Before Shiye could speak again, the man's threat was already uttered.
"If you want to survive, you'd better be honest."
The bulging eyeballs were filled with extreme coldness. Shiye raised his head and looked at him steadily. It was as if a poisonous snake was spitting out its tongue and looking at him. He had no doubt that if he didn't do as he said, he would die miserably.
Shi Ye looked fierce but was actually weak inside. Just one cold and fierce look from him frightened him so much that he trembled all over.
His lips moved, but no words came out for a long time. Such a coward.
"alright."
No longer paying attention to the corpse, the bamboo man turned around and looked at Liang Meng with a cunning smile.
"Master, let's make a deal now."
"trade?"
"I know you came to Wangcheng to look for something, I can give it to you."
"What are the conditions?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Meng was so direct that the bamboo man couldn't help but lower his head and laugh. But the laughter was really not flattering.
Liang Meng really wanted to plug her ears with cotton.
"The Hall Master is indeed straightforward. I admire him."
I rolled my eyes at the hypocritical flattery of the skinny guy. How could a grown man be so slow to speak?
"Please stop saying those lies. What do you want from me?"
"I want to know how to break the spell on the library."
The talisman of the library...? Could it be...
"You are from the Eldar tribe."
You, of course, refer to the bamboo man and the veiled woman.
"yes."
Liang Meng asked with certainty, and the bamboo-stalked man admitted it readily.
"Hmph~~" Liang Meng snorted coldly. "Want to rescue Lingyou? Just you?"
Although she had once jokingly questioned Yun Xuchen in front of him, Liang Meng believed that Yun Xuchen's words were not exaggerated at all.
Not to mention the library, even the door of Yunmeng Hall is not so easy to enter.
Liang Meng's sneer not only made the thin man frown, but even the veiled woman who had been sitting in the chair as if isolated from the outside world stood up after hearing Liang Meng's words.
He took a few steps forward and stood side by side with the bamboo man.
With her head lowered, Liang Meng could not see the emotions in her eyes.
"The hall master doesn't agree?"
"wishful thinking!"
The bamboo man was not angry because of Liang Meng's refusal, but reminded Liang Meng in a nonchalant tone.
"Master, I'm sorry I can't give you what you want. That tomb city will be buried under the yellow sand forever."
The bamboo man's half-threatening words made Liang Meng's body freeze. How could she forget the purpose of her coming to Delusion City?
Seeing Liang Meng's hesitation, the bamboo man took a step closer, his ugly and thin face full of wrinkles when he smiled.
"Whether the Tomb City can be saved, and whether the Tomb City Lord and everyone in the Tomb City can survive, all depends on the Hall Master's decision."
Liang Meng raised his head slightly, looked at the bamboo man with an evil yet confident smile on his face, and snorted coldly without any courtesy.
The look in his eyes when he looked at the bamboo man was full of contempt.
"You are wrong. I have another way."
"profound?"
"Kill you. I can still get the key."
As Liang Meng finished speaking, the bamboo man burst into a loud cackle. Zhuo Mu couldn't help but yelled angrily and covered his ears with his hands.
"Since the hall master is so determined to do what he wants, then don't blame us."
As he spoke, he took a few steps back, slowly stretching his arms out in front of him, looking like he was ready to start a fight at any time.
Liang Meng pulled one leg back slightly, bent his body slightly, stared at the two people in front of him with sharp eyes, and prepared to fight.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhuomu suddenly jumped out from behind Liang Meng and stretched out his arms to block Liang Meng.
There were still two candied haws left in his hand.
Liang Meng's vision darkened as Zhuo Mu's tall figure blocked his view. Then he remembered that there was someone beside him, and his eyes twitched twice.
I had just forgotten about Zhumu, but now I remembered that if Zhumu was around, I would have to take care of him.
My odds were originally 1:2, so my chances of winning were not very high. Add to that a stupid Zhuo Mu, and my chances were basically 0.5:2.
"Zhuomu, go stand at the door. You are not allowed to come in unless I call you."
Liang Meng pulled Zhumu away from him, and with a serious look on his face, he gave Zhumu an order in a stern tone.
Zhuo Mu shrank back at Liang Meng's yell, but he didn't obey. Instead, he put his hands on his waist and stretched his neck, speaking confidently.
"I want to protect you."
"careful!"
The bamboo man and the water girl saw that Liang Meng was concerned about Zhuomu. They looked at each other and instantly reached a tacit understanding that they could use Zhuomu to restrain Liang Meng.
Without warning, Shui Niang took the initiative, her palm wrapped in dangerous flames, slapping towards Zhuo Mu.
Liang Meng's eyes suddenly widened, and he didn't care about being gentle anymore. He grabbed Zhuo Mu's clothes with one hand and threw him out the door. He faced the raging flames with only one hand.
Unlike the bamboo man, Shui Niang didn't want anything from Liang Meng. The method to remove the spell that suppressed the library was far less important to her than killing Liang Meng.
So he was merciless and ruthless in his attack. He was completely ruthless in his attack on Liang Meng, intending to silence him.
Liang Meng barely avoided the flames, but Shuiniang's attack was fierce. Liang Meng was at a disadvantage because of Zhuomu from the beginning, and it was even more difficult for him to resist at this time.
Liang Meng hesitated and was hit on the chest by Shuiniang, and his body was thrown back violently. If it weren't for the door blocking him, Liang Meng would have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.
His chest was churning violently, and the smell of blood instantly filled his lips and teeth.
When Zhuomu saw that Liang Meng was injured, he shouted and tried to step forward, but was tightly held by the guards at the door.
Zhuo Mu's face flushed crimson, and he kicked and thrashed violently. The four guards barely managed to hold him down.
There was no time to give Liang Meng a chance to breathe. Before the flames on Shuiniang's side stopped, the bamboo man's overwhelming rain of swords came towards him again.
Liang Meng's chest ached terribly, as if his internal organs had been put into a meat grinder. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to straighten up. In a hurry, Liang Meng only had time to raise his arm and use a few spiritual powers to knock the rain of swords to the ground.
Unfortunately, a few of the fish that escaped the net cut Liang Meng's arms and cheeks. Blood immediately gushed out, and Liang Meng raised his hand to wipe his face, his palms full of sticky blood.
No longer underestimating the enemy, Liang Meng steadied his body and concentrated his energy. He bit his finger to activate the Chixuan Sword Seal, and his fingers quickly drew several talismans in the air.
After a few spells, the talismans flew towards the two men.
The two men flashed and attacked quickly, and were not hurt by the talisman.
Poor Shiye was in trouble. He was already paralyzed by the fighting scene. The talisman flew straight at him, and he could only sit there like an idiot, watching the talisman fly towards him.
The Shui Niang who was so affectionate with him the day before seemed like a different person. She watched coldly as the talisman knocked Shi Ye to the ground and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
He fainted halfway through his wailing.
The fight continues...and becomes increasingly fierce and dangerous.
