the feeling of sand constantly getting into his ears was unpleasant, and it was also very itchy.

About ten minutes later, the sandstorm swept rapidly toward their right. The temperature dropped quickly, suddenly going from summer to early spring. However, the residual 'exhaust gas' of the sandstorm was dry, meaning that the sandstorm had not completely ended.

Xu Qian tentatively raised his head. The fine sand in the wind was still a bit blurry in his eyes, but he could still manage to open them with difficulty.

Because they were still some distance from the center of the sandstorm, visibility wasn't too bad. However, the pile of rocks where the three of them had previously hidden had been half-buried by the yellow sand, and their entire lower legs were buried in the sand.

"We can't stay here any longer. We don't know when this sandstorm will change direction again. We have to leave! Quickly!"

“No, this camel won’t move.” Xu Qian waved his hand helplessly.

Sang was furious, but no matter how much he hit or scolded the camel, it wouldn't get up. Just then, the 'mute' next to them suddenly knelt down and bowed in the direction the tornado had left, muttering unintelligible words.

"W-Isn't he a mute? How can he talk?" Sangge was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on. "What exactly is your purpose—"

Seeing Sang Ge lift the man by the collar, Xu Qian's heart skipped a beat.

"careful!"

In that instant, a white light appeared on the man's waist.

With a "whoosh," Xu Qian's sword clashed with the opponent's bone knife.

Xu Qian exerted force, pushing his opponent back several steps. Taking advantage of this moment, he quickly recited the "Swallowing the Sun and Moon" spell to slow down and warm up.

After this encounter, the opponent realized that Xu Qian was a tough opponent, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Qian, as if the slightest movement could startle him.

Xu Qian's eyes flickered, and he saw that the sandstorm that had gone away earlier seemed to have changed direction again, heading right towards their location. He couldn't help but twitch his eye; they really had gotten themselves into all sorts of trouble.

Just then, a long whistle sounded, and a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Oh no! It's a falcon!" Sang recognized the thing circling in the air.

In the blink of an eye, a bloody gash appeared on the back of Xu Qian's hand. If he hadn't blocked it quickly enough, it would have been his eye that was injured!

[-10000], it hurts quite a bit when it bites.

"Xiao Fei! Go!" The little devil revealed a sinister smile, which was rather creepy upon closer inspection.

Xu Qian finally understood why this little devil could kill so many people and still get away with it. It turned out he had a 'cheat code' in his hands. What a pity, today he encountered a 'cheat code' that even the Heavenly Dao couldn't stand!

When it comes to cheating, you're still a bit weak!

They're just relying on their ability to fly, as if no one else can't!

Using the pile of stones as a springboard, Xu Qian launched himself with a powerful light footwork technique and locked onto the [Falcon] in front of him.

First, a triple ring encircling the moon, directly taking away a third of the falcon's health! The falcon was obviously caught off guard the first time and took the entire skill hit; the second time it learned its lesson and tried to escape, but how could Xu Qian let it get away? He rushed over with his sword and stopped it, then used a selfless sword technique, taking away another third; the last one, Eight Desolations Return to Origin!

Solved! The Falcon landed!

Xu Qian turned his back, sheathed his sword, and thought to himself: It's impossible for you, Jian Chun's father, to bully your short legs!

The God of Slaughter: "..."

Sang Ge: "..." (Clapping, clapping, clapping)

Xu Qian twirled his sword, showing no fear whatsoever.

Zagu, the man Xu Qian once called the "Demon King," lowered his head and walked toward his falcon, picking up the heavily injured creature.

Xu Qian became wary; could there be other tricks up his sleeve...?

In fact, no. Zagu picked up the falcon and knelt down. The grown man cried especially sadly, his tears and snot mingling together.

"..."

If Xu Qian hadn't realized that the other party genuinely wanted to kill them, he might have felt a little bit of sympathy. Now, all he feels is a toothache, what a mess this is...

"Little Mao," Sangge asked him, "what do we do now?"

"Sigh," Xu Qian sighed, glancing at the sandstorm that was relentlessly approaching them. "Let's find somewhere to hide for a while, and take that guy with us too. He's the worst of them all!"

"Okay." Brother Sang didn't ask any more questions and got to work.

Sangge wanted to throw away the falcon in Zagu's hand, but Xu Qian stopped him, saying, "Never mind, let him hold it."

The three, now back in 'peace', quickened their pace, leading the camel that had finally agreed to get up. A little further ahead was a rocky wall.
